AMA with Despace
Introduction with Despace
May Gusta:
Q1. Can you tell us about DeSpace and the goals that led to the creation?
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
DeSpace is a DeFI & NFT Ecosystem. We are bringing the much needed solution of aggregation to the Crypto world. All your DeFi and NFT services in one easy to use interface. Users will be incentivized by earning DES coins when completing transactions while you aggregate across multiple crypto platforms. With our cross-chain capabilities, users will be able to trade assets across many different blockchains allowing them to utilize only one platform as opposed to multiple. There’s many more features to discuss so I strongly recommend your community reading our SpacePaper to divulge into more details.
i goal that led to creation was seeing the segregation of blockchains, dapps, NFTs etc and wanting them to all be integrated in one simple easy to use interface
May Gusta:
This is great! 👏🏼
Q2. What innovative solution is DeSpace bringing to topple its competitors with similar offerings?
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
The main features that distinguish DeSpace from its competitors is having our own blockchain and being able to aggregate with any DeFi service, Dapp, Blockchain and NFT platform. We are simplifying the space for the user and rewarding them in the form of $DES at the same time just for using our platform.
There are competitors to each of our product streams, but no project does what we aim to do, it can easily be seen if you check out our one pager
All these services in one platform, which is why we are call the one stop shop for DeFi and NFTs
May Gusta:
I see why too 😁
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
haha yes, we offer alot, and can take some time to grasp what we are aiming to achieve here
May Gusta:
Hopefully, this interview will shed a lot of light on what DeSpace has to offer!
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
i hope so too 🙂
yes definitely
May Gusta:
Q3. Can you tell us about your NFT and DeFi Aggregators?
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
As an NFT aggregator platform, users will also be able to access other NFT platforms like Opensea, Decentraland, rarible etc right on DeSpace’s NFT portal and when they execute transactions on those platforms using the interface, they will mine DES coins in the process. The goal here is to help reduce the user journey when trying to access multiple NFT platforms and also to save users on transaction costs and fees in the form of DES coin mining.
DeSpace’s DeFi aggregator platform will operate similarly to the NFT aggregator in terms of DEX and liquidity protocol aggregation. Here, DeSpace will unify as many DEXes and LPs as possible to simplify the user journey while allowing users to earn DES coins when they either trade or provide liquidity to the DeSpace DEX, or any of the aggregated DEXs and LP’s.
In a nutshell, DeSpace’s DeFi and NFT aggregator will unify DeFi and NFT protocols into one website to make it easier for users to navigate the world of DeFi and NFT protocols while they mine DES coins as compensation for the time and fees spent while navigating and interacting with DeFi and NFTs.
May Gusta:
Very good!
I'm interested in this next question.
Q4. Could you briefly talk about $DES and its utilities?
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
thats great 🙂 and i will be happy to explain about our native token DES
$DES will be used for incentivizing AMM providers on DeSwap. Mining rewards for those users completing transactions on our platform, or on a 3rd party service via our platform. Staking rewards for those HODLERS that wish to hold our beloved token to earn passive income. Our token will be able to be used to buy NFTs on our marketplace and used for loans on DeLend. On the tokenomics side of things our max supply is 100,000,000 DES, with an initial marketcap on launch of only $647K! And initial circulating supply of 2,415,417 DES.
May Gusta:
So many incentives! That's great!
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
yes i think it is important to have incentives and use cases for a project token
creates holders and naturally increases the price over time
May Gusta:
I agree.
Are you running any giveaways or airdrops as a marketing strategy?
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
we ran an airdrop previously as part of a marketing campaign
May Gusta:
That's great!
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
yes it did gain alot of traction as it was hosted on coinmarketcap
May Gusta:
Whoa! That's a huge feat!
Congratulations 🥳
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
our team is well connected 😉
May Gusta:
Aha! 😉
Last question for this segment.
Q5. What major news should we still look forward to from DeSpace by the end of the year?
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
there is alot happening from now until the end of the year
Currently we are expecting our testnet launch of our NFT PAD this month, so it is exciting times with alot of interest from our partner projects, as we will be hosting limited edition NFT collections for auction. We have built some great partnerships to date in our early stages with the likes of Polygon, MantraDAO, SpiderDAO, A2DAO and many others and some that shall be revealed shortly 😉 for the rest of 2021 we have our upcoming token launch on the 20th and 21st of Septembers across multiple launchpads DuckStarter, Pools and A2DAO. We will have more products to launch following our NFTpad by the end of the year 🔥🔥
May Gusta:
Great news!
Can't wait for these products to be up and running!
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
same here 👌
May Gusta:
Let's take some questions from our Twitter community!
Ready?
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
great idea, let's do it 👍
Community ask questions from Twitter
May Gusta:
Q1. How does DeSpace plan on stabilizing the up growth as been Being the most comprehensive DeFi aggregator,also allows users to interact with several DeFi protocols from a single web-interface, and mine DES coin when executing each DeFi and NFT transaction?
Twitter Username: @AbayomiNathani2
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
great question
Through the adoption of our platform we will see increased revenue that can be used for DES coin buy backs to help stabilize the price growth. Along with DES staking and DES loans that will encourage holders to keep their DES tokens to earn passive income. These combined with our ever growing ecosystem partners and marketing campaigns will see DES coin be one of the best investments in the future.
May Gusta:
Q2. One of the main features that distinguishes Despace from its competitors is having its own DECHAIN blockchain. What are the most distinctive characteristics of the Blockchain Dechain? What benefits does it offer? How is it different from blockchains like BSC or Ethereum?
Twitter Username: @jogamboa08
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
Our blockchain DeChain will be incredibly fast as we are leveraging the best tech solutions in the industry, We will be as fast as the likes of Polygon, possibly faster. Be a layer-2 blockchain we will be compatible with any other blockchain so that we are able to host all our users favourite DeFi and NFT products on our website. Our blockchain DeChain comprises DPoTS, which is a unique algorithm that matches the combination of Decentralized Proof of Transaction (this first layer of the algorithm allows anyone who execute valid transactions on the blockchain to mine DES) and Delegated Proof of Stake (here, those who hold and stake Des coin serves as the second layer algorithm that validates transactions being executed and forged at the DPoT layer, and in return the stakers earn DES coins for their effort).
Our algorithm is unique in the sense that it ensures decentralization, secure transactions, and an excellent incentivization system that accommodates everyone.
Unlike other known blockchains where only those who can afford to mine are able to mine. DeChain affords users the luxury of mining DES just by executing transactions via it, and those who can afford to stake to earn will also do so.
The above makes it a win-win situation for everyone within the Dechain ecosystem.
May Gusta:
Q3. DeSpace is a protocol that is closely linked with NFT's, observing the boom they have had lately, I want you to explain to me how OpenSea provides resources to DeSpace in the field of NFT's? How do you take advantage of this association?
Twitter Username: @AdrianAZG10
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
OpenSea will provide resources via our NFT aggregator platform, where users can access NFTs hosted on OpenSea as well as any other NFT marketplace, by accessing OpenSea via our platform the user will earn DES coin while completing transactions and buying/selling NFTs on OpenSea, this counteracts the fees associated with OpenSea and makes the process less costly for the user than if they bought and sold directly on OpenSea, so you can see that is just one advantage of many from using our platform.
May Gusta:
Absolutely love how detailed your answers are!
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
haha thanks, sorry if it is a bit much info to take in
May Gusta:
No, it's just perfect!
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
great 🙂
lets do it, just a reminder to members that they need to join our community to be able to participate in the live questions, i will be checking too 😉

Telegram Username: @Odion13
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
ok this one will be a big answer lol so be prepared
May Gusta:
*buckles seatbelt*
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
all of our products have begun construction, our NFT pad testnet is expected this month, with the rest to follow according to our roadmap, a simple breakdown of each product is as follows;
NFT and DeFi aggregators
- Trade NFTs from major marketplaces and access a range of DeFi services, all from a single interface
- Cross-chain interoperability makes it easier to find where your investment will work best
- No additional fees and DeSpace transaction rewards mean you earn every time you use DeSpace aggregators
NFTPad
- Mint, mine and win DeSpace NFTs in a gamified system
- Trade on DeSpace’s own auction site and earn greater transaction rewards
- Unlock extra rewards by staking DeSpace NFTs, or combine them to unlock greater rarity items
DeSwap
- Trade on DeSpace’s own decentralized exchange, with low fees and fast settlements
- Take control of your trades thanks to DeSpace’s cross-chain compatibility – users can swap on any supported chain
- Staking and LP rewards give competitive yields, and LPs for other exchanges can farm on DeSpace
DeLend
- Take advantage of the full power of DeFi with DeLend, our decentralized lending platform
- Stake DES or other supported collateral to receive stablecoins
- Dynamic interest rates encourage lending when demand is high, and encourage borrowing when demand is low
DeChain
- The beating heart of DeSpace, DeChain is our cross-chain Layer-2 solution.
- DeChain combines Delegated Proof of Stake and Decentralized Proof of Transaction (DPoTS) consensus methods to provide security, speed and high throughputs, as well as rewards for every transaction
May Gusta:
A minute for the community to digest
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
or 10 😂
May Gusta:
That should do it.
Q2. Despace’s native token is $ DES will be used to incentivize AMM providers in DESWAP. But what will be the real utility of the $ DES token within the Despace ecosystem? What are the characteristics of the $ DES token?
Telegram Username: @Lestmarisv13
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
to repeat earliers quesitons, along with incentivizing AMM providers on DeSwap. DES will be used for mining rewards for those users completing transactions on our platform, or on a 3rd party service via our platform. Staking rewards for those HODLERS that wish to hold our beloved token to earn passive income. Our token will be able to be used to buy NFTs on our marketplace and used for loans on DeLend.
our DES token will launch on BSC, ETH and MATIC, and will be tradeable to start on pancakeswap following our IDO on the 20th and 21st
May Gusta:
It's good you reiterated 😁
Looking forward to this one!
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
same here 🙂
i think pancakeswap is a good place to start with the low fees
May Gusta:
I agree!
Last website question.
Q3. As we know that Two of the most critical issues facing the NFTs industry are 1. NFTs are illiquid and difficult to sell to diffused markets, and 2. most NFTs lose value over time as they lack any real utility. Are you aware of these problems and how does Despace intends to...
Telegram Username: @Any20001
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
lets go
Great points, and DeSpace is well aware of the issues that NFT buyers/sellers face. A few ways DeSpace aims to combat the illiquidity of NFTs is by part of the overall value system being created at DeSpace Protocol, the DeSpace NFT platform takes NFTs that otherwise exist in isolated platforms on different chains and aggregates them into a single, user-friendly marketplace. This means that users no longer have to scour multiple platforms looking for the NFT they want as they can find the most popular marketplaces aggregated on DeSpace.
DeSpace’s own NFTs will hold value long-term as they provide extra utility in addition to being collectible. Thanks to integrations like Chainlink’s VRF, users will be able to farm, stake, purchase, and win DeSpace NFTs of varying rarity that can augment their DeFi experience in different ways. This extra utility means that the NFTs will have actual value instead of being speculatively priced, as a result of being able to mine DeSpace Protocol tokens.
May Gusta:

Live Questions answered by Despace
1)Temitope Awoyinka:
💫✨💫
Please can you give a detailed explanation about DESPACE unique blockchain algorithm:
- DECENTRALIZED PROOF OF TRANSACTION
- DECENTRALIZED PROOF OF STAKE
What are their functions, how do they aftect DESPACE owners and it's user positively. ???
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
.DPoTS is a unique algorithm that matches the combination of Decentralized Proof of Transaction (this first layer of the algorithm allows anyone who execute valid transactions on the blockchain to mine DES) and Delegated Proof of Stake (here, those who hold and stake Des coin serves as the second layer algorithm that validates transactions being executed and forged at the DPoT layer, and in return the stakers earn DES coins for their effort).

2)Jean Pierre Hernandez🛸👽:
Why DeSpace decided to build on the DeChain Blockchain, that is, what criteria did they take into account to reach the decision to trust this little-known Blockchain and not the most well-known and implemented as #BSC?
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
De-Chain is little known because we are building it. DeChain is our own blockchain layer 2 solution, custom built for our purpose so that we can achieve full interoperability between any blockchain
this also means our token is the native token of the blockchain we use and not dependent on ETH, BSC etc
as we all know the congestion that can occur with ETH
3)Lin Lin:
How do you keep your platform safe for users, and is your platform protected from hackers? And how do you manage if there's an attack on your platform, including the personal data of your platform's users? Is DeSpace ready for this?
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
We take security of our project seriously and is one of the reasons we are currently being audited and this is also why we have a dual algorithm to secure our blockchain. DPoTS is a unique algorithm that matches the combination of Decentralized Proof of Transaction (this first layer of the algorithm allows anyone who execute valid transactions on the blockchain to mine DES) and Delegated Proof of Stake (here, those who hold and stake Des coin serves as the second layer algorithm that validates transactions being executed and forged at the DPoT layer, and in return the stakers earn DES coins for their effort).
Our algorithm is unique in the sense that it ensures decentralization, secure transactions, and an excellent incentivization system that accommodates everyone.
The DeChain and DeSpace ecosystem will use a zero-knowledge (ZK) roll-up and employ a hashing feature. Users private keys would not exist on the chain but would be necessary to sign transactions. For cross-chain or multiple chain transactions, a user has to be a member of a layer-1 channel, and to participate in a channel, users have to provide a key, which only they know. This key would be different from the private key and will be either a seed phrase or a hexadecimal value. This would be used to verify against this channel. While the network isn’t aware of this key, using the ZK algorithm can verify that the user knows the secret key and is a member of that channel providing the user with a high level of security.
4) J Mags:
Being a DeFi aggregator means having a good Oracle service for its platform. What Oracle price feeding product does DeSpace uses? Will you be using third-party product in implementing Oracle in your platform? In the future, will you create your own version of Oracle price feed?
Andrew (Never DM First, Never Ask For Funds):
We have partnered with Chainlink for our Oracle service, but we will eventually have our own Oracle aggregator as well, By integrating Chainlink’s industry-leading decentralized oracle network, we will have access to a tamper-proof and auditable source of randomness needed for our innovative NFT platform. Ultimately this will create a more exciting, transparent, and fraud-proof user experience, as users can earn NFTs of varying rarity and with different functions in a fun, gamified way.
