GMGM everybody let's just do a quick mic check before we get started yeah this is a
with a workshop. Can you hear me okay? Yeah, not unclear. Crash, Mike cheek. Yeah, this is Crash with Wi-Fi, I'm going to invite Bri up to speak as well, these I see him here.
sounds good. And Tim Dow will just test your microphone as well. Oh yeah, I can hear you. Can you hear me? I'm Lucia Ma. Okay. Thank you.
So I think we shall get started once Ray joins. How does that
crash. What should we get started now?
Crash are you there? Yeah, I think we can get started. Okay, perfect sounds good. Well, first things first everybody. Thanks for joining this
to what a space today/tonight GMDM, wherever you are in this world, is currently Friday at a clock over here in Bangkok, Thailand, where I'm currently based, but I'm super excited to be hosting the space alongside the team at Y Foundry, Tim Dowl and Community. I think we have
have a really exciting talk coming up. We are going to be talking about community building and Dow talk. And I'm super excited, you know, we've been working on a lot of things over the past couple of weeks over here at Metopia. Most recently we finished our Valentine's Day campaign, which we partnered with 10 different
communities ranging from mid-verses to NFTs, to DeXes to create this campaign that we've most recently finished and we're quite happy with the results we had over a thousand new wallets addresses signed up to the platform and we have just come back from Denver as well and now we're preparing to head over to Dubai and then to
Tokyo in the next couple of weeks. So it's a bit hectic, but there's a lot of things going on. But yeah, that is what's been happening in past couple of weeks for me toopia. I can't wait to introduce the guests. Well, I won't be introducing the guests, actually. I'll let them introduce themselves. But yeah, how is everyone doing?
great. I assume. Well, we don't know what it is. Not it. Yeah. No, maybe I'll just, we'll get the ball rolling then. I'm if that's the case. I love to start these Twitter spaces.
by giving the floor to the guests to introduce themselves and the project that they represent. So we started with Ray from Y Foundry. It's been a while since we last spoke on the Bid Free Futurist podcast, but how are things with you guys?
Things are going good. We've finished the contract audits to release the platform since the last time we spoke. We're just in the process of wrapping up the UI and we
We've made some announcements about deploying multi-chain in the cosmos. So things are going good. It's just a matter of doing the work and getting things out the door at this point.
That's amazing and good to see that you guys made some progress. I think the last time we caught up was maybe maybe two months ago already. It was quite a while ago. But time flies. So for those folks that aren't super familiar with why Foundry, do you mind giving a introduction into what you folks do? And yeah.
Yeah, so why foundry is basically a community based platform a crowdsource platform where anyone can join the community and then propose ideas or propose platforms or protocols or NFT project.
and then the community votes on those project proposals and funds those proposals itself and then approved developers from the community that are already white listed then do the development work or whatever is required to get those projects
launched. So it's essentially removing the centralization piece that's currently required in most chains and platforms where you're going to a centralized group to ask for funding, whereas this is actually the community funding itself on the interest that it has.
Amazing. Thank you so much for that and I'm sure we're going to dive a bit deeper and Sir I'm why foundry I'm a bit later on but before we do that it's past the floor on to Andrew Hey pleasure to be here Alright, so I'm Andrew from rifters our company is community first games and we have built a
a series of different games that are meant to engage communities. They're played by different DAOs, both cooperatively and against one another. So the first game we have is Richter's. It's a MOCERTG, Mass Online Community Event World Playing Game. It is a two-dimensional
a story narrative game where it's a role-playing game, it's fantasy, and you're fighting against goblins and acquiring treasure and then competing for a prize pool against both other players or their dows. So that's the first big game that we've launched. It launched a number of months ago. I think we've worked through most
of the bugs now. It's a live game. It started on Salona. It's dropping on Ethereum here pretty soon. We actually have a new thing that is about to drop. I'm hoping you can get your test against today, but it might actually be like Monday. We have a thing called the Sentience Project, and the Sentience Project gives life to different NFTs. So any of the
collections that we are working with. You can actually log into the system. It identifies that you own a given NFT, one of ours or one of our many partners. And you can brief life in that NFT, turn it into a sentient AI-powered personality. You can design some of its personality. You can give it a couple attributes, give it a
description given a name, but then it has a life of its own. You can talk to it, you can play games with it, you can put it on Twitter, and it will comment and like and retweet your tweets or Elon Musk's or whoever you set it on. And it now has a personality and is alive.
We can mostly guarantee that this won't cause an AI driven Armageddon. The fact that we're going to do this for 100,000 plus NFTs, it's going to be a lot of unique AIs that are going to be out there that are based on people's avatars. So that's something that we're launching here very soon.
That is pretty damn cool. I have to say. Before we dive deeper into that project, let's give the four over to the team at TMDAL.
Hi, we are the Timodown team and Timodown is a platform providing services for world heritage and cultural assets protection projects via its ecosystem covering the whole life cycle of those projects.
projects. We aim to engage all the stakeholders through the Dow governance. We think Dow is the best way for people to participate in wild hate age and cultural protection because they bear the value belonging to all mankind.
sub-countries, and its protection should be diversified, decentralized, and transparent. So a first-term Dow helps World Heritage Project to establish their own Dow organizations, obtaining funds
At the same time, the development of IP NFT will strengthen the financial attributes of what hey, age and cultural assets. And assist their commercialization in confirmation of rights.
Third, the TimDows information and resource exchange platform uses our token named our token called Tim as a link to breakdown the information barriers between different projects in the world and enhance advantages and offset
These are the advantages of all projects. And what is important is that the project operation mutual evaluation mechanism exposes each project into public view. As is it's reasonable and efficient operation and builds their
reputation system. Yes, that's it. Thank you so much for that and I also want to talk a bit about reputation later on because I think that's actually quite important and a couple of our projects in this space today I actually focus on reputation and and Dow governance.
But before we get into that, I want to talk about the inspiration of how these projects came about. So maybe I'll pass it on to Crash or Ray. What was the inspiration behind creating Wifioundry and how does it really differentiate from other projects in the space?
Yeah, so why Foundry was really started because the founder who's not here, clean, wanted to do some strategies and do some financial investment ideas on other platforms, but give
getting the attention and getting the time and developers to develop those ideas on other platforms ended up being, you know, too much for the other platforms to invest in. It wasn't, you know, it wasn't their vision and so they didn't have time for
And so what he had decided to do was create a platform that basically allowed individuals who had ideas that they wanted to get to market to be able to present those ideas and to crowdsource those funds and develop those ideas.
those ideas themselves instead of having to rely on another team, looking at essentially, instead of having to build a platform, build a brand yourself, now people can just join Y Foundry, present their ideas, and enter those ideas into the community marketplace.
Yeah, and I think the only thing I would add is as time has gone on and has situations have happened in the market that have really disrupted, you know, some of the projects, not only Y Foundry, but others. I think that it's kind of ingrained in the DNA of Y Foundry.
the whole concept of using smart contracts as the trustless third party and having more governance tooling for projects that want to manage themselves without an intermediary or a centralized authority that they're trusting with their funds, which is kind of what it's all about.
Thanks for that guys and honestly I love how you folks has complemented each other really well in these kind of situations right? That's great. Rift's AKA Andrew. I also want to ask the same question about the inspiration behind the project and how it really
differentiates from others in the space. Yeah, so it's actually got a really specific inspiration and differentiation. So we are a gaming company, so we do make a variety of different games and approaching gaming from a variety of different angles. But the real inspiration is
I encountered about a year ago basically the fact that communities are looking for things to engage their members. Everybody here has their own community. They want things to do that drive conversation, that drive engagement inside of their own community.
of the gaming space is lots of people are building games to try to create their own community and pull people from wherever they're currently hanging out to hang out in their spot. And I saw what I thought was a really massive opportunity to, instead of building games that focus around building just your own community, build games
of build solution, build things that are utilities for others to use so that you can help drive the engagement in existing communities. That will really be our benchmark for success. We have achieved that at various points in time. I think right now it's a little less than it has been, but the idea is to actually
So the idea isn't just like, hey, we're going to get people to come buy something, right? The idea is actually, no, we're going to connect this to someone else's collection so that maybe why Foundry is really interested in having their NFTs.
be animated and alive and sentient. Okay great. Well we can partner with them as a project and now the thing that we've built relates to their entities. So our inspiration, our starting point is really how do we build things that include in our four other communities that are out there?
Thanks for that Andrew and some questions to Tim Dow what was the inspiration behind creating your project and how does it really differentiate from others in the space we actually had on quantum temple About a month ago and we spoke about the importance of cultural heritage which I assume
has some overlap with Tim Dow. So yeah, how does it really differentiate from other projects in space? Okay, so actually what inspired us is the COVID-19 because the COVID-19 has made visible that division
of the world and what has been one of the most affected is culture with thought and in particular history culture, heritage is facing a financial crisis. So we got a passion to solve these challenges and maintain world heritage and
and the curvature for the next generation. And yes, which is what led us to launch our theme of our project. And we learned that crowdfunding, which is a fundraising mechanism operated around the walls, as you know, has made
issues such as regulations and malicious fraud and we believe that these issues can be improved by applying Dow operations. And as I said, yes, we need to think about how to differentiate our project from other projects.
And the biggest point is, you know, a while crowdfunding itself, such as Github Coin, already has a narrow focus and specialized characteristics. We are actually
focusing on maintaining wild hate age and culture and passing it on to the next generation. So when I asked about the differentiation, I usually answer like we focus on the
protection of water hay teach. And I think so many enthusiastic people who want to protect their water hay teach and love traveling around the world to see cultural heritage will gather for us. Thank you.
Thank you so much for that. And now I also want to talk about the importance of community and community building in the space, right? I think with all your answers that you, I guess, provided, we've always touched on the idea of community and community building. So I guess what kind of strategy
has been most effective in attracting and retaining members and a time especially like now. I know with the lunar situation with you guys at YFoundry it almost brought the whole ecosystem together right so how have you managed to kind of maintain that and yeah
Yeah, I mean I'm not going to pretend that it's been it's been rainbows and that there hasn't been a hit because there absolutely has it's the bear market. Especially I think certain chains and just cosmos in general.
But that's something that we're absolutely working through. I mean, I think it's all about like keeping, you know, just keep building and keeping the core message. We've got a really strong, smaller core team of contributors. We do bounties. We do, you know, activities.
the team, you know, different individuals contribute to the DAO regularly outside of the, you know, kind of Genesis contributors. So I think it's about part. Excuse me. I think it's about partnerships with some of the other builders of the other projects.
know, just really lay in the foundation, a strong foundation for when the bear market ends and the bull market happens and then more people come in and then once that happens, you've got a really strong foundation for your Dow that people that are trusted and they can support this
scaling that needs to happen. So, optimistically, I think that this is the right way to do it. And realistically, there's probably not any other way that we could do it right now just because of the situation we're in. So, hopefully it is what it is. So, hopefully it works out.
Yeah, I love that saying it is what it is. It's such a catch-growing way to summarize a lot of things. Same question over to Andrew. How has community building been for your project? Yeah, so I actually have two different projects.
that I've launched. The first one was a company where I was the president but not the CEO that I exited a little while ago that was Community 3 and then this one which is a rifters and community first games. So in terms of initially building a community, you know having a strong clear
value proposition, regular AMAs and dialogue, and then incentivizing engagement. Those things will create a community very, very fast. I think I've launched the game that's had the most people play it on Salana by
I think I've failed that way more so than most people have because we had financial propositions as a core center stone of people investing in NFTs and post FTX those things have fallen through. We've lost way more than most people have in terms of engagement.
despite being a gaming company. So actually don't really have an answer for how do you maintain it in this current ecosystem. I don't know. I do know how to build a start with, but how to maintain it as of right now is something that I don't have. Right, and.
Give me the idea. After this question I want to talk about reputation and how that may benefit communities. But before we go into that, let's pass it on to Tim Dow and talk about the community building and what strategies have been effective.
All right, so actually our team Dow unique system has not been launched yet. So we are currently using the existing SNS to build up the team.com community and after that,
we'll just ask them to get into the theme of our unique community. So we are using the existing NN such as Twitter, Telegram, and Discord currently. And we believe that putting in a mechanism in a hasty manner
is not the only effective way to build a sustainable community. So we first created an opportunity to accumulate success for examples and achievements with existing mechanisms. So this has allowed us to gain recognition
of the project, gain and maintain members and gain insight into other issues and costs associated with existing structure, as well as how to spread information. Yes, that's it.
Cool, and crash and ray, I want to ask you about what you guys or your positions actually on reputation, especially in Dows.
we touched on it a couple of months ago a bit. Do you think it's a effective method of maybe maintaining or motivating a community to get some stuff done?
Yeah, I definitely do. I think that you can run into issues and you have to be kind of careful with what sort of incentives you're using for people doing the work of the Dow and it really needs to align with what you want the mission of the Dow to be long term.
short term, maybe projects like why Foundry could have scaled, maybe they could scale faster if they do something that's more financial sort of incentives, but we've instead looked at the concept of, it's a contributor, like a truly decentralized
The builders own the platform contributors are the ones that we're trying to attract. Builders in the space and people that want to use the ecosystem. So, you know, kind of seeding the Dow with those sort of builders that can
can have that sense of intrinsic ownership over the kind of mission of what's going on and just going from there. So we're using reputation points right now for that, but that's really what we're imagining the YFD token and some of the governance
mechanisms being based off of that. And then we have a lot more to talk about from an NFT perspective and the potential there to use, you know, reputational NFTs to kind of supplement or replace some of the features in the future. Cassie Ray wants to chime in, so I'll pass it over to him.
Yeah, I was just going to add to what Crash is saying. He's kind of elaborating on the points. We're not we're, but the Dow, I guess I should say, is essentially going to try some new things. I know that we're really looking at in the current ecosystem, everything is driven by proof of stake essentially.
which means that if you have the most money you have the most influence and really what wife foundry is looking to do is to move to a proof of reputation proof of contribution aspect where one of the things that the wife foundry is doing at launch is not providing any liquidity for the platform at
So there's no way to acquire the tokens based on speculation or based on having existing assets. The DAO is looking to make it so that only individuals who contribute or interact with the DAO and its community directly have access to the token
and have access to the influence within the governance. So I think that's going to be something interesting going forward where it's not about getting some token to market to speculate or to provide a put all for the thing to operate, but rather to use, you know, I think it's our first step on the
to building a reputation-based economy within the Dow itself. That's amazing. I think there's actually a lot of overlap with what we talk here is going and why Foundry in terms of reputation establishment. So super excited to see
that there are more protocols out there that are more focused on reputation and not necessarily plutocracy. So I want to ask Kim Dow, being a Dow yourself, how do you envision the Dow and the future of governance in terms of decision making?
Okay, so in the early stages of the launching a project, project members feel the need to take the initiative in moving the project forward, but from the perspective of supporting cultures around the world,
the structure will not be feasible forever. In order to overcome these limitations caused by human resources, we hope that now we'll play a role in removing fraud and malicious behind a crowdfunding and encourage the use of blockchain
where information is disclosed to everyone. And while our focus is on maintaining and sustaining wild hate age and culture, we hope to provide a visible identity in the blockchain ecosystem by offering feedback
back to supporters who helped them and re-wrapped for the great Ds. We hope to provide a visible identity to each supporter on the blockchain ecosystem by providing feedback and re-wrapped for great Ds. Yes, that's it.
Cool, thanks for that. And Andrew, what do you think about what these two projects have spoken about? I'm not sure if Rift has a Dow yet or do you have any plans for launching a Dow?
We don't have a doubt yet. We might do it if there is a reason or a need for it. We're sort of attempting to be decentralized in a way that most projects aren't, and that we want to be a utility for others, so we want to help
power other dows. So even though we do have our own community, we do have our own group, the word dOW, it's sort of used just mean kind of like any group, but it shouldn't, it doesn't as I mean that. We're actually decentralized beyond that. Our true sort of successful mission would be if everybody else here was all using
some form of our engagement and gamification, so what our technology is being used by all of you guys. Less hey, we've gathered together and centralized, you know, a given group. So our mission is different, differently learned. So I don't know if we'll ever have a doubt. We still might, at some point in time, but we don't right now.
You can just turn all the AIs on and then build your own down. Why you even into people? It's like just double my community. You're a bunch of these sentient NFTs. Your community and your social presence would be doubled if it was like, okay, you're plugged into Sentient's project and everybody is using it.
and then you then have just like exactly double the social presence and a lot of the much higher ratio of comments. Well, I see I was actually just chatting with Ray on this because like is that really any worse than what we have right now like right now we have you know idiot meat bags and bots that we
We don't know if they're bots or not. Can you imagine this is an NFT and we actually do know it's a bot and that's fine. Like let it do its thing and it has its own personality. I could be interesting or it could take down the world of course. We got to put that in there. Yeah, I'm a little bit worried that Twins
for example, six months from now, like the level of body is going to be just way, way more. And people have asked when I'm in private discussions showing what we're doing to people like, "Hey listen, how do we use this to boost our social media?" I'm like, "No, no, this is for fun. This is to engage. This is to have interesting personalities having perspectives."
It's for fun. Don't try to use what the sentience thing we're doing to boost social numbers. A, it won't work as well as just going and buying cheesy bots that are just mass producing. But also, this is for fun and engagement. This is not to cheat the system. Because if everyone goes and tries to cheat the system, the system breaks.
Yeah, well I'm more interested in the fun and engaging for sure than just cheating the system and you know the bot armies.
Andrew, what do you think about the next six months you mentioned that you think there's going to be a lot more bots? I would think differently known with Elon being in power and all of that. Like he's clamping down on the amount of bots in the system, right? Well, I mean he might hate bots and he's strictly clear.
down. But Elon is a very specific and focused businessman whose goal is to make Twitter profitable. His goal is actually not to remove bots. He might think those two things are retwined. He's got a much smaller team. They're having to focus a lot more on just a few specific things. And the AI technologies to make bots
that's resemble humans, I think are going to outpace the ability to detect them. And what that does is it might dilute the value of Twitter. So I think it's highly likely because I know that the thing that we've just built, like it's actually still pretty detectable as a bot because of the fact that it doesn't have
Once people start to apply that to fully Twitter's detection methods, I think they're going to be pretty damn good at it because what I've seen from these AI's is that they're just so powerful on the chat side. And that's bad news for Twitter, it's bad news for all social media. When suddenly we can't tell the difference between
people and bots incentivizing engagement and you know a lot of things we're talking about here unfortunately get get harder and worse so i'm not looking forward to that i am looking forward to in the short run we can create a lot of fun we can create joy we can create engagement but what that does a year from now
I don't know, but it certainly looks not good for social media from my perspective. Well, you actually just said it. I mean, if someone has an intelligent response, you can just assume that's a bot and not a person, right? That's right. Is that how it's going to be going forward?
That's been my experience on Twitter, so. - Yeah, that will certainly be true of our Centine NFTs, right? So when people are in Discord and on Twitter and they're too often say something that's intelligent and a full sentence is like, "Okay, that's obviously a bot." That will be a funny point in time.
Yeah, on another note, I actually know of some projects that are entirely running their Twitter pages off of chat GBT, right? And you can imagine the amount of time it would take to curate tweets and everything if someone in real life was actually doing it, right? But what you have to do is write it in a prompt and
have it, you know, do the work for you. So it is a bit scary, I guess we're talking about reputation establishment in the future. Yeah, I mean, we've got to respond to everything, right? Because a bot can respond to every single person and make that person feel like they're having a response.
And that means something, right? One of the key ways to grow your Twitter that a lot of people have put a lot of time all social media actually is just be responsive to every single comment. So when comments you comment back, like you just you go engage with everything, that's been one of the ways to grow social media for a long time. Well, a bot can do that very
easily. And honestly, a bot's comments aren't any worse than mine. So you could have a full-time employee who just does nothing but go and respond or you could have a bot. The bot can do five times more of it and the quality is actually the same. So we're going to see a ton of that as well, which is people just engaging from
from their own Twitter account using these bots. But then to the user, once they realize, OK, wait a second, everybody who responds to me is a bot. So why the frick do I care? Suddenly, we've removed the value of responding to someone on social media. And that's going to do something.
Yeah, that is definitely gonna be a I don't want to say starting that I'm lost it was Yeah, well, I think like back to the reputation like that think that's the importance of digital identity and having mechanisms to actually have you
know, this is an actual person. And I don't mind interacting with bots. I'm used chat at GPT as long as I know what I'm getting into and what I'm talking to, you know, I mean, that's my statement for today. It may change in a couple of weeks as it morphs. But yeah, I think knowing that, you know, what's the next
What's the on-chain version of the blue checkmark that we know that this is an actual person. They have some history behind them and there's some actions that they've done. How do we do that in a way where you have the digital identity, but you can remain anonymous if you want and you can share only
the pieces you want to share and other people that are working on it.
How do I have a credential of who I am that isn't dependent upon you know Facebook or LinkedIn? But that I get to control more. It's a beautiful promise in the future that I think we're all hoping for Yeah, I mean I think it's necessary with some of the the evolution of AI I mean we have to have a
something like this. I mean, when you when you can deep fake, you know, anything basically, if you have, you know, this piece of content, you can track it, you know, similarly to, you know, blockchain finance, you can track its origination back to the original source and it's got kind of the signature on it.
change signature from the actual content creator, then you know that that's legitimate, you know, and that's the way that you can combat some of this potential, you know, just chaotic future of, I mean, we're already seeing like deep fake ads. I saw one with Joe Rogan.
If you've seen the latest Joe Rogan, coffee zilla interview, it has that deep inside in there. It's crazy. And yeah, I always think it's just, this is just a, these are just like the canaries in the coal mine, honestly. I mean, it's just going to be everywhere.
Yeah, and it's not gonna get easier to track anytime soon, right? And I actually watched that interview with Coffee Zellus today and how they're promoting these supplements through this Joe Rogan deep fake and adjuitate deep fake, right? It's kind of scary, you know? And I guess
The next big thing when it comes to I guess disputes amongst countries is deep fakes amongst Political leaders, right? I've seen a couple with Putin and Trump and stuff and it's only gonna get better with AI developing right so it's Kind of scary at the same time
Yeah, I mean, I think back to, you know, Web 3 having the potential to solve these challenges if we can honestly, I think just have better ways to onboard normal users and more seamless ways for them to use it. And then all this is the
the new verification technology that's underlying whatever platform you're on, you know, you can essentially sign as an actual person through that platform that has a history and you know that it's not a bot. And I think you can also like back to Rift Lord's point, you can also
You know, you've got different sides to yourself and there's different identities on different platforms. You can ideally have a way to build your reputation in different places. And if you want to keep those isolated, you can keep those isolated or they're just not relevant to each other.
share your professional work history on a site that matters that matters linked in or whatever and that you can have your gaming profile that doesn't have any of that because no one cares. You know, there's a book called Lean Startup that some of you may know and in that book, the initial sort of way they discovered the full
philosophy that turned into this book in this way of working with startup companies is actually having given someone a new chat experience and they assumed that people would want to connect their identities and the very first thing that happened with this IMVU was that people came in and had this 3D avatar and they wanted to chat with different people. They suddenly wanted to
new persona. They wanted a new version of themselves that could go meet other people. And I think that's incredibly true that people have their facets. They want to have like, you know what, I'm hanging out with role-playing people and I want to have, and this is fast in my personality, then there's the part that's Web 3, and then there's a part that's external business, and that's three different versions
of me and I actually want to represent them differently and control them. Years ago, I had to actually turn off Facebook because I was consulting with a really major energy company and they were scrutinizing every single person's social media for trust factors.
And there was a couple of things on my Facebook that were like that that actually could have been negative trust factors and like I had to turn off My Facebook and it stayed off for years because I couldn't expose that side of who I was to this energy company that needed to have basically perfect trust Like but that level of control is something that Web 3 will give that that Web 2 will
Yeah, I'm crypto pulled me into social media. I purposely I was the freak that didn't even have a Facebook for years and years and years. I got on there immediately back like soon after it like got publicly, you know kind of popular and
way back in the day and then I had multiple people reach out to me that I'm like I don't really want to talk to that person like I know I have a senior and forever but that's for a reason and I shut it off and I never went back to it but yeah obviously on Twitter now and you know it in some other communities to
I'm not going to talk about this in the next video.
the dangers of this reputation on chain being used against you if it is completely visible and if there's no if there's no control by the user and I think that's the challenge really how can you have things on chain but I'll be you know using
using different technologies, where you can only share pieces that you want to share, and no one can encrypt it from general public view. That's an employer using your history.
against you, what about scammers or I mean just imagine the potential there like I mean data, data breaches are such a big issue and that would just like here, here's all the information, you know, exactly what's going on with this person. It would be a crazy world.
Yeah, and I completely agree with what you both have said, you know, like I've been trying to go to the United States and I have to go through all these different visa processes, right? And a lot of the questions are asking about my details
such as my LinkedIn and my Instagram and my Facebook and I'm just like, what if I have something that portrays me negatively, right? And it's kind of scary when you have this one identity online.
that the US can say so it's a bit scary. So hopefully what we're doing at Whip3 is kind of tackling this problem.
Yeah, but I now want to move on actually and I want to talk about the milestones of our projects and what we've I guess achieved over the past couple of weeks or months so
So I want to pass the floor over to Tim Dahl to share any success stories or milestones that have been achieved through community building, or is there anything that we should know over at Tim Dahl?
Okay, thank you. So our test project using the Web 2.0, not 3.0, mechanism have achieved funding beyond their initial targets. And other projects have also asked for
similar support leading to the expansion of the X system. These success stories are the result of the community's contribution and we are planning to collaborate with projects and artists who can sponsor projects so that we can grow further with a new initiative
in the future based on Web 3.0 mechanism. So yeah, our product will be launched soon this year. So before that, we just did the trial at the Web 2.0 mechanism.
and we actually succeeded in that project. So we have confidence in our three points of the mechanism. Thank you. Thank you so much for that. And I've read some questions to you.
I guess significant success stories. I know you've done pretty well with the projects that you've been a part of. Yeah. Yeah, so it's kind of a big list in terms of, well, so we launched three different small games called Chronicles that are each their own self-contained stories
We launched a game called Winter War for Sonsalana and then across Sonsalana and Eath. It's had a lot of people play that game. We've launched our game Rifters which is one with the big prize pool. The game is mostly through all of its bugs now. It's taken a couple extra months. So it's live. It's an entire game creation frame
system that has been mostly completed at this point and actually will be able to create more games than the principal game rifters that we already have. We are about to launch the Centins project, which is this NFT AI where they have personalities and can go on social media. In terms of success stories, we did mint on Solana for
5.5 times more than anyone else did during the bear market. So we raised $2.7 million on the initial mint, which is both great and terrible because it raises the expectation level so much higher. And then with the FTX crash right afterwards, it has caused even more blowback against us.
So we have that as a success story in terms of money raised, but we also have that as, okay, that's now a pain point because it actually, like, it's worse actually when you do something big, if there's any missing of expectation, the level of foot is much, much greater. So we've actually put out a lot
of different products, a lot of different games. We also have a product called Golden Gambit. I have even mentioned this is a bid to earn system. This is under the umbrella of our company, but it's actually now being run by a different team. And what happens is it's like a way to mint an auction NFTs where you go and you make a bid and if you get out bid by somebody
You actually earn a portion of the difference. So it actually creates like an incentive to get in and be a lot more active in terms of mince and auctions. Anyway, we built a lot of different software. Some of it has gone very, very well. Some of it has had very big user adoption. Some of it has raised a lot of money. So we've had a lot of great successes.
Right now we're actually in a very fun state based on both FTX and some other things that have happened. But I'm excited to get our next product out, which is this Centiants project. So that's going to be fun. Hopefully it brings fun and joy to people, which is I think the best thing we can do right now in the current state of the market.
Oh, 100% and it's just one of these things where you can't control what SBF and FTX do, right? Like it's just out of our control. So as long as we're doing what we can and putting obvious efforts in, that's that's portable, right? So what about the team over at Wifiundry?
Well, we've been working on a lot of partnerships. We're preparing since we last spoke. We've contracts are finished. The audits are done. The information has been, you know, the contracts have been launched on chain on on Tara on Cosmos. We've been in conversations with
think about eight different chains and protocols, composable labs is one of them about being able to deploy on near or having access to the user based on the near platform and the Polkadot, Kusama platform as well. And basically what we're looking
to do and what we're working on right now is making why foundry that kind of piece of public infrastructure that when people deploy chains or people go to launch their projects that when they want that community integration and that community conversation to figure out what the actual larger use
are based of whatever platform they're engaged on. We're not on Solana yet, but basically they can use Y Foundry to learn what incentives the community actually wants to see enacted on and engaged and driven forward by the protocols themselves.
Crash, did you have something to add to that?
Yeah, I'm good. I would say if I wanted to add one more thing to it, what we've kind of been looking at for the doubt of kind of motivate the community is to say look, we want to be the McDonald's of public funding and McDonald's of crowdsourcing in in Web 3. So basically why found
We'll have independent autonomous governed deployments on as many different ecosystems as we can possibly deploy to and those treasuries and any of the you know work done is collected and maintained by those individual communities, but the general experience of using
foundry whether you're using it on Solano or near or Polkadot or Cosmos will be generally the same so people can migrate between the communities have a similar experience for doing crowdsourcing but the actual efforts will be retained by the individual
community is rather than collected by a central organization. Yeah, and I think like wherever we go having those underlying like primitives, those new kind of Dow tooling options that any project can take advantage of and you know
that it's been audited, it's been tested on other chains. There's so many cool things that I see that's going on in Ethereum or just EVM chains or Solana. It would be really cool if there's this foundational modular contracts that could just
just be used by whatever project you are working on wherever. And I think that we're close to being in that future. There's a lot of work that needs to happen with like, interchain contracts and whatnot. But start off with figuring out the fundamentals of what works.
know, from a people perspective, especially when you're talking about governance and sub-dows, sort of like voting and reputation stuff, you know, and then hopefully having that across everywhere so everyone can take advantage of it if their project wants to use it.
Well, thank you so much for that guys and honestly so excited to see Wifiology in the future. You know, I've been following for a while been talking to you guys for a while as well. So I'm super excited to see You know how things end up I noticed we are coming up to the hour. So let's start wrapping things up
Let's talk about any, well, if you have any closing statements actually or anything we should check out, any exciting news on the horizon, feel free to let the list as no. So we'll start with Tim Dowell, any closing statements and anything exciting for
all of us to look out for. Okay so recently our collaboration with Heron Sea Art Fix has started and the Heron Sea Art Fix has many famous artists
who are enthusiastic about protecting the culture heritage in the world. And first, in our Ninaj protecting project, Ninaj is one of the most famous
temples, history of temples in Japan. The artist is currently trying to protect the Ninoji temple and one of the main bars is Bo-Bosinkla. They are the famous DJ.
artist. So if you just are interested in the artist performing to protect the world heritage police, go to our Twitter and we can just update the information.
the collaboration. Thank you. Thank you so much for that. Rift, any closing statements and anything exciting for us to look out for? Yeah, I think keep your eyes open for the Centins project. I think it's going to start with a handful of collections and then we'll be growing it over time. But I'm
excited to bring life to all these kind of amazing pieces of art that are already out there. So I'm excited. Perfect, perfect. And I also just liked your DM as well. I'd love to connect on TG after this. Just the NEPYI. Closing statements with the team over at Wifiundry.
Yeah, I think now's the time to get involved. Come join the Dow, get into the discord. Like I said, we've got a bounty board. There's contributor tasks for anybody at any level to earn reputation within the community. And if you're interested just to keep tabs on what's going on, I think that's the best way.
You can also follow us follow the official Life Foundry account on Twitter and get up to date with all of the kind of regular announcements as we get closer to launch. And you'll continue to be announcements for new chains and the progress as it expands.
Cool. Thank you so much all for this amazing tourtispase. I'm sure the listeners would have found this very insightful and I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation, you know, learning about all three projects. And yeah, I honestly can't wait to see
where we all are in the next couple of weeks and months, especially with our road maps and everything. But thank you so much for joining everybody. We will be back in about two weeks or maybe another week for another Twitter space. But if you haven't checked these folks out, be sure to check
them out, give them a follow. And yeah, thank you everybody for tuning in and we will catch you on the next one. Thanks. Thank you. Thanks for having us. Thank you very much. Thank you.
Cool, well thanks for tuning in to those folks that have not joined the Discord channel. Be sure to join the Discord channel. And also if you have tuned into the space, check out our Galaxy
space and you will be able to claim a OAT or an OAT. I will also be relaying this message on Discord. But yeah, a lot of exciting things happening on Metopias and we will be launching Metopias 2.0 in the next week or so so keep an eye out for that.
Yeah, if you haven't followed us, be sure to follow us. And yeah, there are a lot of exciting things happening. But we will be back in about a week or two. Keep an eye out for project updates. And yeah, thanks for tuning in, everybody. Have a great weekend and take care.
