Live Q&A
Will there be more opportunities to participate in the Open Beta Test?
Yes, the Open Beta Test season 2 will open in February.
What is the plan regarding the OverWallet and OverPoints?
Over Points in the Over Wallet will convert to Over Tokens upon the mainnet launch. The exchange ratio is being calculated and will be announced at the mainnet launch.
What are the plans for Referrals and KYC?
Referrals will be converted to Over Tokens, but KYC must be completed first.
The KYC process will be done before the mainnet launch.
Over 5 million people have joined, so we plan to conduct KYC in collaboration with partners.
The founder is Ben, PhD candidate at Seoul National University.
Backers include South Korean entities like SK, Netmarble, DSC, NaverZ, SpringCamp, Schmit, and EN investment.
What is OCAP?
OCAP stands for “Over Community Access Program” and it has two main parts: Quest 1 and Quest 2, plus some other events.
In Quest 1, you do missions in OverWallet and collect points.
Quest 2 is about joining the OverProtocol Open Beta Testnet with OverNode and getting scores.
OCAP is one of OverProtocol’s airdrop plans.
