Project Goal: So far, “traditional” social networks (web2) are centralized, where most of the value created is controlled and belongs to an entity, paid by advertisers for our attention, while users fight for followers and likes as a measurement of perceived success, fame, and ego reinforcement.
NEFTME is a “Create to Earn” NFTs social network app, where its users can monetize by creating content in NFT format, whether in photo, video, or sound.
Project Description:
How it All Began!
What is NEFTME?
NEFTME is a “Create to Earn” NFTs social network app, where its users can monetize by creating content in NFT format, whether in photo, video, or sound.
This NFTs social network allows its users to buy, sell and invest in each other content, making them earn $NEFT tokens, which can be swapped for money!
Finally, we developed NEFTME Challenges, a new and fun way to communicate, that allows users to challenge each other in exchange for tokens.
The concept is super simple. You can propose to your friends 3 types of challenges: “surprise me”, “challenge me” or, If you are creative, “write your own challenge.” Once they accept, they will have 24h to submit the completed challenge to you…
NEFTME Core Features
-
Neftme allows its users to buy, sell and invest (Staking), in each other’s content, making them earn $NEFT tokens, based on the % for the community defined for each NFT previously created, on the number of tokens “locked” at the time on the NFT, and in the number of people already “locked” on that NFT. Finally, users will be able to swap $NEFT Tokens for money!
-
Users will be able to share with their friends all the cool collectibles they have whether in photo, video, or sound.
-
Challenge their friends in exchange for tokens! Challenges will be in the form of NFTs and can be a picture, video or sound! https://www.notion.so/neftme/Challenges-4706c5efc6af44eb95302daba72d45eb

Lives: allow users to donate NEFTs while another user is doing a livestream. Or ask the users to pay x NEFTs to be able to view the live session.

TEAM
I’m always thinking about business and business strategies to succeed and test new disruptive ideas for the market. I always want to shorten the flows of any process or create things that have never been seen, creating a need for the market.
On the other hand (and speaking of perseverance), NEFTME is a perfect example where with only 25k$, we managed to create our MVP (without big support and financing, with the market in total bear market) and we are heading in the right direction. , even without great resources but always focused on success. We are currently in alpha 4 version, which makes us the right example of believing and fighting for success
Basically I believe that NEFTME compiles 3 different worlds: very strong people in the tech area (both in web2 and web3), very competent people in the area of operations, continuous improvement and optimization of processes and people with a very large network of contacts ( at the level of global personalities) that will make a difference in terms of the go to market strategy and the traction of the dApp at the end point.
NEFTME team is a multitasked team with background and experience on both web2 and web3 worlds.

Project goals
NEFTME proposes to develop a differentiating and disruptive product on a global scale, where users can truly monetize through their own content. The NEFTME team has analyzed the market trends and feels that this is the moment to build a product like the one we are developing and which we believe will have a strong absorption in the world market.
Finally, the design of our marketing strategy and influential people from different markets and countries could be the key to our success, combined with 52 actions designed to have a strong impact on our product, in all of us.
Milestones
We are currently on Alpha 4 testing phase of our dAPP and raising a Pre-seed round so we can get to Beta version in the end of the year.
Here goes our Roadmap:
$NEFT Fund raise
We are seeking $50K USD and currently on pre-seed funding raise in SAFE and SAFT models with a $NEFT Token price of $0.01 vs TGE price of $0.05 min ticket $50k
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Since we are a blockchain operator with an utility token, we will be able to provide ownership to users content, based on NFTs. With this ownership we will be able to give them money, based on their content´s traction, as well as a very cool featured called CHALLENGES, that will make social interactions very fun and easy inside Neftme with our 3 types of challenges for tokens, “Surprise me”, “Challenge me” and “Write your own challenge”.
We want to target two types of users.
Target A: Young social network users, from 16 - 30 years, in developed countries
Target B: Users with mobile phones in underdeveloped countries, so they can earn some tokens, and swap them for money to pay for food and services.
