Top 3 Takeaways from Our Guest
1. “Liquid staking is more beneficial for users due to its versatile yield-generating properties”
Ahmed explained, in a very simple way, that liquid staking is much more beneficial for users and investors than “traditional staking” due to its more versatile yield-generating properties and the fact that anybody can skip the 10 days cooldown period by swapping back their sEGLD to EGLD on different platforms. In addition, sEGLD (the receipt of the staked EGLD) can be used for lending and borrowing, while staked EGLD tokens are taken into account at project launches.
2. $HTM will have 4 primary utilities
Ahmed went on to explain, that the $HTM token will be the heart of the ecosystem. It will have 4 driving utilities to ensure the token is liquid and enough volume is generated.
The 4 utilities are:
3. AshSwap partnership allows users to unstake EGLD without any cooldown period
Ahmed revealed that they have been in touch with AshSwap for over a year. The partnership is very important for the users as AshSwap makes it possible to “unstake” EGLD without any cooldown period. Users can go to AsSwap and exchange their sEGLD to EGLD in a second without waiting, and they can also provide liquidity by locking LP EGLD-sEGLD pairs further to increase the yield of their staked EGLD on Hatom.

Top 3 Key Takeaways
Lucian started the conversation by letting the enthusiastic audience know that the testing of xMoney cards is going great. The launch is set for Q3 2023, and right now, they are progressing from Phase One (core team testing) to Phase 2, called the Friends & Family phase, where they will hand out cards to a larger group of people in their network to find out if there are any limitations they need to improve which wouldn’t be visible with only 10 people testing the cards. The team is confident that the Friends & Family user testing group will uncover more hidden bugs and limitations, which they must correct before the launch to all xPortal users – now above 1 million users.
Since the last launchpad project listing, xLaunchpad, formerly Maiar Launchpad, is ready for a new listing. Lucian announced that the next launchpad listing is coming up soon. Along with the listing, new features will be released on the xLaunchpad, meaning users can interact and participate in new and different ways. In the next launch, those who hold XMEX (energized MEX token) will get extra ticket eligibility based on their energy tier and their staked EGLD eligibility. Lucian also mentioned that he recently learned about the #MEXto1 movement. Although he acknowledges it is a difficult target to reach due to the aggressive design of the MEX tokenomics, this morale boost is welcomed by the team. He is happy to see more people joining this initiative.
Lucian recognized it is not an easy task to predict the future. Which milestone will be more appealing to users or builders – his opinion is that xPortal, especially with the xMoney integration, has a high chance to onboard more users than builders due to its nature of usage and features. In contrast, most builders will probably join the MultiversX ecosystem after the xFabric release as that will be a tool that ensures a smoother token structure creation without requiring in-depth coding skills (or at all) therefore, the time of the project creation from concept to tokenization will be highly reduced.

Top 3 Key Takeaways:
1. Blockchain technologies are the backbone of this new frontier called “Metaverse”:
During the discussion, the three speakers recognized that developing a Metaverse project involves various challenges, including digital asset management, platform interoperability, and transaction security. In this context, decentralized blockchains play a vital role in ensuring security, transparency, and decentralization. They also empower decision-making and governance within the Metaverse, giving users ownership and control over their digital assets. The guests agreed that integrating blockchains is crucial for the success of any Metaverse project, as it enables the creation of a robust and functional ecosystem.
2. The Metaverse presents a compelling investment prospect for the future:
The speakers explained the Metaverse offers a wide array of projects, use cases, and utilities that have the power to revolutionize digital experiences. It opens up new possibilities for gaming, education, entertainment, and online social interaction, transforming how we engage with these aspects of our lives. However, the opportunity to be an early adopter makes it an enticing prospect for investors. By being among the first to invest in the Metaverse, individuals can seize its potential, gaining a competitive advantage and exciting growth opportunities.
3. The future of the Metaverse will be an evolution of the Internet into a multisensory digital realm:
Our discussion emphasized that the Metaverse industry is going to be the upgrade of the current Internet.
It is seen as the future convergence point where all elements come together, expanding beyond gaming. Although we currently associate the Metaverse primarily with gaming, it is crucial to recognize that the Metaverse is still in its initial stage of development. We are witnessing a gradual transition with immense potential.
Technological advancements will drive increasingly immersive experiences in the Metaverse. Our speakers highlighted the prospect of engaging all human senses, moving beyond the current emphasis on sight and sound. We anticipate fully immersive virtual worlds that involve touch, taste, and even smell, delivering heightened realism and captivation. The rapid progress of virtual and augmented reality technologies will fuel these multisensory interactions.
In this exciting scenario, the Metaverse holds the potential to revolutionize our lives, connections, and digital experiences, opening the door to limitless possibilities and boundless imagination.

Top 3 Key Takeaways
1. Diversifying and expanding to different chains is how MultiversX can grow in the future:
All three projects agree that the MultiversX chain is still very new and has much growth potential, specifically when it comes to gaining more traction around the chain’s NFT projects.
Uliana and Zed started the discussion by suggesting community members and founders leave the “MultiversX bubble” and venture into other spaces.
By attending other events (virtual or physical), and looking into other chain’s communities, MultiversX community members can utilize the power of word of mouth to tell other communities about the great projects on MultiversX.
Similarly, Caesar said that one of the ways he learned about MultiversX was through a collaboration with Cow Cow. Though highly affiliated with the crypto space, Caesar mentioned he only knew about MultiversX’s tech stack and native token $EGLD. However, he wasn’t aware of all the interesting NFT projects in the space until the collaboration with Zed.
He encourages more founders to look into cross-chain collaboration opportunities to increase awareness for MultiversX.
2. A project is only as strong as its community:
Another very important and recurring topic of discussion was the importance of community. With comparatively low trading and holder volume, a strong and loyal community is what drive projects to get even better. Uliana mentioned that XOXNO’s community often drives feature decisions and gives great suggestions for new elements that need to be added to the NFT platform. Discord discussion led to product development talks, which then led to a great user experience on the platform, as it was the “user” in the first place that suggested the new feature. Uliana mentions that having an engaging community like that is very valuable for developing the project.
Similarly, Zed and Ceaser say that project utility is determined by the strength and involvement of the community.
3. Education is key to gaining the trust of new community members:
The Twitter Spaces ended with a great discussion on the importance of education and how it will not only allow people to make fewer mistakes and avoid scams but also learn more about the MultiversX ecosystem. For example, with more Web2 companies showing interest in blockchain technology or starting their own NFT projects, there is great potential for more people to be educated about not just MultiversX but crypto via these big-name Web2 institutions.
