Question for Part 1- Project overview
Question 1: Firstly, can you give me brief introdution about your managerment team and Step Hero. What are the occasions that lead you to the idea of this platform?
Lucifer Nguyen: Hi @maru1875, hello everyone. I'm Lucifer Nguyen - CTO of Step Hero. I'm super excited to be here today to share with your amazing community about Step Hero. And yes. I am ready!
Let's begin with our team story's first.
Initially, we're a game studio with more than 15 years of experience creating world-class games. 😎
Due to confidentiality agreements with our partners, we cannot disclose the specific games we have developed. 🤫
However, some of them have achieved phenomenal successes in the global gaming market. 🚀
Over the years, we've been thinking about how to bring more value to the players of our games. 🤔
We can now realize that goal, thanks to blockchain technology and, in particular, NFT technology. By tokenizing our in-game characters and items into NFTs and creating a market for them, we can now bring those items real-life value from which our users can benefit. 💎💎
To conquer the blockchain gaming market, we gathered blockchain industry professionals to form our A-team.
We have Garbriel, Lilly, Stephen, and me. And don't forget Krillin Tao - the guy who lead the game development team.
You can find more info about our team profile here: https://whitepaper.stephero.io/team
And then, after we gathered together. We've created Step Hero.
Actually, together, we've developed a blockchain gaming project already. And everything goes so far so good!
So What is Step Hero?
Basically, Step Hero is a comprehensive NFT ecosystem comprises
⚔️ Step Hero - The lucrative NFT fantasy-themed RPG game on BSC and Polygon,
🏪 HERO NFT Marketplace - a cross-chain high liquidity NFT Marketplace
💎 Step Hero Collectibles - artworks made with the most high quality graphic design
And that's my brief introduction about our team and about Step Hero.
Question 2: Next, please let me know the key products and achievements that Step Hero has made so far.

💎 Step Hero Collectibles - artworks made with the highest quality graphic design

About the achievements that Step Hero has made so far
Let's have a look at our roadmap!
So far, we've achieved all Q2 goals apart from NFT launching because we're waiting for a more favorable market status to launch. (and it's good time now) 🥳🥳
Question 3:
Could you tell us about the short-term and long-term goals of Step Hero in the future?
Lucifer Nguyen:
Well, actually i've not finished the last question. But it's find because i'll update and share with you all now!
These days, we have 4 main focuses:
1. Fund raising & partnership development
2. Game development
3. Prepare for NFT release
4. IDO
About our strategic partnerships:
A source of pride for us is that we have found wonderful partners who have supported us a lot and will keep supporting us until we realize our ambition of becoming the top NFT ecosystem globally.
Please shout out to our investors: IceTea Labs, BSC News, Mayor Capital, Dutch Crypto Investors, Oracles Investment Group, Frontier, AV Star Capital,..and also our strategic partner: TAG Ventures, LaunchZone, Redkite, Gourmet Galaxy, BSC Army,... Let's get to the moon together! 🚀
We've finished the seed round and nearly complete the private round with only a few token allocations left. And we will announce the total raised amount from both rounds on our official channels next week; the investors' hype for Step Hero is beyond our initial expectations. 🤑
About Step Hero RPG Game
We have been working extremely hard to develop the game Step Hero for the past year.
Honestly, in today's P2E market, not all games are enjoyable. Many people join the game just to gain money, and they miss out on the joy and thrill of the gaming experience. 😢
As a game studio, we aim to create genuinely captivating games and please true game lovers. Step Hero promises to bring a novelistic gaming experience. We won't let you down!
We will launch the game in Q4 2021. Here's a sneak peek at our upcoming game.
About HERO NFT Collectibles
Many members of the Step Hero community are eagerly awaiting Hero NFTs, and I have good news for you all. 🥳
We will offer the first collection of NFTs immediately following the IDO event in August 15th.
HERO treasure chests containing NFTs will be available for sale on NFT marketplaces. You may purchase chests and find NFT random goodies within. 💎 There's gonna be so much fun! 🥳🥳
I'm looking forward to the launch date so that I can open my own chests. Guys, please wish me luck! 🍀🍀
And finally, About our IDO
We will officially IDO on LaunchZone's LZPad and RedKite platform on August 15th, 2021. (There might be 1 more IDO partner, stay tuned for official information) 😉
RedKite was the LaunchPad of Faraland, the top 4 NFT gainers this July.
Questions for Part 2 - Pre-collected questions from Twitter:
Question 1: The NFTs on Step Hero platform are the tool of everything, they can be used for trading, battle and gaming but how versatile they can be? Is there a way to improve the NFTs with extra items and get better stats and price or fractionalize them for trading? @Lidiamga
Lucifer Nguyen: Yes! You can get better stats and price by:
1. Combining in-game heroes with items & skills to get higher level NFTs
2. Embedding the NFTs into digital artworks -> this is a really cool and unique feature that we think will help with increasing the NFT value considerably 💎💎
The idea about fractional trading is a really good one. We've research about NFT trading features from precedent products and are evaluating the pros n cons of fractional trading feature. I think we'll see if the feature would be included in our product roadmap.
Question 2: Step HeroNFT was built on BSC and Polygon Network. While Ethereum is the most popular NFTs creation blockchain, why didn't you choose the ETH network? What role does each of these chains play in your ecosystem? Do you have a cross-chain bridge between chains? @Aravind75154890
Lucifer Nguyen: Why didn't you choose the ETH network?
-> We want to be one of the top cross-chain NFT ecosystems. We're starting out on BSC & Polygon. The main chain is BSC, and then we bridge over Polygon. In the future, we'll bridge over other networks, maybe including ETH.
Ethereum has limitations of high gas price and low scalability. That's the reason why we didn't decide to start on ETH at the first place.
Question 3: NFT and GameFi are growing very fast, does Step Hero have some barriers to entry into this marketplace? What are your plans to unlock market's full potential, in order to compete with other NFT marketplaces like CryptoPunks, Anxie Infinity, Cool Cats...? @hyon_light
Lucifer Nguyen: Yeah. This question addresses our plans to develop HERO Marketplace.
Like what you mentioned, our biggest barrier to entry is the NFT ecosystems such as Axie Infinity, Cool Cats, which has been very successful and has a large market share.
It is quite challenging for a new ecosystem to compete for market share in a market that already has such big players.
However, keep in mind that NFTs are still a nascent field. And in the history of businesses, first-generation pioneers have never been as successful as the next generation. I.e: Google has eliminated Yahoo Search, Nokia is a thing of the past,…
To unlock the market potential, we will take the following actions:
1. Product and business optimization based on the experience of previous NFTs
2. Prepare abundant financial resources, optimize resources to maintain operations against difficulties from the market and competitors
3. Cooperate with many partners in all fields, expand our NFT systems to many users.
4. Promote brand recognition through community building, KOLs marketing
Question 4: Can you articulate some details of the metrics and the governance model of $HERO token? What is the role of $HERO in the platform ecosystem? What are your strategies to help drive the demand and increase the token value, thus making profits for long-term holders and investors? @Lemin2307He
Lucifer Nguyen: $HERO is our government and utility token.
The primary utilities of the HERO token are:
1️⃣ HERO Farming: HERO tokens are used for farming Points that users can use for NFT redemption.
2️⃣ Payment in HNM: HERO tokens are used as a payment currency in Hero NFTs Marketplace along with other tokens
3️⃣ Voting: Holder of a certain amount of $HERO token will have the voting power on decisions regarding project development
4️⃣ In the future, Step Hero Ecosystem will update with more use cases for the HERO token.
Details about the tokenomics, please check out: https://whitepaper.stephero.io/hero-tokennomics/hero-token-and-distributions
Our strategy to increase the token value
1. Build a great ecosystem which creates more use cases for $HERO token. Holders of $HERO token can use them for:
✅ HERO Farming: HERO tokens are used for farming Points that users can use for NFT redemption. See more: https://whitepaper.stephero.io/hero-tokennomics/step-hero-staking
✅ Payment in HNM: HERO tokens are used as a payment currency in Hero NFTs Marketplace along with other tokens
✅ In the future, Step Hero Ecosystem will update with more use cases for the HERO token.
2. Token burn: A ratio of revenue from the ecosystem will be spent on buying back $HERO to burn. The details about burning mechanisms will be updated soon.
3. Mechanism to encourage users to keep tokens: For long-term token holders, they will receive rewards when we launch the game.
4. We select reputable investment funds, have a long history of commitment to projects and distribute tokens to many different investors. This helps limit the pump and dump that causes $HERO token price volatility.
Question 5: What is the current target market of Step Hero, as well as its target customer? Does Step Hero friendly with Non-English speakers? How many languages does Step Hero support? Can you tell us more about Step Hero's marketing plan to expand globally? @SoledadTunstall

Question 3: About your ecosystem, can you tell me what security system do you have to guarantee privacy and protection to your users? @pantnao
Lucifer Nguyen: We are aware of the possible technical risks when producing blockchain games. The outstanding blockchain programmers & game engineers in our team have many options to prevent those risks.
First and foremost, we prioritize testing before releasing the product. We decrease the chance of problems that have a substantial impact on consumers by extensively testing the functionality in various environments before releasing it into production.
Next, the smart contract for our game will be audited by the top auditors. This will help us significantly improve our system, as well as increase investor confidence. We will also organize Bug Bounty Programs to detect and address software bugs early.
Finally, in the event of a technical mishap, we have prepared migration plans to handle the issue in the most concise manner.
Question 4: Collaborations and partnerships are some of the most important cornerstones to help improve adoption. Can you tell us about your current partners, plans for partnerships and what everybody stands to gain from these partnerships? @Sofia6875
