Sylant: Welcome everyone! We’re more than excited to be hosting our AMA with the much anticipated CCAI. The next-generation decentralized and centralized exchange built on top of the Solana blockchain is ready to shake up the industry. We’re thrilled to invite CCAI’s CEO, Hisham Khan into Sylant’s Room and chat about $CCAI.
Sylant: We’re dividing today’s AMA into a couple of sections:
Intro
The product
The company behind the product
Investment opportunity
Twitter Questions
Questions from the Telegram community
Hisham Khan: “Hello guys, thanks for having me here and excited to do the AMA.”
Sylant: Glad to have you! Are you ready for the first question?
Hisham Khan: “Sure, let’s get started.”
Sylant: Without holding you up any longer, let’s dive right in! Let’s start with a fun question to begin with. What were you doing before starting this AMA?
Hisham Khan: “I’ve certainly never been asked that before. I had lunch some time ago and was replying to emails right before the AMA. Boring stuff”
Sylant: Haha. Glad that we got you into Sylant’s room then! Can you tell us a bit more about who you are and about your project, $CCAI?
Hisham Khan: “Sure, I am Hisham Khan, the CEO & Co-founder of CCAI. I have been a product builder for 10 years, working at various fortune 500 companies as a Product Manager where I was involved in building enterprise software. This led me to Bloomberg eventually, where I got into the financial technology industry. I discovered crypto in early 2017 and became a long-term believer instantly. I left Bloomberg and have been working in this industry ever since.
Cryptocurrencies, Ai is a next-generation exchange offering CeFi and DeFi within one platform, with a full suite of trading products, so users don’t have to use multiple exchanges and trade their capital efficiently.
A trader can trade 125x Futures on our Centralized exchange and then easily move funds to our Solana wallet, where they can trade on our DEX, which is built on Serum/Solana, the world’s fastest and cheapest blockchain. Traders can put their capital to work by trading on the CeFi products or our DeFi products which will include pools and yield farming in the near future.
We also offer many innovative features to make advanced trading easy like our Smart trading.”
Sylant: Awesome! It sounds like you have a solid foundation to lead this project! I think we have a solid intro. Do you have anything else you’d like to add before we dive into the next section?
Hisham Khan: “We can start the next section, and I can dive deeper.”
The product
Sylant: Alright, sounds good! I think it’s about time to head into $CCAI’s product. The range of products CCAI is offering is impressive. Can you describe the term smart trading for those who haven’t been doing any research?
Hisham Khan: “Sure, Smart trading is an option on our exchange which enables traders to tap into advanced settings and order types which are not available on any other exchange. This provides traders with automation, customization, and more control over their portfolios with advanced Stop loss and Take profit settings, among many other features.
Hisham Khan: This video gives a quick overview of the Smart trading features:
Sylant: I like that! I love how you guys have clear videos that display your product, making it much easier to understand. Now, since you offer both a CEX and a DEX I’m wondering, how do the CEX compliment the DEX and vice versa?
Hisham Khan: “Great question. While we are going to be releasing our CEX in the near future, our DEX is already live and ready for use CCAI DEX is also one of the fastest DEXs in the world as it is built on Solana.
We believe that traders should have options and be able to easily invest across CeFi and DeFi, wherever they find the best investment opportunities. Our goal is to offer easier onboarding and seamless integration so that traders can select where they prefer to trade. We also focus on design and UX, especially on our DEX, to make it as intuitive as a CEX. There is no reason for DeFi to be complex.”
Sylant: You’re right. DeFi should be available for anyone, not just for the tech-savvy. Now, what would you say is THE killer feature that separates $CCAI from the hundreds of other exchanges out there?
Hisham Khan: “We wanted to make the experience of our CCAI Wallet and DEX such that traders could easily get integrated and use DeFi products. While this was the first step, we are working on some interesting features which will be coming out in the near future. Unfortunately, it is a bit of a surprise, and I can’t announce it yet.
Our CEX will offer Smart trading and Portfolio analysis unlike any other exchange in the industry. It truly makes advanced trading easy for every crypto trader.”
The company behind the product
Sylant: Thanks for the elaborate answers, I’ll surely give the CEX a try, and I’ve already played around with the DEX. It works like a charm! It feels quite exciting that the real exciting killer features are still under the radar. I’m seeing more and more people getting hyped about CCAI every single day. I know I can’t wait for $CCAI to hit the market. I’m convinced your product will be great, but without the right people to bring that idea to life, you’re still at zero. So, let’s dive into the team! You shared some information about yourself, but can you tell us a bit more about the rest of the team?
Hisham Khan: “Most of our team has been working together for multiple years now and we have developed a really strong bond and enjoy working on the future of financial technology and building cutting edge products. There is no other industry we would rather be in and this is what excites us about our work. Our core team is 8 people, and we have recently grown to 15 and look to grow a lot more in the coming days.”
Sylant: The coming days! Oh boy, that seems like you are expanding at an extremely rapid pace. Gotta love a passionate, hardworking team! How exciting to see so many talented individuals coming together to bring a product to life. Now, since we’re investors and many of our community members are as well, we like to briefly touch on the investment opportunity.
Investment opportunity
We’re not a big fan of speculating. Thus, we only have two small questions. What are the incentives for holding the $CCAI token?
Hisham Khan: We have seen DEX tokens and CEX tokens do really well and want to take the best utility from both of them and combine it under CCAI. More details will be coming out on this as well, but in summary, we want to take the best of BNB/FTT type token and Sushi, for instance, and incorporate as much utility under CCAI as possible.
Sylant: That sounds clever. There sure are lots of tokens to take inspiration from. On that note, there’s one thing an exchange requires to be successful is a large number of users. How do you aim to achieve this?
Hisham Khan: “Of course, users are the most important factor in all of this. While we have built innovative technology we are not focusing lots of efforts on marketing and brand building with things such as AMA’s, doing Youtube and Podcast interviews as well as PR. Additionally, we are trying to create local telegram communities in various regions to expand our network and spread our message.
There will also be a farming component which will be released after the launch of CCAI, and there will be more details around it coming out after the launch to bootstrap the growth of our products.”
Sylant: I like the sound of that — with tons of incentives and PR, people will start to head over to $CCAI, and eventually, the product will convince people to stick around. I have one final question before we dive into the community. It’s a bit of a cheeky one.
Would you be so kind as to give anything exclusive to everyone attending this AMA in terms of news or facts that people didn’t know about CCAI just yet?”
Hisham Khan: “I wish I could reveal something exciting, but I know lots of people are asking about the IDO date, so I just want to say that the team is working on announcing something in the coming days, and the wait will be over.”
Twitter Questions
Sylant: That’s what tons of people are waiting for. Guess it’s time to check out some of the quality questions from Twitter. The amount of support for the AMA on Twitter has amazed me. Thank you for the great questions! Don’t worry if your question isn’t selected. It was a hard pick! Are you ready?
Hisham Khan: “Sure, let’s do it.”
Sylant: There are four questions in total, and I’ll be sending them two at the time for your convenience. And if you have already touched on a topic earlier during the AMA, feel free to refer to that answer.
Sylant: From Boaz, “The implementation of Tradingview alerts is great. For non-coding traders who use Tradingview alerts but can’t set the DCA or other smart options in TV, can they combine TV alerts with the CCAI smart options?”
Hisham Khan: “We actually offer DCA directly in our Smart trading, so you won’t necessarily need to use Tradingview for this. But yes, you can use the Smart trading settings in parallel to the alerts coming from Tradingview, so you get to tap into the power of Tradingview and CCAI’s Smart trading.”
Sylant: From Jason ”Why did you mainly decide to build your DEX on Solana Blockchainchain? What makes you choose this decision? Can we expect to have a cross-chain trading solution? Does the Solana blockchain have any advantage over other blockchains?”
Hisham Khan: “We got into the Solana ecosystem last year when it was still early after realizing the amazing potential of this Blockchain. Solana has sub-second tx time and can process 50k tps which is simply the best in the industry and provides the perfect foundation for trading products and the ability to onboard 100’s of millions of people, potentially billions. We are looking at other chains but at the moment focused fully on Solana.”
Sylant: I think that’s the right focus for now — Solana Summer will be hot! On to the next two! 🙂
Sylant: From LK, “SWEET! I use primary binance futures trading. First used bybit, but didn’t stick to it. Who would be convinced to switch to #CCAI? In the recent market fall, we saw multiple cex and dex futures platforms struggling and even out of order moments. What does CCAI do to prevent this?
Hisham Khan: “If you are a trader that is frequently trading, then I would say the Smart trading feature would be a game-changer. You can easily set up your trade with multiple options and let the trade play out instead of being glued to the screen.
Also being a newer exchange helps since some of the biggest exchanges are seeing record users, and it puts a heavy load on their systems.”
Sylant: From Tran, “What is your strongest advantage that you think will make your team leading the market? In contrast, what is your weakness? How do you plan to overcome it?”
Hisham Khan: “We are one of the most determined teams that I know of. We were in the idea phase in the last bull run, started building throughout the bear market and now, in the current bull run, have the same dedication that we had before, if not more.
We are fortunate enough to have a great team, so when we identify any weakness, the team steps up. I would say the challenge currently is that there is always lots of noise in the bull market with many launches, and we have to ensure we succeed at building a strong community and set ourselves apart.”
Sylant: Dedication is key in my eyes!
Sylant: Thank you all for attending the AMA so far, but it’s time to open up the gates and let in the community. We’re unmuting the chat for a couple of minutes to make sure everyone has the opportunity to share their questions. We’ll then let Hisham answer some questions, and afterward, we’ll get in touch with the winning questions for their rewards!
Everyone ready?
- Insert a boatload of questions…
Damn! Those are a lot of questions! Alright, Hisham Khan, we’re muting the chat again and ask you to search for the questions that appeal to you the most, answer as many as you like! I think it works best that you pick around 3 or 4 questions max to keep this AMA limited in time.
Hisham Khan: “Sure, going through them now.”
Jack Downy: “CCAI offers users a tool called “Intelligent Trading,” but this tool performs automatic trading that allows users to generate some profit, right? Or does it facilitate possible entries and exits for users?”
Hisham Khan: We always have focused on user experience and believe that traders should have the right tools available to them. The best way to manage risk would be to explore our advanced settings for Stop loss and Take profit while entering a trade, so you have got a plan in place.
Mr Wagner: “Is $CCAI suitable for Crypto beginners? Or does it only appeal to professional users only?”
Hisham Khan: Good question. I would say CCAI is not for first-time buyers of crypto but if you have traded crypto on other exchanges then you can easily take advantage of all the tools CCAI has built as they are designed for traders of any skill level.
বিল গেটস এর বউ এখন আমার: “Is the $CCAI token already listed on an exchange or DEX, CEX and how do you get your $CCAI token and where I can buy? Can I give $CCAI token smart contract?”
Hisham Khan: CCAI token has not launched yet, and the IDO date will be announced soon.
Josheph Zain: “Who are your targeted audience and customers? What regions do you target specifically or are there any restrictions to users?”
Hisham Khan: Our target audience is the retails traders, and besides some of the restricted jurisdictions like the US, for instance, CCAI will be available in most parts of the world.
Mr jubair: “How many wallets can support $CCAI Token until now? And do you have any plan to build your own wallet?”
Hisham Khan: We already have the CCAI Wallet, and I encourage everyone to check it out and also trade on our DEX to experience the speed of Solana.
Sylant: Let’s wrap this baby up! I would like to thank you, Hisham Khan, and the community for joining this AMA!!
There is a lot to be excited about, that’s for sure! I can’t wait for $CCAI to reach its full potential, and you most definitely have won me as a user!
