Host: Brian (PAW Chain) Topic: Brand Rebranding Progress, Layer One Development, and Community Dynamics

Persian 🇮🇷 — Chinese 🇨🇳

Brian: Good evening, good morning, good afternoon to all friends from around the world. Thank you very much for taking the time to join this live broadcast.
This Q&A session will be relatively short, but the content will be very rich. We will introduce the current progress, behind-the-scenes insights, completed work, and the upcoming plans.
Before discussing community issues, I would like to summarize our current situation.
We are currently still in the maintenance period, and it is expected to last for some time, as we need to complete the backend optimization work that has been in development for the past few months.
Part of this work is directly related to brand repositioning and first-layer development, both of which are being carried out in parallel.
This means that, while we are improving the core performance and scalability of the backend, the design and branding updates of the frontend are also gradually taking shape—such as visual effects, branding, UI/UX consistency, and the overall user experience of the ecosystem.
The team's current focus is on stability testing. We have been conducting extensive stress tests on the API, wallet connections, and trading systems to ensure that the network can handle high-load situations seamlessly once it is back online.
The progress in brand revitalization is going smoothly. Most of the internal design materials and user interface components have been completed. The new dashboard and wallet layout are undergoing final review before integration.
As always, we will not wait until the product is 100% ready to launch—quality over speed has always been our standard.
Now, let's talk about the audit. The audit process is still proceeding as planned. The vendor we are collaborating with focuses on network layer security, which is also one of the main reasons we chose them.
This is not just a simple smart contract audit—it goes much deeper. It covers consensus logic, validator communication, bridging layers, and other critical systems.
This is a comprehensive security audit that goes far beyond surface testing. From node behavior to transaction validation, every aspect is examined based on various threat models and extreme situations.
At the same time, we have been actively negotiating partnerships and expanding our business. Several dialogues are currently underway—some focusing on technical aspects, while others emphasize commercial aspects.
There is currently nothing that can be disclosed publicly, but I can confirm that everything is moving in a positive direction.

Question: What is the current status of the first layer construction?
Brian: The development progress of Layer 1 is going very smoothly. The architecture is designed around horizontal scalability, which means we can run multiple chains in parallel.
This provides us with greater throughput capability and flexibility for future expansion - which is crucial for enterprise adoption and cross-chain integration.
We have tested the validator coordination, transaction speed, and data integrity under various stress scenarios. So far, the results have been outstanding and stable.
The most important thing is to ensure that everything can scale efficiently without compromising security and decentralization.

Q: How does the Layer 1 system differ from other networks?
Brian: Most blockchains today are built vertically - this means they can only be scaled by increasing the computational power or capacity of a single chain.
We adopt a horizontal scaling approach, allowing multiple parallel environments to coexist simultaneously. This enables us to scale infinitely without bottlenecks.
This also opens the door for enterprise-level integration, dApp ecosystems, and cross-chain capabilities, which many existing systems are unable to support effectively.

Q: Can you introduce the progress of the brand renovation?
Brian: Yes, of course. The brand redesign is progressing very smoothly. The visual identity, user interface, and brand elements are all close to completion.
We are committed to creating consistency—from the wallet interface to the dashboard, documentation, and public website, striving to make every part of the ecosystem present a unified and professional feel.
This brand transformation is not just a superficial change, but rather aims to demonstrate that PAW Chain has evolved from a community blockchain into a mature infrastructure network, designed for long-term sustainable development.

Q: Will this brand overhaul include updates to the team page and member visibility?
Brian: Yes. After the rebranding goes live, the new website will include verified profiles of our core team members.
Some people's personal information, including mine, has been exposed, and once all contracts and disclosure agreements are finalized, the information of others will also be exposed.
In the previous review process, many of our developers and potential clients have completed KYC certification through CertiK. Transparency is essential for us, and we will continue to uphold this practice.

Q: What is the team's current focus during this maintenance period?
Brian: Currently, the team is working on the final backend improvements - such as synchronization between system APIs, validators, and dashboard performance, etc.
Before the network restart, we are ensuring that all components of the ecosystem can work perfectly together.
Although we call it the "maintenance phase", it is actually a development and optimization phase. We are performing performance upgrades, cleaning up processes, and ensuring that once the first layer is back up and running, it can immediately support scaling.
This step is crucial. It enables us to transform from a powerful blockchain into a sustainable Layer 1 infrastructure provider.

Q: How is the team conducting marketing at this stage?
Brian: The behind-the-scenes marketing work has begun. We have been preparing marketing activities in sync with the brand overhaul and the upcoming Layer 1 product line.
I want to emphasize one point here - we do not treat marketing as hype. We do not seek short-term attention; we focus on long-term positioning.
Our marketing strategy emphasizes the technology, ecosystem, and vision behind PAW Chain, rather than empty promotion.
We have been working hand in hand with multiple partners to ensure that various promotional activities can be executed professionally and efficiently, while seizing the best opportunities. Therefore, when these promotional activities are officially launched, they will perfectly align with the launch of the new brand and system.

Q: Will there be new partnerships or collaborations after the brand relaunch?
Brian: Yes, of course. We are currently engaged in multiple collaboration discussions—some focus on validator scaling, some on enterprise integration, and others on ecosystem development.
These partnerships are not just announcements made for the sake of increasing visibility, but rather meaningful collaborations aimed at strengthening the foundation of PAW Chain and expanding its application scenarios.
The first layer of infrastructure has opened up new opportunities for integration, making these conversations crucial for the next phase of growth.
Some projects and organizations have also proactively reached out to us, recognizing the scalability advantages of our architecture. Therefore, we are cautiously collaborating with partners who share a common long-term vision with us.

Question: Could you please provide a detailed introduction to the audit process and the scope of the audit?
Brian: Of course. The audit we are conducting is very comprehensive - far beyond the standard scope of smart contract checks.
It covers the core consensus layer, bridging logic, validator communication, and node integrity. Every aspect of the system is stress-tested under simulated edge conditions to ensure its robustness and security.
We are still conducting anti-quantum attack simulations—essentially testing how the system will respond to the encryption challenges that may arise from future quantum computing.
Security is not a one-time effort, but a continuous process of assessment, improvement, and revalidation.
Our auditing partners focus on network-level cryptography and distributed architecture, which gives us confidence in the entire process.

Q: How will communication continue during this period?
Brian: We will continue to have updates and Q&A sessions like this every two weeks.
Transparency and communication are key to maintaining trust. Even when development work is quietly taking place behind the scenes, we will always ensure that the community is kept up to date.
As we advance into the maintenance phase, you will also begin to see visual effects - a new user interface/user experience, brand assets, and a preview of progress.
We regard this period as a transition phase rather than a downtime. This time aims to refine processes, strengthen communication, and prepare for the restart.

Question: What information would you like to share with the community?
Brian: First of all, thank you very much - really thank you. Your patience, support, and participation are crucial to this project.
We have always emphasized that PAW Chain is not just a blockchain; it is a movement built on transparency, trust, and technological foundations.
Currently, we are laying the foundation for long-term development. These stages may not always be the most exciting, but they are the cornerstones of building a solid foundation.
After the brand revitalization and the launch of Layer 1, you will see how everything is interconnected — the ecosystem, design, infrastructure, and the direction we have been working towards for more than two years.
We are not just launching new features – we are laying the groundwork for global scalability.

Q: Can you share what everyone can expect after the brand rebranding release?
Brian: When the network goes online again, there will be a completely redesigned dashboard and wallet, as well as enhanced analytics features, multi-wallet management, and on-chain data tracking.
We are still improving the integration of fiat deposit and withdrawal channels, which will allow users to join the ecosystem more smoothly.
All functions will be integrated into a unified system. This brand redesign is not just a new packaging - it is a gateway to the next generation PAW ecosystem.

Q: Is there anything else to add before the Q&A session concludes today?
Brian: I just want to say that we are making progress every day. The team's goals are clear, positive, and we are all working toward the same objective—building a strong, scalable, and secure blockchain network.
The work we are doing now will determine our future. We are not chasing trends; we are creating something that can last for decades.
Dear friends in the community, please stay tuned! We will be releasing updates, previews, and new versions one after another. Thank you all for your support along the way!
