Quick snapshot on who we are and some of the high-level:

Q: Can you describe how PlayZap works, the onboarding process, and how players can start playing?

Abhishek: PlayZap is a mobile gaming app on Play Store & App Store for free download. Onboarding is super simple. Let me describe it stepwise for easy understanding.

Create your account.

Once you launch the app, you can play as a guest or log in using Google or Apple (depending on which phone you use). Once logged in, we create a PlayZap wallet in the background where all your assets will be securely stored.

Select your avatar & pick your favorite game.

You will be directed to select your avatar, choose your game (we got 9 games live on our platform already), and head towards playing your first practice match to learn the gameplay & scoring.

Unlock premium tournaments & start earning.

Once the practice match ends, you will unlock free and premium tournaments to win $PZP and other partner tokens.

It is that simple. It takes about 10s to launch and play your first game. We also have a quick walkthrough video of the PlayZap platform that would help you understand better.

Q: What is the unique gameplay of PlayZap? How can users benefit from it?

Abhishek: PlayZap is a gaming arena that brings fun, polished gameplay experience in a skill-based competitive gaming format to play against other players to compete & win prizes. A cross-platform mobile-focused gaming app makes it accessible for our players to play anytime, anywhere. So if you have 10 minutes to kill, go to PlayZap, play some cool games, and earn.

Some of the key components of our core game loop are:

Free to Play. Skill to Earn

Multi-Gaming APP (one app, many games)

High-quality, fun casual games with a dynamic level system and engaging loop. You can play your favorite games like 8 ball pool, Solitaire, Block Puzzle, 21 Card, and match master. All in one app!

Online competitive formats, i.e., live tournaments, group & PvP matches

In-built PlayZap wallet to offer a seamless deposit & withdrawal system

Q: How can players buy PZP tokens, + what are their use cases?

Abhishek: The $PZP is a BEP-20/KRC20 utility token to power the PlayZap ecosystem and unlock the game economy's potential. The $PZP token enables a 'Free-to-Play, Skill-to-Earn' social skill-based gaming platform where players discover and compete in various competitive tournaments to win native tokens.

Here is the snapshot to explain the core use case of $PZP in the gaming ecosystem:

The $PZP token is designed to sustain the overall flow within the ecosystem. All the revenue and commission will be reinvested into the player's liquidity, rewards & incentive, driving the platform's growth. We encourage you to read more about the $PZP token in our whitepaper. $PZP is live today on KuCoin. Super proud moment for all of us.

Q: Can you share if you have any other events regarding it?

Abhishek: There are some super interesting running at the moment. We have this amazing giveaway for our KuCoin community. In addition to that, we will have the staking program live! You can stake your PZP to earn amazing APY. We also have an in-game contest in the app to win $20k worth of PZP and KCS tokens.

Q: How can players learn more about PlayZap?

Free-Ask from KuCoin Community

Q: Can you tell us the motivations and benefits for investors to hold your token long-term?

Abhishek: Two important key parameters to hold $pzp and become co-owner:

  1. There are 3B gamers in the world. The gaming market size is massive 200B$, with Mobile gaming being 60% of it. In comparison, Web3 gaming is quite small and expected to grow fast in the coming year so we have a huge growth opportunity.
  2. We are hardcore game professionals who have built games for over15 years in the web2 space. We are committed and super passionate about what we do.

If you believe in these two key elements, you will be a safe hand in the long term.

Q: What other way will you make your project more popular?

Abhishek: AMA allows us to discuss the project and reach our audience. We have a lot of activities going on that are oriented towards both organics (socials and community) and acquiring the right audience for our project. You will see a lot of big partnership announcements in the next few days or weeks.

Q: What types of games are currently available on PlayZap's platform?

Abhishek: We got 9 games live on the platform. 1 new game is launching in a few weeks, so that would make 10 games all in one app.

Q: What is your strategy to attract new users and investors to your platform and keep them long-term?

Abhishek: It's just the beginning of our long-term journey. Today we hit the special milestones of launching our native token live. In the short term, we have a lot of features and new content coming to the product that will improve the event. In addition, we will launch utility-focused NFTs and some new interesting ways to earn PZP. We will also open our publishing program for third-party game developers to build games with us.

Q: How many team members do you have?

Abhishek: We are a team of 20+ members, pretty much a full stack development team from programming, art, marketing, blockchain, security and community. We have been working on this project for over 2 years so we learned the hard way.
