AMA Recap Crypto Library with Venice
On 21st January 2022, Venice conducted an AMA in the Crypto Library
Community. Our guest is Alex Park. Lots of questions as usual from
the Community about Venice progress. The Venice team took part in a
very interesting AMA session which included introductions, questions
from twitter, and a live AMA session with the Crypto Library community.
If you missed the AMA in person, read this recap for a deeper insight
into Venice.
Let’s take a look at the most interesting points of our conversation.
INTRODUCTION
Crypto Library Team : So, before we start the AMA could you please introduce yourself to our community?
Alex (Venice) : Hi Everyone, this is Alex Park, Head of Marketing at Venice Finance At
Venice Finance, I am leading the marketing and growth team to pioneer
and innovate the blockchain ecosystem. After
graduating from USC in 2013, I have spent almost 7 years in the Fintech
industry and got involved in the Blockchain field in 2019. Before
joining Venice, I was the Chief Marketing Officer for a cross-border
payment company based in Asia, where I gained valuable insights on the
friction & pain points of the legacy payment system. I certainly
understand the need to revolutionize every block in the #TradFi system
and how blockchain helps transform it with more decentralization and
transparency; also, after so many years of experience dealing with kyc
providers and capricious regulations, I also understand the importance
of privacy preservation to build a real, open, decentralized financial
system. The Venice Team consists of experts with a strong technical background for various fields:
1.
Tanmay, software advisory. Tanmay has past experience being a senior
software developer on OneLedger; Research Scientist for Conduent.
2. Taylor, a UC Berkeley graduate with an Architecture background who had previously worked as a private consultant for 2 years. Taylor joined Venice to use his project management skills to strengthen the team and help the team work more efficiently.
3. Oleks, frontend engineer, team lead of Venice. Oleks has 18 years of experience in the IT industry with multiple languages and tools. Before joining Venice, Oleks has past experience in Findora and another blockchain project where he built a wallet and worked a lot on improving and extending their block explorer. Oleks has also implemented Ledge integration into the wallet, and built a wallet chrome extension and worked on maintaining and supporting their SDK.
4. Sergio, cryptography advisory at Venice. Sergio worked as an innovation cryptography manager. He had led a team of developers to implement cryptography algorithms and explored prosing blockchain applications to the business using SAFe methodology for development.

FIRST SEGMENT (HOST)Crypto Library Team : What is Venice Finance? and how your team begin the process of creating this project?
Alex (Venice) : Venice is the next-generation, Zero Knowledge powered decentralized
exchange, primarily focused on privacy preservation, front-running
resistance and cross-chain liquidity aggregation. At launch, Venice will
be the first front-running resistant, privacy-preserving Automated
Market Maker (AMM) Decentralized Exchange (DEX) in the world. Front-running
has always been a problem for DEX and AMMs. Front running is When a
trader sticks with the deal, watching the price accumulation, and
figuring out when to slip past the other traders at the final possible
moment to make a profit, since blockchain transactions are broadcast
publicly, people on the lookout can spot large deals about to take place
and submit their own trades to profit from the scenario. Good news is
the Bulletproofs functionality can solve this problem and it is now live
on Findora's privacy-preserving UTXO ledger. Venice supports
trades/swaps wherein the asset type and amount are masked, effectively
removing any chance of malicious users exploiting the system. It also
provides an elegant mechanism to prevent front-running while maintaining
the ideology behind a completely decentralized and transparent system.Choose Venice Finance for the best trading experience, most economical trading cost and safest trading.
Crypto Library Team : What services and features are/will be available on Venice Finance?
Alex (Venice) : Venice is the first-of-its-kind, front-running resistant,
privacy-preserving AMM DEX, Venice stands out because of the following
strength:
- Advanced cryptography algorithms including Bulletproofs, Turbo-PLONK, MPC, etc. to encrypt smart contract inputs. Venice enjoys a function of front-running resistance and full anonymity to protect users from value extracting players.
- Community -Oriented Governance as VENI’s innovative deflationary tokenomics design and game-theoretic-inspired mining mechanism guarantees long-term sustainability of Venice protocol. We let venetians collectively decide on the optimum solution for the protocol through farming, staking and voting.
- Chain-agnostic liquidity hub. Venice allows users to frictionlessly and trustlessly move the liquidity inter-ecosystem without revealing their position or identity.We are very different from any of the Vanilla AMM dex on the market. Veni has a lot of use cases down the road including governance, lottery, launchpad participation, etc , just to name a few…
Crypto Library Team : Please tell us about $VENI token. What are the token difference, use-case, distribution, and where we can buy/get it?
Alex (Venice) : Venice is well-positioned for community-led growth with the introduction
of VENI (FRC-20 standard) to guarantee such sustainability, led by a
dedicated governance mechanism and shared community ownership. A total of 1 billion VENI tokens will be minted at genesis. Venice
features a unique deflationary economy design in which - at the VENI
token issuance master smart contract level - a per-transfer 0.2% tax
policy will be enforced and sent to a blackhole address. Effectively,
VENI is a DEX platform token which incorporates a tax that creates clear
deflation for every on-chain movement. A 5% average movement per day
creates an effective deflation of 4% annually. The majority of VENI tokens will be distributed via Community Incentives
and Liquidity Mining to achieve a balance of high market utilization
and a wide distribution of governance participants. VENI holders can
propose improvements (e.g. adjusting pool parameters, integrating new
ecosystems) and collectively decide on the optimum solution for the
protocol. The Veni currency is DEFLATIONARY. Community Mining Allocation Breakdown:
2% each month for TGE+5mon, 0.5% each month for TGE+5mon onwards until finish
1% each month for TGE~TGE+5mon, 0.5% each month for TGE+6mon~TGE+12mon, 0.25% each month for TGE+12mon onwards until finish
- 20%
2% each month for TGE+5mon, 0.5% each month for TGE+5mon onwards until finish
- 17%
1% each month for TGE~TGE+5mon, 0.5% each month for TGE+6mon~TGE+12mon, 0.25% each month for TGE+12mon onwards until finish
- 6%
- 0.5%
We also have a burning mechanism for transaction fees etc toi make sure the VENI supply is deflationary and scarce.Currently
we just finished our private round token placement. We are going to
have public sale. It seems to me that participating in the public sale
is the only way to get VENI tokens for now before the liquidity mining
starts. VENI tokens are not listed anywhere yet. Please be aware of
scams.
Crypto Library Team : Could you give us some information about your roadmap, your milestones, and also your future plans?
For Venice being so young and new, we’re currently focusing on gaining
as much publicity as we can. Before our launch in January 2022. We are
working in partnership with some industry leading blockchain companies,
including Tokensoft, Polygon and Findora and many more to come. Per our roadmap here are what Venice plan to tackle in the year of 2022:
Venice
is designed to function as the first front-running resistant,
privacy-preserving AMA DEX offering unique functionalities such as
advanced cryptography algorithms including Bulletproofs, Turbo-PLONK,
MPC, etc. to encrypt smart contract inputs. Venice will launch different
versions on Testnet and Mainnet, and integrate bridge to Ethereum and
BSC, Bitcoin, Harmony and Arbitrum, and Polygon. We will receive $10
million liquidity in Governance & VENI community DAO provided by
Findora Foundation. We plan to and roll out single-sided liquidity
provision, staking rewards auto-compounding, stablecoin swap , and the
launchpad for new project incubation next year. Going forwards, we
expect community members to participate.
SECOND SEGMENT (TWITTER)
Crypto Library Team : What I see at VENICE FINANCE is very concerned about privacy and
liquidity aggregation across the chain. So, what tools will
VeniceFinance use to defend itself in terms of usability and privacy?
Alex (Venice) : Advanced cryptography algorithms including Bulletproofs, Turbo-PLONK,
MPC, etc. to encrypt smart contract inputs. Venice enjoys a function of
front-running resistance and full anonymity to protect users from value
extracting players. These are the newest cutting edge zero knowledge primitives. We are
working on enhancing the cryptography support inside the EVM to make
these privacy preserving transactions work well. For example,
Bulletproofs are very efficient in hiding asset amounts and asset types.
Plonk is jack-for-all-trades that can effectively form a "DARK POOL"
dex. We also have KYC friendly address recreator that will help
anonymize the user's identity. well, just a lot of new features in the
pipeline. We ultimately make Venice good for people free of censorship,
MEV and front-running.
Crypto Library Team : What assurance does VaniceFinance have that Zero Knowledge will
provide privacy protection, cross-chain liquidity aggregation, and
state-of-the-art resilience? Zero Knowledge already purchased and
certified?
Alex (Venice) : Bulletproofs is a zero knowledge system that is a range proof per se. It is succinct, optimized for simple to mid-complex statements, and very importantly, needs no trust setup. Venice use Bulletproofs and related crypto commitments to construct Confidential Transactions (C/T), which is perfect for hiding amount and asset type. Turbo-Plonk is an improved version of Plonk, which is a sort of ZK Snarks with a universal setup, a step up from ZK SNARKS that needs trust setup for each transaction type. MPC stands for multiple party computation and is a cryptographic tool that allows multiple parties to make calculations using their combined data, without revealing their individual input. Invented by Chinese computer scientist Andrew Yao, MPC works by using complex encryption to distribute computation between multiple parties. Using tools built based on Bulletproofs, we can construct ZK assets that will provide confidentiality to the inputs to Venice's AMM. MPC can be used for secret sharing, key management and down the road of our product roadmap, design order book matching.
