Q1. What is SWAGGA?
SWAGGA is an immersive phygital metaverse that blends Fashion, Amusement, Social and E-Commerce with the ambition of incentivizing everyone to monetize likes. We thrive to create an entertaining environment for fashion enthusiasts, allowing players to enjoy an interactive and interoperable metaverse. Our main concept is ‘swag to earn’, which means players could make earnings through showing off whatever they own in digital space, thus making our slogan ‘swap likes into value’ possible.
Q2. What is SWAG TO EARN?
Swag-to-Earn is a fresh concept invented by SWAGGA, it incentivizes Swaggars to earn from being swag, and then improve their level of F.A.S which stands for fashion, amusement and social. To be more specific, Swaggars gain revenue from flexing and showing off digital assets, attending fashion events, socializing with others and involving in entertainment activities in virtual communities.
Three metrics will be evaluated: Fashion, amusement and social. Based on a series of algorithms and calculations, Swaggars will get their swag points on a daily basis and receive rewards accordingly.
Fashion index measures quantities and qualities of assets Swaggars own. Assets could be Onimaru NFTs, SWAGGA wearable NFTs, SWAGGA item NFTs, all your owned NFTs from different projects and native tokens. Amusement index measures the extent to which Swaggars actively participate in daily missions, part-time jobs, mini-games and entertainment activities. Social index measures how Swaggars impact on social influences, number of followers and likes they possibly get.

Q4. Tell us more about SWAGGA upcoming gameplay.
We are now developing a fashion-themed dance battle pvp game, which will be launched early next year. Dancers simply hit arrow keys and space in a sequence dictated on the screen to control the moves and compete for a higher score, the final score will be evaluated based on three fundamental metrics: outfits, which are wearable NFTs; dance skill, which is the level of accuracy hitting the right rhythm; and spectators, which are the numbers of spectators and gifts received. It’s going to be one on one mode for the initial launch, many more modes and gaming mechanics will be announced, please stay tuned.

CryptoCool: Have you being audited ? Have not heard you talk about that security of funds is what every investor craves for and plans to escape incase of insecurity if funds,scams and rug pulls ? How strongly built are your security put in place?
Our contracts have all been audited by professional organizations to ensure the financial safety of the holders.We have experienced engineers who have been in the industry for over 8 years taking care of our server. We have encountered the system hack situation before, but we discovered the problem right away because we have our team member 24hrs standing by to make sure the security of holders.
yasmin4crypto: Can you tell us some of the use-cases of the tokens/NFTs in your platform? What are the uses of this tokens/NFTs in your platform and in the market? What are the benefits when buying and holding your tokens for a long period of time?
since our tokens are not launched yet, I‘m going to answer this question more focusing on the NTF use cases. For all the Onimaru holders, you can start to stake your Onimaru once you open the mystery box, you go on to our official website and look for the staking page and simply put your Onimaru in the capsule, and wait for new NFTs to be generated. Each Onimaru got different hash power, the logic behind it is the rarer your Onimaru is or the more Onimarus you stake, the higher hash power you get, the faster you can stake out another NFT. Outputs could be another Onimaru mystery box, wearable NFTs like clothing, accessories, sneakers that can be used to customize your avatar, item NFTs like furniture and home appliances that can be used to decorate your room. And of course you can trade them if you don’t want them. To be noted, only Onimarus are allowed for staking, this is also a privilege for Onimaru supporters. You can start earning revenues once you get yourself one Onimaru and we also empower Onimaru with various rights, for example you have community governance, we use DAO voting, which you get to decide a few critical events or future plans for us, you have access to land presale if you have R and above, you even get airdrop of land if you hold SR and above etc.
