Q2: Can you introduce ChainPort to us?

Maximiliano | Dcentralab.comMaximiliano | Dcentralab.com

Yes!
ChainPort is the only blockchain bridge that places security first. With ChainPort you can hop across the leading blockchains with just a click!
It is the most secure bridge in the crypto-space by using a funds segregation model, with the best custodial technology in the space - FireBlocks MPC, and Gnosis-safe. This means that we keep over 95% of the TVL on our cold storage vaults at any given time. ChainPort also offers full interoperability between chains, allowing users to hop between chains without ever the need to go back to the native chain, with a fast and simple interface.
Let me share more about our fund segregation model one moment
How ChainPort Ensures Security
We let you port in 3 minutes without technical integration just a wallet to any of the chains we support with more being added all the time!

Sure, let me select a few :)

I learnt that ChainPort’s planned introducing an improved fee mechanism known as V2. Can you please tell us the difference between the V1 version of ChainPort’s fee mechanism and the V2, and V3?

Maximiliano | Dcentralab.comMaximiliano | Dcentralab.com

Let me answer this question ☝️
Yes, so the main difference is how we charge fees and how we distribute them - V1 only lets you pay with the ported token, you can check more info here https://medium.com/chainport/chainport-fee-mechanism-v1-goes-live-b6eba8971c80

V1.5 will come with PORTX launch in a couple of days and we will give you a discounted fee of 33% so instead of paying 0.3% you will pay 0.2%

Is ChainPort completely decentralized? Will there be a risk of interference or detention to move tokens across the chain?

Maximiliano | Dcentralab.comMaximiliano | Dcentralab.com

Right now based on all the current hacks to a lot of bridges that we will not name but with losses totaling more than $1.5B we can say that decentralized bridges are not safe.

Our approach is centralized and similar to what centralized exchanges are doing.

We keep 5% on the hot-bridge contract and 95% in cold vaults which are basically really hard to exploit without physical access to the vaults which are never connected to the internet

The good news is that we recently introduced ChainPort Private Custodian which lets projects using ChainPort take control of some of the keys we use for the multi-sig

Example: You have a project, we will give you 2 keys to sign, we will keep 2 keys ourselves as ChainPort congress and we will give a law firm or trustee a key in case something happens to our team (we all die in a plane accident or similar)

This is the best of ChainPort but with more control for the project using our platform to port to different chains

You can find more information here: https://chainport.io/private-custodian

This is a very important question!

PORTX is coming out next Tuesday - September 20th
You can check our official announcement here https://twitter.com/chain_port/status/1569694046121070594

We will have PORTX as the main utility token for ChainPort

- PORTX will give users 33% discount on the bridge usage (0.2% vs 0.3%)
- It will be used for staking and earning APY when pre-depositing the tokens for those fees
- and it will be used as an incentive to grow the inventory for stables once we support them!

You can learn more also here: https://chainport.io/token
The $PORTX TGE date is around the corner! 🚀

Read our announcement below about the launch date, ChainPort's fee mechanism, and more 📢

TGE is happening on September 20th, 2022! 🔥

@unclebills would you like to answer another one?

I understood that ChainPort platform is a Cross-Chain bridge that works between multiple chains, so how do you guarantee that trading on this bridge will not cost us our investment? Does ChainPort have Unique security features, how secure is your bridge?

Maximiliano | Dcentralab.comMaximiliano | Dcentralab.com

Answering this one!
Questions says..."I understood that ChainPort platform is a Cross-Chain bridge that works between multiple chains, so how do you guarantee that trading on this bridge will not cost us our investment? Does ChainPort have Unique security features, how secure is your bridge?"
When it comes to security we are the only ones that are using fund segregation and the only fully-custodian bridge in the space

- We have multiple audits by CertiK, CyberUnit and an ongoing one by Trail of Bits (biggest company)
you can check CertiK here: https://certik.com/projects/chainport

We have a complete security page that you can check here: https://chainport.io/security

Then ChainPort works in a super simple way:

We works in a method named synthetic wrapping.
We will lock the original asset (eg. ERC20) on a contract, and mint a new token on the destination chain (eg. BNB Chain).

This action is atomic and always happens in a one to one manner.
One token locked- One token minted
One token burned, one token released.

Is CHAINPORT has Adopted Real Cross-Chain Interoperability because this is MUST
May I know Till now CHAINPORT has Integrated How Many CHAINS and are You working to add more Chain    ?

I'll answer an additional one
Question says..."Is CHAINPORT has Adopted Real Cross-Chain Interoperability because this is MUST

We are working on many new chains, we just introduced Dogechain, Aurora as EVM and we will have Cardano as our first non-evm chain in the next couple of weeks, this is a big milestone, this should happen after the Cardano fork!

Next we will continue adding more EVM chains and non-evm chains like Solana and more!

Could you please present PORTX?

Maximiliano | Dcentralab.comMaximiliano | Dcentralab.com

Yes, so PORTX is our native token https://chainport.io/token
We are launching next week - mark the date in your calendar! September 20th, 2022!

ChainPort's native utility token is the PORTX token, it is central to ChainPort’s ecosystem and long-term sustainability, and represents a unit of value and a medium of exchange that can be used in many ways.

I invite everyone to join our TG community to read the latest news @chainport and https://twitter.com/chain_port

As we are a bridge we will be listed on all major DEXs on different chains and CEX listings also!

We didn't announce all of them, so stay tuned for the next days!

Great news are coming and you can also follow our ChainPort News channel here: @chainport_news
Fee distribution

ChainPort’s fee mechanism ensures long-term sustainability for a cross chain bridge. The mechanism essentially turns ChainPort and PORTX token into an ecosystem with incentives for holders and crypto projects. By turning ChainPort into a fully-fledged ecosystem, it will become the defacto bridge of choice for whoever wants to port tokens.

Basic Porting Fee - up to 95% Converted to PORTX

20% Project reward - An ongoing incentive for projects to make ChainPort their official bridge of choice. Claimable in PORTX.

‍20% Participation rewards - For each port made, the user will receive points that will reward them with PORTX.

20% Referral/Affiliation Rewards - distributed to eligible parties who referred the ported token, or ports made from an integrated ChainPort modal or through the API.

15% PORTX Buyback - A portion will be utilized to buy back PORTX on the market. Some, to all of this amount, may be used to remove tokens from liquidity (burns).

10% Lliquidity - Added on the various DEXs as liquidity forever. Half in PORTX and half in stablecoins.

10% APY for Stakers - This portion rewards PORTX stakers on the official ChainPort fee manager contract.

5% ChainPort Future Development - will be used for ChainPort future development.
Done!
