INTRODUCTION:

Ibrar Rasheed:

1-Zebec’s ecology involves how many segments?

jj ortiz:

Zebec has a lot of projects in its ecosystem and range from different types of genres. From Defi, to Tooling, to Gamefi, to NFTs and even a Web3 Sneaker companies. We have a large portion of partners over in the Solana ecosystem since we have been in the SOL ecosystem since our inception. As we have expanded onto BSC, we are looking to keep our expansion going to these sectors as well, and work with them by providing our solutions — as well as integrating our token.

Ibrar Rasheed:

2-How does ZBC operate or circulate within these ecosystems?

jj ortiz:

ZBC is Zebec’s governance token and the token that will be fueling our ecosystem. Once the Zebec Card launches — our ZBC Cash Back Staking Program will release with it. This will incentivize people to use our card and purchase/buy ZBC. By buying X amount of ZBC, you will classify into a specific Tier. Depending on what Tier you are in, you will receive a certain amount of Cashback in ZBC tokens. People will also be able to purchase IRL with their Visa using ZBC tokens.

On top of that, ZBC will be the governance token of the Zebec Chain. Every project that builds on Zebec Chain, will have to hold ZBC to pay for Transactions and be a part of the ecosystem. This will not only incentivize people to buy ZBC, but also hold. The more the Zebec Chain grows, the better for ZBC!

Ibrar Rasheed:

3-Can you help us interpret how zebec cooperates with magna, SecondLive, and pancake in conjunction with zbc’s operation model?

jj ortiz:

Zebec has projects we work with on a constant basis. In terms of Magna, that was a project that we worked with even before I started so I don’t have alot of answers regarding that. I know they helped us on the tech side of things.

We have partnered with Secondlive and we were integrated onto their Metaverse ecosystem. We are currently working on finding some other ways of working together.

For Pancake — we were supposed to have an auction farm a few weeks ago but got postponed. You guys can follow us on Twitter for anything that might happen with them.

We are working with a lot of projects to try and get some pools going with our ZBC token. We have recently partnered with Izumi, XY Finance and will be releasing a partnership soon with OpenOcean

Ibrar Rasheed:

4- Since $zbc is the only oil burning fee in the zebec ecosystem, what are its consumption and release mechanisms?

jj ortiz:

ZBC’s total supply is 10b and it will release linearly w/in 3yrs and have the power to be prevented as per governance votes if community feels the team is not performing well.

People will also be able to pay with ZBC on the debit card and want to make that one of our main currencies supported on our Card, incentivizing people to pay with ZBC. Once ZBC is spent for Cash, it should help with the burning of the token

Ibrar Rasheed:

5-Zebec has built such a large ecology, and the zebec chain is a public chain, will the projects incubated in the later stage give airdrop to the holders of zbc?

jj ortiz:
It is something we are definitely interested in doing especially as we start onboarding projects from other blockchains. I think the way we will do it is as incentives for our Zepoch Holders, we want to be able to provide them the most benefits for validating tx’s that happen in the Chain.

Therefore — projects that onboard with us that have their own token, we will explore performing airdrops to our Zepoch Node holders. If y’all are looking to purchase and be a part of the ecossytem and blockchain and own a node and gain passive income, you guys should go to our website and check it out!

TWITTER QUESTIONS:

Ibrar Rasheed:

1: I read that Visa has incorporated the first project Solana to its Fast Track program, and that project is #Zebec. What impact has this new Zebec listing with Visa generated?

jj ortiz:
Absolutely. I think it has generated alot of excitement in the community bc it adds another branch of products we can offer.

All of our products are targeted for B2B specifically in the Web3 sector. Adding a Debit Card adds a retail product that anybody can use and even attracts people that want to get into the space. We are super excited for the release

Ibrar Rasheed:

2: Zebec Pay is a low-cost payment solution that allows employees to be paid by their employers in seconds. Does this mean that Zebec’s payment will review some kind of an employment agreement between the employer and the worker before the worker begins his or her duties?

jj ortiz:

The company that wants to work with us and providing Zebec as an option of payment for their employee will have to disclose that with the employees themselves. Zebec is a great option for people that want to get paid in crypto, and if the employee chooses to be paid in Crypto — companies can use Zebec for that. The company will disclose this to the employee and as long as the employee.

For now, we don’t do agreements if a company wants to use our App. They can go to our website and use it. As we keep growing, we have thought of adding more premium features and some pay structure around it for those premium feats

Ibrar Rasheed:

3: With regards to DEBIT CARD, is it going to be a physical or virtual card? And if it is a physical card, will you be able to ship it directly to every user in their various region?

jj ortiz:
there will be two types of cards, virtual and physical cards. Two different regions will be supported, EU and US. The EU will launch first.

As long as the user has an ID from either the EU or US, he will be eligible for a card. They don’t necessarily have to live in those countries to use the card, as they will work anywhere were Visa and Mastercard are accepted

Ibrar Rasheed:

4: Partnerships are very important to the Zebec Protocol ecosystem, but why so much relevance, is there a common focus and interest for each new partnership, and also are each of the new and recent partnerships that have been finalized partnerships with clear long-term visions?

jj ortiz:
Great questions. A lot of the partnerships within the Solana space are more for them wanting to use some part of our product suite (Multisig, Payment Streams, etc.). We are still developing the dapp and have mulitple features that are going to be releasing as time goes on (Dapp store, DCA, etc.)

Partners in both SOL and BSC know about our future projects and features so they want to be integrated some type of way. Also, we have our token and as we have expanded onto BSC — we want to be able to add it to as many places as possible, making it accessible to as many people as we can.

Ibrar Rasheed:

5: We can convert my Zebec balance into real world cash. But which are the banking entities in the world or FIAT currencies that allow me to do this exchange?

jj ortiz:
Right now if you want to withdraw USDC or any sort of currency that is sent to you through Zebec, you have to withdraw from Zebec, then convert into USDC/USDT and then send to an exchange to withdraw from there.

We are actively working with a provider to integrate off ramping straight from the Dapp to move $ to the bank asap, as well as a Swap feature — to make it as easy as possible for our clients to move money and swap tokens

LIVE AMA QUESTIONS:

Patrick Carlin:

Where can I buy your tokens now, is it available on any exchange and do you have a platform to earn this token?

jj ortiz:
You guys can go to Bitmart, Crypto.com, Gemini and OKX for our token

Shams:
Please tell me if your project is only for English speakers? Then are you planning to promote your project in countries / regions where English is not good? Do you have a local community for them to better understand your project?

jj ortiz:
we are worldwide and have communities all over the world. Go to our link3.to/zebec and check our groups out

Jisan:
According to the roadmap, what are your most important next priorities? Do you have enough funds and a strong community to achieve this goal?

jj ortiz:
Our next plans are to keep developing V2, as well as release the Debit Card. I think the Debit Card will be our main priority for the time being. Also — we are expanding to other blockchains such as Near and building our own blockchain

JOHN:
