## Q1. What are the main features and advantages of DePIN DID? What are the standout features or innovations that distinguish the product from your competitors?
Star Protocol is specifically enhanced for DePIN and AI integration. This focus ensures that every object, not just individuals, can have a decentralized identity, opening up new technical and business paradigms.

The integration with physical devices further enables advanced features such as AI mining and network mining. We will develop and provide easy-to-use mobile dApps for users to mine social tokens of different projects on their mobile devices and to invite millions of web2 users to the <a href="/web3" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">web3</a> space.

We will also release a product of Metamask Snap early next year. We plan to generate 10 million DIDs by the end of 2026.

## Q2. How do you increase user acceptance and engagement？How can users earn rewards through social mining?
At Star Protocol, we revolve around creating a seamless and rewarding experience for our community. We achieve this by focusing on user-friendly interfaces, clear communication, and continuous community benefits. We also emphasize community-driven product development, allowing users to actively participate in decision-making processes.

Users can earn rewards through our innovative social mining program. This program incentivizes community participation by rewarding users for engaging with the platform, such as creating content, inviting friends, sharing insights, and promoting projects across social media. By contributing to the growth of the protocol, users accumulate points that can be exchanged for future tokens or other benefits within our ecosystem.

## Q3. What marketing strategies have you adopted to promote your Web3 services? How effective have these strategies been?
We've employed a comprehensive approach to market our Web3 services. Our strategy centers on building a strong, engaged community through social media, AMAs, and events. We also leverage strategic partnerships, like our collaboration with LayerZero, AWS, Consensys and other ecosystem projects of various blockchains that we deployed our service on, to enhance our credibility and expand our reach.

These strategies have been highly effective, driving significant growth in our community and user engagement. Our partnerships have boosted trust and visibility. While content marketing has cultivated a more informed user base, our social media now has around 600 thousand followers.

## Q4. What were the primary challenges faced during the development and operation of your platform, and how were they addressed?
The significant challenge was our transition to becoming truly omni-chain. When we started building our products, LayerZero was also in its early stages. We were among the first to adopt this technology, which meant there were few references or examples to learn from. Despite uncertainty, we embraced the challenge, and our early adoption of LayerZero has positioned us as a leader in the omni-chain identity space.

Looking ahead, next year promises to be incredibly exciting. We are gearing up to launch the next iteration of our services, including enhanced DePIN DID functionalities tailored for AI and smart devices. Apart from helping other teams & projects to release DID products, we also plan to release several Metamask Snaps, which will empower more users like never before, offering them and their devices DID services to engage with and benefit from our ecosystem.
