CATEGORY A
Eddy@Animalia [Will Never DM - :
we will first ask a few questions in category A and we will move on to category B and choose 5 questions from our community for you to answer
As you guys know animalia and spores network have formed an partnership . Great to have you here @erichungnguyen
Question 1 - :
Eddy@Animalia [Will Never DM]:
Please introduce yourself and tell us more about your project
Eric Hung Nguyen - Spores - :
My name is Eric, CEO and Cofounder of Spores Network. I come from the hedge fund / investment banking world where I spent many years running large global investments portfolio for Nomura International and Elliot Management. I've been a crypto investor for over five years and this is my second successful crypto-based startup. I did my bachelor at the London School of Economics so I do know my way around Eddie's hometown as well.
At Spores Network we believe that the decentralisation of ownership and burgeoning metaverse will uniquely bridge our digital and physical lives. Our mission is to create an NFT ecosystem that is creator-centric, community driven, and borderless. Spores functions as a media company that leverages an NFT marketplace and game publisher platform to activate content creators in art, games, and entertainment. Spores GameFi solutions include activations via a Launchpad and Incubator capabilities for IDO, IGO, and INO opportunities. Everything we do is from the lens of being Asian-influenced with Global Reach.
Question 2 - :
Eddy@Animalia [Will Never DM]:
thanks for introducing yourself and about Spores
lets move on to question number 2
Why do you choose to launch the project? What do you think are the missing parts of the NFT market?
Eric Hung Nguyen - Spores - :
I believe Spores is in a unique position because we aim to be a media company and establish ourselves as THE go-to partners for artists/creators, games, IPs and brands. We’re also not limited to just crypto/NFT partners, but we have and will accommodate the mainstream looking to enter into this exciting NFT space. The possibilities are endless when a company opens itself up like Spores is doing.
For instance,
We have 40-year-old mecha masterpiece, Maschinen Krieger (Ma.K) by Kow Yokoyma. We will NFT Kow’s most infamous Ma.K models which guarantees will make the dreams of any mecha/model collectors come true.
Question 3 - :
Eddy@Animalia [Will Never DM]:
interesting! very unique indeed
im sure we have alot of mecha fans / collectors here too in animalia
When did Spores get interested in Game-Fi? And, what is the meaning of NFT to Metaverse? What is the relationship between the two?
Eric Hung Nguyen - Spores :-
We have always been focused on GameFi through our steam inspired gamefi secondary NFT marketplace, now we are adding IDOs/IGOs and directly investing through our Spores Capital Ecosystem Fund to bring GameFi IDOs to market. NFTs allow you to own a piece of the Metaverse you’re in. Simple as that. Without NFTs, you’re playing in someone else’s world, not your own. NFTs bring back the power of ownership. Imagine if you get to jack into the Matrix and play there, but that you own whatever you create/buy/dream up of there as well.
What's what makes me special in the meatverse. NFTs allow for uniqueness in the metaverse, a game changer really for all things digital. You can have a million copies, but there will always be a #1 of a million. I want to own or be that only one. Please join our community to get access to our IDO/IGO accelerator programs and whitelist for future drops.

Question 4 - :
Eddy@Animalia [Will Never DM]:
very nice , i believe were just at the start of the Metaverse/NFT world. There is so much more to explore
- Can you tell us about some of your milestones and what are you planning to achieve in the near future?
Eric Hung Nguyen - Spores - :
Two major developments for Spores as we seek to be known as a media company and not just an NFT marketplace. We have always been focused on gamefi and metaverse through our steam inspired gamefi secondary NFT marketplace, now we are adding GameFI IDO/IGO/INOs and directly investing through our Spores Capital Ecosystem Fund to bring GameFi IDOs to market.
We will have 2 phases for metaverse We have 5 IDOs/IGOs on the way for Q4/Q1. Another unique thing we are doing in gaming is offering incubator solutions where we invest in IDOs - and operate blockchain game studios - with venture capital style support across funding, marketing, operations, and tech advisory functional expertise. We plan to have 4 IDO/IGOs slated per month moving forward, so if you’re looking to invest in the metaverse and GameFi you can join our accelerator program and community to participate.
Then we have our metaverse activation. This too is broken into two parts and by the end of the year our first meta solution will be live - Republique - a gallery, museum, and retail space. This gallery space will be used for personal expression by our artists. They can do anything here that they want. This is a space where patrons can immerse in temporary and permanent world-famous digital art and offers a section where everyday people can house their own gallery.
Question 5 - :
Eddy@Animalia [Will Never DM]:
Big heads up for all artist out there! perfect
- "Why should people invest in #SPO tokens? What are the benefits for investors in holding tokens ? What are the usage areas ?"
Eric Hung Nguyen - Spores:
The activation plans and early momentum should signal a company on the move. SPO tokens are on a buy back program every quarter where we use 25% of our token profit to lock tokens for 2 years. In Q3 we completed a $25k usd buy back. The idea being to create positive pressure on the price. In addition, we are designing a comprehensive loyalty reward program for SPO token holders that bring utility and benefits to token holders that will drive value for holding SPO tokens. And, we also have exclusive VIP access for hot NFT drops, where as Spores stakers get VIP access to our IGO, INO, accelerator program for IDOs, access to Metaverse phase 1 and phase 2.
Moving forward a specified % of future NFT drops will be purchasable with our SPO tokens. Spores token holders use SPO tokens to vote for platform governance, upgrade and development proposals, to utilize DeFi transactions (e.g. LP mining, staking, collateral lending), to monetize in associated benefits with NTFs (e.g. subscription for Elite Club to earn NFT airdrops, collectible rewards and presale access to exclusive NFT drops).

CATEGORY B - :
PART A - Twitter questions - :
Eddy@Animalia [Will Never DM]:
Thanks @erichungnguyen for answering all our questions . Excellent answers indeed
we will now move on to 5 questions from our community who input their questions through twitter
we will now choose 5 questions from here for you to answer
lets start with twitter question number 1 from our community
Question 1 - :
Can Spores Network completely remove the barriers and frictions caused by blockchain technical issues? Will artists, designers and game developers be able to efficiently monetize their work?
From @tomie_chana
Eric Hung Nguyen - SPORES - :
Blockchain technology is new and I am sure no single project can claim that they solved all the technical issues. However, our goal is to make artists and creators, game developers to be more effectively at monetising their works while allowing community to support their beloved creators/projects.
Question 2
I really like Projects that have Multi-Chain Features including yours. Tell us more details in which chain can we print and manage NFT? QCan we exchange items on multiple blockchains?
From @soppeez
Eric Hung Nguyen - Spores:
Currently we have adopted ETH and BSC, we will be adopting Polygon in the near future, and Cardano and Solana is also on our roadmap to be adopted next. You can check out our marketplaces at spores.app
Question 3 - :
In Spores’s whitepaper, I saw your that your team mentioned about the problems of NFT. The most outstanding feature is illiquidity & fragmentation. Can you explain about how Spores network solves the issue which seems to be very complicated?
From @muinlyreol
Eric Hung Nguyen - Spores - :
For us to solve those two problems, the first most important is to have an active NFT marketplace with many buyers and sellers, and in the next layer we can experiment with a lot of NFT/Defi protocols like NFT fragmentalisation and NFT ETFs that can overtime alleviate these issues.
Question 4 - :
My question just simple: Will Spores Network only focus on the Asian market? Are there any plans to expand to other continents?
From @kazi_machi
Eric Hung Nguyen - Spores - :
As discussed before, we are Asian-Inspired but with global reach and vision. We are already having a strong base in the US with consumers and IPs and Contents we are bringing, so that would be our next go to market. Regarding Gamefi, it will be SE Asia and India
nice, high crypto community based traffic countries!
Question 5
In how many ways will the SPO token incentivize NFT creators holders and liquidity providers across the ecosystem? Will SPO holders be able to generate income by staking?
From @AdcDavidtai1999
Eric Hung Nguyen - Spores - :
Yes you can check out our staking programms on https://staking.spores.app/ .
SPO token holders and staker are also granted exclusive access to our future launchpad deals of IGO/IDOs
PART B - QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMUNITY
Eddy@Animalia [Will Never DM]:
Alright that sums up 5 questions from twitter
we will now open up the group for questions from community.
QUESTION 1 - :
Can you walk us through the drop details for Animalia on your launchpad?
Eric Hung Nguyen - Spores - :
you can find full info regarding Animalia drop here: https://spores.medium.com/spores-x-animalia-founders-edition-nftitans-drop-details-a85efb56f0ca
QUESTION 2 - :
Tell us about the LOYALTY REWARD for holders of SPO. In an environment where most are selling, holders should be positively reinforced.
Eric Hung Nguyen - Spores - :
Hi Cleo, thanks for supporting us. We are unveiling the full Loyalty programm in January, so please stay tuned, we have spent quite a bit of time on it to make sure that the programm is comprehensive and rewarding for our loyalty community members.
Question 3 - :
What can you say about the future and use cases for NFTs?
Eric Hung Nguyen - Spores - :
NFTs for brands and corporations present an opportunity for direct engagement with their fans through loyalty programs, merchandising, and marketing. Brands and IP content creators now have a completely new way to monetize their unique experiences and offerings.
We are working on a ton of activations with brands: 1.With Kuruma we’re connecting with the top brands in tuner and drift racing to bring their fans into digital collectibles and vice versa. Imagine owning your own favorite drift car as a digital collectible and then one day being able to race that car in a metaverse game!
- We aim to have at least 2 IGO/INO/ IDO per month on our gamefi launchpad and we also incubate other games as well while developing our own metaverse.
Question 4 - :
Can you tell us some key benefits for SPO holder?
Eric Hung Nguyen - Spores - :
The activation plans and early momentum should signal a company on the move. SPO tokens are on a buy back program every quarter where we use 25% of our token profit to lock tokens for 2 years. In Q3 we completed a $25k usd buy back. The idea being to create positive pressure on the price. In addition, we are designing a comprehensive loyalty reward program for SPO token holders that bring utility and benefits to token holders that will drive value for holding SPO tokens. And, we also have exclusive VIP access for hot NFT drops, where as Spores stakers get VIP access to our IGO, INO, accelerator program for IDOs, access to Metaverse phase 1 and phase 2.
Moving forward a specified % of future NFT drops will be purchasable with our SPO tokens.

Question 5 - :
im sure the community loved it as well and will be hyped for our INO on spores during 3rd Jan 2022.
How will Spores Launchpad be different from others?
Eric Hung Nguyen - Spores - :
We have been working hard to ensure that we have the most user-friendly tier system requirements that are easy and straight-forward compared to other launchpadds. For example, we tend to not requires KYC. We also have a track record of success with launchpads. Our first two launchpad activaitons were for Netvrk land and transport. For each we sold $1.25M for each program ($2.5M total) within three days of drop. We also had tremendous success with Polkafantasy where we sold 90% of inventory withink hours of launching our sale. Our return customer percentage is fantastic and exit interviews tell us that its because of the seamless experience, wonderful customer support, and the opportunity to become a VIP - which is activated through previous program participation - allows for non-staking whitelist activation. And finally, our upcoming loyalty prgoram lauch will offer unique SPO token utility opportunities that you will not want to miss.
End of AMA.
It was an interesting AMA session full of knowledge and insight about Animalia. Spores_Network is known to always partner with high class platforms. This is another confirmation of it.
Animalia will conduct an INO ( Initial Nftians Offering). A better way to buy the NFTs cheaper is buy entering as a VIP. All you need to do is to buy SPO tokens on pancake and stake ( https://staking.spores.app/).
With great VIP tiers come the advantage of getting your mythical Toro and Ursa sooner, and the requirements as demonstrated below:
🔸 VIP 3: Top 25 SPO holders + top 5 LP stakers
🔸 VIP 2: Min 100k SPO staked
🔸 VIP 1: Min 50K SPO staked
With this you don't have any limit, no other requirements, no KYC needed, No Quota.
