Dear KuCoin Users,
Time: December 22, 2021, 11:00-11:56 (UTC)
KuCoin hosted an AMA (Ask-Me-Anything) session with the NewsCrypto team in the KuCoin Exchange Group.
Project Introduction
NewsCrypto is an all-in-one crypto ecosystem that is primarily focused on education and trading, giving both beginners and expert traders alike everything they need to step into the world of crypto and take their skills to the next level. Recently, the project has expanded to copy trading, providing novel solutions for DeFi in partnership with different protocols and development-focused projects, as well as the NewsCryptoVerse, an immersive digital space for crypto traders and educators, which is NewsCrypto’s most ambitious development yet. Throughout these different avenues of development, NewsCrypto’s mission is to provide the perfect starting point for beginner traders as well as a comprehensive ecosystem for crypto experts, offering everything that any crypto user needs in one place.

Q&A from KuCoin
Q: What is NewsCryptoVerse and the main idea behind the concept? Please tell us more about the partnership with Enjin.
Luka: NewsCryptoVerse will be a new form of virtual reality that will provide traders with informational, educational resources.
We decided to develop our own metaverse (NewsCryptoVerse) in order to enable our users to explore the advantages of this technology and bring our ecosystem to an immersive VR setting.
NewsCryptoVerse will be developed together with Enjin on Efinity.
The main (currently announced) products will include:
VIRTUAL OFFICE
A personalized working space where users can build their own custom virtual office, determine the items they want to use and the tools they need to trade crypto successfully, and interact with other users within NewsCryptoVerse.
DIGITAL CLASSROOMS
A virtual space where users can enroll in the NewsCrypto Academy, attend courses, webinars, workshops, and organize or attend 1-on-1 live sessions.
TRADING SIMULATOR
A customizable and completely immersive trading environment that gives users the opportunity to test and optimize trading strategies as well as to discuss them with other traders.
and lastly
NFT MARKETPLACE AND BATTLEFIELD
A place where individuals can create, sell and exchange their digital assets such as collectible NFTs or visual assets, like trading strategies, blueprints, or images and participate in Play-to-Earn games.
Users will be able to design their own virtual office with access to everything crypto, meet, socialize and work with new virtual friends, access knowledge and information in an interactive way, and more.
You can read all about NewsCryptoVerse on Cointelegraph as well:
Q: Why did you decide to develop a copy trading product and how will users take advantage of it?
Aljaž: It was actually one of the recommendations from the community.
We are extremely excited for the Mercury platform, an all-in-one copy trading solution that will allow users to automatically copy trades from successful traders.
Simple to use, 100% hands-off approach to trading.
Users will have to create an account, choose which traders they want to copy and connect an API from their preferred exchange, that's it!
The best part about Mercury is that both the follower and the trader can make a profit.
Traders will just keep doing what they normally do, and if the trade makes their followers a profit, they will get a small fee from it.
Curious about which traders you will be able to copy the trades from?

Q: NWC is available on multiple chains. What are the future plans for the token?
Luka: True. NWC is currently available on Stellar, Ethereum, BSC and Polygon. NWC is originally based on Stellar, later we made it a cross-chain token to enable implementations in different protocols.
We aim to introduce new utility cases with new products, especially DeFi and metaverse, and this will bring more chains, starting of course with Efinity, which will be Enjin’s Polkadot parachain, but we’re open to more opportunities going forward.
Q: What is the advantage of the professional tier on the NewsCrypto platform?
Aljaž: Professional tier is an upgrade of the basic tier, some of the tools are available in both sections, however only in a limited version in the basic tier.
Pro tier enables access to the AI Sentiment tool, backtesting bot, on-chain analysis, MoonLines Pro, Arbitrage and complete FA and TA reports.
Here are some examples:

Q: NewsCrypto Stellar-Polygon bridge in partnership with Polygon and Chainlink integration was released last month. What is it all about?
Luka: Indeed, the bridge was developed in order to provide Polygon users the opportunity to have exposure to XLM without having to go to a different blockchain, as well as to give XLM holders a way to enter the world of Polygon-based DeFi.
When a user swaps their XLM tokens to Polygon, they receive wrapped XLM (wXLM) tokens, which can always be redeemed for the native version on Stellar via the bridge. Given that both chains have very low gas fees, the swap fee is only 1 XLM regardless of the wrapped amount.
The swap fee covers the transaction costs for the smart contract and the Chainlink Proof of Reserve data feed, which means that an independent Chainlink node monitors the balances on the swap wallets, enabling the best multi-faceted security solution possible.
All this, however, is only the first step of NewsCrypto’s development on Polygon and the associated Chainlink integrations. The team is already hard at work on an innovative DeFi protocol of our own, so be sure to stay up to date on their social media pages!
Now for a better understanding of how the bridge works, we also prepared a video which you can see below:
Q: Please briefly explain what are the goals for the future?
Aljaž: 2021 is slowly coming to an end and we are super satisfied with the progress and development at NewsCrypto.

Free-Ask from KuCoin Community

1. 20% of each membership transaction from the platform is permanently burned.
2. NewsCrypto burns tokens at significant development activities and releases.
Q: Can you list 1-3 killer features of your project that make it ahead of its competitors? What is the competitive advantage your platform has that you feel most confident about?
Luka: Sure, the first killer feature I would mention is our AI price prediction bot. As you can see in the first part of the AMA, the bot reads tweets and news and predicts price movements for over 7 different assets.
The second feature I would highlight is Moonlines. We have an AI system that draws historical resistance and support lines and helps you spot key levels.
The third feature I would highlight is the "Unchained Education," which is basically a page where top analysts share their knowledge for free.
Q: How does the “Unchained Education” system presented on the NewsCrypto website work?
Aljaž: Unchained Education is a place where educators and crypto traders meet in order to exchange knowledge.
It is available completely for free for everyone. You can choose between text or video content.

Luka: There will always be a need for education. In order to achieve mass adoption, we need to educate the masses. There are thousands of users that enter the crypto world every day, and they all seek knowledge and tools that will help them on their way. The knowledge and tools that we provide.
Imagine where the crypto industry will be in 5 years. Sooner or later, everyone will own crypto, and everyone will need to educate themselves about it. Here is where the NEED for NewsCrypto comes in.
