FindTruman is creating a decentralized co-creation Web3 platform, aiming to disrupt the traditional gaming industry, ensuring creators receive what they deserve and incentivizing them to build better games for players. With their native Artificial Intelligence in Generated Content (AIGC) platform, players can be creators, spurring innovation on the platform.
Following FindTruman being crowned World Champion of the 2022 Wanxiang Fall Hackathon, they were onboarded into TZ APAC’s Egg Web3 Incubator program. They have also placed third in both the Asia Blockchain Gaming Alliance & Klaytn Blockchain Gaming Hackathon 2022, and the “Buidl It” Polygon Global Hackathon 2022.
FindTruman’s AI allows users to use machines to create content like images, videos, 3D media, and even music. This is done through human input like descriptions, prompts, or parameters.
For example, users can type in “Create a painting of a boy holding a balloon, in the style of Pablo Picasso”. An image matching the description will be generated.
Copyright issues
This begs the question, however, of who does the copyright to that image belong to? Would it belong to the user who generated the image, or Picasso whose style was studied and reproduced by the AI?
FindTruman solves the copyright issues with blockchain. Users (“style definers”) can upload their own original content, which allows the AI to learn from their style. For the example above, the style definer would be Picasso.
Subsequent users can choose from their preferred style models when generating content, and even combine existing styles to make new ones - which leads to ever-evolving innovation in content creation.
The blockchain records all copyrights involved, for the style definer and the AIGC creator. When the content is traded or the copyright is sold, both these parties receive their fair portion of the copyright profits.
Building communities around Ai
FindTruman’s algorithm marks users with implicit tags whenever they perform actions like creating, purchasing, and commenting. The algorithm then creates vertical communities of like-minded individuals around these tags. When everyone in this community has the ability to create content, this forms a peer-to-peer value creation system with high levels of innovation.
Breaking down barriers - “Dream to Earn”
FindTruman makes it easy for everyone to freely create content. Beyond this, FindTruman also provides a platform that allows users to easily monetize their content. The AIGC can be used in FindTruman’s story-based gameplay platform (of which FindTruman already has over 30 million users), various blockchain games, and even the metaverse.
FindTruman’s team is well-established both in Web3 technologies and AI. Having entered the blockchain space in 2013, they’ve made an undeniable impact.
It was great having the @FindTruman team of @bingxue_zhang and @Miura7728 over 🙌

Pentas is an inclusive NFT ecosystem and marketplace that seeks to empower content creators of heritage, cultural and traditional values through the digital preservation of assets. With a strong focus on community, education, a focus on blockchain mass adoption, and promoting Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS), Pentas offers a full suite that makes it popular amongst creators.
Pentas has been established for a year as the first ASEAN-focused NFT marketplace. With strong focus on its roots and communities, spotlights on local creators from the region, and an organic community-first approach, Pentas brings a strong local flavor into the Tezos ecosystem.
NFT Marketplace
Pentas’ marketplace has already seen US $2.5 million in transaction volume over the past 12 months. It supports digital art, collectibles, tickets/access passes/tickets, music tracks, and digital merchandise.
The User Interface is clean and intuitive, and allows users to view statistics like top artists and collectors, as well as recent trading activity.
The “Recent feeds” feature allows users to scroll and view works that the community enjoys. Reminiscent of Instagram, Pentas has cleverly adopted the proven-to-work “scrolling” model, giving users a seamless experience in art enjoyment. Upon using this, it’s immediately apparent how this fosters a genuine appreciation for art amongst the Pentas community.
Community Building
Pentas has amassed quite the community, with 24.9K Twitter followers and 6.2K Discord members. Involved community members have a direct line to the team, ensuring a two-way communication channel that allows for improvement based on constructive feedback.
Pentas provides resources and support for its members, including education and organizing physical and virtual meetups. Community-led events have included workshops, webinars, minting parties, and meetups.
Education
Pentas Skool is one of their approaches to onboarding Web2 users and spearheading Web3 adoption. Recently, they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Universiti Teknologi Mara.
Enterprise Outreach
Pentas offers enterprise solutions, providing real life use cases of NFT technology.
Recently, they were named the official NFT platform for the 32nd Malaysian Film Festival, in partnership with National Film Development Corporation Malaysia. Through Pentas, key stakeholders (producers, directors) will be exposed to how Web3 can transform the film industry.
Pentas has also partnered with Selangor Football Club, to launch the Red Giants Non-Fungible Collection. On top of providing curated experiences for collectors, Pentas also deploys NFT tickets to football matches - resolving the main pain point of the football industry, counterfeit tickets.
Pentas’ team has a multi-discipline background, ranging from blockchain development, cyber-security, and social media content creation.
Mo tells us what he loves about the team:
“Everyone has different skill sets and a role to play. Much like a football team, you need every player to fill their respective positions well. That’s the Pentas team in a nutshell!”
Naan is more than a wallet - it connects users to the broader Web3 ecosystem, allowing them to buy NFTs with credit cards, offering staking and curated DeFi, and a native widget store for dApps.
Naan’s beta version has already been downloaded on iOS and Android over 6800 times, and has seen over 7700 wallets created, with over 1000 Monthly Active Users. Naan has also successfully processed $45,000 worth of tez purchases with fiat money. With their new launch, Naan foresees a minimum five-fold growth in 6 months.
Seamless mobile experience
While NFTs have exploded in popularity recently, the experience of collecting them on mobile is far from perfect. Despite Tezos’ quarter-over-quarter growth in terms of NFT collectors, the majority of collectors still miss out on major drops because they are not on mobile according to Naan’s research. Naan solves with their incredibly smooth mobile User Experience.
Easy exploration of the Tezos ecosystem
Naan allows users to browse different projects and dApps, discovering their user persona along the way. Their native widget store features different dApps, from NFT marketplaces to DeFi platforms and games.
Naan also has a TikTok-style feed, which will display artworks sourced from the best curators. Users can follow other collectors, and receive notifications.
Easy onboarding of Web2 users
By providing a simple login solution that allows users to login through connecting their social accounts, Naan is able to double wallet creation rates.
Bernd and Om have a wealth of experience in building complex products with the best User Experiences in the Web3 space. They have built:
Plenty.Network - one of the most successful DeFi projects in the Tezos ecosystem with over $700M in transaction volume, and the only Tezos bridge to Polygon and Ethereum.
Ctez.app - a novel solution for tez staking in DeFi which enjoys strong usage from members of the Tezos ecosystem.
Bernd Oostrum has a background in Software Engineering, Product Design and Management and has been in Web3 since 2015. Once he saw the potential of Web3, he left his job to start Tezsure, the team behind Naan. Having seen DAOs being hacked and being an original contributor to Ethereum’s ICO, Tezos came naturally to Bernd. He has also built blockchain solutions for the Dutch Government. Now, Bernd is working on mainstream adoption and discovery solutions with Naan.
Om Malviya holds a Bachelor’s degree in IT from Delhi College of Engineering. Since his early days as a student, Om has been passionate about building complex products. Om is a holistic builder, understanding the importance of marketing and user acquisition strategy. In 2016, Om co-founded ItsBlockchain.com, India’s first and largest crypto media publication. Subsequently, Om started Tezsure with Bernd.
In early 2020, Om and Bernd started Tezos India, which has now grown to be one of the leading blockchain adoption firms in India, which have some of the best developers, startups and integrations adding value to the Tezos Ecosystem.
