1st Segment: INTRODUCTION

Q1 — Can you Kindly introduce yourself and FinSwapAPP to us, and also tell us your Background?

Ans — Hi guys, Michael Gohan here, Technical Lead for Finswap. I am a software developer by profession. Have combined experience of around 6 years with backend technologies with particular interest in scaling and blockchain technologies.

I have been fascinated about the decentralised economy from my early Engineering days at University of Texas but unfortunately did not get a chance work directly within the space. Finswap has been a great experience providing excellent opportunity to work hands on bc tech. Done :)

Myself David Cooper, CEO of FINSWAP having an industry experience of more than 10 years. I had worked as a Senior Business Development Manager for E trade and IBM. This trading expertise has led to the birth of FINSWAP.
Finswap is a culmination of all the trading tools that are available on centralized exchanges but are not available on a decentralized exchange.
Finswap aims to provide DEX users various advanced trading technique like Stop loss, Limit orders etc. and combining them with Defi protocols.

Q2 — What problem is FINSWAPAPP solving that is not solved by existing solutions today, why are you better than existing technology?

Ans — We always felt DEX’s are quite cool when it comes to keeping your stake in your hand but they do miss a lot more when compared to CEX.

To fill this missing piece, FINSWAP is amalgamating the tools of CEX like stop loss, limit order etc into DEX

To add to what David has said, we are also looking at integrating various defi protocols (and aggregations) so that users can combine defi and decentralised trading on a single platform.

Q3 — Can you briefly describe the Top milestones you have achieved and the top milestones you have to achieve going forward?

We already have developed our alpha prototype to get a sneak peak of Finswap platform plus our roadmap is available on the website . Stay tuned for more exciting news!

Development wise, we are currently in testing phase and have been able to integrate successfully with trading contracts and able to flesh out data on our UIs using https://thegraph.com/ APIs. We will be moving soon to alpha 2.0 where users will be connect wallets and fullfill market orders. We plan to release this working update soon after our pre-sale completion.

2nd Segment: TWITTER QUESTIONS

Q1 — As I see in your roadmap that you will launch your Litepaper in Q3 2020. Do you also plan to release Whitepaper in the future? Can you briefly summarize the content of your Litepaper? Thank you!

Ans — Yes we will launch our whitepaper in the coming days.
Our Litepaper contains all the details and issues FINSWAP aims to resolve and the methods to be used in resolving them.The Litepaper will be updated regularly.

Q2 — Can you highlight 1–5 killer features of FINSWAP over all other competitors? And how is FINSWAP any better than UNISWAP?

Ans — (a) Mobile and Web versions
(b) Stop loss, limit orders
© Chart Trading
(d) Lower Transaction fees ( Capping fee structure)
(e) Exciting returns on Staking

Deflationary token model based on burning platform fees ;)

Q3 — Why are you using LID Protocol for $FNSP token Presale? Why not use Uniswap or other platforms? What makes LID Protocol best for you?

Ans — LID protocol signifies credibility and confidence these days. Through growing with LID, we want to restore the community’s faith in good projects.

LID provides 60% of all eth raised to uniswap liquidity, increase contributors confidence manifolds.

Additional they also use 15% of eth raised for token buybacks furthering price stability.

Q4 — What your long-term vision of the industry FinSwap works in? Are you afraid that someday another project with better and more innovative technology will replace FinSwap?

Ans — No, we are not afraid. Frankly, we want more competitors so that everyone gives their best to attract the users. Monopoly always leads to less interest.
It’s a billion dollar industry. Many competitors survive effortlessly when they give off their best.

Q5 — How do you keep your platform safe for Investors and is your platform guaranteed to be protected from hackers AND what makes investors, customers, and user feel safe when working with FinSwapAPP?

Ans — Great question, Our product will be connecting to metamask/web3 wallet and the private key remains with the user. If you believe in your wallet, their is no question of getting hacked. We completely believe in the quote : “Not your keys, not your coins”.

3rd Segment: LIVE QUESTIONS

Q1 — How can I benefit from your Staking.?
What are your Staking criterias and reward structures?

Ans — Staking will allow users to earn rewards for locking tokens on Finswap platform. In addition, we are planning to introduce staking UNI-V2 FNSP-ETH as well to further feedback staking and uniswap locking. We have allocated 16.5% of total supply for staking rewards. On fully diluted basis we assume yield will be 14% and above, with initial return being even higher.

Q2 — Can you list 1 or 3 killer features of #FinSwap that makes it ahead of its competitors ?? What is the competitive advantage your platform has that you feel most confident about ???

Ans — None of the players in the DEX market have been able to build a platform where a user could really play with his trades. We at Finswap want the user to be completely flexible while trading on our platform.
1. Limit Orders on dex (noone has done this yet )
2. Stop loss orders
3. Staking

We have plethora of more features. Please visit our website (https://finswap.app) to look into them

Q3 — What is the structure of FINSWAP, is it decentralised or a open sourced protocol where everybody can contribute? If so, how does the governance plan on being handled?

We are building proprietary tools, so those codes will not be open sourced but our contracts for say lending aggregation will be open sourced and audited.

Q4 — What role does the community play in the FINSWAP ecosystem? How important is the community to you? Community is vital for the development of blockchain projects.
