Question from the CryptoRank team

#1. Could you please tell us a little about yourself and TradeStars?

Christian Hentschel: – TradeStars is a Fantasy Sports platform powered by the Ethereum and Polygon layer 2 blockchains where users can trade digital assets that represent real-life events and athletes’ performances.

We are gamifying DeFi economic incentives with a fantasy stocks platform where users can express their passion for sports, compete against each other with true digital ownership, transparency, liquidity, and decentralization.

#2. There is a strong focus on creating a community-powered decentralized fantasy experience, how will you attract this initial community?

Anshul Pareek: – We have some very exciting set of actions planned.

For example, even in our testnet it’s the community who decide the next Players (Fractional NFT markets) to be unlocked on the platform.

We have daily competitions with the community where the winners get rewarded.

In the coming months we will have leaderboards and Fantasy Contests with daily, monthly and in special gaming contests rewards.

Users will be also able to stake their TSX tokens to enter the contests.
Real-time portfolio rewards, referral/affiliate campaigns, adding to the dividends distribution, are some of the actions to attract the community.

#3. Can you tell us a bit more about TradeStars and it’s features?

Anshul Pareek: – Absolutely! TradeStars is the Nasdaq for Fantasy Sports. A platform that rewards the sports fans for their knowledge. With a unique trading experience tied to sports real-life performances of the athletes.

We implemented a new concept based on Fractional NFTs. Each NFT represents the real-life athletes’ performance, and works similar to a liquidity pool on DeFi platforms.

Users are able to buy/sell fractions of those Fractional NFTs and the supply and liquidity is provided by the AMM algorithm on the smart contracts.

Some of the features we have implemented in current testnet are.

– Almost instant + gasless transactions – Thanks to Polygon guys!
– Liquid fractional NFT markets. Managed by an AMM algo for seamless athletes’ shares price discovery.
– Multi deposit, FIAT onramp ready. We support multiple FIAT deposits and direct to Layer2 with Onramp integrations.
– It’s a community governed game. Thanks to the TSX . The token gets liquidity mined by the real users of the game.

Questions from Telegram

#1.  Your website says that the assets values are influenced by real world events, so that means If I have a Messi based assets and he get hurt or cannot play, its value will decrease?

Christian Hentschel: – This would be a bit more complex, but we expect that the price go down because of things like this, as people wont be able to use the player for the contests, maybe sell its shares, and the price will start to go down.

#2. The main Chains that TradeStars use are Ethereum and Polygon, but more chains means more adoption, so have you considered integrate more chains like BSC ?

Christian Hentschel: – Yes, agree. We have this considered.

#3. Do we as investors of your tokens have the right to participate in the governance of the project? On what kind of decisions can they vote on about the project?

Christian Hentschel: – We’ll put this into consideration also. Some ideas, could be adding other sports, changing transaction fees, new features, etc.
