Launchpool was excited to host Vinshu for an interactive Ask Me Anything session with the Launchpool Community. The AMA comes in anticipation of NiftyPays’s $250k Allocation Mining Event on the Launchpool pre-IDO launchpad. The session lasted for 1hr, and consisted of questions from Launchpool Team and questions from the community.
Questions from the Launchpool Team:
Jade: Please introduce yourself Vinshu & say hello to our lovely community.
Vinshu: I am an ex-banker working with blockchains for almost 7 years now. Have worked with 200 big and small blockchain projects including the likes of Polygon, DaoVentures, SuperFarm, Sandbox, Vulcanverse, etc. I used to be a developer/consultant myself and also did freelancing for a while : https://www.upwork.com/o/profiles/users/~010058c2735bbfc973/
Over time have grown considerably in DEFI and NFT space, lead a team of 70+ blockchain architects and working with some of the best minds in Industry at NiftyPays
Could you please tell us a little about the project & team, and your involvement with the team.
So NiftyPays is a decentralised NFT liquidity protocol. I essentially allows NFT hodlers to earn passive income from their idle NFTs by staking them or let them lend/borrow/rent their NFTs. Essentially think of us as a DEFI bridge for NFT world. Mode details can be found on our whitepaper.
Our team has been working from a long time together on big and small blockchain projects. We have delivered services to some of the biggest clients through our dev arm : https://www.nonceblox.com/

What made you choose Launchpool as your launchpad partner for the AME?
Our team did extensive reasearch on multiple IDO/pre-IDO platforms and launchpool was cherry picked among all others. Our decision is backed by weeks of research and data out there in public domain. we are confident this partnership would be mutually beneficial.
What is the total allocation you’ve set aside for the LP community? Are there any KYC / AML limitations or is the AME open to everyone? Please list any countries that are excluded from the allocation event due to regulatory reasons.
We have set aside $ 250K USD worth of $NIFTY token allocation for LP community. As we were heavily oversubscribed we wanted to maintain a balance and make sure our members at LP are also satisfied. The countries excluded from this sale are: United States of America, Canada and People’s Republic of China (but not including the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau, and the territory of Taiwan).
Since we talked about the AME values… What happens after the Allocation Mining Event? Walk us a bit through the tokenomics: total supply, initial circulating supply, initial market cap, initial vesting, total vesting period (from launch until when will the last token be vested for), etc.
Tokenomics: 180M total $NIFTY tokens
Public sale — $100k (starting at $0.1)
15% as community farming over 4 years
27% sold to investors, vested over 15 months
20%% team tokens, vested over 4 years
25% treasury, vested over 4 years
…Deck @ https://niftypays.com/NiftyPays_pitch_Deck.pdf
For LP community we have 12 months of linear vesting at Private sale price of 7 cents.
Our Circulating Supply is around 900k
Where do the community live? Where can we find you (social, web)?
Crypto is decentralized, we dont have any specific geography. I hope by live you mean our social media presence.
Here you can find all our social media links : https://linktr.ee/Niftypays
Our community has typically been very engaging and hope theh welcome other awesome projects from launchpool with equal enthusiasm.
Please share more on the development & product roadmap, milestones etc. What’s Completed? What’s In Progress? What’s Scheduled?
We are currently working towards launching our first module NIFTY STAKING FARM which will allow user to stake their idle NFTs and farm $NIFTY, our deflationary token. Project is well funded by 20+ Top Tier investors and it gives us a smooth roadway ahead. Next in iteration is our Spot pool loans and NFT Governance around fourth quarter of 2021.

How will the funds be used? How was the project funded until the AME?
Initially we bootstrapped the Project ourselves and later on VC funds came in. At this point, the project’s pre sales is almost five times over subscribed and we launchpool community will be a good value addition.
The funds will be used for marketing, operations and development on our price oracles.
What is the expected cap at TGE? How do you expect your token to gain value over time, any mechanisms to support the DeFi component (staking, burning, earning, spending, others)?
900k is the TGE at marketcap. We have already completed audited development of our $NIFTY staking and $NIFTY-ETH LP staking contracts for token hodlers.
We also use a considerable Portion of companies profits to swap NIFTY tokens from open market, add liquidity to Uniswap and burn them, hence enabling deeper liquidity.
More goodies to follow for our token hodlers.
Now we’ll open up the floor to the community if anyone has any questions!
What projects do you consider competitors and what differentiates you from them, if there are any?
There are very few competitors out there. Our biggest advantage is we have a solid team who have previously worked exclusively for branded NFT projects. We Bleed NFT!. Features that are Unique : Staking Farm, NiftyPawn Shop, Spot Loans, Reinsurance pool. The way how we have researched on Price discovery protocols and Collateral liquidation is best in the business.

We lock our liquidity and burn LP tokens so there is no risk of a rug pull ever.

We built NiftyPays keeping bear market in mind. Our tokeneconomics and managed selling ensures there is no dump or panic selling in market.

Community is an important thing to any project. How are you going to educate us that the project you are offering is long term? and do you have the funds and a strong team to be able to develop this project in the future?
We have our ABC sessions going on every fortnight. AMAs are also used.
Can you give us some key points to convince us and other investors to invest in NIFTY and trust it?
Project is already 5 times oversubscribed, so there is already heavy demand. The core token is Deflationary and keep on increasing in value over time fuelled by our use cases.
Please explain what NIFTY is about & how did the idea come about?
NiftyPays is a decentralised NFT liquidity protocol. I essentially allows NFT hodlers to earn passive income from their idle NFTs by staking them or let them lend/borrow/rent their NFTs. Essentially think of us as a DEFI bridge for NFT world. More details can be found on our whitepaper.
Where does the latest technology your project uses come from? Are you afraid that one day your project’s technology will be obsoleted by other projects’ technology if that happens, How will you solve it?
Not going to happen. As leader of NiftyPays and Nonceblox we pride ourselves on tech advantage. Also we keep on running pentests every month to ensure that our standards are best in business.
