out to to Valerie if possible just Val if you could just tell everybody what
you've been working on a little yes hello everybody Valerie aka V Dizzle I
started in the web 3 space back in 2021 through Gary V and be friends I was
gifted my first NFT from Gary V through a giveaway and had offers of over a
hundred and twenty thousand dollars and we didn't sell but here I am that decide
like I decided to take a deep dive into what was going on with the tech because
it just blew my mind what was happening and so here I am I'm in web 3 full-time
and now I'm part of the Ronin program I'm an ambassador for oni force and I'm
leading the oni world program so I'm sure we'll get a little bit into with
the oni world program in a little bit thank you and also we have NFTs here as
well another Ronin yeah art snitches the hand on the imp I drink and I know
things now I've been doing PR for like 12 years six of it in web 3 so I hop in
every now and then and just offer cheeky commentary but that's pretty much it
being very humble here very humble definitely NFTs is helping us a lot with
our PR and comms building out our messaging and stuff very excited about
that we also have David and Christine up here who are two of our advisors from IP
3 we're going to be going into a little bit about what they're working on soon
but just want to say hello hello thanks for being here acknowledge you're on
stage thank you and and obviously we have this lovely shrapnel logo here
on stage which we'll go into in a little bit as well so I don't want to spoil
anything quite yet very excited dub thanks for being here
shopping see has been great to work with by the way so all right let's keep
it moving basically what we want to do today is we want to talk a little bit
about our vision what we've been doing to build for towards that vision and
2023 and obviously what we're most excited about in 2024 basically our
vision has been to build a cross web cross chain anime storytelling platform
and our goal is to disrupt the traditional storytelling in comics in gaming in in
you know anime all that sort of stuff and establish a global IP universe
together with our community so you know whether it's through comic books
webtoons gaming anime physicals in 2024 we're going to be really pushing
oni force out there so that the rest of the world will know what oni force is
and everything we did in 2023 was to to build towards this moment I think
2023 was really a year of building we really focused on laying the foundation
for our vision and we're been preparing kind of a story-based journey with our
community for 2024 you know we've basically we started off by adding a
bunch of really top-level advisors who have worked on you know collectively have
built and launched IPs that have gross tens of billions of dollars across
mediums from comics to gaming and all that stuff people like Paul Jenkins you
know writer of Wolverine's origin story and video games like God of War and
things like that you know really amazing concept designers and creators to
help us with the visual element and you know since we have David and
Christine on stage I would love for you to talk David just briefly about what
you've been doing with us because we've been very quiet about I think the the
IP part of the development and David and Christine have been really
instrumental so David if you could just take a moment to share with our
audience a little bit about like the type of conversations and meetings we've
been having and and what you've been building for us that would be great
hey guys uh sure so you know for me it is uh it's all about bringing in the best
talent the best distribution partners the best
licensing partners for oni force uh that's been the objective since day one
you know I am uh I am first and foremost a third generation geek and uh you know
my love for all of this is uh uh runs deep and uh and to me this is all not a
business this is uh this is a lifestyle and um
right now uh we're in the process of uh talking to talent writers and
illustrators that could be used across multiple
mediums I mean nowadays you know there are there are so many
opportunities out there from like you said comic books to
webtoons to high-end collectibles to too many other project products to mention
now but some of this uh talent can be used in in multiple
categories which is great uh it reminds me of uh a friend of
our family amanda who um who she is the one responsible for
creating like harley quinn as we see her on the screen
she's a big dc illustrator and she's used to develop product for dc
and warner brothers too so she's used in multiple categories
and that's what we're looking for here and between the talent that we're
starting to talk to that is prominent here in north
america uh we're talking to talent that makes
sense and has an impact in other foreign important markets like europe
and asia and the middle east and the point is to pull together talent that
is appealing across the globe not just for
north american kids or not just for westerners but
stuff that could really penetrate the the globe and
and make only for us the the global franchise that it deserves to be
so uh you know there are again a bunch of
of of conversations that have started uh that are progressing
in about um let's see in about uh just i guess about two months from now uh we
have our first big comic con of the year which is wondercon out here in annaheim
which is the sister show to san diego comic con
and uh there'll be a lot of talent there'll be a lot of uh
publishers distributors all under the same roof at the same time
so you know the next couple months are going to be extremely exciting
and uh you know i can't wait to uh to share more when we have more to share
but uh but there's big news coming and this is a big priority
not only for my family and my my uh my company ip3 that i share with
christine and others but again this uh this deserves to uh
to be up on the mantle alongside the other great
franchises out there and uh and i couldn't be more uh
excited and uh and and appreciate being a part of this uh this wonderful family
oh dude we love you i appreciate that it's been such a pleasure and a blessing
to be working with david christine sarah the whole ip3
team because um you know i mean first of all when i'm
pretty famous for leaking stuff i'm not going to leak stuff today so
very important uh but you know when when he sent me
the list of artists and creators and stuff that
that he's going to be um bringing oni for us to
to pitch to i my eyes popped and i was like oh these are like
people i like so many people i grew up like too that that worked on amazing
amazing properties um and so i was just he was like which one
would you like to talk to i'm like all of them you know like it was just
really really a special list and um but more importantly they've been
incredibly consistent you know we meet every week
and and to keep developing keep pushing forward
and really opened up our eyes in terms of like thinking beyond the traditional
comic book market um thinking about and all the different
ways we could tell stories um across different mediums so
very very excited very grateful thanks for joining on a
saturday morning too i really appreciate you showing up i'm sure
our community appreciates it because um i think again we're really
quiet on what we've been building but um
the main message here for everyone in the community
that we need to know is that um starting now we are launching our
story in our world um and we are starting canon so we are
going to be releasing stories um our lore guide everything we're doing
now is is going to matter and we're building
we've built in and we're going to be revealing more opportunities
for community to participate to be part of this
um the launching of this ip um you know the analogy i like to use is
that if you know george lucas was launching the
star wars universe all over again it would be on chain and it'd be with the
community so um that's what we're doing and it's it's
very very exciting to for that to be happening finally
so expect a lot more to be coming there um also just very briefly i i want to
just uh touch upon the work that's been
done with our community because the community
development is actually a huge part of what we
of the foundation we've been laying um from our ronin
and our only world program um i know we want to keep it moving but if just
james and val if you could just briefly share with everyone
what is it that we've been working on that that would be amazing
yeah um and some of the results i think the results are important
yeah no i think you know the things that we're doing
that i don't think anyone else in the space is doing
is we're the we're working with the community directly to build out
um different avenues right so the ronin program is built
out to work with the leaders the holder our leaders
it's like holders that are leaders in business to try and connect us
and create you know partnerships and sponsorships and connections or even
like with zilla and val you know expertise to help the
company and the brand grow because they've got expertise
uh and you know it proved for the ronin to work extremely well with a short
amount of time for a fortnight where we close
a bunch of sponsorships that not just you know added value for
community members but it also added value for the brands that were
there with us uh and you know we closed you know
something close under twenty thousand dollars in sponsorships but also hundreds
of thousands of dollars in prizes that you know went out for fortnight as well
as for our point system that i know you'll talk about
um and there's just some truly highlights of what what the community
and the connections they have and then with oni world with val leading it
we've already secured 21 ish cities i think i have that correct
uh where we've got people ready to activate to
talk about you know oni force web 3 um events that are happening in those
markets we're already poised and ready to start
you know hosting things like there's a lot of talk within the community about
eth denver uh and and so we have a nice size community
event there surrounding that so we can be active and
then you know how it all ties in is it comes down to
we're building this anime web 3 fan base ecosystem for us to be able
to go to partnerships and um you know say that we can reach
lots of people very quickly to get the word out
and i know when we you know comic books drop we're going to be
poised and ready to you know raid every comic book store within a
radius of everyone's home to say pre-order the oni force
comic book that'll come out and you know it's going to be just really exciting
and i think it's got people excited it's got people
involved with us we've got more involved with the community
val i don't know if you want to add anything else about oni world that i
missed yeah yeah just to talk a little
deeper i i pinned up top if you want to fool like intro and thread
into what oni force is or oni sorry oni world what oni world is
but also you can see up top all the different leaders that we have
um so what oni world program is it's an international club network
within the web 3 space so we're connecting creators
founders operators and brands globally and so we're
operating as like a decentralized community but it's guided by oni force
and so we really want to empower members to organize local events
because we want to foster a sense of belonging and providing a
network for collaboration and resource sharing and
business connections worldwide and so the program
allows for the creation of autonomous clubs
based on individual interests with oni force providing
the rules the regulations and and support for members and so really our
vision is is to become this global program that
goes beyond online interactions by
facilitating these we're world connections through the events
and local clubs promoting the collaboration and community building
within the web 3 space and so really this was talked about since
last year um let me see this oni force announced this
back in may 9th 2023 um and then this first officially
launched um in seal south korea uh september 8th and so and now we
have our leaders that are all around the world um yeah
now i think we have something like 32 leaders in like 22 total regions which is
huge all with different capabilities and
skills and so they're all having meetups and so this is going to be
great for anyone who's even traveling and wants to meet new faces
wants to network and and even further speaking
is like for example if we ever get you know a partnership let's say with coca
cola and coca cola's like hey we want to you
know distribute these crates of coca cola to your community we can say well
we've got 28 32 leaders around the world representing 22 total
regions let's send them all a crate right and then these leaders can give
them to their members of their communities
to try and so hopefully you know we get to that point it's a work in progress
and we're building this together with our leaders
so i'm super excited to see what we do for
2024 and also we we have our first official holiday
oni world established uh oni friendsgiving uh oni friendsgiving day on
november 24th um and that's just the day where we come
together you know not everyone can meet in person because we're all over the
world but that's when we meet online and just uh give gratitude and the
friendships and networks that we're creating so
yeah and uh yeah that's the oni world program
i would say that was better than what i said
thank you so much yeah i think that's why she's leading that charge
um so very excited about these these uh you know innovations to kind of the
model community building and business models that we're creating
what's next for us here is that we're going to be launching
officially our franchise model finally this year
which will give a chance for our community um
to develop their ip's and their brands um using uh using their pfp's
we're going to be obviously um sharing more information on that shortly so stay
tuned there and special shout out to the the chinese community um for all the
work that they've done um you know they've done a lot of
building for us as well and that's a really important area for
us to to be developing in the future so expect a
lot more great things from them coming very soon
um and so yeah so basically just to kind of summarize again you know since
the acquisition we've been adding top top talent to develop the ip
you know now we're finally ready to present it to the world
uh we are going to be delivering and beginning this storytelling experience
establishing our very unique anime universe
for the world to play in and at the same time you know we're building an
open ecosystem for more ways to play in our world
whether it's uh gaming via our fortnite map
um all tied through the point system and so i do want to mention that you know our
we are integrating our point system into an omni platform
you know we've been pioneering a pfp enabled off chain point system
uh you know that has gone extremely well for us so far
um during our last campaign for the launch of our fortnite map with juju
smith schuster you know we added over 4 000
new users to the point system and have a wait list of over 5 000 people
um so that's been really incredible and i want to take a moment to to bring out
the trumpets and and announce finally that our
title sponsor for season season one is shrapnel
they are going to be providing over 300 000
dollars in prizes to our community in the point system
they've been incredibly great to work with they have an exciting game
if you could just take a moment to talk for us that would be that would be
great yeah dude more than happy to to support
you guys are honestly an inspiration for myself and like
how to enable our community to be awesome and to create things and to build
with the community first like it's really something special
like just listening to the last half an hour and catching up on oni world
all that stuff is truly impressive and having a partner like yourself
is super critical for us because as we enable creator tools and allowing
people to create things in our game we're definitely
going to need people like yourselves to create dope
awesome things for for experiences and for us to
take a stab at creating an awesome creator tool
and ecosystem in our game as well
thank you did you want to say something or we're gonna meet you sorry
cool yeah no it's been amazing working with you we're really excited about
the fact that you're our title sponsor for season one
um we'll be we'll be definitely getting out
more info on the prizes very shortly to everyone
um and i i think it's fair to say that everyone
in our community will get a chance to be part of the beta testing is that correct
oh 100 yeah definitely definitely need to
to open up those gates those are going to happen
really soon um and it was it's hilarious after
seeing what you guys did in fortnite and everything it
kind of i want to say it inspired us to to take a stab at fortnite a bigger way
and that's why we have shrapnel out now and then we also have orangy
making things like escape rooms and other stuff with shrapnel assets and
it's been it's been really cool to get inspired by working with you guys
i love that yeah we really see a combination of
our fortnite map our uefn plans and our point system as a launch pad for brands
and games uh itself so i think seeing you guys taking
that running with it is is um is amazing and we're definitely
supporting that um i do want to just take a quick moment
for zilla to talk a little bit about what um we're building with um our um
gaming uh platform is he on right now or is he drop off um
i'll do it for him but basically uh you know we have our premium map that we've
launched uh we've had heavy engagement with it
and a pretty big push on social media through that we grew our
gaming new gaming twitter over 8 000 people right off the bat
um so we will be building a top gaming brand
and a competitive league that um is surrounding
our maps and experiences that we're creating so you know really our goal is
to make like the the um like you know in in in terms of gaming
brands you know there's there's like hundred thieves there's
faze clan and and there's not too many others and we
want to see oni force be one of those top brands
and so um with the partners we have we're very very excited
and we're going to be using that to um expand our ip and capture new fans as
well as generate revenue which is very relevant to all our
communities that you know there's a great opportunity to generate
revenue that creates value that will go back to our community through our point
system so remember the point system is kind of
the center of everything that we do and um so expect to see a lot more
all right and i also want to take a moment real quick to shout out travel
swap who is another sponsor for a point system
they are a platform that allows you to book hotels using crypto and fiat
more importantly they are actually giving us our own
um page and oni force themed travel swap page
where um people will be able to book their hotels
at a discount and i believe they're giving us
uh like three or what are they giving us james
yes three 500 travel vouchers that'll go into our point system so that's
pretty exciting uh and you know not just can you use the
cryptocurrency and fiat i actually ended up booking my first
time with them uh just the other day for some travel
but uh they actually give you all we're gonna get all the holders are actually
really holders that come through our our
portal our our landing page that'll be up on our website probably monday
uh we actually get an extra five percent off and then there's discounts
above that uh and if you book you know oni force
gets a little spiff back so there's it's a big win for everybody
uh king i don't know if you want to say something really quick or if there's
anything you want to add to that but it's it's really cool um i've had the
pleasure of meeting the guys and using it and i'm a fan
amazing um king do you want to say something yeah do you want to say something
yeah it's pretty good that um you're saying all that man because on top of
that we're gonna start our enhanced rewards
program for q4 of this year and all partner communities you know that book
throughout the year are eligible for those rewards when they come out which
i mean i can't say what they are but i mean
given the space you know people could probably figure it out
yeah yep yep uh it's exciting this is not just a
a small partnership for our holders this is one of those partnerships that
brings value to anyone who's a holder so
yeah more to come on that wanted to say thank you and make sure that we we talked
about that and you guys everyone can look for that
um probably on monday sometime added to the link will be added to our website
and you can book hotels so it's awesome
love that very excited thank you for that partnership
um i think that's that's really cool because
you know obviously we all travel a lot in the space so it's great to finally
have a tool like that here um so okay now that we've done kind of
a brief summary of brief summary a summary of the things that we've been
working on and and how it's what we're going to be
building in the future how it's leading into the future
now is the time for our big announcement our official announcement
which um people have been seeing uh and we are now officially confirming
that oni force is launching our own very first ordinals pfp collection
let's go let's go now this new art new art yes
let's give some uh clapping hand emojis for this because
this is a very very significant event for us
to be honest we've been working on this for
almost i mean for over 10 months so we're we're going on almost a year that
we've been working on this now ordinals is is a very very important
area for us to develop in because um not just is is the fact that it's on
btc but the community is incredibly special
and it's a chance for us to grow our community um
with to add you know artists and innovators
back in march 23rd 2023 march 13th 2023 we actually inscribed our first
seven ordinals which is um very significant because those
seven ordinal characters are actually the main characters from the comic book
that we are going to be one of the comic book lines
that we're going to be launching in the future
and so you know when ordinals came along it was very obvious
the the value prop to us in terms of the value of having
your culture permanently inscribed on chain
you know so again as i said earlier if george lucas was launching star wars
again it would be on chain and i believe it would be on ordinals
because they are forever we see this as the thing that we
would submit to like museums and stuff like that
and really what it is it's a chance for us to launch our official canon
and introduce new characters so so this is a major milestone we are
going to be the first anime pfp project on both
ethereum and btc shout out to ordinots for being first
on btc as the anime pfp but we will be the first
on both chains so we are going to be the first
anime project establishing a universe multi-chain
and the collection itself is really well i could tell you that the art is is
beautiful and i do want to actually shout out
alex who is our official artist for this collection
this is also very significant for us because alex has been with the community
for a very long time as an artist i remember when i first
met him he had drawn a a commission piece for
gultra which is funny because that was even
before the the acquisition um and you know since then he's grown
and is just doing incredible work i wish i could share
with you but um i i can't i'm being very careful about
spoiling stuff uh today yes do not spoil that definitely
can't spoil the art too early but yeah special shout out to alex i don't see
him in the audience but um just an amazing artist and amazing
community member um you know again shout out to cn
community and we have pinned to the top our trailer for teasing revealing the um
the nameless characters by the way the og's will love this that we named the
seven characters the nameless and so there's a very very important and
specific part of their uh role in the canon which
nobody knows which will be revealing and we're just
starting that journey now telling that story
so um you know when you get a chance check out that trailer
make sure you share it i'm sure it'll be a mission you can earn points for
sharing um and again this is a very significant
event for us um we're going to be unveiling more of our universe um more of
the characters that our our heroes are going to be
interacting with and the nameless are basically leading us to revealing
the ordinals collection uh itself so i i don't want to um again spoil the the
story part or anything i want everybody to be able to experience it
um but this is a really really huge moment for us
can i can i just add really quick that the thing
that just gets me so excited beyond the obvious
of you know what you've already said about being on two chains
and uh the art being insane and and you've never seen art like this on
the ordinal chain of the coin chain yet um so that's really cool
but just as we roll out the stories behind everything and how they're all
connected and how um there is a reason that this collection
is being designed the way it's designed and has to do with how the overall story
comes together as everyone learns it it just gets me
super getting super excited because it's i mean that's what 10 months of
thought has been put into this is to to really link everything so
every time you collect you can actually you know you know where it fits in the
story and uh i don't know i just i just can't
stop saying that enough because it gets me more excited than
almost the art almost as much you know uh that's actually a really
interesting and important point to make because one thing that you guys are
going to finally see in 2024 and i think everybody's been incredibly
patient um up till now is that we've been
putting in real work to develop a comprehensive universe and
a lore that's going to give every single holder the opportunity to
build alongside us whether it's just submitting their pfp to be
used in ip or if they want to build their own
business using their pfp one thing that occurred to me really
really early on is um that because we are the og
storytelling pfp project like story is so important to everything we
do that um it requires a lot more development
than just like launching something and making it up as we go along
i think with the acquisition um it was a chance for us to reset and then sit
down and again bring on amazing talent like
david like paul like all the people we brought on to help us
um establish things the right way so that way
everybody is empowered to to help grow this brand
um and that it's cohesive that it makes sense because
uh you know a couple things i realized is that
number one i was staring at the collection and i thought like
every trait needs to have a meaning and a history
and a purpose and so that was literally the first thing we did with im
complex as we sat down with him and we went over
every single trait one by one asked him what was the meaning behind this why did
you draw this you know we started talking about how it
would fit into lore into story we took that over to paul and then he
turned it into um an amazing guide so um one thing i
can spoil is that the way the lore is going to the
lore guide is going to roll out for the community is that we're going to be
explaining the world itself and then we're going to be explaining the
characters and the traits and um news flash the traits all have
individual powers and perks and different abilities that people have
depending on the trait they have and even different utility in the future
so we're really looking forward to these traits um meaning something to
collectors um and to creators um so yeah that's that's very very
exciting and and since then we've just been running
with it so uh again like the ordinals launch is our
chance to really um establish who we are what we
really are in this space what makes us special what makes our brand different
um and also our purpose with the ordinals launch
is to bring together communities from multiple chains
into one community and at the end of the day um
having one of these pfps or being part of oni force in general
it is not just about like our brand as an anime brand
it's really about the values that we hold
you know i think that's a huge part of our mission
we want people to know that you know when you have an oni force as your pfp
or if you're even if it's not at your your your twitter profile but if
you're part of the community it what it really stands for is beyond
storytelling it's about community it's about
the real values of web 3 that we came in here for
about decentralization about um you know having control over over our
finances even like being being very kind of rebellious
in that way um and so uh with the ordinals collection that's a
chance for us to bring in new blood and to really um invigorate this
community and again add more innovators to it
but also in reverse i know that the ordinals community has really been looking
for an eth collection to step up and truly be
champions of ordinals and bridge that gap um so
that's really one of our huge missions is to bring more people into the ordinal
space to educate people and now we're gonna have a chance to
innovate you know the stuff we're gonna do
nobody has done on ordinals in terms of the way that we're gonna be doing
storytelling and building you know innovations and
storytelling on chain the things you could do with
inscriptions are are different than eth and it's really
exciting for us to give people um you know that multifaceted you know
cross chain cross web future so this is a huge step in that direction
um i'm gonna be careful because this is now usually
when i get into the realm of spoiling more stuff
uh so i'm going to just wrap up that and we could have a couple questions but i'm
gonna just wrap that up with with saying that um again i'm
very grateful for everyone here expect really big things in 2024
we are launching our official canon it's time for us to really show the world
what um are what we mean when we say you know
the storytelling platform of the future um so yeah with that if anybody i know
no ACLs is on stage did you want to say something
hey hey hey let's go oni force can you guys hear me
what's up brother much love much love honestly i don't have any questions i
will give you all your flowers here at oni force the community the leaders
everyone involved with the team you guys are so clear cut and like
decisive the way you know you give information to
the community so i'll be keeping my eyes open and you
know i'm sure to be uh you know up to date because you
guys are awesome but um i just wanted to share some
sentiments like you know you guys are doing a lot of really cool things i'm
excited about the ordinal stuff really cool to see um you know the
shrapnel collab there um you know shout out to dove much
love bro um i'm not even surprised with that one
man when you guys dropped the um the oni force onclov you know unreal
engine fortnite map and i saw the shrapnel billboard in
there i was like all right shrapnel's coming up next cue it up so
i can kind of see like you know the the the movement here and everybody in web
3 kind of like making their own connection within
fortnite and you know building this lore and and the
storyline across all of these different ip's and
and like you said you know the multi-chain aspect as well so i've
loved the whole you know um like path you guys have
chosen here as far as connecting with gamers and you
know creating a really interesting storyline i even thought the um you know
the og nft uh comic that that we got um for having an oni
that that was really good you know really intriguing it got me curious it
got me interested and wanting more i even shot you a dm
star lordy like i was begging you for the comics like when they come out like
put me on you know i want i want to see them
so i'll definitely be diving into that and you know kudos to shrapnel on the
shrapnel night map i had a lot of fun with that um you
know i put out some content highlighting both maps over the course of the journey
to this point and you know it's been a blast so much
love to everybody here at the oni force i came in like
late last year um you know through connecting with the community through
testing the map getting involved with events
uh big respect to zilla not only does he you know do all of these amazing
things in gaming and i didn't know he was um you know
actually such a beast gaming pro man like awesome i i know
some of those teams so so cool stuff man i've played with some of
your friends back in the day um but zilla might actually be a shadow
ninja like gaming talent you know scout you
never know man i don't know i think you might you might be
but yeah just you know love all around so everybody's doing great work and
yeah i'm here for the ride let's go let's go
who is it that dominated in fortnite was that whose kid was that
this is the first to be reported as one of the killers that that's for sure i
remember that name frank from d gods too put it
that was it from d gods it was yeah that was pretty funny uh that was a good
one see that's how games bring people
together you know i think it's really amazing
like i think the cool thing what we're seeing in 2024
especially for oni force is that all these threads will tie together
and it's going to make a lot of sense because especially it's tied to our
point system the point system is going to be evolving
to have a storytelling component to it so that's how we see it as becoming the
storytelling platform of the future so it won't matter whether it's a web
comic or a fortnite map or shrapnel's game or
whatever it is like it's all going to tie together
into um story and rewards for a community
and i'm getting blown up on the dms about the collection a little bit so
before we're at the hour so i'm gonna have to rug this
um before i leak too much but before i go
before we go i do again want to um i'll give a little bit of info on the
collection i will say the supply which is going to be three thousand three
hundred thirty three um we are going to be having allocation
obviously for our community our existing holders are our priority
um you know so we will be providing more information on how that's going to
roll out i can't say you do want to be part of
the point system because we are going to be using the point system
to rank our holders um in terms of how that affects the allocation for them
so if you have not signed up for the point system you
definitely want to sign up now um and also we are going to be releasing a
ton of missions and ways um for um all the way
leading up to the mint so that people can have the best chance to climb that
leaderboard um and so that is very very exciting
news um and the art is amazing like i
promise you if there's one thing that i'm going to hang my head on here
is i'm going to tell you that the art is incredible when when you guys see it
when we start revealing it um i'm sure you're going to love it
it's definitely an evolution moving forward
i'm complex has been art directing and helping to lead
creative all along the way so just know that
that he's been a huge part of this as well and and has his
blessing and all that stuff um and the art itself is going to give people a
whole new opportunity to to represent engage the the the brand
and represent the brand in a way nobody's seen before
um so yeah that's pretty much it look at that
one hour on the dot pretty much that is incredible that's
we we are making progress here people world record
so yeah um with that again we're gonna be it's gonna be a lot of info coming out
every day um on all the different things we're working on
