Q1 from Telegram User @Asela1112
According to YouClout Roadmap, you hope to launch custom NFT avatars for all YouClout users. I want to know, Can we create our own avatars or Will your team provide the avatars for users?

Please give us a sneak peek about this upcoming Custom NFTA avatar event in Q1–2022?
Alexandru Mincu: I’ll take this one
Alexandru Mincu: So the custom avatars will be designed in an editor or generated with our AI from other photos users upload. The avatars will be NFTs so will be sold on the platform and we’ll also have a verified ownership feature like Twitter.
Alexandru Mincu: No fee will be incurred for generating an avatar, just like no fee is incurred for minting any NFT on the platform.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: What tools do you offer users?
Alexandru Mincu A custom editor based on a generative neural network that users can tweak to generate designs to their own liking.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: And… Please give us a sneak peek about this upcoming Custom NFTA avatar event in Q1–2022??? ©

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thanks for your answers
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Ready to proceed to the next question?
Awesome..
Alexandru Mincu:
Q2 from Telegram User @Pavel_Jarosh
Please correct me if I’m wrong but the Y-tokens that can be created by influencers are planned to become the main product on your marketplace, same as their content (video, presentantions) sold as NFT. Are you planning to add a portion of free NFTs or content to your marketplace? In order to sell such products your influencers should be someone with a name in crypto. Have you already partnered with any personality? Thank you!
Vlad | CEO YouClout |: Sure, we are going to start a NDO
Vlad | CEO YouClout |: and offer to our Community different NFT project that we and the community find viable !
Alexandru Mincu: The main influences will decide what content they want to release to the public, for free of with a charge in their Y-Token
Vlad | CEO YouClout |: We are going to make votes on which to choose!
Oh great.. by the way can you share your Tokenomics with us
Alexandru Mincu: It’s public on the website, anyone can access it from the Pitch Deck button
Alexandru Mincu: Or here’s the link: https://youclout.com/youclout.pdf
Thank you for sharing..
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thanks for your answers
Do you want to add anything or can we proceed?
Alexandru Mincu:
Here, got it for easy access
Alexandru Mincu We can proceed
Q3 from Telegram User @MudaraSilva
I notice that there is a 50% discount on NFT purchases for those who have memberships tokens. To be eligible for this discount, what is the minimum number of tokens that a buyer should hold? When you offer this discount for buyers, do creators get the full payment? Does YouClout give the reduced 50% to the creator? Is it profitable for you to give this type of considerable discount to encourage users to hold tokens? In a similar manner, is there a mechanism for sellers to get bonus earnings by holding membership tokens?
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Looks good
Alexandru Mincu: The discount is offered to the members who own membership Y-Tokens for each creator, each creator can set the number of tokens needed to get the discount. This way they create their own tokeonomics.
Vlad | CEO YouClout |: The minimum hold amount is 250$ in YouClout token.So the fees on YouClout are shared as following :
25%?—?Goes to revenue
25% is Burned out of the team tokens until 75% of the team tokens are burned
50%?—?Goes to the seller as a reward for using our platform
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Hmm .. that’s generous enough for platform users…
Oh I see.. but can the creator also adjust the discount percentage?
Vlad | CEO YouClout |: Yes, he can.
Alexandru Mincu: Yes they’re able to do that for their Y-Token. Vlad also answered how the main YCT discounts work.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Do your users need to pass KYC?
Vlad | CEO YouClout No, it is fully decentralised, people just need to connect with their wallet.
Thank you for your answers
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thanks for great answers
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Ready to proceed to the next question?
Vlad | CEO YouClout |:
Q4 From Telegram user @Rotoxy
My questions are about the VIP lounge. Firstly, what criteria do you use to rank a user as an influencer? Is it their celebrity status, their large followership on othet social media platforms or activity engagements on Youclout or their acquisition of particular amount of $YCT token?
What are the types of activities that can take place in the VIP lounge? What level of control does the influencer who created the VIP lounge has on the community activities? Are there taxes on activities in a VIP lounge? Who pays the tax, the influencer or the VIP lounge members?
Lastly, does the members in the VIP lounge get rewards or it is a case of “influencer takes it all”?
Alexandru Mincu: The criteria is mixed right now, since our platform was just launched at the IDO we don’t have concludent data yet only on YouClout, for that reason we need to include other social networking channels as well.
Alexandru Mincu: The VIP lounge is designed to be a private space shared between the influencer and their most devoted followers, they are the ones setting the bar on how it’s monetized, not us. We provide them with the tools so they can interact with their followers
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Btw, what were you guided by when building the metaverse on Cardano?
Alexandru Mincu: Cardano has a lot of potential and we belive it will be one of the main platforms people use in a few years
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: and with which influencers do you already have agreements?
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Absolutely agree
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: you confirm my opinion
Alexandru Mincu: I don’t know if we can disclose this yet. @Oldschoolchap ?
Vlad | CEO YouClout |: No, sadly we cannot disclose that yet, it will be like a festival banner, that i can assure you!
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Little hints
Can’t wait for this..
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: then promise us to share it as soon as possible
Vlad | CEO YouClout |: We promise that Satoshi community will be the first one to receive the news when we share it!
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thanks for honest answers
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Let’s proceed to the next question
Vlad | CEO YouClout |:
Q5 from Telegram User @Cheriemike
Going through your content i noticed that creators are being rewarded with “Influencer Badges”,What is essence of those badges?Will the badges serve as a means of identify from platforms who pose as YouClout?Are the badges for every one or its just for some selected few?Is there any charges fee associated with one being entitled to a badge?Can we have a sneak peak of those or is it private and will later be given to those who deserve it? Thanks
Alexandru Mincu: Nice question
Vlad | CEO YouClout |:
Vlad | CEO YouClout |: nice question
Vlad | CEO YouClout |: alex please take it
Vlad | CEO YouClout |: So, the badges will be awarded to all Influencers
Alexandru Mincu: The badges are awarded based on how influences or users use the platform, we’re targeting specific use cases like posting at least once a day for a whole week, etc. And ones that are harder to get like top sales, best NFT of the month, etc
Alexandru Mincu: All those badges are also NFTs so they can be monetized if people want to do that.
Alexandru Mincu: They will open certain doors that are only available to the holders
Great.. apart from this does getting the badge come with other benefits?
Vlad | CEO YouClout |: They can be transformed in an Unique NFT for each influencer, but that will come along the way
Alexandru Mincu: It will also depend a lot on the specific badge, some will have other interesting properties
Yeah makes more sense… Overall this is an Impressive feature I must say
Ready for the last Question from this part?
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: can you even imagine how I want to see these tik-tok style NFTs… do you have something to satisfy my curiosity
Alexandru Mincu: The platform is continously being developed so new things pop up almost every day
Vlad | CEO YouClout |: @GoldRocket27 Sure, you can enter on your mobile
Vlad | CEO YouClout |: https://app.youclout.com
Vlad | CEO YouClout |: it is already a working product

Within the periods of Q4 2021 to Q1 2022, YouClout hopes run its first land offering, conduct it’s first governance vote on land rights, as well as buying land in metaverses where YouClout events will be held. Even as we anticipate the launch of these memorable events, can you kindly shed some light on the features and importance of each, what are land owners and users expected to enjoy from these launches? Also, talking on your first governance vote on land rights planned within this quater, what should we expect? Can you let us know the overall structure and functions of governance team?
Vlad | CEO YouClout |: Based on where their land is and the interest in it they can rent it for ads/events on the platform or build their own land in Q2/2022
Alexandru Mincu: The governance on each land will be based on the Y-Token holders for that land
Alexandru Mincu: This way anyone. Influencer or not can control what happens on the platform
Alexandru Mincu: On some lands the creator will have control power. Others will be community owned
Will this be the choice of the creator to give the community power over their land?
Alexandru Mincu: We have multiple uses for that land that are being developed. From events to ads to music, and may more
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: remind me please where can we buy your Y-tokens?
Alexandru Mincu: The main token of the platform is already like on pankake swap
