1. To start things off,what exactly is Citizen Finance?
Alexis |Citizenfinance.io:
Citizen Finance is amulti-chain ecosystem powering the next generation of nft utilities.Being developed by Early adopters of NFTs in 2017 and an indie gamestudio (Arvrse Studio)
Alexis |Citizenfinance.io,:
The platform consists ofan open world FPS game with NFT elements, a decentralized Financeprotocol with nft at the core and an immersive nft marketplace thatnot only enables artist creates and trade their artwork but alsocurate art exhibition with nft art in which views can be monetized.
KDOT (BSC.NEWS):
Thank you, so to clarify,you are building an NFT marketplace + a game?
Alexis |Citizenfinance.io:
Exactly with the option touse created artwork as collateral for DeFi
and also in-game assetsfor collateral
KDOT (BSC.NEWS):
ah ok and what does FPSstandard for? (first player?)
Alexis |Citizenfinance.io:
First Person Shooter
KDOT (BSC.NEWS):
oh, so the game is aboutshooting I assume? any teaser pictures?
Alexis |Citizenfinance.io:
There was a video from ourpre-alpha which was meant for testing game logics
let me get the link
KDOT (BSC.NEWS):
Perfect.
Alexis |Citizenfinance.io:
It was done on a testenvironment with characters for logic and mechanics testing anddebugging
KDOT (BSC.NEWS):
oh wow, so it’s not likethe game isn’t built, it’s actually a working product, just not outyet?
Alexis |Citizenfinance.io:
We have a pre-alpha with adummy mission to try game play and other mechanics. Although wedecided to halt its release to the general public while focusing ondeveloping alpha of the product
KDOT (BSC.NEWS):
Ok and the game, will itbe single player mode or online based to play with others around theworld?
Alexis |Citizenfinance.io:
Metalands (Previously MetaCity) is best of both single and multiplayer gameplay. Players candecide to take on the role of our main character in an open worldenvironment to complete the story or join with other players andclans for a action-packed multiplayer gameplay
KDOT (BSC.NEWS):
Amazing. So now we have ashooting mode game and you can play multiplayer. How does this fit inwith the NFTs? Is it like NFT loot drops?
Alexis |Citizenfinance.io:
All in-game assets,skills, customizations, and bunkers are all blockchain NFTs. Playerscan withdraw their in-game assets out of the game as NFTs, which theycan trade on CifiPowa or stake on Santa Fe
also, in-game drops arealso NFTs
KDOT (BSC.NEWS):
oh wow! This soundsamazing!!
So with all this going on,being able to sell ur in-game assets etc leads me on to my next Q
2. Can you tell usabout your token $CIFIand the many uses it has?
Alexis |Citizenfinance.io:
CIFI token with itsmaximum supply of 500,000 is the main currency of Citizen Finance. Itfuels the ecosystem governance system and its applications utilities.
The currency can be usedfor;
– Payment for NFTspurchased on Cifipower

– Exhibition views
– Credit purchase for PowaX
– Advertisers payment
– Weapon skin crafting

– and others (as soon aswe release them)
KDOT (BSC.NEWS):
a big list i see :)Something stands out here ‘Lending’
What is meant by this?
Alexis |Citizenfinance.io:
users will be able to lendCIFI out on Santa Fe
KDOT (BSC.NEWS):
Right ok, So can youexplain what Santa Fe is? đ
Alexis |Citizenfinance.io,:
Santa Fe is adecentralized finance protocol with NFT at its core. It enables usersto borrow funds using NFT as Collateral and also enables Nft Stakingto Earn erc20 tokens.
KDOT (BSC.NEWS):
oh wow this is superinteresting, how does it put a price tag/value on an NFT?
Alexis |Citizenfinance.io:
That is where ourtokenized art comes in…users will be able to lock CIFI againstassets using our tokenized art smart contract. The platform willmeasure the assets with the locked value instead. This is going tosolve the liquidation problem of NFTs as it can easily be liquidatedto obtain the locked value
KDOT (BSC.NEWS):
Right, we are 2 Qs in &only started & my mind is blown.. so let me just lay it all out.
We have a FPS Game whichallows you to sell your in-game ‘items’ as NFTs meaning everything istradable with value.. You can then also put up your NFTs up forcollateral and borrow funds & CIFI has a big list of use cases..this all correct?
Alexis |Citizenfinance.io:
affirmative
KDOT (BSC.NEWS):

Alexis |Citizenfinance.io:

Alexis |Citizenfinance.io:
of course
Almost everyday, we see anew NFT marketplace being released on BSC with “Cheap gas Fee”as their selling point. Now there are other blockchain with cheap gasfees which are gradually taking the space BSC currently fills forEthereum shortcomings. All Marketplaces currently offer the samefeatures, Create, Buy and Sell. Have we asked ourselves the use caseof those artwork we purchased as NFTs and how they can rival theirtraditional counterparts?
CifiPowa immersivemarketplace is going to be different from all other marketplace.while offering the same create, buy and sell features, it will alsointroduced Powa X
Powa X is an immersivereality based application which integrates CifiPowa into its backend.The platform enables users to overlay their collected artwork intothe real world environment using AR technology. Users will not onlybe able to collect artwork, they will be able to interact with theartwork. They can make photos, videos and other interactiveexperience with the artwork
For Artist, it provides anew form of monetizing their artwork without selling it
Artwork can be used tocurate art exhibitions with no entry barriers. Anyone will be able tovisit the exhibition irrespective of your location while the artistcan decide to monetized views
The application ifavailable during the peak of covid19, would have saved lots of artand fashion businesses from complete shutdown as they will be able todigitize their gallery and curate virtual exhibition
In order to become a worldstandard, Citizen Finance has joined VRARA, a world Immersivetechnology association with leading tech companies like Sony,Microsoft, BOSCH, Apple, HTC VIVE, Facebook, Samsung and many others
we plan on using theassociation to push out …NFT + AR technology to the wider world
KDOT (BSC.NEWS):
Amazing! so let me justput in some Side Qs here
I love how innovative youand your team are and not just doing the standard, it’s reallyamazing actually!
So, with all thisexcitement you’ve built here, when will this be ready?
and 2nd side Q: How willVRARA help you?
Alexis | Citizenfinance.io
70% of Powa X is fullyavailable…we recently added the support for GLB and some other 3Dmodels (not just image files). We are working on credit system whichwill enable user purchase credits to view monetized exhibition andartist or event organizers to withdraw their credits. Credits canalso be earn through interaction with immersive ads and treasurehunting.
Powa X beta version shouldbe up this month but users will be able to start building theirgallery from this week on CifiPowa
VRARA is a worldassociation with nearly all big companies working on Immersivetechnologies. We believe the future of work, business, medicine andother sector is in Immersive technologies. Powa X will be able to getexposure from VRARA workshop and seminars, we will have theopportunities to present our application to more than 4000 membersand world events. We also get to collaborate with other XR projectsas well as first hand information on new updates
We were supposed topresent on Facebook Spark lab June 20 but we had to turn it down dueto the fact that we are still developing
