beyondClub Dapp Staking Proposal

Dear Astar community, it is a pleasure to be here. I’m Yuki, CEO at beyondClub and I would like to apply for the Astar dApp Staking listing.

Project Overview

beyondClub is a pioneering no-code web3 loyalty and membership platform that is set to revolutionize how brands and creators engage with their audience.
Our platform offers a seamless and innovative approach to cultivating fanbases, enhancing engagement, and driving retention through exclusive rewards and ownership.
With BeyondClub, brands and creators can harness the power of blockchain technology - even without blockchain knowledge to create personalized experiences that resonate with their audience, fostering deeper connections and lasting loyalty.

At the heart of BeyondClub is our dynamic NFT launcher, a tool that empowers brands to create NFTs that evolve dynamically based on user interactions. These interactions are gamified through quests on different varieties like onsite, online or even onchain!
This is to ensure that fans are not just passive consumers but active participants in the brand’s journey. As fans complete quests and engage more deeply, the NFTs they hold undergo transformations, adding an element of uniqueness and excitement to their ownership experience.
These NFTs also serve as access tokens to exclusive content, further incentivizing engagement and fostering a sense of belonging.

We have already made significant strides in the web3 ecosystem. Our ongoing partnership deals with notable entities like TofuNFT, Hakuhodo Key3, which is co-founded by Sota Watanabe, and Global Blockchain Events underline our commitment to collaboration and innovation. These partnerships enable us to offer enhanced value to our users, access new markets, and stay at the forefront of emerging trends.

We aim to onboard more Japanese, Asian, and global enterprises into web3 and Astar ecosystems together. Our approach is rooted in partnership and empowerment to equip Japanese enterprises with the tools, knowledge, resources, and support needed to navigate the intricate landscape of web3. While leveraging Astar’s technology, we ensure a seamless and secure user experience for our platform, driving user confidence and adoption. This integration also opens doors to a network of like-minded projects, fostering collaboration and cross-pollination of ideas that will further enrich the web3 ecosystem.

"Your customers can buy and sell their collectibles or limited access in your own secondary marketplace. It will create new interactions between customers and another source of revenue as a secondary royalty fee. "

For secondary market feature.
Is it something like their own page?

Btw which VM that you will deploy? Wasm, evm or zkevm?

Thank you for your questions!

Exactly, it’s like their own white-labeled marketplace.

Btw which VM that you will deploy? Wasm, evm or zkevm?

We are deploying to EVM first, but will deploy to zkE once the mainnet is ready.

Hi Yuki,

It’s nice to see that you’re interested in Astar Network.

I find your project interesting for teams wishing to engage with their community in an autonomous, no-code tool. However, I would like to invite you to check the dApp Staking program again, as the product must be launched on Astar Network before applying to the program.

If your project is not yet ready for launch and needs a few months’ development, I recommend you apply to the Unstoppable Grant program.

Good luck!

Thank you for your support and feedback!

Hi Yuki,
This is a very interesting project, and thank you very much for your interest in Astar! I am wondering if you can help with me the following questions:

  1. Do you have a milestone and timeline for the dynamic NFT and other products?
  2. I checked the website, it seems the product is not available yet, did that mean you are still under development?
  3. How do the interactions through quests can change the NFT that is already sent to the user’s account? Do you need to make a new NFT standard?
  4. From your figures, it seems your NFT will be in mult-chains? Do users use Astar to buy/sell the NFT?

Hi @Sequaja !

Thank you for your positive feedback!

As a user side, you can try it out this October with “Astar Journey with beyondClub”.
By engaging with dapps on Astar, you can elevate your membership NFTs and have a chance to win ASTR token too. We will start it next week.

As a client side or brand side to create the loyalty program itself, if anyone from Astar members are interested, I can prioritize and give you access immediately!

Very interesting!
I’m looking forward to the launch of “Astar Journey with beyondClub.”

I have a question about the approach to the Japanese market mentioned in the Staking rewards.
Specifically, what kind of partnerships will be formed? I’d like to know the strategy and any information that can be disclosed.

Hi @DrCAO !

Thank you for your positive feedback and questions!

  1. Do you have a milestone and timeline for the dynamic NFT and other products?

dynamic NFTs and major quests are ready on Astar this week!

We will launch Astar Journey with beyondClub next week where communities can try it out!

  1. I checked the website, it seems the product is not available yet, did that mean you are still under development?

The core features are ready and communities can try it out with “Astar Journey with beyondClub” since next week!

For you to create the dynamic NFTs or loyalty program for your community or products, it’s still private beta but if you wanna access it, I can share it to you as well.

  1. How do the interactions through quests can change the NFT that is already sent to the user’s account? Do you need to make a new NFT standard?

NFTs we deploy will have a token base uri, which is a json file consisting the details of NFTs.

So far, we store it on our db and update it based on the user interaction (especially how much points they have and tiers of your NFT).

But we are planning to use Ceramic, so that json file can be stored on IPFS, while we can still update it in a decentralized way.

  1. From your figures, it seems your NFT will be in mult-chains? Do users use Astar to buy/sell the NFT?

When brands/communities launch NFTs, they can select which chains they wanna deploy the NFT contract. So if brands launch it on Astar, users can buy/sell the NFTs on Astar!

Hi @bao

Thanks for the positive feedback!

We already have partnership with tofuNFT and Hakuhodo Key3, which is organized by one of the biggest marketing agency in Japan.
Not only that, we also have ongoing partnership discussion with several marketing agencies who already have enterprise clients, so by maximizing their relationship with those enterprise, we would like to onboard more enterprise to onchain.

I really like the concept of no-code NFT Loyalty Platform for brands and communities.

I can’t wait to test your product on Astar.

Just a question: do you plan to deploy in wasm side as well?

From my understanding, you store the NFT attributes in your own database. Have you considered saving them on the blockchain or at least a hash to verify the validity of your data? I think the wasm NFT could allow you to do this.

Already asked few questions discord which Yuki answered with glance. Thank you for you work!

Great proposal and if the objectives of this proposal are met, the onboarding process for new members, individuals, and web 2 companies could be excellent. I especially appreciate the concept of a no-code NFT. I will support this initiative.

We don’t have a plan yet to deploy in wasm side so far.
But we are considering to bring NFT attributes’ has on chain to enable people to verify the data!

We will also look into wasm NFT, if that’s easier on wasm as well. Thanks for the insight!

Thank you so much! @Matt

Thank you for the positive feedback!

I believe that platforms that offer loyalty programmes are important in web3

Community growth and incentive-driven participation is what Astar needs right now.

I couldn’t say no to a community growth platform.

Great job!

Thank you so much! @Vangardem
Happy to be a part of Astar community!
