Short Summary
Coldlink has launched as a groundbreaking chain agnostic wallet verification tool, enabling seamless connections between blockchain addresses and various identifiers. With new API capabilities and support for major blockchains like ETH, SOL, and BTC, Coldlink is set to revolutionize asset management and airdrop processes in the crypto space.
Full Transcription
Music Thank you. Thank you. hello hello um so i'm not going to bother waiting until other people join because it's recorded and
people listen to it after the fact so i'm just just going to say GM to the two people in here.
Hello.
We are going to basically just be talking about Cold Link, what it is, what it does,
and dive into a couple of the use cases of it because we do get some questions in the DMs,
often the same ones.
So we're just going to keep addressing them as everyone becomes more familiar with the process and what it is and how it works.
So I will pin to the top some information.
Basically, we launched Coldlink last week.
It is the very first chain agnostic wallet agnostic verification tool that allows you to
connect any blockchain address to literally anything else so any other blockchain address
any l1 l2 l3 nfc chip web2 identifiers so any gaming username social media handle, email, PO box, serial number, ticket number.
It goes on and on and on without any blind signing and without any smart contract interactions.
So it is the safest, most secure, interoperable way to have your digital assets acknowledged,
to have your on-chain history acknowledged and rewarded across any space that you inhabit,
whether it's on-chain or on the internet or in real life.
So it introduces for the first time ever complete interoperability,
complete acknowledgement of digital asset ownership,
and also the ability for Web2 companies to integrate this without any crazy Web3 tech or any special teams or knowledge or anything like that.
So very, very cool.
We just yesterday launched the API issuance for the public key access.
So I'm going to pin that to the top too so you've got that information.
And the documentation are there
for the for the API and the white paper basically what that means is you can go and get yourself a
public API key and start playing around with this in your own ecosystem the the cost of that is 10
USD and ETH it'll give you access to all the current and future public endpoints for 12 months.
So custom API call rates and payment via all supported L1s is coming soon.
If you're listening and you're like, okay, so what can I do now?
ETH and SOL are currently supported.
so you can do whatever you want between ETH and SOL,
So you can do whatever you want between ETH and SOL.
and we'll be slowly adding more and more endpoints and endpoints
as we go based on demand at first and also the needs
of the 150-plus test flight partners that are in the pipeline.
So I will let Syke say hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Can you hear me okay?
Yeah.
Cool, cool.
Yeah, no, I just wanted to chime in on the endpoints and just say that we just pushed to production
the endpoints for BTC Taproot, XRP, and Cardano.
So you can now link a Solana and Ethereum address
to Solana Ethereum, but now also Taproot, XRP
or Cardano.
So if you've got communities in those spaces that you feel like they should be able to
target Solana or Ethereum users, then that's now possible.
Amazing.
So we'll do an announcement about that with more information on what that means and how that works, as well as some potential use cases so people understand how to how to utilize it.
But yeah, so that will continue happening basically every week.
There'll be more and more updates and you'll see this integrated across more and more ecosystems.
So it's like, do you want to speak about the flow of the process of how it works? So let's
get into a use case because people are like, right, well, what is Coldlink? How can I use it?
I think an immediate and obvious use case for it would be airdrops, right? So like,
how would that work? In what situation would people be interacting with Coldlink
for an airdrop or a claim?
Yeah, if you wanted to do an airdrop,
say like if you had an NFT collection
that you wanted to do an airdrop on a particular chain for,
or even if it was going to be cross-chain.
So say if you had an NFT collection on Ethereum
and you wanted to do an airdrop on Solana,
you would just be able to point everyone that holds that collection in a wallet somewhere to CodeLink, have them
connect or CodeLink a Solana address to the Ethereum address that's holding their NFTs.
And then on your side, all you need to do is just go grab an API key and you can pull
down a CSV, which is just a simple file format, essentially a list
of all the wallets that have got those Solana addresses verified against the Ethereum addresses.
And then you can just do that, that airdrop. So it means that, you know, that friction that's
there, like having people actually able to move cross chain is now very easy because you can just point people to Coldlink,
have them create a Coldlink against their Ethereum address
of whoever you're targeting,
be it your collectors or your community,
or even if it's a CTO situation
where you just want to do something for a particular community,
it's very easy for you to just point them towards Coldlink
and then use the API to pull down a list
of everyone that's created those links so as we add those endpoints that's where it gets exciting
like say like with xrp and and taproot and cardano right now going live is that anyone that's like
operating on those chains can now be like hey so like we want to do a meme coin on XRP for this Ethereum NFT collection.
That's now possible as of today, very securely.
And yeah, just as little friction as possible.
So what kind of things can people use to identify, I guess, people that are eligible for drops using Coldlink? Like, how does that work?
So the most obvious one would be like if they've got an NFT, like in our spaces that we run in.
So like it can be things like on-chain history. A big one that we've seen as a pain point with the
integration partners that we've been working with has been um on chain history and also holding time we've found that people that want to have
some kind of point system or some kind of um like multiplier attached to uh i guess what you would
call loyalty so like if someone's had a particular token for a very long time, just sat in their cold storage, that's very hard to actually ever have someone verify just because it's typically in a wallet that is pulled with other tokens, like other crypto assets, things where they just aren't willing to put that at risk.
and now so with different partners that say like have point systems and loyalty systems that they
want to be able to you know recognize that on-chain loyalty aspect that's that's definitely
a big aspect not just the token ownership itself or it could be something like in a particular
address that's mining on a chain or it could be just the fact that they're very active so it
could be based on the amount of liquidity that they're adding to a chain could be their activity
in terms of like active gameplay on a game so like if you've got something where there was a token
airdrop based on hours played and say like there's a particular uh metric there that is like a skill level. So say like they were the top 100 players on something like off the grid, right?
Like, you know that there's essentially a proof of humanity baked into that.
So it allows like a lot of like targeting cross chain and also like just cross application, cross dap.
like just cross application cross that meaning that like if you if you bring a
new game to market it's very easy to do a campaign to bring people over to check
out what you've made based on their activities so we've gone into gaming a
little bit but I want to stick to I want to stick to airdrops because I think
that in order to access I guess you know there's lots of different instances in the space recently where
platforms have arisen new platforms have been built and it comes with like participate and get
this airdrop or participate and you earn you know whatever native token is is within their ecosystem
the cost of delegation to be able to actually access
the things that you've earned, so to speak,
is often more in terms of cost and risk
than is worth even claiming.
So with Coldlink, when you use that to claim things,
the risk is essentially completely mitigated um so there is
absolutely no reason with the existence of cold link that you would need to connect your vaults
or anything that you're using um with your on-chain assets to any social platform any defi platform
anything like that to claim anything ever again.
Like the process of it is essentially going to change with the existence of this flow.
I just want to say hello to the new people that have joined the space.
Thank you for joining.
Hello.
We're just in here talking about Coldlink.
We're going to be doing this basically all the time.
Today we're talking about gaming and airdrops and just how that works.
If you would share the space, that would be great because Cold Link has been squashed on social media, which is bloody annoying. If you want to join and have a chat to us,
just request, I'll bring you up. That's no worries at all um so psych because i guess people that
are listening don't understand the flow or how it would work say you would go and try and claim
a token say like the is it kato kaito i don't know how to pronounce it um what would the flow
be to connect your wallet to something like that?
Sorry, you're connecting your wallet to what, sorry?
To just a random DeFi platform that's like a social FI sort of situation.
Oh, so yeah, in that case, like they would just detect the wallet address when you log in.
So it doesn't matter what the wallet is.
So that's why we're completely wallet agnostic on the in and the output.
So essentially what happens is you would log in with an address that you've codelinked to,
and then they have that detected on their site.
And they essentially just then tap our API.
They can see that a codelink exists.
And then they can pull like whatever assets they want from that originating wallet.
So the vault that's been linked in, they can scan that for whatever on-chain activity
or holdings that they want to honor in their application.
So, you know, in the case of it being a DAP, it means that, you know,
you would be able to do something like um go in and access like a game so like in
the gaming side like if you were going to do something that was like uh like a particular
access pass for like a season like a season pass for for a game you would be able to keep that in
a vault just cold link to like whatever the wallet is that you want to sign in with and just keep all that
stuff safe so especially with things like if you've got something that in is in your vault that is
like automatically getting airdropped like particular things it means you also don't need
to interact with your vault as often to like push that push those assets out into additional wallets
to put those into a hot wallet.
You can just cold link those vaulted assets
and let them drip in and airdrop into a vault
and not really need to spread all your assets out anymore.
Obviously, good SecOps is to not really touch
your vault at all,
don't give additional permissions, anything like that.
And the fact that cold link works on the L1 transaction means that there's just zero risk
there.
Like you can't actually put your assets at risk with the transaction type because you
can just do it through a ledger, like through a ledger live that's on a different computer
than you are even interacting with Coldlink on.
So yeah, in particular, like we've seen like a huge amount of interest from apes,
a huge amount of interest from punks and groups that have traditionally haven't been able to link.
So if you can think of a particular asset that, you know,
you wouldn't be comfortable interacting with anything with, that's now possible.
I think the point is most people don't want to risk their assets, right?
Like we've collected them, whether they're worth $5 or $500,000,
like the act of collecting them is with the intention of keeping them for most
people.
So now you're able to participate,
acknowledging that ownership at the most casual level to do the tiniest little interactions
or, you know, the most large of transfers or claims
or whatever with the same security level.
So it is completely air-gapped and secure,
which is a very exciting premise.
And it is once you've got the link in place,
like if you did select a burner for a year,
that is a universal link.
So it means that if you're using that Ethereum burner with 15 different applications that support Coldlink,
you can just connect your vault for a year
to a second Ethereum address
and use that for as long as you like
across like anyone that's tapping the CodeLink API.
So it's not a one-for-one deal at all.
So it means like in terms of adoption,
the broader that we get adopted,
the easier it's going to be for all users
that have CodeL links already in place
to move across the ecosystem. Cool. So that is a good point. So for people listening,
when you're creating cold links, they are ephemeral in the sense that once they're gone,
they're gone. They're burnt. We don't retain the data of that on the public side, private API portals down the line, that's determined
on the owner of the portal and the data that you're willing to allow them to save in terms
of how you're interacting with those cold links and what you're creating within certain
people's different ecosystems.
But for the public side of things, you just choose how long or how little
you want your cold link to exist for it can be as little as a day um and as long as a year currently
so um that offers opportunity to as like mentioned do casual things like um hop in and test a game
which is a use case that we needed coldlink for, which is, you know,
one of the reasons why we made it. Or do something like Discord verification, which obviously you
wouldn't want to keep linking to every day. It makes more sense to have it for a full year
or longer in some instances. So let's get onto the gaming stuff because that is essentially why we created cold link so
when we got so far into the process of um our tcg and the testing of that is on steam um obviously
there were quite a few hurdles to um actually getting people to be able to not only be acknowledged
as um holders of dead fellas but rewarded in game for holding
certain tokens and all of that.
So basically, I want you, if you're listening and you're thinking about, okay, so what
possibilities does this open up?
Coldlink essentially means that Web3 games and Web2 games don't necessarily have to stay either or.
Like they can be both.
You can have now Web3 reward systems and ownership recognition in Web2 platforms already without any crazy dev work or anything like that.
or anything like that, like we can acknowledge and reward, say, if you have a Deadfellas token,
or if you've been playing certain games for so long, or whatever, you can earn things in Web2
games now. Anyway, I'll let Sike get into it. But it's honestly so wild what can happen now.
And we're very excited about it. So it's like how would that work like how does
it work if you want to say you've got an nft community and you want to let's use fortnite
as an example say you want to reward people in your community somehow in fortnite how would that
happen uh epic's probably and like a complex one to explain,
the same as kind of like explaining the endpoints for iOS
and that kind of thing.
The easier one to explain would just be the direct one with Steam
that we're working on for the TCG right now under DFC Labs.
So like in that case, you just go in,
you would input your address that has deadfellas,
you'd input your username that's on Steam,
and then on our side, the game just pulls in the API information
of saying, like, here's the address that holds deadfellas,
here's the usernames for the Steam profiles,
and then we just reward your access and can give you access to the cards that
you own um based on that so it just means that the game itself can be essentially completely
uh web 2. it means that it can exist across like multiple different uh like platforms multiple
devices and we're going to be able to honor the Web3 holdings that you have without needing to have like a secondary login.
Like the minute you boot the game, there's no like additional like login sequence or anything like that.
It just can piggyback on top of basically any native login system so that you're not adding additional steps, you're not adding additional risk or putting demands on top of a developer
to have a Web3 wallet login or anything like that,
especially with the security burdens
that come with wanting to have a Web3 login
on a Web2 application.
That's just not necessary anymore.
You can just go to CodeLink,
link it up to your user ID that's on not necessary anymore. You can just go to Coldlink, link it up to your user ID
that's on the particular platform, and just go from there.
The developer will be able to pull in the API
and give you your rewards or however you want to handle that.
Crazy.
Savvy, I want to say hello to you because you joined the stage.
How are you going?
Jam, Jam. Jam, what do you want to say hello to you because you joined the stage. How are you going? Jam, jam.
Jam, what do you have to say?
What would you like to add?
Am I audible?
I just want to come down.
What?
Am I audible?
Yes, yes, you are.
All right, I jam to everyone.
I could link. Yes, yes, you are. Hi, hi, GM to everyone. Hi, Colink.
I just have a few suggestions.
Okay.
Okay, I feel like Colink has an impressive use case,
and I feel like they are not buttressing on the use case is enough for the users.
What do I mean?
Like, I feel like the content out on the, on the pages are too technical for the users.
We need to like create user stories to know like, to further drive the use cases Colink has because the average user of Colink
wouldn't be a developer, right?
So you have to look for a way to actually tell
and show the users what Colink really does
without the technical terms, right?
I can see an API, right?
The last post here, automated public API key, right?
And now an average user wouldn't know what that means, right?
But then if you tell a story using what,
like what Betty said, integrating Web 2
and Web 2 and Web 3 games,
the users can understand that,
okay, this is what CodeLib does.
This is how I can implement it.
And secondly, I also want to point out, is there a community yet for it?
Because I'm looking for a link to join the community.
I haven't found one.
That's my input.
Yeah, so, I mean, we are one week, not even one week into Coldlink as an existing company and product.
Yeah.
So we do obviously understand that people need use cases in terms of being able to visualize and digest how it could possibly be used.
However, in order to get those use cases, we do need to focus on the developers
because without developers, there aren't any use cases.
The developers are the ones that are integrating it first.
It is not something that you can just um you know immediately show like this this is how
it's implemented into games because it isn't implemented into any games yet um we're using
it in our own ecosystem but in order for it to be implemented into games we are speaking to the
people that are doing that which is developer first so the approach for cold link is we are speaking to the people that are doing that, which is developer first. So the approach for Coldlink is we are in beta only just,
and it is a developer first approach with user second
because without the integrations,
there are no places for the users to actually integrate with it.
I'll let Syke take over because he's got his hand up.
Hey, Savvy.
Yeah, I appreciate those suggestions, and they're completely correct.
So essentially where we are at in terms of rollout is, like Betty said,
we're very developer heavy right now because we are hand-holding
most of our early integration partners.
We're just issuing their test API keys today to push those out across like their developers
in their own individual circles.
So you completely correct in that like we need those case studies
to appeal at a user level to just kind of see like,
hey, so what's in this for me?
Like why should I even like care about CodeLink?
And the answer to that is that's essentially just like,
that's the phase two of this. Like right now we are very, um, developer heavy. And so that's why
a lot of like the, the, the wording that you see is focused on development, focused on the potential
for like, say gaining users and things like that. Uh, and like cross chain opportunities for like
cross chain campaigns and things like that is because
you need to appeal to the developers and seeing how that's going to benefit their audience.
In terms of adoption at the developer level, it's all gone very well.
We have a significant amount of early integration partners, but it does take some time to get
them actually integrated.
A kid called Beast moved very, very quickly.
They had it integrated on day one the moment we sent them their API keys.
But as for other groups,
you know, most engineers or like development teams will have like at least
two to three to four weeks of development
like already scheduled out.
So we're working with those teams to supply them you know
like all the API documentation their test keys and working through with them on like what their
you know their earliest use cases are so that will be our focus likely for even the next month
and then in terms of development on our side is endpoints and new L1s supported. So like our outreach will be the developer communities
across there as well. So say like with XRP and Cardano that we're planning to
add in soon at the L1 side, like that will also be developer outreach. And like as we have those
case studies that emerge from the developer uptake, we will have those user focused stories
like you say. And then also on the community side, that is a good point. And we're actually in active,
I guess, like motion on that point, particularly because Coldlink lives under DFC Labs, which also
is home to like the IP side with Deadellas, and also the gaming side with Death
Touch that has the direct implementation of Coldlink. So we're going to be pulling it in
all under DFC Labs. And so there will be a community side active quite soon if you want
to join a Discord or a Telegram to hang out and talk about Coldlink.
to hang out and talk about Coldlink.
I hope that answers your questions and feedback.
Yeah.
I think it's awesome.
You've answered all my questions, yeah.
I think, yeah, it takes time to build a group product, right?
Go through the better phase and all of the other phases. Yeah. I'm glad to, yeah.
Do you want to mention kind of like, I guess, what's going on with the Polkadot community and say like how the kind of collectible scene is over there?
Why say that again?
Just with Polkadot, I was just going through your profile
and I noticed that you seem quite involved
with the Polkadot community.
What's the NFT and token community like over there?
Well, I just recently took a quick,
I call it sneak peek into Polkadot actually.
Quite new in the ecosystem, but I got bullish on them because, well, they got a Polkadot 2.0 coming up.
And I'm still digging into that to know what that is all about.
So that's basically what it is.
As for NFTs and DeFiy in general i think we are
still building we have a long way to go on that yeah that's better whatever now yeah
we will be adding that endpoint soon for polka dots so like if there's any polka dot
collections or nfts that are coming to market you'll be able to uh you know invite the
the other l1s over to um check it out that are supported like right now it would be ethereum
and um solana so there's some cool opportunities there for allow listing people based on their
holdings across those two chains um for polka dot communities that are looking to launch new things.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
I think user acquisition is a really big deal.
The amount of L1s and L2s and L3s that are in existence now and continue to be created, it's just massive massive and obviously they all exist in their own like
siloed ecosystems that do have hurdles to um participate in the next thing the next thing
um and so this really it provides an opportunity to bring those walls down a little bit and allow
people to experiment across different chains and have their holdings and activity
acknowledged across those different chains.
I think that that is what quite a lot of different groups are focusing on right now.
So that's kind of exciting because they'll be able to use Coldlink as a tool.
um to your point yeah it is uh it is a lot of work um building a company in terms of um one that is a
is providing a service like it's very very different to launching like a an nft project
or something like that because the sale you know at the sale point when you're launching an nft
project it's all about the mint and then it's all about like post mint and you've got um you know all of this kind of um I guess it's predictable now at this
point um what happens you know and and the conversations that you have when you're launching
a product or a tech flow it's very very very different um because as as you said like the the user focus um you can't
really lead with that because there's nothing for them there's nothing for them to use you can use
cold link right now if you want to create cold links between eth and salt eth and salt solid
that's cool you can go to coldlink.xyz and have a play around with it now and you can use it at a,
you know, in a, in a permissionless way, like regardless of what you hold or regardless
of what wallet you're using for those chains.
Yeah, you can, you can do that now.
And, and that's awesome.
But realistically, it needs to be in the natural experience of what people are interacting with when they're online or on chain or, you know, wherever they are.
And that just takes time because it's added as we go.
The cool thing about this is we have launched in beta.
So we're essentially able to iterate and build in response and in collaboration with partners and, you know, in response to demand that comes up as well, which is really cool.
We have had some conversations this week that, you know, have brought in like unexpected focuses.
And you would never know that if you weren't building, I guess I hate this phrase, but like building in public, which is essentially what Coldlink is doing.
Like it's a product that is complete and ready and beautiful, but constantly going to be added to and made to be as robust as possible, as interoperable as possible.
It will be basically everywhere um it's like
to get back to the gaming stuff um can we talk a little bit about what it might look like um
i know we've spoken about steam um i do want to kind of touch a little bit on um the streaming
aspect of of gaming because obviously we have our stream
team that work primarily on Twitch.
There's also the streaming function on X now and people, you know, creating streaming content
for TikTok and wherever else.
Where is the integration there?
Like what is the benefit of cold link in those instances?
So you can cold link, like you'll soon be able to cold
link to your Twitch username. So that'll mean things like if you're a streamer, say if you
stream in a particular community or say if you're a streamer that has released like tokens or some
kind of thing yourself, you'll be able to like have a list of people that are in your chat or however you want to interact
with people that you can give rewards based on like what they hold so it means like you can just
essentially um like token gate say like you've got a uh like a play with the streamer in game
type um situation so it's like you'll invite people into the lobby to play like say call of duty with
you or something um you know like if there's a particular streamer for a community that
people want to jump into the lobby with you can now token gate that just by cold linking to the
um the twitch username which you would also be able to a cold link to a uh say like a playstation
id to then um like have that list up against that as well so that you know who
to invite on whatever platform you're gaming on so yeah there's a lot of cool integrations there
and then also like in the future like as we work with different groups get closer to groups like
abstract and the ones that are like really pushing forward on streaming that's where some like really
cool kind of like baked down integrations
can happen, like rewarding for views or, you know, doing airdrops into the chat and things
like that. There's lots of different, you know, benefits of how you could code link
to a username anywhere.
How would airdrops in the chat work?
So that would be something where the developer actually activates the handshake.
So what happens is cold link at a base level doesn't have a handshake, which is a privacy thing.
It means that you can essentially cold link assets to a second destination without that being like an official, you know, like semi KYC.
Like if it was a wallet that had some level of identity attached. Say like if you're cold linking to your X account,
you don't want that to be something where you're admitting
that that is your wallet.
Whereas a handshake is slightly different.
It means that the developer on their side would allow you
to select from a dropdown of what cold link you want rewards
to go back to.
So it means that like you can have that backflow
of the developer wishes it, which a few different groups
are looking to implement.
Obviously, at a base level, it's beneficial for it
to act like a gift in most use cases.
But if you do want a backflow, it's completely supported
through just tapping the same API and essentially putting
that in as the address that will receive rewards.
That's crazy. So when you talk about the interoperability in gaming, you mentioned
PlayStation IDs. So I think let's touch on that a little more because obviously there are a lot of people building games.
There's a lot of people playing games.
We saw the announcement from Forgotten Ruins the other day where, you know, they have announced that they're basically approved for development across all of the major consoles.
And so what does that mean for Cold Link?
So for Cold Link, like there's certain different things like
like in games in particular like if you're looking at something like the um the runiverse game like
they have a lot of like like land ownership right so while when you're approved for like a direct
kind of deployment across like these different platforms there's always a security risk that's just inherent to um to crypto in general and so like what cold link allows you to do is to keep
any kind of like um high value asset in a in like an actual decentralized wallet that isn't at risk
so you know like if you were having cold link attached to say a, um, like a particular game.
So you can imagine that like, if you logged into a, say like, uh, uh, like
counter-strike say, and that's just like a generic account.
Like there's no real like significant security on the account unless you've
got some TFA on it.
And imagine on that counter-strike account account you suddenly like unlock a skin that's
worth $200,000 like you would just shit yourself because it's just sat there in your Steam account
so what Coldlink allows is like that you would be able to Coldlink in a vault into your Steam
account and then the developer can just decide hey so like anything over this threshold of
like $100 we'll send those collectibles back to the
vault that they've selected.
We won't keep them on their hot login.
So it allows a lot of safety to kind of come into play around the online gaming side.
And when it comes to PlayStation IDs, every system is a little bit different. Like Apple switches the game up like all the time.
Like there's no kind of universal UUID anymore.
It's all like developer specific.
So in that use case, like you would code link to a user ID and then the developer actually
has like a, you have like a UUID.
I can't remember what the exact term is, but it's like a UUID I can't remember what the exact term is but
it's like a UUID that spins up on the spot for the developer that's specific so it means like
that developer if they've got five apps you've got like a UUID against like those five applications
so that's what you would be able to like pull into your backhand through Coldlink is you would
have the username and then that would spin up on the iOS side like
their unique like numerical code that is like more universal in that use case but it's a little bit
different for each one but the the base point is that like you can cold link to to anything unless
there's like some huge hurdle that we haven't actually hit any yet across any
ecosystem. So as of right now, the world's kind of your oyster with like what you would be able
to implement if you tap the Coldlink API. And we're just, you know, the only reason we don't
have 200 different endpoints right now is just because we're MVP. We need to make sure that
when something is going
live into production, that it's not breaking other things that we can keep a handle on,
you know, things like load testing. So the potential is unlimited, but our development
capacity is unlimited. So we just need to take the right steps forward to like make sure that
each new endpoint is tested, load tested,
and everything's, you know, working well. I guess it's also consumer behavior and developer
behavior and expectations as well. Because, you know, for so long, I guess for the entire
existence of Web3 gaming, people are used to working within set limitations and trying to anticipate and
figure out issues like interoperability and on-chain rewards and all of that sort of thing
whereas now the majority of those hurdles don't actually exist when you implement
cold link and its capabilities and so for a lot of people, we're having a lot of
conversations behind the scenes with gaming developers because there are so many more
possibilities and capabilities. You can stretch, I guess, the definition of what Web3 is and what
Web2 is and how they interact with each other so far with this that
it is quite an exciting concept and it will redefine Web3 gaming, right?
Yeah. No, I think that it's definitely going to have a significant impact as we roll out those
endpoints and refine it with the early partners. And I think that like, essentially what happens is like, it lessens the, the kind of, uh, I guess,
like burden on the developer to try and find workarounds,
which I think is definitely an element of the entire EVM ecosystem across like
the L2 L3, um, you know, and rollups and everything else that,
you know, a lot of those were trying to fix problems that you know might be 70 to 80
fixed by cold link right so like some developers that are like kind of forcing across um users
into like a bridge type situation may not even actually need to go through that bridging or like
l2 token transfer or like you know all sorts of airdrop solutions and things that people
were going through, like desperately trying to find this way for someone to like, say, interact
with their game cheaply when it's like they could have just called linked to like a Web2 database on
the application. And so like, you know, there's an element of centralization to CodeLink on the application. And so like, you know, there's a, there's an element of centralization to,
to CodeLink on the developer side at the same time,
like that same centralization exists at the developer side, whether they've,
you know, got that smart contract on a, uh,
like an L2 custom token contract or anything like that. So yeah,
it's, it's the same level of, um,
centralization
that I think that not everyone always understands
like how some of those systems work,
especially in terms of server access and asset access,
like all being essentially decided by a developer.
We do talk about centralization and decentralization,
I think, with a sweeping brush.
And to me, when we talk about decentralization and the ownership of assets and the security of those assets, in reality, I don't think the majority of users around the world are ready for true decentralization in terms of, you know, like the whole not your keys, not your crypto thing.
I think people would lose their minds if that were to be something
that were completely across the board.
And I think it would invite quite a lot of issues right away
because then we move into user behavior and habit and you know best practice and I don't
think we've even gotten to those points yet in this industry like there isn't you know that we
all know what is kind of best or what is safest in terms of how to interact with developments on
on blockchain and with your wallet and everything like that. It's been like,
check the link a million times, make sure that you're rescinding permissions after the fact and
all of this sort of stuff. Don't click links, don't trust anyone, use a hard wallet, use delegate
solutions, all of this stuff. It's all still really risky. So Coldlink really does remove so much of the risk in the process of just being and
interacting with anything in this world that we've created. But changing user behavior and
expectation to not having to connect your wallet and show your assets automatically for anything is going to be a process.
So that is going to take time.
And it's hopefully in the near future we'll start to see some data
around hacks reducing hopefully.
And, you know, you see all those stories online of some terrible things
and people losing
all this stuff, just trying to play a game.
And like you've said this before,
but it's always the people that are the most passionate about the space that
are losing their assets because they're the ones that are trying things out.
Right.
Yeah.
At least in the, like the, the dead fellow circles, like the,
the most passionate, like most creative, most active, like builders and players and everything like that.
We're always the ones losing their assets because they were just up to trying different things.
And so like that definitely had a huge dampening effect across like every community in Web3 was the users typically that like weren't just a flat investor
and typically didn't actually have the capital
to rebuy into the communities that they loved
were the ones that were getting shook out through phishing attacks
and through different, you know, stuff links and things like that
just because, you know, they were the ones that were active
that are on the ground doing cool stuff and just trying shit out,
especially like
in the interoperable asset kind of fields across metaverse you know games and things like that
which just inherently always had a lot of risk like until now with cold link so that's why we're
like heavily targeting a lot of the metaverse platforms and things like that for adoption so
that they can finally make use of a lot of the interoperable assets. Like, like at least for us, like dead fellas, like our percentage, like
of use across interval assets was incredibly low. And the, like the feedback that we got was always
that like, I just don't want to connect my wallet, which is only worse. It's right. Like after
a particular collection has been out for say four years
especially if you've got it as your digital identity online um you know and then amplified
even further if you look at someone that says on the stream team streaming like if they lose their
ability to access those assets that they've built up an ip around for themselves
build up an ip around for themselves that's a a huge loss that's like just not necessary um to
actually have that risk there in the first place so yeah cold leg makes possible for for those
types of users and like any kind of user really um to be able to like make the most of their assets
make the most of their on-chain history um putting themselves at risk, which is how we keep the ecosystem healthy
because the people that are doing the cool shit get to stick around.
Yeah.
We will talk about this a bit more in depth in the future, in the near future,
because it is a really great solution for people.
But when we're talking about utilising Coldlink,
the cost of it is so low to implement for teams, and that is intentional. It's done that way, because we do see the
innovation and sort of the brilliance of grassroots teams that have built themselves a place in this industry without connection or whatever
resources in the same way that the larger teams have.
These guys are so innovative but don't have the resources necessarily to solve the problems
that Coldlink does inherently solve.
So we are really hoping that through the integration of this and the solving of those things without them having to outlay, you know, so much, they can focus on other stuff and we start to see some really cool things pushing out.
for like artists as well to tap in and to go back to the airdrop thing,
like to tap into this and use it really easily to be able to do things
that are simple for larger teams but are hard for individuals
or small teams is like just airdropping and whitelisting, right?
Like that's hard for people to do without a big team or without the know-how.
I know that building in Web3 is intimidating when you're just starting
and this is hopefully a solution for people to do more with less, right?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
So even at a, like you've mentioned a few times even at a cto level it means that like
any like existing community where like if you were just on twitter like you just like a particular
community if you want to you know go talk to a game or talk to a like merchandiser or like any
business in existence basically like you would be able to through
cold link connect them up and just send the distributor or the game or whoever it is that
you've spoken to um a list of names to give a benefit to which you know from the from the
business perspective is just additional you know um customers for a particular thing. Like if you've got a developer heavy community, you could go try and speak to,
you know, some development type application or some development type,
you know, community somewhere.
Like even if it's hackathons in a main city somewhere,
like you would be able to set those events up and codelink to them.
So there's
a lot of opportunity there to activate groups that you know like maybe you've felt a bit powerless
to actually activate in a cto way an existing community that you love um you can do that through
through code linking it sort of brings to life the idea of the metaverse right like i know we
we all spoke about the metaverse and this beautiful interoperable utopia that we
envisioned in 2021 when everyone started creating all of these communities and ecosystems within
blockchain-based spaces.
But in reality, the hurdles that exist and the things that prevent you from actually freely moving around
with your assets um made that near impossible and almost like quite funny and a bit a bit naive to
to look at and speak about I've always looked at um the internet as the metaverse but now it
truly can be with this because you really can um you really can take your digital assets
anywhere you go, right?
Like there is kind of no limit there,
which is cool, the thought of that.
Yeah, no, definitely.
Like the data interoperability has always been
like a core piece of the metaverse puzzle.
Like a lot of people have felt that way
since the very beginning because it is essentially just, you know, recognition of data at the end of the day from one platform to another.
So I think like just the fact that you can like even something like on-chain history through cold linking, like it makes a lot of things simpler in terms of like who you want to target, who you want to give access to, like things like that, like even just, you know,
like a cross chain invitation order to invite like the top 1000 players from a
particular game over to your new game, because you want to host a tournament.
Like that shouldn't have been impossible, you know,
like it's kind of ridiculous, even even thinking about it kind of like with the
metaverse kind of thesis that like those just so many hurdles that are now kind of not really there with code linking.
So, yeah, excited to like kind of see the adoption level just make so many like obvious use cases possible now.
Yeah. Yeah. I think when industries are blossoming as Web3 is or has been, which is a bit low to say after such a big bear market.
But, you know, I think that we get ahead of ourselves and we kind of skip steps and the act of doing things because we can rather than doing things because we should starts to
take over like I think in terms of um the things that you can build and code using the tech is is
so impressive but often just built to an audience that can't actually use it doesn't have any use
for it and doesn't understand it like all of the bridging solutions and the delegation solutions and you know well
yes they've they've been built and they're they're great they're they're functional um
they're not they're not really efficient or safe they're not optimized um for absolute security
it's almost like a lot of the stuff has been done to show it can be done rather than being
done because it needed to be done if that makes sense and i feel like a lot of the stuff has been done to show it can be done rather than being done because it needed to be done.
If that makes sense, then I feel like a lot of resources have been wasted across the industry that way.
Often solutions to very complex problems are actually very simple, which is basically what Coldlink is.
We've taken a few steps back and looked at some foundational issues
that affect the entire industry
and the entire ecosystem.
And this is really essentially the glue
to all digital spaces now,
which is very, very exciting.
The use cases that we speak about now
are very low-hanging fruit
compared to the things that are capable
and will come down the line.
So we're very excited to continue speaking about that.
If you're just joining the spaces now,
we're one week into Coldlink
and we're just going to be doing random spaces all the time.
Whether there's 10 people in here or 500 people in here,
it just doesn't matter.
We're going to be speaking about this basically constantly.
Coldlink is the very first universal wallet agnostic,
chain agnostic verification tool.
It allows you to connect any blockchain address to anything else
without any smart contract interaction or blind signing.
So it is a completely safe, air-gapped, rather, secure process
that allows you complete freedom of movement with your digital assets
across any space, whether it's IRL, whether it's on-chain,
whether it's in Web2.
There are no limitations anymore.
So we are one week in.
We're in beta.
We have 150-plus test flight partners integrating behind the scenes for various use cases, whether it is small or large, whether it's for their whole ecosystem or just a small aspect of it.
So we're a developer first at the moment because that is where the use cases are going to flourish from.
And we look forward to be able to share those stories with you um as we go
together i appreciate all of you in this space that have um been in and out thank you very much
for giving us your time cold link is actually completely squashed on social media it got flagged
mass reported for spam which is fun in its first couple of days. So if you would share this space and interact with anything you see from
Coldlink, I would appreciate that.
That would be great.
We are onto it behind the scenes.
I have managed to get a real person at X,
so hopefully we get some help with that.
Until then, thank you very much for your support.
If you're a developer listening to this and you want to integrate the API key,
issuance is live.
It's $10 USD in ETH on coldlink.xyz.
My DMs are open.
Sykes DMs are open.
We're here for anything you need
and we look forward to the future together.
So thank you so much.
I hope you have a lovely day or evening
wherever you are in the world. I'll let Sykes say goodbye as well. See you guys. thank you so much. I hope you have a lovely day or evening wherever you are in the world.
I'll let's say goodbye as well.
See you guys.
Thank you for coming.
We'll keep doing these spaces regularly
and updating you on new capabilities of CodeLink
as we add in the new chains and new endpoints.
Yeah.
And creating those community channels
for people to share ideas with as well
because I think it's important that as we build, developers are also able to share ideas and help each other along as well.
So anyway, going to go.
Thanks so much, guys.
Have a great day.
And we'll speak soon.
