Africa AMA with D’Va Community
Babala: Ang mga katanungan lamang ang isinalin nating sa wikang Filipino
Maraming salamat sa pamayanan ng D’Va sa pag-host ng ating “Ask Me Anything (AMA), tampok ang Velas nuong ika-5 ng Nobyembre taong 2020 kasama ang ating CTO na si Roman Cheridnik. Kung inyong napalampas ang ating AMA, itong recap ay para sa inyo.
Sky Kanekii:
We are glad to meet here:
@roman_tik Roman CTO
roman_tik:
Hi everyone!
Glad to be here today!
Sky Kanekii:
Hii welcome
How are you feel today: @roman_tik
roman_tik:
Great! How are you guys?
Sky Kanekii:
Great Thank you
our community hope to talk and learn more with the VELAS 😊
Q1: Tayo ay magpapatuloy na sa unang segment. Maaari mo bang ipakilala ang iyong sarili at ang Velas?
roman_tik:
My name is Roman, CTO at Velas Network AG. I have a diverse industry background, including extensive and technology-heavy work in mass market blockchain apps, trading platforms and cybersecurity projects development. My passion is about building high-performing teams that discover and implement new technologies to yield competitive advantage.
Velas is the widescale ecosystem of decentralized products built on top of an innovative AI-powered blockchain platform. We build our technology with a focus on scalability, security, and decentralization to solve ubiquitous blockchain trilemma.
We have two development directions — Products and the layer of the Velas Blockchain. These two unite into the Velas Ecosystem.
Velas Blockchain is designed to be reliable, this is why we build it to be AI-powered. AI will be used to empower DPoS consensus mechanism and will be able to change network parameters dynamically. This is essential to let the network adapt to unusual circumstances and prevent various attacks. AI will continuously collect data from validator nodes to understand what is happening within the network. In case if some malicious or unusual activity appears, AI will recommend changing the values of those parameters which will make the network more secure, stable, faster, or whatever is needed at that moment in time.
Besides the layer of Velas Blockchain, we build Vortex — decentralised social media platform for chatting and sharing various types of content: images, audio, and video. Vortex is run on top and powered by the Velas Blockchain. Since censorship on centralised platforms sometimes is very untransparent and questionable nowadays, we want to give all authority of content moderation and labeling into the hands of the community.
To make the platform more attractive to content makers we will also implement flexible monetisation. This means that content makers will be able to monetise their content in many ways, including donations from the community, paid premium videos, built-in crowdfunding features for widescale projects, staking on video, and other features.
On top of that, our Vortex Wallet will have almost nothing in common with today’s cryptocurrency wallets which are not user friendly and overloaded. The Vortex Wallet will allow the user to login to any ecosystem service with just one tap — by using biometrics on the user’s phone. Users will be able to operate with many crypto and fiat currencies thanks to the Velas integration with CoinPayments, where users can buy or exchange 1800+ crypto and 25+ fiat currencies.
Sky Kanekii:
Great Thank for your explanation
Q2. Sa pagbuo ng mga AI system na kagaya ng ginagawa nyo ay kailangan ng napakaraming data, ano ang uri ng data na inyong ginagamit sa pagsanay sa inyong algorithm?
roman_tik:
We used the data from our existing networks of mainnet, testnet and also a lot of data that we simulate during the experiments our AI team is running.
Sky Kanekii:
Cool!
Q3. Sino ang mga namumuhunan sa inyo? Paano kayo kumukita upang mapanatili ang proyekto? Ano ang mga layunin ninyo sa pagtatapos ng 2020 at sa susunod pang mga taon?
roman_tik:
Velas was founded in 2019 by Alex Alexandrox, who is also the CEO of the world’s first and biggest altcoin payment processing platform from 2013 — CoinPayments net . Right now around 50 people work in Velas all around the globe, besides that, we cooperate with AI laboratories, blockchain companies, and institutions all around the world (you can check our partners on the website). We are currently reworking a lot of items on our roadmap that we are going to present soon. In a nutshell, in 2020–2021 our biggest focus is the improvement of the blockchain layer, and the launch of Vortex that will bring social media to the next level.
👍
Sky Kanekii:
Awesome
Q4. Ano ang kahulugan ang mayroon sa pangalan ng Velas?
roman_tik:
It stands for Virtual Expanding Learning Autonomous System. Sometimes it is also associated with the god Velos from mythology.
👍
Sky Kanekii:
Okaay
At iyon ang ating mga paunang tanong at nasagot naman ng maayos. Tayo ay tutuloy na sa Segment 2, Limang Pinakamahusay na tanong dahil sa Twitter.
Sky Kanekii:
Q1: Ang Velas ay gumagamit ng Roll-DPos consensus mechanism — isang uri ng Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS). Gaano kaepektibo ang bagong mekanismong ito? May mga kamalian bang nangyayari tuwing operasyon?
Galing kay: @Dudunubener
roman_tik:
We build an AI-powered consensus. AI will be used to empower DPoS consensus mechanism and will be able to change network parameters dynamically. This is essential to let the network adapt to unusual circumstances and prevent various attacks. AI will continuously collect data from validator nodes to understand what is happening within the network. In case if some malicious or unusual activity appears, AI will recommend changing the values of those parameters which will make the network more secure, stable, faster, or whatever is needed at that moment in time. So we call it AIDPoS, to be precise.
👍
Sky Kanekii:
Next Questions!
Q2: Nais kong malaman kung mayroon bang natagpuang bug ang pangkat ng Velas at kung naayos na ba ito? Kung wala naman, may pabuya ba sa makakapagturo sa mga bug na iyon?
Galing kay: @Beatmber07
roman_tik:
We operate in a classic fashion of open source development where people can see the source code and make sure it does what it supposed to do per their expectation and measure the risks. Of course our code is not ideal. So from our side, yes we do sponsor bug bounties, hackathons, and periodic audits that collectively help us make our solution more reliable.
👍
Sky Kanekii:
Great answer!
Next Questions
Q3: Ang Velas Blockchain ay isinama ang Schnorr Firm, ano ang importante sa teknolohiyang ito? Sa karaniwan, hindi ito ginagamit ng mga blockchain
Galing kay: @Manghentai11
roman_tik:
We are not using Schnorr signatures at the moment. However we do use Shamir secret sharing approach to implement the decentralised custodian mechanism that we started to work on recently. This will let Velas Blockchain to act as a decentralised wallet to other crypto assets like BTC and ETH and allow nearly free and instant transfers of those assets between the Velas accounts.

Q4: Paano magagarantiya ng #VLX ang seguridad at mababang bayad sa transaksyon kung ikukumpara sa ibang blockchain?
Galing kay: @Gabrellasa
roman_tik:
Our VLX tokenomy is basically concentrated around these things:
⁃ Users can stake VLX in order to contribute to the overall network security by selecting credible master nodes and getting rewards for that contribution.
⁃ VLX is used to pay transaction fees.
⁃ VLX will be the main utility token to power the products the Velas team will build on top of the chain.
With the throughput of our chain of 50k+ TPS, a fee per transaction will be extremely low for the end users.

Last Questions From Twitter
Q5: May narinig akong mga balita na ang Velas ay may kaugnayan din sa Industriya ng mga sasakyan. Paano at ano ang makikita nating pagbabago na makakatulong sa Velas?
Galing kay: @ankajglag23
roman_tik:
Velas Blockchain is not constrained to a particular industry. Velas is rather an open platform for different industries and types of applications, including Automotive and, for example, DeFi. As a good example of it, we got an independent team that launched the Symblox project and is now offering the product to the ones interested in the DeFi space. They chose Velas because they believed that with our tech features they will be able to achieve better results compared to Ethereum and other chains.
👍
Sky Kanekii:
Nice
Questions on segment 2 have been answered, It’s wonderful thank you @roman_tik
Tayo ay tutuloy na sa segment 3
︵❣️Kim AI︵❣️:
Nais kong matuto pa patungkol sa VELAS ngunit ang mga impormasyon ay maliit lamang at ang mga social network ay hindi aktibo, ang kumunidad naman ay walang laman, ano ang istratehiya ng pangkat upang mapaunlad ang kumunidad at mapanatili ang mga gumagamit?
roman_tik:
It is a very good question as we belive the global and diverse community is a must in any project based on decentralization 🙂
We at Velas put a huge focus on our community and work hard to make it as wide as possible, because no decentralization is ever possible without a community being Global!

Weckly:
Ano ang ginagampanang tungkulin ng pamayanan sa pamamahala sa inyong ekosistema upang mapanatili na ito ay pinapatakbo pa din nila? Sinong mga miyembro ng kumunidad ang makakadalo sa paggawa ng mga desisyon?
roman_tik:
Besides the layer of Velas Blockchain, we build Vortex — decentralised social media platform for chatting and sharing various types of content: images, audio, and video. Vortex is run on top and powered by the Velas Blockchain. Since censorship on centralised platforms sometimes is very untransparent and questionable nowadays, we want to give all authority of content moderation and governance into the hands of the community.
Jade:
Ano ang kalamangan ng AIDPOS kung ikukumpara sa DPoS sa gastusin at kakayahan?
roman_tik:
AI will be used to empower DPoS consensus mechanism and will be able to change network parameters dynamically. This is essential to let the network adapt to unusual circumstances and prevent various attacks. AI will continuously collect data from validator nodes to understand what is happening within the network. In case if some malicious or unusual activity appears, AI will recommend changing the values of those parameters which will make the network more secure, stable, faster, or whatever is needed at that moment in time.
Dalmasca Blockchain:
Mayroon ba kayong plano upang makagawa ng gateway para sa mga magdedeposito ng Fiat at mag mint ng crypto fiat sa Velas Wallet?
roman_tik:
The Vortex Wallet will allow the user to login to any ecosystem service with just one tap — by using biometrics on the user’s phone. Users will be able to operate with many crypto and fiat currencies thanks to the Velas integration with CoinPayments, where users can buy or exchange 1800+ crypto and 25+ fiat currencies.
Ngoc Nga:
Malaki ang naging epekto ng Covid-19 sa kabuuang merkado ng crypto, paano napapanatili ng inyong kumpanya ang inyong proyekto at ang pangkat ba ay nagtatrabaho ng maayos sa kasagsagan ng pandemic?
roman_tik:
We mostly did not get affected by the current crisis from the development perspective. More than that, we are currently reworking a lot of items on our roadmap that we are going to present soon. Our biggest focus is the improvement of the blockchain layer, and the launch of Vortex that will bring social media to the next level. And we cannot wait to share it with the world!
Sky Kanekii:
Awesome answer 🥳
