The myth the legend

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 12:46]

Tommy, [25.02.21 12:46]
Normal guy making boss moves

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 12:46]
but thanks for the compliments 😅

Am I Bruce Wayne ... 🤔

haha

steve, [25.02.21 12:47]
I saw that ecomi is going to be affiliated with the NFL players association. Will you be able to do something similar to topshots with this deal?

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 12:47]
[In reply to steve]
The future is wide open in this space 🙂

Wow, the hype is strong in here haha

Great to see!

♥️ your support guys

John, [25.02.21 12:57]
[In reply to Satori Cryptos]
so i need to buy ecom?

Rhys (ECOMI- Will not ask for ETH), [25.02.21 12:57]
no

the token is OMI

people are mistakenly buying 'ecom' but the ticker is OMI

ECOMI FAMMMMMMM

aisha, [25.02.21 12:59]
You know $OMIs a good project when it has us all using BitForex 💀

Rhys (ECOMI- Will not ask for ETH), [25.02.21 13:00]
[In reply to aisha]
hahahaha soooooon you'll have some other options too!

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:01]
Alright you guys are all unable to message for the first portion of this AMA.

Welcome @DanECOMI Dan Crothers COO of Ecomi to the Bitsquad. We are glad to have you. I am your host The Cat. How are you doing today Dan?

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:03]
Super stoked to be here! Thanks for having me on today 🙂 🙂

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:04]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
Likewise, when I began looking into the project I was shocked how under the radar everything was. For those that don't know though, please explain what Ecomi is and what your goals are with your app VeVe?

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:04]
Absolutely!

So, ECOMI was established in and 2018 is leading the way in the mass market digital collectible space.

Through our app, VeVe, we offer fans the most comprehensive digital collectibles experience, with premium format 3D digital collectible NFTs from the world's leading brands.

VeVe is a digital collectible experience that mirrors what fans and collectors already know and love in the physical world of collecting, and brings the world of collectibles into the right into the palm of your hand in the digital realm.

VeVe is a live product available right now on iOS and Androind:

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ve-ve/id1478403837

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ecomi.veve

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:06]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
I was honestly shocked that Ecomi was established in 2018, and you guys have remained this under the radar. Mind blown.

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:07]
haha yeah .. it was hard too stay so low, and our community has been suuuper patient with us throughout that time 🙏🙏

The reason we needed to stay so under the radar was due to the license restrictions

But now VeVe is out, we can tell the world 🙂

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:08]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
Lets discuss some of those leading brands, you guys lead an NFT event in NYC not too long ago and announced some pretty heavy hitting partners DC comics, and the NFL being two of those that sticks out the most to me.

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:09]
For sure. So, to date Ecomi has secured more than 100+ brands which be rolled out over the coming years as epic 3D NFTs

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:09]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
Well some of these licenses that have now materialized are some of the biggest partnerships we have seen thus far in the NFT space.

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:10]
Some of the brands we have secured include: DC Collectibles, Ghostbusters, Harley Quinn, Batman, Superman, tokidoki, Back to the Future, Jurassic park, Monster Hunter, Ultraman, Adventure Time, Powerpuff Girls, Star Trek and many more.

yep - it was a long road to get here but super happy people are loving VeVe

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:10]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
How does VeVe work when it comes to purchasing an NFT?

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:12]
One of our main focuses is to ensure mainstream users can easily use the VeVe app, and for that reason all the crypto is behind the scene - but accessible if you want to access it

For this reason normal users can come into the app and pruchase via in-app purchase, like you would with any other app

and all the tokenomics happens in the background

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:13]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
Honestly, we all have seen a lot of fake inauthentic nfts in the nft space. So it's nice to see that there will be a platform allowing licensing for big players. This ensures that everyone who uses your platform will be getting authentic digital collectibles.

Tell us all a bit about Ecomi or OMI's tokenomics?

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:14]
[In reply to The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto]]
Yes, 100% - and in some cases, like Batman, these are the actual 3D models the artists sculpted

OMI is a utility token used to buy digital collectibles in the VeVe app both in the Store and secondary market.

Whenever a purchase takes place on the VeVe platform, an equivalent amount of OMI is burnt and removed from circulation, then a percentage of those purchases goes into buybacks

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:14]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
Very cool and great to hear. Can you transfer the digital collectibles outside of the Veve app to another wallet?

I imagine some of these collectibles will be worth a lot of money some day. Does Veve allow users to trade or sell their digital collectibles?

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:16]
[In reply to The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto]]
Great question, and one we get asked a lot

So VeVe digital collectibles are 100% NFTs, like you would expect. However, the caveat right now is some licensors are still a bit cautious of blockchain, so at their request the digital collectibles remain within VeVe - FOR NOW

Later this year we have big brands coming in who will be going straight to interoperable NFTS

It's just a matter of time until the VeVe plaform is opened up

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:17]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
In private we discussed you have a partnership to announce would you like to take the time right now to do that? 😉

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:17]
Yes!

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:17]

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:17]

So I'm happy to announce a new brand partner in our Vehicle category!

We are stoked to welcome General Motors!

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:18]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:18]
What can you expect from this brand? High resolution, beautifully detailed, interactive 3D models, of all your favorite GM vehicles – from Corvettes to GM’s concepts cars throughout history!

That's right - ALL THE CONCEPT CARS WHICH DONT EXIST IN RL

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:19]
Wow including concepts

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:19]

These are just a few examples

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:19]
That really is a huge announcement

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:19]
AND ...

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:19]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
Can we get General Motors to make the top left one? I want one.

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:19]
Because GM are the owners of Cadallic, I'm also super happy to announce we will be dropping the Ghostbusters Ecto-1

Coming soon to a VeVe app near you 🙂 🙂

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:20]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:20]
That's a classic

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:20]
Fully interactive and beautifully details

haha yep

All the ghostbusters fans will love that one!

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:20]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
Absolutely!

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:21]
So this will be a nice addition to our growing Ghostbusters offering

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:21]
So I have to ask, because you guys are using GoChain as opposed to Ethereum, do you see this as a hinderance for exchange listings? Because all of these brand partners are incredible but most of the NFTs are on Ethereum. So why did you choose to use GoChain?

Also Ethereum is where most of the liquidity is for trading

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:23]
When we began development a few years ago the blockchain landscape was very different and GoChain was a good partner and serves the needs of the business. The future will ultimately support multiple chains and we are in discussion with a number of top players in the space

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:24]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
When Ecomi to Cardano? I have to ask for my good buddy Crypto Crow. 😉

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:25]
[In reply to The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto]]
Haha, can't say but happy to investigate 🙂

For the interoperable NFTs, an ERC721 version can be generate to allow for interoperability

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:25]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:25]
I tried.

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:25]
Don't ask, don't get, right? 😉

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:25]
I am sure Charles would love you guys with all those partners.

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:25]

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:26]
Hook us up 🙂

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:27]

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:29]
I mean besides your partners, your team is also pretty impressive. I have to ask who is the master connector pulling all these big brands?

They deserve recognition

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:30]
Yes, we have a really solid team, and that is the reason we made it through the crypto winter and are still hear today

The core team is myself, fellow co-founder David Yu, and our SVP of licensing Alfred Kahn

Alfred Kahn, the man, the myth, the legend, is responsible for a little known brand called Pokemon (you may have heard of it..) as well as many other brands, and has been instrumental in helping Ecomi secure these world leading brands.

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:30]
David Yu hes the one that is pulling all these big connections worked 20 years in licensing right?

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:31]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
Hmmmm no never heard of it. 😉

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:31]
It's a team effort tbh!

David, myself and Al work as a team to secure the brands 🙂

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:31]

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:31]
David Yu, CEO, is a serial entrepreneur who has been in the collectibles industry for 25 years and has chain stores around the globe selling collectibles.

Plus, he is a LEVEL 9000 collector (if you get my meaning) and loves to collect everything - so he truely understands what makes collectors tick and why they buy

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:32]
[In reply to The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto]]
😄😄

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:32]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
Very awesome!

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:32]
As for myself, For the past 20 years I have been entrepreneurial online, growing communities into the millions, and building software solutions for some of the world’s largest toy brands. My real passion is crafting beautiful products that push the boundaries, and that is what I hope I have achieved with VeVe

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:32]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
Team effort!

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:32]
So the core team is well rounded in business, licensing, and tech and brings all the necessary skills to create this new product

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:32]
[In reply to The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto]]
Tag team all the way lol

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:33]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
I was going to ask you about your own background as we kind of skipped over that in the beginning because I was too excited with all those brands I saw.

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:33]
We have all also known each other for many many years, so team is tight!

haha sure!

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:33]

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:33]
I want an authentic cat pickachu collectible lets make it happen!

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:34]
I'm basically a nerd, and have always been in the tech space, jumping in early on new tech

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:34]
Would you like to share anymore of your NFTs with the community today and show case them?

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:34]
I was a bit later than most and joined the crypto space since 2017 where I got in, luckily, right before the bull market

Yes!

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:34]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
When did you buy your first Bitcoin?

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:35]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
HAHA

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:35]
Thats too funny man I typed that up as you answered it.

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:35]
Got my 1st BTC in mid 2017 - AND I WISH I PURCHASED MORE BTC haha

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:35]

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:35]
We all have the crypto ragrets lol

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:35]
Are you also psychic?

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:36]
haha only on thursdays

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:36]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
I mined 100 BTC in 2010-2011 and LOST it when my hard drive crashed and I didn't back up the seeds. So I feel your pain.

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:36]
[In reply to The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto]]
brothers in arms lol

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:36]
So I do have a few more videos of the DeLorean to share!

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:36]
Sure thing stage is all yours.

Feel free to share whatever you like with the community today.

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:37]
So for those of you who are not aware, one of our brands is Back to the Future

and we have an amazingly detailed digital replica of the DeLorean, whihc you can soon own as an NFT

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:37]
Can I borrow that DeLorean to go back in time and save my seed phrases?

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:38]

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:38]
Vid is uploading....

lol

This is an example of the DeLorean in AR, scaled up 1 to 1

All our collectibles can be scaled to whatever size you want

ALSO!

I have another preview of the DeLorean in interactive mode!

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:39]
I have to ask any plans to create a racing game with all these? Because that would be a good idea.

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:40]
This of this as a digital radio control car haha

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:40]

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:40]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
That's so cool

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:40]
Once in 'Drive mode' you can drive it around, do burnouts etc

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:40]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
This one.

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:41]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
That's freaking sick

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:41]
We are in the process of adding finishing touches, like tire smoke and tracks when doing burnouts

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:41]
and I can tell you it is quite addictive!

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:41]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
Oh no you almost ran someone over with an AR car

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:41]

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:41]
Well, they should get outta my way! 🤣🤣

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:42]
So we are really trying to push the boundaries with whats out there now

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:42]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
Would be cool to also go beyond just AR and add race tracks in the app and for the collectibles different shelves etc. But I am sure you guys have all that coming.

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:42]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:42]
and hopefully usher in a new era of digital toys, that are limited edition with full ownership

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:42]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
Definitely man that's incredible.

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:43]
It's always baby steps to start

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:43]
Also, just in cas esome users are not aware, within VeVe you can create and decorate virtual showrooms

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:43]
I have one more question for you before I open the flood gates for user questions and allow a few users to win nfts.

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:43]
Here's an example from one of our supporters

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:44]
What is your roadmap?

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:44]
haha oky, I shall prepare myself

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:44]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
Oh wow that's cool.

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:45]
So roadmap, we have a lot of cool stuff coming this year:
- Custom branded showrooms
- OMI Staking
- Blind box openings
- The 'VeVeVerse' - which I can elaborate on in the future
- A Brand new type of digital product with leading licensors

and the list goes on and on

A new exchange listing coming very soon too, so stay tuned for that!

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:46]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
Okay I know I said that was the last question but you just gave me more ammo for more questions with that list.

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:46]
haha shoot

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:47]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
Starting off, custom branded showrooms? Is that going where I think it is an example, lets say NFL player NFTs in a stadium or Cartoon Network characters in their own enviornments?

Second, OMI staking will there be tiers for this and will users receive staking rewards for securing the network?

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:48]
Yes, you are 100% bang on. So for NFL you could expect a stadium where all your collectible players can be placed on field

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:49]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
Blind box openings would be basically a mystery box right?

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:49]
Or maybe a batcave or corner of Gotham city for your batmans

Plus showrooms you can create from scratch at your own design

Dan | ECOMI [25.02.21 13:49]
[In reply to The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto]]
yes that's correct - they are hugely popular in the collectible world

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:50]
that's super cool I am stoked for all this. So essentially mystery box chance at getting a "rare" nft right?

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:50]
[In reply to The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto]]
We're are working through the final model, but ultimately yes the idea is to reward users for staking

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 13:50]
Like opening a pack of pokemon cards

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:50]
[In reply to The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto]]
Exactly

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:51]

Hi Dan! You made a big announcement with GM in here, and have mentioned in various interviews the desire to have interactive NFTs. In the future, will we be able to have car races with the various vehicles your are implementing? A version of Ready Player 1 if you will? 🙂

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:52]
[In reply to Sean O.]
Definitely! Multi-user interactivity is a core part of the VeVeVerse 🙂

Wunderbar, [25.02.21 13:56]
Hi Rhys, when is the marketing scaling up, so everyone get to know Ecomi?

Rhys (ECOMI- Will not ask for ETH), [25.02.21 13:56]
[In reply to Wunderbar]
we're already scaling it up 😊

Fetcher, [25.02.21 13:56]
Hi Dan!

NFTs are becoming a really big thing. I understand that Ecomi´s primary target will be the retail market - which is going to be extremly huge... How will ecomi explain the value of nfts to people so that they understand better?

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:58]
[In reply to Fetcher]
We do this by attract the user with their fav brands and then a great digital collectible experience on top of that. Once in VeVe the mainstream users can learn more about NFTs and OMI

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:57]
holy moley - can't keep up sorry guys 😅

IchiTakeru (Trader), [25.02.21 13:57]
Will gems always be 1:1 gem:1 usd, and will we be able to convert our gems from VeVe in to crypto / usd later down the line? Ie, if we auction an item off and wish to cash in on a rare gain?

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:58]
[In reply to IchiTakeru (Trader)]
Yes and Yes

Kevin Barden, [25.02.21 13:57]

[In reply to Kevin Barden]
early march

NeoZen, [25.02.21 13:58]
When you say the collectibles stay within veve FOR NOW what are the potential scenarios expanding outside of veve?
Im getting mega 'Ready Player One' vibes, especially with that DeLorean!!! Could they potentially be used in games at some point?

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:58]
[In reply to NeoZen]
Ready player one is the goal 😄😄

Rhys (ECOMI- Will not ask for ETH), [25.02.21 13:58]
the chat will be muted in a couple minutes team

Jerome Danks, [25.02.21 13:58]
Hey dan, What are the future plans for Ecomi/Veve's digital collectibles to remain competitive? virtual reality action figures, battles, races, etc?

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 13:59]
[In reply to Jerome Danks]
All of the above! We has lots of epic plans and ideas

Beniamin, [25.02.21 14:00]

[In reply to Michael Brauer]
the iOS app is already live 👍

NeoZen, [25.02.21 13:52]
When this platform starts to have 100,000s or millions of people have you figured out how to distriubute drops like ultra and secret rare when there are only a couple 100 of them but thousands of simultaneous people wanting to buy them?

Rhys (ECOMI- Will not ask for ETH), [25.02.21 14:07]
[In reply to NeoZen]
drop days happen the same time and day every week. 8 am PST (although they're 7 am right now due to daylight savings hours).

You have to be in it to win it!

Autonomous Evolution version SE-778H, [25.02.21 13:52]
Will there be location based NFT's? Like comic conventions, etc...?

Rhys (ECOMI- Will not ask for ETH), [25.02.21 14:04]
[In reply to Autonomous Evolution version SE-778H]
absolutely, VeVe has a geo-locating ability, so we can make collectibles available at special events like Comicon

Bbusy, [25.02.21 13:57]
Explain the burn mechanism so people understand the potential from by using the tokenmetrics side and not just look at the marketcap

Rhys (ECOMI- Will not ask for ETH), [25.02.21 14:02]
[In reply to Bbusy]
The deflationary token - The OMI token has two uses: firstly, it is the utility token of the VeVe NFT ecosystem, in that every new NFT purchase uses OMI, and in not too distant future staking it/being a liquidity provider will enable you to acquire certain exceptionally rare and valuable NFTs. Secondly, you need OMI tokens (which in the app are actually Gems) in order to participate in the peer-to-peer market.

The mechanics are designed to create token scarcity as adoption and NFT sales grow, due to the deflationary nature of the token supply.

The normie stablecoin - In order to make the experience of using the app as seamless as possible for mainstream users who would prefer to just buy NFTs and don't want to engage with the volatility of crypto, there is an in-app stablecoin called "gems" each of which always represents $1. So these mainstream users can buy gems with their fiat, safe in the knowledge that if they leave them in their wallet for a month before they come back to buy an NFT, 1 gem will still be worth $1.

Under the hood, however, every transaction runs on OMI. Let's go through the two main types of transaction to understand how this works in practice.

Mechanics of new NFT purchases - When a user buys a new NFT by converting their OMI into in-app gems and swapping those for the NFT, all of that OMI is permanently burned, reducing the circulating supply. The OMI tokens that were swapped actually get held in a wallet, called the Vault wallet, and when the Gems that represent them are spent in the store, they’re burnt.

If on the other hand a user who does not own OMI directly buys in-app gems with cash (fiat), then the equivalent amount of OMI (based on the spot rate at that time) is taken out of the in-app reserve and held in the Vault wallet. When those Gems are spent in the Store, the underlying OMI are again burnt, reducing the reserve supply. In order to keep the reserve liquid, 10% of the money used for store purchases (minus platform fees) is used to buy back OMI from exchanges.

Example: If a user spends $100 on a new NFT, the equivalent in OMI is permanently burned and $10 is spent on buybacks from exchanges.

Mechanics of secondary market NFT purchases-If a user swaps their OMI into Gems and then buys an NFT on the secondary market from another user, those Gems (and therefore the underlying OMI) are transferred to the seller. If they are then spent on a purchase in the VeVe Store, those OMI are burnt

If a user chooses to buy those gems with fiat, 100% of that money (minus platform fees) is used to buy back OMI from exchanges. I repeat, 100%. This is a big deal, as the secondary market is expected to be bigger than the primary market.
Example: If a user spends $100 on a secondary market purchase, after Google/Apple fees, $70 is spent on buybacks.

Basically, when purchases are made in the Store (whether it's with fiat or Gems), OMI tokens get burnt.

Right now that is the only way the tokens get burnt. When we implement the coming changes to allow Gem > OMI swaps, there will be a 2.5% fee placed In the Market (peer to peer marketplace), to be paid by the seller, which is also burnt.

So both marketplaces will burn OMI at that point. e.g. i sell a collectible in the market for 100 Gems. 2.5 Gems is burnt (which is actually 2.5 Gems worth of OMI, gets moved from the Vault wallet which is where it is currently being held, and sent to the out of circulation wallet).

the buybacks come from:
10% of sales in the Store
100% of the revenue generated from the sale of Gems (which is done with fiat).

[In reply to Sean Newman]
yes!

Ryan, [25.02.21 14:00]
Hi Dan.
As far as I’m aware, there’s a difference between paying with gems and USD. For example I can’t buy some with gems but only USD. Will this be changed in future?
Thank you.

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 14:00]
[In reply to Ryan]
Moving fwd, Gems will be the ubiquitious currency in the app - having both Gems and USD became to painful

Complex, [25.02.21 14:00]

They are the biggest brand in the world - let us get out of Beta first and go from there haha

Ryan Donnelly | TITANBLOCK, [25.02.21 14:00]
I heard that OMI is the blue-chip of NFT's. I think this interview has proven that.

Thank you @ryandonz

Ben Fox, [25.02.21 14:00]
Hi Dan loved the AMA tonight! As you eluded to earlier, with purchasing NFT's from VeVe being so accesible to non-crypto users, where do you see the future scale of Veve being or where would you like it to go?

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 14:02]
[In reply to Ben Fox]
Netflix for digital collectible and other digital products in an immersive digital collectible ecosystem

@DanECOMI you may now begin answering some questions

You can either choose the best questions for the winners or answer as many as you can handle.

@ecomi_rhys 👌

Oky ..

let me see ... there are too many good ones!! argh

The Cat 🐱 [BitboyCrypto], [25.02.21 14:04]
All up to you guys on how many NFTs you want to give away. 😉

Shaun Pierso, [25.02.21 13:59]
[In reply to Dan | ECOMI]
So my question would to be directed towards this veveverse you speak of. The concept I have thought of this is a virtual world among the users within the platform? For the aspect of trading potentially racing and other things. Also would this veveverse have VR malls to go shopping from top brands since malls are slowly going away as we go into the digital world.

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 14:06]
[In reply to Shaun Pierso]
The winner is, Shaun!

aisha, [25.02.21 13:52]
Dan, can you please clarify to new/interested investors that the ticker for ECOMI is $OMI and not $ECOM. Many have been purchasing the wrong token. Thank you :)

Rhys (ECOMI- Will not ask for ETH), [25.02.21 14:07]
[In reply to aisha]
I will re-iterate this.

Our token is called OMI

we are NOT the 'ecom' token

Tommy, [25.02.21 13:51]
Dan, is the streetfighter NFT on WAX in anyway affecting your licensing with capcom? Will we see SF NFT on VeVe?

Rhys (ECOMI- Will not ask for ETH), [25.02.21 14:09]
[In reply to Tommy]
We have announed the SF brand is coming to VeVe, the licensing deals are different, wax is making...cards.. of some sort?

We have beautiful high res 3D collectibles with interactive AR

James, [25.02.21 13:51]
Hey y’all.. kinda nervous to ask but my questions, haha.
1. Do you think it it becomes big enough that we could incorporate our owned NFTs into emoji type conversation on iOS and Android? That would be mass adoption in seconds. If it’s a dumb question just mute me lol.
2. Will you release daily OMI burn numbers somewhere once the app is fully up and running?
I love the VeVe app tho! Keep up the good work!

Dan | ECOMI, [25.02.21 14:16]
[In reply to James]
Thanks James! The options for NFTs in the future is very wide and we will be looking into many opportunities

Burn number can be see in this spreadhseet, kindly created by one of our community members!
