Can you introduce yourself to the Generation Crypto community? What is your background and how did you come to the idea to create fantomGO?

Ryan|Co-founder

Hi my name is Ryan and I am the Co-Founder of fantomGO.

A little bit about me, I spent the last few years working on many projects in various industries across a multitude of channels including Gaming, SaaS, Blockchain, Digital Real Estate, Solar and Music. I started to work within the crypto field in the earlier days or Tor, if giving Doge etc count as a learning experience after mining in 2013 then that’s funny to mention..

I previously was a Growth Engineering Strategist for companies such as Teamspeak, BasePaws, and Vivint Solar. Having explored the opportunities and seeing the growth of Fantom, Daron my Co-founder and I teamed up to build out an established leader to accelerate the Fantom Ecosystem. I can’t claim it all as we have some amazing advisors in the shadow as well.

Can you briefly describe what is fantomGO’s in 3–5 sentences? And what is your Mission and Vision?

Ryan|Co-founder

fantomGO is a community-driven ecosystem builder designed to accelerate the Fantom ecosystem. Through building a suite of products and initiatives, fantomGO aims to help innovators build, launch and scale their ideas today.

The first product is a decentralized fundraising platform (launchpad) that allows the core community to participate and support early-stage projects building on fantom, giving projects an effective way to kick start activity from engaged network participants.

Our major targets are non-crypto natives. We want mass adoption, it’s the only way for the people to have a voice, the more people behind crypto, the better. That’s why we have our Academy, it’s a crypto education platform made to teach non-crypto natives every aspect of crypto in a gamified and incentivized manner. It’s going to be like Duolingo, but from crypto.

There are a number of initiatives that we will announce in the coming weeks, but the main use case is to enable active participation from the community, to high quality vetted projects building on Fantom.

Right now we have an active participation to earn competition to reward early adopters and those committed to participate in things like furthering crypto literacy and diving further into the more complex areas of blockchain development. We also reward things like meme makers yay!

The community will also be able to vote on what projects launch on fantomGO because community inclusion is so important to us.

Can you name competitors? What are the main competitive advantages of fantomGO?

Ryan|Co-founder

I do not like to name drop but we are not like the others. I think we are one of a few Launchpads that have great partnerships with great companies like KuCoin. We are excited to release news soon about other partnerships and alliances we have made recently. Our Founder Daron also spoke at the Fantom Developer conference in Abu Dhabi. Main Stage.

Overall, fantomGO is more than a launchpad. We have support products that will sustain it without launching projects. And with our participate-to-earn model, it includes the community through every phase of our products. Which allows us to grow at an accelerated rate.

We are working with some of the best teams we could find and are making teams and alliances to further collectively find ways to add value to a growing ecosystem.

We have sought out strong groups to assist in things like reviewing projects fully before they launch, which is important to us as a launchpad.

For Teams, the protocol provides a seamless way to bootstrap liquidity, raise capital and reach early adopters of the Fantom community.

For Contributors, the protocol provides a transparent and efficient way to access high-quality projects.

The more you participate and contribute, the higher in the rankings you go and hence, in turn, more $FTG tokens you can earn from a total share of $FTG tokens. Developer Bootcamp: Our developer Bootcamp acts as a springboard for web2 developers to enter web3. The devs from the Boot Camp are placed on projects or they can start their own.

Academy: Our Academy is. Crypto education platform that engages and rewards students through their learning journey so these are just the beginnings of this amazing ecosystem we are building. Even our current PTE competition has thousands of daily users.
