Gmgm everybody welcome to base builders number two
The space that we just started doing last week actually to talk with builders who are building cool things on base
We've got apex triple-seven here who is the builder behind on chain dinos?
Fork of tiny dinos on base my host Carlos trying to get him up on stage here, but in the meantime
Please reshow the room you can do that with the little button at the bottom, right?
It might be purple might be white let people know that we're talking about base builders in here
They may want to come and chat about it as well
If you'd like to come up on stage if you have any questions comments thoughts about anything happening in the base builders
Ecosystem just request. It's a safe space anyone can come up while we're waiting for Carlos to get connected here by the way Carlos
I did send you an invite. There you go
Carlos's is there apex? Can we do a quick mic check? Are you there? Yeah. Yeah here. Can you hear me? Okay?
We can hear you great. Thank you
GFG and can you hear me GM GM productivity to the max?
My screen still says I'm a listener, but I'm glad you can hear me. Yeah, we can hear you. We can hear you fine
Yeah, that's just because you're a listener as a person. You know, you're a great friend
If anyone ever needs to you know, just vent Carlos is the guy so that's my my wife would disagree with that
Mine too as well. Yeah, mine's mine says same, but me no good listener either
No mine says I'm a good listener. She says I'm always very selective with my listening. That means I'm a good listener, right?
Yeah. Yeah, that's what I thought too
Brett we have you as well. Brett. Are you a good listener by all accounts?
Spin up this series starting last week. We had a great chat last week about some bass builders Carlos
Do you want to take folks through what we're trying to do on this space?
Yes, absolutely. Thank you so much
So Todi hit me up with this idea and I fell in love with it right away because through the bass ecosystem
It's just so lively. There's so many great
things being built on the on on bass and
bass on chain summer pretty much kicked off the bull run in my view
This is when I started noticing people were getting really excited about doing things on chain
Daily and so many things started popping up and we thought you know, just to focus on the bass ecosystem would be would be great
Because bass is doing just a fantastic job at empowering the builders in the ecosystem
So we thought it's a no-brainer to try to get more aligned with the bass ecosystem and try to create value as well
Exactly, and I couldn't agree more than that
We've actually launched a little project on bass recently called the yellow collective
You might have seen a little bit of stuff about that from TNS and by a little bit
I mean like a constant barrage of tweets for two weeks straight
But we were super thankful for all the support that we got from from Jesse down there
I see in the crowd. Hey Jesse and the rest of the bass crew
So yeah, definitely wanted to help spotlight some of the other people who are building in this eco
So Carlos reached out to apex who also I think jumped on last week with us to chat it up a little bit
And we'd love to just hear about your journey as a builder and what brought you to the point where you decide to launch
Fork of tiny dinos over on the bay. Yeah. Yeah, perfect. Yeah, listen first of all, thanks for having me up here
I'm really big privileged to come on to this this space and talk to you guys and to rattle your ears for a while about
My journey as a builder. But yeah, I suppose I got into crypto like about 2016 and
Mining it basically I had a gaming PC wanted to see why GPUs are so expensive one thing that to another I got sucked into
the Ethereum ecosystem and
From then just really fell over to the ballroom 2017 kept me around and I stuck around through d5 somewhere and stuff like that
But then started to which by the way, if you were if you were a gamer and then you went to the mining side
That's like oh you completely yeah
Like I went I went from like having
One GPU to having like six GPUs and like the space of like three months and like I had a couple of friends who are stuck
For GPUs and they're like, oh, I just want a game. I'm like, you know, I can't I can't any I need to mind
these magic internet coins and so
started tinkering with stuff like started doing stuff from test nets and like I think
2021 I think just really nothing really that like was
worthy of deploying on a mainnet like and
built on a couple other L2 is like polygon and arbitrum and
a couple of couple of small projects there and then really kicked off on base in
started tinkering with base a good bit and
We had it did some cool on chain punks that did pretty well and then that led me to
kind of what to do next really and then I started looking at and
The tiny dino so I've been a holder then for like I think not I didn't mint initially
But I've been holder for a very long time and really loved the art love the tiny dino community
Love the way like it's obviously CCO earth so you can do what you want with it. People make their own
Versions with tiny dinos they stick them in different places. They're stickers. You can tweak them whatever way you want
Like it's really really cool. So like have a look at what? Yeah
One thing I've always loved about the tiny dinos is just you know
You don't really appreciate how difficult it is to be creative within constraints. And if you've ever tried to do pickle
Even even at a 32 by 32 here like nouns. It's not easy
And then when you get down to like 8 by 8 which is I think what tiny dinos are at
It's next to impossible to make anything recognizable
And so I think that was one of the the key things about dinos
And then the other thing that I wanted to mention too, is that you know tiny dinos were omni chain
so they were kind of way ahead of the wave when it came to L twos and and
Experimenting with different chains and so in a way, it's kind of interesting that you're almost
Exactly. Yeah chain extending the omni chainness of
Yeah, so for anyone doesn't know like tiny dinos original collection was I think the second omni chain collection ever
So you could basically mint your tiny dino on a bunch of different chains
So like the big ones back then in 2021 more like BSC. I think they're on optimism arbitrary polygon
Avalanche so the kind of chains that were popular at the EVM base chains are a popular back then
And you could basically bridge your dino across using layer zero this protocol
They also look really cool concept
But then obviously they weren't on base when they minted because base wasn't around so as someone who loves the art and obviously it's CCO
So, you know you you're free to do what you want with it
I thought it was it'd be a good cool project to bring to base
but I didn't want to just go and plonk that you know, the JPEGs on to some IPFS server and
There you go. There's your dinos
I wanted to do something a little bit different because I feel like I like I have no problem with derivative collections
I know the tiny dino guys don't either but I feel like you should at least build on top of it somehow
So what I did for anyone who wasn't aware was I basically brought the tiny dinos on chain and
How how I did this or what I did was I?
Tweaked the art slightly. So not too crazy like the noun got noun goggles or changed to blue
Got rid of some of the traits that I felt clashed a bit with other traits
and I'll explain why it before it or in and then obviously changed the background to blue to match the base team and then
What I did was brought this
Brought these layers on chain. So time dinos are pretty cool
They host and you're allowed to download the layer files. They have them all up there
I think they have 96 in total. I got down to 71 different layers and assets
So if you're a lot of you will be familiar with NFTs
But what it is is basically a bunch of folders with ping files in it
Body feet legs head spikes and so on and so on and inside there might be you know between four to twelve different types
To have I lost anyone. I'm still there. Yeah
What to bring these on chain you can't just stick?
PNGs onto the onto the blockchain blockchain space isn't large enough for
Even on base a really good low low fee l2. It's not really something you can do
So what I had to do was convert all
71 of the assets from PNG to what you call SVG. So SVG is like essentially an image that's written in code and
So what I did was change every asset to SVG and then long story short convert those
SVG images to like what you call a byte array in Solidity and this allowed me to store it
hard coded within a within a Solidity contract and
It was pretty cool pretty cool experience
It was like definitely a learning curve a lot of tweaking to get it to work
And and then what kind of made our dinos a bit different as well. So because I had these 71
Prey files we could have a combination of up to six million dinosaurs that could be unique. I suppose and
So we I kept it at 2000 was the initial supply and what I did was instead of deciding
You know, generally what people do in the NFT collection is they'll decide
Beforehand, what are the NFTs are gonna come out?
So token one will look like this token 10 will look like this and so on and so on so on to do something a bit
My Solidity code essentially at at the time of mint and grab a random number from the blockchain
You use that random number for the blockchain and then randomly pick your traits that you get so every dino that was minted is
Completely random. I don't know what it's gonna be. You don't know what it's gonna be. Nobody knows what it's gonna be
It's just it's just determined at the time of minting completely randomly. So I had to do a couple of tweaks
Around this to make sure that we didn't get
We had some sort of rarity across the dinos
So some of the popular traits are like, you know
Rainbow spikes or rainbow body and you've got like laser eyes and stuff like this. So if you get skateboard hoverboard
Yeah, all the all and I'll probably use the feet as the example because it's the easiest one
So for the feet, we've got four different types of feet. We've got hoverboard skateboard
no feet and booster boots, I think they are and
Out of though out of those four if I didn't have some sort of logic that will stop
It's something to help determine what gets picked. We would end up at 2,000 roughly speaking 500 of each
So this wouldn't really make any trait
Quite unique. So what I did was built in solidity
And it's kind of I kind of coined a kind of not pointed but it's kind of like a trait weighting system
What I did was built a scale and assigned like a percentage value
So like having no feet was a 75% chance to get 75% chance getting picked
Having a skateboard was 8% having a hoverboard was you know, 6% and so on and so on so this kind of gave us then
Some uniqueness in the collection in terms of like sorry not unique is the wrong word some I suppose rare
It's like an emergent. It's like an emergent. Yes. Yes, exactly. So some sort of rarity we follow
I wanted it to be random by the term randomly minted, but I also wanted to have
You know the collection wouldn't be great if we had
10% or rainbows 10% for blue 10%
You know you wouldn't have like, you know
The kind of cool sniping we see like people trying to get rainbows people kind of get different traits and so on and so on
So that was that was pretty I very kind of pretty proud of that part of it
Like that was pretty cool to see that work. And so another interesting thing
I suppose I came across with is that I mentioned we have six million
Combinations of dinosaurs that we could have had and we only meant to 2,000
so for anyone who doesn't know and
You would think that the chance to get a duplicate will be extremely extremely rare
But there's this really really cool thing called the birthday paradox. I don't know if anyone's familiar with it
Love I fucking love ya. It's crazy
I didn't I didn't know about this right and then I was I was doing some tests on testnet and I was only doing like
I think maybe a thousand diners at a time and I kept getting duplicates and I was like, why am I getting duplicates?
Like how am I getting duplicates from one thousand?
Mints and I have you know, six million combinations
So the birthday paradox essentially says that you could have 21 people in a room and there's 51 percent chance
That there that two people have the same birthday. So it's I guess 23 20 23. Yes, sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy
It's always best if you want to tell someone about the birthday paradox to let them yeah, cuz they'll never get yeah
They'll never get it. Like I remember like oh, if you're in a room with 23 people
What's the chances that you have the same birthday is one of those that are people they'll never say no
No, no, not a hopeless and that's what I thought was very cool about it
Like I was like so I kept getting these duplicates and I started wondering why why and then I went down the path of talking to
Chat GBT for about an hour being like why am I getting these duplicates like what's going on?
And then it was like have you heard of the birthday paradox? I was like, no, no
Like yeah, I was like no tell me more and I was like and I was telling it like this is what I have
This is how many things why am I getting these, you know, and then it kind of broke it down for me
I'm told me why I'm getting it. So I think we had a I think it was an 81% chance of getting at least one duplicate
We ended up with I think there's three sets of two duplicates if that makes sense. Um,
Sticks dinos that have not the same image. Sorry
Just there's I always try to explain this on spaces three or four times and I failed miserably every single time
There's three sets of two dinos that are the same if that makes sense
Right. So they're kind of like they're like twins. Yeah, exactly. You're right
so then I didn't so what what that can cause then is kind of like a bit of a mess when it comes to
OpenSea because OpenSea instead of saying
9 9 9 4 1 9 9 4 dinos and 6 sorry our unique six at the same open the topic election
I didn't want that because it looked it looked pretty crap
So what so what I then then did to fix this issue was I came up with the an additional trait called dino eggs
So every again at run time using the block time
sorry the block timestamp this time we get a random number between 1 and 9 9 9 and
Every dino is then given a random number of eggs that they have and so it's cool kind of a little learn
we were building on at the moment and
Luckily, this is an invisible trait or it's visible. No, it's visible and open see it's under staff
A lot of people a lot of people kind of like glance at it and don't really see they've kind of just look at you
Know your typical trait represented
So if you go there and then you've got your trait and then on the right you've got to start if you open that you'll
See dino eggs. So I'm looking at one at the moment has 783 eggs out of 9 9 9 eggs
So luckily out of duplicates none of them have the same index so every dino has ended up in
Unique and their metadata does not match
You know a poker player once told me that you
Probability doesn't care about time
I think it's the way he put it and it's just like
That's why humans have such a weird have a problem with with some of these weird oddities of odds is because we see
You know, we see two dinos come up and you know, the quick test, you know
Like how can I possibly be but you know that it was always gonna happen whether it was on the first ten of the first million
It's just a matter of when they yeah
Yeah, like it was it was definitely something I learned definitely something that was really interesting to see and I suppose the reason why if
Anyone's wondering why so you think that you just have let's go back to the birthday 23 people in a room
The reason is and maybe you'll explain it better than me
But I'll give it a shot is that you aren't just comparing one person to one person
You're comparing one person to 22 orders and then continuing that process for the next person next person
so I think it's like, you know, 22 by
23 by 20 or whatever it is and you end up with quite a large number of iterations of possible birthdays that could be the same
Exactly. Yeah, I couldn't couldn't have explained it better. That's exactly it
and actually just as a little bit of side context to we've been thinking a lot about this at the Yellow Collective to because
unique things about the Yellow Collective is the fork of nouns is that we replaced the art so we don't have the heads from the
original nouns collection all of our heads are drawn by our community
But it's meant to be an emergent collection or evolving collection over time
So we started with 55 heads that were submitted by our community and then it'll be
Progressively grown from there through contests throughout the year, but that means that our original sort of inaugural
Heads are only 55 and so we've already started to see some not twins
But some repeats of the of the heads to the point where in the first week we were like pulling out our hair being
Oh my god, did something go wrong with the deployment because one of the heads one of the heads ship in a bottle came up
three times three times in the first ten tokens and you're like, yeah, yeah, how does this happen with 55 heads, but
Yeah, so just just just to say that we feel your pain or and it's even even magnified with so so many fewer
Train. Yeah. Yeah. No, it is. It's it's um, it can definitely be an issue
Especially when look you're looking you don't want to end up with a mint and 500 are the same and this was sort of my fear
Even though even though I had tested it multiple times
You're sitting there and waiting and wondering as the mints are coming in and I was desperately refreshing the page to see what's what looks
You know, am I getting the right about amount of rainbows? Am I getting the right amount of eyes?
I'm gonna get a laser eyes. I'm getting the right amount of the assets that I thought I would get and
In the end like I sat down one night and kind of compared what I
Coded in to happen, you know, it's never gonna be exactly that it's it's it's probably again
Like and it was there there abouts pretty much pretty much bang on like which was which is pretty good to see
So again, I'll dig into I suppose the collection. I kind of skipped over this we've minted out
We minted on January 8 and so we're about we're coming up to like our month birthday now
I suppose on base the mint price initially was five dollars
What I did was I whitelisted all the tiny dinos
Just as a kind of thank you for allowing me to use the art and collection. So any of the tiny dino
Holders could come over and grab a free dino. I also whitelisted a couple of another collection
I'd worked on previously. So out of the
2,000 dinos on only 81 were claimed as free and so the mint kind of
We we had about a thousand mints after about three or four hours and then all of a sudden it got shared on the base
main page so that as the on-chain daily and
I mean once that happened like I think we minted out in 45 minutes
It was pretty pretty crazy experience to be honest to see to see like base all of a sudden follow you and then retweet
your project like it was really really cool probably like the proudest moment of the whole thing like just to see that like
You know the actual chain owners of the people behind the chain thought it was cool as well
Like you never know when you're doing something like this
Which way it's gonna be received that they're gonna look at and say oh here's under derivative collection or you know
The not much work went into this or it's a big crap or whatever like so to see something like that
Like it was really really cool like and so like I'm back to I suppose why base like like you said like they're like
Unbelievably empowering builders to build on their chain
like it's their main focus is to get builders over to get them happy to get them building getting the toolings they want and everything they
Need like they I think night and day like the day doesn't go by without seeing some new addition that they're helping to
Basically onboard more obviously users through coinbase, but also to empower builders to build cool stuff as well
And they're like obviously extremely supportive of them as well like they share projects. They're involved with the community, you know, Jesse
Minted some dinos he's been involved like, you know, it's just it's really really really cool to see like and so that's probably yeah
I noticed that straight away from the start and that's one of the reasons why I've stuck around building here, too
Hey, so impressed you you mentioned a couple of the stats from the from the early mint
And I just wanted to dig in a little bit deeper into the statistics
It minted for the equivalent of five dollars pretty much five years of my thoughts. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, and now the floor price is at point
054 that's quite the pump. Yeah, and I've noticed that recently a couple of these
Have actually sold for point one eight and uh, those specific
Dinos are crowned dinos. Would you say that's one of the most sought after traits in the collection?
Say it's the second. So our highest sale was point three eight
Which is like seven eight hundred dollars is the rainbows basically rainbows are definitely the most popular
There's only 36 of them. I think the current floor for rainbows is let me check. I reckon it's about point one eight
and they're definitely like
No, it's point two five eight actually rainbows. So they're definitely like the most sought after I think they're the coolest too
I have a rainbow as well. So being the perks of being a dev I didn't have to
Wait for my dino to be randomly created when when the contract was deployed in the constructor
I picked my dino. So I am dino number one
He's a rainbow with rainbow spikes and he's got um, he's got an eye mask on too
So he was the only one that was predetermined and he's mine and he would be mine forever. Um, but yeah, they're they're really really cool
The perks of being the dev I
Should have picked my own collective now
Yeah, I just oh because I was during the testing I was like these are pretty cool
And I was like, which one do I want do I want to roll the dice here with one?
Or do I want one to be mine and sort of make it like well known and like, you know
I'll use those on twitter profile and people will be able to spot me pretty quickly
So I settle on down on number one and I absolutely love the bits
He's like i'm getting a sticker of him printed out. He's gonna go on to my macbook. Like I love him
He's he's brilliant. Like my daughter loves him too. She was the reason why well one of the reasons why
We were looking through my laptop one day
Like I was looking through my old stuff in my help receive holder and she was like what's that a dinosaur?
And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah
And that's what kind of triggered it as well on my head
These are very cute. Like I haven't looked at my tiny dino in a while
Like what maybe I should do something with these like and that's really what kind of sparked it off
So yeah, she's she's a big fan of the dinos too. And I always I always get very cool stories people dm me like
Of it's particularly around we did the racetrack with sammy like people playing it with their I think was it one of you guys playing
It with your daughter. Was it you carlos?
I was just about to say yeah
With his daughter as well, so it must have been yeah
uh, well someone did I don't know who it was, but it was yeah, it was um
Yeah, really cool story. So people see people seem to love the art
Like and I I mean i'm not surprised like the the tiny dinos have done an insane job
With the art. So like it's a privilege to have built on top of it. Um,
um, and yeah, really really cool collection, so
About what we have holders got like 440 holders at the moment our discords getting there pretty active
Like got some die-hard fans of the dinos and just sort of like really enjoying being you know
a good collection on base, you know, I think people respect the dinos respect that the
The work that went into it the development behind it
Like and I mean you can I suppose you can you can see that or you can
Unders it's pretty clear with it with the floor price of it too. Like it's done. It's done pretty well
I don't want to make it all about the price of the floor and stuff like that because I think you know
It's not really a big part of it for me
It was really just like a cool technical build. Um, that was successful in the end and got good exposure
And I suppose that's a part of me
Why why I wanted to come on to so many spaces because a lot of people didn't really I feel like base is getting on
getting a lot of new people to the spaces like
Um, I ran a script a while ago and I think like I think there was like about a hundred of the nft
Sorry about a hundred of the owners
It was their first nft that they the wallet had held which I thought was really really cool
Um now that could be down to just people bridging over to base using different wallets or minted from a different wallet
You can't really hold it as a big stuff. But like if 25 percent of our holders
Are have bought a dino for the first time or bought an nft for first time. I thought it'd be pretty cool to like
explain or come on some spaces and tell people what the difference is I suppose between an on-chain asset and uh,
your standard traditional, uh nft
Yeah, and another another stat I wanted to throw up there just because I know you don't want to make it about the floor price
And that makes sense. But um, you've like this collection has just been absolutely crushing it on base, right?
it's been one of the top collections for
uh, several days and it's amassed a total of
33 33 eat in volume on secondary. Yeah, so
We're like the 14th largest or collection. I think on base of all time
Um, obviously overshadowed by mokimans who blew base up last week
But and yeah, we like we had a we had a week where kind of we were
On the first two days we were trending on the all chains page, which I think is insane for any l2 collection
Like it and I really I think it's a great advertisement to people who aren't
How haven't bridged across like so that was one of my goals
I've got a couple of goals with the project one of the one is to get into the top 10
But another was to get it trending on the open sea
um all chains page which which we managed to do like I just think it's it's
I I think that I think if we're heading into a bull run like a lot of us think we are like I think gas is
Your everyday nfts. Um, and I think we need to kind of
Collectively choose a chain that like okay
This is the chain we use for nfts if you know what I mean
I I think it's a bit of a pipe drain
But I think that's my sort of vision if I could if I could if I could have it that way
To your point, I think you're so right
And I was talking about this last week with carlos about how
You know even a year ago even two years ago
And maybe even I would have put myself in this camp a lot of people were like no one's gonna pay a premium
For nfts on any l2 because they don't have that l1 provenance no matter what, you know
No matter how bad fees get et cetera
And we might have all been we might have all been kind of trapped in that mentality to some extent
But I think uh what's happening
Especially with base is is kind of proving that wrong where you know collections like yours can
Get a lot of activity can trend on the all chains can hold up a decent floor price
You know, that's not the most important thing more important than that build build a solid community, you know
And same thing for collective nouns, you know
We've had really good demand in the auction and and people have been treating them like the collectors items
They hopefully will be even though they are
On this l2 and not on on l1. So I think that's really promising for the l2 narrative
I think also with the with the den koon upgrade coming up for 844. That's gonna just further reduce the fees
Transacting on l2s. So that's going to be a big game changer for the super chain specifically because all of them
They're already so low. It's so crazy
I think the unlock that's gonna happen there is that a lot more people are going to feel more comfortable and be able to
Pay that pay those fees for for people to help onboard people, you know
When when base is paying the mint fees for frame mints and stuff like this is just gonna gonna become a lot more common
As it gets even, you know 100x cheaper than it already is
Yeah, yeah, like I think that's gonna be a huge part of it too
Like and then I think I think part of it is like fee stabilization as well
Like probably knowing more what the fees are going to be for like the sequencer going back to l1 and stuff like that
so it's really going to help on board more users because like
If you're gonna go to if you're gonna go like I had to go I went to went to main net for the first time
And it was painful like it, you know, i'm i'm not well
It's all like going on and moving
Moving a couple of nfts into a ledger or you know
Picking up some meme coins or whatever you're spending by the time you're finished you wasted a hundred dollars in gas like
They're the current fees when it's 25 30 gway and like I think remember remember when
The meme coin craze was a couple of months ago. Like gway was 200 like there isn't a chance of of
entry into into nfts for people who aren't
Very, you know wealthy or aren't
Have don't have a lot of crypto and I think that's a gap that base is filling, you know, you can you can come on
On chain onto base you can spend
You know less than a dollar getting your getting your getting your eat onto onto the chain
You can go on to the open sea collection
You can pick up a bunch of nfts for probably a hundred dollars and probably have only spent a dollar in gas
And you have about six seven nfts collected in your wallet and you start your kind of on chain journey
If you're to do that in l1
A hundred dollars would hardly pick you up two or three of these nfts if even you know
So in gas let alone like what they cost like so I just think it's yeah
I think it's I think it's really important for the ecosystem to have
As a whole obviously that applies to like defi and everything else because people have different wallets and different
Sizes so they can fit into different buckets
All right, I I do want to change the topic just for one slight second, uh, tody i'm giving away one of my
On-chain dinos or I saw that I saw that tweet come across my feed. I was like wow
What a little legend for people who retweet this space. Uh, I would love to just get more visibility for for
The collection and I don't know what's the best way to do it
Is it for people who retweet the space or you think it's best for people who retweet that actual tweet above?
Uh, no, that's to retweet the space do the space. Yeah, yeah more views more people in okay
So you hit that purple button or the white button in the bottom right brings you to a little chat
You can either quote tweet or retweet the room. Thanks carlos for putting that up
Yeah, and the other thing I i'm not sure if I was tripping
But did I just see base god join the space or was that just while it I did. I did see base
I sent him an invite as well. Um
By the way, we're we're chatting with base god
We're going to be doing a little collaborative contest with the yellow collective launching next monday
So keep an eye out for that little art contest a little base god art contest coming down the pipe
Um, so that'll be fun to do but I think he might have popped in and popped out again
But we should definitely have him on a space maybe next week
We're gonna we're gonna hop on over with the
Tiny base frogs. So maybe maybe the week after that sounds good really good collection as well. Yes
Got any alpha for us any alpha?
Make sure you have dinos with lots of eggs. That's all i'll say
Yeah, that's that's my alpha for today
Make sure you have dinos with lots of eggs. Yeah. Yeah, so based eggs. Yeah. Yeah
Okay, cool interesting cool cool on chain sort of build or experiment coming with the dino eggs in
In february is what i'll say. Yeah. Yeah looking forward to it. Be really really cool
Really cool again, like wanting to get more people on change for transacting using their dinos using their wallets getting familiar with base
Transact getting used to it, you know in in preparation. I suppose for the bull run
Thought carlos said the bull run. I don't know
Take it started already. I mean
I'll have to wait and see won't we
Somebody somebody said something the other day, which I think was pretty prescient
Which is like last time when we were in a bull run
We didn't even really realize we were in the bull run until we were you know, essentially halfway through the bull run
So we're probably we probably are yeah, we probably are
We're out and out of the sideways shop, I think for now
Yeah, we shall we shall see a couple folks have come up on stage as we've been chatting
So happy to go to them and if they have a question or something else they'd like to
Share that's on the topic of base builders. That would be great. I think vandy was the first person to come up
I see on the doge in your uh in in your bio. I love love the on the doge project. Nice to see you
So wait before before we get vandy on sorry
If you want to grab this dino this specific dino has
That's a big that's a big dino. It's a max
Yeah, is carlos is carlos gonna regret it. I think so he might yeah
It's like all of a sudden someone's gonna get dino with six eggs. He's like, I don't know where that one went
Oh, jeez, it's it's for the culture. It's for the culture. Yeah, that's a great one to give away. I'm delighted with that. Yeah
The room so you can get that giant eggy dino
What's up? What's everybody? Yeah, I just retweeted the room. Uh
Apex I could just like tell how passionate you were about these so that was like really fun to hear about your project
Um, yeah, I hope I win. So hi everybody
Um, I think I follow like a lot of people in this room or have met some people here
So it's nice to meet everybody
Love based fellows based gods the dinos moki you guys are the best
So yeah, the project I work with
Um, we're called own the doge. I'm not sure if people have heard of it
But we are basically a community who like collectively own the original doge nst basically
Everyone's heard of doge and in like my profile. You can see the little doge image
Technology called fractionalization
Everyone who buys dog. We all collectively own like the original doge nft
And i'm on this space because we are actually doing
I don't even know if i'm supposed to be sharing this with that many people but we are actually doing a
Incredible amount of wallets
So if you own base assets, whether it's i'm not going to name specific projects
But I think most of them I see in this room will qualify
You we were doing we're just doing
and it just goes towards this idea that
Everyone should be a part of owning this iconic image
Of so you're basically airdropping like percentage ownership of the actual doge image to people on base. Yeah, basically
So so it's so cool. It works the same as like a coin. So our ticker our ticker is just dog
You know, but it's backed by the actual image
Yeah, it's super cool. Yeah
My first exposure to own the doge was when you guys did a few prop house rounds
via nouns and I had some of you guys on on a space to chat and
My takeaway was that own the doge is like extremely nounish very
Very similar in terms of rallying around a central meme, uh, you know for the purpose of just proliferating and having fun
And so I love that and I think it's really cool that you're gonna onboard a bunch of people from from l2s
That's good idea. Yes, and we yeah, we love nouns. Um, I know nouns is definitely, you know qualifying for this and
I'm just excited for people. Well, first of all, it makes just i'm just pumped about base like you can
Feel the energy of base growing like every day. I think um
The energy behind like warp cast and far caster right now. I think he's helping a ton
Just slash dog on warp cast. I think monkey. I think y'all have a space. I think y'all the channel on there, too
Um, if anyone hasn't signed up, I highly recommend it. It's just a really cool place to be right now
You got it. You gotta get a channel apex. Do you have a channel yet for on chain dyno? No, not yet to be honest
I've been so busy with my like real work this week. I really want to get into
Into far caster and really dig into frames and stuff. Maybe build some cool frames
It's on my list. Like I I do need to set up a channel asap
Yeah, we we ripped off the bandaid with the yellow collective. Obviously we have our we have a pretty uh
Active discord for the noun square that we've had for two years
But we thought with the yellow collective we'll put a channel in the noun square
But uh as far as like new channels for discussion of the of the yellow collective. We just put them all on fire caster
It's like trial by fire, you know make people go and communicate
Over there because it's just better. It's better than discord. It's better than twitter. Yeah, it's yeah
I'll definitely give it a go. It sounds really really cool
If you're into if you're into real work just pivot to far caster
Seriously though if you're in ai
Frames are frames are incredible technology people. Did you see the cookie frame? Oh, yeah
Yeah, I couldn't order it because i'm not in the u.s
But it's pretty cool to see all the stuff that's happening with with frames
Someone want to give a quick tld or to people maybe who aren't familiar with frames on what they are
The best way you could probably describe frames
So the best way i've heard it described is if you remember
If you're old enough to remember like farmville and that explosion of crazy games on facebook when facebook was still popular
That that was all done through like highly insecure iframes essentially, which is just like a
You know a browser within the browser that you could play these games on and it was huge
Because the reason why it was huge at that time is because facebook was the network
Like that's where all the people were right?
So if you could build something build a game or build an app
Where people were already seeing it like scroll by that was kind of a big unlock because you didn't have to go to google
Frames is like the protocolization of that for for this on-chain network farcaster. So you can essentially
Interactable version of open graph, which is like anytime you've ever taken a taking a link
On the internet and posted it on twitter posted it on discord that little embed that you get that's that's being pulled from open graph
And what frames has done is basically made that interactable i'm probably explaining a little bit wrong
But that's the general gist of it
And so people have been getting very creative with the types of things you can do in a frame
You know while you're scrolling farcaster, that's very good
Yeah, I saw I saw daleo frog built like a cool
Bread game simulator as well. Like so I have to dive into it. It's on the list on the list of stuff to do
Yeah, and the the minting process is
Super revolutionary. So I was like baffled the first time I usually kids you basically
Are just scrolling down a feed and you see a cool nft
You basically just click mint and that's it. It just goes to your wall. There's no like confirming in your wallet. There's no
Nothing, it's it's like so seamless. It almost seems like
Paying the fees then on this then
So what happened with that first one the way that the best way to consider
The mints that originally happened in these frames is that you were essentially opting into it an airdrop
So the first one that was released from jacopo dot eth
He did it in conjunction with a company called slice
Yes, they they would have had to subsidize the gas for the thousand mints or whatever was the app to send those to
So essentially all that frame was doing was taking your farcaster id
And the wallet associated with it and passing it through so that they could airdrop you and nft
For free and that's why it was so seamless. And so, I mean, obviously there's no free lunch
Someone always has to pay for that
Uh, but there's lots of crazy things happening because people like base and some other infrastructure
Builders and I think even purple stepped on it instead
Like if you build a frame that you know that subsidizes the gas for this that or the other thing
We will pay you for it. We'll give you a grant
And some people are you know continuing to build all these things that are free for the end user
Which is the only free that matters, right?
So pretty pretty cool to to see and uh, i'm just curious to see you know how it continues to evolve because uh
One of the founders of our caster casted today v. Varun casted it on their roadmap
One of the top three priorities is on-chain transactions
So I don't know how they're going to manage that
But it sounds like it's a priority to get it to a place where you literally could do
A proper mint or you know in our case what we would be excited about for on-chain
On-chain transactions would be as a as an on-chain club would be like you could maybe bid on the auction
For example right from a frame you could vote
Uh, you could vote in a on a prop you could do all these kinds of dao type
Transactions right from a frame which would be really cool
Yeah, little alpha is own the dog own the doge. We may be using frames
To have the largest frame airdrop to ever, uh through far caster
So if we if we can if we can get it to work
Good caveat, but that's really cool
Carlos what do you think about frames?
It was actually on my yeah, I was just saying it's uh, it's so seamless you can
Accidentally mint stuff just you know
An important thing on that too and I because a lot of people have asked like is that like a security concern like if you're
Clicking something and and you minted is that an issue but because you're not actually signing any transactions
There's nothing that can happen to your wallet. You're just kind of opting in for free airdrop. So it's
At the moment very very secure. You don't need to worry too much
And then the crazy thing about that is I don't know if any of you guys were there when the first frame nft minted
I think the floor price on that today is like 0.2 east or something
So people are definitely getting speculative with it. It's it's pretty funny to see
Yeah, that was the nft that I just clicked
And then I went there a few days later. I'm like, wait, wait, wait people were paying 0.2 east for this thing
I just randomly clicked on in my feed
Yeah, i've been calling it paying inattention because that's kind of what it is
It's like if you were there and you saw it, you know, you clicked it then it's it's worth something
And same thing goes for like the far the farcaster og
Token, right if you were there before farcaster went permissionless you were airdropped a special nft
I think those are going for like 1.3
either something crazy, you know and still most ogs are not selling because it's like we
You know, we know we think that farcaster is going to be big in the future
So we've got a little off topic from base and on to farcaster
But like you said, I think bandi, I think they are kind of inextricably linked a little bit in their in their success
Uh, we had mochi up here. I actually wanted to ask them some questions
I don't know if they're still around
Um, because it'd be great to hear about what they've been working on. I just had an invite again mochi
If you do want to come back up
About their journey as a builder and what they've been doing with yeah, I I I wanted to dig in a little deeper into
The ecosystem support, you know, what what kind of support you've received from?
Uh the base team. I know that you mentioned, you know, you got up on on the on-chain daily
And got retweeted from the main account, which is huge just to get the nod of approval from from the team that way
Yeah, and obviously increases, you know visibility which which results in conversions to to mentors and holders and and people being supportive as well
Um, but did you also benefit from the builder grants?
Yeah, I received the builder grant or will be receiving a builder grant this week
And which was which is really really really good like and really generous of them as well
like so I was nominated for the builder grant so
um really cool initiative they have and if anyone isn't aware they
You you could be nominated for a grant and you get between one and five each
Um of a grant for building on base, especially if you build something pretty cool
So they've been pretty generous with them. I know a lot of projects have got them and I suppose a bit of a sidetrack here
Base and jesse and the base page have been amazingly good to me building on base
But uh, so have all the other nft collections as well
So I want to shout out to like the base fellas daily off rock tiny base frog
The original on the odey kind of base nouns as well. They've been really cool
Like so they've really helped me build this project out and push it to where it is
So having those guys on board and you know given the nod of approval minting sharing it as well
You know even before base themselves come along is just been a great support and that's the biggest thing
I love about base as an ecosystem. Like I feel like we're still kind of a small community
but like everybody is building together and working together and collaborating together
Yeah, I think we are early yeah, I think we are I think we are very early like uh, I really do
Yeah, I do. I do and I think
Like and I'm you know, i'm happy to support anyone who's building
Anything if it's on chain off chain if you're building something that's pretty cool
I'm happy to share it. I'm happy to help you with it
I'm happy to you know share it with my community and and basically yeah, just get stuck in really that's that's the goal here is
To see people build cool stuff base is a great ecosystem to to learn how to build things. Um
You've got really good tooling. You've got really cheap fees if you mess it up and have to start again, you know
You don't even need to go on sepuliar. Really you can you can just go straight on to base
Honestly, like I I will I like i'll be the first to admit I have done that a few times
It's gonna cost like five dollars and then i'm able to use let's say the real uni swap or i'm able to use
The real open sea and see how this looks it's just it's just work
Just set up spin up a different wallet and just you know, just do a test on mainnet
Can you stop littering the mainnet, please?
Another another thing I wanted to point out just because I feel it's important that you know
We have other builders that are considering launching on base
So not only did you get you know
The support in regards to visibility and you got a builder's grant to help kind of bootstrap what you're working on
But because you've created impact on base, which is part of the super chain
This also makes you eligible for rpg f4
Uh, is that something that you're already thinking about?
Uh, has that crossed your mind at all?
You're gonna have to tell me what that is. Really? Is that the optimism?
That's funny. This is that this is how early we are right? Like I i've been i've been trying to onboard a lot of
communities projects to optimism so that they can build here and become eligible for that
Uh by creating value for the ecosystem. So because you are you have deployed a successful
On the op stack right on the super chain
This means that you're creating impact for for the network and by creating impact for the network
for retro pgf four which will be in I I believe in five months
Two carlos this last rpg they were very explicit about the fact that if you're building on base
If you're building on zora l2 if you're building on mantle if you're building somewhere on the op stack that is all
You know part of the super chain. It's all contributing to no way increasing the uh,
You know the sequencer fees for the op stack as a whole and therefore it sort of fits into that into that strategies
Sort of interrupt carlos, but just wanted to mention. Yeah, that's exactly right. And just recently they distributed
Uh op tokens, which is you know a few days ago. That was worth like a hundred million worth of of
Tell me i'm gonna get i'm gonna get a hundred million lp tokens in five months time
Yeah, yeah, so the way the way apex i'm actually i'm glad that you weren't so familiar because it gives us an opportunity to also
Inform other people in the audience if they in case they are building or they're thinking about deploying on on base or any of the other
Chains, so basically when the time comes around they they open applications and you sign up
It's it's a really straightforward process you go and sign up you
um make your claim for impact in in the network and and just for reference other
Nft collections have also benefited from every
Of rpgf, right? So, okay you go and you say, okay. Well, I I deployed this this collection
We have you know this many mentors. We have this many this much volume on the secondary market and
Basically, it shows that you've created this on-chain community
And you've created impact into the space you can even go as far as saying
Well this many wallets had never interacted like they actually bridged to be able to mint
Yeah, and and that shows, you know that you're contributing you're adding value to the ecosystem
And then once you apply there's a batch holders. So these would be these would be people that
allocate tokens to projects that they find interesting or impactful in the ecosystem and this last
This last iteration. Um, you were awarded the median amount
based on everyone's votes for your project
You know the noun square is a perfect example of a of a project that benefited from rpgf3
Because they migrated a lot of the work over to the super chain
Toni do you want to speak a little bit more on the results from the noun square?
Well, just that it was extremely helpful
It was our first time participating as as our organization that was building in the op ecosystem because we really just started migrating
A lot of our educational material and a lot of our nft projects and whatnot over to op stack
Last year, so it was it was just amazing to to be part of that
Ecosystem it played a huge factor in us deciding to launch the yellow collective on base
Played a huge factor in us launching our no-mo collection
Which is a daily mint that we do on our daily twitter spaces here on the optimism network
And it also played a huge factor in us minting most of our content if not
Basically now all of our content that we make our podcasts and our educational videos are all minted on zora as watchable nft
The strategy I guess from from op which is you know, if you if you incent it they will build, you know
if you make it if you make it, uh
Profitable to it to have impact then people will come
And uh, and they will build there so it's been huge for us
I think the main takeaway though from what carlos is saying is that if you are looking to build on base
Just know that you'll get support from the community because it's it's young and it's growing you'll get support
Uh, you know from from the base team and at least in my experience. They've been really great about
Helping with attention and amplification, uh, which is uh worth more than than eth
Many many in many instances and is not always, you know, something that's done very well in other ecosystems in my experience
And then you'll also have the potential, uh, you know to get grants from base or from from op
and so I think the takeaway is like if you come in with good intentions and you make real impact and
Um, you know, you can build some cool things in this ecosystem
That's my that's my one minute summary
Yeah, I think you summarize that extremely well. So
Apex I am gonna be pinging you whenever these applications, uh open up and also there's that tiny little dino head spinning
Oh, yes. Yeah. Yeah, sounds good. Look forward. Yeah. Yeah, that's really good
I mean i've heard I when you said the
The acronym I kind of clicked them out. I knew what it was but I didn't know that base
Base builders could qualify for it. But now that you've explained that it makes perfect sense. It's all part of super chain
I mean you have to know like op could have definitely been like now that's that's not gonna
To their credit. I think that they're being very open source
Ethos about it and saying like this is the reason why we made op-stack
You know open source that we wanted people to take it and contribute and grow the network
With base so I think that's that's very bullish
Overall for the for the ecosystem
Um, I do want to just take a quick pause just to check in on the the auction
So we usually do a space every day around this time called yellow clock where we check in on the yellow collective auction
At yellow collective.xyz and looks like we're going to collide with that time
So we'll probably just keep keep keep the cameras rolling
But in about 10 minutes or so the auction will be ending
So i'm just going to be keeping like kind of an eye on it so that we can come and see who wins the auction
And also, I guess we'll get to see live what the next collective noun will be what will come up
Hopefully not another plunger in the in the in a row. We don't want another birthday paradox on our hands
Live on the show. Uh, but yeah nine minutes current top bidder is a zero x 79 e
One of my favorite people on the internet. Just kidding. I have no idea who that is
But there's a non, uh with a current top bid of 0.28 eth
Uh, and uh, yeah, i'll let you know if another bid comes in
Let's go over to mochi though because we've we've had them up and lost them a few times as we've been chatting away
But we'd love to to hear from you mochi, uh in nine minutes or less about your experience building on base
Yeah, hi guys. Good to see you all in here. It's nice to have these little spaces also apex
Apex great guy fellow irish man. Congrats with all the
I was gonna say is that like a prerequisite for building?
It is yeah, you have to be irish they support the irish builders more
But yeah apex been a great help especially all the og builders as well uh based fellas
dalo frog and and you know tiny bass frog and
Bass nouns as well. Everyone in the og builders chat
Uh really helped us in our recent successful collection mochi months
And uh, yeah, it's just been it's just been a big family and we've managed to heat up base a little bit and it's
Really exciting to see, you know mochi months last week
Do huge numbers and now we're seeing all the hype around farcaster frames on base and it's really starting to buzz
On base right now and and I think it's just yeah, I think it's just the start
We are early but uh, you're really starting to feel that ramp up
I've had nothing but a positive experience with everybody on the you know
The small family on base and building together and trying to make this all
You know trying to bring the world on change trying to appeal to the masses and bring them on chain and show them what they can do here
I just love all the lore that's being built in real time around brian armstrong
On base chain. I didn't realize that mochi was named after his cat. Uh, do you want to talk a little bit about that?
Yeah, so mochi's named after brian's cat. We've never seen mochi the cat
We just know his name or her who knows uh, but yeah brian armstrong
He's just like the based god of our chain. So everything kind of revolves around him
And uh, yeah, we've seen a lot of projects spawn around it and he's who we look up to
He's who's building the lore and uh, yeah, we all love his beautiful bald head. So
Yeah, we had bald I think which was the first meme coin on base right after it launched
and then of course based gods which you know, I I think it says on the bottom of the site that
Any any resemblance to any people living or dead is purely coincidental, but they do look a little they look a little familiar
I don't know. What do you think carlos?
Yeah, for sure they look like they look like carlos after his uh daughters cut his hair one time
Yeah, i'm actually going to get a cat and uh, then get indoctrinated by shaving my head again
There you go, and I don't know about tiny dinos i'm not i'm not aware of uh, brian armstrong, uh having a pet dino but
If he does it's probably on
Some lore when I was researching because obviously i'm a project lead of his cat
You know, I have to research this man's life a little bit to see what I can fit that in the lore
But uh, he actually used to wear a dino onesie when he was uh, starting up coinbase, which is
I don't know if this is true or not, but it's in the lore now. So it's
I thought you were gonna go back to my dino
Uh now we carlos now we have to mint this episode on change just so that this becomes part of the on-chain
Yeah, for sure. No, but I thought you were gonna go back to like, I don't know elementary school or something
Not that one of his interviews. I think it was with I can't remember who was but yeah
He said that in his time building
Building coinbase in the office. They would wear dino onesie when they were locked in and building the company in its early stages
That that is like a a nardwar
Fact to know about someone if you were ever to interview brian armstrong if you brought that up
He would definitely give you the the nardwar face like how do you know that if you don't know who nardwar is that?
That's gonna flop but uh, it's the reference checks out
Uh mochi tell us a little bit about what your experience has been like uh launching mochi. Well, what is mochi?
Mochi is a meme coin at heart at face value
But really it's just a it's a cute vehicle to bring, you know
Help bring the next billion people on chain and and I think cute is king cute transcends chains. It transcends even
web 3, um, and and I think i'm just kind of building this brand that can bring people who
Who have never really heard of web 3 or like sees our nfts like mochi mons
These cute cats and they want a piece right and then and then you're like, okay, just download a coinbase wallet
You know, we're on base, you know
Uh, it's super easy. This is web 3 and it's just a great vehicle to onboard the masses and we're just trying to create the
The next pudgy perhaps you've seen you've seen cute
Transcend into walmart and and like, you know kids wanting a piece of these cute penguins
And I think that mochi mons and mochi as a brand could be that too
And a great vehicle to onboard the masses onto base and that's what we're kind of aligning ourselves with
Uh in terms of coinbase's mission here
Uh, but it's just a meme point at face value with a lot going on behind the scenes in terms of our strategy
On base and how to align with coinbase's mission
Very cool carlos. Do you have a mochi mons?
No, I don't have a mochi mons, but i'm gonna i'm gonna go uh, grab one
He's gonna go grab one now with 90 eggs and give it away live on the space
You're paying to work here, buddy. You're
Getting too many giveaways. No, i'm just kidding
So they they are pretty cute looking appreciate that. Those are going mass appeal and and jesse and the base team. Everyone's been extremely supportive
Jesse, uh even bought one off the secondary market. He bought his favorite one
Amazing. I I heard somewhere that the artist one of the artists worked on the original pudgy penguins artist, uh antoine mingo
Uh and get him to it was pretty easy. We were like, let's just do pudgy
But for cats and let's make this the next hello kitty and he was like, i'm in
He's like i'm sold exactly and he's done it twice now
Exactly and he's done it twice now
He's proven himself that he can bring mass appeal and mass cuteness to collections the second time in a row
That well, they are they are very cute
I'll give you that and I I regret that I did not grab one earlier because now i'm gonna have pain
Because I try to grab one now
Um, anyone else have any any thoughts any comments questions, uh for either mochi?
So we we were able to get quite a bit of alpha from from apex
I'm wondering if uh mochi has any alpha for us. Oh carl is just trying to drain the alpha out of everybody
Yeah, yeah, there's alpha coming
But I won't say it in here because we want to roll it out on our twitter. I'm mochi mons twitter as well
I mean there's barely anybody
Yeah, there's alpha. Just tell us
There's definitely something similar to the eggs coming as well
Um, um, yeah, the family's gonna expand a little bit and and we're gonna go down the ip route and really make this
A big brand we're only really scaling our team. We didn't expect to hit 400 eth volume in less than a week
The demand has been insane. So we're scaling our team because we realize that the potential is massive here
Nice so I I I heard plushies at walmart or soon soon
Immediately. Yeah soon soon. We need to build out the ip first and that takes a bit of you know legal stuff
That's really cool well they look they look great and I love that there's all this builder energy and people
Uh making new stuff to to come on and talk about it every week
Checking in on the auction again a minute 33 left and top bid here is from carlos
Like I said carlos just literally spending eth on base
All the way through this space buying tiny dinos by emojis buying collective nouns
Uh, I don't know. Are you about to nab your second collective noun here carlos?
Uh for 0.3. Oh, I spoke too soon new bid of 0.34
Just came in from red jet car.eth
For this plunger if you're trying to figure out what we're talking about go to yellow collective.xyz
And you can see the live auction for collective noun number 14
Maybe carlos. I can take a quick minute to talk about collective nouns and what we're doing while we wait for the auction to reset
Um, so collective nouns the noun square if you're not familiar with us at all, you should definitely follow us here on the clock
educational content about web 3 about on-chain
On-chain life for a better part of two years funded by nouns now
Uh with so so just basically information about
About the super chain about on-chain life what nft is about ethereum?
All from sort of the the the bent or the the view of of the nouns ecosystem
Uh, we've wanted to launch a dal like organization for quite some time
One of the things that we've done a lot of is empowering artists within our community
We run a lot of art contests and a lot of
Do a lot of commissions for artists from all over the world?
Uh, and so the main goal of the yellow collective was to basically do a full fork of nouns
With new community drawn art on the base network
And and use the proceeds from from those auctions and from many grants received to help sort of keep that flywheel spinning
Keep supporting artists and encouraging artists and creators in this space. So
We launched finally last week after a lot of planning and after getting all the traits sorted and curated from our community
Uh, it's been going really great. We're on community. Sorry collective noun number 14 right now
So almost almost up to two weeks of collective nouns
And built up a little treasury of about six eth plus about 14 eth and grants from base and from nouns builder dal
and those funds are going to be used like I said to to do our contests and commissions and
Really empower creatives in our community. So if you're into that sort of thing
Stick around and participate. We also do have a channel on farcaster where you can get more information
Just go to uh backslash yellow over on fark
And carlos obviously loves yellow because he already has one of these collective nouns, which one did you get carlos? I forget
He forgets too carlos. Are you there he's got the flip flop flip flop
Yeah, ah, yes because he's a beach bomb. How could I forget?
And also redjack car who's the current top bidder here has has one of these tokens as well
Also yesterday's collective noun winner. You may know has a little guy named jessie
From base took home collective now number 13, which was a sloth noun really nice ones. So
Anyway, we're about to see who's going to win collective noun 14 while we wait for that auction
Which resets every time someone bids again, so we got a new bid here of 93
Sorry, not 93 east. That'd be great. Uh 0.39 east from 0x 93 e
And reset the clock for four minutes and 35 seconds. So carlos. That means you've got four minutes to uh to riff more
About base. Yeah, I I wanted I wanted to ask
Mochi about the most sought after traits in the collection
What do you think those are the most sought after trade is no trade at all
It's the naked side. We we specifically only put uh 11 naked mojis in the collection and they're just clean
Uh, they just excuse me. This is a family show actually
Yeah, not safe work, but it's just like uh, it's the ones with nothing right the the bear ones
Those are super super popular super rare. I wish we made more to be honest
Um, but the in terms of other ones
It's uh, the lucky cat plushy is extremely rare and the dino helmet. That's also a reference to uh, there's a dino suit
uh brian as well and maybe an homage to apex here, but
uh, and those are the main sought after traits are like the dino helmets and the naked and people love to really
Uh love to get the clean ones right with not too much going on like the ones where you can see the expression clearly
But really the main focus of the collection is cuteness colors color palette was a huge thing when we made it to create depth
uh, those are the main things that really set nft's apart, but really it's a collection where you choose
What you like based on your personality? There's no like rarity hunters really it's like oh that represents me. I find that one cute
That's the one I get so really the community decides the pricing here
And we've seen some like subcultures sub groups form around some traits like the pirate hats and the dino heads
I really like the ones holding the little cat. Yeah
They're all great and and as we build out the content and the gifts and stuff and kind of follow the pudgy playbook
You'll see the world evolve and like these different subgroups
Nice also the um the tamagotchi necklace is really yeah tamamochi
Uh, it's a game. We're actually launching soon. Uh, and they'll be they'll get boosted rewards. So there's a bit of alpha for you
Hey mochi, I have a excuse me. I have a quick question. Um, i'm bandy so nice to meet you
so like what's the lore between mochi and toshi are these like two cats that are like
Enemies or are they like is that like lore being built out or is there like no relation between the cats?
Well, they're both brian's cats and if you ask brian i'm sure he won't pick a favorite
You love both your cats equally i'd say but it's healthy sibling competition, you know
Some days you fight some days you're you realize you're in the same boat together
And and you love each other for pushing each other up. But yeah, it's just healthy competition like a sibling relationship. I guess
Very very diplomatic response
That's not what toshi said. No, i'm just kidding. I'm sure they would be current as well
And besides, you know, like they say no on the internet. Nobody knows you're a cat right carlos
Uh, I love that. So it's it's cool. We should maybe have a debate one of these one of these spaces
Could get pretty messy. I think the communities are maxis on both sides
I just think the other project pushes me to do better better and I hope that I do the same for them
We're all bringing people to base really so
I love it. All right one minute left on the auction here if we don't get reset
So 55 seconds and this plunger plunger collective noun with a mess on his shirt
I don't really want to know what happened there
I might go for 0.39 eth and we'll welcome another member to the yellow collective
Unless we get another last second bid here 39 seconds left on the clock
If you want to watch along with us go to yellow collective dot xyz
And uh, you can watch or participate etc
So what do you think carlos? Are we getting another bid here in 30 seconds or is this the one?
Oh, we lost we lost carlos carlos probably went offline just to go in bid he's like, oh my god, I gotta get a higher bid in
Simply attack. What do you think 16 seconds left on the clock? Is this it? No, I think we might see one more point
Four two. Come on. Oh, I guess four two nine can't get that in there. So
Yeah, no four two zero. Yeah, you can't get that meme in there. I think this might be it 0.39 eth
Yeah, it looks like it congratulations
We'd actually send a non so if you're here if you're listening and let us know who you are

I'm happy to replace carlos's dinos from the dead wallet. Oh, that's that's super kind of you
