I used to be hardcore gamer in my school and college days, Post college I started my own game design studio and animation institute
In 2014 i started playing poker professionally and moved to Sweden to pursue poker
Past 2 years I’ve been actively involved in the crypto space and working on various projects, so when Gamepad happened it was like reigniting the old passion for gaming
I honestly can’t wait to get the ball rolling with Gamepad

Q1. Can you start us off with brief description about Gamepad and its mission?
Eric | Gamepad.co GMT +8
Gamepad.co is a decentralized accelerator for web3 games and metaverses. Thru our platform > we incubate, launch, offer staking, nft sales and help community engagement. we plan to launch the next big thing in web3 games and metaverses using our experience as a fund and incubator for the last 4 years

Q2. Can you elaborate on the benefits available to both projects and investors at your platform?
Eric | Gamepad.co GMT +8
For projects, they find a platform supported by a council that is laser focused on games and metaverses and nfts. then we offer a marketing infrastructure that is broad.
Launchpad that is erc20 first then bsc, and solana soon. with unique features like a staking platform and an nft lottery ticket platform.
The projects can also see wallet analytics to reward good participants to give them perks and airdrops as the project is being developed
For stakers, they can find a launchpad platform that will curate the best projects and one that also ranks good long term investor behavior.
Done

Q3. What’s the utility of $GPAD and how does one aquire it ?
Abr
GPAD is our deflationary token that will determine the allocation a staker gets on our accelerated project’s IDO / public sale. It will also have uses in acquiring Lottery tickets to buy or mint scarce NFTs from the project. Fees from early yield withdrawal will also be paid in GPAD.
More uses are planned as we build up the platform overtime.
We will be having an LBP sale at copperlaunch.com after that it will be listed on a DEX and CEX. it will be an erc20 token.
After the LBP sale at Copperlaunch on early April, we will quickly enable our staking platform then introduce our first Spotlight IDO in early April then we will debut our NFT genesispad. Our Community IDOs will come next.
In May, we will debut our BSC support then Solana after that

$GPAD is our deflationary token that will determine the allocation a staker gets on the next accelerated project’s IDO / public sale. GPAD stakers can also vote on who to IDO next and on proposals.
It will also have uses in acquiring Lottery tickets to buy or mint scarce NFTs from the project. Fees from early yield withdrawal will also be paid in GPAD.
More uses are planned as we build up the platform overtime.
Any earnings we have thru GPAD will be used to buy back and burn so the bigger we get the scarcer the GPAD supply will be.
To acquire GPAD:
We will be having an LBP sale at copperlaunch.com after that it will be listed on a DEX and CEX. it will be an erc20 token.

Questions asked on Twitter for Gamepad team!

@langitberwarna
What is the different GamePad from other launchpads? Does the GamePad have connections to guilds, DAOs, and influencers? How will GamePad provide branding, marketing, tokenomics, and strategic guidance, to help projects to have the biggest community?
Eric | Gamepad.co GMT +8
Gamepad is unique in that it is focused not just on the IDO part but improving the fundamentals like tokenomics. we also help until after the IDO with its built in staking, nft genesispad and other features like a Social hub to see updates and rank wallets that has supported the project for long terms.
Yes, We are connected to the major guilds and communities. And all of what u mentioned are part of our acceleration.
Abr
One thing id like to add is that our support extends post launch as well, motivating investors to hold long term and actively get involved with projects which leads to. better relationship between investors and projects

Gaming and DeFi are popping up everywhere. Many crypto teams are also offering NFTs. Please explain why #Gamepad will be one to survive and not just fade away? How do you keep users on your platform for the long term and how do you keep your platform ahead of the competition?
Eric | Gamepad.co GMT +8
We are an accelerator of Gaming and Metaverse projects only and will have features that arent present in other generic launchpads.
We believe the ecosystem can support many launchpads with different strengths and weaknesses. Thru our expert curation and support, stakers can expect a higher quality of projects launching thru us
We have a lot of really creative plans to make this a special platform including having our own PFP collection that will become the basis of a meta game that will incorporate elements or characters from games launching on Gamepad.co
imagine a sort of Super Smash bros of games / metaverses that launched on Gamepad.co

@Katherine_DLa
Can you tell us the motivation and benefits for investors to hold you in long term? What plans do you have to help drive demand and scarcity for the token? What things your team going to do to change the Vietnam project mindset?
Eric | Gamepad.co GMT +8
We aim to provide unique and exclusive projects that many will want to participate in and the only way to do so is to stake GPAD.
We designed it to be deflationary so the demand will outpace the supply. Add to that the various staking mechanism and GPAD as fees. we think its a good idea to hold on to GPAD for long term.
We have a council that will help us curate projects not just from a surface level but on all angles thru our special due diligence so only the top ones get to be our Spotlight IDOs

Gamepad focuses on motivating launchpad participants to becoming long term holders by staking/holding in order to improve their GP score which gives them various benefits in future sales and platform incentives
Some benefits examples are tickets to purchase premiere ingame NFTs, lottery tickets to NFT sales, etc
Something unique we are doing for our valuable holders is our VIP room, giving access NFT drops, free prizes, community IDO voting, Gamepad merchandise and many more rewards

@se147in @ERCSU
Firstly, Congratulation for this awesome achievement i hope it gonna more further.
I read in your medium article that gamepad has raised $2.5 Million through the seed round. what are the next steps for Gamepad? What goals will you pursue next? What effect will this partners have on the various features of your project?And how will you ensure that the money received from the seed round is well spent and spent in the right way to help create bigger values to investors?
Eric | Gamepad.co GMT+8
Yes we did raise $2.5m seed round with Okx Blockdream and Enjin.io leading the round.
we also have top influencers, funds, exchange, and guilds in the round.
We plan to build out features that support our misison of nurturing the next Axie infinity.
All the funds raised will be pushed towards achieving that mission

Do you have Whitepaper if yes, please share it with as secondly do you have plans for pre-sale? Now where can we Join it?
Abr
The whitepaper can be found on our website our public sale will be on Copperlaunch and will be announced soon
Q.6 [J Mags]
Part GamePad’s plans this month of March is to enable the “GPSCORE Tier”. Can you please enlighten us to what is this GPSCORE Tier is all about? How does this tier system works on your platform and launchpad?
Eric | Gamepad.co GMT+8
GP Score is an algorithm that assigns a score to wallet that act like long term investors.
they participate
2. they staked the tokens
3. they buy more of the tokens when it lists
4. buy nfts, and more
high gpscore wallet will be preferred by projects over time and get special perks
Q.7 [Vu Linh]
A blockchain technology/world is also available for gamers to switch into, but they aren’t aware of it because they are busy playing games.
Now the question is, how are you going to educate the gamers who have no idea about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology?
Abr
Very good question
In order to understand this we need to understand where crypto gaming stands as compared to the traditional gaming world, and IMO we are at a very early stage and a few years behind vs the traditional industry
This will change over time as more companies get involved and the exposure to the traditional gamers increases
At Gamepad we are actively working with guilds and also have plans to work with communities and teams from non crypto gaming industry
With the kind of projects we have lined up, and the marketing plans in place, I am confident we will be able to bridge this gap quite soon
Q.8 [ Kingsolomonll]
You said;
For projects, they find a platform supported by a council that is laser focused on games and metaverses and nfts. then we offer a marketing infrastructure that is broad. What plans do #GPAD have for the Non-Crypto users, since the market is more saturated by them? and Is there any benefit for them if #GPAD succeed?
Thank you 😊😊
Eric | Gamepad.co GMT+8
We have partnerships with Streamers and have advisors that came from EA, King.com and might be even an ex-Blizzard advisors. as we care about gameplay more than anything in the games we will launch
