Henry Onyebuchi (CPO at LEAD Wallet) was invited to attend an AMA in Crypto Media Telegram group on 25 Apr 2020. He has answered many question raised by the community and addressed the recent progress.
Hello fellow crypto and blockchain Heads , it’s a great privilege to be here in your great community conducting this AMA for Lead wallet. I am Henry Onyebuchi, the CPO of Lead wallet and I will be representing our CEO Obasi who is unavoidably absent at this time due to some impromptu delicate matters.
Following is the recap of this AMA.
Q1: Can you introduce yourself to our community? and how did you build Lead Wallet?
Henry Onyebuchi: I have been in the Blockchain space for about 4 years, working in different capacities as a marketing personnel, a technical support manager, and a smart contract developer. Some of the firms I worked for include cryptocoin.news, Amazix.com, and XYO.network.
The idea of Lead wallet started sometime in August 2019 when some of the core team members had a critical survey of the blockchain and crypto space and we found that one of the major barriers that hinder mass adoption is the fact that newbies get overwhelmed even when encounter cryptocurrency wallets which is the second point of contact in the industry.
So as a means to solve that in order to make life a whole lot easier for everyone joining the space, as well as already existing users who encounter difficulties utilizing wallets, we decided to build a solution that doesn’t only make assets management very easy, but one that also has a beautiful user interface and optimum security.
Q2: Can you explain what is Lead Wallet? And what are their special products?
Henry Onyebuchi: Lead Wallet is the simplest decentralized multi-cryptocurrency wallet that has multiple features for cryptocurrency and blockchain enthusiasts of different levels ranging from beginners to experts. It supports crypto assets’ holding, spending, and receiving of cryptocurrencies.
The Lead wallet application also supports innovative features such as crypto marketplace, multi-sender feature, cryptocurrency staking, multi-sig feature, crypto-to-crypto, and crypto-to-fiat swaps/exchange features in order to improve the crypto use-cases and further engender mass cryptocurrency and blockchain adoption globally.
3 Question From Twitter
Q1 : What kind of real-life application or adoption will sharding to improve & help bring the masses to LEAD in general?
Henry Onyebuchi: The Lead wallet app will have a C-marketplace to enable users to spend their cryptocurrency assets how they like without having to first convert to fiat. Some of these services include utility bills payment, hotel bookings, and other p2p payments which we will keep adding the wallet features.
This will go a long way in bringing the masses to Lead because one of the major pain points in the crypto space is the problem of not being able to spend crypto assets in a flexible way.
Users practically have to jump from wallet to wallet and from exchange to exchange in order to make conversions of their assets to be able to spend them. Lead wallet solves this problem
Q2 : Supplying main products is electronic wallet, security is a top priority. If in the case of cold wallets and Lead Wallet wallets are accidentally hacked, what is the solution of Lead Wallet to customers?
Henry Onyebuchi: Lead wallet is a non-custodial wallet. This means that our users are 100% in custody of their assets as we do not have access to their private keys.
However, to protect our users from hacks or any form of a security breach, the wallet has a 2FA integrated into it to give users an extra layer of security when they log into their account from their mobile device.
We also have a constant(non-spammy) reminder for users who haven’t yet verified that they have their wallet seed phrases stored. This is to ensure that they do not totally lose access to their funds assuming they lose their devices
Q3 : Staking right on the wallet is very convenient for users.However, it is also because of the convenience that users can un-stake. So LEAD has a way to prevent users from “stake” in bulk.Because this can directly affect the Nodes that LEAD is running for the project?
Henry Onyebuchi: As a means to encourage users from staking and leaving their funds in the pool for as long as required. We have come up with a reward system that incentivizes stakers from the profits made by Lead.
For the first year, stakers can earn up to 35% annualized staking rewards, and subsequently. The rewards will be adjusted based on our ecosystem reward handling and issuing capabilities.
