dApp Staking Proposal : ProofX

Astar Initiatives dApp staking applications
1

Intro

Dear Astar community, it is a pleasure to be here. I’m Urashima, Engineering Manager at ProofX. ProofX would like to apply for the Astar dApp Staking listing.

Project Overview

ProofX stands for Proof of eXperience, and we’re shaping various user actions and experiences as NFTs through this app.
Our program, regardless of online or offline interactions, grants NFTs to customers based on their actions and experiences, and manages a unique loyalty program where rewards can be earned through NFT collection. This contributes to enhancing customer loyalty for businesses and cultivating fan communities.

  2. Flexibility: We offer the flexibility to collaborate companies and design programs across different sectors, thereby creating new business opportunities.

  3. Engagement: By continuously engaging customers and involving them in the program in an enjoyable manner, we promote fan engagement.

ProofX’s team consists of AI/blockchain developers, designers, and marketing professionals.

Past Performance & Milestones

We’ve been using Astar Network for over one year now and created various use cases.
And here are some notable accomplishments and milestones.

The first one is the NFT Yugejii Digital Stamp Rally in the public bathhouses.

In this project, users can get original NFTs by visiting 18 public bathhouses in Shinjuku.
NFTs are minted free of charge and users can easily receive NFTs by simply scanning the QR code.Furthermore, if users collect NFTs by visiting all the bathhouses or the same bathhouse 50 times, users can receive title NFTs and exclusive prizes!
The title NFTs are like in-game titles, such as “Bathhouse Master” or “Bathhouse Beginner.”
And as a utility of NFT, we’ve organized exclusive events for NFT holders.

The second one is the Jomon NFT Digital Stamp Rally.

This event is currently running in Hokkaido.In this project, you can obtain NFTs by visiting the Jomon ruins of a world heritage site in Hokkaido. Seven Jomon Ruins are the target, and “visiting all of them” allows users to get a limited NFT. In this event, we proposed using the Astar Network to Hokkaido, and NFTs are actually being minted on the Astar Network!

Additionally, in this project, users can mint NFTs not only by visiting the Ruins but also by reading flyers or posting on X, so we use NFTs’ platform-less feature to boost engagement with users.

In the future, we plan to use this project to increase fans through several measures for NFT holders.

In addition to these two examples, we have many other use cases using Astar.

Future roadmap

ProofX is actively engaged in various experiments in collaboration with businesses under the theme of “Enhancing Customer Loyalty with web3.” Around November 2023, we plan to release a new application that builds upon the current ProofX App and includes features to facilitate cross-enterprise utilization, further expanding our capabilities.

It’s good to see you’re here. There is something that I did not fully understand when I saw it at our ambassador meeting.
Could you explain the concept of ‘Flexibility’ a little more?

Hi,

You seem to have great product, and community interest at heart. I listened to the presentation yesterday during ambassadors’ call.

Looking forward to seeing your dApp on the dApp store soon.

Thanks.

Of course, I would like to explain the concept of ‘Flexibility’ of ProofX.
NFTs are interoperable. So no matter where they are minted , they can be consolidated into Loyalty programs (LPs).

Building LPs on ProofX gives companies two kinds of flexibility.

First, by incorporating NFTs minted by other companies outside of ProofX into part of your company’s LP, you can easily collaborate with other companies.

Second, by incorporating NFTs minted by your company through various channels (e.g. EC or offline events) as part of your ProofX LP, you can flexibly launch marketing initiatives across multiple channels.

ProofX’s proposal to list on Astar for dApp Staking is exciting, especially with their innovative approach of turning user experiences into NFTs. Their track record, with successful projects like the NFT Yugejii Digital Stamp Rally, is impressive.

Can you provide more details about your security measures for protecting NFTs and user data?

8

Thank you for your question !

ProofX takes the security of NFTs seriously.
Users must go through a signature process before receive NFTs.
Therefore, only these authenticated users will be able to receive NFTs within the platform.
This measure prevents any fraudulent acquisition of NFTs.

“With the new dApp staking model, we will have a limited number of project slots. I wonder; what do you think you will bring to the Astar Network? I will determine my vote based on this answer.”

@Leo
Thank you for your question. Let us give you our answer.

Contribution to Astar’s Mass Adoption:
We are aiming for the mass adoption of blockchain technology, and we believe that we can achieve through collaboration with the Astar ecosystem.For the mass adoption , we are promoting the following:

1. Creating Use Cases for the mass market:

  • We have encouraged major companies and local governments to use Astar. We have more announcements in the pipeline.
  • Our services are designed to be Web2.0-user-friendly, allowing users unfamiliar with blockchain to easily create wallets using their social media accounts.
  • In fact, we have prize distribution and CRM integration necessary to promote large-scale projects. With these functions, we can carry out large-scale projects aimed at the mass market, and become a bridge between Web2.0 and Web3!
  • Our targets are aligned with the Astar team, and we are currently collaborating with the Astar Japan team to create new use cases.

2 . Attracting dapps to astar:

  • In addition, we are attracting dapps to Astar ecosystem.
  • With the ProofX app, not only can you build a reward program for NFTs issued by ProofX, but you can also easily build one for NFTs issued outside of ProofX.
  • As a result, brands and dApps can provide a more engaging experience on the Astar network, beyond merely issuing NFTs to users.
  • With this composability offered by ProofX, we can attract brands and dApps into the Astar ecosystem and increase the number of them willing to offer NFTs on Astar. In fact, such cases already exist.
  • In this way, the expansion of the Astar ecosystem is win-win for both Astar Network and ProofX, so we want to contribute to the Astar Network.

Thank you.

@BoomBLB
Thank you for yuor question!
We will answer your question below.

  1. Who are the target users? What are the short-term and long-term strategies?

Our main target users are major corporations and local governments.
We plan to introduce the product to Japanese companies first and then expand to overseas markets.

Short-term strategy
ProofX is a platform-based application, empowering businesses to execute their projects utilizing NFTs both cost-effectively and efficiently.
In collaboration with the Astar Japan team and major domestic distributors, we will develop various projects in a short period of time.
Our service also enables you to easily build a rewards program that also includes NFTs issued by other companies.
the surrounding dApps are running projects with ProofX and selling them along with their own services.
Because of these characteristics, our partner dApp has planned projects that combine ProofX with their own solutions and proposed them to various companies.
A number of such cases are in progress and will be announced in the future.

Long-term strategy
The long-term strategy is to enhance the value of our service as a platform in the areas of service loyalty programs and community marketing.
As users and projects accumulate on the platform, we will be able to add further value. Specifically, we plan to launch the following initiatives.

  1. Encourage collaboration between brands: We encourage collaboration and partnerships between different brands on ProofX. Many companies these days want to collaborate across brands, and ProofX will serve as a hub for new business opportunities. For example, we are considering unique collaborations, such as a joint program on sustainability.
  2. Evolution of ProofX : Using the vast assets (users, projects, data) gathered on our platform, we will continue to provide new experiences and added value to companies and users. For example, there could be special offers from companies to users that are made by analyzing NFT data.
  1. Where does the project’s revenue come from and how is it generated?

Our current revenue is generated from two sources: initial development costs and SaaS-like recurring fees when brands use this service.
