OCTOBER | FREE-SHOOTING AMA

November 1, 2025

MATRIX CMTO Eric : Welcome everyone to the very first Freeshot AMA of Matrix AI Network. This is a new format for us — different from our usual video or text-based AMAs. Today, everything happens live, right here in the chat. You can ask directly, we’ll pick questions live, and Owen will answer them in real time.

MATRIX CEO Owen : Hi everyone

MATRIX CMTO Eric : We’ll have three freeshot rounds today.

In each round, the question window will open for Two minutes, during which you can send in your questions. Then we’ll close the window, select TWO, and let Owen answer them live.

At the end, we’ll have a poll about inspiring questions from the community.

MATRIX CEO Owen : Im ready for that

MATRIX CMTO Eric : Owen, before we dive into open questions, let’s start simple.

First — how’s the weather in Beijing these days?

MATRIX CEO Owen : Beijing's weather has now entered winter, with daily temperatures hovering around the single digits above zero. This time of year typically brings poor weather conditions, usually accompanied by varying degrees of haze or smog—and this year is no exception.

MATRIX CMTO Eric : Sounds like perfect weather to stay productive. Now, for the second warm-up — could you summarize the key progress Matrix has made over the past two months?

MATRIX CEO Owen : Alright, MATRIX's work over the past two months has primarily focused on three areas. The first involves optimizing and upgrading existing products. For instance, we recently upgraded our intelligent contract platform. On one hand, we enhanced its core to improve the usability of generated contracts and boost generation efficiency. On the other hand, we optimized its user interface to better align with user trial habits. Additionally, we are progressively refining Morpheus's model and rolling out new algorithms for MetaTron.

Second, we are exploring new avenues and developing new products as part of our experimental efforts.

For instance, we are adding RWA-related templates to our intelligent contract platform and building an RWA-specific vector database. This initiative aims to position the intelligent contract platform to play a role in the upcoming RWA economic wave, thereby lowering the barrier to entry for users entering the RWA space.

We are also exploring other types of products, such as MAC, aiming to leverage AI to create useful crypto investment tools for users.

Thirdly, MATRIX is also actively developing its ecosystem. In this recent phase, MetaTron's ecosystem represents a crucial future development direction for MATRIX. Consequently, we have devoted significant time and resources to supporting MetaTron's earliest developers.

That's about it.

MATRIX CMTO Eric : Thanks, that gives everyone a clear picture of where we are. Let’s move into the live Q&A part.

We’ll start with Round 1.

The question window is now open. You can post your questions directly in this chat — please send one question per message so we can read them clearly.

You have two minutes. After that, we’ll close the window and begin answering live.

Time’s up for Round 1. The question window is now closed. Let’s look at some of the questions from the community.

Q : As Hong Kong positions itself as a crypto-friendly financial hub with its progressive stablecoin and RWA regulations, how might its approach create a regulatory 'middle path' between the stringent oversight of the U.S. SEC and the more permissive frameworks of jurisdictions like Dubai? What geopolitical and economic factors could either amplify or undermine its influence, particularly in emerging markets ( Kayode )

MATRIX CEO Owen : Hong Kong has indeed charted a middle ground in regulation between the United States and Dubai by adopting a “prudently open” approach to overseeing stablecoins and RWA (real-world assets tokenized on blockchain). It emphasizes compliance and transparency—such as licensing systems and audit requirements—while also preserving space for innovation to prevent overregulation from stifling market vitality.

This strategy enables Hong Kong to serve as a “bridge” within East Asia's financial system: maintaining compatibility with Western regulatory standards while attracting capital from emerging markets in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and also accommodating the potential future entry of mainland China's markets into this sector.

Geopolitically, the U.S.-China rivalry, shifts in the dollar's global status, and regional economic cooperation initiatives like the RCEP all shape Hong Kong's policy space. Economically, the internationalization of the renminbi, the influx of virtual asset institutions, and growing demand from Asian investors for compliant crypto products are key drivers amplifying its influence.

Done.

Q : When will the first ecosystem application, Hypnus, officially launch? Given that the Hypnus hardware device will be available for sale, will MATRIX generate real revenue from these sales? If yes, will that revenue be in MAN tokens? How will this contribute to MAN’s value? ( Berat )

MATRIX CEO Owen : As far as I know, hypnus's preliminary work is essentially nearing completion, and the product's presale should commence shortly. The core chip module of hypnus utilizes MetaTron, so they will purchase this hardware component using MAN. In the future, when hypnus products employ MetaTron-related algorithms executed on MANTA, as well as when hypnus stores data using the IPFS component on the MATRIX chain, settlement will require the use of MAN.

Over.

MATRIX CMTO Eric :That was a solid first round. Great start and good mix of RWA and NeuraMATRIX questions. Let’s continue to the next round.

Round 2 begins now. The question window is open again.

This time, you can focus on anything related to Matrix’s ecosystem, partnerships, or upcoming developments — or just ask what you’re most curious about.

We’ll keep it open for two minutes.

Round 2 window is now closed. Let’s go through a few of the questions submitted.

Please select two answers, Mr. TAO

Q : What makes M.A.C. different from other AI tools that claim to read market trends?

( cinna )

MATRIX CEO Owen : Unlike conventional AI trading tools that rely solely on a single algorithm, M.A.C. is built as a collaborative system comprising a multi-agent team. This team includes agents specialized in fundamental research, data analysis and modeling, as well as risk and sentiment monitoring. With clearly defined roles and real-time collaboration, they collectively develop a more comprehensive and dynamic understanding of market trends, thereby delivering smarter and more reliable investment decision support.

Over.

Q : As a China-based project, will MATRIX expand into the Chinese (Hong Kong) market? How well-known is MATRIX in Hong Kong? If it’s not yet widely recognized there, what is your promotional strategy to reach local users and investors? ( Metin )

MATRIX CEO Owen : Currently, MATRIX is actively expanding its business into the Hong Kong market. Hong Kong's open financial system and increasingly robust regulatory framework for virtual assets—including stablecoins and Real-World Assets (RWA)—align perfectly with MATRIX's strategic focus on “AI × Blockchain × Financial Innovation.”

Currently, MATRIX is still in the process of building its brand awareness in Hong Kong, primarily focusing on the blockchain and AI professional sectors. We are developing exemplary application scenarios through collaborations with local licensed institutions, family offices, and university laboratories. Simultaneously, MATRIX places greater emphasis on integrating into Hong Kong's Web3 ecosystem as a foundational technology provider, offering AI and blockchain infrastructure support to local enterprises and projects. We continue to enhance our brand visibility and industry influence through events such as FinTech Week.

Over.

MATRIX CMTO Eric : Excellent discussion. The community clearly has been following closely — thank you for the thoughtful questions.

We’ll move on to the final round.

This is our third and final freeshot round.

You can now ask any question — technical, ecosystem-related, regulatory, or long-term vision.

We’ll keep the question window open.

Time’s up for the final round. Let’s pick two last questions to close the session. Please, Mr. Tao

Q : Are you doing any simulations for the potential of the network to evolve into a self-governing digital civilization in the future? ( Mebloks )

MATRIX CEO Owen : Currently, we have not conducted simulation research on the “evolution of the internet into a self-governing digital civilization.” MATRIX's core direction has always been to position AI as intelligent assistants for users in the Web3 world, rather than independent digital entities. Our focus lies in enhancing users' survival and decision-making efficiency in virtual worlds through projects like Avatar Intelligence, enabling AI to truly become extensions and collaborative partners for humanity—not replacement systems or self-evolving entities.

Over.

Q : With the goal of becoming a key infrastructure provider in Hong Kong, which Web3 wallet will MATRIX collaborate with? Will it be a well-known and widely used Web3 wallet, an exchange-based wallet (such as OKX or Binance Web3 Wallet), or a third-party wallet (like MetaMask or Trust Wallet)? when ? ( Enrique )

MATRIX CEO Owen : We currently have a potential partner with whom we are discussing strategic directions for collaboration. While not a highly recognized wallet brand, they already have a substantial user base. They aim to establish a foothold in Hong Kong to develop RWA business, aligning with our own objectives—this shared vision forms the foundation of our partnership. Technologically, our capabilities are highly complementary. No final deal has been reached yet, but we will promptly share updates with everyone once concrete news emerges. We hope it will be good news!

Over.

MATRIX CMTO Eric : We’ve had a productive discussion today.

Owen, thank you for sharing updates and taking time to answer these questions.

Owen, any final thoughts before we conclude?

MATRIX CEO Owen : We sincerely thank everyone for your continued support of MATRIX. The world is currently undergoing profound transformations in politics, economics, and technology, with a new landscape emerging. MATRIX is actively adapting to this wave, continuously refining our direction and strategic positioning. Whether in artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, or Real-World Assets (RWA), these fields hold immense potential for growth.

We are not only committed to continuously delivering new technological achievements, but also strive to create an innovative ecosystem with greater long-term value by integrating these cutting-edge technologies. Moving forward, we look forward to joining hands with you all to pioneer a new era for MATRIX through transformative collaboration.
