Macroeconomy, financial crisis, inflationary money system, deflationary tech, corruption and hot babes. Had you at the last one eh? :)

Introduction: Change & Disruption

During the advent of the Internet era, Boomers called us young punks who didn’t know better, who wanted it fast, scalable and instantaneous. Many were made redundant.

Then we went ahead of ourselves in the Internet bubble. Many were made redundant and broke, again.

Nevertheless we see the cycle repeat itself, each time with a new shiny solution turned lethal in our hands.

Why Web3: Is it Worth it? What’s in it for me?

Traditional media & systems - centralized planning, opaque practices with power in silos and budgeting, linear programming, one-to-many, non-scalability and shady measurements. “It is as I say it is”

Web 1.0 - scalability, instant, few to many, old school emails with text only, network driven which saw an improvement from single seats of knowledge/ power.

Web 2.0 - platform-driven, marketplaces which curated demand and supply, rise of the big tech which solved problems of the knowledge economy, rewarding themselves with walled gardens of user data as commodity.

Web 3.0 - the cusp of a new era with a paradigm is shifting towards trustless and permissionless systems that empower individuals and communities.

You own your data, your assets, your content as an anonymous and decide when/ how/ if you’d monetize it. Your eyeballs are no longer direct products to be sold through an intermediary.

Sounds abit much? Why bother?

Just think about back in Web 1.0 and 2.0 days - innovation was funded via startup-VC fundraising behind closed doors (boardroom, not bedroom ser) through the elite few.

In today’s Web 3.0: No doors, remote 30 mins or 5 mins pitch…

Heck even public fundraising options are available via tokenization/ digital communities for entities with an enterprise goal.

Startup, innovation and rewards has become accessible.

And so are your options to invest, with informed decisions

We think that’s worth every pain Web 3.0 brings. Innovation that is incentivized, enables disruption to happen at every level.

Funding for innovation is democratized.

There are more paths to financial freedom at all levels.

And we get to throw ideas and execution at problems until it sticks/ is solved. Something’s bound to work evolve.

On the other end - what’s the risk of status quo?

• Sticking to things that work until they no longer work

• Innovation is stifled by hegemony of the elite few and so is capital flow

• Currency is weaponized and inflation results. As citizens we work more for less. That’s it.

Guy of Coin Bureau sums it best:

This brings us to the notion of the Network State - Balaji. Of which we identify with the key principles.

Startup driven economy/ state which is increasingly democratized for the many instead of the few.

Ethos behind Web3

We believe the ethos underlying decentralized technologies and digital assets should be:

• Challenge status quo for the better (there is no right answer, only a workable solution when the systems develop cracks or break)

• Opportunities for self-sovereignty, towards an informed path to financial freedom

• Collaborative ownership

• Collective consciousness like a hive mind, underpinned by a strong appetite for information, education, application that welcomes change and innovation

• Deflationary assets ($BITCOIN) and tech - which augments productivity and serves the furthering the evolution of humanity.

Project Bae: Pillars (❤️,💰)

Empowering freedom and sovereignty through digital assets

In today's world, the traditional financial system is plagued with issues such as inflation, currency devaluation, centralization, and manipulation. The USD, the currency of the world, has faced challenges and uncertainties that have eroded the trust of many.

As a result, people are seeking alternative means to protect their wealth and gain financial independence.

Project Bae is an initiative to educate, entertain and bring greater awareness to digital assets and the concept of a startup state.

Let’s face it.

Web3 and digital assets barriers to adoption are

• Immense learning curve which requires much education and interest

• Walled web3 communities only make this more isolating/ elitist

• Venture capitalists heavy projects although a symbol of “legit”, only serves to lure normies in as exit liquidity.

We’re doing the opposite. DEX, waifu, chill (❤️,💰)

1) Educate + Entertain + Gamify = Enabling mass awareness

Yes - waifus and memes. Think $DOGE + High utility products

2) 100% Community Led. Inclusive, collaborative. (non VC led)

We are inclusive to all who aspire to be part of a united community on the above cause. Just not into enabling dumping on you. How far we go up the moon, it’s up to the community.

3) High Utility, Giving Value First

Due to above reasons, the roadmap for Project Bae is designed to have high utility, giving value first in entertainment.

1. Yield Generating BAE NFTs via Staking ( DEX swap fees, LP)

   1. Community members can stake their NFT assets in exchange for yield generated through revenue from swap fees, LP mining

   2. As well as the potential appreciation of the NFT assets over time as we are build utility over it for holders.

2. Launch $BAE DEX (Arbitrum)

   1. NFT purchases will be airdropped $BAE DEX tokens to foster an inclusive community-driven build-and-use for all things Baeverse.

3. Interactive AI Companion + Phygital Gated Content

   1. Building ground up from NFTs → Phygital entertainment. As a next generation Replika chat companion but as a SIRI interface, taking into context location inputs.

   2. Bae NFT holders will have a base model of this, on which the AI companions can be accessorized. The aim is to offer premium features for enhanced functionalities and access to exclusive content.

   3. Additionally, partnerships as gated content as an area we are vested towards, for both creating greater awareness and the purposes of revenue generation for the community.

4. Gamified NFT Staking PVP

   1. NFT holders will be able to stake and battle for yields via a gamified PVP.
