## Team / Description
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
Web3 protocols spend millions on user acquisition, yet most of those users never convert, never understand the product, and never return.
|
||
|
||
NexID transforms education into a **verifiable, onchain acquisition funnel**, ensuring every rewarded user has actually learned, engaged, and executed.
|
||
|
||
In Web3, capital is onchain but user understanding isn’t. **NexID aims to close that gap.**
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## The Problem
|
||
|
||
Today, growth in Web3 is fundamentally broken:
|
||
|
||
- Protocols rely on quest platforms that optimize for **cheap, temporary metrics**
|
||
- Users farm rewards without understanding the product
|
||
- Retention is near zero, LTV is low, and conversion is unverified
|
||
|
||
To compensate, teams stitch together fragmented systems:
|
||
|
||
- Disjointed documentation
|
||
- Manual KOL campaigns
|
||
- Disconnected onchain tracking
|
||
|
||
This stack is:
|
||
|
||
- Expensive
|
||
- Fragile
|
||
- Highly susceptible to **Sybil farming and AI-generated spam**
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## The Solution: Verifiable Education
|
||
|
||
NexID introduces a new primitive: **proof of understanding as a condition for rewards.**
|
||
|
||
We enforce this through a closed-loop system:
|
||
|
||
### 1. Prove Attention
|
||
**Interactive Video + Proprietary Heartbeat**
|
||
|
||
- Video-based content increases engagement friction
|
||
- Heartbeat system tracks active presence in real time
|
||
- Passive playback and bot-like behavior are detected and penalized
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 2. Prove Understanding
|
||
**AI Semantic Grading**
|
||
|
||
- Users respond to randomized, offchain prompts
|
||
- AI agents evaluates answers for **technical depth and contextual accuracy**
|
||
- Copy-paste, low-effort, and AI-generated spam are rejected and penalized
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 3. Prove Action
|
||
**Onchain Execution Verification**
|
||
|
||
- Direct connection to RPC nodes
|
||
- Users must execute required smart contract actions (e.g., bridging, staking)
|
||
- Rewards distributed only upon verified execution
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
**Result:**
|
||
A fully verifiable acquisition funnel where protocols pay only for **real users who understand and use their product.**
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Market & Differentiation
|
||
|
||
**Target Market:** $1.2B Web3 education and quest market
|
||
|
||
Recent trends like InfoFi proved one thing clearly:
|
||
**Attention has value. But attention alone is easily gamed.**
|
||
|
||
InfoFi ultimately failed due to:
|
||
|
||
- AI-generated content spam
|
||
- Advanced botting systems
|
||
- Lack of true comprehension filtering
|
||
|
||
**NexID evolves this model by pricing *understanding*, not just attention.**
|
||
|
||
By combining AI agents with strict verification layers, we:
|
||
|
||
- Eliminate low-quality participation
|
||
- Maintain high signal-to-noise ratios
|
||
- Achieve ~85% gross margins through automation
|
||
|

||
|
||
## Q2 Catalyst: Live Video Agents
|
||
|
||
NexID is evolving from static education into **real-time, AI-driven interaction.**
|
||
|
||
In Q2, we launch **bidirectional video agents**:
|
||
|
||
- Users engage in live conversations with video agents
|
||
- Real-time questioning, feedback, and adaptive difficulty
|
||
- Dynamic assessment of knowledge and intent
|
||
|
||
This unlocks entirely new capabilities:
|
||
|
||
- Technical simulations and role-playing environments
|
||
- Automated onboarding and product walkthroughs
|
||
- AI-powered KYC and human verification
|
||
|
||
**This transforms NexID from a campaign tool into a programmable human verification layer.**

||
## Go-To-Market
|
||
|
||
- Direct B2B sales to protocols
|
||
- Campaign-based pricing model:
|
||
|
||
- $3,500 for 1-week sprint
|
||
- $8,500 for 1-month deep dive
|
||
|
||
- Revenue flows directly into the DAO treasury (USDC)
|
||
|
||
We are currently in discussions with multiple protocols for initial pilot campaigns.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## Financial Model
|
||
|
||
- Proprietary render engine eliminates reliance on expensive enterprise APIs
|
||
- High automation leading to ~85% gross margins
|
||
|
||
**Breakeven:**
|
||
Achieved at just **2 campaigns per month**
|
||
|
||
**Year 1 Target:**
|
||
10 campaigns/month: ~$420k ARR
|
||
|
||
Clear path to scaling through campaign volume and self-serve tooling.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Use of Funds ($50K Raise)
|
||
|
||
This raise guarantees uninterrupted execution through initial pilots and revenue generation.
|
||
|
||
### Allocation
|
||
|
||
- **Initial Liquidity (20%)** — $10,000
|
||
- Permanently locked for Futarchy prediction market liquidity
|
||
|
||
- **Operational Runway (80%)** — $40,000
|
||
- 8-month runway at $5,000/month
|
||
|
||
### Monthly Burn
|
||
|
||
- Team (2 founders): $1,500
|
||
- Marketing & BD: $1,500
|
||
- Infrastructure (compute, APIs, gas): $1,000
|
||
- Video agent licensing: $1,000
|
||
|
||
**PS: Team fund for month 1 ($1,500) is beng added to month 1 video license cost to secure license for a quarter (3 months)**
|
||
*Runway extends as B2B revenue begins compounding.*

## Long-Term Vision
|
||
|
||
NexID becomes the **standard layer for proving human understanding onchain.**
|
||
|
||
Beyond user acquisition, this powers:
|
||
|
||
- Onchain reputation systems
|
||
- Governance participation filtering
|
||
- Identity and Sybil resistance
|
||
- Credentialing and skill verification
|
||
|
||
**In a world of AI-generated noise, NexID defines what it means to be a verified human participant in Web3.**
