They shared detailed information and his opinions about the project GAGARIN LAUNCHPAD

SEGMENT 1 INTRODUCTION.

1. Could you Guys please provide a quick self-introduction for the community?

GAGARIN Team,
Yuri Gagarin is the name of the first man to go into space. However, it’s not just a name — it is the brand of the early space era. His famous words “Let’s go!” signaled the dawn of human space exploration. Gagarin personifies the cutting-edge technologies and the successful teamwork of numerous experts in many fields.

The Vostok spacecraft that Yuri Gagarin flew on became the first manned spacecraft in an endless line of future space projects. Yuri Gagarin paved the way into space for all mankind and that is exactly what we are doing in terms of attracting new users and projects to the crypto industry. And that is why our platform is named GAGARIN.

GAGARIN is a joint project of two companies — the Unreal Capital fund and the blockchain laboratory RSquad. RSquad has developed more than 70 solutions for different blockchains, and Unreal Capital has invested more than 5 M dollars in several blockchain projects.

GAGARIN is not just a launchpad. This is an automated decentralized platform that provides an opportunity for private investors to carry out their activities as efficiently as possible without being distracted by routine tasks, for experts to use their skills for their intended purpose and get new clients, and for projects to raise the necessary funds, find investors, partners and contractors, thus creating an open startup market.

The core of the GAGARIN team is made up of employees from Unreal Capital and RSquad and it is very experienced.
- I am, Roman Nguyen — CTO of GAGARIN and also CTO of RSquad. The next key members are:

- Boris Pimonenko. He has more than 15 years experience in advising projects’ teams on strategy, technology, operations. He is the CEO of RSquad.

- Pavel Kaplin — successful investor and CEO of Unreal Capital. He invested more than 5M in several crypto project.

- Kate Kabysheva — CMO of RSquad and also marketing leader of GAGARIN, very experienced marketing specialists in various fields.

2.Can you briefly introduce the project GAGARIN LAUNCHPAD what are some of the utilities of $GGR ? How do you think you stand out among the competitors if there are any?

First of all, I want to say that now, when we have not held IDO yet, you can participate in purchases on GAGARIN without any requirements, only by performing social tasks and this is very profitable.

Native token of the GAGARIN ecosystem is $GGR.

The main features and elements of the $GGR token:
- gives access to the GAGARIN platform, its functions and capabilities;
- makes it possible to conduct IDO on the GAGARIN platform;
- gives an opportunity to participate in IDO on the GAGARIN platform;
- gives you the opportunity to get the appropriate level to participate in the IDO;
- makes it possible to stake tokens and receive rewards for this action;
- gives the opportunity to participate in management, namely to make proposals for adding, changing or removing platform functions, to vote for them and receive remuneration for this;
provides access to the functionality of all future projects in the GAGARIN ecosystem.

The main mechanism for using the token is staking in GAGARIN pools. A deposit of tokens in pools must be made both by investors, in order to access the capabilities of the platform, and by projects, in order to conduct an IDO. This makes GGR at least twice as useful as traditional launchpads, in which the token is used only to gain user access to the IDO.

Now on the gagarin.world website, investing in GAGARIN (https://private.gagarin.world/) is available under the terms of a private round.

Early investors receive significant bonuses such as staking and reducing tier requirements. You can read more in our medium (https://medium.com/@GAGARIN.World/gagarin-launches-investor-support-program-747d33f6afd2).

3. Can you share the achievements the team has made so far ? what are the major achievements that GAGARIN LAUNCHPAD is yet to achieve . If possible also share your roadmap.

Similar to launching a spacecraft traversing all layers of the atmosphere on its way to its intended target, the launch of the GAGARIN launchpad is also divided into several stages to achieve its goal of becoming the launchpad of the future — Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Exosphere.

The first release of Troposphere kicks off the GAGARIN site. As part of the release, the basic functionality of the launchpad was launched, namely:
- projects have the opportunity to launch their IDO by submitting an application and passing the selection of the main expert team;
- investors can participate in IDO without restrictions according to the rules of the lottery allocation;
- a guaranteed allocation can be obtained by participating in contests or by investing in the GAGARIN private round.

It was released on April 14, 2022.

The Stratosphere release aims to motivate early GAGARIN investors and simplify the mechanics of investing. This release includes:
- release of “lazy investing” system;
- release of special investor tiers allowing early investors to get access to guaranteed project allocations.

This is what we are working on now. The release is scheduled for June 6th.

Plans for the next 2 quarters include:

- TGE and listings on DEX and CEX
- Launch of official staking pools
- The possibility of interaction between projects and investors within the framework of seed / private rounds
- Support for additional blockchain networks: Ethereum, Polygon. Avalanche, Solana, NEAR, etc.
- Supporting NFT listing
- Free project listing system
- Exchange of Expert Services
- GAGARIN DAO Governance

We will soon publish the final version of the whitepaper, where there will be a detailed roadmap

4. Could you share a bit about security and also what benefits you provide to incentives users choosing your platform?

A very relevant question! Despite the fact that the full launch of GAGARIN is postponed to August, the IDO of some promising projects is being launched on the launch pad as a community sale. To receive an allocation, you do not need to buy GGR tokens — just complete social tasks.

For example, registration for the whitelist of the Obelisk project has started already. The project is in the top 10 according to CoinCryptoGraph.
A complete list of planned and ongoing IDOs is available on the website (https://app.gagarin.world/).

This is the best deal on the market. In addition, users have the opportunity to purchase GGR tokens now as part of a private round. Еhis is our exclusive offer, because the price is 27% lower than in the public round, and the number of available tokens is limited. You can do it right here (https://private.gagarin.world/auth).
Instruction (https://gagarin-launchpad.gitbook.io/internal-wiki/how-to-take-part-in-the-gagarin-private-sale) is also available.

Token holders receive significant bonuses — such as guaranteed allocations and various automated functions of GAGARIN in the future, available only for higher tiers.

The full text about GAGARIN bonuses for the early investors you can read here (https://medium.com/@GAGARIN.World/gagarin-launches-investor-support-program-747d33f6afd2)

Besides that we have a lot of giveaways. There is the list of currently active:

◾️ Obelisk 1500$ Giveaway (https://sweepwidget.com/view/57459-nsli98u1) (up to 5 June)
◾️ MetaXSeed 2500$ Giveaway (https://sweepwidget.com/view/57209-ya2mux4h) (up to 7 June)
◾️ ShibaFriend 4000$ Giveaway (https://sweepwidget.com/view/58158-w9j84isv) (up to 15 June)

Related to security: GAGARIN smart contracts have been audited by Solidity Finance.

5. What’s the total supply of the token Could you share a detailed tokenomics of mainnet token’s supply distribution?

Token ticker: GGR
Blockchain: BSC
Total supply: 100M $GGR
HC — $2 375 000
IMC — $354 500
FDMC — $13 000 000

SALE:

Seed — 10% at TGE, then in equal installments every month for 18 months
Private — 10% at TGE, then in equal installments every month for 12 months
Public — 25% at TGE, then 12,5% every month onward

The main feature of GAGARIN in relation to the tokenomics of other projects of the crypto market in a large number of initially generated tokens for the public round is that users receive a significant part of the tokens acquired during the public round at the time of issue. In this case, private investors get access to IDO as quickly as possible.

The full tokenomics you can read here (https://docsend.com/view/fbjwnxhsnnkdxfa5/d/ifaj3spcp4eas8wh)

SEGMENT 2 TWITTER QUESTIONS.

1.Have you being audited ? Have not heard you talk about that security of funds is what every investor craves for and plans to escape incase of insecurity if funds,scams and rug pulls ? How strongly built are your security put in place?

RSquad — the developer of GAGARIN, has many years of experience in developing blockchain solutions, and their development quality is at the highest level.
Firstly, GAGARIN is a completely decentralized platform built on smart contracts. All user data is stored in the blockchain and belongs only to him. As I said before, smart contracts have been audited by Solidity Finance.

Even if the site is disabled by hackers, we will simply raise a new one. We can say that the platform is only as secure as the blockchain itself.

In addition, we have the legal opinion of a respected Singaporean company on our token. So our security is at a very high level.

2.Many projects have problems with UI / UX and this one turns off new users. How do you plan to improve the interaction with new users and with users outside the crypto space?

Currently, de facto, the approach to fundraising is focused primarily on interaction with professional investors. At the same time, the investment potential of private non-professional investors in public rounds simply cannot be revealed with this approach.

There are several reasons for this, including the high entry threshold for private investors in terms of the amount of knowledge required.

In addition, the launchpad market is oversaturated with the same solutions that have similar functionality, centralization points and weak automation, and the investment process requires the constant involvement of investors: tracking projects, token transfer dates, manual payment operations, token branding, etc. All this leads to a high percentage of investment failures. The lack of automation of investors’ activities becomes an obstacle to the influx of new investors, for whom investing in crypto-startups is not the main income.

We create GAGARIN in order to solve all the problems described above. GAGARIN implements the basic mechanics of familiar launchpads, and also creates additional value for all participants in the investment process, which is what the launchpad of the future should do.

A key feature of GAGARIN is the lazy investing system, thanks to which much less action is required to invest. We are simplifying investing to classic instruments — you no longer need to keep track of whitelist dates, worry about swaps, FCFS, endlessly branding tokens, studying specifics and terminology. The lazy investing system will do everything for you.

3.I was able to read that GAGARIN has recently developed “a new tier system” for your users. Could you explain exactly what this system consists of and what positive repercussions it will have on your platform?

Users should stake $GGR in the selected pool to get access to the platform. There will be 4 account tiers on GAGARIN:

Tier 1 — Earth — no need $GGR to hold, lottery allocation, mandatory social tasks, claiming

Tier 2 — Orbit — up to 2 000 $GGR, guaranteed allocation, mandatory social tasks, claiming

Tier 3 — Galaxy — up to 5 000 $GGR, guaranteed allocation, mandatory social tasks, airdrop

Tier 4 — Universe — over 20 000 $GGR, guaranteed dynamic allocation, no social tasks, airdrop.

Airdrop and Claiming are ways for users to receive purchased tokens. Airdrop — fully automatic, climbing — semi-automatic.

These tier requirements are currently in effect. After GAGARIN TGE the requirements for the number of tokens will be increased.

4.In order to launch with GAGARIN, what are the tasks to be fulfilled for the projects you are interested in? What are the inclusion and exclusion criteria you take into account when making an IDO in collaboration with another platform?

Each project that is selected for launch through GAGARIN is evaluated by the expert community. This is done not only for selection but also for the subsequent refinement of the project.

Here are the main evaluation criteria:
- innovativeness;
- technical readiness;
- roadmap compliance;
- intellectual property rights;
- team’s professionalism;
- tokenomics;
- marketing strategy;
- community character and activity level.

In addition, we also introduce an assessment of the community, which is made up of both our partners and ordinary GAGARIN users. Everyone will have the opportunity to explore the project, publish a report, and if the report gets the required number of votes, the user receives bonuses and increases his expert rating. This is what we are working on now. While in test mode in a closed group.

5.#GAGARIN_World Staking programme is very important for any project,? Can i stake your token,? Do you have any plan of starting staking programme?

The main mechanism for using the token is staking in GAGARIN pools. A deposit of tokens in pools must be made both by investors, in order to access the capabilities of the platform, and by projects, in order to conduct an IDO. This makes GGR at least twice as useful as traditional launchpads, in which the token is used only to gain user access to the IDO.

We already have some kind of staking. For every GAGARIN private round investor will be the staking of GGR tokens with an APR of 15%.

In other words, by buying GGR tokens in the private round, the investor not only gets a tier, but also increases the number of their tokens before their distribution. Moreover, the bonus comes into effect the moment the investor invests in GAGARIN. The earlier the investment is conducted, the more income the investor will receive when the time of token distribution comes.

With full functionality GAGARIN will provide the investor with four types of staking pools:
- fixed pool — a pool in which the investor receives the maximum gain, both in AP and APR, but with a lock for a certain period and a restriction on stake withdrawal before the end of the lock:
APR — 7% | 10% | 15% | 25% | 40% depending on the lock duration
Lock — 2 weeks | 1 month | 3 months | 6 months | 1 year
1 GGR = 1 AP
withdrawal fee — 30% (in case of withdrawal before unlocking)

- flexible pool — a pool with no limit on stake input/withdrawal, but providing less AP per GGR and less APR:
APR — 7%
1 GGR = 0,5 AP
no withdrawal restrictions

- community pool — a pool with no restrictions and no accrual of AP, suitable for those who wish to receive a yield in GGR tokens without using the functionality of GAGARIN:
APR — 25%
1 GGR = 0 AP
no withdrawal restrictions

- liquidity pool — LP-token staking (liquidity pair with the platform token e.g. GGR-BNB)
APR — 14% | 20% | 30% | 50% | 80% depending on the lock duration
Lock — 2 weeks | 1 month | 3 months | 6 months | 1 year
1 LP = 2 * k AP, where k > 0,75 is the pair correlation coefficient
withdrawal fee 30%

In addition to pools for investors, there is also an IDO pool — a special pool without yield and AP accrual, required for projects that want to freely get listed on GAGARIN.

SEGMENT 3 TELEGRAM LIVE.

Q1-Luis Arias,
Could you tell us what the requirements will be that we will have to meet in order to participate in the Gagarin launches? would it be to simply complete a KYC and lock a set amount of native tokens?

[In reply to Luis Arias]
Currently, until the time of GAGARIN IDO, there are no requirements to participate in IDO projects on the platform:
- NO KYC
- No project tokens requirement

. But for users who bought GGR in the private round, there are bonuses, as I wrote above.

Q2-Diran Abudu,
Most IDOS platforms are not fair in carrying out thier operations. How can we be guarantee that your platform will be conducting transparently and fairly IDOS?

[In reply to Diran Abudu]
Firstly, we do not transfer user funds to the project, until the TGE. If the project violates the deadlines for the transfer of tokens to the user, the user can withdraw his deposit. Read more here.
Now we are developing a mechanism for additional insurance through tokens.
