Full Transcription
Thank you. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you're at in this crypto world.
My name is Cody and I will be your host on the 10-minute pitch.
The 10-minute pitch, if you haven't experienced it before, is a classic take on the old speed dating format,
where you basically become the shark, and projects get an uninterrupted 10 minutes to shill their project to you. No KOL influence, just an unbiased,
here straight from the horse's mouth kind of information about a project. As always,
make sure that you always do your own research before investing in any crypto project. And
for projects pitching today doesn't mean necessarily that they are endorsed
or encouraged by L1X. It is for entertainment and educational purposes only. So give me one sec.
We've got a few stragglers coming up on stage before we kick this off. But before we do,
if you haven't done so,
please give this space to share so that we can get it out
and beat the algorithms of Twitter.
Give me just one more second and we will get this thing kicked off. All right.
So I think we got mass majority of people up on stage here.
Before we kick it off, just a little bit of house rules.
You do get 10 minutes uninterrupted to shill your project.
You can yield your time back if you don't want to use the full 10 minutes.
Likewise, please refrain from any price speculation, price manipulation, anything that can't be backed,
any grandiose kind of claims that cannot be backed by data or specific facts,
just anything that would manipulate the market, just please focus on your project, your technology,
the innovation, and the solutions that you are providing with your projects that you will be
pitching today. So with that being said, how it basically
works is I will call up on the person. We will give you your 10-minute counter. And then from
there, once your 10 minutes is up, so are you. So I will give you between a 90-second and a two-minute
warning as well if you're coming close to it so that you can kind of wrap
things up and then we will have questions so if you are listening and do happen to have questions
feel free to drop those in the comment threads below and we will get those up at a Q&A session
a little bit later in the episode so with that being said let's go ahead and kick this off and
uh we will go with uh let's go with turn first your 10 minutes starts now can you hear me
sure can sweet new device uh all right cool yeah. I'm just going to wing it. This is Crypto Matt Kay here calling in. I am the VD and content guy over at Tern. We are an infrastructure project. Infrastructure in the sense that we are an interoperable, intense-based protocol that is currently in Testnet.
We have approximately six networks that we support right now in our Testnet.
We're actually on a Spaces campaign promoting our most recent launch of Monad.
The Monad testnet has been doing great.
The Monad Testnet has been doing great.
We also have a space that we are hosting tomorrow interviewing projects on Monad to get more users and testers onto our testnet.
So feel free to or into our profile, you'll be able to find out more information about Monad,
about our testnet being live,
and, you know, steps to get activated there.
As for, you know, what we look to solve,
like I mentioned, we are an interoperable,
intense-based project.
Interoperability pretty much signifies the ability for users to interact on different
protocol, on different networks in a very seamless way.
So with our intense focused approach, we look to solve, we look to offer the user a solution to get their assets from one chain to another.
Meaning if you want to have Ethereum on Arbitrum, or if you have Ethereum on Arbitrum and you want to swap it over to Ethereum on Optimism, your intent to do so would be activated by using our bridge UI.
And through a few clicks, you send out the intent.
The intent then gets put, you effectively put a bid out into our network
to send the execution, the transaction across chain and our executors,
which are effectively the solvers or validators of our network, will then pick up the bid and
whoever ends up winning the bid will then be given the opportunity to execute that transaction on chain.
Executors or the solvers will then be rewarded for offering the liquidity on our protocol.
And there is a small protocol fee that gets taken out of that as well. So after a few seconds, the transaction
gets put on the blockchain, verified, confirmed, and the user then gets the desired asset from the
executor. This is a pretty cool, you know, it's one of our unique selling
propositions. The fact that we have these executors, it makes our product less probable
to exploitation because there is no centralized liquidity pool that has all of the assets
sitting, waiting to be distributed to the users
when they go to activate the swaps,
all of the liquidity is being provided by the executors.
So the executors, we are currently in V2 of our testnet.
In V1 of our testnet, we had over 9,000 executors
validating transactions on the network and
validating transactions for over 120,000 users, unique users. So we're really excited to be that we actually just crossed the v1 uh testnet volume the other day uh so in terms of volume
transacted um we uh we actually just hit a new record recently breaking uh v1 um you know end end of V1 volume there. So we're excited about that. The Testnet V2 is set up to help validate
higher Ethereum transactions, meaning we're not necessarily looking for the small micro
transactions right now. We are optimizing the network to be able to handle higher volume
in terms of cash volume or USD valuation.
So you may have been putting through 0.1, 0.2 Ethereum on V1, now we're focusing on validating and being able to execute your 5, 10, 50, 100 Ethereum transactions currently.
So our testnet is coming up.
Or rather, we're on the road to mainnet and TGE.
You can expect about two or three more networks to get launched on our test net as we head to our road to main net campaign.
You can expect that to be coming out around end of Q2, early Q3.
But you can assume that once we launch these next few networks, there will be a brief period where we pivot and focus our efforts on launching our road to TGE slash mainnet campaign.
So lots of really fun things coming up the pipeline.
You can give us a follow.
You can send us a DM if you're a project looking to launch on Monad or if you need support on bridging services for Monad or any of your businesses that you have running.
calls and see where we can help folks in their roadmap as they look to embrace new networks
on Testnet or embrace bridge swapping services.
So that's our MVP that we're working on right now.
After we launch on Mainnet and TGE, we will be looking to integrate into your LIFI's and your across protocols of
the world, your jumper exchanges, followed by, you know, having more liquidity providers on board,
as well as different partnerships to help validate cross-chain swaps for folks in the
crypto ecosystem.
So I actually don't know how much more time I have,
but I think that's a pretty holistic view of where we're heading.
I will release some alpha that next Monday we're launching Say.
So if you have any Say products or projects that you like
and would like to see them interviewed on our spaces,
our Say network launch space is next Thursday.
We are happy to get any feedback or recommendations
for projects that want to speak on that space.
Just DM us on turn or DM me personally, Crypto Matt K.
I'm down in the audience.
Happy to chat and get to know you
there and get some more SAVE projects up on stage with us next Thursday. So
yeah, I don't know how much more time I have, but I think I'll just yield the rest of my time there.
I'm pretty happy with getting that done. Let me know.
All right. All right.
All right.
Yeah.
You had about 90 seconds left.
So you're good.
Cool.
So yeah, that was turn everybody.
So if you happen to have any questions for turn,
make sure that you drop those in the comment threads below.
We'll bring those questions up a little bit later in the episode.
Likewise, turn if you want,
feel free to jump out there and answer
any of those questions that are floating down in the comments uh section uh next up let's go with uh
elephant go for it okay actually hi hi guys uh actually it's elephant
actually hi hi guys uh actually it's elephant but that's okay yeah so hi everyone yeah and i will
start my page today so uh yeah you guys can imagine your world where uh every chat you have earned
your crypto and your social connection turns into a real value so that's elephant and i'm here to
show you why it's the last big thing in web3 so So my name is Johnson and I'm the CMOS Elfen.
So I'll pitch our platform today.
So a social file leader with over 100,000 KYC verified users
and 20,000 daily activities.
And we're focusing on the audio mining empty assets and dao governance
and i will highlight our family system and our low cpa and plans to hit two million users by q4
in 2025 so i will keep it lively and sharing how often web2 like experience tapping to the 2 billion potential users in india and southeast
asia and the middle east so uh i want you with me to have a overview of elephant and our product so
open is described as the world first audio streaming mind in social vibe platform and
we are headquartered in dubai and with a mission to return the value of socializing to users.
It combines voice-based socializing with blockchain technology and allowing users to earn TALK, our virtual token,
through the voice chat and community activities and participate in the DAO governance families. And we have some key features,
and it includes the first,
the Mesh 1v1 voice,
a user-friendly voice chat feature with on-chain recording,
ensuring the transparency and privacy through the encrypted voice data
and voice print ID for authenticity.
And secondly, is the family system
and so users they can create our users they can create or join decentralized communities
like our family system and they can earn contribution points through interaction and
unlock the reward like empty mining booth boost and revenue share and it's governed
by the DL principles and the friendly is a dual token model uh dual token model and uh we not
only have the talk TALK but we also have the FA so TALK is for mining and reward and FA is for mining and rewards, and FA is for governance and empty upgrades.
And it's creating a closed-loop economic system.
So recent updates highlight a revolutionary version with family governance and social
assetization and charging the global market like India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East,
with a focus on a low barrier to entry and high users retention.
Elvin's current users metric as of the latest data,
we include over the 100 KYC verified users and 20,000 daily active users with a growth rate of 15% month over month.
The users' accruciation cost is remarkably low at 0.05 and driven by a web tool like users experience that attract the traditional social media users.
Distraction is crucial for investors, showcasing rapid adoption and scalability.
The web-free social market is poised for its positive growth, particularly in high growth regions with over 2 billion
social media users.
And often its focus on India, Southwest Asia and the Middle East.
Alliance with mobile internet penetration trends positioning it to capture significant competitive advantage will include the innovation family system,
our family system, and it combines social interaction with decentralized governance,
and it fosters high engagement and retention, and with the daily engagement metric
paired with top social apps. And the second, the VultSpring ID.
The VultSpring ID will ensure users of intensity.
It will eliminate the bot and enhancing the trust,
a critical factor in Web3.
And another is our low CPA. So our CPA is basically at the 0.05 and
often efficient marketing strategy will allow rapid scaling without excessive spending.
A key differentiator from the competitor. And the next one is the global reach.
So the cross-trend compatibility
and localized strategies break down the region barrier
and it will enable its potential users growth.
So Elvin's revenue model, I will introduce our revenue model.
So Elvin's revenue model is muti-
muti- ficated insurance, sustainability,
and the investor appeal.
So the first one is about the transaction fee,
and it's charged on in-platform activities like tokens, web and interaction
and analysis of our premium features like the subscription based access to advanced family
tools and exclusive content such as the premium version, such as the match premium, such as the premium, such as the match premium, such as the very little function.
Another thing is the partnership.
So we will collaborate with the project and the branch for the marketing and promotion.
And tap into the open user space.
And the next one is about the token appreciation.
So as the ecosystem grows, the TALK and FA or token value are expected to appreciate,
benefiting both users and investors.
And the next one is our growth
growth strategy and so we our growth strategy focus on the market expansion and we feature
development and community building so um for the market expansion and we localizing the platform for key markets forming a partnership with local influencers and charging 1 million users by Q4 2025.
And we will keep developing our features like we will introduce
we will introduce
to broader appeal.
Also, we will fully decentralize the governance,
giving families more control to drive organic growth.
So, financial projections based on current growth rate,
such as revenue potential in the test of
medium by 2026,
driven by user scale and premium feature adoption.
The last.
90 seconds.
Before the end, I want you guys to know about we have a function, it's about the family system, right?
So we will invite a lot of the project, they can join our platform and they can create their post room,
platform and they can create their uh post room they can create their their uh customized tasks
for the users and they will very be helpful for them to uh gather users from elephant so it's uh
so for now uh we won't uh we won't have any money.
If you guys are interested about that, you can DM this account to talk about how to create a voice room,
and also the custom my tasks, and also how to have a space on our platform, our product.
If you're interested just
dm that's in this account and i think my pitch is end so thank you yeah there you have it uh that
was elephant uh the uh if you happen to have any questions for them definitely throw those down in
the comments below we'll bring those up a little bit later. If you're just tuning in, my name is Cody and I am the host of the 10-Minute Pitch Show,
where basically projects get to pitch to you, making you the shark in the classic speed dating
format. They get 10 minutes uninterrupted. And so we have basically a new project pitching every 10 minutes.
So if you haven't done so, please share this out.
Help us beat the algorithms and get more people for these projects pitching so that they can have more ears.
That would be fantastic.
I would love you forever.
And so with that being said, let's move on to the next project that will be pitching.
And let's go with King Snooch.
Go for it, my friend.
GM Cody, GM.
Yeah, so I'll do my 10-minute pitch on Game Talk,
the project that myself, Marcello, and Burb are working on,
give a little bit of backstory on how it started
and where we're at now and what our vision is.
It started a little bit before the beginning of the year. We all were sitting there talking about
how Game Informer had stopped coming out and how it was greatly missed having a place for gamers
to go read about good games. So we thought, well, why don't we create a weekly space where we get
founders of these Web3 games and some of the players and content creators,
KOLs,
whatever you want to call them and have them on an AMA where we can ask the
questions that people would want to know about the games.
And that's where it kind of started.
And then we decided,
you know,
well,
this is going really well.
Why don't we,
why don't we turn this into a magazine,
just like game informer where people could go read these articles afterwards and read up what was said in the spaces so they
can find out about these cool games and it really started taking off really well and you know our
vision was to always provide an unbiased um unbiased information about these spaces uh about these projects so we we agreed from day one
that at no point in any time on this project will we ever asked to be paid by the games that we have
on our show or the games that we have in the magazine and we will never do any advertisements
paid advertisements from games in our magazine we did we did this
because we wanted to remain like we didn't want to be the typical paid shill of you know that you
see on people advertising for games you know they're obviously paid they don't really care
about the game they're just doing it to make money we want to be a source that people go to
to hear unpaid for information about games so we started doing that
and then we thought you know how do we how do we how do we help everybody grow you know i like the
phrase you know a rising tide lifts all ships so we decided we wanted to do a subscription base
with nfts where you could subscribe to the magazine
by minting your nft of that issue and they come out every two months now the way we figured this
would work is games need to get their their product out into the eyes of gamers that's one
of the things that they struggle with so by having them on the show, putting them in the magazine,
that helps them get more eyes on it.
Now the gamers, they wanna know more about the games.
And we thought, well, how can we reward our subscribers
by giving back to them somehow?
And what we came up with was our NFT Bint
puts an NFT into the wallet of our subscribers and gamers.
And then the projects that come onto our show, we let them know, hey, here's our collection of NFTs that are in the wallets of all these gamers that are subscribing.
And now you have a catered list of gamers that you can airdrop if you decide to we don't require
this we say you know we suggest it to them we say you might want to you might want to airdrop
some of your tokens or some of your in-game assets to our subscribers because it puts it's
way better than like an airdrop campaign where 90 of it goes to bots that are
just going to dump on you anyway this this kind of helps everybody grow right it helps us grow
because the people who mint it and they get the nfts they help us by spreading the word about it
which helps more people get informed about you know what what we're building and the games that
come on there are able to drop actual assets to actual gamers in real time and i just i feel like
it was very much needed in the space and it wasn't happening so we took it upon ourselves
to do it we've been doing really well so far our first issue went out um almost a month ago
we printed 40 physical copies of it that a few people were able to get um a few more are getting
sent out soon um let's see what else is there some of the some of the projects we've had on
there like parallel maple store universe off the grid had some pretty good had on there, like Parallel, MapleStore Universe, Off the Grid, had some
pretty good projects on there. But at the end of the day, our main goal is to inform people of what
cool games are out there, what they're like, how to play them. We try to get the devs on there. We
try to get some of the top players, like, for example, with Off the Grid, we had Cairo on there,
who's one of the top players, telling us about what's the best loadouts to use, what's the metas.
Basically giving you tips and tricks on how to play the games better.
That's our vision.
And where we hope to be down the road is to the point where we have advertisements in our magazine from people like Alienware or Monster or Red Bull.
That's the vision, you know?
I think that's where we're headed.
And so far, it's been going really well.
We're booked out into almost the end of June already.
So if you're a game that has a playable game
and you're interested in being featured in the magazine,
feel free to reach out to us.
And we'll set up a call and see if it's a good fit.
There we go. All right. That was King Snooch. Yeah. I think he had me at Red Bull. You know,
that's the quickest way to my heart. All right. So yeah, if you have any questions for Snooch
and his project that he's working on, definitely throw those out in the comments.
He's a great guy to talk to.
He would be more than happy to answer your questions.
So, moving on, let's move on to Ethos.io.
Go for it.
Your 10 minutes starts now.
All right.
Awesome.
And good morning to you as well, Cody.
I'm just going to pin something up in the top, if that's all right. I uh good morning to you as well cody uh i'm just gonna pin something up in the top if that's all right i don't know this the uh the jumbotron etiquette but if that's cool
with you um i've got a post here from my personal account hero x that's down in the listeners um
this will be a link to check out if you're interested in trying out the product.
And then a promo video here for the second one.
If you just want a quick overview while I'm talking.
All right.
So we've got those up at the top.
So Ethos is a self-custody wallet at its core, but it's also a high-powered
trading platform. So what we do is we aggregate several different services all into one convenient
place. It's very similar to like a MetaMask or Phantom. You know, those might be some of our competitors. But we do offer some unique features as well.
One of those being the patent pending Ethos Key Guard,
where it will take your seed phrase
and shard it and encrypt it.
And then similar to what Ledger did,
what we do differently is the user
has control of those pieces.
So we don't have custody of the keys or anything like that.
And basically the purpose of that is to eliminate what some people might call key anxiety for new users
that are coming from like a centralized exchange.
So they're able to choose five security questions with secret answers, similar to what you do with a traditional password reset.
And if they ever lose their device or their seed phrase, they can recover the wallet using those, you know, sharded encrypted pieces.
So that's one thing that we do differently. We also do a lot of partnerships and we like to
partner with like different meme coins or any token-based project release as we're a trading
platform. And we do all of this at no cost. You know, we do things like
ZLE competitions. We do trading competitions that are all volume based in the app. And really the
prize pool, you know, we can go 50-50 on it. So it's not like, you know, the bigger tier ones
where they're going to ask you for a ton of money just for a retweet or something. We're in the trenches as well.
So we've got a lot of great partnerships. We also just launched a referral system where I don't
think a lot of other DeFi platforms are doing this, but we're offering up to 30% rev share
on all referrals that you bring into the app too we're really trying to stimulate uh growth as
as we've just sort of launched last week um so you know if you are in the audience listening and
you're you're interested in trying out a new wallet with a bunch of trading platforms or uh
sorry trading integrations built in uh it could be a good time because you know not a lot of people
are using these coats.
You're kind of some of the first people to hear about it.
So you could potentially build your empire if you're into that sort of thing.
Yeah, so we've got that.
There's also a reward system, like we call it ethos quests.
So you can go in and there's some one-time actions you can take,
usually trading based, and you can earn ethos tokens.
And then we've also planned to introduce a recurring reward system.
So basically we're like,
we're like very focused on rewarding you for stuff that you may already be
doing anyway.
Really trying to stimulate growth there.
As far as some of what you can do in the app,
currently we support nine networks.
We've got all the EVMs plus Solana and Bitcoin.
We're looking at expanding into Sui or maybe Cardano.
And if you are listening right now and you're familiar with those, feel free
to reach out to us. We are always open to collaborating and partnerships and stuff like
that as we kind of venture towards the SUI ecosystem. You can trade across Jupiter, ZeroX,
you can trade across jupiter zero x houdini swap thor chain uh you can add custom tokens
um we've got it's it's got a really sort of centralized exchange feel but with all the
security of the defy app so like our partnership with um circle we just recently were introduced into the circle alliance and um with that you can purchase usdc
in the app with fiat via um you know g pay apple debit credit whatever your your region supports
but essentially you can buy usdc and then we also have a gasless transaction feature which uh all solana tokens are supported by gasless
most eth and then some base as well but anyway you know the whole flow just to simplify it
you can onboard with fiat to usdc and then trade with usdc without the need for native tokens
like solar eth you can pay the gas with the USDC.
So we're really trying to make, you know,
as familiar experience to a centralized exchange
while introducing these simple safety features
like the ethos key guard,
and as well as, you know, all the incentives to be had there.
So again, you can, at the top,
the first pin tweet there where it says diamond opportunity. I've got a promo code there if anyone's interested in using it. If you do
create a wallet using the code hero X, you will get three months of the diamond reward level,
which is the second best. And that will give you 30% discount
on all your trade fees for three months.
And then the second pin tweet at the top there
is the promo video.
And I think that was about seven minutes,
but that's pretty much all I've got.
So feel free to drop any questions in the bottom
as Cody usually says.
And thanks for your time.
Awesome. Yeah, thanks for taking my job i appreciate it no that was uh ethos there so uh yeah uh if you need a wallet
definitely reach out to them and uh thanks everybody for tuning in we appreciate it uh
i know the projects that are pitching and have pitched already do appreciate you guys.
If you want, give them a follow.
They definitely deserve it.
All these projects do.
They need some love and support from the community.
So definitely, definitely reach out and give them a follow.
So with that being said, let's kind of keep moving along.
We've got a jam-packed house today.
So next up, we have the PypeGDAO.
Go for it.
Good afternoon, everyone.
This is the PypeGDAO, and this is Batsi Rai Muguti.wallet,
a.k.a. Batsi, the founder and lead contributor of the PypeGDAO behind the account.
Thanks for letting me join, and I'm looking forward to presenting to you today.
So I'm excited to introduce the PipeGDAO.
It's a members-only impact finance ecosystem,
which is focused on transforming not only university research
into real-world innovations through decentralized tokenization.
So this is primarily DESAI, but we'll also be doing other impact projects as well.
But we're primarily focused on real-world innovations from universities via DESAI.
So some context.
Every year, there's billions spent on research and development.
Every year, there's billions spent on research and development.
I think last I checked, there was 500 billion spent on R&D in the European Union.
And up to 83% of European university inventions never make it to market.
This is due to a state of affairs called the European paradox.
European paradox.
You know, Europe kind of lags behind in producing unicorns
in terms of tech unicorns because of just the way things are,
you know, lack of, you know, embracing technological innovation,
lack of risk-taking, loss of bureaucracy in universities and so on.
And, you know, actually, startups that come out of universities have a 95%, particularly tech startups, have a 95% success rate compared to non-university projects, which only have 5% success rate.
success rate. So there is a big gap there, and these university projects could change the world
if they reach the market. And there's a funding gap there, and this is the problem that the PipeGDAO
wants to address. So the PipeGDAO exists to fund and accelerate these world-changing projects by turning real-world assets, which is the IP, on these projects
and connecting them to a passionate, impact-driven investor community here on Web3.
So at the heart of the PypeGDAO suite of interoperable products, and they will be interoperable via Layer 1X,
that are designed to support each other,
we have the GSTARTER launchpad,
which is going to be a cross-chain AI-enabled launchpad
for verified projects,
not only in DSi, but all over Web3
that are looking to raise on our launchpad.
And we've also got the PGF DeSci launchpad, which is currently live.
So if you head over to the pipegdao.io and click invest,
it'll take you straight through to the DeSci launchpad.
That's our flagship multi-chain product in which we're raising money for these early-stage university
DSI ventures. We also have the GDAO governance token, which is up and coming, and we are doing
an initial rights offering starting this quarter for that, so a public sale that's going to be on
launchpads and so on, and that's happening this quarter and which will be announced soon.
That's our governance and utility token that powers the entire ecosystem.
And then the GDAO token, it actually creates sub-GDAOs or sub-funds,
which can be used to target other problems,
not just the university projects, the university, the European paradox, but
any other impact problems that the community decides to solve.
So how does this work?
So we have the D-Site launchpad. So researchers apply, and they are added to the Pipe platform, which is the Web2 platform, which is a secure platform which allows scientific research to be securely disclosed in an agnostic way, so it's not tied down to any particular technology.
So we have the DECIDE launchpad.
And we use something called QED, which is a question evaluator side.
That's our due diligence mechanism.
And we also use TRLs, which is a technology readiness level.
These are used by NASA and SpaceX for hardware to deem it worthy to kind of go out into space and be ready.
So these are standard mechanisms used by universities and, you know, just to make sure stuff works.
And that's why the 95% success rate happens.
And we have, and the projects on the Py platform get up to 90 hours of due diligence
before they get any funding.
So once projects are approved for funding,
they get $2 million in seed capital from the GDAO,
with funds released in tranches as they meet key milestones.
And we accept USDC, which is obviously, as you know,
it's a stablecoin, an RWA stablecoin, into the fund.
And we are live on Avalanche, Arbitrum, Base, BNB chain, Optimism, and Polygon.
And we are soon to migrate to Layer 1X because they support most of those.
And they will bring Base on shortly.
And that will also give us access to Ethereum, Sol, and Bitcoin as well.
So our token will not be required
to use the platform and our token will not be a derivative of the DeSci projects listed on the
platform as Stablecoin in and Stablecoin out. Okay, so next, as Hoji started, which I mentioned before, which is the kind of, that's the front door, if you like, of the Desai
launchpad, of the Desai ecosystem.
So for you to be able to use Gstarter, you must be a PGF Launchpad member.
And the PGF Launchpad, once you make your first deposit, it means a soulbound membership
NFT.
And that is what then gives you access to Gstarter.
Okay.
So that's why we say members only, soulbound membership NFT,
mint it to your wallet as soon as you make your first deposit.
And Gstarter, it'll take liquid LSTs, liquid staking tokens,
as the medium of exchange. So for you to invest in projects, yous, liquid staking tokens, as the medium of exchange.
So for you to invest in projects, you must hold liquid staking tokens from Ethereum staking.
So this gives more utility to liquid staking token holders.
And we are going to have, so first we'll have an auto-buy-sell bot.
Initially, it'll just be auto-buy-sell, but then later on we are going to have AI enablement
in there as well to make it smarter. And the fees from the Gstarter launchpad,
a portion of those that'll be used to auto-deposit back into the D-Site launchpad.
So D-Starter is there to fund and accelerate the PGF launchpad and to basically power scientific research.
So it's an indirect funding model as well, right?
Because we know your D-Gens care more about coins than you do about scientific research.
So we're still allowing you to fund them indirectly as well.
So a lot of the funds will be recycled back into that.
So it's a one-stop launch pad with built-in yield,
security, and anti-rug protections.
This is via the release pool mechanism,
which L1X already have,
and that's going to be commercialized via Gstarter.
And the release pool just means that tokens are sold from token sales
on the launchpad based on performance, like trading volume, token price, and liquidity.
Okay?
So that's an anti-dump and anti-rug mechanism,
and that's done in partnership with Layer 1X.
And Layer 1X have over 170,000 community members.
So that's going to be, as I said,
it's going to be commercialized via the GSTARTA launchpad.
So it's the only crypto launchpad that's going to have
this novel anti-dump mechanism,
which is the L1X release pool.
So the GDAO token utility, it governs ecosystem development.
So if there are any developments...
60 seconds.
If there are any developments that are happening for the ecosystem,
the community decide that.
It acts as the ignition currency for any new funds,
like I said, impact funds,
and DEX fees collected from the GDAO token will be used,
a portion of those will be used to deposit
into the DSAI launchpad as well.
So, okay.
So the PGF launchpad, you know, in terms of our milestones, we are listed on DAP Radar, rwa.xyz.
We're also listed on MagicSquare.
Pipe, which is our Web2 partner platform, has over 40 universities and 400 associates who are a network of professionals who actually work on the projects and get sweat equity RWA shares in those projects as well.
So you can not only invest in the D-Site projects, but also join them as well.
We are doing an initial rides offering, which is our public sale,
and the price will be 0.025 cents, and the DEX listing price will be 40 cents.
That's basically, you know, you look like you're looking at a 97% discount,
if I'm not mistaken, or something like that.
So there'll be a big discount for the public sale.
So make sure you follow us for details of that.
There'll be 100 million tokens available for the initial rights offering,
and they'll be distributed via the release pools,
so for the anti-dump mechanism as well, and so on.
So that's pretty much it, guys.
I hope you've enjoyed the presentation.
All right.
That was the PykeGDAO and GStarter, guys.
If you have any questions for them,
definitely reach out to them in the comments section below.
We appreciate it. And next up, we have EQX. Go for it. Hey, thanks, Cody. Hey, everyone. I'm Hany. I'm the Director
of Marketing at EQXchange. I'm really excited to share with you what we're building today
and why we believe it has the potential to redefine how people engage with crypto exchanges
entirely. So let's start with this. Crypto doesn't have a tech problem. It has a trust problem.
We can all solve the tech hurdles of blockchain to make it scalable for billions, but let's be
real. Most people, your parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, they're probably wary jumping into
crypto due to the lack of trust in the space. And because of what we've seen in the headlines, we've all seen the wreckages, FTX, Celsius,
platforms that looked really solid from the outside until they collapsed. People lost everything.
And so bigger doesn't necessarily mean trustworthy. And the scariest part was that there were no
warning signs. So no transparency. Users were operating completely in the dark.
So that's the reality for most exchanges today. And they ask users to trust them blindly while
giving you no real way of verifying what's happening behind the scenes. So all this is
really the genesis of EQX change or EQX. And the problem we're solving with EQX is we think that trust is the single biggest issue in crypto
and so we're building the world's most transparent crypto exchange where users don't just participate
or we're just not asking users to trust us but we are an open book where we're reporting in real
time all of our financials on chain and off chain all in real time. So this has never been done before
by any company, let alone any crypto company. So we're really excited about this. It's a hard road
ahead to build this. It's by no means easy, but we think it's necessary to bring about real change
for the better in the crypto space. So our mission is simple, to make radical transparency the
foundation of the exchange experience.
So we're not talking about, you know, vague financial reports or, you know, delayed blog updates.
We really mean live, auditable, verifiable financial reporting, all available to users 24-7.
Combining our radical transparency, what we're also offering is a very seamless, easy user experience.
So think about the Apple experience of exchanges, right?
So any newcomer, even myself, by the way, like I've traded in crypto before.
I've been in the crypto space since early 2019.
And sometimes I go on these exchanges and I'm still overwhelmed by the sheer number of options
or just like just the UI, UX sometimes is just overwhelming.
So you can imagine that experience for somebody new to crypto who's just jumping in so
with EQ exchange in our platform we're combining our commitment to transparency
with also great seamless UI UX so for anyone that's in crypto whether you're a
newcomer or an experienced trader it'll be a great experience for you so let's
talk about this radical transparency offering and commitment that we have. So like I
mentioned we're the first exchange in the world to publicly report on all of
our financials on-chain and off-chain in real time. So what does that mean for you?
That means live proof of reserves not every month, not every quarter or even
every week it'll be in real time. It means real-time balance sheets.
So you can see our assets, our liabilities, again, all in real time.
Live income statements.
You'll know where we're generating revenue.
You'll know the true financial health of our company.
As you may or may not know, but proof of reserves right now for exchanges, it's really just a snapshot in time.
And we know that FTX collapsed in a matter of 11 days. So a lot can happen in a span of two weeks from one proof
of reserve to another. So we're going to be doing proof of reserve in real time. So that way people
can see our true financial health as an exchange and as a company. So there wouldn't be any any kind of
surprises ever and we think that that's one of the ways that we're earning users trust. We're not
just asking for it, we're an open book and it's really built into the product experience. So a
few weeks ago we partnered with a technology partner of ours called Knox Networks that is
actually helping to power our transparency live
hub, which you can actually see a mock of on our website, ecu.exchange. And it's really helped,
it's there to help to build essentially this real-time accounting platform in order to bring
our vision of radical transparency to life on our platform. So how we're built differently here compared to most exchanges?
Well, most exchanges profit by keeping users uninformed, right?
You're paying fees for withdrawal.
You don't know why.
You're paying a percentage for every trade.
You're also not sure why.
At EQX, we're kind of flipping the script around
and we're disrupting ourselves essentially and trying to
find ways to make the user experience fair and also be able to provide the lowest fees if we
can to our users. So, you know, we've built EQX from the ground up in order to prioritize
transparency over obfuscation, simplicity over gimmicks,
long-term trust over short-term gains.
We don't think that users should need to be auditors to know their assets are safe.
We think that transparency should be baked into the interface with no hidden fine print.
It's just really there for all to see.
And so one more thing that's really exciting as we've been building our platform,
because our app isn't launched yet, it will be very soon, we are launching our alpha in the next
week or so. So you can head to our website to join the waitlist to join the alpha. But one thing we've
also been building in parallel behind the scenes is something very special. It's we haven't
announced it yet. But I will tease it here today.
We're going to be launching a membership that actually flips the script on traditional fee
models. It's going to be called EQX Zero. And I'll just say this, it'll be the best membership in
crypto where users will be able to trade unlimited, zero fee trades, no caps, no catch for one low fee a month,
for actually for $8 a month, which is less than a subscription for Netflix.
This has never been seen before.
We're really excited about this launch.
actually because of how we've been able
to do real-time accounting and kind of see
where we can find the market inefficiencies
to pass on those savings to our users.
So stay tuned, it's gonna change the way people think
about trading on exchanges.
And yeah, so what we're building really,
it's a better platform.
It's also a commitment, a commitment that, you know, you'll never be left in the dark.
You'll always know how your exchange is operating.
And that trust won't just be assumed.
It'll be earned every day in real time.
And in an industry full of uncertainty, you know, EQX, we're building something that users can rely on.
We're transparent, we're verifiable.
And we're built for this generation of crypto users and rely on. We're transparent, we're verifiable, and we're built for this generation
of crypto users and the next. So if any of this resonates with any listeners here today,
come by our website, EQ.exchange, sign up for early access to our app. You'll also be among
the first to experience a transparent crypto platform, but also get first access to our groundbreaking EQX Zero membership
that I just mentioned. And yeah, we're just trying to rebuild trust through our radical
transparency. And we'd love to hear what you guys think. So give us a follow, check out our website.
And lastly, I want to mention that we also have a referral program that's actually quite generous,
where we actually help users earn as we grow.
So we're offering up to 50% commissions on trades for any referrals you bring in and become active traders.
And with this membership that I had mentioned, we also have a nice revenue share incentive for people who bring in members.
So we're very excited about that.
I'd love to hear what everybody thinks about this.
And yeah, that's what we're building at EQXchange.
All right.
That was EQX.
Thanks for coming up and pitching.
If you happen to have questions for them, definitely throw those out in the comment threads below uh to keep things moving right along uh we've got our last project
of the show pitching the standard go for it your 10 minutes starts now hey everyone uh thanks for
having me um we're very interesting projects um uh so my name is Joshua Shigala.
I've been in Bitcoin and crypto since late 2010.
And I have no hair left because of it.
This rollercoaster ride has been keeping me on my toes.
But I've been building technology for ages.
I lost a lot of money in the very first exchange back in the day.
And since then was obsessed with transparency in exchanges.
So it was great to hear that the last project was working on radical transparency.
I do have to say that I did start an exchange back in 2014 that had real-time transparency as well.
So you weren't not the first, but it's great to see that they're doing that.
It was called Voltoro. It was the first physical gold exchange, Bitcoin physical gold,
order book exchange, and anyway, so on and so forth. And now we're working on DeFi because we
had just enough of all of these centralized borrowing networks running off with people's
funds like Celsius and Block block fire we just don't
need it anymore the cypherpunk dream is to keep your private keys so we set out as a team four
years ago to build the standard.io where it was all smart contracts where people could borrow for
zero percent interest with only 110 collateral locked up up into smart vaults that they control with their private keys.
They do not give them up.
And not only that, you can put a whole bunch,
a whole portfolio of different assets into your smart vaults
and borrow against them.
So if you've got some ARBs, some Bitcoin, some ETH,
and you want to borrow against that as a whole,
as your collateral, you can.
And not only that, you borrow for 0% interest
and you can still trade your locked collateral.
So say you've got Bitcoin and you think,
oh, ARB's going to do really well.
You can trade that as long as your collateral value
doesn't drop below 110%, you're good to go.
Then we got to thinking hmm
collateral's just sitting there in this smart contract uh why isn't it working for us why isn't
it going out there and um being used as liquidity on uniswap and earning all those juicy trading
fees just trading back and forth because um uh we had chain link invest in us we've got very very good
strong connections with chain link we thought we can track the value of users collateral the
smart vault can and um and it doesn't matter if it's sitting there as liquidity in in a dex it
you know trip being traded back and forth as long as we can track
track it and um and as long as it doesn't fall below 110 so we then built a mechanism into our
smart contracts where people can now earn a yield on their collateral so not only can they borrow
for zero percent interest not only can they trade their locked collateral but they can also earn a yield on that collateral by placing it into just clicking earn a yield
and it will go off and do that.
Again, you're holding your private keys
and so it's really a game changer.
In terms of security, we have a self-redemption mechanism so
unlike other d5 protocols where random strangers if the if there's a dpeg can just go and redeem
people's vaults and and basically take their liquidity or take their collateral
our mechanism basically allows for the smart vault
themselves to see okay the there's a uh let's say there's a dpeg of the usds it will go and say oh
look uh usds is trading at 90 cents let's say so you know it's a massive dpeg all of a sudden
the vault can pay itself off a 10 discount so you've got a thousand dollar
debt against it it can pay itself off for 900 dollars because you know of the dpeg plus and
what that does is it has instant buying pressure for the usds and uh and that lifts the peg back
up and so because there's guaranteed always more collateral locked up
because it's 110% minimum collateralization,
there will always be enough collateral to keep the peg going.
Every smart vault is controlled by a dynamic NFT.
And what does this mean?
This means that the NFT is an image that updates in real time
with how much collateral
is in there what the collateral is and how much debt has been taken out against it and you can
actually sell your debt and collateral on on secondary markets as an nft so if somebody
buys the nft off you now they control that debt and that collateral and it's a really great way
now they control that debt and that collateral and it's a really great way i when i first came
up with the idea i was i um i built it to for people to be able to buy and sell debt and
collateral but one day i one of my seed phrases i thought oh maybe it's uh being compromised
because i thought it might have been compromised um and so i thought oh this what a hassle i have
to go and close all these debts and move all, you know,
pay off all these debts,
remove the collateral,
move it to a new seed phrase and then take out the debt again.
And I was doing that
with a bunch of different DeFi protocols.
And then I got to the standard
and I just went over to OpenSea,
grabbed 15 NFTs
because it was a testing wallet and uh
moved 15 volts at once with one transaction all had like i don't know five different collateral
types different debt and all sorts of stuff and with one transaction moved it to a new wallet so
it was it was really nice little uh ux uh user experience experience, but it was something we didn't build for,
but that was a little cool side effect.
The team is absolutely amazing.
We're all a bunch of OGs that want to make DeFi cypherpunk again,
really focus on public-private key cryptography
and making sure that people keep their private keys people don't need to
trust exchanges centralized exchanges i've run them i understand them they're great we need them but
we've got to stop trusting especially lending platforms because as we saw with blockfi
it's if you've got a human at the other end trying to earn money from your collateral,
it's going to end in tears. So we don't want that. At the end of the day, the whole protocol is
governed by TST, which is the standard token. It earns a whole bunch of fees that get airdropped
onto it all the time in real time so there's
fees there's a one percent trading fee on your collateral so if you've got collateral locked in
and you've got a debt well people still want to trade right and each time they trade rather than
paying off their debt removing their collateral into uniswap and trading it for something else
they can just trade it and keep the debt but but they pay an extra 1% on that, and that gets dropped onto TST stakers.
Also, there's 1% that is taken from the yield that's earned, from the collateral that's put into the yield pools.
So that gets dropped onto the stakers, and there's a whole bunch of other things that we've got in the pipeline.
Yeah, so it's exciting times.
It's a really important project, I think,
because we wanted to build DeFi in a way that is easy to use,
is really for the normie to be able to go,
I need to buy a car, but I don't want to sell my crypto
and I don't want to get hit with capital gains tax.
So rather than getting hit with capital gains tax,
hey, lock up your crypto and borrow against it
at 0% interest.
And then when the taxman says, where'd you get that money?
You say, well, I borrowed it.
And this isn't financial advice
and every country is different,
but generally that's how it works.
And as long as you pay it back and when you pay it back, that means you can take out your collateral and get on with life.
And meanwhile, the whole time you held the private key.
It's all very, very important work.
And thank you very much for having me on this pitch day.
Yeah, that was the standard IO uh thanks for coming up and pitching and thanks to all of our projects that have pitched uh just kind
of looking through some of the comments i don't see anything that really sticks out as a question
lots of love and support which is always good for projects to have and to see on their pitches so
for projects to have and to see on their pitches.
So thanks, everybody, for coming.
Just a quick 30-second pitch about Layer 1X.
If you are looking for a fully decentralized,
bridgeless interoperability technology for your project
or just for using for everyday swaps,
I highly, highly recommend Layer 1X.
We've built our own VM and consensus models, which allows us to connect to not only EVM, but non-EVM chains as well. So
allowing more security, more decentralization where you own and you own your assets 100% of the way through the transaction.
That's why we are a bridgeless, cross-chain, interoperable solution
that is now taking it to the next level and focusing on quantum resistance.
So if you want to know what that means,
I will drop a link in the Jumbotron here
for you guys to basically learn
more about that. But if you think that was enough security, wait until you see the quantum side of
things. So with that being said, thanks everybody for tuning in. Please give these projects a pitch.
And as I stated at the beginning of the show, by appearing on the 10-minute pitch,
L1X doesn't endorse directly. Do your own research as always. And this whole show is for educational
and entertainment purposes. Hopefully you got something out of it. Hopefully you learned about some new projects
that might have perked your interest.
So go for it.
Do your own research.
Have fun.
And until the next episode,
keep working to unite all the crypto.
That's what's going to keep us moving forward.
Thanks, everybody.
We'll catch you on the next episode.
Bye-bye.
Thanks, everyone.
