Q1 from Telegram user @victorogb
O3 Swap, the proprietary cross-chain aggregator of O3 labs is built using a four-layer structure to ensure the integrity and symmetry of the information in the liquid market. Can you carefully outline these four distinct layer structures, how do they effectively combine to give investors a safe and efficient trading environment and how does the system aggregate in real-time the best trading rates and data for investors and users alike?
Tim | O3: okay I will answer this question for two parts
part1: we use 4 layers in our swap structure
Mary | Satoshi Club: As i see you are planning to add Polkadot also😀
Tim | O3: 1. Network Layer: As the basis of the O3 Swap cross-chain protocol, we will aggregate high-quality public chains and ecological chain systems in the market. This includes Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Neo, Huobi ECO Chain so far, and creditworthy layer 2 projects, to provide cross-chain trading.
2. Market Liquidity: The aggregation of different liquidity sources through O3 Swap, allows the platform to identify and recommend the best exchange quote for users.
3. Settlement Layer: Based on the private key signature authorization, the transaction settlement is completed through the smart contract. Additionally, cross-chain protocols and cross-chain pools will help users complete cross-chain asset exchanges and settlements.
4. Application Layer: Provide developers with a complete service API to integrate into different applications, and providing users with a convenient and user-friendly operating platform.
the intro of the 4 layers
Part2: O3 Aggregators are deployed on mainstream blockchains and help users find the most effective trading rates and routes in the corresponding network. The aggregation of different liquidity sources through O3 Swap, allows the platform to identify and recommend the best exchange quote for users.
That is why we can provide the best trading price and route for users:)
done
Mary | Satoshi Club: I used a lot of aggregators and want to tell, that prices differ on each of them😀 hope you will find the best for us!
Also, i want to ask
\Quote includes 0.3% O3Swap fee – is this fee for testing phase or it will stay the same after launch?
D. | Satoshi Club: and each crypto aggregator says that they have the best prices on market 👀😄😉
Mary | Satoshi Club: 😀
Tim | O3: 0.3% trading fee is used to buy back the O3 in open market and redistribute to the O3 staker and dev team to maintain the system:)
Mary | Satoshi Club: Got it!
Thank you for your answers! Ready to proceed?
Tim | O3: ya let’s move on
Q2 from Telegram user @cryptofollower
O3 Labs was established in Tokyo in 2017. From that time it has been 4 years. And when I check you roadmap you have come from a long way but defi is evolving very fast too. O3 native token is not released yet, do you think O3 is a little bit slow to catch that speed? What milestones have you been through till this time and when will you launch the exchange with fully functioning?
Tim | O3: There are three milestones in the development history of O3 Labs. First, the release of the Neo light wallet — O3 wallet in Tokyo in 2017 and supported Ontology lately. Second, the support of fiat currencies (USD, Euro) and credit cards to purchase cryptocurrencies (including BTC, NEO, ETH). Last but not least, as a multi-asset wallet to support mainstream assets, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Neo, Ontology, Polkadot, Binance Smart Chain, and Huobi ECO Chain, and integrate dAPI of high-quality DeFi projects such as Flamingo, Uniswap, Compound, 1inch, DODO
for the full function of O3 Swap. At present, our official website is online and supports product testing. Litepaper V1 is also online. More detailed product information can be found in this link https://docs.o3swap. com/.
The Beta version of cross-chain transactions will also be launched at the end of this month. First, it will support cross-chain exchange of assets on Neo, Ethereum, BSC, and Heco. In the next step, the O3 token and economic model will be released, and transaction mining and other community incentives will be initiated. In Q4 this year, we plan to complete the deployment of Layer2 network.
Mary | Satoshi Club: As i see you support fiat😀 do your users need to complete KYC verification to use fiat payments?
D. | Satoshi Club: i see O3 Swap not allows me to add liquidity on your site, at the current moment, when this function will be available, and what will be the benefits for liquidity providers?
Tim | O3: no, we cooperate with Moonpay. so everyone has their account can buy directly within wallet
Mary | Satoshi Club: 👍
Tim | O3: This function will launch at the end of April. LP provider can stake their LP to earn O3 rewards:)
D. | Satoshi Club: nice! i like it 😊
Tim | O3: let’s move on:)
D. | Satoshi Club: let’s do this! thank you for the answers!
Q3 from Telegram user @h1drX
In February 2020, the iOS client was removed from the App Store due to a trademark dispute with a non-blockchain-related company. We know how troublesome Apple can be, but is this measure permanent? Can’t IOS users download O3 Labs Wallet? Can you tell us exactly what the problem was?
Tim | O3: O3 wallet has undergone rebranding and version upgrades in September of last year. In addition to the redesign of the user interface, the product architecture and experience have been optimized, network speed has been improved, and the wallet multi-languages have been added, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. You can download the latest version here https://o3.network/#download
Mary | Satoshi Club: Will you add more languages?
D. | Satoshi Club: 👍
Tim | O3: For the Apple Store issue, because of the law restriction from different regions, some user can not access it from Apple store. but you can also access it through Testflight. In addition, we also support many OS: Wendows, Mac, ios, Android
well it depends on our users:)
I think we will do that in the future
D. | Satoshi Club: i want to ask about security, can user easily extract his/her private key from your wallet and then use it after in any different non-custodial crypto wallet?
Mary | Satoshi Club: So, it should be available for everyone and i like it!
Tim | O3: this is for sure. we are 100% decentralized wallet and didn’t store any user’s data. That’s what I can promise
D. | Satoshi Club: great! thank you, this is very important 👍
and thanks for the answers! ready for the next question?
Tim | O3: yes:0
Q4 from Telegram user @mctrho
Today everyone who works with cryptocurrencies needs at least one digital wallet, but the first options we think of are TrustWallet, Metamask, TronLink, etc. What features does O3 Wallet have that can compete with the most popular wallets today? Why should people use O3 Wallet?
Tim | O3: We have several features:
First of all, O3 Wallet is an open-source decentralized wallet. Users’ assets are always under their control. that’s what I mentioned above.
Mary | Satoshi Club: It’s important for us!😀
Tim | O3: Secondly, O3 Wallet is based on high-quality basic chains to create a simple and exquisite wallet service. We currently support Ether, Btc, Neo, Dot, Neo, Ont, BSC, Heco.
Third, O3 always focuses on the user’s needs. We provide the service to purchase cryptocurrencies by fiat currency and credit card. We also provide swap functions and high-quality DeFi services on Ethereum, BSC, Heco, and Neo, so users can manage their encrypted assets without leaving O3 Wallet. Last but not least, we always protect user privacy, which means users 100% own their data without any login or registration.
done
D. | Satoshi Club: will you aim to support staking function in the wallet for different crypto assets? as it possible on some centralized exchanges
Tim | O3: yes, but for now we are focus on our own staking function:)
D. | Satoshi Club: 😊👍 got it!
Mary | Satoshi Club: Great plans! What assets will be available for staking first?😀
Tim | O3: we will support the O3 staking first in wallet
but user can also explore different asset trough discover page
Mary | Satoshi Club: Excellent!
Thank you!
Do you want to add something or we can go to the next question?😀
Tim | O3: Sorry for interrupt, I have a meeting in 30 mins so maybe we need to move on quickly 😅
yes
Q5 from Telegram user @neverencryp
There is something you called ontology staking on your platform, i will like to know why it is called ontology staking. Is it like the normal staking that we receive APY on and what are the APY you plan to gives of if they are the same.
Mary | Satoshi Club: Sure!
D. | Satoshi Club: let’s speed it up then 🚀🚀🚀
Tim | O3: Ontology is the chain we have support in the wallet. But we have already closed this service since November 2020. this year, we launch the new product O3 Swap. It is cross-chain aggregation protocol, support trade mining and single token stake to our cross-chain pool and earn the O3 rewards. you will see the APY when O3 token launch 👀
D. | Satoshi Club: awesome!
Mary | Satoshi Club: Can’t wait to see that APY👍
Q6 from Telegram user @sofiaisla
Many users are routinely hacked. There are currently many scams and thefts in the world of cryptocurrencies. Could you tell us what security solutions O3 Labs has to keep the privacy and assets of its users protected and secured? Does O3 Labs have KYC to prevent money laundering? How is O3 Labs able to offer security?
Tim | O3: Security is our priority. we have 3 features to ensure the asset security
1,100% Non-custodial wallet
In O3 Wallet, assets are stored on the blockchain. Your assets never leave your control, only you have your private keys. The wallet is just a tool to help you manage the assets on different chains. You don’t need to worry about wallet providers running away, because as long as you keep your private keys, your assets are still on the chain. Therefore, in our experience, most private key loss incidents are caused by the user not keeping it well, rather than attacked by hackers.
Mary | Satoshi Club: 👍
Tim | O3: 2, Never store your personal information
To ensure assets secure, O3 Wallet never saves your personal information on our server. so every user is anonymous. You can create many wallets if you want or import with your private keys, encrypted keys + password, or Mnemonic which only you know. In this way, it is difficult for hackers to get your information or attack you. On the other hand, we can not help you to recover the keys and password if you lose them. So please make sure you always back up your private key/ Mnemonic correctly.
3,Phone security
We allow users to login with Face ID, Touch ID, or wallet password to ensure phone-layer security. We truly believe our professional Dev team which is extremely rigorous and strict working on resisting hackers; Not only that, we implemented the most advanced code security audits for better ensuring the safety of user assets.
Tim | O3: done:)
D. | Satoshi Club: this is high level of security👌
Mary | Satoshi Club: Thank you for your answers, Tim! I see that you really care about security!
And live part is near!
Ready for it?😀
Tim | O3: I will choose 10 of them right
D. | Satoshi Club: yes
Tim | O3: let’s go~
Mary | Satoshi Club: Let’s go 🚀

Q10 from telegram username @Derazy
A lot of new swap platforms are starting up and race with others. And it’s getting more competitive in the space. Regarding on that competition, what is O3 SWAP plan in order to be the top swap platform?
Tim | O3: Q10. most of the cross-chain technology in the current market belong to two categories, one is a bridge, the other is a hub; bridge mainly realizes asset packaging/transfer to another network, the limitation of Hub lies in all of the assets need to be deposited and converted into the form of the hub network and then allow users to accept the hub network assets. O3 team has worked hard on innovative explorations of cross-chain transactions. It is the first to use the method of the cross-chain pool to connect different liquidity of assets on the chain, allowing users to exchange cross-chain assets without asset deposit and withdrawal, which greatly reduces the threshold for user operations/transactions.
Part 3 – Quiz Results
