In this solo YouTube deep‑dive, Crypto Mason (Mason Versluis) presents a bullish case for the XCAD Network, a fan‑token and NFT platform that enables top content creators (YouTubers, Instagram, Twitter influencers) to launch their own tokens and monetize fan engagement. He highlights high‑profile backers—MrBeast, KSI, Zilliqa, and Jump Trading—explaining how their endorsements lend credibility and marketing power. Mason explains XCAD’s ecosystem: a decentralized exchange (DEX), a Chrome watch‑to‑earn plugin, an influencer market‑cap ranking, and a Creator Liquidity Offering (CLO) launchpad, all of which require XCAD token usage, creating demand. He compares XCAD to Chiliz (sports fan tokens) and Friend.Tech (SocialFi), noting XCAD’s broader creator base and more favorable fee/locking structure. Upcoming catalysts include the imminent V2 SocialFi app launch (Q4 2023), a planned Layer‑2 blockchain, and expanded creator dApps. Mason argues that these factors, combined with a massive cumulative audience of ~750 million followers, position XCAD for a potential 40‑fold upside in the next crypto bull market. The video ends with standard disclaimer, calls to action, and a partnership note with XCAD.

What is up? I am Crypto Mason and welcome back to the Crypto Mason YouTube channel. Shout out to the Gold Squad. We look for gold in every single aspect of our lives and we always find it. Now today, folks, we are back with a dedicated project review video. This is a project I am personally bullish on for the next bull run that, you know, might be coming pretty soon here in the crypto space. So we're gonna do a deep dive into this project. Talk about why it is my— one of my picks for the next bull market. This video is in partnership with xCAD Network. Drop a like, comment, subscribe, turn on the post notification bell, and let's get into the video. So right off the bat, you might be looking at the title of this video and kind of doubting it, but this is real. This is real. MrBeast and KSI are both invested into the XCAD Network project. As you can see down here, they go over a little bit about how MrBeast and KSI got involved. KSI has also tweeted about XCAD with the direct ticker symbol that is for the XCAD token right here, which is up 10% in one day right now. But he tweeted, XCAD to the moon, baby, on his Twitter. Now these are announcements from 2021, uh, but these are very powerful announcements, and KSI and MrBeast are backing this project. So what actually is XCAD? XCAD is a fan token and NFT platform for some of the biggest content creators in the entire world. Okay, they have a huge, huge audience, uh, at their disposal. Right down here you can see of the creators scrolling by right here, uh, who have been involved with XCAD. Its cumulative 750 million followers, um, have been— or that is their reach through XCAD. And the potential there, if those, those people all start promoting, uh, fan tokens, uh, and maybe even a dApp or something that, that could, that could explode, right? $700 million is a huge, huge reach, and this will help bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3. Now, just to go back on some of their, some other backers that they have, they have Zilliqa, which is a project that we've talked about a lot on this channel in the past. Uh, Zilliqa is backing them as well as they received major strategic received funding and a major strategic partnership with Jump Trading. So some very strong backers right there. And this project, XCAD, is kind of like Chiliz. So when you look at Chiliz, they actually release fan tokens for soccer clubs like FC Barcelona, PSG. So XCAD is similar to Chiliz, but instead of football clubs, it's for YouTubers. So it makes a lot of sense. Uh, these YouTubers have so such huge followings, but there is also one key difference between Chiliz and XCAD. XCAD gets consistent promotion from the YouTubers that are building with their platform and launching fan tokens. If those YouTubers continuously promote their fan tokens, XCAD continuously gets to grow bigger. From that, right? Uh, and that can increase demand for the token, and the token price could go up. So heading into the next bull run, if they activate some of these creators and start to get more creators on the platform, especially with their SocialFi app, uh, their SocialFi platform that they are releasing very soon— it's kind of like Friend.Tech. Uh, we saw Friend.Tech absolutely explode. Um, and you know, if they create something like that with the current audience they have, it could do extremely well. By the way, nothing in this is financial advice. Please just do your own research. I'm not telling you— I'm no— I'm not giving any financial advice, folks. So this, this project in itself allows creators to be more close to the fans, and the fans can really represent how much they like the creators while watching them grow and while helping them grow. So they also have, uh, their fan— the fan tokens can be redeemed for perks, uh, which is very cool. So kind of, um, you could basically, as a creator, you could release your, your fan token, and then right here you can see, uh, this, this guy Virus, uh, or by Virus, he's allowing people to play a private gaming session for 30 minutes with him. And the only way you can actually buy any of the creator's perks is to buy it with their— the creator's native token. And to get the creator's native token, you have to swap, uh, with XCAD. So that's going to drive a lot of demand for XCAD because it has to be the first asset you buy before you can actually buy any of the creator tokens. So when XCAD releases their SocialFi app, we've seen like tons of these things, right? There's so many spinoffs of Friend.Tech and all of that. But the difference is XCAD actually has the backing of this whole ecosystem behind it. They have many different products that they've already created. The XCAD ecosystem currently consists of all of the products here. They have the XCAD DEX, they have the influencer market cap section, which is similar to CoinMarketCap but for influencers. So you can imagine like finding the, the top, like who is the Bitcoin of creators, you know, who is the, who has the highest market cap on their token, the, the DEX they can trade and swap back and forth. They have obviously the xCAD plugin. We've made a lot of videos about the xCAD Chrome plugin, uh, where you can get paid to watch, uh, your favorite YouTubers through watch-to-earn. And they also have the CLO Launchpad, which is the Creator Liquidity Offerings Launchpad. And, you know, they've done quite a few right here, completed CLOs. Um, and basically you can launch your own. That's how you launch your own token. So they do have a built-in launchpad, uh, as well. And, and these CLOs require people to buy XCAD, um, to actually participate in them. So there's a lot of the XCAD supply that is locked up from certain products, which in turn can drive demand. So the difference between XCAD and other projects is XCAD during this bear market has been building many, many things and expanding their ecosystem. So let's talk about upcoming catalysts on why, uh, the XCAD token could do well, um, in the coming bull run. So they're planning to launch their V2 ecosystem, uh, and right here they do a direct comparison to Frentech. Okay, so they've got the name, users, uh, it's launching in Q4 of, uh, 2023, so it's coming very soon. I will have another video, uh, detailing the whole platform. Um, now here's a key difference, uh, Frentech mainly has Web3 influencers who are offering keys, um, whereas XCAD is going to have those Web2 YouTubers plus the Web3 people. XCAD is going to allow you to connect your YouTube, Instagram, and your Twitter, not just your Twitter like Friend.Tech. XCAD is going to be built on BNB and not Coinbase's layer 1. The native token for Friend.Tech is ETH. Don't— they don't even have a token. And then XCAD, their native token is the XCAD token, of course, which is currently sitting up 10% in one day, uh, as of right now. So next up, the— oh, the daily volume, they can't, uh, do a reading on the daily volume yet because the platform isn't out. And the fee breakdown, so Friend.Tech gives 5% to the creator and 5% to the treasury. xCAD gives 5% to the creator, 2.5% to xCAD Lock, and then 2.5% to the treasury. So less to the treasury and more to the locking. So they're locking up tokens so that they cannot be sold. So that's extremely bullish. So obviously they're going to have some huge creators that they bring on to the XCAD social platform and that promote the XCAD social platform. And they even have some way, way bigger plans down the, down the line too. They're going to launch their own Layer 2 blockchain next year. And every creator will be its own dApp. So think about how expansive that really is when each creator kind of has their own ecosystem that's built on top of XCAD. Each creator that launches their own token will have a creator liquidity offering, which is like a normal launchpad like DAO Maker. And you can actually see DAO Maker is commenting under their post right there. DAO Maker is a big player in the crypto space as well. Overall, they want the XCAD token to be as deflationary as possible, um, and they want the project to succeed. Overall, they have solid, solid backing, a solid ecosystem. There's a solid following of people who enjoy creators, and then also a solid following of creators actually on the platform. And with the V2 launch happening going into a potential bull market here, and the SocialFi trend picking up. It just seems like a perfect storm for XCAD to take over the SocialFi game. Um, and they're, they're bigger than even just SocialFi. They're, they're a very expansive ecosystem. They're, uh, pioneering the watch-to-earn movement as well. And as we saw, they have tons of different products already in their ecosystem. So that is all we've got for today's video. Make sure you drop a like and comment on the video. I love every single one of you. Join the Gold Squad Discord, and goodbye.
