| Motivation, Goals, and Ideal World | 1. Yay! will be the gateway to the mass adoption of crypto assets. Just as email has become commonplace with the spread of the Internet, the future of having a wallet and exchanging value through tokens is coming soon. In order for users to use crypto assets on an app on a daily basis and to increase the scale by several tens of times, excellent usability and a community of a certain size are necessary. Yay! allows crypto asset beginners to participate in tokenomics without incurring any costs in advance and without having to open a wallet or exchange. Furthermore, by defining roles according to the attributes of users and allowing community participants to exchange information with each other, it is possible to deepen knowledge according to the user's stage. The swell that derives from small waves will eventually involve many people, creating a future in which tokens are naturally used throughout the Yay! community. 2. Realizing sustainable tokenomics Yay!'s tokenomics is structured so that both advanced users who are familiar with DeFi and trading and beginners who are experiencing tokens for the first time through Yay! can participate in tokenomics according to their respective roles and support each other. Tokenomics uses Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and Fungible Tokens (FTs) to ensure the sustainable growth of the Yay! platform and to ensure that the ecosystem including all stakeholders runs smoothly and continuously. Yay! not only returns token revenue to the community, but also continues to return business revenue other than crypto assets to the community, thereby realizing its vision as a service that combines Social Finance (SocialFi), the world's first sustainable token economy, and Play To Earn. 3. The greatest utility of crypto assets is the metaverse The greatest utility of crypto assets is the metaverse, where assets are managed. When you think of the metaverse, you probably think of VR space or graphics equivalent to the real world, but that is merely a tool, and the essence is the community itself. The metaverse is not a single service, but a space created jointly by multiple organizations with a common purpose, where multiple services are seamlessly connected. In this context, the virtual world space, which can be called another world where people have a place to live, a job, and live, will be called the metaverse. The experience on the Yay! platform has already attracted many people, and there is a community where many users use it daily even without incentives or an economic sphere. By building an economic sphere with tokens there, all community participants will inevitably come into contact with the world of web3. In the future, we will form a metaverse together by involving other communities and deepening seamless connections with games, DeFi, etc., starting from Yay!. 4 Creating another world where you can live by interacting as you are Yay!'s mission is to use algorithms to make better human relationships scientific and provide "a place for everyone." We will continue to provide opportunities to create truly compatible connections, regardless of gender, age, or place of residence, and to create connections where people can be themselves and respect each other. We will build an economic sphere by attaching value to contributions to the community through tokenomics. Users can earn value by connecting and interacting with people they like, and can receive monetary rewards. In addition, by holding governance tokens, users can directly participate in important decision-making regarding the Yay! ecosystem. By valuing community contributions in this way, we will accelerate "good connections" and realize another world where people can interact and live as they are. |
