Roman Tsarovsky Announcements at the start:

Sure! Hello everyone. Glad you are all here. Glad to answer all your questions! I would like to make the following announcements before we start:

1. We have been really busy over the last 2 months. We have over 20 brands sign up and join the Ally Ecosystem here in the US

2. That accounts for about 400 more locations on our platform

3. We have been really busy working on our Scribe Platform. We will soon announce the Test Winners. These users will be able to earn DRCT for translating applications, and documents for the US and other businesses.

4. We are about 50% done with our POS Ally application. This application will allow businesses to run operations, interact with physical customers and allow merchants to accept DRCT and other Cryptos IN STORE!!! This is very exciting because it will bring DRCT to physical locations here in the US and allow for users to physically transact in DRCT at their favorite store/restaurants.

5. As you all know, I have been out of the country (US) launching our operations in Armenia!! I was there for about 1.5 months. We are happy to say that this was an absolute success. Unfortunately, businesses and drivers all over the world are suffering from the same problems.

We have onboarded 5 new brands which we will be announcing in the coming weeks and the launch of their Web, IOS, and Android applications.

We have also seen a huge demand from the driving workforce in Armenia, with over 5000 people signing up on Ally within the first 3 weeks of being there. As we are still building operations, currently this is only a Waiting list, but we are happy to say we have over 10,000 drivers on the waiting list. It’s a great start!

6. Over the past 2 months we have made some amazing improvements to our Applications and Technologies to empower people all over the world! We now support any fiat currency with the integration with DRCT. Our applications are now completely multi-lingual

Now follow the Questions from Community Members and Answers from Roman

Q1: On the roadmap on your website we can see you want to expand to other countries like Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Armenia, and Russia. Are you still on schedule and what is your approach to get a solid foot on the ground?

A1: Yes, we are ahead of schedule, We successfully expanded to Canada and Armenia, Our focus will be to support those expansions and focus on the United Kingdom and Australia, then Russia

Q2: What is the marketing idea of Ally Direct and are you already working on something to get a lot of publicity?

A2: We are working with influencers and media companies to bring exposure. We are working on some amazing partnerships that will truly bring a lot of exposure to Ally.

Q3: Can you give some insight into the market share you expect to achieve in Armenia in a set period (+a size guesstimate how big in $’s it would be)?

A3: We are working towards partnerships with top businesses, banks, and wallets to bring the support of DRCT to the masses in Armenia. This takes time, but if this is successful, we would be able to service about 80% of the Armenian businesses really quickly. As these partnerships become finalized, we will be announcing them! We hope to have this finalized in the next 1–2 months!

Q4: In a tweet, you said: “We have some unique ideas about defi and staking, we will announce more once the time comes?” Can you explain this a little bit more?

A4: Yes, we feel that the defi and staking market, similar to the NFT market are being underutilized. We are coming up with very unique strategies to connect the world together and provide them with sophisticated tools and utilities powered by blockchain. I know that does not answer your question, but as we finalize these unique ideas 😉 we will make them public for everyone. Currently a work in progress

Q5: Do you find it conflicting being CTO of SyncDao and CEO of Ally?

A5: Ally is my primary focus, but i absolutely love helping amazing projects grow and build amazing technology. My knowledge in the blockchain, crypto, nft, defi space is available to anyone. We have an amazing team here and there is definitely zero conflicts. I help many businesses and ideas come to light all over the world!

Q6: We have reported many times in this channel that the Ally circulating supply and marketcap are missing in Coingecko and CoinMarketcap, all we have been told is “the team is working on it…”, could you explain why it is taking soooo long to update?

A6: We have submitted the information to both. We are waiting for them to update. Unfortunately, we have zero control over this.

Q7: I feel there can be a lot more engagement with the crypto community to keep them engaged day-by-day which makes token holders feel at ease too, for example, tweeting about the above-mentioned updates 1 by 1 showing the crypto community things get done in the back-end. Will you be hiring a marketing team who communicates community wishes/questions and do things like daily tweets and organize campaigns around releases? I understand you should be working on more important things but having a team or even one person doing these daily tweets about updates/facts would have so much impact😊

A7:Roman | Could not agree more! We are actually planning to do a LIVE AMA next week. As this plan comes together, we will announce more details. This will allow the community to chat with me directly 1 on 1 and so i can answer all your questions. We will probably broadcast it through Zoom and be publicly accessible. We will announce the details here!

Q8: When do you expect the first businesses to start using DRCT?

A8: in the near future. Our new merchants in Armenia are building their iOS, Android, and Web applications as we speak. Find a sneak peak of one of the applications of one of the partners below:

BeerAcademy app

Q9: A community member pointed out you were conversing with Luna PR, is this conversation going well or are you looking around for other teams. I know many marketing teams are incredibly busy🙈

A9: We are always looking for great partnerships. yes Luna PR is one of the companies we are peaking too

Q10: When exactly are you traveling to the UK for expansion?

A10: That’s a very good question, Are next focus is Australia. We already started speaking with local governments, organizations, and businesses. We will definitely be traveling there this year! Do you live in the UK? Happy to connect with you and discuss the market in preparation for our expansion. Do you know any businesses that can benefit from Ally? We have a very strong affiliate/brand ambassador program.

Q11: You’ve mentioned that businesses will have to stake DRCT to use the platform. How much DRCT on average will they have to stake?

A11: Businesses will have to stake for Reputation and Inventory. This depends on 10 factors part of our algorithm to determine the proper stake amount per country. Depends on the current value of DRCT and the country

Q12: How is the Polkadot integration going? If I recall correctly this has already started, right?

A12: Yes, this is part of our Universal Bridge. Polkadot, as well as other chains, will be part of the launch

Q13: Could you please clarify the relationship between Amazon & Ally their seems to be some confusion among potential investors

A13: Our platform was/is used to launch and power Amazon’s Prime Now. We also work with their top DSPs to empower them with dispatching and management tools for routing, tracking, reporting, and management.

As you know these relationships are very fragile and very important. Out of respect for our clients, we don’t publish news and releases without their approval. Some clients are less keen on sharing technologies that power aspects of their business. We work with a multitude of large clients not only Amazon.

Q14: With the gas fees on UNI, any plan to list on CEX or different DEX?

A14: We are working on a universal bridge to other chains such as Cordana and Binance Chain

Q15: Could you state which other clients you deal with if you can. Any standout names in particular?

A15: We have over 500, I think now closer to the 1000 range 😉 Some of them can be found on our website. To name a few: Jack In the Box, Carl’s Jr. Cold Stones, Black Angus, Yogurt Land. Wahoo’s Fish Taco, Just to name a few. We will be updating the list of clients within the next week!

Q16: Are their any plans to list on a CEX soon as Uniswap fees can be a pain sometimes.

A16: Fees on Uniswap and Gas prices are unbelievable now. That’s why we are working on our Universal Bridge to allow for porting to any chain

A lot to come in the coming weeks according to Roman:

Thank you everyone for your amazing questions! We are gearing up for a lot of announcements in the coming weeks. Please keep an eye out on this channel as well as our announcement channel
