Lifeform, a project with a valuation of $300 million, has completed the airdrop of tokens to early users and is expected to be listed on major exchanges soon. We are honored to invite Miss Niya, the Chinese ambassador, to discuss Lifeform: The future of Web3 virtual characters and decentralized identity
Let me briefly introduce Lifeform. Lifeform is a decentralized visual (DID) project. Visual DID is the visual identity of users in Web 3. It can help everyone create their first Web3 virtual identity through MPC or zero-knowledge proof. Of course, it is accompanied by more practical functions. For example, users can bind wallets, digital assets, etc. through their own DID image, and apply visual DID to various scenarios, such as metaverse, games, live broadcasts, IP, conferences, etc.
1) snowball: The DID track is very popular recently. As a leading project in this track, can you introduce Lifeform to everyone? In addition to the ultra-realistic 3D virtual character editor and decentralized identity solution, what other core features and functions make Lifeform unique in the DID field?
**Niya：**Lifeform is positioned as an open solution platform for decentralized identity recognition. The main product at present is the 3D virtual human editor, which you can think of as a Web3 virtual identity creator and editor. Virtual identity is the identity used by users to enter the metaverse and access Web3 applications. It can be said that Lifeform simplifies the creation, use and management of virtual identities. To a certain extent, it lowers the threshold for users to enter the metaverse. It has become a reality for everyone to hold their own virtual identity in web3.
Then I think many of the listeners present who know Lifeform should be familiar with Lifeform’s long-term development. In November 2022, Lifeform launched the UE5 virtual human editor on the WEB side, and the number of castings quickly exceeded 200,000 within a month. In February 2023, the Lifeform Cartoon cartoon version of the editor was launched, allowing users to cast cartoon avatars more conveniently and quickly. Within 2 weeks of the launch of the cartoon version editor, the number of castings exceeded 3 million. It can also be called a miracle on BSC. In May of the same year, the construction of the metaverse level was centered around the large-scale metaverse reality show-Build the Block, initiated and led by Binance. Lifeform also serves as the exclusive technical support provider for this event - Build the Block. Moreover, this event is also the first live broadcast conference in history to be completely conducted in the Metaverse, so Lifeform has been paying attention to the future development of the Metaverse.
Avatars created using the Lifeform avatar editor can also be used as a user's login for all dApps in a web3 environment, but importantly they are also useful in the web2 ecosystem as they can be used for all major web2 videos Sharing and live streaming apps such as Zoom, Google Meet, Discord and TikTok. Some time ago, Lifeform also announced its cooperation with Botim. The Lifeform editor will soon be launched in the Botim application. Botim is the largest communication software in Dubai. As a traffic giant of web2 social apps, it can also be reflected in the cooperation with Lifeform. Lifeform is also completing the transition from web2 to web3 for new users.
2) Snowball: What Web3 projects or platforms has Lifeform partnered with? How will these partnerships further expand the utility and reach of avatars and decentralized identities?
**Niya: **Lifeform has worked with many Web3 projects and platforms. For example, it has released co-branded NFTs with projects such as BNB Chain, KuCoin Labs, and Hooked. In addition, Lifeform has also conducted SuperAvatar Q&A activities with partners such as BNB Chain, HALO, Hooked, Tap Fantasy, RACA, BurgerCities, NNS, CyberConnect, Highstreet, and INKfinance. This is also the second superavatar Q&A event, which also attracted nearly 740,000 participants, of which 31,000 winners shared a prize pool of $100,000.
In addition to these activities, Lifeform is also building a healthier ecosystem collaboration. Lifeform provides users with a decentralized visual identification protocol, or SDK. Users can customize unique web3 avatars using the NFTs they own. In addition, Lifeform provides a user-friendly integration API for third-party projects, enabling developers to easily integrate avatar models into various applications, games, or meta-databases. These are all helpful in enhancing user experience, interaction, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, while promoting visual DIDs as login credentials for all Web3 applications. Current and upcoming projects include BurgerCities, Hooked, DegenReborn, BIDSHOP, Sending Me, and SO3.
In the future, Lifeform's visual DID will continue to be carried in the main metaspace, allowing users to interact in different metaspaces using the same visual identification. In addition, Lifeform has created a virtual reality show stage for Binance, which is Build the Block. Lifeform is also the exclusive technology provider for Build the Block, enabling users to enter the virtual space built on Unreal Engine 5 by using cloud-rendered WEB RTC video streaming and a globally accelerated web browser. Lifeform provides users from 41 countries and regions around the world with more than 10 million customizable avatar combination options, allowing each user to create hundreds of 3D hyper-realistic virtual human models for themselves.
This is the first-ever live conference that takes place entirely in the virtual world. It features avatar interactions and focuses on the future development of Metaverse. The event was launched in May 2023 and has attracted widespread attention from around the world. The speakers at this event are from 12 well-known Web3 projects. More than 100 investment institutions and influential opinion leaders attended the event.
Following the success of this event, Lifeform will continue to provide more virtual meeting scenarios for corporate users and provide millions of end users with solutions to access meetings simultaneously using the Lifeform Avatar toolset. Build the Block represents more than just a simple online meeting event, but a major breakthrough in giving the virtual world a profound and realistic meaning through advanced technology.
In addition to cooperating with other Web3 projects, Lifeform recently launched an AI project incubated by the Lifeform ecosystem. Intelife AI, Intelife is a visual AI protocol that integrates data cultivation and virtual human training. It allows the creation of various applications in a simple and realistic way. They can help us better understand and utilize AI. The visual AI protocol can also help better understand the process of data cultivation and virtual human training. I also hope that everyone can pay more attention to and look forward to lifeform~
3) Snowball: How does Lifeform’s decentralized identity solution ensure the security and privacy of my digital identity? How is it different from traditional centralized identity authentication methods?
**Niya：** Security and privacy are indeed very important. Of course, as the industry continues to improve and develop, users will inevitably face great risks of hacker attacks and phishing attacks. These behaviors have indeed hindered the widespread application of Web3 to a certain extent and weakened user trust.
But Lifeform always sees these as opportunities to innovate and improve.
Lifeform considers data privacy and security as important pillars of technology. It is extremely important to protect user personal information and ensure the safety of users' interactive environment in Web3 space. By utilizing strong encryption algorithms, decentralized storage systems and advanced authentication mechanisms, Lifeform has also been committed to providing defense against potential threats and has been actively working with industry experts and security auditors to conduct comprehensive audits and security assessments to ensure that the technology remains resilient and adheres to the highest level of security standards.
By facing these challenges head-on and developing cutting-edge solutions, Lifeform is committed to instilling confidence and trust in Web3 applications. After all, Lifeform's mission is to create a secure, user-centric Web3 environment, so that users' data is protected and users can fully explore the future of WEB3.
4) Snowball: How does the Lifeform Avatar Editor achieve ultra-realistic 3D effects? What kind of personalized avatars can I create with it?
**Niya: **When it comes to hyper-realistic 3D effects, we have to mention Lifeform's first product, a 3D virtual human editor developed based on the UE5 engine. Both the Windows version and the Mac version can be downloaded and used. In Lifeform's editor, you can see this hyper-realistic style, down to the skin texture, hair, and eyes of the avatar you created, which can all show this very realistic 3D effect. Users can freely match and combine, adjust the avatar's face and body, and can also make up your avatar and choose accessories. In this editor of Lifeform, you can completely create another self in WEB3.
5) Snowball: It was mentioned above that Lifeform has been working with different projects recently. Will there be any major progress in the future, or any good news to be announced?
**Niya: **The most important event at the moment is the fifth issue of Cryptopedia, which was launched at noon today. The event will last for 2 weeks, starting at 12 noon today and ending at 12 noon on August 17th, Beijing time.
As you all know, on July 31, Lifeform has announced which holders are eligible for airdrops. The total supply of Lifeform tokens is 1 billion, and the total airdrop amount is 5% of the total supply. 1% will be directly airdropped every quarter, and the total airdrop amount for this round is 1 million LFTs.
In this round of activities, old users who have airdrop qualifications can directly receive the airdrop box NFT. The boxes are divided into 3 levels, namely silver, gold and diamond boxes. Here we would like to remind everyone that it is worth noting that the number of tokens corresponding to the final airdrop of boxes of the same level is also different. Everything is related to the Lifeform asset holdings held at the time of your address snapshot.
Old users should note that the box you receive after verification is the only proof of your airdrop. Everyone must note that the box you receive cannot be transferred or traded, otherwise both the buyer and the seller will lose the airdrop qualification.
New users can also participate in this airdrop event. They need to complete and verify 4 interactive tasks to be eligible to share the LFT reward worth 300,000 US dollars. Today, I saw some people in the community were confused because the first task for new users to participate is also to receive a box, but unlike old users, new users receive a Lucky box. So I want to remind new users that even if they have received a Lucky box, they must complete all 4 tasks before they can participate in the draw for LFT worth 300,000 US dollars.
User question answering session
1) Snowball: Lifeform’s vision is to enable the next billion users to join the Web3 revolution. What strategies do you plan to adopt to attract more users?
**Niya: **First of all, at the product level, we need to improve product matching. In the future, we will provide friendly developer toolkits, provide more convenience for Unreal Engine developers, and continue to empower the NFT market.
As we all know, VR headsets will become more and more popular in the future. With the emergence of VR, Lifeform is currently providing visual solutions for web2-related applications and establishing web3 portals. All of this is to expand Lifeform's user base and truly achieve the transition from web2 to web3. Including the previously announced cooperation with the traditional web2 communication software botim, it also proves that Lifeform has been doing this.
As I mentioned above, the cooperation on the Lifeform SDK level has been ongoing. In the future, users can connect to various dapps and cooperate with other metaverses and games. All of this is what really makes web3 a place for interconnection.
2) Snowball: The traditional centralized identity system experience is already very smooth. What unique advantages does Lifeform have over traditional centralized identity?
**Niya: **Centralized identities can only be logged in and used in centralized applications, but lifeform's sdk is connected to the applications of various partners, which allows users to experience the interconnection of web3 more conveniently and quickly. .
3) Snowball: What capabilities will LFT have after it goes online? What benefits will LFT holders have the opportunity to obtain in the future?
**Niya：**Perhaps in the future, the mall will use LFT for payment and price avatars, and users can use LFT to trade and mint avatars.
Of course, it is also possible to airdrop limited NFT assets according to LFT holdings, including limited edition clothing that can be unlocked. And cooperate with other IPs. Only users who hold LFT can hold this asset. More about the consumption scenario of LFT.
4) Snowball: I see that Lifeform has clearly announced the airdrop. I hold some Lifeform points and would like to know how they are allocated and how many points are exchanged for one token?
**Niya: **I am as excited as everyone else about the details of how the distribution will be done. Of course, the official announcement is still the standard. But what is certain is that as long as you hold points and meet the airdrop investment qualifications announced by Lifeform before, you will get the corresponding airdrop reward if you complete the verification of the event.
