Question for Part 1- Project overview
Question 1: So, Mr. Duc Luu, to start today’s AMA, can you give us a brief introduction about Spores Network and the occasion that lead you to the blockchain industry and Spores Network project?
Spores Network:
I come from an edtech, proptech, and marketplace POV: I built and sold an Edtech startup in Hong Kong, sold it to Bain Capital Private Equity China and then took the parent company public on Nasdaq in 2017 for over $1 billion valuation. I spent the next two years as Chief Strategy Officer looking at Edtech M&A and incubation opportunities worldwide.
The last two years I moved back to my homeland of Vietnam to build the country. I served as COO of Propzy, a proptech play, where he helped raise $25 million from Softbank Ventures Asia, Gaw Capital, and Insignia Ventures. The company currently has over 20 stores in Vietnam. Soon I was poached by One Mount Group’s venture OneHousing to lead strategy and operations as COO, looking to scale another proptech play with backing by Vietnam’s top two billionaires of Real Estate and Banking. I am a contributor writer for Vietcetera, TechinAsia, and keynote speaker in Edtech, Proptech, and now Crypto.
Eric and I met during our time working at the Proptech and decided that Blockchain and NFTs are our true passion and started Spores together.
Spores is an Asia-premier NFT marketplace with supported De-Fi & Interoperability Tools
Spores Network founders deeply believe that a digital “metaverse” is being built today that will revolutionize our thoughts and behavior with respect to living, owning, sharing our physical and digital lives. Spores seeks to empower creators to create, exchange, and communicate their life’s work.
We believe in a future that is creator centricity, frictionless, borderless, community driven and we want to be at the epicenter as an ecosystem with a marketplace, de-fi tools, and venture fund that seeks to create value through project funding and support for our community
An interoperable NFT Defi platform is the foundation of the future of digital “metaverse” that we envision, it allows for frictionless and borderless NFTs economies transaction to take place.
Question 2: Please tell us about some potential points of Spores Network that make your project stand out from other competitors.
Spores Network:
Spores Network explores the extensive nexus between NFTs and DeFi markets. It is necessary to show readers a deeper look at Spores NFT-DeFi model, which basically combines NFT marketplace and DEX. Spores targets to erase the barriers and frictions caused by blockchain technical issues, then help artists, designers, game developers efficiently monetize their works via DeFi space. Furthermore, Spores facilitates DeFi traders with financial gamification in the NFT space, then helps them to enjoy and earn from collectibles, game items, digital cards & other creative content. Spore’s DEX is specialized for the NFT market, roughly speaking, to provide the most optimized liquidity and financialization for all NFTs in accordance with the native governance/utility tokens of NFT platforms. Spores aims to build a marketplace with low and efficient fees (supported by a layer-2 scale solution) which seems now the biggest pain-point of NFT market.
