Tell us please about your position in iME
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
@Victoryoflove @Barhatshanti @EgoAlex @Nastya_Kosyuk nice to meet you
Alex Ego:
Hello, I´m Alex Borutskiy, one of the co-founders of iMe. I’ve been in crypto since 2016. Have a Ph.D. in economics. I’m a professional startup entrepreneur with over 15 startups in the IT sphere under my belt. Before diving into Crypto, I used to handle IT startups, sites, applications, Internet services, webshops. To describe my role in iMe, I can say that I’m in charge of business development and strategic coordination of the iMe project development.
Richi:
My name is Alex Barhat, I am one of the co-founders of the iMe project. I have a higher technical background as a programmer. I have been in the field of cryptography since 2014.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
I like these stikers😁
Victoria iMe:
I am the communications and partnership manager for the iMe project, I have
been working in the cryptocurrency sphere for over 3 years. My tasks at iMe are
business collaboration, extending the project’s connections.
Anastasiya iMe:
Hi there! I’m the head of the social media department. Been in the crypto field
for around three years. And very happy to be here with you to introduce my
beloved project iMe:)
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
@EgoAlex @Barhatshanti @Victoryoflove @Nastya_Kosyuk
nice background for a great project 👍
Give us a brief introduction to the project. What is the essence of iMe:)
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Happy to have you here iME family, let’s begin this AMArathon through our
communities 🥳
Alex Ego:
iMe is an ecosystem with the Telegram-based messenger, Crypto Wallet, and DeFi
tools and its native utility token $LIME. The platform enables sending any
crypto via Telegram handles in a few clicks. With robust DeFi capabilities
integrated into the messenger (Uniswap, Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum), iMe is
on a mission to make DeFi more accessible to a wider population. iMe is the
first one to add Binance Pay functionality into the wallet. Now it’s available
in the iMe app for Android and iOS users.
iMe is developed on Telegram’s API. It offers all of the Telegram’s features as well as some exciting new tools. Using iMe, you don’t have to change your messaging environment since you’ll have all Telegram contacts and the environment available in our app.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
It really gives the user a sense of freedom 👏👏👏
Tell us about the benefits of iME. How is it different from others?
Anastasiya iMe:
Alex Ego:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TL6QidVefJ8
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Haha, nice one.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Also, we would like to know more about your team. Who is on the project team core?
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Similar to cctip? like a tip bot?
Alex Ego:
The iMe growing team is about 25+ members, mostly from developers, as we
support iOs and Android.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
And you are open to the public, not anonymous 😊
Alex Ego:
So, iMe team is concentrated on developing our app and integrating it with different Defi, Dex, blockchains.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Nice video 👍
Anastasiya iMe:
As you may see, we don’t hide our faces here;)
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
And this is a good sign 😁❤️🤗
Where is your office located?
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
That’s great, a good way to generate confidence
Alex Ego:
We are ready to go forward. any questions more? =)
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Thanks for a great introduction, we will have several questions selected for Part 1. Ready to start?
Victoria iMe:
Working with the complicated Telegram code requires very high skills and only developers starting from the senior level can handle this work. Onboarding new members we spend around 2 months on training them, and our current developers even write guides on how to manage this code.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Thanks for clarifying❤️
@AndresM77 shoot please🚀
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Let’s go
Q1 from Telegram User @Ecmq10
Hello iMe team. In May 2021 you announced the start of the iMe Awards! Which consisted of a community reward initiative enabling its loyal contributors to receive a reward paid in LIME tokens for executing a range of tasks. In that announcement you mentioned that the iMe Awards program will last until November 2021, however, the team may overview its duration and prolong it. Regarding this, have you decided to extend the duration of the program or is it already over? How much was the reward pool established for this program? Thank you
Alex Ego:
The program is already officially closed. Now the team is looking through the numerous applications that we have received (over a thousand participants took part). We’ll announce the result as soon as the review is over. The winners will be announced on our official channels. https://twitter.com/ImePlatform/status/1454357406696329218?s=20
The prize pool is 2.5M LIME tokens and will be distributed among the best contributors according to their involvement.
p.s. Staking of LIME is live.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
How is the process to stake tokens? and how high is the APR?
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
This is great news 😁
Victoria iMe:
🙂 Another way to receive rewards from the iMe team.
Anastasiya iMe:
Here you can learn more about our staking programs

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Ok
So, which are the mine utilities of the LIME token?
Anastasiya iMe:
Some more options to earn with LIME https://twitter.com/ImePlatform/status/1466313743143473155?s=20
https://twitter.com/hummingbot_io/status/1465512071920066566?s=20
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Thanks for the clear and detailed answers.
Do you want to add something? Or can we proceed to the next question?
Alex Ego:
Let’s go to next Q
Q2 from Telegram User @ProwGrowl
iMe offers a possibility to buy crypto with a card (through a partnership with Simplex), Built-in Google translator in chats, Functional cloud with albums, Neurobots, Advanced folder functions, Voice messages to text. Before switching to iMe, I would like to know more about these functions: what kind of cards does it support and the fees associated? What is the main goal of Neurobots? Do they protect from spam and shilling?
Alex Ego:
Simplex service in iMe supports Visa, MasterCard, JCB, Union Pay, swift, and SEPA payment systems. You should note that the Simplex is banned in the countries where crypto is also banned (China and USA). You may go to the Simplex site to learn more https://www.simplex.com/. The standard Simplex fee is 6% from the transaction but not less than 10 bucks, but sometimes they hold the additional commission for Gas.
Neurobots are chat assistants that are pre-trained on neural networks (AI) providing answers in chats in the style of a certain character. (Elon Musk, Trump, Monro, and so on). We’re developing a brand new type of NFT neurobots that will be soon integrated into iMe. A user can create their own neurobots that will be minted as an NFT token. Then this NFT Neurobot can be further placed on a marketplace to bring some profit to the creator. It can be sold and bought as a really functioning unique NFT asset. More on our Neurobots you can find here https://telegra.ph/Neurobots-02-12
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Wow! these are great opportunities 🔥🔥🔥
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Interesting feature
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Do you plan to connect discord to iMe?
Alex Ego:
Thanks!
No, discord integration is not planned.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
😁This is my personal interest.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
And other social networks are planned? maybe twitter
Alex Ego:
Only if twitter integrates any blockchain i.e. Ethereum =)
In my personal opinion, Twitter is so centralized and regulated, it’s better to stay away from this in your messenger/crypto.
Victoria iMe:
iMe is a Telegram-based ecosystem with the messaging platform + Crypto Wallet
+DeFi
Alex Ego:
In two words, guys, iMe is Telegram on steroids. Messenger with integrated crypto wallet, DeFi, Dexes, and 30+ features!
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
I agree with you, it’s a good point
Alex Ego:
So, we will not add Twitter or Netflix! =)
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Thanks for your great answers. Let’s proceed to the next question?
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Thanks for clarifying it
Alex Ego:
Also, we have this meme from our Netflix fans =)
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
This was an important point, thanks for helping me figure it out👍
Alex Ego:
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
That’s the result of a meme contest?
Because you have very good memes haha
Alex Ego:
No really but my favorite, as here in Spain LCDP is very popular =)
Anastasiya iMe:
One of the pieces of art we’ve got:)
Alex Ego:
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Yes, here in Latin America as well, I have to watch last season 😁
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Lol😁
Alex Ego:
Cool. so we are ready for new Qs
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Well, let’s proceed with the next question.
Q3 from Telegram User @Anne_Tim
When I was passing through your telegram channel, I noticed that iMe is connecting gradually tons of blockchains and external wallets directly to iMe. Lime is a utility token of your platform that can be staked, however, please also advise where can it acquire outside of iMe? Has it been listed on any crypto markets? What does it also grant to holders? Does it provide governance rights within the project? Thanks!
Alex Ego:
First of all, yes, we’ll add more blockchains gradually to iMe. And, Actually, we have our own native wallet available right in the app. You may try it now!
iMe Wallet has a full-fledged functionality allowing all kinds of operations with crypto, without the necessity to apply MetaMask or other wallet apps, and its interface is intuitive and simple to be used even by those who are new to crypto. With iMe, you don’t have to remember all your passwords or wallet addresses because we added encryption with a pin code on users’ devices. Only a user’s device has access to their wallet’s account.
LIME is listed on Uniswap, Gate.io, PancakeSwap, AscendEX, Apeswap exchanges, all the information about the smart contract and other details you can find in the post: https://t.me/ime_en/174
Lime Token is deployed on Ethereum and Binance Chain smart contracts (erc20 and bep20) do far, with the ready bridge between these 2 blockchain platforms, available on our website https://imem.app/
Its utilities include DAO, Yield farming, Tier system, holders of LIME will have the access to many advanced features that will be introduced soon. We’re gonna introduce the LIME donates functionality in the short run, which will enable iMe users to make donations to a channel or group they like in LIME tokens, for example. More details will be soon. Find more on LIME in these articles https://imesmartplatform.medium.com/earning-options-with-lime-staking-by-ime-e89da7b79ef1
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Wow, that’s a massive ecosystem.
Btw, what is the max supply of LIME as the main token of iME?
And the market cap, I mean, please share with us the tokenomics of $LIME.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Looks amazing 😍
Alex Ego:
950M erc20
50M bsc
Anastasiya iMe:
We’ll share the full tokenomics with our community pretty soon! Stay tuned!
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Got it, we will be waiting for it.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Thanks for sharing and clarification 😌 ready for the next question?
Alex Ego:
Yes.
Q4 from Telegram User @Tobias_JSJX
Does iMe solve any common problems for ordinary users or only for experienced crypto users? What role does artificial intelligence play in iMe and how does it benefit its users? Do you think you could release versions that work with other messaging applications besides telegram in the future?
Alex Ego:
iMe is designed especially for people with different backgrounds in crypto helping crypto newbies to get into crypto seamlessly and for experienced crypto users – to make daily operations easier, faster, and more secure. We provide a very user-friendly interface for sending and swapping crypto, enabling a PIN code for faster access to your assets. Today, it has no equals as a tool for people just starting their journey in the crypto world. What’s more, integrated translators in chats help to communicate with people from all over the world, which is of use in the international crypto community.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Indeed. what you do for mass adoption cannot be overstated👏👏👏
Alex Ego:
The AI part will be realized in the AI neurobot assistants in chats that will work on the side of a user and provide ready replies in chats in your style or in the manner of different characters. With these assistants, you can speed up your communication and make it fun!
We’ve chosen the Telegram platform as the most popular and secure for the crypto community, so far we do not plan to switch to other messaging platforms. Providing the extra functionality starting from crypto and DeFi to advanced communication features, we see 0,7+ billion Telegram users as our potential audience.
Anastasiya iMe:
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Do you have guides to use iME for newbies?
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
I already downloaded it a few minutes ago and I promise to try it 😁
Alex Ego:
Yes, here is the video and FAQ:

Welcome, let’s go further!?
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Yep
Q5 from Telegram User @Lestmarisv13
In its initial stages iME will be integrated with Binance pay this is very interesting and innovative. This integration that iME has with Binance Pay, what does it include? How will iME work strategically and linked with Binance Pay? What is the strategic benefit of this association? Advantages of this for users and platform
Alex Ego:
In the initial phase, the implementation of Binance Pay in iMe entails:
Linking your Binance Pay
account to your iMe wallet;
Displaying of coins with balances and transaction history;
Creation of payment requests between users, including within the chat;
Making payments for requests by scanning the QR code, with a quick transition
to Binance Pay for confirmation.
The Binance Pay app does not have a chat/messenger feature and users have to use third-party applications, for example, for sending a QR code with a payment request. But with the integration in iMe, transactions can be conducted between users of the messenger, among their contacts, right within chats. There is no need to confirm the identity of the user by asking for verification details before sending a request or making payment.
We are in close collaboration with the Binance Pay team on all technical aspects of this integration, iMe is the first app for which the Binance Pay team has specially developed an API. We plan two more stages of integration soon with the release of new features.
Using Binance Pay is the fact that all transactions are real-time and happen instantaneously and without gas fees or other commissions. Soon, we’ll introduce the new set of options for iMe users connected with the second stage of the integration of the Binance Pay functionality. Stay tuned!
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Yes, the benefits are obvious. but how safe is it?
Have you done any hackathons or smart contract audits? or maybe you are planning soon
Alex Ego:
Yes, we are audited by 2 companies
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
What else is coming for iME? could you share your roadmap?
Alex Ego:
Binance Pay is safe to perform fast transactions for daily needs
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
And what are the results?
Anastasiya iMe:
All the messaging data has proceeded through the Telegram servers and the Wallet keys and info are stored on a user’s device only. Our key goal is to provide a user-friendly and safe interface to allow not only crypto-addicted users but also newbies in the sphere to merge into the crypto community without extra effort.
The audits are successfully passed! You can see the tab with the Certik on our LIME token CMC page.
Alex Ego:
You would not believe it, but 2 independent audits reported the maximum level of safety.
And note, iMe is a non-custodial wallet.
Victoria iMe:
CertiK and Beosin companies say our smart contract is safe.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Thanks for sharing and for such a responsible attitude to the issue of safety👏👏👏
So.. are you ready for the last question of this part AMA?😊
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
@EgoAlex
Alex Ego:
Yes!

By this, can you please elaborate and discuss to us what value could this formed partnership brings to iMe’s table? How do iMe plan to integrate PARSIQ’s products and services into its ecosystem?
Alex Ego:
We have partnered with Parsiq long ago. The article with a detailed description of what this union implies was published in November. Just to clarify:) Through this integration, iMe users will get the opportunities to track the status of their Ethereum transactions, also track the status of BSC transactions status, get on-time data and notifications from Uniswap exchange, and many more. Find out more on our partnership https://imesmartplatform.medium.com/parsiq-brings-real-time-data-monitoring-to-ime-456de32edf59

And plz note, besides Parsiq we have 30+ different integrations and partnerships
We are done, let’s go further!
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Congratulations on this great partnership, we are sure it will help you to increase the adoption. 👏
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Yes, we noticed. and this is an incredible indicator.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:

Q2 from Telegram user @Ratash97
Can you tell us about the iMe messenger user’s data safety and does your team has access to that information?
Anastasiya iMe:
Security is on the list of the top targets for iMe. We don’t have access to any users’ data including names, phone numbers, conversations, and do not store and transmit it anywhere. All this data proceeds through Telegram servers. As for the iMe wallet, only the device has access to keys and funds, so users can control this data by themselves. The wallet enables a PIN code for password encryption. No servers are involved.

There are many wallets and messenger providers in the market. Does iMe have competitors? What are your competitive advantages?
Alex Ego:
There is no other app like “messenger+Cryptowallet” in one.
only iMe.

You recently announced to the community the integration of Binance Pay into the iMe app. You mentioned that to implement this functionality, the iMe and Binance teams are working in close collaboration. How was the process of this collaboration? Is the iMe app available for Android users and iOS users? In what ways do both ecosystems benefit from this integration? What did this integration mean for the iMe team? What opportunities and advantages does this integration bring to Binance users? What features does this integration provide?
Alex Ego:
Yes, you can DL iMe for iOS and Android.
To use Binance pay in iMe you need to have Binance acc.
Q8 from Telegram user @Cheriemike
IME has made a reputable partnership with many platforms. But I noticed you have also made partnerships with some gaming platforms like YAY GAMES, Kaby Arena and CryptoBlades.We in the Satoshi community are familiar with Kaby Arena and CryptoBlades platforms for they have visited our community before now and they are cool. So I am curious to asked-What are your reasons for partnering with gaming platforms? Since you have features like Music and others, will you also add different games on the IME Messenger app like Facebook that have mini-games users can play with their friends? So in a nutshell, how have the partnership you have made enhanced your growth and made it to where it is today? Please Explain Thanks
Victoria iMe:
Our partnership deals with the integration of our partners’ tokens to our platform, enabling sending and swapping their tokens in 2 clicks upon Telegram through the iMe app. We share cross-marketing info in our communities, and it’s definitely beneficial for both parties. Further on, we are considering NFTs and Crypto Gaming as the next elements to be added to iMe to enrich our ecosystem and allow users to have all in one app.
Q9 from Telegram user @Wong2008
I read that you are planning to launch a staking program in the ime mobile app, can you tell us more about it and also what is your progress on that matter?
Anastasiya iMe:
As for the moment, the app staking is under development. The LIME erc20 staking will be available after the completion of the program realization with rewards in BUSD BEP20 for participants. Users will be able to open deposits for a certain period of time to receive their monthly payments. More on this here https://telegra.ph/Lime-staking-07-12
Q10 from Telegram user @Robotliker1
How does iMe will try to reach the project at a global level and in what languages your app supports apart from English?do you plan to attract non-crypto investors as well?
Alex Ego:
Most of iMe users are non-crypto addicted. They are newbies.
iMe gives a very native and easy gateway to the crypto world for any user.
And of course, you can use iMe as a messenger only, without its crypto-section.
iMe is “Telegram on steroids”, use it to enrich your communication experience.
