Core Convictions

  • Creators are the new brands - Creating brands instead of promoting brands
  • Creator and brand communities require sustainable community-led revenue flywheels

What can Metasky provide?

Boost Engagement in the Astar Chain Ecosystem

  • The Metasky suite of products offers the potential to enhance the vibrancy of communities within the Astar ecosystem, enabling them to create and implement robust loyalty programs with a strategic emphasis on augmenting engagement and optimizing monetization for these communities.

  • The user-friendly and intuitive nature of the no-code Metasky studio ensures a seamless experience, eliminating any learning curve. This feature is poised to yield significant time and cost savings for both established and emerging NFT ecosystems within the Astar framework.

  • Skywallet presents a user onboarding and navigation experience akin to traditional web2 platforms. This functionality is particularly advantageous for prominent brands and corporate entities, allowing them to introduce web3-based loyalty programs to their user bases that might not yet be well-versed in the world of cryptocurrency.

  • Skywallet goes beyond by accommodating the Japanese language and incorporating Yen-focused fiat payment channels, rendering it well-prepared for penetration into the Japanese market.

  • Metasky’s capabilities extend to facilitating the integration of communities and brand partners into the Astar ecosystem, contributing to its growth and diversification.

What are we expecting from ASTAR?

Astar is the go-to blockchain solution for Japanese developers and enterprises, serving as the pivotal gateway for entry into the Japanese market and the exploration of its untapped potential.

Conversely, Metasky’s suite of products and services has established a good presence within the Indian market, captivating brands and communities as they delve into novel opportunities within the realm of blockchain.

Metasky has been proactively cultivating partnerships within the Japanese market, collaborating with notable IP projects such as Tanukiverse, Minato Chan, 0n1Force, WenTokyo, Studio Seven, and Myth Division, among others. Beyond individual entities, our collaboration extends to the Yamanashi region of Japan where we are helping the local government to setup a web3 powered loyalty program around tourism in that region.

In pursuit of further expansion within the Japanese market, Metasky seeks the following support:

  • Integration of Astar Chain with Metasky tooling, involving the community treasury staking 2 million ASTR in dApp Staking over a three-month period, commencing from the mutually agreed-upon date and adhering to the established timeline.

  • Provision of technical guidance and ecosystem assistance for the exploration and development of zkEVM smart contracts.

  • Creation of avenues for business development within the Astar ecosystem and the broader Japanese market.

The milestones and timelines for the integration of the ASTAR Blockchain onto the Metasky platform are listed below.

Conclusion

The in-depth discussions regarding Astar’s vision and strategic direction with Sota and Shun during the IVS crypto event and token 2049 Singapore instilled a profound sense of assurance in us regarding the Astar ecosystem and its capacity to revolutionize the industry’s existing landscape. The unwavering dedication exhibited by the Astar team, evident not only in the development of this remarkable ecosystem but also in the efforts to establish a web3 regulatory framework in Japan, serves as a genuine source of inspiration.

We are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to embark on our journey of contributing to and constructing within the Astar ecosystem.

Hello thanks for the proposal,

To be honest I’m not aware of your product or your team until I read above proposal. But seeing a plan dedicated for Yen payment is (very) nice. Hope in the future will support others currency as well.

Which Astar that you want to deploy? EVM or zkEVM or Native (WASM)? Seeing your previous deploy seems on EVM.

We will be deploying on zkEVM

Allright, we will wait your product to launch later on zkEVM. At the moment, I don’t have anything to ask.
Welcome to Astar. :slightly_smiling_face:

Because zkEVM is not launched it’s not possible to already take part of the Unstoppable Grant program, this one is only running for Astar L1 as a parachain.
