Interview with Ian Manson, Storyboarding and World Builder at JustAGame

Press Release • May 07, 2022

Dear Ian, thanks for taking the time to join me in this interview to educate our community on JustAGame. Can you give us a brief introduction to you? What is your story, dating back as far as you wish?



Traditionally I am a filmmaker or storyteller. I started life as a photographer and just became more and more curious about how images can take you on a journey. I guess the natural evolution for me was to make films. I have been really lucky and worked with some amazing people who have helped to steer me to this point.


My most recent projects have been “The Final 45” which is a WW2 psychological thriller set in occupied France in 1943. My Documentary “United in Lockdown” is in the final stages of post-production. And “In Circles” is a drama set in the clandestine world of crop circle makers.


Why did you get involved in the cryptocurrency industry, and where do you think the industry will be in 5–10 years?


Like most things in my life, the honest answer is by accident. I received a phone call and was asked, could I help with a storyline for a new NFT game. Once I was able to dive into it, I realized how expansive storytelling can get within a game. I’m excited to see the worlds we are going to build over time. I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey and I hope that the players will too.


But for the second part of your question. Where will the industry be in 5 or 10 years. I think it’s really where society will be in that time period. I fear that there will be those with crypto assets and those without. And I know which side of that fence I will be on. But for me the keyword is fear, I think that we need to think about that and how we can democratize and encourage adoption for all. The crypto world is not going away and I worry about those that will be left behind. That’s one of the reasons I fell in love with creating stories for blockchain games. I truly believe that blockchain gaming will offer everybody a chance to play and earn, regardless of their social status or where they are from.


Ian Manson, Storyboarding and World Builder at JustAGame

That’s amazing. Now can you give us an introduction to JustAGame. and its history?

I joined the team in November 2021. All I can say is that in my time I have been part of a really professional outfit that is so passionate about the project that it is really quite humbling. I am very proud of what we are doing and am convinced that it will be a great success.


So how did you get started with Just A Game, and why? Early on, did you see an opportunity to fill a void in the market?


Yes. I think we all saw the opportunity. But for me it’s the values of the team. Yes there are rewards to be had, But it’s what being a founder can mean for ordinary people. When I say ‘founders’, I’m also including the early NFT holders that will be airdropped tokens after the IDO. We believe that early adopters should be rewarded and have a stake in the project. I love that we are playing on the blockchain and that our founders will have an important role in how we develop. I think that is what is really exciting. It’s what other people and partners are going to bring.


What has been the biggest challenges for you and Just A Game since you started the project?

It has actually been running pretty smoothly. Everyone knows what is expected of them and they all consistently deliver. I actually look forward to getting on the calls and making it happen.


That said, I am a bit of a technical luddite so I have been having to learn new stuff all the time and some of that has been a challenge. There have been tears before bedtime. But a lot of laughs too.


Understood. Now what has been your greatest achievement thus far, and what has been the biggest failure or setback personally or in the history of the company?


For me it was the challenge of writing in a completely new format and in a new style. There were times when I felt I wasn’t getting it right. But it is a very natural place to be in a creative environment. You have to push yourself to make things happen. I think that it took me a while to truly understand who our characters are. But once you get there, you kind of fall in love with them and it starts to write itself.

What is the next step for JustAGame in the next 1–2 years?


The next steps for us are the really exciting parts. We are going to have founders and other partners who are going to add so much to our community. They are going to bring ideas that we probably wouldn’t have thought of to the table. It is the fuel for the creative fire.


There are going to be other game providers joining our platform. The possibilities are almost endless.

I have started to write the second game, but by the time we get to the third, I am hopeful that this will really start to feel like a collaboration within the Just A Game community. To me that is what it is about. I really can’t wait


Where can people support you and JustAGame? Other than that, thank you for your time — any final words?

If for any reason people want to know about me just click on the IMDB link and you will see my profile there. The links to the website, twitter, telegram, and discord are listed below.


I guess my final words are. I feel this is an exciting project that has been created by a really talented bunch of people. They all have big track records and have done tons of amazing things in the past. When you look to get involved with a community check out the scope of it. But then the people behind it. I think that Just A Game all adds up. And more importantly, I hope some of you will help to steer our future.

Unlock AI High-Frequency Trading with Marine Moguls ERC-404 Airdrop

By Press Release • 07 May, 2024
The 25th of May 2024 will mark a significant milestone in blockchain and high-frequency trading when MetFi DAO launches its highly anticipated ERC-404 Marine Moguls collection. With a stunning array of 10,000 tokens/NFTs and prizes totaling ~2.9 Million USDT, this TGE is not just an ERC-404 launch—it's a revolution in digital asset management and high-frequency trading.  What Makes ERC-404 Stand Out? At the heart of Marine Moguls is the ERC-404 protocol, a groundbreaking development in blockchain technology that redefines the concept of fungibility and non-fungibility. Unlike traditional NFTs, which are strictly unique and not always easily traded, ERC-404 brings the fungibility of tokens to non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This unique and innovative approach allows $MOGUL token holders to own the entire Marine Moguls NFT collection partially, making high-value digital assets more accessible and liquid by providing instant 24/7 NFT liquidity. It’s a perfect blend of security and versatility, providing a solid platform for seasoned investors and crypto newcomers alike. Impressive Returns with MetBot Each of the 10,000 NFTs serves as a gateway to exclusive benefits, including access to MetBot, MetFi's advanced AI trading bot that generated 80% returns during its 2-month pre-alpha trial and 8% in its first 7 days of live alpha. MetBot is engineered to maximize returns through intelligent, automated AI trading that is effective in all market conditions. Importantly, your funds remain in your account, under your control, and you can withdraw them anytime. Crafting and Merging NFTs Innovation continues with the ability to craft and merge NFTs within the Marine Moguls ecosystem to unlock ~2.9 Million USDT worth of prizes attached to 25% of the NFT collection. This feature allows users to upgrade and combine their NFTs, enhancing their attributes, increasing their value within the marketplace, and unlocking prizes like 100,000 USDT and 50,000 $METFI. Whether you’re a collector seeking to own the ultimate digital asset or an investor looking to maximize returns, the crafting and merging capabilities introduce a dynamic new layer to ERC-404 NFT ownership. Staking and APY Benefits Ownership of a whole $MOGUL token grants access to MetBot and eligibility for staking. Token holders can stake their $MOGUL tokens to receive generous Annual Percentage Yields (APY) estimated to be 260% if 25% of $MOGUL are staked and higher if less are staked. Staking adds further utility via accumulation and solidifies Marine Moguls as a robust staking opportunity. Join the Revolution As we approach the launch on May 25th, the excitement is palpable. The innovative combination of the ERC-404 protocol, ~2.9 Million USDT in prizes, and integrating Marine Moguls with MetBot's high-frequency trading capabilities offers a unique and compelling value proposition. By joining the Marine Moguls campaign, you are not just participating in an airdrop but stepping into the forefront of a digital revolution. Whether you want to expand your digital portfolio, unlock advanced AI trading, or simply explore cutting-edge blockchain technology, Marine Moguls provides a platform to do just that. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to be part of something extraordinary. Please visit our website for more information and to participate in the airdrop and launch. Join us as we unlock the future of high-frequency trading with MetBot and Marine Moguls ERC-404. Let’s set sail on this exciting journey together! About Marine Moguls and MetBot by MetFi Marine Moguls and MetBot, powered by MetFi DAO, redefine AI and digital asset integration using the pioneering ERC-404 protocol. This initiative sets a new standard for blockchain utility, merging token fungibility with the unique traits of NFTs for instant 24/7 NFT liquidity and fractional NFT ownership, broadening access and appeal. Alongside, MetBot dramatically enhances the ecosystem's value.

Users of the $MAO token can benefit from staking rewards, NFT token compensation, governance participation, and transaction fee payment. These utilities make $MAO a valuable asset for users in various ways. Staking allows them to earn passive income while participating in the governance process and gives them a voice in decision-making.

The team also included the establishment of community social media accounts for marketing purposes in this phase. Stage 2 will see further developments.

Feline crypto enthusiasts now have a golden opportunity to join this cool new project.  After years of dog-themed memes market domination, MAOCAT wants to shake things up and give cats the spotlight they deserve. Becoming a proud MAOCAT holder is as easy as connecting a hot wallet and purchasing tokens on the presale page. A Golden Opportunity for Feline Crypto Fans The MAOCAT's presale presents a new opportunity for feline crypto enthusiasts. The operation has already managed to sell over half of its planned tokens. This leaves an exciting prospect for investors to purchase the remaining MAOCAT tokens. In Phase 1, the starting price of the token is $0.0015, but it will gradually increase to $0.003, phase after phase. With a total supply of 5,000,000,000 tokens, the presale allocation is 60% of this amount. In terms of taxation structure, the MAOCAT project has a clear system in place. With a 3% marketing tax, 3% LP tax, and 2% development tax, there are no buy and sell taxes. In terms of rewards, users can benefit from staking rewards, NFT token compensation, governance participation, and transaction fee payments. It is also worth mentioning that the project features four pillars within its ecosystem: An NFT collection of 10,000 unique MAO CAT NFTs An NFT marketplace on the Ethereum blockchain A decentralized exchange (DEX) called MAO SWAP for DeFi 2.0 solutions A gaming platform for users to enjoy and earn rewards using $MAO tokens In this context, MAO tokens will serve as the primary utility tokens for all these ecosystems. This means that MAO will effectively be the core asset for this community. How to Become a Proud MAOCAT Holder Buying MAO tokens is straightforward. To start, traders must have a compatible cryptocurrency wallet that supports ERC-20 tokens. MetaMask is a popular option. Once the wallet is ready, users can access the MAOCAT presale platform through its official website. Once on the platform, users must connect their wallets to enable transactions.

As the team's 3-stage roadmap shows, this project is only getting started. In short, the team will continue to launch various features and initiatives to develop the MAOCAT ecosystem further. This includes the launch of the Mao cat game, 10,000 NFTs, and an NFT marketplace on platforms like Opensea. About MAOCAT MAOCAT is a new Ethereum cat memecoin that is quickly gaining popularity.
