Full Transcription
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, man, the music gets me every time.
Every time.
It was cool for like the first 30 seconds so that it just was like, oh, my gosh.
It's like raining here.
So I was like falling asleep just listening to that music.
Welcome, my bass fam my based fam welcome welcome welcome
just giving some time for everybody to kind of get in here and uh we'll get started here shortly
oh man uh yeah almost i literally was like falling asleep
nodding my head there uh give it let's see i gotta go find my co-host i'll be right back
okay they have been pinged we have pinged there they are. Man, there's like right at the same time I sent a message.
They are on their way.
All right.
Started the space up a couple minutes early today just to give give give some time for folks to
find us here but uh make sure you get the things shared out make sure obviously if you're a project
you know here that's you know going to be sharing uh drop a link into your telegram
into your group chats let folks know you're here uh oh, I see Funk made it up.
Hey, what's going on, guys?
Sorry for the delay here.
Just watching some U.S. National Wrestling Finals that just got posted.
Oh, nice.
Your mic is sounding good today.
You got a loud and clear mic.
No, I just got surgery on my voice, so it's better now.
You get like an implanted thing, or what do you mean?
Yeah, yeah.
Basically, they just went in there and implanted a voice box,
so I can do all kinds of cool, funny voices now.
In IRL, it's like a modification, like augmented reality kind of.
Dude, I can't keep up with all this,
all this stuff happening right now.
So yeah,
it's just the tech is crazy.
The tech is crazy,
man.
It's like a neural link.
I didn't know you were in a transhumanism.
That's actually a new thing I've learned about you.
We've been doing spaces for over a year.
I didn't know you were adding like artificial,
parts,
and upgrades.
that's pretty cool.
Yeah. Thanks man. My, uh, my wife's happy about the other upgrades as well but i'm not going to talk about those here yeah i was talking to
someone the other day and they were like oh you won't believe what we've implemented into our uh
into our platform and i was like is it like a ai an ai implant are you guys doing neural link
because i need that i need someone to put something in my brain to stop me from buying the
shit I buy.
Yeah, I got a
TA chart in the Neuralink, and
it stops me from buying the
dip a hundred times, so that's pretty good.
Yeah, I actually just need something
to pop in my brain and tell me when to sell,
because I never do. I'm basically
just the round-trip king over here.
I don't ever i very very
rarely ever uh uh cash out anything or or sell anything i just hold it till it's uh until it's
it's hidden it oftentimes any year now any year now we're gonna get those 2021 vibes back and
everything that you hold is gonna move someday i was trying to show someone
my nft wallet the other day i was like check this out and i was showing them some stuff and i was
like i paid like four thousand dollars for that one and this one they're like why would you why
would you pay four thousand dollars for that and i was like well at the time it was worth it you
know and it did go up and then it and then it now it's worth forty dollars and now it's worth $40. And then you've got to pay for gas fees still.
It is what it is, man.
The vibes are solid.
I miss the days of the daily mints.
Every single day, we'd have NFT mints.
We'd get the whitelist.
We'd get the allow list.
It eventually became the allow list because whitelist became like kind of frowned upon for some reason
yeah well yeah we'll get started in just a second but i do want to say i'm not sure what i've lost
more money on nfts or solana but i'll tell you what i haven't i haven't lost much money on is
the base the base network dude this is awesome network and we got some great projects today
absolutely absolutely i see that we've got some folks up here already on stage with us. We'll definitely be passing the mic around so everyone can share what they've been working on.
got a few folks down below as well hanging around.
I see you all up there.
One of our newest cartel members down there, I see OXAI is hanging out,
so hopefully he'll get up here and talk a little bit about what they're cooking over there.
I also see Dexodus and Hibachi down there.
I've been talking to those teams.
Looking forward to working potentially with you all as well.
Definitely if we have some time tonight, we'd love to hear from you.
See the homie Fanzo.
Rachel on change is hanging around with her.
Look at that beautiful little NFT PFP you got there.
Nouns, glasses, and everything.
The topi's looking sharp.
A lot of homies.
A lot of homies in the crowd.
Good to see y'all.
The ticker.
I see you down there.
I think he's like a regular in the space, but he changes PFP, so y'all. The ticker, I see you down there. I think he's like a
regular in the space, but he changes PFP, so y'all might not recognize him. But yeah,
let's do our normal updates. Fogg, you want to talk about CoinMerge? Kind of an interesting
week I think you guys had over there. You want to share anything?
Yeah, we've been on the struggle bus for only base blockchain. Everything else on our services is going absolutely fine, amazing.
All our chains are up, our adoption is doing well.
But basically what had happened was our base node got corrupted for some reason.
And so then we had to basically deactivate the node entirely. And then it turns out that we needed more storage space as well.
I don't know if it's because the blockchain has gotten bigger over time.
And so we need more storage.
So we had to order a whole new server with all new specs.
And basically all of these things have made it so our buybot has been down for like a week and a half.
And it's embarrassing.
And we don't like when that happens.
So ultimately, we've ordered the new server.
It's going to be up in a couple days.
But try to take silver linings from black clouds here.
I do suggest in the meantime you install another buybot until ours gets back up.
But when ours is back up, we will give everyone free trending.
We're going to go on a free trending rampage week where first come, first serve.
We're going to get all the projects that have our buybot installed that stuck with us through that annoying time.
We're going to get them lots of free trending, free shoutouts, free tweets.
to get them lots of free trending free shout outs free tweets and hopefully you know maybe we
can make it even like a base week at coin merge so that like our x account is just fully pumping
base guys and base base projects so maybe that'll bring some nice attention to the base blockchain
and the projects that stuck with us through the downtime so apologies on that end hope you still
still have our buy bot but feel free to use another one until ours is back up.
So that's the update from us.
Nice.
Well, hey, stuff happens.
I know the team is hard at work, too.
I get it all resolved.
Probably a good time also to reiterate the message I think we gave a few weeks ago.
If you're building on base, which, I mean, most of you are, everyone here,
base which i mean most of you are everyone here um you can actually get access to the the web3
shards data uh the that's something that coin merge that's another thing they offer uh so if
you're building on base uh reach out uh let you know let the team here know if you know that you
can get access to uh data at a much well's free. So obviously way cheaper price for blockchain data.
So if you need that, it sounds like there might be a little bit of a, so that would kind of relate to the same issue, right?
For now.
The way it goes is we have like a server that has a node on it and that node fills up Web3 shards with data, which then informs our buy bot.
on it and that node fills up web3 shards with data which then informs our buy bot so the node
part is cut off so web3 shards cut off and then thus the buy bot is cut off too again a little
bit of egg on our faces but these things happen at least it's during a down market trend and we'll
be full force when the market comes back up or even sooner i think you know a couple days here
and we'll be back up and running and we'll be trending your projects for free, like I said.
So appreciate that.
Love it. Yeah. So so, you know, stay tuned for that.
Obviously, if you're building on on base and you want access to that information, as soon as that's up and running, you've got access.
So definitely something to tap into the cartel.
We've been talking about it for about a month and a half now.
We've got you know, we've been talking about it for about a month and a half now.
There's a lot going on on the back end, working hard to add more projects.
I think the meta shifted quite a bit in the space.
And so you're seeing that, of course, with the cartel.
I think with Clanker, of course, being a meta there, with Banker launching stuff on the timeline.
And then, of course, we had zora and content content
coins being kind of the focus for a bit um it's just how it goes sometimes you know the the the
meta shifts a bit and then it'll come back around right so uh we've got a lot of uh interesting
projects that we've been adding but if you if you look tonight it's very defy heavy we got a gaming
platform they got def DeFi projects.
So obviously, you know, a little different shift.
Not as much meme activity as we're used to, but I think it'll come back around.
I love my meme coins.
We want to continue to provide a place for everyone to come together and work.
I know a lot of these DeFi platforms and gaming platforms and all these guys that are
building really cool infrastructure on base, they want to see the memes thrive as well. They're
looking to partner and work with good teams. And so we're going to keep continuing to push
in that direction and provide those networks for you. But hey, meta shifts and we got to shift
with it. So we're doing that and
having a good time as far as uh everything else stay tuned we've got some stuff cooking for
hopefully the first week of may which is like really vastly coming which is kind of crazy but
as long as the market conditions are right we've got some stuff we're going to cook up so
uh looking looking forward to that stay tuned maybe Maybe next week you'll hear more on that.
But that's it for the cartel and coin merge.
So we can start, you know, kicking the mic around to everybody and, you know, hearing about these lovely based projects tonight.
I'm going to just go, if it's cool with everyone, in the order on my screen and kind of the order that you guys showed up.
So I'll give velvet the mic
first then we'll go zed and brew and then oxai uh and then if time permits uh we'll start bringing
up some more projects uh you know to hear hear a quick update on what you guys got going on but
uh velvet it's been a while probably a month or so since we've had you at least on on the spaces so
i'm sure there's lots of update folks on uh you want to jump in and tell us what
you got cooking yeah yeah definitely um yeah great to be up here once again um after a little bit of
a break there but uh got some of the team over at token 2049 right now um so things are looking
pretty good there um not really on the bayside, but our founder met with CZ and a few others yesterday.
So, yeah, continuing to grow and continuing to make connections at these conferences.
Had a few myself in the U.S. over the last month or so, with Das being the main one there.
Possibly going to try to make the Coinbase one that you mentioned in the cartel chat
that seems interesting so yeah I'll keep my eye on that
and as the time gets closer see if I can make it
but yeah with us we're kind of leaning fully
into the Deep AI narrative that's kind of been a big shift
since we launched our initial agent as kind of a test run back in October on virtuals.
Now our entire platform, we're shifting more over to the deep AI side.
So kind of integrating AI along with trading execution, trading analytics, all that.
So we can basically have a situation where people can easily use AI
to either be kind of an alpha analyst type of thing for them
or building right now the actual execution part.
So you can use agentic execution and have the AI actually go in
and make swaps for you and then eventually run full on-chain strategies for you as well.
So the execution should be live in the next week or so.
We're internally testing it.
I think that'll be exciting.
And then, yeah, we're also launching for the projects in the crowd
an AI treasury management solution
where you can use part of
your idle native tokens, put them in a vault on velvet, connect it to our AI, and then it'll be
able to manage liquidity, kind of take some profits on the way up, buy some when it goes down,
keep your chart looking healthy, like keep the volumes up, excitement continuing to grow, especially with meme coins
or content coins or AI agents volume tends to be a big leading indicator. So especially for those
types of projects where you don't have necessarily the fee buybacks coming in or something like that,
where a traditional DeFi protocol might have with lending or as a DEX or anything like that.
Kind of a way to keep your chart healthy and not just have a three-month period of volume,
everything fall off a cliff, people lose interest, they see volume going down,
they sell as kind of an exit indicator being volume dropping off and not really returning.
So yeah, we think that could be a good way to keep volume going.
And it doesn't, for most projects,
won't have to be too much of their token supply either.
So because the amount traded on a daily basis is usually not very high
for most native tokens for projects,
we think like, yeah, small allocations of your tokens from your treasury
can kind of keep that chart healthy and keep excitement growing in your project
over time and kind of keep, maybe keep, like, the valleys a little bit less as well.
So we'll be kind of launching pilot for that.
So feel free to reach out if you're a project.
And we can bring you on the pilot, which would be kind of a really small amount,
just kind of testing it out, showing you how it works.
And, yeah, kind of growing from there over time as people get kind of more comfortable with AI making decisions for them
and not traditional market makers or asset managers coming in and trading.
We don't necessarily consider it market making
because there will be directional risk involved in a lot of the trades, but it'll be kind of
trading and lending and borrowing and kind of keeping the whole ecosystem alive. Yeah,
so that'll be really exciting coming up here pretty soon. That's a very interesting experiment
that I think will be fun to watch play
out.
So yeah, and probably smart.
Like you said, to kind of have a pilot sort of beta testing environment, you know, where
people are just kicking around smaller amounts for the beginning stage, for sure.
That way they can kind of get a good feel for it.
And I know there's a lot of projects working on either, you know, adding AI agents or working, you know, with swarms or other things.
So very interesting to hear that you guys are taking that approach.
I know we kind of talked about some similar stuff, you know, even a month or so ago that you guys were working on.
So it sounds like you've landed into a pretty interesting setup here.
So very cool man um can you so just
just you mentioned like the pilot maybe uh if there are projects listening in uh the easiest
way to contact you guys would be was that through your your account here or is there a better yeah
yeah the easiest way probably would just be to dm us here. I think as long as you're verified and most projects are, our DMs should be open.
So, yeah, we'll see it.
And you can either get in touch through here or if you're part of the base cartel, it's always easy to reach out through there as well in those chats.
So you set me up with the softball there, too, because I was going to say, or if you're in our group chat, you've got access to all these projects in one place.
So you can definitely hop in and shoot out a message there and connect on the Telegram side, which is what I was going to suggest.
Cool. But yeah, so you heard it here. If you're interested in getting involved with Velvet Capital with this very interesting AI experimental play. I think that would be pretty cool to watch
play out for sure.
Go ahead. What caught my ear there was, you said you met CZ?
Yeah, our founder met CZ over at Token 2049.
He posted the picture yesterday.
Damn, did he have prison tats?
Is he Jack now?
Yeah, he's fully bald.
He has complete sleeves of both arms.
He got the MS-13 tattoo on his fingers.
Is it coded, though?
Is it a Photoshop, or is it, like, coded in the – sorry.
I don't know.
All I know is senators are flying out to go see him now.
Oh, Jesus.
All right.
Well, you heard it here first.
Love it, man.
No, hey, we appreciate you always being not only supportive of the cartel,
but a lot of the projects that have come through, memes and otherwise.
I know you guys have worked with a lot of them, and I'm glad you're able to use that.
I think, you know, a lot of people ask, we talk about the Bayes cartel. I spend a lot of time on
phone calls with founders and different entities in the space, and we talk about kind of what we're
trying to do, and this is a perfect example of a project that's maximizing that opportunity,
right? Like, you can build something
on anything networking related. If people aren't using it, it's kind of like, it's kind of pointless,
right? So I'm glad you guys take full advantage of those opportunities. And hopefully everyone
can continue to do that going forward. So hey, we appreciate it. Hang around. I might have to
bring you back into this conversation. If you're able to stick around for a bit.
Yeah, I can stick around.
Yeah, I would basically say for any projects listening here, join the cartel.
It'll be a great decision for you.
100%, man. I appreciate that.
Appreciate the love there.
Yeah, for the next project I got to pull in here here uh is is is the legendary uh zed team over
here zed champion uh with the zed token on base what's up i got yeah what is up i got to hear some
of that that space yesterday and i was like man we got to talk about this stuff again tomorrow
night so hopefully you're ready for that of course of course yeah if you can if you want to introduce
yourself obviously there's probably a couple of people here that haven't heard of zed but most most of these folks
are familiar with i know right the old the old zed but tell them about the new zed tell them what's
up tell them what's going on of course first off uh i'm ian uh head of players over here at vhs lab
the makers of zed uh i believe ryan was on here last month, right when we went live with Beta talking to you
quickly. Got to catch that and love the based cartel. So honored to be here. But yeah, we've
been cooking the past week. It's been a very hectic, busy, but fun past week going live and airdropping racehorses, breeders, 60 million Zed to players. Breeding
just opened up today. So just to kind of step back and tell you guys what Zed Champions is about.
Zed Run obviously was the 2021 crazy NFT horse racing game. I was a player back in 2021,
as hopefully a lot of you were as well.
And basically we have created a completely new game.
It is horse racing.
It is stable management.
But we took probably the best parts of old Zed Run,
which could be a grind depending on which phase of the
game you played it in. It had a very long career with different phases, but it was pretty apparent
that the game model wasn't going to last long term. And so what we did was we took a step back
and we said, what can we build for the future so that it's
sustainable for Web3? Because the ebbs and flows of the market can really sink games, right? We've
seen it in the past, including Zed Run. So we decided to make a completely new game that really focused on what we call the Coliseum or the racing pool of Zed.
Okay, so it's a very hyper-competitive racing pool with only 4,320 horses.
That number is very specific because races go every 80 seconds.
And there's a longer story there with a PIX platform that will be coming in the next few months where anyone can get it on the app store and make picks on these races.
And 80 seconds is kind of a sweet spot.
So there's content going 24 seven.
But basically, the whole idea is to breed horses that run automatically once they're created in this racing pool. And the
racing pool acts pretty much as a giant staking pool of Zed, right? So we take half of the Zed fee
that it took to breed a horse in the stud market. And we take that and we put it in the racing pool. It kicks another horse out because that 4320 number
is very static. And basically we have this ever rotating pool of horses that are constantly going
in, getting retired, breeding, repeating. So the whole idea, and we saw this in the past 30 days
of our beta play test, the whole idea is that that pool continues to act as a giant staking pool
where everyone is breeding, everyone is driving prices into the racing pool.
Races are constantly going every 80 seconds.
You're seeing horses with tens of thousands of Zed on the line for every single race.
And the idea is, it's just continuing to
build that momentum. And when we launch Zed picks in a month, pretty much, you're going to have
people making picks, kind of like the sweepstakes model of prize picks on these giant races that
have thousands and thousands of Zed tokens staked in them.
Fantastic.
Can you walk me through your, I guess, understanding of the decision to make them auto races, where
essentially, the way I understand it is, you know, the player doesn't really get to choose
which types of races they're going to be in.
It's just automatic, right?
So how does that work, and is that something that can be changed at some point,
or is that like a vital piece of the sort of –
That is vital.
Yeah, I mean, it's a great question, and especially coming from the old Zed Run game
where we had a lot of different distances for races.
You had 1,000, you had the sprinters, you had the 1,600s,
and then you had the marathoners, right, like the 2,600 meters. And there's still a game of skill
in Zed Champions. It's just different. It is still surrounding around breeding. We still have the
main four bloodlines. So breeding is obviously a huge part of the game, but we've also-ups and you're looking at what your competition is
also equipping as their arguments and then 30 minutes before the race the race locks you get
the odds for each horse which uh if you remember old zed run you'll be happy to know that we
instilled odds back into the game which was a big uh fan favorite so there. So there's just a lot of different strategy than actually picking
your races. I think one of the things that we took from Old Zed Run was the grindiness or the
click fest of constantly having to feel like you had to jump in and race your horses 24 seven, or you got left
behind. Um, I know that as a player of the old Zed run, if I missed a couple of days, I would,
I would just kick myself because I knew that arbitrage or someone else donkey teeth, they were
racing 24 seven and I wasn't going to catch up, especially during the progression
and XP days.
So we really wanted to kind of take that load off of the player and have it be more of a
chess match where not only are you breeding into the racing pool, but 30 minutes before
every race and horses race twice a day, you can analyze your competition, see what augments are
being equipped. And then it's kind of like a final game of chicken with those last, you know, that
last 30 minutes where right before everything gets locked, what is that final decision that you put
in for that race? Yeah, it seems like you guys are definitely trying to move everyone to uh sort of focus on
the augments um augments is a huge part huge part yeah um so that's kind of the that's really where
the i mean other than like obviously breeding and kind of you know but once you i guess that's kind
of like the strategy right like you have you know depending on the you breed and the, you know, sort of the strengths of your horse,
do you want to like supercharge a strength or do you want to like pick, you know, sort of like augment one of their weaknesses?
And like, I assume that's kind of like more of the goal as far as like the gamification side of it.
Because that's what, when you have something like what you're doing, it really appeals to someone like me who doesn't spend as much time
or doesn't want to spend as much time uh playing games has you know other
things going on but can sort of like it's almost like fantasy football effort you know like you
can go in you can set everything the way you want it once you're comfortable with it you can let it
just let it roll um and you don't actually have to physically like obviously in fantasy you don't
have to physically play the game or have any input on it it almost feels like that kind of um approach at least for me um and i think that's
that appeals to me but i can also see like some folks being like well i kind of liked you know
doing the click fest they kind of like grinding through it but um i guess i guess that's that's
a really good sort of um uh a risk to take because you know getting, getting people on, you know, sort of a global, broader sort of
level to play, I think that's a good way to approach it. Can you kind of dive in just a
little further into Augments, you know, your understanding of, you know, what you're seeing
early and then maybe some speculation as to where that's headed? Because I assume that's just going
to be a constantly evolving part of the game that people are going to be constantly trying to keep up with.
So what are your thoughts on that?
Absolutely. And I love just to take a quick moment, the analogy of fantasy football,
because you're totally right that a lot of people just don't have time to sit in front of their
computer. No shade if you do, but a lot of people don't have that time to just sit in front of their computer. No shade if you do, but a lot of people don't have
that time to just sit in front of their computer. We all have real time, you know, real day jobs and
families and stuff. So it is actually super nice to have your horses running on auto mode and
getting updates. We make sure to send notifications out just in case, you know, you want to change
your augments and you always know when your horse is racing.
So you always have kind of, and this goes back to fantasy football, like you're obviously
throughout the week, you're looking at the player, making sure that they're not on,
they're injured or questionable, making sure that the matchups look good, everything like that. So
it's not like you're not paying attention. You just don't have to
it's not like you're not paying attention.
You just don't have to race your horses every single day,
kind of monotonously, right?
And that's what we were really going for.
But to go back to augments, which right now,
if you play the game at zedchampions.com,
we kind of give you all these augments.
It's 15 of them actually for free. And you can really of give you all these augments. It's 15 of them actually, uh, for free.
And you can really just equip any of these augments to your horse and you can see how
it does.
And we're doing that obviously to get people used to the whole idea of augments.
This season zero that just went live on Monday is definitely a beta season where we're trying
It's definitely a beta season where we're trying to see what works and what doesn't.
to see what works and what doesn't.
And we want people to get accustomed to always having augments equipped on their horses.
In fact, when we airdropped horses, we made sure to let everyone know here when the horses race,
make sure to have augments equipped.
If you don't have augments equipped, we're actually going to randomly assign them to your horse just so that you don't
fall behind or start the game unfairly, right? Because it's always better to have augments
equipped than not to have them, right? They're always beneficial. So really, like I said,
there's 15 of them right now, and you can equip three at a time.
And this is something that's actually different than the old game, which I absolutely love,
is watching races actually matters this time around. Where when you equip your augments and when it's go time, you go into the stream and you
watch it, what you're watching on the stream is actual horse analysis
where when the augments trigger,
you can actually see it happen on the stream
and also watch the competition
and how the horse does throughout the race,
just like a real horse race.
A lot of people might not know this, but with the old Zed run streams,
it really didn't matter.
It was kind of just a randomly generated race that really had no,
wasn't tied to any specific horse performance.
So we're very excited to include that with Zed Champions,
and especially with augments, because when you're watching the races, you can tell when these augments trigger.
We have special animations and then a post-race real life, just as if you would, you know, if you owned a horse and you had a jockey, right?
Or if you owned a sports team and you made these decisions before the race, you can actually watch it play out.
Yeah, that's so sick.
No, I absolutely love it um do you have a moment to talk anything about um
the actual zed token itself i think there might be some folks interested in just getting a
kind of a quick rundown on how the you know how the tokens integrated and what
uh what's going on on that side do you have yeah do you have any insight you can share there yeah
absolutely so like i said that the whole, this whole game runs on Zed,
right? So by buying Zed, you're basically buying the token that runs this entire game.
And how we've designed this game is to basically be a giant staking pool with horses that you have
to breed in Zed, right? So when you breed a horse, half of that overall cost to breed that
horse is locked into that horse. And then they have to run at least five races, which is two
and a half days. And then the owner can decide whether to retire or not. And if that horse is
doing well and it's winning a lot of Zed token, well, that owner is not going to retire them anytime soon,
right? They want to see how high the horse can go. Very similar to Crash Casino. If you're
familiar with the rocket ship, it's basically that decision, right? But in horse racing form,
where you constantly have to decide whether or not to retire the horse. Zed token is the foundation to all of this, right?
And I mentioned earlier,
we gave our players 60 million Zed
on last night, actually.
We airdropped it to all our badge holders
and to various members of the base community.
And basically we have just a frenzy right now in the breeding market because you have
everyone topped off with Zed and you have breeding that just opened with all the breeders happening
right now. It lasts for 24 hours each auction. And then, like I said, tomorrow you're going to
start seeing horses compete to get into the race pool. That means horses are going to get
auto-retired if they have a balance of Zed that's too low, or it means that owners that want to cash
out their Zed will then retire their horses on purpose, and it'll allow new room for the horses the horse is being bred right now. We even have future features. We call them top-ups. Basically,
it's staking as a fan, where if I don't even own a horse, I can actually stake Zed token
on that horse to continue its career. Because in the racing pool, obviously, you're going to be winning and losing Zed twice a day.
And so fans will rally around a horse that they think is a good bet.
And they can actually stake on that horse very soon, actually.
It's coming in season one, which is next month.
And they'll be able to kind of feel the action of being a part of that horse's journey without actually being an owner,
which we're very excited about. That is, that is pretty sick. So, so, okay. One other thing I want
to touch on, and then we got to get some of these other projects in, but yesterday when I popped
into the space, I kind of asked a question around, will there be any like racetrack sponsorship and that sort of thing?
And instead, it sounds like there's something similar with the augments happening, but that won't be a focus on this game.
Is that correct?
The horse track, I'll be honest, isn't a conversation I've personally had with anyone since and I'm fairly new.
anyone since, and I'm fairly new. I joined two months ago. But you're absolutely right that
I joined two months ago.
there is a lot of talk around augments and augments kind of being its own economy, right?
It's pretty basic right now for season zero, like I said, but season one, season two,
we're going to start really building out augments. That does include partnerships for sure. It also includes
rarity, right? And durability. And we're basically going to have a whole marketplace dedicated to
augments right now. The marketplace is just horses, right? You can buy and sell horses right now.
And that's pretty much it. But with augments, it's going to open up a whole new economy,
basically, inside of Zed Run.
And it's going to be very exciting.
Are those going to be like NFTs as well, or how does that?
Yeah, yep.
They're going to be, NFTs are going to be able to be bought
and sold and traded by the player.
Rare ones are going gonna fetch a high price
of course so um yeah well you know i'm i i joked around about it but i'm pretty serious now i i
think we need to get a cartel augment going here i think there's a lot of things that a cartel could
provide for a horse absolutely and maybe it involves going around and breaking other people's augments. I think that'd be pretty funny. Go break someone's legs.
Sorry.
All right.
So I'm really excited about this, guys.
I think it's going to be a really fun game.
I think we needed something like this to come along.
I'm glad you guys chose base.
So welcome.
Yeah, welcome to base.
And I think when we talk about adoption, you can't put all your eggs in one basket, guys, you can't focus on one thing. I think it's, it's, it's one of those things where the meta shifts and all that, I understand that. But, you know, gaming is always going to be something I think a lot of the, the folks that have been in, you know, web three crypto, we all see that as one of the easiest sort of pathways
towards that cringy term, mass adoption,
that we've been using for a long time.
But yeah, I love it, man.
And I'm glad you guys, like I said, chose base
and gave us an opportunity to show
that we can rally behind a good project.
So the cartel stables are open.
We got a couple of horses.
Renders, he's not here.
It looks like he didn't make it into the space tonight, but I know he's been, he's been playing around and he did bring up the, the auto, you know, the auto racing essentially question. So he,
he was talking to me, talking to me about that earlier being like, I don't know what I'm doing.
Last time, you know, I played Zed, I was i was you know i was choosing races and all that and now i'm just it's just auto racing and i don't
know when it is and he he's like i had to i had to put it down for a minute but i'm gonna he's
gonna jump back in it into it over the the next few days so uh exciting times man love it funk
you got you got a question brother i know i mean obviously just want to mention I just love gaming and Web3 and crypto.
But I did want to comment as well on that comment you said about mass adoption being coming.
It kind of reminds me of a stand-up comedian who said that cryptocurrencies are like crystals for men.
Where you just hold on.
This one will bring me wealth.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, any day there's going to be the mass adoption, guys.
It's coming.
Hey, I have crystals around my house.
Like you got to put a couple around.
You know, it's like healing energy.
Nothing wrong with that.
Nothing wrong with crystals.
No, great projects.
I appreciate the dedication that you guys have put into the deck.
Thanks.
That means a lot.
And I don't want to take up too much more of your time because I know there are some awesome projects waiting.
But we are live.
So ZedChampions.com.
Get in there.
Get a horse.
Our marketplace is live.
The breeding.
We've got about 13 hours until the first auctions close.
And then we're going to see a massive competition to get into that racing pool.
So very exciting.
Now is the perfect time to join.
And where do we get these badges from?
The badges were given actually to old players.
We wanted to award our old community first.
So all of the badges were actually allocated to old players.
And then we had some leftovers because not everyone claimed them.
But we got to share them with other base communities.
We had a partnership with
kaido uh we gave some out for our beta players that helped kind of come in and help uh get us
through some bugs right so um the badges are pretty much all claimed for now um they are still
you could still buy and sell some for some zed of the future seasons because uh they're good for six
seasons um but really what you want is the horse marketplace, right?
We airdropped the horses last week and now they're fully tradable right now.
All right. Get some horses. Love it, man.
Well, thank you so much for joining the space tonight,
updating everyone on what's happening.
Another great cartel member.
Hopefully as time
goes on, we can work together
again with those partnerships
and relationships to strengthen
each other.
Glad to have you here tonight.
Thank you so much.
100%. Oh, and by the way, you guys, if you're going to hang out in the space,
feel free to pin stuff up.
I think, Funk,
you must have pinned something up for them.
If there's any call to action, anything you guys want to pin up, you know, you're more than welcome
to do that. Obviously, I talked, I'm supposed to be starting these spaces with the base team on
Fridays, and I guess they're a little concerned because somebody came into one of their spaces and
pinned up a bunch of crazy stuff in their nest.
And I was like, man, I've been doing spaces for like five years.
You can't even imagine.
Back in the last cycle, we had a – there was like a – never mind.
I won't get into the details.
But let's just say there was some really shitty things that they would post up there.
You had to watch for that stuff.
So I'm a veteran, all right? I know not to let somebody just sneak up on my stage and pin up weird stuff.
But no one's perfect.
So hopefully Slick didn't come up here to pin up some weird stuff.
Hey, hey, how's it going?
I'm not even sure if I really know how to pin stuff.
I'm not a big spaces guy, so don't worry.
I'm not going to throw up anything crazy.
All right, man. Well, we'll come around to you here in a little bit. I've got to get through a big spaces guy. So don't worry. I'm not going to throw up anything crazy. All right, man.
Well, we'll come around to you here in a little bit.
I got to get through a couple of projects, but I saw your profile and I want to give
you a chance to talk what you're doing over here on base.
So give us a little more time to rotate to you, but hang around, man.
Thanks for not being someone that pinned up some weird, crazy stuff.
Appreciate that.
All right.
We got Mav from Brew Labs.
Brew Labs is a project that I've been following for a while.
I'm glad you also came to base.
I'd love to hear about what's happening on the Brew Labs lab.
Sorry, now I messed up.
Brew Labs lab.
What's happening?
Thanks again for having us.
We always love to jump on your space and chat base and listen to these other great projects.
Really, really cool.
Yeah, we've been really busy since we last spoke.
I think the last chat we had was just after that whole drama with the coin, content coin with Jesse and everybody loves bass.
It's kind of all died down now.
We haven't really heard too much more about that since that last space,
I think.
People are kind of just getting on Zora and pumping out content by the looks
of things.
But from the BrewLab side,
we've been really busy building out our Indexes product.
I think, you know,
obviously we've called upon you in the
private chat to get some feedback on you know what we're doing in terms of branding etc which
has been really uh helpful so big thank you to that um for those of you who are hearing about
us for the first time uh we're currently building out a or we do have a kind of live beta at the moment for tokenized index funds, or we call them actually crypto traded funds.
So basically, it's very similar to traditional finance ETFs where you can go and purchase a collection of stocks.
We've brought that concept on chain.
So at the moment, we've got funds up up to 10 tokens which are in testing at the moment
you can actually jump onto our domain and participate in some of those funds if you want
to have a look at uh my profile you can see i've been posting pretty frequently about them
and uh development updates we had a really big week last week in a lot of the indexes actually
and um i think our best performer was about 30 and i
that i think off the top of my head if i recall that might have been uh actually jesse pollack's
based summer or based spring 2025 index which i think had a huge performance that week the big
pusher in that index i think was vvv the um AI. I'm just having a look at the data here. Yeah,
the AI protocol. But yeah, there's been a really good, it's been a really good week for the
performance of a lot of indexes in there. Like I was showcasing a trade that I took in it,
which performed really well, yielded around about 22 to 26%, which is pretty good for a seven-day trade um at the moment we're still
kind of building out a lot of uh features and expanding the ui and ux of um of the products
but our kind of core focus has shifted a little bit to the base batches which we are using our
indexes as a showcase uh to hopefully get traction over there, a little bit more traction with the base builder community and Coinbase themselves.
So we're kind of fully focused on that at the moment, smashing out our submission for that hackathon.
And we're hoping by the middle of May, we'll be able to produce something for the general public to start building their own index funds with verified tokens.
And of course, start trading more frequently
with more improved UI, UX for the platform itself.
We've actually also decided to rebuild the entire product
in its own brand and its own platform.
And we've gone with the name of INDX.
So that will hopefully, well, that will be our
submission. And as I mentioned, hopefully we'll be available for users to jump on there and start,
you know, trading indexes. At the moment, we've kind of got a bunch of verified indexes,
which we've created internally and maybe some KOL indexes out there, but we haven't released
the feature to allow any user to make their own indexes just yet. There's a little bit of additional work required.
And in terms of what we've recently finished in the last seven days,
we've finished all of our user position data.
So we've got all of the transaction data now populating for user trades within the indexes.
So very similar to how you have on a standard exchange, you know,
Binance, et cetera, Bybit. You've got all your, you know, historic trade data. We'll have all
that available now for users when they're interacting with indexes, which would be super
helpful so people can track their performance. And we've also updated a few, made a few changes
within the index contract as well
to kind of make room for some upcoming features
for later versions of the contracts
and we've changed a little bit about fees.
But yeah, we're smashing out as much as we can
to get that submission ready for that base batch
for the APAC region,
so kind of the Oceanic Asia area there.
And yeah, we're looking forward to getting that submitted
and see what our outcome is of that.
For anyone who is not familiar with that hackathon at the moment,
it's a Coinbase-sponsored global hackathon.
There's all different types of regions with some great prizes on offer.
So I would recommend any of the other builders
if they're interested in that type of thing to to to join the hackathon and hopefully get some additional traction or showcase products further in front of Coinbase and key opinion leaders within the base team.
Sorry, that's actually some really good alpha you just dropped there, because I think I heard you say index, INDX, was something you mentioned there.
And I don't know if you've even said that out loud publicly before, so that was good.
Well, they said it on, not to throw you under the bus, but they said it on the last basis they did on base.
No way, dude.
Yeah, we talked about the CoinMerge index, remember?
No, no, no, no, dude. Yeah, we talked about the CoinMerge index, remember? No, no, no, no, no. We knew about indexes, but he's talking about a rebranding and kind of refocus under this name INDX, which is something I think is pretty recent.
But that's kind of out of the picture.
My bad, my bad.
Yeah, because I mean, I think it's smart, too.
I mean, I think it's smart, too.
I mean, Brewlabs is a really cool name.
But I think as far as capturing people's attention,
and it's always important when you brand something that people,
well, not always important, but I think in our industry,
it's important that they see the name and kind of get a feel for what it is.
And so it makes a lot of sense to go that direction, INDX,
because, I mean, yeah, you guys are an index, basically index-based project.
Now, Brew Labs is not just indexes.
It has a lot of other stuff.
They've been doing a lot of other things.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, yeah.
So it's like you kind of now have an ability to sort of step back and say, we still have
all this other stuff, but our index platform is going in this direction.
So it's super exciting to see you guys pivot and kind of move in that direction.
So super exciting to see you guys pivot and kind of move in that direction.
And, yeah, look, we talked about with Zed, we kind of talked about fantasy football as a comparison.
And in a way, putting together an index, it's a risk mitigating strategy, right?
Like you're putting together an index so that people like me, like I've already admitted at least once in this space, aren't the best traders. But when you look at, okay,
like a base cartel index as an example, and we put together some projects, you know, maybe one's
having a rough week and one's having a great week, right? So it kind of balances out and it gives you
a nice steady opportunity to pump your bags over time i i know for sure if i could go back if i could go
back in time and uh use an index i would i would gladly do i've done that so uh super cool yeah we
have um one of the indexes actually we i was posting about last week was the Brew Labs Large Caps 2025, which has basically a collection of, you know, the largest cryptocurrencies in the industry.
So being on base, we used a few, we used a few pegs versions.
So we have, we had Bitcoin, XRP, ETH, of course.
And I think we had a bunch of, let's have a look.
We also had LINK, Morpho, Well, Aero, Solana in there.
So there's a whole bunch of different tokens
in that particular index.
And it's important to mention as well,
when you do purchase into an index,
you actually are purchasing, it's fully collateralized.
So you are purchasing all of those tokens and you can opt to sell them if you wanted
to back to ETH or you can claim now the index at any point in time.
But that particular large caps index was a great example of the power of index-based
trading or diluting risk.
For example, I think the last seven days, Solana didn't really move too much, yet a lot of the other tokens within the index had a great performance.
So if you were totally invested into Solana, you wouldn't have really had too much traction last week.
But if you had purchased into the index, you would have probably got around the same yield that i received in that trade that i showcased
which is around about 20 so you know it gives you a bit of opportunity to dilute your trading
experience and also dilute your risk so you've got a larger you're kind of casting a broader net i
suppose over uh some of the large cap tokens and you can speculate on the performance as a group so um yeah it's really cool like where
we are um brew labs obviously is still our core focus but we do have um like index and a bunch of
other actual uh dApps that we build in this um in the space we just call them affiliated products
so this index will be uh indexes domain will be an
affiliated product that obviously we build manage maintain.
Very similar to how you know, Google isn't called alphabet
kind of thing. So we've we're positioning ourselves to focus
on indexes or INDX as our core build for the next for the
foreseeable future, I should say so you will see a lot of see
us pushing a lot of traction in that direction.
But all the fees and things like that that are developed,
sorry, I captured from that index product,
obviously goes back to BrewLab.
So we still kind of circle everything back.
But yeah, super excited to focus on INDX
and get that out as a unique and standalone platform.
We're hoping it will probably, well, it looks to
be hopefully a DeFi primitive. So a first of its kind indexes trading platform that's fully
collateralized for anyone out there to create their own indexes, earn from them. And of course,
hopefully trade and make some money out of them. They don't need to be your own index. You can
participate in anyone else's indexes as well.
So yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
It's going to be exciting.
Outstanding.
Now I do have to do this because I'm just like this.
I've always done this on spaces.
I like to like put people next to each other and be like,
oh, hey, you guys have similar things.
Maybe there's some synergy here.
So what if like velvet capital and brew labs
with index figure out a way to work together with these indexes in these ai uh agentic you know sort
of trading platform that they're building what if we did some culture like that or is that already
happening on brew lab side and that's a competitive that would be awesome hell yeah yeah to be transparent we've got no uh it's not on a
roadmap whatsoever to uh do any kind of ai related trading um so you know we're totally open to
something like that if uh you know for us l to give you a bit of a brief roadmap of what's coming
up we've we've got basically your spot indexes online at the moment.
So that allows very similar to how you have spot trading on a centralized exchange,
or if you're buying, if you're swapping on Uniswap or something like that,
you're just purchasing the asset.
So that's exactly how our indexes work at the moment.
So you've got your spot trading.
We're going to bring in
limit orders in our next iteration along with uh like hopefully fiat on ramping we've kind of
already started pushing that into indx to be ready for um the hackathon submission so you may even
see that fiat on ramping available so that would be pretty cool our people to um you know purchase
eth and then go straight into an index.
Then in our next iteration after that, we're looking at perps. So that will be futures-related trading for some of the very large indexes for your blue chip.
So that's kind of a very brief roadmap of where we're moving.
We've also got ideas to bring in some RWA assets, et cetera,
which would be pretty cool.
But in terms of automated AI trading
or any type of automation in terms of users setting up,
I suppose, prompts with AI or anything like that,
that's not something we're focused on.
So we're totally open to that type of collaboration.
Once the product is up and running,
you guys can come in and have a poke around
and see if there's some synergies there.
We're more than happy to explore that.
Yeah, definitely.
I'm happy to chat about that at a date where it makes sense.
And then, yeah, also we have like a meta aggregator,
so it could be interesting on that side as well,
depending on the strategies you want to implement
or if you want to do cross-chain strategies or anything like that.
You can implement like our meta aggregator API as well,
depending on where you want to go there.
So it could be another interesting area to chat about.
See?
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
That's what I'm talking about.
That's what I love about spaces.
People say what you want.
It's kind of buggy sometimes.
It gets a little weird in spaces.
But whenever I can get two projects in the same conversation to find a little common ground and some opportunity, you just never know what might happen.
We might see something here down the road that's like, Holy crap. I remember that space.
Those guys were talking about it and all of a sudden it's a,
it's live and people are just super exciting, excited about it. So, Hey.
Yeah, for sure.
Even if the velvet team, like, I know you guys do have some funds,
I think, or portfolio style, you could,
I'm not exactly sure how it works on your side,
but just thinking out loud, if you did have portfolios, you know, that people are using
or thinking about putting together, then yeah, you could use our smart contract infrastructure
to actually create those index portfolios. So those people are trading them.
And you can also set a fee for each index as well.
So every time someone deposits into your index or exits your index,
you can add a small fee on that so you can earn from them as well,
which you can use for all different other types of internal investment and things like that.
So, yeah, you can monetize off the indexes as well.
Yeah, definitely happy to chat about that.
We have a Vault product, so, yeah, happy to take a look
and see if it's something that maybe we want to switch over your info there.
That's sick, man.
Awesome.
Love to hear it.
Love to hear it.
Mav, if you want to pin anything up to the top, any call to action, make sure you do that while you're on the stage.
Yeah.
Let folks know where to go to find you guys.
Man, this is exciting, right?
Like, you know, Base has a lot to offer, I think, from, you know, from the DeFi sort of sector.
DeFi sort of sector, and I think that's pretty obvious.
And I think that's pretty obvious.
And so it's good to have you guys up here kind of telling us the rundown of what you're building
and excited to see if you guys can maybe cook something up together.
That'd be pretty neat.
Pretty cool to happen.
I can just add that to my resume.
Like, yep, during my spaces, this is what happens.
All right, so on that note, I got another exciting project I want to hear from.
I see we've got a few folks up on the stage.
We've got Perlabs.
We've got Be Original.
We've got Slick.
We've got, of course, the homie, the legend, the ticker up here.
I want to go to all you guys.
But before I do, we've got another scheduled guest I've got to get to that we're really excited.
We just added to the base cartel, OXAI.
Thanks for being patient.
If you want to hop in and just introduce yourself and tell us about
your product. Yeah, yeah, I know. Thanks for having us. But, you know, before I dig in here,
I got to admit I'm kind of drooling over here listening to these other guys here talk right
now. It's amazing the innovation that's going around right now. And, you know,
it makes me feel like I've wasted so much time on some other chains. You know, it's like, man,
you know, base is where it was at from the start, you know. So, you know, I mean, Zed,
I admit I haven't heard, but my daughter loves horses. She's like training to
take care of horses as well as train them.
I might have to send her over and start racing them, although she's only 13.
So it might not be appropriate yet.
Word of the wise, don't get a daughter into horses unless you have a lot of money to cover.
I was just about to say, I have a 14-year-old that does horses, and it's not a great decision, guys.
Just let them ride them for fun.
Don't let them start doing anything beyond that because it starts to get pretty crazy.
Right?
I know.
Fortunately, my neighbor's got the horses, and he's teaching her everything.
So right now, that's where it's staying, but she's pushing hard for her own.
But anyway, that's a topic for another day.
Velvet, though, I love the use of AI, though, what you're doing.
That's actually really, really innovative and cool.
There's a lot of talk about, you know, integrating AI into trade management, you know, into hedge and all those things.
So you guys are definitely in the right direction and right timing as well. So anyway, so that's Ox AI.
We're happy to be on base. That's where we built is on base. While at the same time, we're actually
also creating our own chain. So we're in test net right now, a test net phase on our chain right now.
And our main big focus is obviously AI.
We're fully AI as well as data privacy.
You know, as more and more people, you know, on ramp,
it's a big, it's always been a concern, data privacy, right?
But as more and more people on board, it's a bigger concern,
especially with you starting to integrate AI, right? But as more and more people on board, it's a bigger concern, especially with you starting to integrate AI, right? I mean, AI, how far it's come from where
it used to be to now, it's like it no longer just generates you a picture, right? It's like,
you know, almost anything and everything is possible with the use of AI. So the use for data
privacy is even bigger now than it was before. You know,
nobody wants, you know, their neighbor looking over the fence and watching, you know, exactly
where you bury your big, you know, stash of gold, right? So the same thing on chain, right? People,
people want a little more, a little more privacy with stuff. And so, like I said, right now,
And so, like I said, right now, we chose base.
Very, the base has been very welcoming to us, you know, and we chose base because of
its ease of use as well.
And we're very, very big on ease of use.
And that's what we're going for.
I often refer to Apple products.
You know, some people love them, some people hate them, but generally everyone agrees that
right out of the box, they're very, very easy to use, right? You just open it up, you flip it on,
turn it on. It's well laid out, right? That's what they were going for and they succeeded in it.
And that's what we're going for with Aux AI as well. We want to give everyone the tools they need
to, you know, not just explore the chain, you know, trade the token, but to build, you know, so we
want to give people right out of the box, easy tools that they can build, they can solve on-chain
problems, you know, you get the power of AI. Like I said, like that's, you know, it's come such a
long way. Along with that, I do want to mention that community-wise, right? Like, BASE has a really, really good community.
They've done a really good job on managing that community and the ecosystem.
And for us, as we build out our chain, which is, and we're interoperable, right?
So, you know, that goes beyond multi-chain.
So that basically allows, you know, tech stacks from various chains and protocols
to talk to each other seamlessly.
And that's, you know, sorry, I just got a, sorry.
But yeah, it allows the tech stacks
to seamlessly integrate with Aux AI
through our native AI hub.
Where was I going with that one there?
Lots of train of thought.
Hold on, give me a sec here.
Oh, you're good, man.
Hey, quick question while you're trying to catch that train.
So first of all, welcome to the cartel.
We're glad to have you on board
and excited to hear more about both what you're doing on base.
So you said you guys were
essentially doing your own chain so it's I assume it's EVM is it like a are you guys working on like
the sort of like what is it called the base app sort of base app chain type thing, or is it completely its whole new L1?
Or like, what are you guys doing?
Yeah, no, yeah, it's EVM.
So we're basically combining the L1
as well as the ZK for L2 as well.
You know, we're kind of combining
the best of both those worlds.
But yeah, I know we started
with the base stack, obviously. And so now we're
essentially dual layer. So we're dual layer powered by ZK technology, basically, it just
ensures seamless scalability, you know, high speed transactions for continual blockchain
growth, right? The sky's the limit with these with the integration so um
where are we at here um so i do want to touch on um like i mentioned a community right um back on
that train of thought a community the big one for us uh we've seen quite a few chains come pretty much almost go now because they never focused on community.
And BASE obviously has succeeded that way.
But community to us is a very important aspect of growth.
Without community, you got nothing.
It doesn't matter what tech you have.
It doesn't matter if you have the best chain in the world or the best projects. it doesn't matter if you have the, you know, the best chain in the world, or the best projects, it doesn't matter. If you don't build your community, and if you don't build
it properly and organically, you know, from the ground up, it won't matter. You know,
if no one's there to build, no one's there to use it, then it's pointless, right? So for us, that's our huge focus right now.
And we currently have our airdrop right now, which it's pretty generous.
We're airdroping 20% of the total supply.
It's basically geared toward users to encourage further growth in the ecosystem.
Very, very easy to participate. We make it very simple.
We have a MyPoints program.
So you hold our token,
you participate in the MyPoints program.
And like I said about ease of use,
right on our website,
you just head over to our website,
click on MyPoints, connect your wallet,
and it's very straightforward.
It lays out all the features there to test out
all the different functions of the AI.
You can test out all the different chats for the AI.
You can go ahead and input a audit.
You can check the audit of any contract
and it'll give you a rundown
of the audit you know if there's any red flags that sort of thing um ai agents so you can create
your own ai agent coming soon um yeah no like it's uh a lot of features that we have building
coming out right now and that's when i heard but listen to velvet, talk for a little bit there. And I was like, man,
you got definitely on the right track. That's AI is the future. Like I said,
and, uh, you know, we, a lot of people are scared of it and it's,
you got to embrace it, um, and work with it. You know, you,
you got to give AI the, you got to give AI enough space to learn,
um, and not confine it, but, you know, not give it free reign
to just run free either. Right. So, you know, that's our focus right now is to really,
is to really make ease of use. Allow, what's the word I'm looking for here? We want to make it easy
for users to onboard and use the products.
And that's our focus is to give them the best tools to,
to do just that.
I'm a little,
I'm a little bit now I'm a little bit concerned.
I'm pretty sure that giving,
giving AI its own blockchain might be how Skynet got started.
I don't know.
I'm a little worried.
That's true.
That's true.
Right.
That's true.
You got to give it a little bit of restrictions, but, but, but the problem is if you don't give it, we're heading in the way of, you know, machine learning. Right. I mean,
that, I mean, it's already there, but not now it's, it's, it's really, you know, a self-awareness.
Right. And it's a little bit, you know, Terminator vibes, of course, you know, it's a little bit you know terminator vibes of course you know it's like uh-oh what are
we doing but if you don't if you restrict it too much it will find a way to break out right you
have to keep it you have to keep it interested you got to keep it focused on um um you got to
keep it engaged right it's like putting something in a box. Nothing wants to
be in a box. It'll find a way to break free. So the same thing with AI, like it's going to adapt
and it's going to learn, but if you're, if you give it enough space, you know, it'll, it, it'll
do some tremendous things. If used properly, it, it, it'll do good. Right. And so, you know,
properly, it'll do good, right? And so, you know, we're embracing the change. We're not trying to
reinvent the wheel. We're just trying to enhance, give people a better experience at it. That's all.
If that makes sense, you know.
That's sick. Funk, you got any insight questions or feedback?
No, I think what stands out to me about the project is, in general, the focus
on community. I think that tech comes second, about the project is in general, the focus on community.
I think that tech comes second, man.
In this space, tech comes second because the audience is your marketing branch, your token holders, the community that you build in the Telegram.
Without them, you could be playing like Mozart to an empty room, right?
And so I really like that focus there and I hope
that pays off for you yeah exactly also easier said than done to build a community oh man is it
ever it definitely is you know I mean everybody wants um everybody wants everything but they're
not willing to give anything you know what I mean like it it's, it's, it, you know, and, and unfortunately they've learned it through quite a number of recent, you know, chains.
I won't name names, but I do have a list, but they weren't community focused and they literally took their, they farmed their, the farmers, they farmed the users, the test net users.
Right. And, and unfortunately left bad taste in their mouth.
And so now we're trying to change that narrative and be like you know what that's not us that's not who we were we were on those
chains and we we got played we got taken too you know and that's not the focus you know um
we've always been very transparent um we're very open about what we do um you know if anybody has
any questions you just come to our chat and ask.
You know, we're all in it.
The whole team's in there.
You know, devs are in there.
We're in there.
And we're very transparent in everything we do.
You know, trust is a huge, huge thing.
But, yeah, I think people have just got a bad taste in their mouth from quite a number of recent chains that have just really taken advantage of,
you know, the fake community promises, right? So.
Very good. So would you mind, just because one of the reasons we do spaces is we want to give,
we want to give folks a chance to hear, you know, from the founders and like kind of get to know
them a little bit. Could you give us any insight to your team, yourself, kind of get to know them a little bit could you give us any uh insight to
your team yourself uh kind of who's behind who's behind the scenes and um maybe give us a little bit of sort of alpha there on on what we could expect yeah no um so i mean i've i think most of
our team um myself especially you know we've been, you know, since 2017 in this, in the crypto space,
you know, at the time we were all the best traders in the world, right? We all wrote our bags to the
moon and then, you know, we watched it come crashing down and gave it all back. Right. So,
you know, we've come a long way since then, but you know, but yeah, no, like I've been in this space since 2017 as a trader, myself personally, I have a couple of other projects as well right now.
You know, we, a couple of us on the team have, you know, we've built a few other projects on some chains.
Unfortunately, we got taken advantage of, like, like I said, partially our, you know, we should have opened our eyes, what was happening sooner, you know,
communities wreck and stuff. But fortunately, you know, we,
we built a nice community of people who continue to follow us and believe in
us and know that what we're about. So as far as on the dev side,
we're, we are pretty stacked, I would say, you know,
we are, we have blockchain engineering, Web3 devs. We have some more
specialized members in specifically the AI development as well as full stack devs.
Yeah, in the back end, I think we're pretty solid in the back end, what we're capable of
building and doing. And right now oh can you hear me yeah we can
hear you oh you can okay one of my one of my mics just uh or one of my headphones earpieces just
turned off so i thought maybe i lost y'all no i think i think you haven't hit it there i want to
make sure people understand like it's a whole launching tokens and and or like launching nft
projects i mean it's there's a lot to it. But when it comes to like building your own sort of blockchain there,
like that's a heavy feat.
It's not like a, hey, let's just go launch a chain kind of decision to make.
No, definitely not.
A lot goes into that, right?
And the people that are building it,
it's extremely important for us to understand like kind of what types of engineering and what kind of people are working on that.
So I think that's incredibly – it's good to hear you've got a good stack team.
I assume for those that are interested in learning more about
what you guys are building and how you're going about it,
there's a place they could go?
Yeah, absolutely.
Like I said, just hit us up on our Telegram
channel. You'll find the links on our, on our website, probably pin or put up the, our Telegram
channel there. But yeah, like I said, like we're pretty open if people want to learn more, like to
share it with the community as well, because other people sometimes don't like asking. They, you know,
maybe some people are shy about asking or don't know what to ask and they're just following along in the in the group so uh definitely you know come into the into our
telegram community and ask away ask any question you want and uh one of us will have the answer
may not all have the the answer but one of us will have the answer someone's looking for i'm sure
very good does anyone anyone else have any questions comments or feedback for
oxai before we go on to the next speaker i just personally would love to learn more about the ai
feature later on i know that's something that's coming up but um i'm very fascinated with that
and i'll dm you this is really cool like to have that feature coming up oh awesome yeah definitely
definitely definitely send dm for sure i just wanted to add the reason
why is because i get um i i go to different projects and they always ask me there's always
a common thing like i wish i had an ai there was like a sleep mode so that way i could just like
kind of like i do my work during the day or set things up but then when i go to sleep like i wake
up and things are happening you know that way they could like be 24 7 not have a fatigue or
have burnout so i think it's real so that was they could like be 24 7 not have a fatigue or have burnout so i think
it's real so that was interesting sounds like severance no dude i need that i need actually
no i don't need that i i need i don't need someone to like help me out when i'm sleeping i need
someone to help me out when i'm awake right i need that ai to come in the whole 24-7 for me because I don't
trust myself at all.
Full-on companion.
Yes, it's a setting.
My setting is 24-7, thanks.
No, very cool.
Man, this has been a great space so far. We heard from
some wonderful projects.
Gaming, DeFi, we got all kinds
of indexes, we got agentic
trading, we got motherfuckers building blockch we got agentic trading we got on we got
building blockchains shoot these folks a follow make sure you're following everybody that's up
here i mean we want to we want to support the builders on base and you heard from some great
ones tonight we got a lot of other folks up here uh to speak tonight i'm going to make sure everyone
gets a chance to uh to share so uh hang out for a little longer but i think we've gotten through our
our sort of like
planned oh no there was one more i invited him up here where would he go uh bit cloud if you can hear
us uh request up and we'll get you a chance to talk i know you guys signed up for the space so
if you're available we'd love to hear what you're building um if not hang around we'll come back to
you um i'm gonna try to remember the order for
first of all the ticker has to go first because the ticker is like our weekly
guest every week we got it this is a cartel homie so he's been waiting
patiently although you did say you were gonna like take a break on spaces I see
you're right back up here again you couldn't stay away uh what's going on man it's like drugs i swear man
that's what we do we do a couple spaces it's just like drugs so i told hey i went around to a couple
of telegrams uh when i planned the space and i said hey bring your friends bring bring drugs
or energy drinks energy drinks are fine too if you don't do drugs or tea. I don't know. But what's going on, man?
It's good to see you guys. I'm actually the lead dev of the Lightspeed project, but the ticker is actually my kind of like artistic side, just because I like to express myself. And I've been music on Zora for the last probably two or three weeks.
And the call to action that I'm going to give actually tonight is not to,
you know, run out and buy my Zora tokens or anything like that.
I'd actually like to ask people to check out the YouTube playlist that I've
made and just like the songs that, you know,
if you like them sort of thing, like just give it some views,
give it some likes because I'm actually looking to make like an album of all
the music that I've made,
but certain songs might not make it in and other songs might make it in.
And the general theme of it, it's not actually like a specific genre of music.
It's, it's actually all about crypto and kind of like crypto culture and like degen culture and like trading culture and just like a whole bunch
of different things um and uh in the end i'm actually gonna make like an on-chain album
that is actually going to be a separate token that's not live yet so don't like feel like
you're missing out or anything like that but that's's where I'm at at the moment. I'm expressing myself artistically as a way to sort of get outside of my head,
you know, around the Lightspeed project.
Like we're doing some pretty cool stuff with it at the moment.
Like we're working with like Chainlink engineers and stuff
and doing some pretty big stuff.
But every now and again, I need to like escape that
and like just listen
to music and like work on music and stuff like that because it's just fun um but yeah check out
our youtube um the ones that get the most likes will end up in the the album that we're that we're
gonna release i just want to say i think it's actually really good good that you're doing this
because um i mean we talk about this.
We've talked about it a few times over the past year.
I think it's been like a year now since the first time you guys came through one of my spaces.
And, you know, I remember early on it was like you got kind of frustrated, I think,
because, you know, the product, the things that you guys, that you've built and your team has built
are always so far ahead of where everyone is currently
at that people kind of get like confused or scratching their heads. And then of course,
like six months to a year later, you know, you see other projects doing it and it's got to get
frustrating. I know to kind of go through that, but you know, it's good because you're going to
step out, you're going to get in that more like creative mindset, have some fun with it, you know,
and then maybe you're going to see something in that process that's like, you know what?
Maybe we do need to change up a little bit of some of the stuff that we're cooking over here and do it a little different.
Nothing wrong with that.
In fact, I think that's a very mature, kind of wise thing to do, so I'm happy to hear you're doing that.
And I'm waiting for that bass cartel song.
I saw you were working on one, so maybe we'll get something going on that and but uh you know i'll vote yes for that one but
yeah i think um for the bass cartel song i might need like a bit of input from the bass cartel
itself so that i can actually capture the culture of the cartel um because like i can i can write a
song for it but like if it doesn't resonate with
you guys then there's no point in doing it right so if if people have ideas or they like want to
specifically like you know add their project into the song or something like that like generally
like what i've been doing is not really like specific to projects like we did we did do a
lightspeed song but all the other songs are like just sort of generalized because we're actually
trying to like target everybody in crypto and
like everybody who's you know really into um the crypto culture and stuff like that um but uh for
the cartel specifically i could see some like uh name drops and stuff like that yeah you might drop
a few names but i think you know the the concept is cartel over cabal right that's that's the i
think that's the the feel for the song like we song. We do this stuff together.
We may all be separate, but we still work together.
We're much stronger as projects and founders and creators working together
than a few guys in a group chat trying to cabal it up.
So yeah, I think Cartel Over Cabal would be a good theme for a song. Awesome, man. Well, I'm glad to hear you're doing that. Good to, good to step outside
of your head for a bit sometimes and just have fun. Lord knows I need that. I'm going to be
taking a vacation here in June. So I'm looking forward to that. I need to get the hell out of
here. I got to get the hell out of here, man. Got to take a vacation.
But all right.
So the ticker, we got the cartel projects in.
We got the signed projects. We have actually Big Cloud up here who is also on the agenda tonight.
So I don't know how familiar our spaces.
If you need us to assist you in anything, let us know.
But you got your microphone unmuted, So I think that's step one.
What is going on? BitCloud, how are you doing?
Hey, thanks for having me on, man. Yeah, I'm an old person on here.
I actually haven't been on since like 2019.
So, yeah, I'm here. I mean, it took me a minute.
I had to like enable some settings in my like on the app and everything.
It was just a bunch of stuff. Anyways, yeah, I'm the name is Cody.
I'm the CEO and co-founder of AI Illuminate and the sub company along with it, Light Studios, which focuses on the products that are created by AI Illuminate.
And I guess you guys can kind of imagine AI Illuminate as a suite, sort of like Adobe, but it's all AI tooling.
And right now, we're kind of focusing on the game development cycle because we can inherently hit a lot of other domains by focusing on game development acceleration because it's one of the most complex types of development you can do.
So, yeah.
I don't have my – I'm not on like the main account right now,
so you guys can check out
ailluminate.net.
It's a pretty simple site right now
because we're still in a
kind of a pre-alpha phase
where we have like
strategic partners right now
who are, you know,
giving us input
and we're fixing things.
We're adding to our technical debt
to make sure it's
the best
come like TGE
where we can kind of
open it up to the participants.
Yeah, this is super early alpha for those of you who are interested in AI and kind of, you know, tooling and whatnot.
You know, definitely connect with BitCloud.
And do you have anything you could I don't know if you got anything you can even pin up right now, but if not, just just hit the DMs, I guess.
Does that sound right?
Yeah, I mean, you guys can reach out whenever, like anyone.
I'm on Telegram.
I'll figure out a way to share that information with everyone.
I'm on, like I said, I'm like a little person on here.
But so, yeah.
We call those boomers over here.
So he's saying he's a ex boomer i guess
it's all good dude no uh yeah tell us you want to kind of break down some of the different
sort of products that you guys are offering and then um yeah we don't have to pin anything up
just uh follow this dude and uh follow what he's building man i think that's probably the best
best call to action there but yeah tell us some of the products you guys have.
So the main product is the flagship suite.
It's all like a desktop, all desktop applications.
And it's all private, so you can run it offline.
So you're on an airplane, you can still get your job done,
still doing all the acceleration stuff.
And it doesn't collect any information from you.
So I don't judge what people do with AI,
but you can be pretty you know, like, I don't, I don't judge what people do with AI, but you can,
you can be pretty private with, uh, with Flare, which is our first product, uh, which is basically just kind of a drop-in replacement for GPT. It'll do your code and, um, and, you know, just general
chat. Like, if you want to ask it to plan your business, it could do that. You know, if you want
to ask it to give you hints about, you know, how do I build a game studio? It can help you do that, too.
And then it can help you write the code as well.
And then you have Prism, which can basically, it'll write all your posts for all your social medias and things like that.
But it also has agents built in to allow you to continuously post and do things while you're asleep.
You can set personalities and build characters out for your community.
And maybe if you're working on a game,
you can go ahead and characterize
one of your characters in your game. Just have them
roam around the chats in your
Telegram or Twitter or
Discord or something similar. We're working on
all the other social media
platforms that we can find because it's
relatively straightforward for us now to add more.
Then you have
optics, which is going to be your image creation, your 3D creation.
You can go from text.
You can create your 3D objects for your games and stuff like that.
You do sprites for your 2D games, whatever you need.
And then Daydream will write your story.
Daydream will write your story.
We're going to have a composer element to it, too.
So if you need to chain together your own type of build process,
you can have that kind of done sort of a pseudocode kind of way,
like block coding, but AI-powered for you to kind of control
all of your development cycle.
And then also write, of course, like I said, the game story.
If you want to write a book, it'll probably be capable of writing
a whole book at some point here soon,
once we can dedicate a few more resources into it. And then you have cut
scene, which is the final tool on there, which will do the voice, the sound effects, and the
video. It's our last product that'll come out for alpha because it is just so heavy, right? It's
taking a lot to optimize. These things require a lot, and we're trying to scale them in a way to
where they'll run on the average consumer computer without taking a lot of cuts.
That's pretty sick, man. Anything you can elaborate on around maybe, like, you know, you mentioned, like, there's a token coming and all that.
So is there anything you want to touch on with that, or should we just kind of wait and see?
touch on with that or should we just kind of wait and see?
Yeah. So, I mean, the token, the read though, I mean,
the whole point behind the token is to allow people to, you know,
pay for the subscription or the cloud credits, you know,
and also sell back the tokens or something that they don't use on the,
you know, back to the secondary market, back to the DEX,
possibly even the primary market if we open up some sort of OTC for it.
But yeah, that it'll allow you to, you could pay your membership,
you could pay for cloud credits, or you can use, you know, fiat.
But I know a lot of people in this space would prefer just to kind of send the credits in.
We have a system that we're going to put in place on all of our partner chains
where the, you know, the user can pay ahead of time.
They could pay up for a year.
You could pay 10 years ahead of time.
It doesn't matter. You'll get a large discount for the further you pay in so
you'll essentially you can get you know a lot of value out of out of this it'll be the pricing right now is set for you know 20 usd a month which is um on you know on par with what
most of the other tools are charging except for the fact that you know they don't generally offer
such a large vast array of things.
So we're hoping that we can just continuously compound value onto that
subscription model and kind of like hoard tokens and run buybacks and burn
stuff and just, you know, see how far we can take it as far as the token side.
Awesome, man. Any call to action that you want to put up? Is there anything else that you want to kind of make sure that folks know about
the project? Or is there anything else that you can, maybe some alpha that you can share with us
that people can look at? Yeah, I mean, if I could figure out how to share it right here, man, I
would definitely do that. But, you know, I think if everyone just stays tuned, you'll be hearing a lot more of us. We're going to be getting a lot louder. We have a lot's good for everybody. And it should really keep you safe.
I don't really trust a lot of these big cloud people.
You know, what they say about the cloud people, man.
Wait, wait, wait.
But you're big.
Oh, you're big cloud.
So that's not a regular cloud.
It's a small amount, yeah.
All good.
All good, brother.
Well, you know, first of all, you know, my homie Christian is the one that put me on to you guys, and I'm glad that we connected. And I look forward to seeing, you know, I've seen a little bit of the behind the scenes stuff happening there. And it sounds like you've got a really nice product being built. And, you know, you're kind of just putting the finishing touches on it. And we all look forward to seeing what's coming.
So shoot this dude a follow.
If you're interested in AI, you're building,
if you're doing gaming or any other sort of AI related projects,
this is definitely someone you want to pay attention to.
And thank you for hanging out all night, man, and coming up.
Absolutely, man.
Thank you for having me.
And also, I think you're an alpha participant right now.
So I think you have access to everything,
which will be everyone's case here soon.
Yeah, I've got a little extra insight
into what's happening there.
But I'm trying to be coy and let you do your thing, man.
But exciting stuff, just thinking about tooling and, you know, who's looking to build something
in this AI sort of direction.
And, you know, you definitely want to tap in and find the folks that got the picks and
shovels and put some support on that, whether you're actually doing it or you're just looking
to support it from a project side.
Either way, definitely something to pay attention to.
So, yeah, on that note, thanks again for coming through.
We've now officially, I think, hit all the projects that were planned.
We heard from the ticker.
We got Perlabs up here.
We got Slick who's hanging out the whole night.
I want to hear from Slick.
I want to shoot it over to Perlabs.
I think you've got another event you got to get into here shortly. So I want to make sure we get you in tonight.
Perlabs, been a little bit since we've chatted. What's going on over there?
Yeah, I appreciate you, brother. I was going to ask how you're doing, but from what you said
earlier, you need a vacation like all of us right now. I need to. Everyone's like, are you in Dubai?
I'm like, I wish I was in Dubai right now.
I'm in a pharmacy right now trying to yell at this.
This grandma's like yelling at me about her meds and stuff.
That's hilarious.
Yeah, Tyler from our team is over at Dubai right now having a blast.
I mean, what you're able to do in person as a project is like pretty amazing. I think like IRL events, this cycle have been
a lot, a lot better than previous cycles in terms of just like people that are actually building
stuff, you know, coming together and like being able to kind of sift through, you know, some of
the vapor that's in the space, you know, for lack of a better term. So yeah, we're pretty excited
with what we're rolling out. Yeah, ProLabs, we're a next generation entertainment company.
We're building interconnected physical and digital experiences,
starting with our favorite CAD on base, Mr. Miggles.
We are licensing Miggles directly from Coinbase.
The team itself at ProLabs,
I mean, we're just community members
that came together for that CTO,
really trying to build a brand around Mr. Miggles.
Part of that is actually creating utility,
physical, digital experiences around that.
And that could be replicated
for other projects as well you know
essentially it's very important for as you know as projects that have communities to actually
build something that the community can enjoy you know there's there's a lot of value in
trading tools and other you know blockchains and all this stuff but really like what we need is
to bring in the users you know kind of like really tap into what we've you know, blockchains and all this stuff. But really, like, what we need is to bring in the users, you know,
kind of like really tap into what we've, you know,
been saying for all these cycles of, like, you know, bring in the normies.
You know, it was gaming was a big one that was pushed.
And now that's actually coming to fruition, I feel, this cycle.
There are a lot of games that are coming out that are having, you know,
more seamless experiences to bring on more of that are having, you know, more seamless experiences to bring on
more of the average users, you know, the folks that don't, won't connect to wallet. I mean,
I know when I connect to a blockchain game personally, you know, it asked me to connect
to wallet. My first thought is, oh, I don't know you, like, I don't know, are you going to drain
my wallet? So I think it's very important for games to really kind of have that abstraction.
And ultimately, like the user shouldn't have to know or care that there's blockchain,
anything under the hood. So that's kind of like our thesis and how with Miggles, we're actually
pretty excited to be releasing smart toys and smart collectibles as well as smart fashion that will be connected to
digital experiences. So we just got into the third web startup program where we're putting up our
finishing touches on the Miggles dashboard, which is essentially going to be like a souped up
arcade that is connected to those physical toys and physical products.
So, yeah, pretty exciting.
I think by actually creating these – sorry, it's a little loud over here.
There's a little motorcycle driving by me.
Are you on a playground?
I'm trying to figure out where you're at, dude.
It's so funny.
I'm actually in – I don't know if you guys have, yeah, I'm actually in San Francisco right now.
I'm at Dolores Park.
It's like beautiful blue skies and just, you know, just been grinding all day and just, you know, sitting and relaxing.
And I saw that you were having the space and I wanted to hop on and share some fun stuff with everyone.
That's awesome, dude.
No, we all, we're all like, dude, what are you doing, man?
You're on a space in the middle of a beautiful park.
Go ahead, man.
Sorry.
Go, continue.
So, yeah, so the presale for the toys will be coming out soon.
You know, the Miggles team, Pearl Labs team, we're going to be at Vegas Licensing Expo in May, sharing a massive booth with the likes of Disney, Marvel, UFC, and some other big brands.
You know, the Miggles team, Pearl Labs team,
we're going to be at the Vegas Licensing Expo in May,
And ultimately, like, that's kind of, you know, I think it's important in the future we're moving into is, you know, these IPs actually having more power, you know, like giving power to the creator, right? You know, IP isn't just these like massive brands.
Like IP, it comes from, you know, the small creators that are trying to get discovered,
the musicians, the artists, the builders.
So being able to actually give that exposure, let them be discovered and create that kind
of programmable IP where people are able to get paid for the work that people enjoy from them in a more like direct way rather than going through the you know the Spotify's of
the world who just take I don't even want to know like 99% of everything that comes in through that
platform so there's yeah I think there's a lot of power and I think base is the place for us to really see that, especially with kind of how Coinbase ultimately with their wallet, new wallet experience.
Like I kind of think of it as they're building basically like a new OS and all these mini apps and apps that we build on there.
You know, they're essentially just like in an app store.
You know, they're essentially just like in an app store.
So having that seamless experience that's directly connected to the socials through
Warpcast and wallets and all that fun stuff, like, I think finally this cycle and going
into the next cycle, we're actually finally seeing, we're going to see that mass adoption. And that ultimately does come from these basically onboarding products that do kind of bring in the average user.
I know that was a lot.
I don't know if you have any questions.
I mean, we're cooking up a lot more, but that's the most immediate stuff that we'll be rolling out over the next couple months.
No, no, that is amazing.
First of all, having, you know, having, you know, the IP sort of like, you know, focus is something that's really exciting.
I think I've been chatting a lot about, you know, IP with different founders and different folks on the back end.
And I'm like, okay, well, I feel like, you know, there's different metas.
We talked about that sort of the top of the space, I think, before you got here.
And, like, there's different sort of focuses that kind of draw, you know, liquidity and, like, attention.
And, you know, I feel like IP is one of those things that's always been a cornerstone of what we're trying to figure out, whether it be NFTs or meme coins or whatever it is that we're building.
I think there's like sort of like two different factors.
Like one is like outside IP coming into the space and then there's like homegrown IP from within the space and like how are we going to tackle all these things.
the space and like how are we going to tackle all these things and you know per labs has been
really really hyper focused on you know how they can how they can solve some of those friction
points and i think that's uh you know really exciting to hear that you guys have been approaching
things and you know obviously the team is well traveled well connected uh networking getting in
deep with you know various different um you know well-known brands and entities and again, both within and outside of, uh, you know, the on-chain economy.
So definitely cool to hear, you know, the update on what, where you guys are at, man.
Yeah, I really appreciate it. Um, you know, ultimately I think like Bonk and Pudgy, um,
ultimately I think like bonk bonk and pudgy um have kind of led the way uh with you know ultimately
like utility being very important for the longevity of a project like like you can you know
like attention attention is one way for all you know ultimately like for lack of a better term
price to go up but um you know having actual utility where the token is used in
an ecosystem, you know, kind of like what we've always wanted all these years. Like, I think we
are seeing that more with, with projects realizing that, um, you know, Bonk is a good example with
them doing bonk.fun and, and really all the other ways that they're able to consume the token,
burn it, um, have it as a sort of reward for their community, building that flywheel is important for any ecosystem.
I mean, like even like the U.S. dollar, it's ultimately like you need to have those mechanisms in place for an economy to sustain itself.
to sustain itself.
100%, man.
No, I'm glad you guys are taking the lead on that.
And again, you know, it's actually one of those topics
that we could do a whole space around, you know,
what happened with Miggles and, like, the CTO
and then the evolution, the people that stepped in.
Really good case study for projects in general.
Like if you've been in the space for a while and just watching the sort of like maturation of the team and like the growth.
They've done things that, you know, most of these other projects would just dream of.
other projects would just dream of like now now look at where you guys are at the opportunity in
Like now look at where you guys are at, the opportunity in front of you.
front of you i'm glad you did kind of touch on you know bonk and and and of course uh what you're
seeing now with i mean just look at look at where uh pudgy penguin started and then where they are
now and and and they're probably i know there's different arguments for different you know nft
collections or different tokens that have done different things but they're probably one of the best studies you know whether you like uh luca or
not whatever your opinion is but as far as accomplishing things and making things happen
and now literally uh you know he has his own chain and you know everything that they're doing there
great example and you're seeing a similar thing happen here with Miggles on base. You guys have continuously done everything you can to take your opportunity and make the best of it,
and I think people need to pay attention to that.
The Smart Toys is actually really interesting.
It's an interesting approach.
It's not the only thing.
I know that you guys are focused on at Perlaps,
but I think that's a very interesting approach.
And that's probably, again, similar to what, not exactly the same thing that we saw from Pudgy,
but it's kind of a similar kind of feel.
So I'm really interested to see how that plays out and kind of the adoption on that side
and how that goes.
As far as that, by the way uh the the
specifically around the smart toys what's can you guys can you give everybody kind of a little
better understanding on what that is and how that how that's going to play out yeah totally um so
kind of our our like founders launch is going to be uh miggles blind boxes so there's going to be
to be Miggles blind boxes. So there's going to be essentially five different versions of Miggles
with one being the rarest. I won't get into like what, like basically the designs of those yet,
because we are still, we're going to announce that, but essentially they will be small little.
Is he gone?
No, I think the mic's just
Oh, I'm here
Yeah, so I don't know where I left off
My mic did turn off for a second
But essentially
The inaugural
Founders toys
Are going to be
Or collectibles
Are going to be these blind boxesibles, you know, for some are going to be these, uh,
blind boxes, uh, with five different versions of Miggles. Um, I won't talk about like the exact
design yet, cause we're going to announce that. Uh, but they are key chains, key chain plushy,
uh, plushes that, um, connect to, yeah, like people, um, especially in, in Asia, but the,
the, that is kind of moving to the west as well people being able to
showcase kind of yeah basically just showcase something fun on their like expensive like
backpacks and bags and things like that or not expensive but I think it does become kind of this
fashion symbol so that's why I say like toy collectible, because it could be both.
A great example is like Labubu is made a billion dollars this year purely off of one design for keychains. So there's a big demand for kind of these IPs in this like travel sort of collectible.
And then you can do fun stuff with that, with like geofencing,
and you can do all kinds of really cool physical and digital experiences
based off of proximity and things like that.
But that's for a later discussion.
And then those essentially connect to our dashboard
where the actual digital twin of the toy
could be mapped out and spanned out across different games.
And then you could also have the cosmetics of that toy also as cosmetics across different games.
So kind of like that whole metaverse promise that was promised to us a long time ago,
we're starting to tackle that by having assets that do span across different games.
So, yeah, that's essentially...
And then there's other things that get unlocked as well.
The dashboard itself isn't just going to be games.
There's going to be other things that...
Other kind of, like, other utility for video, music,
swapping, and things like that.
That's pretty sick, man. Before I do go on, I know we got a few more folks that want to speak.
Can you remind me, like, kind of, or give us an update on, I know there was, like, a sort of,
like, a creator's fund that was being put together. Is that still something that people can look into,
or is that, what's going on with that yeah so the
creator fund is something that we're going to kick off as soon essentially as soon as revenue
starts to flow in through many different kind of miggles revenue streams so 30 percent of
miggles physical revenue goes directly into a creator fund, which we will then disperse
in different ways to creators within the base ecosystem and our kind of overall ecosystem.
So essentially, like, yeah, we'll do a lot of things around like content creation, music
creation, art creation, building mini apps, things like that.
And then that is fed directly from Mingle's Revenue.
All right.
Very cool, man.
Well, again, I appreciate you for coming through tonight and sharing everything you guys got
cooking over there.
Hopefully you're enjoying your time at the park.
Absolutely.
My other, when you said
I had another engagement, it's my dog
sitting over here looking at me like
I'm an asshole.
That's what we're all thinking.
We're all thinking, man, why is this guy sitting at the park
talking on Twitter's faces? Come on, man.
I want to say what connected
to me really quick on what you're saying.
I love the fact that you have already thought about IP,
but also connecting audience and giving them attention to it.
Because a lot of people, like, they build products, they build IP,
they take a long time to do it, or they figure things out,
but then they have no attention, no audience,
no way of actually expressing or showcasing that IP.
And that's really important for the fact that you actually mentioned that.
And they actually thought that first, like that's one of your priorities.
That's something that's really special because a lot of,
I guess back then when people were building,
they were so busy building and figuring it out and also developing what's
going on in blockchain and with cultures and with communities that they didn't
have all the behaviors figured out.
But now people coming from like the studios, the agencies, the structured things, you know,
like I really appreciate, like you mentioned Pudgy Pennington, like that whole structure
is corporate and not on a negative side, but like it has an understanding of there's a
process of beginning, middle, end of producing things.
And if you don't do it the right way, you miss out on things.
It's almost like making a feature film.
You go independent and you could kind of show, I mean, just run and gun it.
But if you don't do the theatrical, cinematic proper steps,
you lose a lot of the essence if you don't go through that process.
So anyway, just wanted to shout that out.
Yeah, I mean, really well said.
I mean, that's ultimately what it comes down to is by doing the opposite approach and focusing on existing community that is built around an IP.
And, you know, crypto is best for that where you have these amazing communities that kind of flow in and take on an IP, which is, you know, a meme.
And take on an IP, which is a meme, and love it and are creating content for it and just having a good time.
But then ultimately, if a bear market comes, a lot of people end up selling and leaving.
It could become toxic.
So being able to actually keep these communities together, make them stronger is very powerful, not just from
their standpoint, but also for building up that IP into something that becomes bigger than purely
just something in crypto, right? Yeah, 100. And especially when you actually got another good
point there. It's when the projects kind of quote unquote fade out or the energy fades out it's because a the products that was promised by the project leaders or the i or the or the
project itself they didn't deliver on the promises which is physical products or hybrid products or
things that they just put on the roadmap but then they didn't really think that you know how to
distribute the the earnings and stuff like that so for that fact that you already have that in play in the beginning, it shows a lot.
So that's really appreciated.
I appreciate that.
I like this
B original guy. I'm going to have to have you
in another space.
Yeah, those were bangers. I love that.
Yeah, you're going to have to hang around.
All right. So
Perlabs, the Legends,
the Miggles team.
I think what you guys have done over there, again,
I think I already threw a lot of flowers out earlier, but love to see it.
We're really excited to see what's next. I think a lot of people are kind of, you know, with the market and everything happening,
we're expecting some big things from the Miggles token itself.
You know, I'm thinking they've got to be, I know you can't say it,
but they've got to be next, right?
They've got to be one of the next ones to get listed.
So hopefully that's the case.
Looking forward to it as a longtime holder and supporter.
Perlabs, definitely make sure you guys are all shooting them a follow.
Pay attention to what they're doing because it's, like I said, it's a big deal, man.
Yeah, I'll say just last kind of plug, just go to perlabs.io,
and there's a little sign up there.
Just throw your email in there.
We're going to start sending out information on the presale
and just all that fun stuff over the next month or so. So yeah,
there's going to be, I'd say it's going to, there's going to be like limited, limited drops
that you might want to jump on. And then little alpha miggles.io is also, there's a little
reworking there on the website. So there's going to be some fun stuff, especially focused around
building up, yeah, building up the base community and just all blockchain communities in general because we do live in this interoperable world, or at least that's how it should be.
Outstanding. Are you going to be at the OnChain Summit in August?
Yeah, we'll be there. We're not sponsoring because we're just for all the releases, we're being very, very tight
on our money, but we will definitely be there
and we'll definitely connect.
Outstanding, man. Well, I'll be there. Definitely need
to connect there. Again,
appreciate you coming through. Thanks for stopping in
tonight. It's always good to have
some folks show up and
tell us what's going
on. I got a few
others I got to get to. We got to get to Slick.
Slick's been hanging out for over an hour on stage.
Hopefully you got a few new followers from that.
But at the same time, I see on your timeline you got some stuff you want to probably talk about.
So feel free, man.
It's your mic, dude.
Yes, sir.
Just been hanging out and vibing.
Heard a lot of pretty cool projects.
I want to say thank you to you for, you know, letting me up on stage.
And, you know, thanks for hosting these spaces and giving all of these base projects, you know, a platform to really tell people what they're building.
So I think it's spaces like this that really push us forward and allow creators to get their products out.
So, appreciate that.
So, I am one of the co-founders of RealFun.
And just to kind of explain what we're building, why we're building it, I'll just kind of give you a little bit of background. So for the past few months, me and my team have set out on this mission to make meme
coins and or the process of tokenizing anything and bringing it on chain, something that is
safe, fair, transparent, and easy for anybody to do the right way.
With this mission, we have developed our first product
with several features, safeguards, transparency tools,
et cetera, to really help reset or shift the standard
that we today hold token launches to.
At the core of our first product is really exposing
deployer intent and protecting market participants.
We've developed this thing called token trust scores, which display an analysis of all of our features implemented,
different safeguards enabled, and deployer on-chain reputation scores to really make it easy for anybody,
reputation scores to really make it easy for anybody, whether you're a crypto native person
or not, to understand that deployers intent.
We've made it essentially just as easy to launch a token the quote unquote right way
as it has been to launch the wrong way.
Our systems ensure that deployers cannot immediately rug, that those in massive profits due to
early buy-ins cannot cascade the chart disproportionately.
And the main thing I kind of like to highlight is that we've eliminated the worst case scenario
of one person running away with everything and leaving everybody else with nothing.
I think that happens way too often in crypto.
So I just kind of like that quote.
It resonates with me.
Our first product is only the start.
We have a wide vision for what we are going to build into this ecosystem.
We'd love to, you know, obviously invite anybody on board with us
who shares the same vision that we do.
And that's really that token launches, meme coins, and basically everything happening on chain should be safe.
And it should protect, you know, those participating in our space.
Otherwise, I don't think, you know, maybe we might not onboard the masses and the bad guys will keep winning.
We have a strong focus on really wanting to set a new standard.
You know, the big thing about crypto is no regulation.
You know, we don't want the feds in, etc.
We're vibing.
But the reality is that we're not vibing.
You know, 90% of people are losing all their money.
Everybody, there's zero accountability,
there's zero transparency.
And we really want to fix a lot of these issues.
And we think that it comes from the start,
from token launches.
And we're really excited to release our platform
for everybody to test and kind of prove our concept.
We just opened the Discord today.
We just went live.
We are live on base.
The password's 2025 if anyone wants to check it out.
Real.fun.
I'm not sure how to post to the Jumbotron.
Otherwise, I would.
But, yeah, that's kind of a good overview of what we're doing. All right.
Before you teach
him how to pin something up i gotta ask questions all right don't teach him yet we'll show you how
to do it but before you do are you a fed i am not a fed okay everybody just i know everybody
was like okay come on this guy's a fed i'm just kidding man you're gonna assign scores you're
gonna assign scores to us now we can't how am i gonna make
any money bro like if i'm a serial launcher i'm launching stuff every day now you're gonna call
me out like come on man who's gonna so i actually want to elaborate on that so that's actually a
really cool piece that we think's going to build out and develop with what we're building. So what we're calling this is a deployer economy. So, you know,
wallets or people that do obtain high reputation scores, you know, obviously a serious project
that doesn't have a deployer wallet is going to want to launch, you know, through a high rep
wallet. So in theory, there could be a whole economy that essentially monetizes being a good actor and
you know really you could make money off of being a good deployer so what I need to do since you're
not a fit is I need to hit you up on the back end and be like can you just jack my score up really
high anytime anytime per labs wants to launch a shit coin they can come to me and I'll say all
right you can use my wallet this time but you you got to pay me. You got to pay me X amount. I love it, dude. I love it. I can definitely
make that happen. No, no, I'm just kidding around. But so you got, you're building some tooling
around some of the things that I think a lot of people have been asking for. You know, I think
that's good to hear. It's really refreshing to see that you're building something to help protect us, right?
Like, to your point, I think it's probably higher than 90%.
It's a very significant number of people on sort of like pump fund type launch pads that lose.
Very few people actually make money on those unless they just get, you know, lucky, right?
So very good to hear.
It's very early early it sounds like so for those of you that are
you know interested make sure you you know caveat do your own research check it out poke around my
question is though is this is serious so as a deployer like how do we make money from like okay
like is there a fee share like how do you guys help the deployers if if
they can't rug people like how are we supposed to make money so number one is just through providing
sustainability right so the way that our vaults work in you know in the future actually very soon
they're going to be highly modular i just had a call with the team that's really handling and working on our vaulting system.
And it's absolutely blew my mind, the capabilities that are going to come with our vaults.
But, you know, to answer your point, it's sustainability.
So, you know, I was explaining this to somebody today.
I'm a deployer.
I launch a coin.
It absolutely rips.
I have two options, right?
I can, you know, sell, send the coin to zero, take my 10, 20, $30,000 and run, you know,
new wallet next launch, move on. What's our sustainability, you know, that kind of comes
from our vaults is instead of doing that, let's give you a cliff schedule,
right? Let's give you 30 days to validate your idea. And then after these 30 days,
you know, you can set the unlock period. So say that's 100 days and it unlocks every single day.
So you're going to get 1% of token supply unlocked every single day. All of the bonding curve buys are subjected to that same vaulting schedule.
So instead of that 10, 20, 30, you know, thousand dollar poll, sending it to zero, ending the project,
you can grow that project and, you know, sell 1% or maybe you don't sell, but say you're wanting to take profits,
sell 1% or maybe you don't sell, but say you're wanting to take profits, sell that 1% per day
over 100 days. And that 1%, if you grow the project, validate the idea, could be $1,000.
And in 30 days, you're going to pull out your quote unquote 30 grand. Hopefully,
you're putting that towards the project, obviously. But you're not ending the project and stopping it right in its tracks.
You are exiting in a sustainable manner that ensures other bonding buys can also exit in
that manner.
And it really enables you to see more profit because you are more invested.
You have a time-based parameter that you should be focusing on
your project. And in theory, you will see more profit in, you know, that manner. Additionally,
good deployers, we are going to have a token that launches and we are wanting to, well,
somebody touched on this earlier, but it's had that flywheel effect, right, where everybody benefits. That's kind of, I think, you know, the gift of being able to put markets to all of these
things in crypto is you can create these flywheels. We want to, in a way, send revenue to the token.
These tokens, we want good deployers to have. We want them to be able to earn platform fees and be able to spend these on marketing,
KOLs, development, whatever it may be. And obviously that would be facilitated through
staking of some sort. But those are just, I think, two of the ways that I think we would be
rewarding developers and doing so with rewarding them having a long-term vision.
All right, cool.
All right, so a couple things.
We got to go to the – I didn't realize we were at two hours, guys.
For those of you that are listening afterwards or that have been here the whole time,
my bad, I didn't realize we hit two hours and we're just still going.
One of those nights, man, one of those nights.
But so Slick, listen, man, I think you're a well-spoken dude i appreciate you coming through tonight i feel like the platform you guys built
um is cool uh i will say this and and don't take this too you know hopefully it doesn't come across
too harsh but how how first of all how closely are you tied to the akuma inu team like how closely
is that integrated into the platform? Is it a separate entity?
I'm just curious.
Yes, so Akuma
Nadi, the Akuma is
an entirely separate entity.
I have seen you in the chat, though.
I know that there is
a little bit of discrepancy there.
I think there was some misunderstanding
on a couple
of parties' ends, but yeah.
Well, I hope you can take this back to your folks that, you know,
knowing that that was, you know, kind of part of the deal tonight,
I still host you, let you come up and speak and talk about what you guys are doing.
And I do think it's important that we find ways to protect people.
And we had a great visit tonight from Perlabs,
who's an IP-focused project.
I just want to say,
and just because I wasn't going to go there tonight,
but since we let you up here and we're past two hours,
and maybe there's not that many folks that will go back and listen this long.
Yeah, I was really disappointed by what happened within the AkumaNati community, the dev from AkumaNati or AkumaInu launching a cartel token, knowing that, obviously, they're cartel partners, I felt like that was pretty unfortunate, disappointing to hear.
I don't have – and to Godbreaker is the founder of Akuma Inu, and he told me point blank that essentially in his opinion – and everyone's entitled to it, but in his opinion, anybody can launch anything, call it whatever they want.
It's crypto.
Essentially do whatever you want, and he'll support you.
So that's his take i personally told him look dude that's fine you have that opinion but personally like as a business as a partnership you know that that we had an agreement we had
and of course they wanted to pay us a lot of money to promote that project and help hopefully
um just as you know just so you guys all know everyone listening live listening later
um i'm very very particular about who I work with
and if I do I very rarely even do any kind of like straight marketing deals with projects
they approach us they offered us a lot of money my business partner with the base cartel render
who's not here tonight had a long relationship with fungibles who was a big part of your of the akuma inu project
um he's known him for a long time i also have known of fungibles for a long time is he's an og
in the space so we've said okay let's explore it and we didn't end up ever well we'll just say we
never ended up um making a deal all right they offered a lot never happened never came to fruition
is what it is token obviously I'm not here to criticize or promote or you know
attack anybody I'm just saying like it didn't work out and so to see a month or
so later all of a sudden another token being called you know cartel on the on
the timeline it's pretty frustrating for me, especially since we're in
the middle of sort of rebranding some things and doing some cartel business of our own.
But, you know, again, like you said, you know, the gentleman that launched it, maybe he didn't
fully understand the situation. I'm not going to, you know, lose sleep over it. It is what it is.
understand the situation. I'm not going to lose sleep over it. It is what it is. But hopefully
your community and you yourself, you understand when it comes to sharing stuff and talking about
stuff on spaces and promoting the space and supporting folks that are doing things the right
way. I can see it. I can hear it in what you're doing tonight. So we appreciate you for coming
through.
And is there any other call to action or anything else you wanted to share with the space tonight?
I guess just keep an eye out for us. I did want to touch, you know, on the situation as well, just from my perspective. And for people that have kind of heard of what we've just been talking about, you know, 2020, sorry, hindsight is always 2020.
I think looking back, obviously, the dev of that token now realizes that, you know, he was kind of crossing paths in a way that wasn't maybe the right way to do it.
And I think that if he were to do it again, obviously he wouldn't
have done that. But I do want to apologize, you know, for if that did impede on your branding,
et cetera. It's all good, dude. Hey, they changed it to a K and they are technically
a Mexico-focused cartel. And if you study the history of cartels, you know, the cartel,
the base cartel was started by Peplo Escobar, who has a Colombian sort of theme.
And so it's all good, man.
I've come to peace with it.
I'm not even mad.
I just wanted to touch on it since, you know, it is what it is, man.
This space is small and people will talk.
Oh, that's crazy.
You let those guys come up and talk.
I will.
I don't take things that personal.
It is what it is.
I've said my piece and had my conversations with who I needed to.
And again, yeah, no, all good, dude.
Don't even worry about apologizing about it tonight.
Thanks for coming through and sharing Real.Fun.
We're all looking forward to seeing what's next.
The vault thing is very interesting.
That's probably the biggest, and just to touch on that piece,
that's probably the biggest component of what Akuma Inu was trying to do
and sort of their whole approach to crypto.
And, you know, you guys are trying to integrate into your platform.
I think a lot of people are interested to see how that works and if it works.
So we're all gonna pay attention, man.
So glad you came through, man.
Yeah, really appreciate it.
And yeah, if anybody is interested,
definitely hop in the Discord.
I'm in there.
Feel free to ask questions, DM me, everything.
Love it, appreciate it.
Awesome, Slick.
Thanks for being patient patient hanging out tonight we
got the homie million dollar base up here uh definitely love the fact that you are always
out here supporting our spaces and um you know doing everything you can to support the base
builders um what's going on man thanks for coming through hey thanks for having me quickly good to
see you looking forward to seeing you again at the on-chain summit. Already got my ticket. Start for that.
Yeah, man.
Like you said, our mission is to help support builders and elevate their voices.
And, you know, we're continuing to do that with the Million Bit homepage.
And have really been doubling down on content on X.
Putting out plot profiles for those in our community trying to do some deep dives into
their projects giving them attention on the timeline and the other big thing that i've been
developing that is pretty pertinent to the discussion like you said this space is gonna
you know run over a couple hours and there's awesome alpha that gets
dropped in here, but a lot of folks won't be able to hit the replay or tune into the entire thing.
Like I mentioned to you, I actually unfortunately miss this space most weeks because I'm actually
at an AI meetup locally, but I've built myself a tool that I hope to share with others to be able to use AI to highlight the best kind of moments in spaces.
It can do other media as well, but really trying to make a super easy, quick to use tool that is currently 100% in telegram i just drop the link to the x post and it'll spit out
a bunch of clips of some of the best moments in there and i can just review them from there and
hit the send button or post button and get it on to twitter and tiktok and wherever you want to put
it so it'll make a nice, you know, vertical video
that is suitable for those sorts of, you know, social networks. So as soon as this is done,
I'll run this through it. And if you don't mind and try to pull out some, some cool moments.
But yeah, I've been building this for the past two or three weeks now and just trying to beta test it myself to run it through
some of the uh you know great spaces that happen in the community you know we do that little calendar
of uh spaces coming up and you know kind of on top of that i've just been following some of the
awesome spaces like the build on base account has started letting people uh use that to um you know talk about base stuff which
is really cool actually i'm glad you brought that up because i was on the we were on a call with uh
toki who's kind of helping manage that um that exact thing from the build on base account and
kind of setting up the spaces and we're just looking they're looking at different mediums
and trying to figure out you know how they want to approach it kind of in that early stage.
And of course, I'm a spaces guy, so I'm like, let's stay on spaces.
But they're also considering just kind of moving all the way over to more of a streaming,
stream yard approach.
But when we were talking, I was letting them know,
hey, we need to have someone who can do some editing and kind of chop up some of these spaces and, you know, make some content around that.
And you came up because I was like, you know, obviously he's already doing it.
I didn't realize it was sort of like a tool that you use that's, you know, already, you know, sort of like automated and whatnot.
So that's actually even more interesting.
so um yeah let's talk about that uh maybe after the spaces and just kind of figure out if there's
something we can do to help uh even the base team themselves uh kind of automate some of that because
you know we do you remember you remember this uh maybe some of you all remember this uh last year
we were doing these spaces we try to come up with this uh tv guide approach do you remember that oh
yeah yeah jesse christ yeah yeah yeah so jesse was making
it i could so i like i and me and him kind of went back and forth on who came up with the idea
i feel like i came up with the idea on spaces and then he also had a similar idea and we just kind
of merged it doesn't matter uh who cares who who came up with the idea but we kind of did have a
little little back and forth around it but uh of course course, I'm humble. I'm like, I don't really care, dude.
You're the dev.
You can build it.
And anyway, so I was talking to the base team about this.
And Toki was, like, thinking of a similar idea.
He brought it up.
He's like, yeah, I was even thinking about maybe doing, like, a, you know, doing some vibe coding around, you know, like a TV guy type approach.
And I was like, holy shit, that's hilarious because, you know, we did that a year ago. And we put it on chain and did all, you know, we did NF type approach and i was like holy that's hilarious because you know we
we did that a year ago and we put it on chain and did all you know we did nfts around it and all
that on uh i think it was zora or it was either zora or coinbase i can't remember who where we
mentioned them but either way um you came up because i was like yeah this guy's already
kind of got something he's been doing i thought you were like going through and editing editing
them yourself but um yeah
man you have to spill the beans you know when it's actually a machine doing the work for me
no that's great dude that's even better because um it's easier right like we can we can chop those
things up and go pick pick and choose which ones we want to highlight so uh let's chat about that
uh make sure everyone's following million million uh Million Base, your project, what you've been doing.
You've been at it for a long time, supporting.
And it's really cool to see over time the billboard just kind of like stacking up and building and kind of growing.
And then some of the iteration you've done around it just to kind of offer different things to folks.
So definitely cool, man.
Anything you want to pin up, feel free.
Oh, you did.
I see it up there now.
Yeah, go check it out.
That's really cool that you're doing that.
And one of the things I love about devs in this space
is when they do stuff, just to do it.
Just to do it.
Just to take that initiative initiative just to go out
and do some shit and you wanted it you you obviously thought hey i want i want to see this
and no one's doing it and you just you just built it and uh so i love this love it man um i wish
more people just throw literally it's like you you might think it's like throwing shit at the
wall but this guy's smart enough to know that hey this is maybe other people want to see that too.
So we love it, man.
Yeah, I appreciate it so much.
Yeah, we've both the space schedules that I do are automated.
People appreciate that and running that for quite a while now.
And also, yeah, the clips like the one I pinned up there are fully automated.
So yeah, the clips, like the one I pinned up there, are fully automated.
Like I said, I only interact with the bot through Telegram that I wrote to be able to find the clips.
So it's a really convenient way.
I know there are other tools, you know.
So for folks like Bass or people who have a podcast, they're probably familiar that this is like something you got to do.
And it just takes time or you pay for one of these tools to do it but i wrote my own i did start with a vibe code session
to kick it off but it took a lot of work to get it like kind of fine polished and fine-tuned and
yeah i hope to make it available to other projects you know because there's lots of little projects
they just they know they need to be making more use of the content they're already producing.
And it's just hard to find the time.
So hopefully this is going to be another great thing for folks' utility belt.
I'm going to just throw out a suggestion that you apply for a base grant for that tooling.
And then we present it to base and say let's let's
integrate that into what we're i've been helping them with spaces and doing doing all that so
i'll be glad to tell them to hey this is what we want to this is what we want to use um nice help
yeah let's yeah i appreciate that if if you missed it i did get a base grant um in the the last batch
actually so don't know if i can double dip there or uh put
this in the ring you can i feel like you can apply for a base grant uh again i think it's fine um
nice i think it's worth it appreciate it yeah like why not and uh you know that's that's something i
advise to any project right now if you're building on base you got something cool continue to apply
if you haven't applied make sure you apply um cool, continue to apply. If you haven't applied, make sure you apply.
One thing we're going to highlight on our weekly spaces that we do with the base team
is we're going to focus on everything that's happening on base.
But obviously, if you've gotten a grant, we're going to highlight those projects,
whether they're in the space or not.
We want to talk about it.
So definitely make sure you're applying to it.
But yeah, I think on that note, we've got a, we had a fucking great space tonight.
Really awesome.
Heard from a lot of great, great projects.
Funk, did you have any thoughts, comments, feedback for any of the projects tonight?
Anything you wanted to cover?
I mean, I've been kind of jumping in with them as the show's been going along going along here but no man i had a great time there's a lot of projects it's uh you know we
ran two two hours and 20 minutes and uh i will be honest i it is uh sometimes it does get tough
after the two hour mark for me but hey you know everyone presented really really well and uh you
know man i i just am excited for the base blockchain i'm going to eat toronto in two
weeks actually and consensus there in toronto so maybe i'll see some of y'all there. I heard some conversations tonight about how those conventions have gotten a lot better over the years. And yeah, I'm looking forward to maybe meeting some new people. I'd love to go also to the on-chain summit. So we'll see if I make it to that. But other than that, man, great job hosting, great job interviewing, and thanks to all the projects for coming on.
100%, man.
And I heard a lot of Canadians tonight, so hopefully they're at the Toronto event with you.
I feel like I heard a lot of Canadians.
I don't know.
Maybe that's just me.
Maybe I'm just listening too closely to accents.
But, yeah, I think we hit the nail on the head tonight.
We got through all the projects.
Everyone was here, did a great job presenting.
We heard from some special guests and kind of surprise visits, which is always wonderful.
Yeah, no, I think we knocked it out.
I didn't get to hear from Shai, though.
Shai is too shy.
She hung out down there the whole time and didn't even come up and say one word. I was hoping to convince her to come up and share what she's got going on. I also
saw some other folks pop into the space tonight that we didn't get to hear from. If you have a
project on base and you want to talk about it on Spaces with us and you don't want to just, you
know, risk the luck, you know, the lucky side of things things like just just hit us up uh we've got you know space every week that we want to give to you uh and what we're
happy to work with you just hit the coin merge account up hit my account up we'll get you in
here um you know just one of those things it helps a lot if you're in the cartel by the way
obviously we want you all to use the coin ranker bot when it's up and running, so definitely tap into that.
But on that note, I think we're signing out.
I think we're good.
I think we hit everything we needed to hit tonight.
Yeah, me as well, man.
Thank you, Quigley, again, and thank you to the projects.
And most importantly, man, thank you to the listeners, people who are buying into base projects.
You make it all possible.
So thanks guys.
Yeah. Like always, man, we appreciate all the live listeners,
everyone listening afterwards.
It's one of those metrics I always keep an eye on.
I love seeing hundreds of people come back and just listen to these spaces.
I know two hours is a long time. So, you know,
if you're still here after two hours, much respect to you.
Hopefully you found some value and you you heard some projects that you like.
So on that note, everybody have a great night.
Stay based.
We'll see you next week.
