# November AMA Transcript

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/m4PYtDWuzpE>" %}

Eric: Hello, Matrixians Now. It's 03:00. P.m.In Hong Kong and also in Beijing.

&#x20;

So our CEO Owen is with me, and weare holding this monthly AMA as usual.

&#x20;

And just in the previous month, we have

&#x20;

many questions submitted by ourMatrixians and thanks for that.

&#x20;

And today we have a screen total of eight

&#x20;

questions that our CEO Owenwill address one by one.

&#x20;

And it's good to see that the quality ofquestions are getting better and better.

&#x20;

When I say quality of question,the depth

&#x20;

meaning of the question itself and the scope ofthe question, all the questions that are

&#x20;

not kind of repeat of the previous month's question that submitted.

&#x20;

So those are good signs in terms of a good

&#x20;

community and it's a mature community, so to speak.

&#x20;

So that's very good tous and also for yourself.

&#x20;

And I remember one of the questions about what do you think is important?

&#x20;

And one of the answer is about the trust

&#x20;

from the effort that we spent for the past years, especially for the past two years.

&#x20;

So, without further ado, I would like to start the question with Owen.

&#x20;

Owen, Are you ready?

&#x20;

Owen: Yeah, I'm ready.

&#x20;

Eric: Okay, good.

&#x20;

Let's go then.

&#x20;

Question one,this question comes from No Fear.

&#x20;

Do you still remember? Owen

&#x20;

No fear.

&#x20;

Owen, did I say okay, No Fear,you do have some fears, right?

&#x20;

Owen: Yeah.

&#x20;

Okay, we have two questions coming from No Fear.

&#x20;

The first question is that you say that theMANTA platform will be active soon.

&#x20;

Is there anything negative about the test done?

&#x20;

Will the MANTA platform be used this year?

&#x20;

Yeah Owen, I think this will be a quick answer.

&#x20;

Owen: As you know, we just released

&#x20;

our guide documents about how to install our MANTA plan on your machines right now.

&#x20;

After that, your client and your

&#x20;

computer power will be connected to ourMatrix network when we receive some

&#x20;

business orders and your machine will get some tasks and you will rent your

&#x20;

GPU computing and power out and to finish some computing work.

&#x20;

After that, you will get the rewards.

&#x20;

That's how our MANTA system works.

&#x20;

After that, the MANTA will be active and running very soon.

&#x20;

During Our testing period, we have found some

&#x20;

bugs and we have already fixed most of them.

&#x20;

And we still doing our best to

&#x20;

improve the whole FFC for our MANTA system to make it better

&#x20;

and we can do more jobs in the future.

&#x20;

Yeah that's how everything is going on. Okay, good.

&#x20;

Eric: Thank you.That's a very good answer.

&#x20;

So, NoFear,

&#x20;

I think I know you submitted this question much earlier than today, 28 November.

&#x20;

And as a matter of fact, we have just

&#x20;

released the announcement, which is about the deployment guide for MANTA.

&#x20;

And this guide consists of the hardware

&#x20;

requirement and also how to launch it,I mean, how to launch the web services.

&#x20;

So you can take a look at the guide and the MANTA platform already

&#x20;

being deployed on the mainnet,as we mentioned before.

&#x20;

And this guide is trying to help those interested parties, trying to set up their

&#x20;

ones and to get their tasks and get rewards in terms of GPU mining.

&#x20;

So, yeah, to take a look and say,for the No Fear and Nofear.

&#x20;

You have a second question.

&#x20;

So shall we move on? Okay.

&#x20;

The second question is, your work is exciting here.

&#x20;

You do understand that?

&#x20;

I follow it.

&#x20;

What problem do you plan to solve first for web3?

&#x20;

Well, that's a very big question. Nofear.

&#x20;

Yeah.Owen.

&#x20;

Owen: Yeah.I think in the web3 industry,

&#x20;

the first problem we'd like to solve,I think we have two targets.

&#x20;

The first one is the decentralized ID and the second one is the privacy computing.

&#x20;

We chose that.

&#x20;

We choose them.

&#x20;

I think there are some reasons for that.

&#x20;

And the first one is the decentralized ID and

&#x20;

Privacy computing is both very important in the web3 industry.

&#x20;

And the second reason is we have already have some base work in this industry.

&#x20;

For example, our finger vein scanning

&#x20;

technologies, I think it should be used in the DID projects.

&#x20;

I think it may contribute to the decentralized ID system.

&#x20;

And on the other hand, our MANTA is a perfect solution for private computing.

&#x20;

I think maybe in the future we can do some work to change our MANTA platform and

&#x20;

make it suitable for the privacy computing in the Web3 world.

&#x20;

Yeah, that's my question.

&#x20;

That's my answer.

&#x20;

Eric: Thanks Owen.

&#x20;

So you are quite exciting as Nofear that you say you question.

&#x20;

All right, so No fear Owen, just answer your question and as a

&#x20;

matter of fact, Owen mentioned two parts,that is the DID and also the

&#x20;

privacy computing, things like that and we're going to release our MATRIX 3.0

&#x20;

roadmap soon and I think we can solve more problems on top of this too.

&#x20;

Yeah so it will be very exciting and as you said, so stay tuned and I think we will

&#x20;

release very soon and hopefully yourNo fear will be really Nofear.

&#x20;

Okay, good.Thank you.

&#x20;

And then the second question from

&#x20;

Doug\_funny ,Owen like you say, the id finger one wallet.

&#x20;

Will the Bio wallet create a Soulbound

&#x20;

token which was proposed by Vitalik, that is a non transferable web3 identity?

&#x20;

Yeah, very good question and as I said in the beginning, the quality of question is

&#x20;

getting better and better and we regret receiving such questions.

&#x20;

Thank you.Thanks Doug\_funny..

&#x20;

Owen and hand over to you.

&#x20;

Owen: Yeah, I think at first the bio wallet I

&#x20;

think it is very suitable for the Web3 identity.

&#x20;

So we have the same

&#x20;

opinion about this and about the Soulbound token which is

&#x20;

proposed by the colleagues.I think it's a very good and interesting solution for the DID.

&#x20;

But we haven't decided to add it into our Bio wallet system.

&#x20;

Maybe we will add it or not.

&#x20;

We haven't made this decision but before

&#x20;

that the first job for us to if we can join our finger vein scan

&#x20;

technologies into the DID system,that's the first thing we need to do.

&#x20;

After that we like to spend more time

&#x20;

to design the ecosystem for the idea.

&#x20;

So then we will decide whether we will add the Soul bound token into it or not.

&#x20;

Eric: Okay, good.Thank you.

&#x20;

Move on from Morphine Cloud.

&#x20;

This is the question,please bear with me a bit longer.

&#x20;

Who are the competitors of MATRIXin blockchain space in your opinion?

&#x20;

So this is the first question and this question I think we have addressed before

&#x20;

Could MATRIX compete with Singularity Network (AGIX)?.

&#x20;

So this is the key part of the question so

&#x20;

Owen let's forget about the first part of the question about the competitors because

&#x20;

we have addressed those before and also in our article series.

&#x20;

So the essence of this question is

&#x20;

commissions compete with singularity lead and the Singularity is interoperable by

&#x20;

Leveraging Ethereum an dCardano blockchains.

&#x20;

Is Matrix gonna build a bridge to

&#x20;

communicate with other blockchains and to be interoperable.

&#x20;

And Singularity has made

&#x20;

the famous robot called Sophia couldMatrix build robots just like them ?.

&#x20;

Thank you.Yeah, very interesting question.

&#x20;

Morphin.Yeah.

&#x20;

Owen?

&#x20;

Yeah.

&#x20;

Owen: First, I think the Singularity is a different project with the Matrix.

&#x20;

And the main job they are doing is they can build a bridge between the different

&#x20;

platform which makes all of the platform communication with each other.

&#x20;

That's how Singularity works.

&#x20;

But Matrix, in our opinion, we'd like to eat first one of our main function is we

&#x20;

can offer, we can output the decentralized computing power.

&#x20;

So in the near future we'd like to make our decentralized computing power can

&#x20;

be used in different platforms such asEtherium or Cardano or something else.

&#x20;

We would like to develop some tools for the users from different platforms.

&#x20;

They can use our computing powers in

&#x20;

different blockchain oron different platform.

&#x20;

For the last questions,

&#x20;

I think the robot is different with the intelligent artificial intelligence.

&#x20;

In fact, they are very different.

&#x20;

We can't build any robot like Sofia

&#x20;

right now, but our AI algorithm can do many more things than you think.

&#x20;

Yeah, I think yeah.

&#x20;

Eric: Thank you, Owen.

&#x20;

So, Owen, please allow me to leaksomething or share something

&#x20;

Morphin, you mentioned about the robot calledSophia and in our Matrix 3.0. We use it here.

&#x20;

Okay, so you stay tuned with that.

&#x20;

Thank you.

&#x20;

Coming from Amazir07, Do you have a release date for Matrix 3.0?

&#x20;

Owen: Yes, we are working on the Matrix 3.0

&#x20;

roadmap in the past month and we almost finished this work.

&#x20;

I think we will release the whole roadmap in the near future.

&#x20;

Then you will figure out all the exact

&#x20;

data for all the important milestones in our new roadmap.

&#x20;

Eric: OK, thanks.

&#x20;

I mentioned that very clearly.

&#x20;

For the past month we have been spending a lot of effort setting down our direction

&#x20;

for Matrix 3.0 because we thinkHays makes waste and the direction is critical

&#x20;

because it takes our direction for the coming years.

&#x20;

And it is worth our time and effort to

&#x20;

think clearly of where we are going to lead the Matrix 3.0 into.

&#x20;

And we have a lot of meetings and a lot of

&#x20;

discussions and disagreements,things like that.

&#x20;

And finally we have reached to a stage that we are almost done with the so called

&#x20;

white paper or roadmap,and it will be ready soon.

&#x20;

I cannot disclose too much.

&#x20;

Just stay tuned with that and I'm sure you will like it.

&#x20;

Thanks to the brain of Owen and also other colleagues for their collective wisdoms

&#x20;

for the direction of Matrix 3.0. And our technique this time is

&#x20;

into the Matrix and think about the Matrix, the name itself.

&#x20;

Okay, that's all I can share with you right now.

&#x20;

And Owen just mentioned it would be released soon.

&#x20;

So just wait.

&#x20;

All right, getting to another Matrixians called diffuse soup.

&#x20;

When is GPU mining going to go live?

&#x20;

This will start to add computing power to the network.

&#x20;

And if the rewards for use of the computing power are high enough to be

&#x20;

profitable, then it could bring plenty of users to the network.

&#x20;

Yeah, that's the business model.

&#x20;

Exactly. Owen

&#x20;

Owen: Yeah.I just mentioned in the first question.

&#x20;

We just released the guide document

&#x20;

about how to install theManta on your machines today.

&#x20;

After that we will do some other testing work.

&#x20;

Yeah After the testing, we will start the business running.

&#x20;

I think we would like to introduce lots of

&#x20;

the DB business partner and the business owners who will rent

&#x20;

the computing power from our network.

&#x20;

Then your GPU computing power will be

&#x20;

released to the customers and then you will get released.

&#x20;

I think the time will

&#x20;

be very soon and we'd like to save and it can launch it as soon as possible.

&#x20;

Eric: Okay.

&#x20;

BozKurt.

&#x20;

Another hardcore Matrixians in community.

&#x20;

He got a question.

&#x20;

If data centers are set up to provide

&#x20;

Matrix AI computing resources, does every looked in the data center need to stack

&#x20;

10,000 MAN in order to participate in the network Owen?

&#x20;

Owen: Yes,

&#x20;

at the very beginning, because we need to guarantee our service college,

&#x20;

which means we need to offer the output the stable GPU computing power.

&#x20;

So at the very beginning, I think the data

&#x20;

center needs to stake the MAN coin at first,

&#x20;

l think in the after we have running for a while, if i have got a very good relationship

&#x20;

and a partnership and we have enough the company, our network, I don't think

&#x20;

staking is necessary,then maybe we will remove it.

&#x20;

Eric: So it's just a matter of time and just a

&#x20;

consideration that we want to have a better quality at the very beginning.

&#x20;

That's why we want people to stake as a

&#x20;

kind of guarantee or depositor things like that.

&#x20;

And that's the rationale.

&#x20;

And now we get to the last question.

&#x20;

This is from Young Savior.Okay.

&#x20;

The question is that is Which one of these aspects is important for you?

&#x20;

So it's multiple choice questions.

&#x20;

You can select more than one answer, by the way.

&#x20;

A increasing token price and value empowering platform development

&#x20;

c building Community Trust expanding partnership globally.

&#x20;

All right, so this is a multiple choice

&#x20;

and feel free to select one or two or three or four answers.Owen

&#x20;

Owen: Yeah, that's an interesting question.

&#x20;

I think all of them are very important for our projects and our community.

&#x20;

At first I think in parallel, platform development

&#x20;

will increase our projects value and also it

&#x20;

will make our Community Trust us more andalso expand the partnership globally.

&#x20;

And it will bring our business value and also build our Community Trust.

&#x20;

I think if we will do all the

&#x20;

work right and the token price will grow to its proper position.

&#x20;

So I think all of them are very important for us and the most important

&#x20;

thing is we need to do our job as good as possible. Alright

&#x20;

Eric: So do our job, do a good job first.

&#x20;

In the meantime,

&#x20;

build a charge from community education, providing transparency and also

&#x20;

expanding the partnerships for wider use of our services.

&#x20;

And the price will be affected in a positive way.

&#x20;

But as usual, we won't comment too much on

&#x20;

the price up and down because the market itself is quite fluctuate, especially

&#x20;

after the incidents two weeks ago, two or three weeks ago.

&#x20;

So, the most important thing for us and to you is we as the project team, set up our feet

&#x20;

and do our work and do a good job and have a farfetched vision to guide the project.

&#x20;

And those are the important things.

&#x20;

And I do think, Young\_saviour, when you

&#x20;

come up with this question, you do have your own answers already and your answers

&#x20;

is close to ours, just kind of timing or priority.

&#x20;

So that's all the question coming from theMatrixian that we screened for this AMA.

&#x20;

And there is one suggestion coming from

&#x20;

another Matrixian saying that we have to give rewards to those who help to test.

&#x20;

And I do agree with that and we will consider.

&#x20;

But please do not expect there will be

&#x20;

a lot of rewards for doing test tasks because we want to involve you in the

&#x20;

testing stage and to treat you as part of the project.

&#x20;

So, yeah, and we do appreciate your word

&#x20;

and that's why we will consider your suggestion.

&#x20;

Thank you.

&#x20;

And So we have answered all these questions

&#x20;

and our 2.0 roadmap is wrapping up and

&#x20;

Do you want to drink something Owen?

&#x20;

Do you want to drink a champagne or something like that to celebrate?

&#x20;

And then, yeah, as I said,our Matrix 3.0 is coming up and we will

&#x20;

present in a PowerPoint format with therationales and the Faces and roadmap.

&#x20;

So just stay tuned.

&#x20;

And thank you for the Matrixian for

&#x20;

submitting the questions,whether it's selected or not.

&#x20;

And thanks to our CEO for your time and

&#x20;

also your patience and your explanation to questions.

&#x20;

Thanks for that.

&#x20;

And yeah, it's my pleasure to answer questions.

&#x20;

Okay, so we're going to end this ama, and take care and stay safe.

&#x20;

Bye.

&#x20;
