INTRODUCTION:
Host: 1. First of all please introduce yourself, and share some information about your team, How big is your team right now?
Swaneet Singh: Thanks so much, we have a fairly decent sized team of approximately 50 people and ~25 contractual workers. Most of our team is dedicated to product, tech and blockchain. I come from a predominantly finance / tech background, santosh is our Chief ecosystem officer and comes from a VC and native blockchain background. vikram tanna, our COO comes from a media background and was most recently at discovery
Santosh Yellajosula: I am Santosh, Chief ecosystem officer (CECO) at Xfinite. I come from venture capital and community building backgrounds before moving to crypto in 2016.
Xfinite — a decentralized entertainment ecosystem has a strong team of engineers, product builders and leadership team
Host: 2. Can you please provide some information about the “Xfinite” project and How long you’ve been building this?
Swaneet Singh: We have been building Xfinite for 2.5 years now. Xfinite a blockchain-based solution to ensure transparency and re-establish trust in the digital world. We have built the Xfinite platform around the digital token, XET. The XET serves as the native currency of the Xfinite entertainment ecosystem and functions as a unique value exchange for all our current and future stakeholders including users, brands, influencers and content producers.
Our first dApp, www.mzaalo.com, is a play-to-earn platform but for streaming. It incentivises stakeholders based on our proprietary engagement and tokenises attention and engagement. Rewards earned on the platform can be used across our 600+ partners on our app itself and also for gamified features such as bid and win.
Host: 3. Please introduce the $XET token economic system, and what are the utilities of your token?
Santosh Yellajosula: $XET (Xfinite Entertainment Token) is the native currency of Xfinite ecosystem. As we scale the network $XET also becomes the atomic unit of ownership of the network. The main purposes of $XET are
1) Medium of exchange across content economies built on Xfinite
2) It is used to power the play to earn streaming economy (Mzaalo — our play to earn streaming dapp)
3) Buy NFTs in our ecosystem
(MzaaloNFT — our NFT marketplace)
4) Participate in staking to bootstrap liquidity for the token ( XSPO — Xfinite Stake Pool Offering )
Host: 4. Now would you please tell us more about your project’s milestones and plans for the near future?
Swaneet Singh:
Vikram Tanna: Mzaalo premium content catalogue with top Indian celebrities includes 12000 movies, Originals, Quickies, Music and celeb interactions across 12 languages. Our engagement algorithm rewards consumer time & attention. Consumers can redeem the tokens with exciting rewards across 600+ established brands and celebrity experiences.
Celebrities and influencers get access to an additional distribution channel (on top and in collaboration to the existing ones) where they can further monetize their content, monetize their brand in new ways (NFTs ) and create that direct relationship with their fans that everyone will benefit from.
Our decentralised entertainment ecosystem brings alive the concept of content drives commerce with www.mzaalo.com and www.mzaalonft.com
2022 has super exciting plans — Linking $XET to Mzaalo and Mzaalo NFT Marketplace launch will help us drive exponential growth
To summarise
Milestones achieved:
1. Launched Mzaalo with 6 mn + registered users millions of users
2. XET listing on MEXC (Https://www.mexc.com/exchange/XET_USDT) and BitMart (Https://www.bitmart.com/trade/en?symbol=XET_USDT&layout=basic)
3. 600+ loyalty and reward partners
4. Launch of XET on DEX https://app.tinyman.org/#/pool/add-liquidity?asset_1=283820866&asset_2=226701642
Santosh Yellajosula:
Host: 5. Lastly, Share some information about staking and farming for passive income options? How can long-term investors be benefitted?
Santosh Yellajosula: We started experimenting with staking by launching XSPO — https://xfiniteofficial.medium.com/xspo-xfinite-stake-pool-offering-the-origin-of-progressive-decentralisation-at-xfinite-371129d19a9a
Scaled this experiment by launching initial pools on yieldly. We got amazing response from community. more than 10% of circulating supply is locked into staking on this experiment https://app.yieldly.finance/
From a roadmap perspective — We are going to launching more staking pools as a product and scale it to LP farming on different DEXs across ecosystem
Our initial experiment on LP farming is currently live on Tinyman — an Algorand native DEX. https://app.tinyman.org/#/swap?asset_in=283820866&asset_out=0
11.25% of our $XET total supply is dedicated to all staking efforts. We believe long term supporters of the network deserves to earn the most skin in the game

TWITTER QUESTIONS :
6. How secure is your “Xfinite” platform to use? Have you done udits of smart contract? What security measures are adopted from bugs of smart contract and hacking?
Question by Brendon22412678
Swaneet Singh: Great question. We treat security as a priority and we stress test internally several times before launching anything. Any decentralised network faces risk so we treat this as seriously as we can.
Vikram Tanna:
Santosh Yellajosula: https://runtimeverification.com/blog/runtime-verification-audits-xet-token-and-its-deployment-script/ Here is the security audit report of our token
We have a fabulous group of blockchain engineers on our side to address security challenges (current and future)
Xfinite is one of the largest projects on Algorand and is supported directly by Algorand team who are among the best teams in the ecosystem to make sure security standards remain top notch
7. Your project has great features. There must be an experienced team behind. Can you tell some about your team and their experiences in the market?
Question by NetBet16
Swaneet Singh: We have some pretty passionate people within our team and one thing to note is that our team tokens are locked in and released over a period of 3 years.
Vikram Tanna:
Santosh Yellajosula: Right team to scale the project. Combination of crypto, blockchain, media and finance. Check out more about our advisors here xfinite.io
8. The main reason why most projects fail is because they do not have incentives in place for liquidity providers. How will prevent that from happening on it platform. Hope you’ve come up with various incentives to help incentivize liquidity providers on your platform?
Question by CryptoGrup
Swaneet Singh: Again very good question. We are focused on the quality of our partners as we believe in long term sustainable relationships as opposed to tactical or transactional relationships, we have some great partners who work with us as liquidity providers and are confident about the long term nature of these partners.
This also goes for exchanges we have already listed on and the exchanges we will be listing on in the future.
Our team is geared towards choosing partners who are right for the XET network.
LIVE AMA QUESTIONS :
