Furthermore, this will be performed in a fully decentralized way between 2 Project team managers, without any third party, via proposals / counter-proposals / validations that are done fully onchain. The goal is to transition from a mono project token management perspective (already released V1) to a multi project token management perspective (V2).\n\nThis will give web3 Projects early exposure to multiple communities at once, breaking up the silos of solo marketing campaigns performed within platforms such as Galxe or Zealy. The potential of partnerships and Co-Marketing campaigns will be massively increased, enabling the creation of a map of Partnerships with their strengths (directly related to the % of token exchanged between projects), which will provide useful insights and metrics to both Projects and investors. It is also the base to establish an on-chain reputation system to identify the most valuable users, which is a key challenge in the space.\n\nAdaptive Farming is likely to create a flywheel effect, as web3 Projects will be incentivized to bring other Projects to YZ, as there is no other solution on the market enabling tokenized Partnerships with prelaunch Projects.\n", "hidden": true, "question": "Describe the innovative ideas, technologies, or approaches your project brings to the Avalanche Teleporter ecosystem and their potential impact:", "questionId": 5}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Our team has a solid track record, from startups to leading positions in Fortune 500 companies, with technical experience as well as management experience (both human/organizational and product/project).\nWe have been crypto builders and investors since 2017, having scanned 3000+ Projects.
