Full Transcription
Thank you. Hello, hello, can you hear me?
I can hear you.
How are you?
Doing great.
How are you doing, sir?
Doing well, doing well.
Give me just a sec.
We're trying to get the rest of the crew up on stage here and then we'll begin All right, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Wherever you're at in this crypto world.
My name is Cody and I will be your host for today on the 10 Minute Pitch Show.
We are trying to get a few of the remaining projects that will be pitching to us up on stage.
So if you're having a hard time joining us, definitely drop out and come back in and we will get you up on stage as quickly as possible.
One sec, got a few people joining here.
So with that being said, the 10 Minute Pitch Show is a little bit of a different format than probably what you're used to. How it works is basically it's a take on the old classic speed dating format
where projects get to shill for an uninterrupted 10 minutes. And basically, we hold all the
questions and hold all the applause till the end of their pitch. And we a q a session at the end for anybody that has questions so
if you happen to have questions for any of our projects shillin today please please drop those
in the threads below and we will bring those up later with that being said please, if you are pitching, no price manipulation, no talking about the price of your
token prediction or anything that would manipulate the market. Likewise, if you can't back up any of
your grandiose type of claims with data or tech, please steer away from that. Please just focus on the tech of your
project, the solutions or issues that it is looking to solve. That's what we're here for.
That's what our listeners are here for as well. We're trying to give them an unbiased kind of opinion and view into your project. So
with that being said, we do have a few other people that will be joining us a little bit later,
but for those that are here, we'll kick it off and get going. Again, before those that are listening
in, if you can just give this space a share, we would appreciate it.
It helps us with the algorithms and allows us to reach more people.
Likewise, before jumping into any project, make sure that you always do your own research as well.
This is for educational and entertainment purposes only. By no means is it
financial advice. So with that being said, first and foremost, let's kick it off. We will start
with, let's go with Maverick. Your 10 minutes, uninterrupted 10 minutes begins right now.
Wow, thank you. It's an honor to to be here and
be the first one thank you for having me um this is sam from maverick uh i was gonna be with us
today but you guys get the better half of the maverick founding team so you're all welcome for
that uh okay maverick maverick network is a it's a layer one blockchain designed specifically to handle real world assets, their tokenization and their integration into DeFi.
Our whole, we are extremely product focused.
We want to build products that actual people will use that will bring on retail next generation of users.
That's what we're building towards.
As part of this, we built a new token standard
that handles real-world assets.
It makes it extremely easy to tokenize assets
using this standard and integrating them into DeFi
while adjusting for the different rules and regulations
of the various jurisdictions across the world.
We have a protocol treasury and liquidity mining
that are validator
driven uh economic functions and features in the protocol itself to help foster ecosystem growth
and doing what needs to be done to help build a network economy from the ground up
we have forklift governance that allows for seamless upgrades to the chain itself and pushing out changes, updates, and so on
for the actual tech of the chain.
Proper and easy to use wallet as well
that can integrate seamlessly with real-world assets.
A way to Maverick Pro, which is a way to, in the wallet,
to have a KYC address to easily integrate
and interact with real-world assets.
We also have enshrined roll-ups.
Chain itself is energy efficient.
Our testnet is currently live.
We have about 2.1 million, more than that.
We have close to 3 million transactions happening on the testnet already.
200,000 active funded accounts.
Two, we're constantly growing and pushing forward.
If you take a look on our profile,
we have Mavopoly going.
It's our testnet.
We're trying to get people integrated and involved in our testnet
and see what you can actually do
with tradable real-world assets.
On Maverick,
by using the story of the game
that we all played as kids called Monopoly.
We're coining it Mavopoly.
And that's happening right now.
Go take a look.
We're on Testnet.
We have two dApps with us as well.
Equities, our primary issuance
and secondary market
for tokenized real world assets.
You can go take a look at that.
Equities.com.
It's already live on Testnet. And Maven Finance, our peer-to-peer lending down as well that's quite fun to use you can uh
buy actually buy assets on equities using testnet tokens go borrow against it in the defy platform
that's something that's not available right now and and most other l1s we're trying to build the
core of maverick we're trying to build the core of Maverick. We're trying to build this asset
and real-world asset ecosystem
where everything is interoperable and works together.
That's something that we don't see in other L1s.
People don't talk to each other.
So we're kind of vertically integrating everything
that's needed to jumpstart a network economy
and build it from the ground up.
And that's how we envision L1s should be itself.
And I think that's really the gist of it, guys.
I love to hear questions.
So if you guys do have any questions,
please raise your hand and feel free to ask.
We're onboarding.
Yes, D-Store.
Hey, yeah, other questions.
So you guys are all building this in-house
or other projects building on top of your chain?
The majority itself of this is built in-house and ready to go.
We've been building for a while,
and we realized that L1s need to,
that for new L1, you need to kind of jump start the
ecosystem itself with apps and things to do instead of just launching an l1 that can't actually do
anything yet just as a token so we're actually launching with built products that are ready to go
and with assets that are coming on board as well so we already have a series of assets that are coming on board as well. So we already have a series of assets that are ready to go
as soon as our main end is live.
So are you guys open to having people build on your chain at some point?
1000%.
Okay.
That's part of the thing with our liquidity mining and protocol treasury
is those are there to take a look at our docs guys
we're really sure it's quite that's great yeah um so what um type of architecture are you guys
building on is it like evm base no we're not even based we are based off of uh of a chain uh
We are based off of a chain of the Tesla.
What's for RWA to work with Web2 companies?
One of the things I talk to Web2 is about tokenized assets.
They really ask us about the on and them off.
Doesn't matter how good
the other tech is. The fact that there are so many
HEM has scared off to institutions
that we've been talking about.
So we needed something
robust and more secure to actually handle
assets.
We're cutting out
a little bit, but yeah, Tezos, that's interesting.
Yeah, we are just a worker of a uh we've done a bunch of modifications to uh one itself to fit economic vision
oh yeah i love that the forkless upgrades that's quite. It's going to help us if we want to.
Love that.
Yeah, as in the
ecosystems where they
had forklift upgrades,
I do appreciate
having those abilities.
All right.
Do you yield back
the rest of your time
then?
If anyone has any
other questions,
more than welcome
to ask.
Otherwise,
we don't otherwise half the time
okay that's it all right sounds good well that's uh maverick everybody uh again if you
are listening and happen to have questions feel free to drop those in the threads below
and uh we'll either bring them up a little bit later in the
show or you Maverick can reach out to them directly. So thanks for participating. We
appreciate you coming on today. The next one up that we'll do is Matthew. Let's go with you, my friend.
very cool good morning good morning i'll kick it off it's my little tedx talk um all right well
hello everyone i'm matthew i'm the ceo of building inc i've been researching and collaborating in
defy capital markets since 2020 i I've engaged corporate leaders, regulators, and academics
around the world to encourage enterprise blockchain adoption and tokenization.
Building Inc. is working on tokenized real estate, but I want to talk more specifically about data
because a lot of projects mention real world data, but they treat it like a checkbox.
You collect it once, you throw it on chain, and you move on.
But that's not really how real estate works.
So from our experience, we recognize that real estate is extremely data heavy and regulated. Probably the most data heavy and regulated asset class out there trying to be tokenized right now.
probably the most data-heavy regulated asset class out there trying to be tokenized right now.
It's not just about proving ownership or value once. It's about maintaining an ongoing record
of documents, inspections, leases, insurance, appraisals, permits, expenses, market data,
environmental reports, and all of those change over time.
So before a property can be financed, refinanced, or sold, someone has to assemble and validate
all of that, usually in a rush across PDFs, emails, and spreadsheets.
That's why deals either fall apart or take months.
It's also why lawyers and consultants make so much money.
And it's why asset valuations can be seven years outdated
and you're not going to trade a seven-year outdated valuation.
So all of this, it's not the asset, it's the mess around the assets.
So when someone says that they're bringing real estate on chain,
I always ask,
based on what? If the underlying data is messy, incomplete, or outdated, it doesn't matter that
you have a smart contract because you own an incredibly opaque and risky investment.
The opacity of private markets is another issue, but I'll address that later. We realized that tokenization is easy.
Data readiness is not.
Most real estate just isn't ready to be tokenized without serious cleanup.
So enter Building Inc.
We help real estate developers and asset managers organize their data early, like construction or
acquisition, into a structured, contextualized format. It's a live data room that continuously
updates leases, surveys, permits, models, design models, ESG reports, financial documents,
all normalized, hashed to the blockchain, and traceable with hyperlinks.
We can contribute that data to an appraisal or valuation model, creating a real-time health
and performance and compliance assessment of the assets, the tokenized asset. Once you've got this
thread in place, it's very easy. It's very lightweight to tokenize.
You can issue the tokens backed by real cash flows or equity and be confident that they reflect
the asset status in real time. A little bit about us, because I realized I sort of skimmed over
who we are and what we're doing. So we've chosen to specialize in real estate because it's difficult,
but it's truly one of the most valuable use cases for the technology.
And I'll give you a few different use cases.
So I've got folks on my team who are architectural designers,
and they understand that a lack of data creates rework
or incorrect, outdated, unauthorized data creates rework, which lowers the investment return.
I've got facilities managers background who are folks with a facilities management background
who know that a lack of data leads to risk and non-compliance. That's the black swan events on your real estate investment, even if it's on chain.
My head of compliance is 25 years in financial controllership, and he can tell you that
institutional capital will not hold your tokenized real estate because it lacks the proper data
for risk assessment or reporting.
or reporting so a lot of rwa teams are generalists we're not we're working directly with real estate
So a lot of RWA teams are generalists.
We're not.
developers and asset managers uh onboarding now in quarter one we've got about 200 million dollars
of assets going through the data pipeline to tokenization the whole platform data room and
tokenization engine is built around compliance, finance readiness, and auditability,
not just minting tokens and hoping that people are interested in the token themselves.
I promised that I'd talk about the opacity of private markets, and this is one of my
favorite emerging use cases. You'll probably recognize that it resembles zero-knowledge proofs.
But private markets prioritize privacy, and real estate is in a private market, generally
speaking, unless it's a REIT.
But most real estate's in a private market.
And they do that to protect someone's intellectual property, personal information, or to not
have to follow the regulation that's required
to go public with real estate. Very expensive and time consuming. But it also means if all of that
data about real estate is private, you can't put everything on a centralized database.
The issuers need to own and oversee their data. So now you're saying, well, if the data is private,
but I also want to invest in it and you're promising more transparency, how do we do this?
Blockchain offers the verification mechanism to publicly see that the proper audits and authorization of back office data is occurring, giving us trust in on-chain valuations without revealing everyone's secrets.
in on-chain valuations without revealing everyone's secrets.
Building Inc.
We can call it building, but building inc.
is our full name, is offering you the privacy of private markets
and the power of public markets.
Public markets are known for distribution of investments,
liquidity, accessibility, and transparency.
You have confidence.
Right now, during tariffs, you might It's you have confidence right now during tariffs.
You might have less of that confidence,
but you generally have confidence in equities markets.
It's a fine balance of accessible information,
price discovery, and the potential of global demand.
It's why we consider ourselves an operating system for the real estate,
but also a Bloomberg terminal,
and then a gold standard for that tokenized real estate, but also a Bloomberg terminal, and then a gold standard for that
tokenized real estate. So I think I'm coming up on time here. So to recap, we think RWAs have a huge
future, but the path forward is going to require a lot of deeper thinking about how trust, data,
and regulation work together, especially in real estate.
We're here to connect with others who care about getting this stuff right.
So different blockchains who are blockchain agnostic, different builders, different investors,
different researchers, if you have case studies, we want to establish a new standard for what it means to tokenize real estate starting at the base level
the asset itself to the capital stack and the financial instruments to the smart contracts
if that's applicable to you this is my little cta reach out and be sure to follow myself and building on X, LinkedIn, YouTube.
Follow us on Instagram or even our podcast, Code and Concrete on Spotify and Apple.
And I do encourage anyone speaking here, if you like speaking, certainly reach out to get on the show. We talk a lot about, you could assume, code, technology and real estate stuff.
So thank you for the opportunity to speak and take any questions and a best
of luck to everyone after me.
All right. That was a building ink.
We appreciate them coming up on stage and pitching and shilling building
ink. So yeah, definitely check them out uh again if you're
just tuning in my name is cody and i'm your host of the 10 minute pitch show uh classic take on the
speed dating uh format where you get to be the shark and get shield projects to you and have
projects shield to you uh likewise uh if you happen to have any questions for
like Building Inc, Maverick, and some of the others that are coming up, definitely, definitely
reach out to them through the threads below, and we will bring up your questions at a later time,
and we'll go from there. So with that being said, let's quickly move on to the next pitch,
which will be Victor. Are you there, my friend? Hey, I'm Victor. I'm the CEO and co-founder for Maiga.ai.
M-A-I-G-A.ai.
A little bit of shilling of what we do, of course, for this session.
Maiga.ai is building an AI agent for DeFi and crypto trading.
Of course, we know that there's a lot of different AI agents who are tackling in the same space.
We actually offer our differentiator and our uniqueness as well.
Let me show you what is our differentiator and why we have a chance to succeed in the market.
For Myga, there's actually a few points.
Number one, we are actually a working product right now as we speak.
You just need to go to the website, naiga.ai, and you can launch the AI agent on Telegram.
Effectively, any users who want to get some crypto signals for validation on their crypto trading strategies on any tickers that is available,
on their crypto trading strategies,
on any tickers that is available.
They could actually get
machine learning AI agent back
with data from many different sources
at our backend.
And the AI agent could give you
that information that you require
for you to do crypto trading.
So that information right now
is available for free.
The AI agent is available for free.
You can test it out, give us more feedback.
And of course, hopefully you find it useful
in your crypto trading journey with AI agent.
So the real reason we always say this is because of the why.
Why do you need an AI agent when you can do it on your own?
Because we want to bring in more crypto traders and people who actually want to get into DeFi
by using something that is easy to use, such as an AI agent.
There's a lot of bots out there and there's a lot of manual people who are doing a lot of
tranches activities.
For example, they look at different alpha groups,
signal groups, joining different trading groups,
and so forth.
Imagine having an AI agent that is actually unbiased,
does not have any other intention to pump and dump on you,
but will be able to give you the unbiased results based on data using machine learning
and AI agent for the users.
That is actually what you want because you have an impartial and yeah,
data backright for AI agent to give you the signal.
Therefore you can actually look at it and understand that maybe you can have
the trade or not.
So that is actually what MyGuy is doing right now as the first version of our
product. We will continue to upgrade, continue to improve,
continue to add in the automation of the AI agent,
adding in crypto funding rate,
adding in different data source to make the AI agent smarter over time.
The AI agent is your companion and your personal AI agent
for you in the crypto trading and in the DeFi space.
On top of that, on the second point,
we actually have a lot of traction recently as well. We have been building DeFi for the last four
years. We have launched token before, we have launched DeFi protocol before four years ago,
and we understand what it takes to build and of course the current problem in the space which i'll share more um we actually have more than 5 000 actual
active users using our ai agent since the ai my gal was launched one month ago uh in the beginning
of the year when we saw the ai agent for d5 makes sense we realized that hey i'm not going to keep
on building and uh solution on the infrasight to help people to connect to DeFi.
I want to create a product that is actually useful.
And AI agent for DeFi makes sense because you can create an AI agent that helps people.
So therefore, we pivoted, we changed and launched MyGA beginning of the year.
The product was launched one month ago.
And as I mentioned, we have more than 5,000 active users using our AI agent actively every day.
That is actually a number speak for itself
because we have not launched any airdrop.
We have not given anything out yet.
It's just random people trying out our product,
giving us feedback, and using our product,
which is something that we really want
and saw the potential in.
And of course, the last part, the innovation,
the actual innovation that we have, we bring
to the space is in our token model.
That is what I want to share a little bit today.
The token model is called Proof of Trading.
Proof of Trading is the token based on trading volume that launched by MyGA.
What does this mean? 99% of all the tokens in the world today that is launched
is actually broken because everybody is just selling
after the token is launched.
We first hand realize the information, as I mentioned,
we are an OG in this space.
We understand why these tokens actually have this problem.
The problem of all the tokens in the world today
is because these tokens are based on time.
Time-based token model is a sell-only event on the secondary market.
To wrap it up, what does it mean?
Everybody who are holding tokens today,
if you know there's a token unlocked tomorrow,
what would you do today?
The simple answer is,
I've validated and spoken
with more than
200 to 300 people,
including traders,
KOLs,
market makers,
exchanges,
community,
and so forth.
Everybody will be selling
their token today
if they know
there's an unlock tomorrow.
And this metaphor
is very important
because if everybody is selling a token,
why would anyone want to buy?
And that has demonstrated in all the tokens in the world today.
All these tokens are a sell-only token
because nobody is going to buy the token
because it's a sell-only token after TGNU.
And therefore, it poses a problem.
The team and the business need to figure out the value
accrual and so forth, and of course, continue to build as usual. But our token model changed the
narrative. Now, the token model will only unlock and incentivize based on the trading volume of
the token itself. If the token volume goes high, therefore, the unlock will happen more. If the token volume goes high, therefore the unlock will happen more.
If the token goes to a hundred million in trading volume or a billion in trading
volume across centralized exchanges, DAX, Perpetual, and so forth, the unlock will
happen more because there's sufficient organic demand people trading on their
token to unlock it, to supplement the selling pressure.
But of course, during a bear market such as now, if the token
moment goes down, the unlock shrinks as well.
On top of that, we also provide incentives up to 35% of the people who trades.
If you're trading our token, either you are AI agent, bots or real trader,
or even market makers, you get additional incentive for trading the token.
Therefore, proof of trading.
Similar to how Bitcoin works,
you are mining Bitcoin using your electricity cost to get Bitcoin.
Therefore, you are part of the network.
For proof of trading, we are doing the same,
except it's based on trading volume.
The more you trade the token, you get benefit of the incentive.
Therefore, helping the whole token model
and everybody involved in the MYGA works.
So, we are launching this token in the future,
of course, not yet.
I'm not shilling the price and so forth.
It's just to champion and explain
why proof-of-trading token model
is something the market needs.
Because all the tokens in the world today
suffers a problem and we need to fix that.
Otherwise, nobody will buy any more tokens
and we have to go to launch another way, right?
So we hope that Proof of Trading,
together with myguard.ai,
is going to champion and bring something new to the space
with an AI agent that works for the users
and a token that is anti-dumping
and help to improve on the token launch in the factory space.
Thank you very much.
All right. That was Victor and their AI project.
So thanks for participating today.
We appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to join us.
Next up, moving quite rapidly along, is uh distor let's go with you next
my friend hey guys thanks for having me appreciate everyone speaking um my name is dustin i'm co-founder
cmo of d store um you know a lot of your guys's projects are rwa based but they're mostly focused on institutional interests and you know enterprise
so we're we're in a different league per se so it's good that we're not competing with each
other because there's a lot of you guys in that same like uh you know like clothing and in the goods in general we first
started by uh selling opals um we uh purchased a opal mine back in australia in 2020 and uh we
ended up mining opals um which then we sent a pitch to discovery channel
and we got uh put on to uh one of the seasons of outback opal hunters about four years ago
and we ended up uh filming on television selling the first digital nft on television
sold in the metaverse um which is on our youtube channel if you guys want to check that out
or link tree um but we were wanting to take these goods you know and per se say opals or anything
and sell them on you know a wider audience and so we realized the value of blockchain right
and so with you know opals in general they're obviously
there's only so many people that want to buy opals obviously opals in Australia
are actually really desired but you know having that ability to reach a bigger
audience with blockchain so we transitioned to selling goods in general
and so we utilize blockchain to do transactions
and prove verification for those processes.
So in doing so, we created DStore.
And DStore allows us to utilize blockchain,
create NFTs and create verification for that process.
So with our technology, we created QR 2.0s,
you know, traditional QR codes,
you know, you scan it and then, you know,
there's the product.
Well, QR 2.0, it has product-based information
attached to those products.
So it proves verification of those products.
If it's a t-shirts, if it's, you know,
a necklace that came with, you know, documentation,
if it was a fidget coin, that's what we're offering.
Is our next product is a, what we call meme bullion coins,
but we'll go into that here in a sec.
But this allows that verification between blockchain
and the physical world.
So in doing so we first, you we first piloted clothing and whatnot.
And then we've seen some of our competitors.
There was ShopX, Bosun Protocol, Artifact.
And a lot of these projects utilized NFCs.
And NFCs are a good product for short term, right? But you have to also get the supply of these projects utilized NFCs and NFCs are a good product for a short term, right?
But you have to also get the supply of these chips, right?
So there is some, you know, in this case, tariffs in this case to obtain these chips.
So long-term vision for scalability is not possible, right?
So we figured QR codes are the best case scenario.
And this is where the governments are applying what is called digital product passports this is a long-term vision right
so obviously the government's going to go towards something they want to adopt so we want to adopt
something that's very similar so we partnered with our our partners to create these with anti-clonable QR codes, essentially.
And their partners are Targus, HeyDude, Shell.
You know, these are big conglomerates,
but they're focused on the Web2 side for digital product passports.
So for us, we are their Web3 arm.
So they allowed us, you know, together, using these anti-clonable QR codes to put on products.
And we piloted, like I mentioned, hoodies.
We have the necklaces, which are from what we call our MetaRock was our original product or project with the opals.
And then we decided that we want to move into physical metals and so we have a partner with our
partners acdc labs which is one of 16 entities in the united states to print or mint that print
to produce uh physical metals so they have a minting ability to create commemorative metals
this is our product we're releasing uh going forward is what we are releasing a
fidgetal metal coin is made out of hundred percent or nine nine nine silver
bullion as well as gold bullion obviously gold prices are pretty high so
it's kind of hard to you know gauge that for for our you know audience but you
know overall silver is you know ideally accessible right so that's
going to be our first product is allowing uh people to purchase the physical coins which a
digital nft is attached to it which then they can you know decide to trade on their own
um and this allows a lot of you know less friction with you know say uh you know uh i guess web 3 adjacent
you know people that are not necessarily fully web 3 or people that are outside of web 3 accessing
these uh digital coins or nfts per se their representation of the physical products right
so obviously there's a lot of regulatory aspects to it.
We're speaking to OpenSea about how that works.
We are working with Sonium,
which is a Sonium blockchain or Sony blockchain.
We worked with Astar Network,
which is the biggest Japanese blockchain.
So we're really connected in the, you know, RWA, I guess,
or blockchain space per se.
I've worked for many blockchains myself dustin
um but uh also co-founding dstor um so going forward we are working with canva we're becoming
the first blockchain dap on canva we just uh uh we've been talking to them in sydney or we're
based in australia so we have uh you know really deep
connections in australia with a lot of people in a mocha um with binance has a uh was not shop x uh
swift x you know like we're we're connected in australia quite a bit so we talk to all australian
companies we're trying to like you know highlight every every project around there and so we work with labris the biggest uh
australian uh blockchain development team and um so we're we're creating some really cool tools
um and then being connected with canva be a way for people to use our qr 2.0 standards put them
into their products so we don't have to actually create products for them um and then going forward
we're going to have some type of design-a-thon and allow others to um you know mint their nfts
on chain you know utilizing some type of like you know uh campaign that that you're going to be
releasing fairly soon um but yeah going forward we're going to be offering these physical meme coins. So in the case is going to be Doge coins.
We are talking to other KOLs and other ecosystems around like Pepe and Pudgy Penguins and Bored Apes.
So basically creating commemorative coins for all these different ecosystems.
And yeah, so now we're creating the mint and we are pretty much going
to be releasing our products soon, but obviously market conditions do apply. And so that's where
we're at at this time. So if there's any questions, feel free to ask me or reach out to me on our DMs.
All right, that was DStore. Thanks for coming on. We appreciate you. Next up we have, let's go with Kuma.
Your 10 minutes starts now.
Is it just me or is Kuma rugging on us?
I can't hear him.
Can't hear him.
Okay, great.
Kuma, if you want to drop off and come back in, we'll get you back up and we'll get you back in order to speak again.
Let's go with Nubila.
Your 10 minutes starts now.
Hey, what's up?
Okay, so 949.
Yeah, Crypto Matt K here.
Hey, Layer 1.
Thanks for having us.
Crypto Nought.
Yeah, Nubila.
So, you know, people are talking RWA's, the DeFi and AI are kind of the subjects we fit into like a few different niches here, but I'll start talking about D-Pen from a high level.
It's similar to RWA in the sense that, you know, you are using kind of like real world assets, but instead of, you know, real world fungible, like tangible things, right?
world fungible, like tangible things, right? I'll get into that in a second. But the difference
between, you know, RWA and D-PIN is that instead of having, you know, real estate, treasury bonds,
you know, gold bullion, you're using physical infrastructure. So D-PIN stands for decentralized
physical infrastructure. And the decentralization component comes in with these physical items that
make up a network of infrastructure. And so what does that mean? I mean, this can cover
a wide gamut of things from logistics to telecoms, communication. One of the first things that I got exposed to
in the deep end world was Helium Mobile Network.
So you can effectively think of Helium Mobile
as a telecom provider.
And instead of you purchasing a plan at T-Mobile or Verizon,
you essentially sign up for Helium Mobile.
They are so integrated and well built out now because they've been around for a couple of cycles.
I think this is, as I call it, their second cycle.
There's antennas and hotspots all over the world.
You could sign up for the Helium Mobile hotspot plan as a user.
plan as a user and they are effectively partnered up with T-Mobile.
So if you don't have access to a local hotspot, you would just use T-Mobile's antennas in
the US for instance.
So that's kind of like a breakdown of Deepin from a high level with the, you know,
telecom business model, the way the whole decentralized portion of that works from,
you know, I told about the consumer side, but the way that it works from the data validator
or like the provider side is that you as someone that wants to validate the network, purchase a hotspot, you set it up at your house. It's essentially an antenna for the,
and you become a telecom provider through that. So, and then because of that, you earn points
or token, which is effectively passive income, which allows you to pay for your bills if you
need to sell it to fiat, right? So the way that's kind of how Deepin works and the way that Nubala fits into all of this.
It is not only a Deepin project focused on weather, it is also an ESG project,
so environmental, social, and governance that's kind of like on our roadmap,
looking at air pollution, looking at carbon credits and helping companies gather that type of data in order to help reduce their carbon emissions is something that's on our roadmap. current state is we have these hardware devices called Marcos. A Marco is a personal weather
device that allows you to collect. I just pinned it up to the Jumbotron, by the way. You feel free
to jump in there and check out our Marco introduction post, and it kind of breaks down
what it looks like and how it works.
But effectively, you get this Marco device.
It's 249 MSRP.
We ship it to your house.
You set it up outside in your backyard on top of your shed or even in your house if that's
something you can do or outside of your apartment.
And you start collecting hyperlocal weather data. Why is this stuff important? There are prediction models that
are super at inaccurate out in the world right now. For instance, the temperature that is being
reported on my phone through I have an iPhone through the Apple app, they have a weather app
and it reports weather in my local area,
is vastly different than the weather that they're reporting on the local news. Local news have their
own personal weather devices, you can call it, that also collects weather data. So Apple app,
weather app, has an aggregate of data that they use to help predict weather in your local data that may or may not necessarily be accurate because they personally in your local weather station, they have more
accurate data. I think by a few Celsius, you'll see a difference between your local device and
what your local news is reporting. But I have seen personally now that I have a Marco now for a few months, whenever there is a really, really hot day, I've also even heard with our friends in the States in colder of the amount of, in terms of the
weather that's being reported. So clearly there's an inaccuracy in the weather that's being told
to us from these big corporate companies. We are here to give power back to the user and give
accurate data back to people that find this
stuff interesting or that need this for their daily lives.
And if you're someone that's a validator on our network or you have one of these Marco
devices and you deploy it into your backyard, you start collecting this data, it gets sent back to our database, which is effectively a 10-year-long running database with weather information aggregated over the last 10 years, because we also work alongside a big weather company out of the U.S. So you can imagine that not only 10 years of weather data plus this new data that's coming in from our 20,000 current live physical devices that are out there in the wild worldwide, as well as the 16,000 validators, which are effectively nodes,
that they're called in crypto.
Nodes are pretty much validators of networks.
So there are folks, there's 17, 16,000 folks out there
currently that have this effectively software
installed on their computer that helps validate
the weather data that's coming in.
You know, and this is stuff essentially looking
for inaccuracies.
It's looking for inefficiencies in the weather, like duplicates and stuff like that that's being sent in.
So those folks are earning points passively, validating this network and creating the weather data.
Now, this is where the AI kind of vertical comes into play as well.
We have an AI agent called Kayla. After my
pitch or while I have time, I'll scroll through and try to find Kayla. But Kayla is an AI agent
that has all of this information integrated into her. And so you could interact with Kayla on X
and learn about what type of clothes should I wear today in my local area.
So if you're someone that's in San Francisco, New York City, L.A., Texas, anywhere,
you can go ahead and actually ask Kayla, hey, like, what's the weather supposed to be like in my area?
So Kayla will respond to you.
And she's being fed all of this data in real time.
And she's being fed all of this data in real time.
So we have a wonderful kind of AI component being created here because of not only the recent AI boom, but this technology allows us to take all of the information that's coming in, feed it to an LLM model and create more accurate weather prediction data.
90 seconds.
Thanks. I guess that's the TLDR on
who we are and everything, but the 90 seconds. So there's Kayla. We're feeding all of this
information to LLM models. And yeah, I mean, RTGE is coming up soon. We don't have a date released on that anytime yet, but we are doing consistent giveaways through the Nubala network. I, for instance, do giveaways live on Spaces. So give us a follow. You can click through and join us on Spaces and maybe you'll win one of these devices.
and maybe you'll win one of these devices.
So it's, again, 249 MSRP.
If you're someone that's into weather data
and getting that improved,
I mean, there is over $5 billion in,
I think 5 billion is the number.
It's a very large number of damages
that is caused every year
due to traumatic weather events
and inaccurate weather data,
and we're looking to fix that problem. So I'll yield
my time. Thank you so much. All right. All right. That was Nubula Network. Thanks for jumping on.
We appreciate it. Lots of great info. And yes, if you are looking for more information, feel free to jump up onto the billboard there and we'll find it how to get that
dpin product of theirs so with that being said if you happen to have any questions for them
feel free to drop them in the threads below or reach out to them directly i'm pretty sure
they'll be interested in answering all of your questions so uh next up, let's try Kuma again.
Are you there?
Hey, I hope so.
Can you hear me?
Loud and clear.
Go for it.
Your 10 minutes starts now.
Hey, what's up, everybody?
Thanks for hosting this.
Thanks for having us on.
My name is Alex Warren.
I'm the co-founder and CEO of Kuma.
I've got a long history of building in crypto.
Actually started with a stable coin project back in 2015
when Tether was a 500K circulating supply.
I like to think we were right, but early on that one.
Initially, and then pivoted to an early decentralized exchange called IDEX.
We were actually the top decentralized exchange and order book based platform
for a couple of years from 2018 to 2020.
And we've taken all that knowledge of building a spot order book decentralized exchange and
rolled it into Kuma, a new layer two perp stacks built on Baruchain.
So a lot of people ask, why do we need another perp decks?
There's a lot of those in the market.
I agree there's a lot of them, but not a lot of good ones.
So a lot of them are kind of
cheap forks of existing technology, or they really don't stand to chance against the use case and
kind of the user experience of centralized exchanges. I think the elephant in the room
is Hyperliquid that showed it was possible to actually go against centralized exchanges
and take market share from them by building a comparable product.
And there's a huge opportunity for competition there.
So Binance is the biggest centralized exchange, but certainly not the only one.
And there's a lot of opportunity for others that can match that or exceed that user experience and provide what users are used to having on centralized exchanges, but without the
friction of KYC being kind of subject to custody risk of the centralized exchange,
or a lot of the other friction that comes from using those platforms. So a little bit about
Kuma. Kuma is a layer two perpstex. We are using an Arbitrum Orbit chain to custody and settle all
transactions. And it's anchored into Barachain to help grow liquidity and volume through their proof of liquidity mechanism.
It is highly performant.
So our matching engine runs in general around 10 millisecond latency.
So this is actually 20x lower than the matching times of the leading competitors.
It's a fully featured decentralized exchange, meaning it matches the UX that you would have on a centralized exchange.
So we've got TPSL at the time of order entry, TPSL placement on the chart, closed orders on the chart.
It's kind of hard to give a demo without a visual tool, but if you go and check out
kuma.bid, you'll be able to see the exchange itself and understand a lot of the care that
we put into the UI and the UX to really make this feel like a fully featured centralized
exchange, but with the added benefit of being control of your funds the entire time.
And we've got a lot of different things that we're using to help grow and boost adoption here.
So the product is live, went live a few months ago, and now we're fully in growth mode.
So we've got a market maker rewards program for those who are able to provide liquidity.
It's been able to attract a lot of big market makers such as Selene Capital and Jordi Alexander, if you're familiar with
his Twitter handle, Game Theorizing. And we have a lot of things that's oriented towards traders
as well. So part of being integrated with BearChain means that we can use their proof of
liquidity mechanism and the BGG rewards. If you're not familiar, it's a way to essentially have liquidity
mining at a L1 level so that we can tap into those liquidity mining rewards, pass them on to users
for activity that they have on our platform, primarily trading volume and referral volume.
So if you're a PERP trader who's interested in checking out the platform, you can get a huge,
essentially a rebate on all the activity that you do
by getting these rewards that are paid back to users
who are trading on the platform.
So that's live right now.
We've got a bunch of catalysts coming up on the product side.
We're going to be releasing our advanced vaults products soon.
So this is, if you're familiar with vaults products on DEXs,
they allow
for separation from the liquidity providers, those that are depositing, in this case, Stablecoin
Collateral, and the Vault Manager, the user who is actually directing trades on behalf of that
capital. So our advanced Vault product will allow for a lot more flexibility. So historically,
these have only allowed for sharing of P&L. Ours allows for a much wider range of structures and agreements between LPs and vault managers.
So for example, we have some market makers lined up that are going to be providing fixed rate vaults where you can earn a fixed yield of, say, 12% to 14% guaranteed rather than riding the volatility and the P&L of the market maker and the vault themselves.
and the P&L of the market maker and the vault themselves.
We're also going to be pairing that vault product
with BearChain's proof of liquidity
to help boost the rewards and the returns
for those passive LPs.
So we think it'll be one of the best places
to earn yield on chain
if you're into that kind of stable coin farming.
We will be releasing our points program
to go spawn with the kind of plan TGE of the Kuma token.
So I think a couple of people talked about TGE.
We think tokens and points programs are an amazing catalyst for growth if used at the
right time.
It's all about ensuring you have product market fit, a high quality product that will actually
be able to handle demand.
And actually, once you build the network effect with the points program, it's actually good enough to retain users.
So we see ourselves approaching that,
especially with the launch of our Vaults product,
and we'll be layering on the points program
in preparation for the eventual Kuma token TGE.
And then we've got a few other things kind of planned in the future
where we'll take our layer two and eventually open it up to other projects.
So right now it is fully focused on serving the use case of
settling transactions for Kuma. But in the future, we'd love for other products, other DeFi projects,
other tokens, etc. to launch and build on top of our platform and use the infrastructure that we're
building. Yeah, so that's kind of the TLDR. If you want to check us out, go to kuma.bid,
follow us on Twitter or follow me at Alex Warren.
All right. Thanks, Kuma. That was them pitching their Purps Network.
Love it. I love it. So if you want to learn more about them,
you know where to go find them. But if you happen to have any questions,
feel free to drop those in the threads below. I'm pretty sure they are just as excited to answer your questions as
you might be. So with that being said, just we have a few minutes left. I'll give a quick little
three-minute pitch about Layer 1X. If you're unfamiliar with Layer 1X, we are a fully
decentralized Layer 1 blockchain that specializes in bridgeless cross-chain interoperability called
Xtalk. That is our innovative technology that we are bringing to the table. We can definitely move
not only assets across EBM and non-EBM chains, we can also move data and logic as well without the use of a bridge, which is massive to take the LNX blockchain.
And with that, we are moving into what's known as quantum resistant cross-chain messaging, which will make it even more secure state for storage and multi-chain rollups.
If you would like to learn more, I will post the white paper on where we're headed by 2027 and beyond.
So making it secure for everybody.
Our whole ethos of Layer 1X is not to compete, but to unite all of the chains out there.
you can look at us as a universal translator
that translates all the different languages,
all the different blockchains
to make it a seamless user experience
for all of Web3 users.
So with that, I want to thank all of our projects
that pitched today.
We appreciate you guys taking time
out of your busy schedules to come
and tell us who's building and what you're building.
We have a lot of great crypto enthusiasts within not only our community, but in the Web3 space
in general, and they are always looking for the next moon project. So with that being said, again,
I hope you guys enjoyed the pitches. Please remember to do your own research.
By no means is this financial advice.
Please be mindful that this is only for educational and entertainment purposes.
So with that being said, thanks, everybody.
And we're here every Wednesday at 8 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.
If you are a project and would love to pitch on the show, feel free to DM us and we will get you hooked up so that you can join us on a future episode.
And to our listeners, be sure to tune in.
Set your reminders for the next week's time.
And we've got some pretty good projects already lined up and we will look
forward to seeing you guys again until then keep working to unite all of crypto and we'll talk to
you soon bye everyone network is our network thank you bye Thank you.
