Q&A from KuCoin to Cointel
Q: For those new to Cointel, could you give us a quick introduction?
Divit: Cointel started with a simple idea: crypto is exciting, but it’s also messy. There’s too much noise, scams everywhere, and it’s hard for new people to feel safe or even know where to start. We want to change that.
With Cointel, you don’t need to spend hours chasing news or reading endless charts. Our AI gives you quick forecasts, risk alerts, and market sentiment updates every few hours. On top of that, we’ve built gamified learning, easy daily briefs, and even an AI chatbot that helps beginners step by step.
Everything runs on $COLS, our utility token. It powers subscriptions, unlocks advanced AI tools, and rewards our community. Backed by Sugafam, Avalanche, and $7.4M in funding, we’re building this for the long term.
And right now, we’re running a $50K Bantr Leaderboard campaign to get creators and communities involved. It’s not just about rewards, it’s about building momentum together.
Q: You recently raised $7.4M and partnered with Avalanche as your home ecosystem. How does this strengthen Cointel’s position in the market?
Divit: That’s a great question. Fundraising and ecosystem alignment are really the foundation of how Cointel is growing.
On fundraising: earlier this year we closed a $7.4M round led by Sugafam and Avalanche. For us it wasn’t just about money, it was about finding partners who believe in our mission of making Web3 simple, safe and intelligent, and who bring more than just capital.
This gives us the resources to grow our team, scale our tech and accelerate the roadmap. But it also signals to the market that Cointel has credibility and is here to stay. In an industry where projects come and go fast, that matters a lot.
Avalanche is also core to who we are. It’s not just a blockchain we build on, it’s home. They’ve been very intentional about backing projects that bring real utility, and even highlighted how we’re delivering trustworthy intelligence to their ecosystem.
That alignment means $COLS doesn’t just power Cointel. It helps us provide deeper insights into Avalanche tokens, projects and on-chain activity. Plus, Avalanche’s speed and scalability give us the strong base layer we need to process massive amounts of data and deliver real-time AI analytics.
So when you put it together:
Funding gives us strength and credibility. Avalanche gives us a home and community.
That combination lets us scale with trust, innovation and real impact for the next 100 million users.
Q: Why do you believe intelligence and education are key to onboarding the next 100 million users into crypto?
Divit: I think this goes right to the heart of what Cointel is building. Crypto today is full of innovation. Billions of dollars move on-chain every day. New apps and tokens launch non-stop. But here’s the reality: most people are still on the sidelines. And the real barrier isn’t just regulation or infrastructure. It’s understanding. And trust.
For a newcomer, crypto looks messy. Thousands of tokens launching. Headlines 24/7. Social feeds full of hype and misinformation. How do you know what’s real? What’s safe? Most people give up before they even start. That’s why we believe the real unlocks are intelligence and education.
Intelligence is about clarity in real time. Not endless scrolling. Not guesswork.
Actionable signals. Forecasts, sentiment checks, risk alerts — updated every few hours.
It’s not about hype. It’s about giving people confidence. And we can’t ignore scams. In 2023 alone, $3B was lost to fraud. If the next 100 million users face the same traps, they won’t stay.
That’s why scam alerts and risk protection are built right into the learning journey. And that’s exactly what Cointel, powered by $COLS, is here to deliver.
Q: Can you walk us through the upcoming roadmap, what should users expect in Q4 2025 and early 2026?
Divit: 2025 into early 2026 is when everything we’ve built at Cointel really comes alive.
In Q4 2025, the big milestones are $COLS listings on KuCoin and MEXC, our brand-new website, and the launch of the subscription model. Free users get dashboards, news, and scam alerts, while Pro users unlock AI reports, whale alerts, and predictive analytics.
We’re also rolling out the Cointel Debit Card and Mobile App, turning daily spending into rewards and giving users the full Cointel experience in their pocket.
Early 2026 takes it further: our brokerage platform launched in Asia and upgraded AI predictions with a major tech partner.
In short — Q4 is foundation, 2026 is scale. Each step makes $COLS more useful and brings Web3 intelligence to everyone.
Q: Tell us about $COLS, what makes it different from other tokens and how is it tied to Cointel’s ecosystem?
Divit: Most tokens in crypto launch with hype but no real purpose. They fade out because there’s no utility, no foundation, no community.
$COLS is the opposite. It’s built as the currency of intelligence in Web3, powering everything inside Cointel.
Subscriptions run on COLS. Staking unlocks deeper access and perks. Our AI chatbot literally runs on COLS. Rewards flow back into the community. Holding COLS gives you status. And it’s interoperable across the Avalanche ecosystem.
In short: COLS isn’t about speculation. It’s built into real use cases — every time someone learns, trades, or seeks clarity in Web3. The more Cointel grows, the more COLS gets used.
And right now, with listings going live, we’re only at the beginning.
Q: What opportunities will KuCoin users have to engage with $COLS right after the listing?
Divit: Great question. Right after the KuCoin listing, users will have multiple ways to engage with $COLS.
First, the obvious one: trading. You’ll be able to buy and sell COLS directly on KuCoin from day one.
Second, KuCoin is running a fixed promotion campaign, which means users can stake $COLS for 220% APR rewards right out of the gate. It’s a way to earn while supporting the ecosystem early. You may check here.
And third, holding $COLS gives you a head start inside Cointel itself. You can use it for subscriptions, unlock perks through staking, and tap into the AI intelligence features as we roll them out.
So whether you’re here to trade, stake, or actually use $COLS inside the product, there are real opportunities to get involved from the very beginning.
Q: Finally, what’s your long-term vision for Cointel and how can the community get involved in this journey?
Divit: For us, the long-term vision is simple: make Web3 easy, safe, and actionable for the next 100 million users.
Right now, crypto feels overwhelming. Too much noise. Too many scams. A steep learning curve. We’re solving that by building what we call the intelligence layer of Web3, one trusted place where people can learn, trade, and grow with confidence.
That means:
Daily AI briefs instead of endless scrolling.
Real-time analytics so trading feels strategic, not emotional.
Gamified learning that makes crypto actually engaging.
And everyday utility, subscriptions, rewards, debit card use — all powered by $COLS.
But tech alone won’t get us there. The community is the engine. That’s why we’re rewarding creators, educators, and early adopters, and making sure every action, staking, sharing, contributing — feeds back into the $COLS economy.
So the big picture is clear: Cointel is the intelligence layer. $COLS is the fuel. The community drives it forward. That’s how we make Web3 simpler, safer, and ready for mass adoption.
Free-Ask from the KuCoin Community to Cointel
Q: Cointel positions itself as more than just another Web3 project — it aims to integrate intelligence, data, and decentralized value through the COLS token. In a crowded crypto space where projects often struggle to differentiate, how does Cointel plan to uniquely position COLS as a must-have asset for both retail investors and institutions?
Divit: Cointel isn’t just another project, we’re building the intelligence layer for Web3. Our focus is on making crypto safer, smarter, and actionable for the next 100M users.
$COLS sits at the center of that. It’s not just a token for trading, it powers real products — subscriptions, rewards, and access to AI-driven tools like predictive analytics, scam alerts, and reports.
For retail, $COLS makes advanced intelligence simple and rewarding. For institutions, it unlocks scalable insights and a transparent data layer they can rely on.
That mix of everyday utility + institutional value is how $COLS positions itself as a must-have in the market.
Q: How does Cointel plan to ensure interoperability with existing blockchains/standards, and what technical bridges or partnerships are in place or planned to achieve that?
Divit: Interoperability is a core focus for us. Cointel is built to plug into the wider Web3 ecosystem, not operate in isolation.
We’re designing $COLS and our intelligence tools to work across major chains — starting with Avalanche, where our token lives, and extending to others later.
On the technical side, we’re building API and data bridges that let our AI layer pull insights from multiple networks in real time.
And on partnerships, we’re already working with leading ecosystems and wallets to ensure smooth integration, with more cross-chain collaborations planned as we scale.
Q: How does the $COLS token fit into your ecosystem in terms of utility, staking, and rewards?
Divit: $COLS is the backbone of the Cointel ecosystem. It’s not just a token, it powers everything, from subscriptions to rewards.
Users can stake $COLS for access to premium tools like AI reports, predictive analytics, and whale alerts. At the same time, they earn rewards and unlock extra benefits inside the platform.
We also tie $COLS into gamified experiences, like our debit card and community challenges — where spending and participation generate COLS rewards.
So whether it’s access, staking, or rewards, $COLS is what keeps the entire Cointel engine running.
Q: Users can stake COLS to get discounts or unlock premium features. What are the benefits and risks of staking COLS (e.g., lock-ups, inflation, etc.), and what is the expected ROI for stakers?
Divit: Staking $COLS is designed to reward active users, not just speculators. By staking, users unlock discounts on subscriptions, access to premium AI features, and earn COLS rewards over time.
We keep the system flexible, no heavy lock-ups that trap users. Instead, staking tiers balance accessibility with incentives, so users can choose what fits them best.
As for ROI, it’s dynamic. Rewards come from platform growth, subscription demand, and community activity. We don’t promise fixed returns, but the model is built to grow alongside adoption while avoiding inflationary pressure.
In short: staking $COLS means more access, more rewards, and a stake in the ecosystem’s long-term growth.
Q: Cointel integrates sentiment from YouTube, news, community boards, on-chain metrics and technical indicators. How do you ensure the data feeding your AI is both accurate and timely, especially during high volatility or news surges?
Divit: Data quality is everything for us. We don’t rely on one source — we aggregate across YouTube, news, community boards, on-chain metrics, and technical indicators to balance the signal.
Our AI models are trained to filter noise, spot manipulation, and prioritize trusted sources. During volatile moments, updates refresh every few hours so users get the latest picture, not stale data.
It’s about combining speed with accuracy, wide coverage + smart filtering, so users can trust the insights even in fast-moving markets.
Q: With over $30 billion lost to crypto scams since 2021, how effective has Cointel's Scam Radar feature been in preventing user losses?
Divit: Scam prevention is one of Cointel’s biggest priorities. We built two features that directly protect users.
First, every token dashboard comes with a scam news feed. If there are active scams or warnings linked to that token, users see it right away, so they stay updated and don’t fall for fake projects.
Second, we have wallet flagging. If a user copy-pastes a suspicious wallet into our platform, Scam Radar checks it and flags it instantly if it’s known for scams.
Together, these features give users real-time protection, both at the token level and wallet level, helping them avoid the traps that have cost crypto investors billions.
Q: With mobile-first approach and real-time alerts, you aim to catch users wherever they are. How do the mobile apps’ features compare to the desktop/web platform, any trade-offs, or are all features available in mobile?
Divit: The mobile app is very easy to use and fully mobile-friendly. All the features you see on web, dashboards, alerts, AI tools, debit card tracking( upcoming) are also available on mobile.
Users can access everything anytime, anywhere, with the same smooth experience. No trade-offs, just a simpler way to carry Cointel in your pocket.
Q: Do you have any plan for burning $COLS tokens in the future to reduce the supply of the token and increase its investment attractiveness?
Divit: Right now our main focus is on building real utility and strong adoption for $COLS through subscriptions, rewards, and integrations. As the ecosystem grows, we’ll always explore mechanisms that strengthen long-term value for holders.
The priority is to make $COLS more useful day by day, and any future decisions around supply will align with that bigger vision.
Q: Your website metadata describes Cointel as a ‘Global Cryptocurrency Portal’. How do you plan to live up to that vision and ensure the platform truly serves a worldwide user base, not just specific regions?
Divit: We call Cointel a global portal because our goal is to serve every kind of crypto user, everywhere.
That means localizing content and education, starting with regions like Japan, Korea, and Turkey, while keeping the core platform accessible in English for worldwide users.
Our products are designed to work the same way across borders: scam alerts, AI insights, token dashboards, mobile apps, all available globally. What changes is how we adapt the content and style for each community.
So the vision is simple: one global platform, customized for local needs.
Q: Could you tell us more about the background and experience of the people behind the Cointel project? What makes them so well-suited to developing and managing this AI-based project?
Divit: Cointel is built by a team that mixes deep experience in both crypto and AI. Our founder and core leads have backgrounds in trading, blockchain development, data science, and global marketing.
We’ve worked across top exchanges, fintech startups, and AI-driven platforms, so we understand both the tech side and the user pain points.
What makes us well-suited is that combination: we’re not just building tools, we’ve lived the problems ourselves and know how to solve them at scale.
Q: What is your strongest advantage that you think will make your team leading the market?
Divit: Our strongest advantage is focus. While many projects chase hype, Cointel is laser-focused on solving real problems — scams, complexity, and lack of clear intelligence.
We combine AI, education, and community into one ecosystem, powered by $COLS. That mix of real utility + simplicity is what sets us apart and positions us to lead the market.
Q: What is Cointel's strategy to drive mass adoption for both the platform and $COLS token — especially among non-crypto natives or institutions?
Divit: Our strategy is to make crypto simple, safe, and rewarding, so even non-crypto natives feel comfortable starting. That’s why we focus on easy tools like scam alerts, YouTube summaries, and gamified products like the debit card.
For institutions, the value is in real-time AI intelligence and data they can trust, giving them clarity in a noisy market.
By serving both sides, beginners and pros, $COLS becomes the access key that ties it all together, driving mass adoption step by step.
Q: Where do you see COLS price and adoption 3–5 years from now?
Divit: We don’t make price forecasts, the market decides that. What we can control is adoption.
In 3–5 years, our goal is for $COLS to be used daily by millions, powering subscriptions, rewards, staking, and community activities.
As the ecosystem grows globally, adoption will be the real driver of long-term value.
Q: On which network or Where can I currently buy your token? And can you share with me any other networks name?
Divit: $COLS is currently live on Avalanche as our home network.
You can already trade it on tier-1 exchanges KuCoin, making it accessible for global users.
As we grow, we’ll explore expanding to other major networks, but Avalanche remains our base for speed, security, and scalability.
Q: How does Cointel leverage AI technology to provide real-time scam alerts and market trend analysis in the crypto space, and how do these features enhance the utility of the $COLS token?
Divit: Cointel’s AI scans news, YouTube, community chatter, on-chain data, and technical indicators in real time. This allows us to catch scams early and give users trend analysis that’s fresh, not outdated.
These insights are delivered through dashboards, alerts, and reports, and $COLS is the key to unlocking them. The more advanced the feature, the more $COLS utility it carries, from staking for Pro tools to earning rewards through engagement.
In short: AI powers the intelligence, $COLS powers the access. Together they make crypto safer and smarter for everyone.
