🏚Venue For AMA: @EPID_Community
💰Reward Pool: $100

➡️Part 1: Project Introduction.

Q1. Could you briefly introduce about your project?
A:
Yes sure so Pandora is founded by Pushkar Vohra (CEO), who was previously part of EthLend(now AAVE) and many other DeFi projects.

We provide a liquid infrastructure protocol where any assets can be tokenised in liquid form and can be further traded as swap, lend, borrow or can derivative trade.

For those NFT generated on other platforms, we are bringing innovative mechanism to bring liquidity via PiNFT. PiNFT is a novel approach to get liquidity in any NFT and make it tradable to a cross-chain platform.

Q2. What makes the PANDORA PROTOCOL project stand out more than the projects in the same direction at the moment?
A:
Pandora is a hybrid Open Finance solution for the problems faced by both traditional finance and decentralised finance. We envision the transaction of real-world assets on the trustless and decentralised platform in a borderless economy. Our scalable, interoperable and high throughput infrastructure converts the illiquid state of NFT to the liquid state for both Real-world and digital assets.

Technically, Pandora is the middle layer solution that is inducing liquidity to NFT created on Pandora and other platforms. Developers can also plug and play their Dapp to the Pandora Protocol and provide liquidity to the user’s NFT.

Pandora is not competing with any other projects. Instead of competing it is helping other projects to have liquidity induction in their NFT which is unique and innovative ✨✨

Q3. What are the memorable milestones of PANDORA PROTOCOL in the research and development process?
A:
Pandora, Protocol aimed to bring the real-world assets to On-chain from the beginning.

We talked with various industry experts, users and devised our solution and saw that there are many different problems when bridging traditional finance to decentralized finance. Like liquidity issues, the validity of assets, identity issue of the asset owner, cross-chain transactions, and various other concerns.

Among them, the most concerning issue was the liquidity problem. And, there, we decided to work on inducing the liquidity in the tokenized assets for Open Finance.

Milestone 1:
In a short period, we were fortunate to build the beta version of our product with very few team members.

Milestone 2:
We have also closed a small amount of early-stage of money to develop the product. On the business side there are 3 products getting built on Pandora.

Apart from that we have several minor milestones . That you can find in the pinned chat of our group or our announcement channel.

➡️Part 2: Question From Twitter (5 best questions).

Q1: @safeene3939
They recently announced their partnership with Unmarshal in order to "leverage their data indexing API to get metadata relays", but could you really explain in more detail how beneficial this partnership is to the NFT trade?
A:
Pandora works in NFT space and Unmarshal works in data indexing space.

While making trade of NFT, there are lots of parameters like price, owner, and other data points used for making decisions before doing trade. By partnering with Unmarshal, these data points will be available in the Pandora Stack itself. We have put the article around it as well. You can read more details at:

Q2: @basCLU2
Within your scheme and design of borrowing real world assets without intermediaries, it is extremely striking and innovative, but my question is are they purely decentralized? and is your technology audited by which recognized companies?
A:
Yes , we are completely Decentralized . That's the beauty of the product crafting out the product was but of a challenge but the team did it effortlessly with the limited time and resources . We are currently running on BSC chain and will be shifting to Polkadot after some time.

As for the Audits. We have audit report from the one of the most renowned names of the blockchain industry , Zokyo has performed audits of Pandora Protocol smart contracts and verified that is the safe and secure for any vulnerabilities!

Q3: @tndkhoa11
In an article on Medium I read that Pandora is working on the creation of real-world asset tokens through dynamic NFTs. Exactly what are these dynamic NFTs and what differentiates them from traditional NFTs? What advantages and benefits would this type of NFT bring to users?
A:
Dynamic NFTs are those NFTs whose value changes with respect to outside events. Here we are using oracle to fetch the external event details in the NFT and making it dynamic. This is something very new we are coming with for the NFT ecosystem. Further Details can be found here:
