This is a recap of our AMA event.
Part 2 Q&A: Meta Earth’s Basic Information
Q1: We are excited to introduce Bryan, the COO of Meta Earth. He is here with us today to answer all our questions. Let’s get this show on the road! Hi, Bryan! Hope you’re having a great day. Could you please tell us a little bit about yourself?
A: I’ve spent 27 years immersed in the tech and finance world, honing my skills as an executive with a keen focus on digital assets and the web3 space. My expertise spans a wide array of segments, from financial institutions to VCs, hedge funds, VASPs, asset managers, derivatives, and both industrial and corporate sectors.
My passion lies deeply rooted in the world of Bitcoin, institutional digital assets, and the broader ecosystem encompassing interoperability, the freedom of money, DLT, blockchain, and DeFi. I’m fascinated by the transformative potential of Internet of Value (IoV) technologies. These game-changing innovations seem destined to redefine our future, offering unprecedented freedom in how we manage time, energy, and finances.
This journey has been more than just a career; it’s been a voyage of discovery and innovation, where I’ve had the chance to contribute to the shaping of a new financial paradigm.
Q2: Could you give us an introduction to Meta Earth?
A: The modular architecture of ME Network will enable the network to have better performance than any other blockchain. Meta Earth natively builds an on-chain DID protocol, ME ID Protocol, on the Network, powered by KYC. This system not only protects user privacy data well, supports all traditional industry chain trading scenarios that require real identity checks but also better empowers individuals themselves. Each person will truly have a sovereign identity that mirrors reality.
Furthermore, Meta Earth has defined an equitable governance and economic mechanism where one ME ID corresponds to one vote, and every ME ID user can unconditionally receive MEC rewards distributed by the Network as income protection every day.
You will find that all protocols, mechanisms, or applications launched by Meta Earth are designed to make every individual happier and the ecosystem more sustainable.
Q3: Meta Earth sounds like it’s related to Metaverse infrastructure. Why is the modular public blockchain called “Meta Earth”?
A: We believe such a splendid Earth space will inevitably be the source of the future digital world, or the origin of the future, hence we named this dream Meta Earth.
In realizing this dream, Meta Earth first needs to construct a new, high-performance decentralized value foundational network, which I mentioned earlier when introducing Meta Earth, and this is the public blockchain network everyone is familiar with.
We plan to build the ME ID Protocol on the modular ME Network to empower real assets, promote digital upgrades in more countries and regions through the promotion of national and regional nodes, and then use AI technology to drive the construction of a more trustworthy and intelligent ME Space virtual social space. In the future, there might be a new parallel universe, and many wonderful new things will emerge on Meta Earth.
Q4: What is the vision of Meta Earth? How should we understand it?
A: The vision of Meta Earth is to promote human happiness and ecological sustainability.
1. In Meta Earth, everyone fully enjoys their sovereignty, with data and assets completely under their control.
2. The operational governance mechanism of Meta Earth is entirely egalitarian, where everyone’s voting rights and rights to earnings are the same, irrespective of wealth.
3. Every resident of Meta Earth can receive staking rewards distributed by the network daily, which will serve as a basic income guarantee for living.
4. The ME ID Protocol supporting KYC in various countries and regions will effectively prevent fraudulent activities, protecting everyone’s asset security.
5. Meta Earth, based on the ME Network blockchain technology, will spare no effort to support all projects beneficial to carbon economy development, such as enabling carbon asset transactions on blockchain, and rewarding low-carbon behaviors.
Q5: Could you share with us any technical highlights that Meta Earth employs to achieve this grand vision?
A: 1. Modular architecture — High performance, unlimited scalability, more flexibility
2. MBC based on IBC — Cross-chain interoperability, stronger interoperability
3. One-stop ME-SDK — Low development costs and barriers
4. Native DID system — Providing native real-world identity authentication for the on-chain ecosystem with privacy protection
5. Decentralized sequencer network — Lower cost, higher efficiency, more security
Q6: Modularization is set to be the hottest narrative in blockchain in the coming years, with projects like Celestia and Dymension emerging recently. Could you tell us what differentiates Meta Earth from Celestia and Dymension?
A: Celestia serves as the Data Availability (DA) layer without a main chain for settlement, offering DA services externally. Dymension, instead of building a DA layer, utilizes Celestia for its DA layer. The Dymension-Hub acts as the settlement layer, with Rollups connecting to the Dymension-Hub functioning as the execution layer.
ME Network, on the other hand, constructs its own DA layer, uses the ME-Hub as the settlement layer, and further connects to the execution layer through Rollups.
Additionally, to better empower RWA and the Web3.0 upgrade of more traditional industries, ME Network natively builds an on-chain identity system enabled by KYC, facilitating the use of blockchain applications that require real identity verification in the future.
Q7: Could you disclose the roadmap for significant events of Meta Earth?
A: ME Network’s Alpha testnet was officially launched on June 5, 2023. This year, on April 17, we will hold our first ME Network v1.0 launch event in Dubai and simultaneously kick off the “Explorer Tour” Public Testing Event. We are so excited about this event, to bring all our hard work to the public.
Part 3 Q&A: Bryan’s Personal Journey and Perspectives
Next, we will give the floor to our early supporters. Everyone is encouraged to ask questions and seize this rare opportunity to have a direct conversation with Bryan. We will randomly select 3 lucky questioners to each receive a reward of $10 USDT. The rewards will be distributed within 7 working days after the event concludes.
Q1: I’m quite interested in Bryan’s personal journey and would like to ask why you transitioned from the traditional fintech sector to the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry?
A: Embarking on a journey from traditional fintech to the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry was a transition driven by my fascination with the revolutionary potential these technologies held. In traditional fintech, I witnessed firsthand the power of technology to streamline and enhance financial services, making them more accessible and efficient. However, as I delved deeper into the principles of blockchain and the dynamics of cryptocurrencies, I was captivated by the profound level of innovation and transformation they promised.
This transition was also motivated by a personal commitment to being at the forefront of technological innovation and contributing to the shaping of a future where financial systems are more open, equitable, and aligned with the needs of a global digital society. The dynamic, rapidly evolving landscape of blockchain and cryptocurrencies offered a unique opportunity to be part of a community pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, challenging the status quo, and building the foundations of a new digital age.
Q2: Could you introduce the background team of Meta Earth?
A: Meta Earth boasts a team whose expertise spans both traditional and digital finance, drawing from the upper echelons of our industry’s leading companies as well as the foundational pillars of the traditional financial system. Our members are seasoned professionals in critical areas that underpin the development of Meta Earth, ensuring a robust foundation for our initiatives. Currently, ME Labs already has dozens of senior technical engineers from the cryptocurrency field, hailing from various countries around the globe.
Moreover, our team’s diversity extends beyond professional background into a rich tapestry of cultures, endowing us with a broad perspective on the myriad needs and contexts around the globe. This multicultural makeup doesn’t just add depth to our understanding — it significantly enriches our project’s mission, allowing us to create solutions that resonate on a truly global scale.
Q3: With Bitcoin surpassing the $70,000 mark and various sectors experiencing an uptrend, FOMO is widespread. What trends do you think the Web3 industry will follow next? What role might Meta Earth play in it?
A: Although BTC just dropped below 63K a bit ago, regardless of the price dip over the last hours, I still hold firm on my answer.
For the Web3 industry, I believe we are entering a phase of accelerated development, where technological innovation and the influx of new users will be key drivers for the next boom in this field. With the maturation of technology and the emergence of more practical applications, we expect to see a greater focus on projects that prioritize privacy protection, data sovereignty, and decentralization achieve success.
Meta Earth is confident in becoming an important participant and even a catalyst in this trend. Following our established technological roadmap, Meta Earth will continuously focus on supporting the Web3 upgrade of traditional industries, empowering RWA, and concentrating on promoting user engagement and expanding network adoption.
