Recorded: Jan. 12, 2024 Duration: 1:00:00Space Recording
Full Transcription
Good morning.
Good morning.
Hello.
Or actually, good afternoon.
Yeah, I guess it is.
No, not for battering.
Still morning for me.
Yeah, still morning for me.
It feels like morning for me.
I got up so early to bring my friend to the airport.
And then I slept a few more hours, but it feels like morning again.
Did you get up early, early, or did you get up Jenny early?
Well, we, no, we got up at like five.
Oh, okay, early, early.
It was really early, I would say.
So normally when you're still up?
No, I'm not that bad.
Come on.
Hello, everyone.
Hello.
Good afternoon.
Good evening, in fact.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Evening, afternoon, morning, we're all over the place.
And we'll bring up Gaurav there, Jenny, too.
Yep.
Sending him in the fight.
Good deal.
All right, Gaurav.
I don't know if they wanted to bring up the leap cosmos or not, but we'll, I guess, ask him.
Oh, so how's everyone's day going so far?
It's Friday.
It's Friday.
Guys, I've been bumping the new Ariana Grande song all morning.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, I haven't heard it yet.
It's catchy.
It's called Yes And So Catchy.
You got to get on it.
I'll have to check it out.
Well, maybe a little bit.
I'm sorry.
All good.
It's good, I swear.
Yeah, I'm sure I'll hear it eventually.
There will be no escaping it soon, I'm sure.
It'll be all the radio waves.
Yeah.
Gaurav, what's up?
Welcome.
Hey, hey.
Bad community.
Hey.
Yeah.
Can you hear me?
Hey, Gaurav, welcome.
Yeah, we can hear you.
It's good to have you.
Thanks.
Thanks for inviting me to the space, yeah.
Of course.
Were we, are we pronouncing your name properly?
Is it Gaurav?
Yeah.
Yep.
We are pronouncing correctly.
Okay, perfect.
Perfect.
Just making sure.
Where are you based, Gaurav?
I'm based out of India.
Very nice, very nice.
Oh, so what time is it for you right now?
It's a prox, like you can say, about day and only.
Uh, 10 in the morning?
No, no, it's UTC 5.30.
Oh, it's 5.30 a.m. over there?
No, no, it's 11.30 p.m. IST.
Ah, okay.
Yeah, you get that extra half hour of the IST, don't you?
Oh, yeah.
Well, thank you for taking time out of your night to be with us.
We're super grateful to have you here and to discuss Leap Cosmos and learn more about it.
And I think, oh, Moonbeamer is in the audience.
Hey, MB.
So, Moonbeamer is one of our lovely Bat Ambassadors, and she actually helped facilitate and set up this space today.
So, we're super grateful to her.
Thank you, Moonbeamer.
I think she may be at work, so she's just going to be listening in.
But we are sending you love and appreciation.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, like, quite grateful to her for her, like, setting this up and getting it arranged.
Lovely that we are here.
Yeah, we super appreciate it.
She's always great at bringing us interesting guests for the spaces.
And she's involved in a lot of different Web3 communities and just very dialed in.
So, yeah, we appreciate you.
Big time, MB.
So, yeah, guys, I guess we can kick off here officially.
Welcome back to another Friday Twitter space with the Bat Community.
Today we are, you could say, leaping into the Bat Cave with Garam, Leap Cosmos.
And just a quick overview of Leap before we dive into the intros and then the questions.
Leap is the only super wallet for the Cosmos, offering best-in-class UX to let you seamlessly explore the interchain.
It's the simplest and safest way to send, swap, and stake your digital assets.
That sounds awesome, and I can't wait to learn more.
And so we always run through a quick community intro here just for anybody who might tune into the recording later.
I think that everybody in the room right now is pretty familiar with us.
But for anyone who's tuning in later, we are thrilled to have you tuning into the recording.
We are the Bat Community, and we're all about Basic Attention Token,
which is an Ethereum-based rewards token that is integral to the Brave web browser.
If you don't know Brave, you should.
Brave is a privacy-focused web browser that blocks YouTube ads and other third-party ads by default.
It also rewards users with Bat, like I mentioned earlier, for opting in to viewing privacy-respecting ads
and allows them to support their favorite content creators or causes with easy Bat tips or donations.
And the Brave browser also comes preloaded with more privacy features like private search,
AI summarizer, AI assistant called Leo, he's very cool, private video conferencing, VPN, and a multi-chain crypto wallet.
And you can explore this full suite of features on Brave, either desktop or mobile.
You can download the desktop app at brave.com.
You can check out the features page, brave.com slash features.
You can download the Brave app on the iOS or Android stores.
It's available basically on all platforms.
And then if you want to learn more about Basic Attention Token, you can head on over to basicattentiontoken.org.
But after today's episode, of course.
So let's move on to intros.
Since I already have the mic, I'll just kick us off.
My name is Jenny.
I am your host today alongside the rest of my team, who you'll meet in just a moment.
But I've been immersed in the Bat and Brave community since late 2017, before the Bat Token even launched.
Been around for a little while.
Today, I focus on running our Bat Ambassadors volunteer program.
And I focus on building out partnerships that help drive bats growth and adoption.
And the last thing I'll mention before I hand off the microphone is that during this event, we welcome your input.
If you have any questions for Gaurav, please raise your hand and come on up to the stage.
And if you don't want to come on the mic, then you can type your question into the thread beneath this, you know, the thread on Twitter.
And we will read the question aloud for you.
Sorry about that.
I had a little brain fart.
But we're back.
All right.
So that's it for me.
I'll now hand it off to Drew for his introduction.
Hey, thanks.
So, yeah, I'm Drew.
I've been in the community here for, I guess, several years and working with Braid for a couple of years, a little over two years, I guess, now.
And I help run the BapGrade Discord, which is discord.ggslashbapgade, where you can actually also get the PO app for today's space there in the Discord.
Many thanks to Guilherme, who did the artwork on that.
And thank you, Guilherme, for being here.
I'm very interested to learn more about the LeapCosmos wallet as I've used it a little bit, but have more to learn and explore on there.
So definitely excited to have you here.
I'll turn it over to Bat-Earn, who can do his intro now.
Hello, I'm Bat-Earn.
I love Bat, and I love enabling people who love Bat to spread the word about it.
If you want to help out, come join the Bat Ambassador program, and I'll pass it over to Guilherme.
Hello, everyone.
My name is Guilherme, and I am the artist-slash-illustrator for Basic Denshin Token and Brave for both communities.
I don't think we have featured enough of Cosmos, and I don't know surely much about it.
So I'm very excited to be here today.
I'll pass it on to Paula.
Thanks, G. Hi, everyone.
I'm Paula.
I help with different Brave projects in LATAM and Spanish.
I host spaces with Producing LATAM and Talking About Brave and Bad with the Bad Ambassadors.
And if you miss our spaces, I make summaries in Notion, and you can find those in the Bat Brigade Discord on the AMA Calls Recap channel.
Beautiful.
Thank you, team.
That was wonderful.
And now, last but not least, we have our wonderful guest from Leap Cosmos, Gaurav.
So once again, Gaurav, welcome.
Why don't we kick off by having you tell us a little bit about yourself, your background, and your journey to Leap Cosmos and what you do there now.
Yeah, thanks.
Thanks for having me here.
So excited to be here and talk to Bat Community, honestly.
So quickly introducing myself.
I'm Gaurav.
Graduated in finance and accounting background.
I'm based out of India.
Got into Web3 cycle in like 2020 when DeFi summer was like doing great numbers and everyone was talking on DeFi and all DeFi protocols where they can put in their money and do crazy stuff.
Then loaded some wallets myself, read into everything where I find about Web3 in general, YouTube, Twitter, like doom scrolling, Twitter, and going down the rabbit hole.
And like pretty these days with everyone is going to do these days in like newcomer.
So, yeah.
And then I joined marketing team at Leap in 2023 last year where I scaled up and currently managing marketing partnerships and a few other things at Leap and been having an amazing time over there.
Oh, that's awesome.
Thank you so much for that background.
I love how almost everybody in Crypto and Web3 has a story that starts with, I was doom scrolling Twitter and then I fell down the rabbit hole.
It's very common.
Is there any other way really though?
But like it's always that precise wording.
I love it so much.
But anyway, that was wonderful.
Thank you for the background.
And so now you do marketing and partnerships at Leap Cosmos.
That's wonderful.
So that's great.
And you're loving it.
So I love to always love to hear that.
Right.
It's great when you're enjoying what you do.
So Gaurav, can you give us a brief overview of what Leap Cosmos is?
What is it all about?
And what is its primary mission for any users here or listeners who may not have any idea?
Yeah, sure.
I would like to start up with it.
So Leap is a non-custodial crypto wallet for Cosmos ecosystem.
Like where we currently support 70 plus Cosmos chains across all of our four wallet products which includes like browser extension, native iOS and Android apps and a web dashboard.
So more recently, we have been working on a suite of B2, B2C products, which are still like wallet offerings, but delivered to different, different partner front end like dApps or NFT websites and Cosmos ecosystem.
So naming a few, these start from like Metamask Snaps, Elements Onboarding SDK and an Embedded Wallet SDK that dApps and partners integrate into onto their front ends.
So in terms of like, what, how we aim to go ahead from here, like we want to become a super wallet for Cosmos acting as a one-stop gateway for all on-chain transactions and activity.
This means, what this means for a user is like, you can natively within your wallet, manage your portfolio, send tokens, stake, access DeFi opportunity, vote on the governance proposal, manage NFT and more.
So like, all these bitty wide, wide and diversified set of actions hold a good amount of value in Cosmos ecosystem, especially governance and privacy transfer.
So this, all these things are made possible with the base layer of experience we have built inside the app, plus dApp experience that we have natively integrated into our wallet inside.
So yeah.
That is awesome.
Oh, sorry.
Were you not done?
Go on.
Yeah.
So that, what's like, would like to put it a brief intro only.
Yeah.
That is all really, really cool.
So, wow, you mentioned that you're supported by over 70 Cosmos chains.
That's pretty crazy.
When I was reading about you all online, all the documentation, like the Notion, the website, and I think maybe even like the,
the Chrome store, like extension page is out of date because it says supported by over 50 Cosmos chains.
You guys got to update that.
This is even more.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Of course.
The thing is, like devs ship so fastly, like marketing, like sometimes we fall at track of how many chains we are like now integrating with.
Yeah.
I think just, yeah, in recent, there's been a lot of new chains over there too.
Yeah.
Hard to keep up.
Yeah.
Tracing your tail with, you know, keeping the documentation up to date in this way is a good problem to have, right?
So, something to celebrate.
So, that's great.
So, you're trying to create sort of a super wallet where users can do like all these awesome things straight from one interface.
So, you know, like natively manage their portfolio, manage their NFTs, manage governance proposals, et cetera, et cetera.
That's super cool.
How does Leap's user experience compare to that of other crypto wallets?
And specifically in terms of ease of use for newcomers, is there anything you guys are doing to, you know, help onboard more mainstream users or new users?
Yeah.
For sure.
Like glad that you brought this question.
So, first of all, it just works.
It just works.
Yeah.
So, it's so carefully crafted that like it's feel very intuitive and easy to use to new user.
And second point I would like to highlight here is like, it's completely mobile.
Like we are completely mobile focused.
Everything that you can do with Leap extension, you can also do it through our mobile apps.
So, there's no form factor restriction as such.
And like you have a permission like Dapp browser integrated inside the mobile app directly where you can just access any of the Cosmos apps directly from your mobile.
So, you don't need to just stick to your desktop and access that Dapp from desktop.
Like on mobile.
So, next comes up is in wallet staking where staking holds a good paramount value in like Cosmos ecosystem and where every Cosmonaut likes, heard about staking.
So, they like to stake their assets and contribute to network security and, yep.
Next is like NFT gallery where like NFT is definitely a community and culture thing.
So, everyone likes to get a, take a part in that.
So, we have in wallet NFT gallery with 7 plus chain integrated is for NFT gallery.
And the last cool part for mobile is like everything you have listened about above, you get notification for all of those on your mobile.
So, yeah, just I got one that someone, yeah, I transacted.
So, yeah, that's cool part of mobile.
That is awesome.
It sounds like it's super stacked.
And I love, you know, that you just summarized it with it just works.
Just try it out.
It just works.
I think that a couple of folks on the panel have questions.
I'm going to let Guilherme go and then Paula.
Yeah, I'm actually curious because I've been seeing that on the past months or so, or even probably a year, there's been an ongoing change for not staying on just one blockchain.
And I've been seeing that some blockchains are becoming more and more popular.
And Cosmos is one of those that have been growing with time.
So, I'm just wondering what made you go with Cosmos versus any other of the more popular existing chains like Solana, for example.
Yeah, indeed, that's a great question.
I would say like Cosmos, like Cosmos natively follows an app chain theory where every chain in itself is specialized for a custom use case.
Like, let's say if you talk about Cosmos, it's a completely DeFi oriented chain, whereas you talk about StarK, it's a NFT oriented chain where folks transact and buy, sell their NFTs.
So, yeah, overall it depends on a set of use cases.
Decently, you saw DYDX deploying on Cosmos where they were like more of a purse trading chain, which enables purse trading.
So, yeah, from that perspective and overall, like with Cosmos tech stack, IBC is pretty underrated tech stack.
Like, if you have asked this question last year, no one could have talked about IBC much.
But recently, over the last three to four months with new chains deploying on and great teams getting the attention of Cosmos.
So, now everyone is realizing that how easy it is to transfer the value across all app chains.
So, this is like key differentiator, but it makes Cosmos different from overall ecosystem.
Yeah, I'll hop in real quick.
So, my understanding kind of is, you know, Cosmos is more like a inner chain communicator, you know, kind of thing.
So, all these other chains can kind of build on the Cosmos and then a wallet like Leap Wallet would be able to support all these chains that are building on Cosmos versus, say, like, just building a wallet just for, say, Solana or just for Ethereum.
It's like all these chains building on this one platform, which is Cosmos, and then kind of utilizing the same FCK and that kind of stuff, which I'm no DAB and no expert on it.
But that's kind of my understanding as well, if that makes sense.
Right, Gaurav?
Yeah, I would pretty much agree with you.
And going down the line, like, what I can or we all can envision is all of these chains are going to unified and users won't care much which chain they are transacting on.
Like, you brought the point for Solana now.
Like, if you have heard about Picasso Network, but they are doing, like, they are integrating on their roadmaps.
Like, it's going to come soon.
They are going to have an IBC connection between Solana and Cosmos.
So, imagine just like you transacting your funds from Solana to Cosmos.
That would be pretty amazing.
Yeah, and I think, I mean, eventually everything's going to be kind of, you know, inter-chain or multi-chain.
And Cosmos is kind of just one of those facilitators for communicating between the different chains, I believe.
So, it'll be interesting to see how it all goes for sure.
Awesome, Paola, did you want to hop in with your question?
Yes, please.
So, I was looking at your website and I found elements, which says that it's a front-end SDK to one-click the inter-chain.
So, can you explain what that means and how does that work in Leap, please?
Oh, Gaurav, you're on mute.
Yeah, yeah, sorry.
Yeah, so, yeah, you got it right.
So, elements is an SDK, front-end SDK, where this, we can quickly, like, get it explained in three parts,
where, like, this can be integrated with a front-end DApps, where we have a customized, like, set of solutions.
And, they can just take the SDK and integrate on their front-end.
But, this elements SDK does it, it has Cosmos IBC swaps on ramping solution, cross-chain bridging,
and, noble USDC, USDC, integrated over it.
So, this makes pretty much easy for any DApp to get basic actions made easy for end-user.
So, user, like, DApps don't have to solve the same problem again and again.
It just makes them completely easy and focus on the core problem-solving and cater to users.
That's awesome.
Thank you so much for your answer.
Hey, Adam, did you have a question?
Yeah, okay, so, we've been in the weeds of all the technical stuff, you know,
and I just wondered, why Leap and why the Frog?
Which came first, the name Leap or did the Frog come first?
Oh, yeah, tell me about that.
Yeah, so, Leap came first because we have been building another ecosystem, like, as well, lately.
But, it was a more, with name Frog, we can make it more user-friendly and approachable to users.
So, yeah, it helps us do some fun stuff over Twitter.
Like, if you will go through our socials, you will, like, love the vibe.
I hope you will love, yeah.
Yeah, it does seem like the little leapfrog makes the project, which, you know, is otherwise deeply technical,
seem a little bit more approachable and fun for, you know, maybe just the casual user.
So, I think it's really smart to have, like, a cute mascot.
We're seeing many projects in Web3 take on this approach, and it seems to work really well.
Actually, I want to switch gears for a second, though.
I have a question about, you know, we are brave.
So, I've got a mandatory, mandatory question here.
So, Leap seems to place considerable emphasis on user safety and transparency and trust.
Can you share some more about, you know, the auditing process and the open source aspects of Leap?
For sure, for sure.
As wallet builders, security is no doubt one of the most important considerations at Leap.
Like, any new change, like, any new shipping or builds go out, that tests our key management,
goes through a regress review process before it gets deployed for end user or for public use.
So, two quick points that I would like to highlight here are, like, number one, Leap is open source.
Anyone can look at our code and understand how our wallet works and confirm by themselves that our wallet is completely safe to use.
So, they don't have to worry, like, yeah.
So, second point is, we haven't completely completed our security audit by Halban and CSV,
which are two of the best security firms out there in Web3 ecosystem.
We have also published all public reports on our website.
We have learned a lot of best practices from the security that we have adopted and ingrained into our products.
And we are always on our toes to keep the best security practices implemented for users.
That's excellent news.
Thank you for sharing that.
I think Drew had a question.
I'll let him chime in.
Yeah, yeah.
So, I've, you know, I do like the Cosmos and I've been in there for a little while.
And I kind of got started with, I think, Cosmos Station wallet and Kepler, but mainly on my mobile use Kepler.
But I've been kind of, you know, playing with the Leap wallet.
Still trying to, you know, get used to switching and stuff.
It's not as easy as you, I think, even though, you know, I do like the Leap wallet.
But, so what, I guess, you know, why would you say somebody would use a Leap over, you know, one of those other, you know, Cosmos wallets outside of just, you know.
Although, I guess one thing I do like about it is the NFTs that are in there.
But what other, is there any other real, like, reasons to use it over the other wallets?
Yep.
So, yeah, quickly would like to share upon that too.
So, first of all, we are completely hands down on mobile.
As, like, we earlier also discussed that we have a complete suite of features specially built for mobile native user.
Given, like, few of, quite of ecosystem and new users are just using mobile.
So, it's definitely, we are mobile pro.
Special features that I would like to call out here is, like, in wallet staking, NFT gallery, swaps.
And, with permissionless DAB browser, you can just access any of the DAB on your mobile.
So, yeah, it's completely, like, mobile focused.
And, with all the native chain integration, we have now close to 70 plus chains.
And, yeah, a complete uniform experience for all of our users.
Nice.
Yeah.
And, I know you kind of mentioned a lot of it before, too.
So, yeah, I think I was just looking at it here, too, while we were talking.
And, I just noticed the airdrop checker that is, you know, kind of pops up there.
That's kind of a cool feature, especially since kind of airdrops are a hot topic right now.
I know one of the big ones that's coming out, the DYM dimension, which is on Cosmos, right?
So, that's a pretty cool feature.
You should mention that.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's...
Yeah, yeah.
So, just to bring on that, too, like, we are going to soon have airdrops, some feature,
like, it's exclusive alpha, but, yeah, it's totally worth it disclosing it.
Like, we are soon going to have, like, airdrop checker built natively for mobile users as well.
Like, you can now access it using a DAB browser, too.
But, soon we are going to, like, if you are eligible for, let's say, any of the Prism airdrop, which is out, officially announced there,
or any of the Cosmos ecosystem upcoming out there, so you will definitely going to have a banner out there inside the mobile app and a mobile notification just informing you, hey, you are, like, eligible for Prism airdrop or, let's say, any of the Cosmos ecosystem airdrop.
So, that actually is pretty awesome.
Like, you know, back when I was getting kind of more into crypto and, like, getting on wallets and stuff like that, like, one of the reasons I liked Atom, which is a Cosmos token, right, is, like, you could earn yield on, like, Coinbase and stuff.
And I was like, oh, okay, cool.
I can get, like, 5%.
That's great.
But then, you know, I do some reading.
It was like, oh, if you, you know, send it over to a wallet and actually stake it, you can get, like, 10%.
So, oh, even better.
And then I ended up, you know, getting a bunch of airdrops in the Cosmos ecosystem.
Some of them, you know, worth a decent chunk of change.
Of course, that was, you know, back when things were crazy, bull run, stop, and it's, you know, kind of changed over the years, but last couple of years anyways.
But, no, I think it's hard to keep up with it all, especially now when there's so many different things going on.
That's actually a quite nice feature if you can just kind of check in your wallet.
All right, what am I eligible for?
Don't claim it and that kind of thing.
So, props to you guys for doing that.
No, that's awesome, actually.
I was kind of, like, half messing around, but, like, that's actually a legit nice feature.
Yeah, yeah, like, it's, you can think of, we have just built for audience like you who are, like, have some funds and don't want to mess up, mess up around with each and individual website.
So, and, of course, don't stay away from those PC links, given markets are rising, so scammers are back.
So, it helps to safely check all of your airdrops, eligible airdrops at one place, and without worry, you can see if you are eligible or not.
Yep.
Awesome.
I guess, actually, while we're on the topic of airdrops on the Cosmos ecosystem, I think you mentioned Prism was one that just was announced or whatever is there.
Any other alpha you can give us or what, you know, we should maybe do just briefly.
I don't want to spend a whole lot of time on it, but what we can do or users can do to kind of maybe get some of the upcoming airdrops or is that all?
Just go check the app and you can find it there.
Yeah, so we do have an airdrop tracker section as well, like, where we track all the airdrops across Cosmos ecosystem, like, which ones are announced, which ones are in claimable stage, and which ones are in speculator stage.
So, that's a pretty interesting, like, stage to be in, like, project hasn't confirmed yet, but users can still keep their eye on and explore the ecosystem, explore the dApp to, if they may get eligible sometime down the line.
Okay. So, and actually one of the questions that Moonbeamer had, unfortunately wasn't able to come up and speak and ask, was about, you know, like, upcoming airdrops for Americans.
I know that's probably out of your hands as far as, you know, the restrictions because of the regulatory climate here in America.
Like, a lot of times, you know, we're not able to claim airdrops and things like that.
Do you know, like, if that's, you know, going to just be an ongoing thing or something that, you know, we'll be able to get or just have to deal with as Americans until our legislatures can figure it out?
Yep, yep, yeah.
Yeah, this has been quite of a problem for American users, but given this stays mostly in projects and dApps end of the spectrum, so this is, like, what we can't have any control over as of now.
Yeah, I figured as much. And is that something that you guys do as a wallet or is that the dApp themselves that, you know, control that?
So, yeah, this is completely controlled from dApps or projects end only. So, we don't have any of the direct involvement over that.
We just get some basic tech data from partner like dApp or project that helps us to collate the information whether a user is eligible or not.
So, yeah, it's directly tech to tech. We don't directly control.
Yeah, okay. You're just, you're just, you know, running the dApp on the wallet and they're the ones actually messing with that.
Okay, cool. Good to know, man. I appreciate that.
Ham, did you want to hop in with another one?
Oh, I think I might leap in, yeah.
Well, first thing I was going to say is if you're having problems with airdrops and being American, there is this thing called Brave VPN.
But to go back to my actual question, it was, especially focused on like not getting rubbed and security and scams and all that.
Do you have hardware wallet support with leap?
Yeah, yeah, indeed. Like we do have ledger support and extension out and on mobile. Yep. It's out for almost all of the chains. Just for a few EVM chains like Injective, Amos and few other of them. It's just like a week or two away. Like dev work is ongoing like as we speak. And yep.
That's good to hear. It's so handy having a hardware wallet where nothing can happen unless you click the button.
Sorry, can you come again, please?
It's handy to have hardware wallets. It means that you can't get rugged unless you click the button yourself. You know, it just says.
Yeah, indeed. Like having a one is definitely a good spot to win.
I have a couple more questions if, if my team has run out for now.
So Gaurav, what are some, maybe you can speak about some of the advantages that leap offers to developers who are building on the cosmos blockchain and maybe if there are any specific tools or services that leap provides for developers, what are they? What do they do?
What's special about them?
Yeah.
Yeah, indeed. Like just to cater easy developer experience inside cosmos. Like what one of us asked here is elements. So what elements does is like is it gives an easy and quite like native experience for developers. They don't have to break their heads solving around UX problem.
So in general, we do think UX is still a biggest challenge in cosmos ecosystem.
Like with rising web3 adoption, like with rising web3 adoption, mobile support and simplicity, simplicity, accessibility. These like, these are the still basic challenges which dApps face.
Like just as a reference point, like just as a reference point, compare your best in class crypto product to a typical web2 product. And you will see a way, like we are way to go.
So just to cater that you can get elements SDK integrated on a dApps frontend and get the basic done right for end user. And rest of the dApp bandwidth can still be contributed from dApps end to solving core problems.
That's awesome. That's great. Yeah. Okay. So more of that elements SDK that you mentioned earlier that gives devs, you know, an easy and native experience. That's, that's great. And I would agree that we do still have a way to go.
And this is, you know, across the web3 ecosystem, more broadly, beyond just the cosmos ecosystem. But yeah, UX is definitely still one of the bigger pain points and issues. And I look forward to the day that, you know, we can navigate dApps the same way that we navigate apps and, you know, just the web generally.
I think we'll get there. We'll get there. It's gonna take some time. This stuff is all still new. But that's awesome. Thank you for the answer. And what are some of the most exciting dApps and projects that have integrated or products that have integrated with Leap? And how do you feel they contribute to the overall ecosystem?
Yeah, indeed, like every dApp and every, every, every chain project, and every inter, of our inter chain friend, is definitely a big, big contributor to Cosmos.
But just to get some ground running for new users who are coming to Cosmos ecosystem. So yeah, they can get started by funding their, like adding some assets to, of course, Leap, Leap wallet and getting started with Cosmos zone, where they can swap assets, add liquidity to pools.
Cosmos. And if you are like, like a bad, bad kid, then like want to be a bad kid, then you can go to Stargate, buy some cool NFTs.
And if you want to like, trying to open pubs and go some really decent way, so you can head on like Levana.
And yeah, lately, like, more and more chains, like Injective have been making good noise, and you must have heard about ninjas. So it's completely undeniable that ninjas have been taking over. So we can definitely explore dApps like Helix, Talis, Marketplace.
Yeah, it's, oh, go ahead, Julie.
Oh, no, I was just gonna say we're familiar with the ninjas and with Injective. We actually spoke to them the other day. We had them on spaces. They rock. Go ahead, Drew.
Yeah, I was just gonna say the same thing.
Yeah, we had them on Wednesday, thanks to Bows. And then we get you guys another Cosmos ecosystem project. So it's kind of worked out this week, going on the Cosmos.
But so, you know, when I first started using the Leap wallet, I went in and you have the kind of browser there and search or whatever. And I, you know, asked my buddy who I know talks to your team, I don't know if you know Trendy yourself, but Trendy is one of my friends from another project and from just different things.
But, you know, I was wondering, you know, I know you're the marketing guy, but how do we get, you know, Brave search on that browser so that we can utilize Brave over there in the Cosmos?
Yeah, that's pretty interesting and yeah. But yeah, don't have much context on tech integration part of that. But yeah, we would love to chat it over and hit me up anytime. We'll get a chat running with our devs and we can take it forward.
Sounds good. You know, it just kills me when all these Web3, you know, dApps and stuff, we use, you know, like, you know, big tech stuff that's tracking you and everything.
So, but, and actually along those lines, like I said, I've been a fan of Cosmos and I'd love to kind of get our token, the BAT, you know, token over there.
And I don't know if you know too much about it, but I guess we can bridge it over and then kind of participate in the DeFi and stuff like that.
Does that sound right to you or do you know much about that?
Yeah, indeed, like, I'm a brave user. So, don't, don't need to fill in context for all that. Like, I'm a pretty loyal, brave user from now, three to four years now.
So, yeah, talking about BAT token, like, as far as I know, don't have any DeFi opportunity as such in Cosmos ecosystem especially.
But given you guys are doing some great job and covering the ground running for BAT, I would definitely love to see.
And I can envision, like, next two to three months down the line, we can have definitely osmosis pools for BAT and swaps on osmosis.
Yeah, exactly. That's kind of what I'm kind of thinking and envisioning too. I think it'd be, you know, a great opportunity for, you know, people to utilize their, you know, BAT tokens, especially on the Cosmos.
That's really kind of a great, you know, way to utilize DeFi and things like that.
So, yeah, I would definitely love to do something like that and we'll have to chat and see if we can make something happen.
Yeah, I'm also a big fan of Stargaze. We've had Stargaze on our space here before and Bad Kids and I'm big into NFTs and things like that.
So, yeah, it's a great, you know, community over there and I think it would be awesome to just, you know, be able to do more in different places as, you know, BAT is meant to be multi-chain and is on several other chains at this point.
But it never hurts to grow even further and do more with it.
So, hopefully soon in the future we'll be able to make that happen, bro.
Yeah, so we talked a little bit, Gaurav, earlier about the Injective Ninjas.
But how does Leap engage with this community? Do you guys have an ambassador's program or, you know, just generally with the broader community?
What are some of the ways that you all engage?
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
So, Injective Ninjas has been so loving that we have been getting constant and love and support from Injective community.
So, Ninjas play a crucial role with us, like, we are now, Injective will be in top, one of the top chains with us, like, where we have all suite of features supported within wallet for Ninjas,
be it NFT gallery, NFT gallery, in wallet staking, permission at DAP access, like, starting from Helix, Mito, Hydro, and Talis protocol, and few others lined up, like, Tagora, NFT marketplace.
So, yeah, this is in terms of product coverage, in terms of marketing, yeah, you can pretty much scroll and get to know about Injective and how we love to get some tweets posted on, like,
I think the way Injective NFTs are so cool, who will be displayed in NFT gallery, it's just, that's the constant love from Ninjas.
Love that so much.
And, you sure...
Can I ask something real quick?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sorry to interrupt.
But, yeah, that's awesome that they've been so supportive of you and have been doing so well.
It's, yeah, awesome to see, you know, these new chains really kind of popping off, and NFTs in general.
So, basically, just to make sure I understand, like, I'd be able to see my Injective NFTs, my, say, Stargaze NFTs, my, actually, just got my first SEI, say, NFT.
Is that on the Cosmos, too?
But, basically, the other ones, I would all be able to see all of those on the LeapCosmos wallet, right?
Yeah.
So, yeah, indeed, like, we do have an NFT gallery support across form factors, starting from Injective, Archway, Stargaze, or pretty much every chain, which have NFT capability, we do have in-wallet support.
Awesome.
Yeah, I just wanted to make sure that was what I understood right.
Cool.
That's pretty cool.
I have another one.
I was wondering about partnerships or collaborations that Leap has established and how they've enhanced the project.
Are there any that you can discuss?
Yeah, so, in terms of partnerships and collaborating with projects, we would, we love to have partnerships and make more inter-chain friends, like, across the ecosystem.
The way we go through it, like, we would, we love to start with mutual chain integration or, let's say, DAP integration, then get some, get to educate about community by sharing helpful educational blog posts, guides, and detailed walkthroughs.
So, yeah, this is more on, like, our partnership, but you can definitely explore more using Leap website, our social, and love to, more about our inter-chain friends.
What, did you, did you, did you say, were you mentioning Atlas, is that what you heard?
No, I meant inter-chain friends, it's, like, this is a sweet pronunciation or sweet slang we call with our Web3 Cosmos partners.
Hmm, okay.
Got it.
All right, I'm just going to hop in a second here.
Yeah, so, people who, like, like, are called Bat Brigade, and we've got, like, the Link Marines, we've got the Injective Ninjas, what's the, the Leap community called?
Sorry, can you come again?
What's the, the Leap community called? Like, you know, like, we've got the Bat Brigade, the Link Marines, and the Injective Ninjas, but what, what's the Leap community called?
Yeah, we use, we call them a Froge, Froge, Froge Gang.
Froge Gang.
Gang, gang.
But yeah, you can call it Froge as well, yeah, Froge and Froge friend.
So, that's very cute.
Gaurav, we have a couple minutes left here, and we still have a couple more questions to handle, or to, to, to push through if you're down.
So, what are some of the, like, biggest challenges or trials that Leap has faced, either, you know, during its development or scaling?
Yeah, what are some, like, of the adversities that Leap has faced, and how have you overcome them?
Yeah, so, key problem, like, we earlier phased on, and, like, it's a still, a bit of a, I would say, more of a UX problem.
Like, user don't, don't have much context on, sometimes on IBC and basic stuff, which, which require a Cosmonauts to have, start with.
Like, how we started with, like, for, to make an IBC transfer earlier, you, you need to deal with channel, channel IDs and all that sort of stuff.
But, with Leap, you, no more need, get into hassles of channel ID, and you can just do one-click IBC transfers.
So, this is, like, basic fundamental problem we kick-started with.
And, going down the line, we are, like, also bringing, bringing up some cool set of features, which will help the users to stay in the loop, starting with.
NFT notifications, where they can know about new collection launches, one-click IBC swaps, inside the wallet.
So, yeah.
Yeah, that's all great.
And, actually, I just wanted to call out, like, while we're on this topic that I was looking at, some of your documentation, like, support documentation, and, like, dev docs, and all that stuff that is linked through your website.
So, like, you know, FAQs for users, but also for developers.
And, you have, like, an insane portal on Notion.
And, I think you have, like, another section for docs for developers.
And, like, it's just super, super extensive.
And, I think, you know, you guys do a really good job, it seems like, of, you know, anticipating problems or pain points that users or developers might face.
Either with, like, you know, lack of baseline knowledge with using Web3 products or, like, specific issues related to Leap.
And, do a great job at addressing all of that in the documentation and also, like, organizing the documentation in a very easy-to-navigate fashion.
I just want to call it out because I thought it looked so good.
Yeah, I was going to say, I mean, I guess maybe, yeah, one of the biggest problems is that, you know, user experience, user interface, especially when it comes to crypto and making it simple as possible.
But, yeah, you've got these complex things.
So, that's always a challenge and good, you know, user interface is kind of hard to come by.
So, good job on that.
And, making it easy when it's, you know, not always easy is a bigger challenge, I think, than people realize.
Yeah, I think that, especially when you have things that maybe other chains don't have, like you said, inner chain or the, you know, like these chains or tokens on each of these different chains and things like that.
So, making it simple is necessary.
And I can't wait until we get to a point in the crypto space where everything's nice and easy and straightforward and not where anybody can use it, like your grandma or whatever.
I also want to give a little quick shout-out to Dizzle and Lowo88, those stars.
I know I've seen those guys around in some of the Stargaze and stuff communities and whatnot.
So, I appreciate you guys being here as well as, you know, everybody else, of course, but our back community as well.
But I just saw those guys and wanted to say, hey.
Yeah, thanks for shouting them out.
Welcome, guys.
So, yeah, we're coming up on time.
And I know that you already shared some exclusive alpha with us earlier, Gaurav.
But is there anything else that you want to share in terms of, like, upcoming plans or features that users or devs could look forward to?
Yeah, so, overall, in general, I would like to share a few more on our product roadmap ahead.
Like, we have integrated a social login.
So, it's just, like, logging in with your email on Leapboard.
So, we do have similar stuff lined up with other partners as well.
So, beyond this, like, adding smart contract wallet capability and how cool it will be, like, to see chat and social layer integrated directly into your wallet, like, browsing social feed directly from your wallet for your favorite projects.
So, yeah, we won't disclose much.
Yeah, so, this is a more exclusive alpha for bad community.
Oh, my God.
Thank you for sharing that.
That's awesome.
It sounds really exciting.
Easy email login, chat and social layer integrated right into the Brave Wallet.
Sorry.
The Leap Wallet.
Goodness, I'm getting here.
No, but that sounds really cool.
So, I'm looking forward to all these developments and when they're ready to launch, you are welcome to come back anytime and share about them with our community and, you know, discuss anything new that you guys have going on.
This has been a really interesting and informative conversation.
Thank you so much for being here with us today, Gaurav.
Yeah, thanks.
Thanks for having me here.
So, my last piece of message would be, and try out Cosmos.
It's amazing.
There's so much happening.
Like, you just can't switch off and even on weekends, there would happen so much.
So, you are definitely going to love it.
And Leap has made it crazy simple even for you to get started and become a Cosmos pro these days.
So, just go over it and if you haven't installed it yet, so just install Leap, create a wallet and get started.
And help us spread the word.
Thanks.
Yeah, leap into the Cosmos, everybody.
And what's your Discord link for anyone who wants to follow you there, join the community?
Yeah, so you can quickly get it on our website, leapwallet.io.
I can spell it out as well.
Like, leapwallet.io.
You can find it over there.
So, yeah, we'd love to see some of Pat members joining in for a gang.
Heck, yeah.
And we'll have to catch up separately, too, to see, you know, how we might be able to collaborate, Brave and Leap.
It sounds like there could be some interesting opportunities there.
So, we'll have to follow up.
But, yeah.
So, thank you again for being with us.
This was really fun.
Like I said, very informative.
And thank you to everybody in the audience who listened in and everybody who will be listening to the recording later.
We love you all.
We're so grateful.
And we'll definitely be speaking to Leap Cosmos.
Again, this will not be our last conversation.
So, thank you, Gaurav.
You were awesome.
Everybody throw down some emoji reacts to thank our lovely guests and our panel of hosts.
Thank you, everyone.
I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend.
And remember, it's all Bravey Baby.
Take care, everyone.
Bye-bye.
Thank you so much.
