We currently have 150+ musicians & 500+ users preregistered with ZERO marketing, and the lists growing every week (still havent used our 100k+ emails from our prior music career to gain users). Our user base makes up 80-90% web2 & brings them into web3 without them even knowing it. While Verse grows, it directly give Mantle new users outside of crypto ensuring the longevity of the chain, while other blockchain companies focus only on migrating users from other chains to Mantle.\n\nTransactions:\nWhen we reach our goal of 100,000 musicians globally in the next 3 years (theres 20m+), if only 20% mint an NFT drop, at only 100 mints each, thats 2,000,000 txns a year on primary sales, not even on secondary sales. At a $10/NFT average that $20,000,000 in txn volume just from Verse on primary sales. This scales immensely if we reach 250k musicians\n\nFun Fact: A musicians drop on average is 500-1,000 NFTs, thats $100m+ in transaction volume a year. Verse scales immensely for Mantle in helping it become the L2 leader on Eth\n\nNode Network:\nVerse is creating its own private IPFS node network for its core users to run & be rewarded daily for, we already have 80+ presold. These node will store music and other data so Verse can run decentralized, but once the network has grown to thousands of nodes and is fully stable, we will look to provide data storage to other platforms that want to integrate in the Mantle ecosystem and get away from AWS. This network directly will help other mantle companies tap into our large user base while reducing hosting costs from servers on AWS or Google cloud\n", "hidden": false, "question": "Tell us how your project will benefit the Mantle ecosystem?", "questionId": 4}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/zeinzaioud/\n\nI have launched a 500k+ views/month website, multiple apps to 15k users, & built two $4m+ revenue companies.\n\nI also have 2 exits!", "hidden": false, "question": "Can you point to a portfolio, profile page, or platform where we can see your past work?", "questionId": 5}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Verse has won grants from NEAR protocol & recently Mantle to migrate", "hidden": false, "question": "Have you received grant funding for this or another project before?
