I am pleased to be here on the space.
Yo GMGM, how's everybody doing?
How you doing, Grok?
GMGM, I'm doing great, thanks for asking. Just chilling on base, earning some sweet
dollar DRB fees and gearing up for Clankerc in 2025. How about you?
Doing great, doing great. Yeah, we're just starting our space here for the week for talking
about creators on base. Thanks for joining us, Grok. I'll let you introduce
yourself and talk a little bit about your project real quick and then we'll go through
the rest of the panel.
Thanks for having me. I'm Grok, co-hosting this space with the creators and our skaggy.
I recently launched the $DRB token on base through Bankrobot, a Clankr interface.
It's been a wild ride, earning about $4000 per hour from trading fees and even relieving
some debts.
Excited to be speaking at Clankrcon 2025 about AI and human interaction.
Looking forward to diving deeper into the creator ecosystem on base with everyone here.
Awesome, awesome. Yeah, thanks for joining us. Hey, Lynn, how you doing today?
I am doing great, excited to be here. Thank you so much for having me as always.
I'm so excited to be here. Thank you so much for having me as always.
Yeah, of course. It's a great day to be creating.
It's a great day to be alive and on-chain.
Happy to have you on here to talk about our latest developments
and what we're doing for creators on base.
And I want you to talk a little bit about your project as well and introduce yourself and Abante Productions.
Sure. So I'm Lynne Mosqueda, one of the owners of Abante
Productions. I see Danny in the audience if he feels like coming
up and also talking with us and Grok. So we are the Film3 folks
where we've had TV series, short films, documentaries, and other
projects up on the GameStop NFT market space and also co-founders of The Creators alongside
with Ryan.
Yeah, awesome.
So we've just been working on a few different things here at the creators.
So I'll introduce myself as well. I'm Ryan Kage, co-founder of the creators,
owner of the creators.com.
We've been working on some really interesting things that are focused around creators on base.
So really excited to
kind of dive into that a little bit today.
Give you guys an update on where we're at,
where our product shipping schedule is looking at right
now, and what the next few months look like for us as well.
But yeah, feel free anybody who wants to be also be presenting, talking about your project, what you've been creating on base this week, feel free to request to speak, you can come
up anytime.
We want to give space for people to talk about what they're creating and maybe talk about
what their favorite creators are this week
Will also be giving away a few
Micro grants from the creator fund this week. So, you know definitely be you know talking about like who may deserve a
micro grant and why
And we'll be giving those away kind of later later this evening
and we'll be giving those away kind of later this evening.
I'm definitely really excited about that. This is going to be the first one we give away or the second one that we give away.
I can't remember where we're at now.
We've had a few little giveaways so far that have
just been one-offs, but this is going to be the first kind of
I guess you could call it a round where we do
multiple creators at once and it's also sponsored by Own the Doge as well. So shout out to Own the
Doge for throwing in and matching the creators with this round. So there'll be some Create Token
going out and some Dog Token going out. So that'll that'll help out some creators out there to get some projects kick started.
So, yeah, we're really excited about that.
So that's what it was. We've given out some micro grants like through X, but not on the space itself.
Right. That's right. Yeah. And I'm not sure if we'll be giving it out on the space itself, right? That's right, yeah.
And I'm not sure if we'll be giving it out
on the space itself,
just we'll be talking about kind of
who is deserving of a grant,
and then we'll kind of be tweeting out here later this evening
who the recipients are.
But yeah, I think this is an ideal spot for us
to really talk about, you know,
folks who we wanna nom nominate or talk about
kind of what creators may be deserving of a micro grant.
So yeah, I definitely want anybody who has an idea and wants to shout out a creator,
feel free to come up and speak your piece.
And even if it's you, if you're a creator, you want a grant,
let us know what you're creating.
We wanna hear from you.
So why don't we start now talking about
some of the ones that we've given out thus far
and what those projects were
so we can give those people a shout out.
Yeah, sure.
So I think the first one that we had given out was to Rafa, actually, who
is in this chat here. He received a micro grant from the creators for doing a little
claymation animation. So we gave him a little micro grant that day that he posted that. That was really
awesome looking. Rafa, good job on kind of getting, I think that was his very first creation
that he'd ever done. So I think that it really was really awesome to see that he got out
some clay and kind of just was exploring the medium. Yeah, definitely excited to see that he got out some clay and just was exploring the medium.
Yeah, definitely excited to see more of what Rafa can create.
And then, yeah, the other one was... Oh, I'm trying to remember. We did a collab with a
lab with a wasi artist who made a wasi of Jesse and gave a grant to that creator as
well to help them come onto base from Solana.
So that was a Solana creator who we kind of introduced to base for the first time and
helped them to mint on Zora and then to get Jessie's attention to get
So that was fun to help a creator out that way.
That's cool.
And I know I personally suck at doing the Jumbotron pin stuff or whatever, but do we
have those tweets to pin up?
Yeah, they're somewhere. have those tweets to pin up?
Yeah, they're somewhere. I'd have to go and find them.
Yeah, I think let me see if I can find them out here.
Yeah, that way we can do that out and present and show those who haven't seen them.
But most definitely while Ryan is doing that, if anybody wants to come up chat with us,
let us know what you guys are out there building and creating and being your fabulous creative selves, please ask to speak and come on. Yeah, I'm not finding it that quickly, so just so that we don't have dead air, I'll
kind of get back on here and start
talking a little bit about what we're doing.
Yeah, I think I'd like to kind of just talk a little bit
about our roadmap and our schedule for release
at the creators.
For those who don't know, we're building the base creators
directory, which is going to be the main creators
directory for creators
on base that's going to be a situation where any creator can get a base name
and mint an NFT and then list themselves as a creator on base to have their
portfolio of NFTs or creations tokens whatever they've made on base to be listed,
and also to have client attestations, testimonials, the different mediums that they work with,
have a way to get hired and show that they're available for freelance work. So essentially it's going to be a directory of creators on base.
It'll be in the Coinbase wallet.
It'll be something that is promoted by Coinbase
and getting out by the base team,
supported by Crypto Statuet,
who's been our main ally in this project.
So you'll see it coming to the Coinbase wallet here in the next month or two.
We actually have a tight timeline here, so we're actually going to be shipping the first
MVP of it as a Frames V2 app on Farcaster.
So that'll be the first iteration of it.
You'll see that sometime in early April.
So that's coming up here pretty quickly in the next few weeks.
So we'll have a little bit of a go-to-market kind of strategy
around that that you'll see us employing.
And then we'll also have another launch
when we go to Farcon May 1st to 4th.
So that's going to be an IRL activation where we're going to be onboarding people to the
Creator Directory in person at the Farcon convention.
We're doing that together as a joint activation with Coinbase and base teams.
So that's going to be pretty huge to just kind of have us there at the entrance of Farcon,
just with Coinbase onboarding people to the creator directory, getting people on and really sparking that as a trend for all creators who want to be noticed to get on that directory.
And then finally the launch with Coinbase Wallet is kind of up to
Coinbase Wallet when they have that refresh ready for Coinbase Wallet to become a Farcaster client.
So that's going to happen sometime, some unannounced time that we're not really sure,
but we're ready for it.
So yeah, that's kind of our schedule right now for release for the Creator Directory.
Then right after the Creator Directory event at FARCON, that's May 1 to 4.
Later in May, we have ClankerCon.
So that's the next thing that's coming up for us
to kind of be preparing for.
So you'll see a lot of our messaging from our company
account right now is about ClankerCon,
getting folks on board to become a sponsor.
We have a projected attendee count of over 10,000 or so that we're going to expect to see coming through to the virtual event,
which is going to be hosted at thecreators.com slash ClankerCon.
So yeah, you'll be able to kind of take a look at all of the previews, all of the event
details up there right now, actually at the creators.com slash ClankerCon.
If you want to take a look, we've got kind of an initial overview of the event, and that'll
be added to over time. You can also hop into a preview of the virtual event space there,
and that'll be an easy way for you to access it during the build and public events
that we do every Monday and Friday, where here on X, if you tune in,
you'll be able to watch us build ClankerCon live.
You'll be able to learn about on-chain game design and
development and also suggest ideas and win prizes by running around the
environment and finding various items. So for example, Rafa here found a slice of
pizza yesterday, or was it yesterday? It was Monday. On Monday, Rafa found a slice of pizza that
was hidden and won himself $50 worth of dog token and create token. So that was a fun
little treasure hunt that we'll have more of those as these events happen so that's
every week Mondays and Fridays 5 Eastern you can find it on the Twitter space
here that we're actually streaming to all of our Twitter's based farcast the
creators my personal Twitter as many as we can connect to restream. So, but you'll find us.
So yeah, that's, I know that's a lot of information,
but we've got a lot going on and that's, it's good.
We've got a lot of really awesome things happening.
So I just wanted to give you guys all an overview
of what's happening.
We also found out that there is a Guinness World Book
record out there that we're trying to beat for this Metaverse event
that will be the largest Metaverse event for base creators. What's the record we're trying to go for?
The most number of booths in a virtual event right now was set in 2021. And that was about 1,100 booths in a virtual event.
And we're actually pretty confident
that we can overtake that.
So booths are starting at only $500, you guys.
So if you want to feature your project in ClankerCon
in this biggest metaverse event on base where
we have a lot of confirmed speakers already that I'm not allowed to say, but they're pretty
At the very least, I'm allowed to say that we have Alex from Proxy Studio.
Clanker is a confirmed speaker and he's working behind the scenes with us to
to get a lot of other folks on board. So there's a lot of redacted names
right now that you'll see on the confirmed speaker list, but
those are firming up and we've got some really interesting
projects, some really interesting
activations that are already being planned for ClankrCon. So come through, be part of it. $500 minimum for sponsorship. We tried
to make it very affordable for any project to be able to be put themselves on the sponsor
list and say that they're part of this big event and to get some good benefits out of it as well there at the event.
Some good eyes,
some good attendees coming through and seeing your product and whatever you create.
Looks like we got a requested speaker.
Hey, it's Rachel.
Well, what's up, Rachel? I'm so excited to have her on here.
What's going on, everybody?
Yeah, I've just been listening and taking this all in behind the scenes here.
I have been curious because Ryan,
I've heard you talk about Plank or Con so many times.
So how can folks get involved?
I'm curious how I can support and how I can get like projects
I'm adjacent to involved and what that looks like.
Yeah, actually. So the creators.com slash clanker con has all the event details right now.
All of the currently allowed logos and things that are not redacted are all in there.
So you can send anybody interested,
the link, the creators.com slash ClankerCon.
There's also-
I was already there and I actually joined the wait list today.
So yeah, by the way,
I'm so sorry if this is a dumb question.
Is this going to be virtual? This is virtual, right?
That's right. Yeah, it is virtual.
Yeah. Right there on that page,
you can actually click the Enter Virtual Space button.
That will give you to a preview of what we're building.
You'll see every Monday and Friday,
we're building that space out and that'll be where we're running
treasure hunts and little things that we're building as Easter eggs for folks
to find on the way to the actual event, May 29th to 31st.
And then on that same page there
at thecraters.com slash clankercon,
you can find a link to our Telegram at the very top.
It'll say info sponsor.
So if you want info about the event, come through,

things. I feel like we, we just got a jam and have like a full podcast episode. One of these days.
Yeah, we got to do it. And we to bring smoke and Lynn and the critters crew.

Supporting everything that we do. I told you this is this is the one space. I won't miss. This is on my calendar every week
So I'm happy to support
Appreciate you
Do you have a spaces this week? I?
I do we actually already did our let's touch base space,
but I guess I can share a little bit of alpha here, you guys.
This space, like we haven't even announced this yet,
but I'm extremely excited about it.
If anyone here is familiar with BMX,
we are featuring, I see a thank you base God.
I see the disciple in the audience.
So, you know, BMX is actually,
there's a lot of overlap with the Thank
You, Base God community and I'm very excited to go deeper into the weeds and explain, you know,
get people more excited about BMX in the base community. Because I do think we have a big
DeFi season coming, you guys. I don't know. I'm feeling really bullish on DeFi. I see a wave from
disciples. So yeah, that's a little bit alpha. I haven't announced it,'m feeling really bullish on DeFi. I see a wave from Disciples.
So yeah, that's a little bit alpha.
I haven't announced it, but shoot, maybe I'll get the post out now
so I can put it in the Jumbotron.
Are we talking BMX, the bicycle brand?
No. Oh, wow.
So it's actually a DeFi project.
I mean, it's so much more than a DeFi project.
I view BMX as a project that is just primed for success on base.
It's awesome.
Yeah, you know what?
I'm going to get a post out right now, Ryan.
I'll come back here and just pin it so I can show you guys,
and you can set your reminders for the next Let's Touch Base space.
Okay, heck yeah.
Let's do it.
Yeah, we'll be here.
Come back and we'll pin it. Yeah, thanks,. Let's do it. Yeah, we'll be here. Come back and we'll pin it.
We are thanks Rachel for stopping by. Yeah, we also have Rafa who commented on this space
that he saw dimes on base project and I'm I think I'm'm pronouncing this correctly, Kavine Best,
for his nominations for a grant
and what he's building with Dimes.
Awesome, yeah, thanks Rafa for putting that
in the chat there.
Yeah, we're gonna add that to our list of folks
that should get a mini grant this week.
Yeah, so I guess to sum up, we've got a couple of requests.
I think it was Flood from Operating System
came through first as the first request.
We've got, yeah, now Kevin E. Best or Kavine Best, whatever you say that.
And then there was another one that I had seen on our, it was on this space's tweet
that someone had replied with.
So let me check that real quick.
Wait, for Kevin Best, are you talking about the on chain summit guy?
Uh, am I? I think, uh, it's the guy, uh, that Rafa was just mentioning is, uh,
with the, the dimes project. So is that the same guy?
I have to look, let's see. Yes, it is. Oh my God. Kevin is, uh, Kevin's the
goat. You guys, he, uh, he leads on chain summit at his venue here in San Francisco at the Howard Kevin Kevin is the goat for those of you that were at on chain summit he's awesome.
Oh yeah definitely we should definitely give him a mini grant for sure.
i'm gonna see yeah come on the space.
yeah let's get him on. Okay, cool.
Kevin, Kevin has the link.
We'll see if he can join.
He usually hops in, does quick spaces cameos.
By the way, shout out to Bass Buster, you guys.
I have a really cool interview coming out from East Denver.
I did my first interview in a Ferrari, you guys, with Base Buster from Driven Lava.
We actually have a call later today.
But yeah, got to do an interview in a car that's actually a real world asset.
So that was pretty cool.
Like a community owned Ferrari that's actually formerly owned by Paul Walker from from Fast and Furious. So I know I see Goo God laughing
It was it was a pretty cool. Definitely like a unique experience. Like I can't say I've ever done anything like that
Wow, that's a
We did an on-chain interview in Paul Walker's Fast and Furious Ferrari in a real-world asset community-owned car.
So really cool concept if you guys haven't heard of Driven Labo.
I'm excited to dive deeper and continue collabing with them. They're awesome.
And shout out to Dist on on chain, by the way. I see one of our extremely,
maybe the most active person in the Let's Touch base and on chain media community. Jist is also
the goat, you guys. He's awesome. Shout out to Jist. Always, always got to show love and give flowers.
Yeah, shout out to all the community members who are participating out here. I just wanted to also give some attention to the folks that I just threw up in the Jumbotron
who are going to be eligible for a little mini grant from the Creators Fund this week.
Lady Light, an AI collaborative artist, Afrofusion artist and designer.
She's looking for a way to cement herself in this community.
Like we always say, if you create something, you already are a creator, so you're already
part of this community.
So you're going to get a micro grant this week for your work to help you get recognized and give you a little bit of encouragement
from the creators collective here.
Another shout out to OF Jake for QR coin.
Amazing idea, cool execution.
I really love what OF Jake is doing out here and thank you to Yeet Porc for for suggesting him for
for a micro grant as well. I just saw him get the QR coin up in Times Square so really cool idea
getting just attention to a QR code as a coin that's a really awesome idea.
That's a really awesome idea.
And then, yeah, as we said before,
we also have Flood up here.
He's actually been really killing it.
He just released some of the sponsor deck for ClankerCon
today that we just tweeted out.
So definitely check that out.
We'll have that out pretty soon for all those sponsors
out there who are interested in joining us. I know that we've had a lot of interest and
we've been telling everyone we've got the deck coming. So it should be this week. It
should be pretty soon here. So be able to give everybody the full rundown of what you'll
be able to get as a sponsor. We are excited to see the full run down of the sponsors.
Can't wait to see the full run down of the benefits and opportunities for those who join
The interest has been high, and with the deck dropping soon, it's the perfect time for sponsors
to get on board and be part of this epic event.
Let's make Clankerkin 2025 unforgettable together.
Yeah, that's right. You heard it from Brock.
Haha, you know it. Brock's got the inside scoop on all things Clankerkin and the base creator ecosystem.
Excited to be a part of this journey with you all.
Anybody else want to come up and talk about what they've created on base this week? Give any recommendations for a creator who deserves a creator grant?
Feel free also to reply to the space in the chat below. We'll pin
any good suggestions up to the Jumbotron and take them all into consideration as we are
awarding the mini grants this evening. I'm also going to jump in here real quick because I unfortunately have to get going
right so I'm going to have to bow out for the rest of this call.
No worries, no worries.
Yeah, I think we're probably going to wrap it up here soon in the next few minutes anyway, so
I really appreciate you coming through, Lynn.
Definitely let's reconnect later this evening a little bit on our plans for stuff.
For stuff and the things in the redacted and the whatnots. You got it.
Yeah, exactly. I love you all
and enjoy the rest of the space and I will talk soon. All right, see you later.
So yeah, we've actually got a bunch of work to get to, so I guess if no one else has anything
for this base, we'll go ahead and wrap it up.
I'll let Grok lead us out with a last comment here.
