Full Transcription
Thank you. Okay, okay, okay.
I guess that sounds kind of like Matthew McConaughey, right?
Where he goes, all right, all right, all right.
Hopefully everybody is having a great, great, great day today.
What is today?
Wednesday.
A great Wednesday today.
I am Sandy Carter.
I am the chief business officer here at Unstoppable.
And we are so incredibly excited to have you on the call.
Hey, Greg, yeah, I need to get Leon on this call so he can join us.
But I think at least the one in the run a show is not right.
But let me see again.
Yeah.
So let me just, I'll, I'll, I'll slack you, Greg, if you can hear me.
Yep.
Let me, I know the questions are right.
Oh, yep.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No worries. But I think, and I think the link is wrong too, because that's a recording.
Yep. Yep. I will change that right now for you. Yeah. If you can just send me that and then we'll get Leon on. So how's everybody doing today? Everybody doing well? Let me see with emojis. Everybody doing good?
Yep. today ready doing well let me see with emojis everybody doing good yep
should be a good day i love the thumbs up and the hearts and everything that you guys have we'll get going here in a second um what did you guys think about cash me pretty interesting right
you guys think about cash me? Pretty interesting, right? Yeah, everybody's excited. Yes, I know. I
was really excited about this one, too. I thought this was a really, a really an awesome one for
sure, to be sure. And I'm so excited to, you know, kind of walk through the logic and the reasoning and everything
behind this too.
Oh, and it looks like, look like, it looks like you're on, right?
Let's let Leon come up.
Leon, Leon is joining us from sunny Miami and I am today in Arizona.
I am preparing to leave for Davos on Friday where it's supposed to be so
snowy that typically the little promenade that we go on for all of the
events have snow on it.
So it's going to be very interesting.
We're going to see.
So Leon, welcome on.
Thank you, Sandy.
Thank you for having me.
And thank you for inviting us. Yeah, you, Sandy. Thank you for having me and for inviting us.
Yeah, you're welcome.
And are you down in sunny Miami right now?
I am.
That's awesome.
Even we're supposed to be getting down into the 40s in the next year too.
So winter's everywhere.
Oh, wow.
Johanna, I wish you could speak
because I also have a friend
who did a business trip to Poland.
She's gone from Poland to Davos.
She told me today was minus five
and it was not snowing, it was sleeting.
So she went into her meeting, came out
and she said she was just sliding all over the
sidewalks trying to get back to her hotel. So I think this will be a really interesting Davos
this year. We'll have to see what happens. But Leon, we only have 30 minutes today to talk about
Cash Me. So I want to start out by talking to you about what is Cash Me? What is it? What does the company do?
Well, what we launched right now with you and Unstoppable Domains is the Cashme Web 3.
Hey, Leon, you're breaking up pretty badly. Do you have a better connection somewhere?
Is he breaking up for all of you or just me?
Greg, can you hear him well?
Yeah, he was breaking up on my end.
Yeah.
Leon, you want to try it again?
Is this any better?
Hello?
A little bit better.
Yes, try again.
Yep, go ahead.
Try again.
Okay, while he is trying to get everything set up, I'll just kind of go through.
We have partnered on Cashme, and I in crypto to cash. So really helping out people who want to get instantaneous money, but leveraging
crypto to get the cash to them as quickly as they can. And so Leon and I had lunch together when we
were down in Miami at NamesCon.
I don't know if you guys remember NamesCon.
NamesCon is the big, I guess I would say a big domain or conference.
And we were having lunch down there in Miami.
And that's where Leon described what he wanted to accomplish with Cashme and why we felt like Cashme would just be such an amazing TLD because of the business that he's in.
Leon, do you want to try speaking again and see if it works?
Leon, do you want to try again?
Oops, it looks like he left us for a second.
left us for a second. So we did. Yeah. Okay, great. Thank you. So we did launch the .cashme
I'll invite him back.
Yeah, okay, great.
TLD or top level domain. And I think in this space, it's going to be even more important
because of, you know, where you're going to send the funds to how you're going to send the funds,
what you're going to do is going to be really important. And I think having a digital identity like .cashme is going to be crucial as we move forward.
Leon, do you want to try it again?
Leon.
Can you hear me?
Is this any better?
That's much better.
Thank you. So tell us about what CashMe is.
Sorry about that. But Sandy, thank you for filling in and for giving everyone a really quick idea.
Yes, CashMe, we want to build it as a complete Web3 identity.
Beyond just simplifying sending and receiving cash payments, we want to make this a digital asset,
simplifying, sending and receiving cash payments.
We want to make this a digital asset,
a way really of helping you just handle all of your digital assets,
your collectibles, your login, your ticketing.
One of the problems that I feel is going to become even greater
as we move forward with real-world assets coming online is scams.
We want to tie in a layer of identification with cash.
So people have the confidence that they were transacted with people.
Scams are more or more.
Using 40-character alphanumeric wallet addresses
makes it really difficult to have security of who you're
interacting with so by having these shortened identifications it just really helps people
transact with one another and have more confidence with what they're doing now the slang cash me
outside became popular a while ago and with that um the natural thing for Cashmeter to do is to enable cash transactions
to cash payments. But we are trying to also position this platform in the future to be
able to do more than just send and receive cash transactions with other type of assets.
For instance, Zelle, PayPal, and
demo are all peer to peer with the bank,
but you can't use web addresses unless you do a
different type of transaction that you transact
fiat to crypto and then send it.
One of the things we actually hope to do in the future,
if we can, is partner with a company that will help us
facilitate that and provide that kind of services also to our users.
That is awesome.
And I think that this kind of business model is so important for so many people because,
you know, crypto adoption will sometimes break down specifically on receiving that side of the payments.
Talk to me about your vision there for CashMe.
Absolutely.
With receiving payments, you know, as you just mentioned with crypto, we need to make it as simple as possible.
Crypto adoption, you know, I think that all of us that are in this right now pretty much early
adopters i don't think crypto adoption has hit mainstream more and more people are interested in
it but there's a lot of people that are still scared and i don't blame them um again with this
we need to have the security measures in place so that people feel comfortable knowing who that
who it is that they're talking with and who it is that they're interacting
with. This is one of the many steps that you have to get taken. But if you know who you're
interacting with and you at least have the confidence, go ahead and reach.
And you're starting to break up a little bit.
Greg, can you guys understand him well enough to continue?
Is that okay?
I lost him at the very, very end.
Very end.
Yeah, me too.
I apologize.
So, Leon, talk.
I've been having cellular problems in my area for the last couple days.
Yeah, I heard there is a major Verizon outage today.
In fact, a lot of my friends who have Verizon phones, their phones have been an SOS all day long.
So I know that there has been a lot of really, really, really issues going forward for sure.
So tell me a little bit, Leon, we're going to try to continue on and see if we can hear you enough.
So why did you launch a .cashme?
And why did you think a dedicated TLD was the right solution for this particular problem?
Hey, Leon, we're not able to hear you now.
I'm so sorry.
Is there any way you can switch to Wi-Fi or anything else that you can switch to? Hey, Greg, I mean, oh, there you go.
Now we got you again.
Let's try it one more time.
And then Leon, I think if this doesn't work, I think we should rebook to when you have good access because you have such a compelling, interesting story.
I really want everybody to hear it.
So go ahead and try again.
And if it doesn't work this time, then we'll move on to something else.
Leon?
You're muted, Leon.
I'm going to hit the mic button.
Okay.
There you go.
Yes, we can now.
Hey, try again.
We never let a little bit of Kingston technology stop us.
There you go.
Okay, well, let me try back again.
One of the things, honestly, that led me to launch this TLD was opportunity.
Too often, we hesitate when the timing is right for something and we miss an opportunity.
I was really surprised to see that Cash Me was available, and I jumped on it.
I bought the TLD in November, and from November to now, it's not a lot of time to actually get
something going and launched. And I didn't wait until we had the platform and everything
completely built, because I figured one of the things that will be important for us and I welcome is feedback.
Too often as entrepreneurs, as founders, we build things that we think is what everybody wants and we're wrong.
You know, here we have a base to start with.
I think we have an incredible opportunity and I believe we have very good timing to bring this to the market now
And I believe we have very good timing to bring this to the market now because the transactions, the digital transactions with both monetary and other type of assets are growing every day.
the more recognized Cash Me is as a product that can be trusted with people
that are using it and we add on other verification layers the better
positioned we are to grow. And how does the function differ from just a
wallet address? Simplicity. Most wallet addresses as we all know are very cumbersome nobody's going i mean
i don't have a uh photographic memory but i wouldn't want to try to remember some of these 40
character alphanumeric wallets here sandy if you and i are you know if i'm traveling or you're
traveling and we wanted to split a dinner or i wanted to send you money or i needed to borrow money or somebody needed to send me money or whatever simply somebody could
send money to leon.cashme using their wallet instead of using a long cumbersome alphanumeric
number again it's the simplicity that makes everything work that's that's what makes everything tick so once you purchase your cash me uh name
your cash me unique digital identity you download it to whatever wallet you want to connect you want
to use it with and once it's connected there you can use that in your wallet as your main identity
and shorten your address so you could have you know in my, it would be leon.cashme, and that's my wallet address.
Any transactions that I want to do,
that's where I'm sending and receiving from.
That's where I'm signing from.
And anybody that wants to send me anything,
you know, it makes it very easy for them to make sure
that they're sending it to the right person.
And you were surprised that Cash me was available right so um
why do you think that was why do you think no one kind of grabbed that one up because it is
such a good one sometimes um that old saying something is hiding in plain sight and i think this was one of those cases i i
so again it surprised me um there are a couple of services around the world not based in the
united states but there's a couple services like in the philippines where they have a cash me app
um which is different than what we have but But, you know, there was nothing registered in the United States
or in Europe for CashMe.
So I was just happy.
So what happens behind the scenes when someone sends funds to a .cashme?
So let's say I'm sending funds to Sandy.cashme,
and anybody can test this out if they want to.
Tell me what happens behind the scenes. I'm gonna send funds to sandy dot cash me
Behind the scenes, it's really a couple of different layers and
Sandy I'm gonna apologize if I can't get into the technicalities of it
But I'm not super technical and I would be the wrong person to explain. And I don't want to confuse anyone because it's really
a very simple process that works seamlessly. And I don't want to make it sound complicated when it's
not by explaining it incorrectly. Okay. Okay. Okay. I think that's great. And, um, you know,
give me a couple of real world scenarios. So if I'm living here and I want to get money to, I'm from Lithuania originally.
If I want to get money to Lithuania, would I use CashMe?
Or would it be more, you know, I'm trying to buy something from Greg?
What's the right real world scenario for CashMe today?
Both.
With Lithuania, I would say whoever you are transacting with in Lithuania also needs to have a digital wallet.
That is probably one of the few requirements that anybody needs to have.
They do not have to have a CashMe digital ID.
They can be using any type of wallet, and if they don't have a unique identifier such as Sandy.CashMe,
you just have to be very careful to make
sure that you're sending the money to the correct address but in a case like that you would verify
the person's address where they would verify who they're sending it to and if you let's say for
instance yes we have family member in europe or somebody's traveling and they say sandy or leon i
have a problem i have have an emergency. I
need you to send me some money. They have their wallet loaded on their phone, wherever they may
be. And they say, I need $500. I need $1,000. I would then say, go to my wallet and I would
select the kind of money or the kind of currency that I'm going to send them, whether it's Bitcoin,
Ethereum, Solana, or whatever it is. And I'd say, I'm going to send them, whether it's Bitcoin, Ethereum,
Solana, or whatever it is. And I'd say, I'm going to be sending this to this address. I would enter
sandy.cashme, verify the amount, basically hit send, and wait a couple minutes for the transaction
to go through, and it would send it. If we are going to make a purchase, that would depend if
we're making a purchase online from a retailer or if we're buying something from an individual person.
If we're buying something from an individual person, I would say, first and foremost, make sure you know who the person is, that you're not sending money to somebody who's going to scam you.
But let's say that you do know the person and that everything's legit.
It's very simple. Again, here, if Greg would say to you, Sandy, I'm going to sell you this T-shirt or whatever for $50,
you would take his address, greg.cashme.com.
You would enter the amount of money that you're sending him,
and you would hit send.
And then in a couple of minutes,
he would be receiving whatever funds you sent him.
That sounds really easy.
When are you guys going live with this function?
Or are you already live with the function? Yeah. Anybody that buys a Cash Me digital ID
can, once they download that into their wallet, once they receive that,
they can start using it immediately. Okay. That's awesome. And I'm just curious, you know, usually with most of our TLDs, you can also use it to create your own profile, to log into other things. All of those are still valid with a .cash me today, you can still use it with different wallet addresses with, you know, your tag, with your messaging, et cetera.
I'm just curious if you're thinking about this, are you also looking to form any communities
around it or how are you kind of thinking about that piece of it?
Yes, most definitely.
Actually, Sandy, that's what made this a no-brainer to partner with you and unstoppable
domains because a lot of those functionalities that you just mentioned instead of us having to
go through the rigors of building it testing it and deploying it unstoppable domains is an incredible
partner you already have all those features and functions available to us. So with that, using a lot of the tools that you already have available so that people
could log in, you know, CashMe is partnered with Unstoppable Domains.
So any place that you go with and if you have an Unstoppable Domains identity, ID, you could
log in with, CashMe would also be one of those logins that you use with 50,
that's the thing that we're building out.
You know, again, little baby steps,
and as more and more people become CashMe users
and adopt this type of identity,
you know, we will be hoping to have a robust
community for them.
That's great.
And anything in particular you want to do with that community?
Like, have you thought about, like, are you going to give any rewards to that community?
Are you going to, you know, are you going to do, like, regular Twitter spaces?
Like, tell me what you're thinking right now
um there's a lot that can be done Twitter spaces is definitely something
very easy to do we we haven't developed all that yet but just the community
aspect of people being able to get together people being able to know that they're communicating with other
people that are real that have gone through validation and verification
process actually one of the other things that and I want to speak with you about
that you're a little bit of feedback on besides the dotme, which is Web3 address, we also own cacheme.id, which is our URL for the cacheme ID.
One of the things that we've considered, because we still have a lot of onboarding to do for people that are using traditional Web2 technology to Web3. I feel that using the cache ID and the .cache.me
Web3, I'm sure
to build
Hey, Leon, I'm so sorry to tell you this,
but you're breaking up again pretty badly.
Okay.
Okay, thank you.
Now you sound good. Now you sound good again.
Try it again.
Okay. I was going to say, one of the things we really hope to do is help a lot of people come from Web 2 to Web 3.
We have the ability to blend cache me.id and our .cache.me web3.tld together.
So one of the things we hope to do is have programs to help educate people on how to transition from web2 and expand into web3 and all the added utility that that brings.
That's really cool.
And, you know, we usually ask all of our folks this, but before I do, I'll just let you know, we're going to open it up from questions.
And we will give away three .cashmes.
So three .cashmes.
So while Leon's going to answer this question, you guys can start raising your hands to win a free .cashme.
Leon, I'm just curious, you know, what else would you want from Unstoppable?
Leon, I'm just curious, you know, what else would you want from Unstoppable?
Are there any, like, wish list items that you're like, wow, I really wish we had whatever it happens to be?
tremendous
on that.
Really, one of the things that we
want on our side is
into all of
these
wishes.
I would really like to do
whatever we can with Unstoppable
to make this one of your premier IDs.
Okay, that's awesome.
Any questions you guys have?
And I apologize ahead of time.
I know it's a little hard to hear.
Like I said, we're having telecommunications issues today, so I apologize for that.
But any questions that anybody has?
Anybody wants to toss their hand in the ring? It looks like we have two requests coming up. today so I apologize for that but any questions that anybody has anybody wants
to toss their hand in the ring it looks like we have two requests coming up so I
will start first with web 3. web 3. hey everyone thanks for having me up here and love what you are building with .cash.me. So I have a quick question.
Do you think we'll eventually be able to receive funds from exchanges straight to a .cash.me name
instead of using bank details or wallet addresses and are there plans to integrate that cash
me into wallets or exchange payouts? Thank you. I didn't hear any questions.
Oh you didn't hear his question? His first question was are you going to be able to get money from an exchange? And then give me the second question again.
Yeah.
The second question was if there are plans to integrate that cash me into
wallets.
Into wallets.
Yeah.
Cash me is already integrated with wallets because it inherits all of the integrations that unstoppable already does.
So you could already use it with trust wallet.
You could use it with blockchain wallet, et cetera, et cetera.
All those could already be used today.
But I will let you answer this.
That first question, Liana, is there any are you going to do any partnerships with exchanges we hope so um east denver is next month and i'm hoping that talking with some of the
exchanges in person helps move things along a little bit quicker because i don't have the direct
connections that i need and sometimes just sending emails back and forth doesn't move fast enough.
But the answer to that is yes. And if anybody that's listening has connections at exchanges that they could facilitate, I would definitely welcome that.
Okay, super. Make sure you DM our unstoppable domains and you can get your, get your domain as well. Okay. I guess it's unlike you or dissimulus.
Exactly. Thanks for having me up here. Unlike you is exactly correct. And I have two very
technical questions. I'm not able to hear any questions for some reason. I'll repeat them to you, Leon. I think
you're having some issues. I'll try to repeat them to you. Thank you. All right. The first one is,
when will the cache me domains resolve on browsers or do they already resolve on browsers?
And on which network is it posted polygon base or which network are the
domains on yeah so the the um so leon i'm going to answer this one for you um the um it is minted
on polygon and the browsers are what we do is we do those in batches so we just sent our latest
batch to brave and we're still waiting for brave to get back to us when they do that integration. So what Brave does in order to stay secure, instead of using our API, which would
automatically grant access, they've built their own, which means that every time we come out with
a new TLD, they have to do that integration. And so they do those in batches for us. And since this
one just announced yesterday, that batch has not processed yet.
So it would be totally dependent on Brave.
It usually takes between 30 and 60 days for the new TLDs to be supported in a browser.
All right.
Great to know.
Thanks for the response.
And thanks for having me up here.
Yeah. And, um, and if you could just DM our
unstoppable domain account, they'll get you a, a free domain with a dot cash me and Idris. I knew,
I knew you're going to ask us a great question. You're going to be our final question of the day.
So make it a really good one. Okay. Hello Sandy. And welcome back from CES in Las Vegas. I saw you had a lot of fun there.
Yeah, I learned a lot there, I have to say. It's one of my favorite shows of the year.
Yeah, it is good. It is good to be here. My question for Leon, all for you, I guess,
is how soon are we going to see this TLD registered with ICANN?
Is there a possibility for that happening in the nearest feature?
And with registering with ICANN,
that means it should resolve on Web2 browser, right?
Yes. So I'll let Leon talk about that because this is about Leon.
So Leon, they want to know when you're going to go to ICANN,
if you're going to go to ICANN.
You want to talk a little bit about that?
The deadline for ICANN is coming up very quickly. And at this point, I don't believe we're going to be able to apply for ICANN's openings coming up this year in 2026, unless something moves along very quickly.
If we are successful with everything that we're doing, we would position CashMe for the next
ICANN, but that's a long time away. I would love to get CashMe ICANN certified,
but for that, honestly, I would need a partner to come in and help us with that.
And that's something we definitely would be open to and consider.
Yeah, just so everybody knows it is quite expensive to take your TLD to ICANN,
about a quarter of a million dollars approximately. And that's just kind of stage one. So it's a lot of money. And so a lot of a lot of our TLDs there for smaller Web3 companies.
So they either need to get a sponsor or an investor or something to take those forward. This was announced as a Web3 only TLD.
So so we position this right up front the way Leon wanted us to was this as a Web3 TLD.
But again, you know, he has the option up until August to change his mind and take it if he gets
investors or partners or is just wicked, wildly successful as well. But right now, yeah.
I was wondering also if Leon and his company will have IRL events, you know, that Unstoppable Domain Fam can come support them at.
So I don't know if he has any upcoming event that we can know about.
That's a great idea.
So, Leon, the question is from some of our whales.
They want to know if you're going to host any in-person, in-real-life events around Cashme.
Most definitely. I'm based in south florida in miami florida
and down here there's events going on constantly as far as conferences are concerned that can
afford us the opportunity to have irl meetups for cashme next month is East Denver. During East Denver, we can also definitely have a get-together.
That's something that I would need to start working on, but if there's interest in that, most definitely.
That's all part of community and community building, so yes, without question.
Yeah, and I have to say, Leon had this fabulous fabulous fabulous location in miami um partnering with his wife on a yoga studio
and we had talked about doing a couple of things there but unfortunately the people he was renting
it the people who owned it um are going to be selling it and doing something else with it so
he's looking for a new space right now so stay tuned there for sure. Well, guys, this was just a quick space for you to get
kind of the lay of the land for Cash Me. Thank you guys for hanging in there with us on the
issues with the audio. We really appreciate that. That just shows you what kind of
UD fam we have here. And Leon, thank you so much for your partnership. Thank you for choosing us to
do .cash me with. And we wish you all the success in the world. I'll let you have the
last word. What do you want everybody to take away? Before anything, Sandy, thank you and
the Unstoppable family. You guys really are a family. you guys really are a family you guys really are a supporting ecosystem
that is there for your partners and that is incredibly valuable more than anybody can imagine
as far as anybody that's listening i say to you thank you to those of you that have already
purchased your cashme id thank you for your trust thank you for believing in the vision
of what we're building we're just getting started this is step one um i do welcome feedback
recommendations suggestions and opportunities for collaborations and partnerships if that is
something that is of interest to you please reach out to me in the meantime just bear with us a
little bit and we do plan to build the cashme into a platform and something that'll be very useful for you.
Thank you, guys.
Have a beautiful rest of your Wednesday.
And I will be doing some live reports from Davos.

there with us thank you for listening today and we will talk to you hopefully a week after davos
chat scene Thank you.

The launch of the .cashme top-level domain (TLD) represents a significant step in creating a digital identity for cash transactions, positioning CashMe as a key player in the Web3 space.
Yeah, okay, great.
TLD or top level domain. And I think in this space, it's going to be even more important
because of, you know, where you're going to send the funds to how you're going to send the funds,
Leon highlights the opportunity that led to the launch of CashMe, emphasizing the importance of timing in the rapidly evolving crypto landscape.
Okay, well, let me try back again.
One of the things, honestly, that led me to launch this TLD was opportunity.
Too often, we hesitate when the timing is right for something and we miss an opportunity.
Leon discusses plans for future ICANN registration, which would enhance the legitimacy and usability of the CashMe TLD in the broader internet ecosystem.
ICANN, but that's a long time away. I would love to get CashMe ICANN certified,
but for that, honestly, I would need a partner to come in and help us with that.
And that's something we definitely would be open to and consider.

a very simple process that works seamlessly. And I don't want to make it sound complicated when it's
not by explaining it incorrectly. Okay. Okay. Okay. I think that's great. And, um, you know,
give me a couple of real world scenarios. So if I'm living here and I want to get money to, I'm from Lithuania originally.
The potential for CashMe to facilitate easier transactions and its integration with existing wallets indicates a positive growth trajectory for user adoption in the crypto space.
Like, tell me what you're thinking right now
um there's a lot that can be done Twitter spaces is definitely something
very easy to do we we haven't developed all that yet but just the community
The intention to partner with exchanges for direct fund transfers to .cashme addresses showcases CashMe's commitment to expanding its functionality and user base.
But I will let you answer this.
