Recently we published KRATOS One, a multi-wave early node incentives program. CPX holders that qualified for Voternode Tiers Genesis, T1 and T2 were eligible to receive various rewards as an incentive for their early investment and loyalty.

While collecting all of the necessary data, we asked our Voternode investors to take part in a survey concerning the future prospects of APEX Network.

Product and Tech Release

Firstly, we inquired what kind of product and tech release our participants are looking forward to the most. The majority of respondents (61,4%) anticipate the launch of the APEX Mainnet while other Project Milestones received lesser and equally weighted votes. Notably the release of the APEX Wallet came in second.

Long-Term Growth

Our second question measured the optimal strategy for long-term growth of the project according to respondents. The survey shows that Product and technology delivery, and adoption is overwhelmingly seen as the dominating catalyst for growth. Notably, participants equally value Exchanges/Liquidity Provision/Market Making on the one hand and Key Strategic Partnerships/Enterprise Partnerships on the other as stimulants for the longevity of the project.

Investment Horizon

Thirdly, we wanted to see how the aforementioned results relate to the investment horizon of our respondents.

According to the pie chart below, the larger part of the respondents employ a long-term value investing approach to our project while the second largest number of participants apply a mid-term investment style. Twice as many investors prefer the Long-term (value investing) strategy over the mid-term variant. Notably, the lesser group of investors have adopted the short-term profit driven strategy.

As a final note, the priority is to reward the long-term participants of the project, community and ecosystem (i.e. those who are aligned with the project).
