Introduction:

On June 12 2024, the Trac Systems team took to X to discuss the recent updates on the TTP ecosystem. The insightful discussion aimed to clarify the recent information, developments, and updates that the community may have found ambiguous.

Here is a summary of the questions shot at Benny (the founder of Trac Systems Core) and his brilliant response, during the AMA session. You can also opt to listen to the recorded version of the session on X.

Q&A During the AMA Session On X

Q1. What’s the significance of the ICP partnership?

One of the significance of the ICP partnership is that it enables a bridge between Ethereum and the TAP protocol which is currently being built. According to Benny, the bridge utilizes the characteristics of the TAP protocol together with its authorities.

The fact that users will be able to execute certain functions on layer 1 Bitcoin while using Ethereum smart contracts is another big significance of the ICP partnership.

Furthermore, Benny hinted at the possibility of partnering with other Blockchains that chain fusion will support, such as Solana.

Q2. What is next for the $TAP token (Post Launch)?

According to Benny, the major plan for the $TAP token is to have $TAP listed on as many CEX as possible, especially significant ones. He said major discussions with some of the CEX are ongoing and from the end of June (or thereabout), the $TAP token will begin its listing journey on different CEX.

Furthermore, Benny noted that all the listings will not happen at once but will span over time. Also, with the adoption of bridging functionality, $TAP tokens could become available on other chains.

Q3. What Technical Update is Currently Available On The TAP Protocol?

Benny reminded the community of the recent release of the Testnet for the actual TAP Reader. He directed developers to check out Trac’s GitHub repository for TAP Reader.

While addressing developers, Benny said in the README section, there’s a channel where developers seeking to develop on the Testnet can switch to.

He encouraged developers to work on the Testnet and assured them of ample support.

Developers can join our Telegram group or Discord channel dedicated to providing the appropriate support to their technical needs.

Q4. With all the different opportunities that were made available to receive TAP, will all the distributions be done at the same time?

Concerning the distribution of $TAP tokens to all that are eligible for the airdrop, the multi-send feature of the TAP protocol will be used. The addresses of those eligible will be added to the airdrop list and then sent in one or two transactions.

Q5. Are there other features or Dev. Tools that will be coming out soon?

While there is no specific date, Benny spoke about releasing more Developer tools in the near future. He said the aim of developing these tools is to make the life of people easier and this has been expressed through the occasional release of boilerplates.

He went on to speak on the possibility of creating a product that can be divided into two types to cater to developers and users.

Q6. What’s the use of the funds from the $TAP token launch? Would it be used to increase the team?

Benny’s response to these questions was that In addition to expanding the team yet again, the funds would be used for marketing and community growth activities.

Q7. What is the APY of TAP for those who participated in the Ecosystem Validator Pool (EVP)?

According to Seothe, a team member of Trac System, the annual percentage yield (APY) of $TAP tokens for those who partook in the EVP will be around 5%. This could be slightly higher or lower, but this is the median. Also, recall that the team mentioned that this will be in perpetuity.

Q8. What other bonuses will participants of the EVP receive?

Seothe explained that the ecosystem validator pool was created to allow people with little knowledge or no interest in running a node to get a chance to participate without worrying about the energy, resources, etc that are required to run the validator licenses.

Furthermore, he highlighted a few projects interested in building under the TAP protocol. These projects will also provide a certain amount of their tokens to the participants of the EVP. Also, participants of the EVP stand a chance to earn airdrops and rewards from subsequent projects looking to build on the TAP protocol. Click here to get more information on the validator pool.

Q9. What amount of $TAP tokens will be available to the EVP participants?

According to Seothe, approximately $350,000 worth of $TAP tokens will be provided to the participants of the EVP. This will only be activated if we reach the goal of 888,888 $TRAC for the pool.

Q10. What more can be expected from the indexing and oracle aspect ability of Trac Core?

Due to the significance of blockchain indexing, data provision as an oracle, and the decentralization functionality of Trac Core, Benny said more protocols will be indexed using Trac.

Q11. What is the utility of the $TRAC token?

Benny assured the community of plans for the $TRAC token. He spoke on creating the Trac Store; a store that acts like an app store, where projects under the TAP protocol can be easily accessed. He further explained that the $TRAC token will be used as the utility token for the Trac store. In-app purchases will be made using $TRAC. More to come on other use cases for the $TRAC token. For more details on the Trac store, check out this medium article.

Q12. Is there a plan to create individual community spaces on both Telegram and Discord for TRAC, TAP, and PIPE?

Benny believes it may be a good idea to create individual groups for each product. He also added that although it may facilitate competition between the different communities, it will help in reducing the confusion experienced in the current groups. As discussions would become centered on a particular protocol.

Q13. Is there any plan to migrate TRAC to TAP?

According to Benny, migrating TRAC to TAP seems like a very good idea as it has a good number of benefits.

Though, he pointed out some limitations like TAP protocol inability to support the number of characters in the TRAC ticker . It is important to consider which of the migrations will be suitable; whether to consider a bridge switch or a hot switch like that of GhostyCash.

He however said the community would be made to decide if it is necessary to migrate.

Q14. What is the use case of PIPE?

Benny started by speaking on why PIPE was created in the first place, he also spoke on the possibility of incorporating AI (Artificial Intelligence) functionality to PIPE and addressed the criticism of those who did not fully understand his application of AI on PIPE. He explained that PIPE was created to provide easy functionality for users who found the Ordinal space to be a complex one.

When asked if there was a plan to migrate PIPE, Benny said no. He explained that PIPE is separate from TAP in terms of functionality, purpose, and so on. He also assured the community that there are a lot of features coming up for PIPE shortly.

Conclusion

The AMA session has always been a time for insightful exposition for the community at large. One thing that remains constant is the team’s drive to continually create innovations that cater to the needs of crypto users. We remain grateful to the community for believing in TAP and expressing their support through the success of the presale.
