1. Can you briefly describe what Minnapad is? We would like to know more about it and how it works.
(Nishi)Minnapad brings legendary Japanese IP makers such as Mega Man, Tekken, Street Fighter, Sonic and Yu-Gi-Oh into the web3 for providing a new Create-to-Earn space by forming DAOs where anyone can join to create and own competitive IPs with them.We launch a DAO based on a legend’s new idea and invite participants who love to cowork with the legend for creating anime, comics and games.
2. We’ve read your Manifesto on the website, can you tell us more about the project’s mission and values?
(Nishi)
Mission: To make fans of entertainment happier and more connected by sharing great times.
We believe entertainments must make people happier but that haven’t done yet. The world is still filled with conflict. According to a 75-Year study by Harvard University, happiness is produced by connecting with the people around you. What’s most important, isn’t the number of friends you have, but the quality of your relationship with those closest to you. We recognize that there are still challenges to overcome between people and entertainment as well as barriers between people that share in entertainment. Our purpose is to overcome these challenges and break thought these barriers to better connect fans of entertainment and make them happier.
Vision: To become the next Disney in the web3 space.
We would like to have theme parks and towns both on the earth and online spaces.
3. As seen on the website, Minnapad is focused on DAO Launchpad. Can you tell us why you focus on this niche only?
(Nishi)
We will focus on making our IPs bigger at first. Speaking of a form of a DAO, that is totally new entertainment where DAO members can create and own a new IP with our legends. And we believe the members must become the big fan of the IPs. Once we’ve got great IPs, we can move forward to the next stage as you can see, you can do anything with Mickey Mouse.
4. There are several competitors for Minnapad on the GameFi market, what makes you different?
(Nishi)
We create anime and comic based on a new idea with the legends, not only games. That is a big different. But speaking of gaming, we might be able to collaborate with other GameFi projects in several way - we license our IPs to the GameFi projects or we use their game engine.
5. Tell us more about Create-to-Earn? How would this benefits you clients & projects?
(Nishi)
We offer 2 types of opportunities if you got a DAO membership. First, you might be able to get a paid job in the DAO in any type of activities like programing, writing, art designing and marketing. But you know that will be voted by the DAO members. Second, the DAO members have a chance get rewards from the DAO treasury that are basically earned by contents like comics, anime and games.
6. What’s the token of Minnapad? Our community would love to know more about it 🤔
(Nishi)
$MINNA token have multiple benefits.
1. Early access to new DAO projects with some discounts
2. You can get some rewards from content revenues that are generated by DAOs
3. Ultimate benefits in a space where you can gather all characters from DAOs. Not sure that would be a Metaverse space or not for now though.
7. What marketing initiatives are you working on aside of AMAs and Twitter Spaces, and how you plan to build awareness for Minnapad?
(Nishi)
We will reach out to legends’ fans and communities via their social media I believe they are basically in the web2. Speaking of the web3, we cowork with 10 influencers for now. And we will partner with web3 projects that have communities near future.
8. I can conclude Minnapad has great & unique product with usecase, Tell us about your prominent active DAOs.
(Nishi)
We’ve already announced 2 legends’ DAO – Keiji Inafune the producer of Mega Man series and Seiichi Ishii, a director of Tekken 1 and 2 and we will have the 2 DAOs membership presale next month. Only 1,000 whitelist spots are available on each DAO. We would like to discuss with presale members about DAO regulations and product roadmap. The early members can work closely with Inafune-san and Ishii-san and they actually expect members new idea! After that, we are going to have early birds in August.
9. Usually investors and community members are well influenced by Project’s partners, can you tell us about your prominent current and upcoming partnership? 👀
(Nishi)
We’ve partnered with a web3 accelerator called DPAD and Coinstore, and been discussing with several CEXs, game guilds and chains. We are about to sign with a market maker.
10. We’ve hosted tons of Launchpads DAO Projects but most of them lags at token price as it’s inflationary, have you planned to make your coin deflationary?
(Nishi)
Not yet to be honest as we are planning to list our token in December so it’s still early to discuss and we have been focusing on the membership presale. But as I said before, we are about to sign with a market maker so we will definitely discuss with them about the market strategy all the time.
