Andrew Norton — COO of OMEGA Labs
Andrew: Hey everyone, I’m Andrew, COO of Omega Network.Omega Network is an innovative networking Layer 1 blockchain. We’re not just making fancy algorithms and code here; we want to make blockchain part of everyday life. We aim to popularize blockchain, bring blockchain out of the tech labs and into the mainstream, to make it as common as your daily dropout, like morning cups of coffee or afternoon delight with cups of tea.We’re pioneering a revolutionary platform where social interactions and monetary transactions blend seamlessly.
Andrew: Well, our Secret sauce is the inherently social nature of the platform. It’s like a digital version of word-of-mouth where users bring their friends and family into the Omega family, creating this vibrant, interconnected community.
Andrew: When we look around the industry, we see that most projects focus on becoming financial institutions or tools. But here at Omega, we take a different approach. For us, it’s all about the users first. We’re creating a platform that hosts an array of ecos to ease Web 2.0 users into the realm of blockchain. We’ve already brought a staggering 2.8 million users into the Web 3.0 world. That’s not easy, and it took a lot of trial and error to get there. A lot of our users were completely new to the crypto scene when they first joined Omega Network.
Andrew: Currently, we’ve taken a big leap by officially launching our mainnet and providing open access to developer tools. As we move into the next quarter, we’re shifting our primary focus onto developing the mainnet eco. Another exciting development is the creation of a DAO structure, we’ve named it the Omega DAO.
Andrew: At the moment, most of our OMN tokens are in the hands of users – users have already minted 140 million tokens via Omega Network app. When we hit the Token Generation Event (TGE), 25% of these tokens will become unlocked. The remaining tokens will follow suit, unlocked gradually at a pace of 1% per day over a span of 75 days. What’s important to note here is that any tokens mined after TGE aren’t locked - they’re free to be traded.
