AMA with Dmitry Gerasimov, April 17, 2025

Hello everyone! I’m Dmitry Gerasimov, the leader of the Cellframe Network project, and here is our regular AMA session. Let's begin from the questions that you have sent us before!

How can transaction fees and staking rewards affect $CELL tokenomics over time?

First of all, there are two different questions about transaction fees. Low fees result in lower income for validators, reducing their motivation to participate in the network. Higher fees, on the other hand, make the network less attractive to end-users, as they may perceive the transaction costs as too high and start looking for alternative protocols with lower fees. Therefore, a balance must be struck.

What are the top 3 most important milestones that could drive a strong price rally?

I see three different kinds of events that could have an impact.

First, any news about progress in quantum computing. The more significant this progress is, the greater its effect on the price will be.

Second, general growth in the crypto market as a whole.

Third, the rise of similar projects — such as growth in third-generation blockchain projects, post-quantum cryptocurrencies, or any Layer 0(L0) protocol.

How do you plan to ensure deep liquidity on new exchanges to support stability and growth $CELL price?

We are preparing a new program for liquidity providers, which will be based on our new CF-01 standard. We are actively working on this initiative. At the same time, we still have resources allocated for listings and liquidity provision on those listings, so there’s no need to worry — we are already handling it. Additionally, we are developing a new liquidity provision program based on the CF-01 standard to further support liquidity providers.

Experts predict a move of stock investors into crypto. Does the Cellframe team have plans to attract them?

Yes, we have such plans. Our marketing and promotion efforts are divided into different directions. Some promotional activities target crypto-savvy users — those who are already familiar with the crypto industry. Meanwhile, other efforts focus on newcomers: traders who have experience in traditional markets (like the stock market) but are considering transitioning to crypto. We are keeping these users in mind and have specific strategies to attract them as well.

Recently the project website updated the data on the total and circulating supply of $CELL. Please comment on these figures.

They should have been updated a long time ago. The delay was due to bureaucratic issues with CoinMarketCap (CMC) and CoinGecko (CG). Additionally, the process involves multiple verification stages, and we've only completed some of them so far.

The calculations are somewhat complex because we operate across numerous networks. We made some calculation errors initially, but they've since been corrected. Now these verifications are complete, the data has been updated.

When is the final transition to the updated Cellframe Wallet scheduled?

In the coming weeks, I believe we are now focusing intensely on releasing Celframe Wallet next week. After that, I think we'll need a few weeks to complete the transition to the Celframe Wallet.

By the way, all the Celframe Dashboard functionality is still included in the Celframe Wallet, so all dashboard features remain available.

Are you planning to launch a web version of Cellframe DEX like UniSwap?

Yes, it's currently in development. The first stage will only allow users to view activity on the Cellframe DEX, while trading will still need to be done through the main application.

What is the current progress of KelVPN 8.0 release preparations?

We are in the final stage before release, so it should happen any moment now. Personally, I'm satisfied with this version — it works well on my end. We're just waiting for it to be polished enough for public release.

Are you planning to conduct co-marketing efforts with companies focused on the quantum technology? For example, with Nvidia or IBM?

For this, we first need some interest from their side. You see, it's a different technology — they develop hardware and mathematical algorithms for this hardware, while we integrate existing algorithms that should work directly with their hardware. So yes, there could be some overlapping interests. However, it's not easy to find them.

How are other projects in the Cellframe ecosystem such as QEVM helping to increase demand for the $CELL token?

First of all, all network fees are paid in $CELL tokens. To trade on QEVM within the Cellframe Backbone Network, you'll need to pay fees in $CELL. Additionally, the Cellframe DEX will see increased trading volume from such projects. Last but not least (and equally important), the Cellframe Auction will require users to stake $CELL to obtain QEVM tokens. So here's the use case, you see.

With Newland Technology joining DeFactory, are there plans for strategic collaborations in IoT, smart city, or enterprise systems?

Better to ask Node.sys. I don't know such details.

How can this accelerate the adoption of Cellframe and CF-20 in real infrastructure projects?

You've just outlined the key adoption and integration points: IoT, smart cities, and enterprise solutions — Cellframe can be integrated everywhere.

What other projects are planning to launch in the Cellframe ecosystem?

There are upcoming projects focused on AI and streaming. Stay tuned!

Are you planning to attend the CPNK Cellframe Mainnet birthday party? Maybe you will be playing a DJ set there?

Exactly! I'll be there, and I'll DJ at this party.

How many people of Сellframe will be participating in the Blockchain Forum in Moscow?

Five.

What's the main goal or focus on this event?

Networking, exposure, these two are the main goals.

Okay, that was all, thank you for your attention and for the questions you have sent before. We are CELL, we are here! Goodbye!
