Abstract's Future: Streaming, Branding, and Long-Term Growth Key to Success

The possibility exists for Abstract's streaming platform to surpass major competitors over time, given enough development duration. This approach has been successfully employed before, with Michael Lee observing how previous ventures attracted several Fortune 500 companies, eventually leading to widespread adoption. Securing major partnerships could allow Abstract to expand significantly, integrating these companies into its ecosystem. User engagement hinges on a main app that is easy to access, inviting, and compelling, fostering retention through strict user onboarding processes. Abstract aims to create an environment akin to Disneyland—focused on fun rather than technical novelty—making it appealing as a casual entertainment option rather than a hardcore gaming platform like Call of Duty. The current focus is not on competing with other streaming services but on promoting brand and application marketing, exemplified by successful campaigns like Rekt, where streamers boosted product sales. This ecosystem also supports educational streams and application demonstrations, reinforcing user retention. Regarding tokenomics and TGE (Token Generation Event), the team emphasizes a strategic approach: TGE should serve as an accelerator, akin to a traditional IPO, expanding the user base rather than depleting liquidity. Timing of TGE will depend on market conditions and active platform use, particularly when crypto startups and major brands join. The XP system is designed for long-term sustainability, and Abstract functions as a broad advertising platform in crypto, with future plans for reputation-building badges and targeted advertising. The broader vision is to become a comprehensive App Store for crypto, not just a Layer 2 solution. A key indicator for bullish sentiment is when major brands naturally want to integrate Abstract into their branding, exemplified by Red Bull. Collaborations with global brands are ongoing, with further partnerships anticipated as the platform matures.
