Hello everyone, my child, my child. Hi, I'm Lisa. Can you hear me, Jim? Hello, Jim, Jim. Am I coming through clear? Yes. You're very clear.
amazing thank you yeah hi everyone welcome welcome welcome to another sweetest species I'm actually really excited about this one because um personally it's a
It's a conversation that I have been hoping that we would have more and more within the Africa space. So yeah, welcome. We would just give it a couple more minutes for other folks to join in.
um see about two to five minutes and then we can kick off what do you think on it? Sounds amazing
Also, so welcome again.
Accept it, I'll have you guys here and accept it for this conversation.
Yes, in the meantime, let's say hi to everyone. Hi, Wise, Metaverse, Graham, Think Decade, BTC, DAL, Lance, Brighto, Kutubu, and Webster. Thank you for joining us.
Alright, um, and by questions to this or quite, uh, ooh, thing they did was oh usually the person who provides us with vibes. Um,
Maybe we should have sang. We should have sang something in the meantime. Thank you. You can expect that dry jokes.
I'm so sorry guys, I'm still trying to make a couple of announcements to get more folks in here. But yeah, I see the numbers are increasing. So yeah, yeah.
Well, welcome, Ditty. Welcome to Trinon. We have the rest of the Academy Squad with us today. So great. Awesome.
Yeah, welcome. Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Okay, I think I actually really don't most talk to an audience that I would like to do and we can actually kick off
We have spent 5 minutes waiting. I think other folks would join us. So hi guys, welcome again to the bank that's Africa.
and backless academy spaces today basically we have officially I mean we have done it for you for for a couple of long time now but we have officially integrated the backless academy lessons on
the Bantlers Africa website, which means Africa and Skahn now actually learn and you know even get onboarded into with her because like there's so many lessons I took myself a couple of weeks ago and I think I even like took more
the updates as they go updated. So basically, Africans can now get the space to not just get onboarded themselves but also have the right resource to share all likes or recommend to their friends, families and you know
everyone else will be supposed to be curious about Web 3 and they're asking questions around where can I learn, where do I go to. So the bankers are going to tell you
look, what is it going to do some mini-intros providing a run-down of how our discussion is going to go today? We're just going to have mini-intros and then you know have a retrospective of you know the state of crypto education within Africa specifically on
some of the struggles that we that many individuals and that even we ourselves as African-Sansi species will possibly had to like fight the Daniels to like get in here some of the struggles that we have experienced and how in a very great way how panther I kept
me can solve for those problems. We have in here with us, Onela from Branket at Kami who is their coordinator. I think I think, do you want to come up? I think I'll send you an advice. I don't know.
And also just a friendly reminder that this is of course going to also be an open space as much as we want to talk about the integration. We also want to hear from many individuals, especially Africans,
and even maybe give back as I get some insights into what's like your issues where personally if you have taking the courses just maybe at the end provide feedbacks and ask your questions so we encourage as
much participation as possible. I think that you're welcome. I check my check my check GM. GMGM. How did you come up with that? You always have
Why did the crypto professor refuse to teach a class about Dugecoin? Oh, why is that? Because he thought it was too rough for his students.
You know, I'm happy to be here and I'm happy to be part of this conversation.
Okay, take today I give you that joke. It was really funny. I give that to you. So yeah. Okay. I guess we can officially kick off. First, we'll get started with panther's Africa. Still, hi everyone.
Once again, welcome, welcome, welcome. Basically, Bangladesh Africa is a media note within Bangladesh, which at the moment has actually really spun up into its own community and is growing at being very surprising. I'm sure as always,
will always remain on what what every day Africans entered the world of defy with the right to the right. So basically help Africans understand how they can also go to the point. I think that if there's any group of people who actually
need, or actually need cryptocurrencies, is actually Africans because there's so much that is wrong with our economy. And cryptocurrencies sort of like solves most of those problems. If more people actually understand the technology and even like bio technology, do you
philosophy behind cryptocurrencies, those, you know, whether it could be really leveraging for a lot of folks within Africa. So most of our efforts have been shared towards educating and embodying via podcast and transitions. We have PZPALO in here.
They are the amazing team who translates most of the most of the most critical conversations or like learning into pigeon English which is a broken form of English but like millions speak within Africa but
We also have a write-task publication on Dwee. We also have a research port. Kotsobo in here is the coordinator of the research port and they've been doing so much work in terms of researching and also
right-wing reports. Right now they have research and I think it's in about two reports, CBDCs within Africa and another one that I think they look at wetshury and how Dow contributors within this space. Thank you, Vizjo Han, to you on first-pick.
I dropped it immediately but it seems you have an echo I. So let me just touch. Let me just back you up with the like Bangladesh Africa. So I think quick thing that I want to add is that after like one year of
you know, launching for me, Bangladesh Africa has become an impact dial that has really, really started educating and onboarding Africans or driving the adoption of decentralized
many systems and the blockchain technology with a key vision of becoming like driving force for capacity building economic empowerment and financial sovereignty in Africa. And I believe this is this is really really important and like I bet the me used head
that there are so many societies and systemic challenges that is facing the continent and we believe that the cryptocurrency is a key solution to so many of these challenges. But before we can understand the innovative parts and how
cryptos of some of these challenges we face have to educate ourselves, we face have to inform ourselves and write a different tier of pioneering this mass education, mass information is Bangladesh Africa. That's something that I just wanted to add.
Yeah, also thank you for that back-up thing. So I will pop on the mic over to Banca's Academy to do their own intro.
Thank you so much, Abidemi. And thank you, thank the gay for providing this space also to celebrate the launch of Bank of the Academy within the Bank of Africa ecosystem. Well, for the folks who are new to this,
My name is Arnella Web 3. I am building with the Academy team, especially in the part of community and marketing. And I'm super excited to be able to hear with you guys launch officially our alignment in terms of how do we bring
more Web 3 education to Africa in a way that is easy for friends to understand, that is digestible, that is in a way that we can provide the tools for everyone so that they can take their first steps into becoming a bankless self-sauvering
person and our mission as well as you know like educating through different media. Here at Banclix Academy we are we're working hard to be able to bring this in the future also maybe in different languages but now we're setting the foundations with
the great communities as you guys because the work that you've done is top notch. You really are making a difference in the space within the African territory and beyond. And we as Academy would like to provide in the best way possible tools so that this can grow further and faster.
Yeah, thank you so much for the intro or nela. That was actually really packed. So the curious thing that like when I found out about the Instagram showing, I was thinking
in terms of how what Bankless Africa is doing and what Bankless Academy is doing sort of like, aligns. And of course, the obvious thing there is that we are both committed to education, we are both
committed to onboarding. And backless I can tell me is like the best though that we can possibly have right now to spread crypto education within Africa. I don't know what you think, Onela.
100% we are here to support you with as I mentioned with tools so that we can both continue pursuing our missions and bringing education to what the education to the masses. I would like to take a minute if possible to make a summary of how
works how folks here can go to Bankless Africa website and understand what does this integration mean in a tangible way. If you go now to BanklessAfrica.com, you'll be able to find a section that it says Learn Crypto and within
that section you'll be able to have access directly without leaving the website to bank this academy. So once you're there you can sign in with Ethereum with your wallet and you will have access to our lessons and each lesson we have about seven lessons at the
the moment in different topics such as wallet basics, Web 3 security which is very important and we highly recommend taking these classes and courses as soon as you come into the Web 3 world, it doesn't matter if you've been here for a while or if you're new, it's important
to go through the lessons so that you can have the tools ready to ride the Web 3 waves as we say. So once you are on the website you'll be able to take the lessons and at the end of each lesson you'll find yourself with a quest
and this quest is obviously a way to understand if you have understood and understood the initial content and if you pass the test successfully you'll be able to mint an on-chain credential
which is a soulbound token that recognizes your knowledge on chain. So I would like to ask here quickly in the audience, can I have a thumbs up or a harder any emojis to understand who has already taken Bankless Academy lessons?
Alright, thank you for your homework.
lessons or even better, of course, within the Bangladesh Africa website go directly to Learn Crypto with the Bangladesh Academy and take a look at the app, read, level up and learn with each lesson.
Yeah, thanks, thanks Onila. So yeah, as you have said, it's actually quite obvious that there's so much work to do because one of the things that I have found that keeps happening within Africa and even within the red spaces that there's so much alpha, but there's not enough.
knowledge of that offer. And Patelys Academy is one of those offers that not a lot of people are aware of in terms of how in terms of the UX, how easy it is to actually go through the lessons and also of course the resources and
they pay us which you are learning and practically understanding how wallets work and how you know, constantly stay secure and also of course how to go buy clothes. I would actually also like for us to just do a quick
A quick overview of, you know,
What education or like crypto education within Africa looks like at the moment because I wouldn't like to speak about everyone. It's to be honest. But for me personally the way I see it is that we are Africa is still really so much at the beginning because if you ask so many people who are in here, especially those who are African
And you ask them how they go to a theory or you know how they learn about crypto or anyone of those things. Some people you know it was true trading and you never learn how to trade for free. I think you always pay somebody to teach you how to trade.
Of course, the weather and crypto space is a lot more than trading cryptocurrencies. For some other folks, it's true NFTs, but like not even the normal applications of NFTs, but the DGN kind of NFTs. And the other folks, I think most people just winged it themselves. Most people maybe just
Because I personally when I got into this space I had to like cross-stitchy Okay, I don't know what script or whether it will be in the next 10 years So let me start learning now so that So that when it includes the next days I would say I was not I was in like I wear or something and it was like really funny because like
just after one month of me learning and sharing what I was learning in public. I was getting so many people reach out to me to call me, possibly rights for them. And I think that was also when I went about down. We didn't just one month and I got into Gikwandao.
as a quadrometer. So I think that right now these steps are sort of broken. Many of the times when my friends ask me questions or ask me how for instance they can even get involved in doubts. I have no idea how to, of course, I have to have conversations with them.
I have, they're not like a lot of resources or like a lot of practical learning steps or guides sort of like how my class academy has that can actually teach people in practical terms how they can get started on some of these things. I think you raised your hand. Still over to you.
Yeah, so I think on the issue of the state of cryptocurrency in Africa, I think it's a very interesting thing to look at. And I guess one of the
One of the some of the challenges right for every African who are trying to get into a trade in terms of education is I'm gonna list a few right the first one is the Kineka infrastructure lack of the Kineka infrastructure the second one is limited
So, let me tell you resources in the sense that it's not like a bit of a million indicated, it's not easy to be able to identify one platform that you can go to start your journey and then it will build you from there.
And so as a result of that, what has happened is that the way people get imported into a trade right now mostly is in a like a friendly way right where their friends just recommend stuff and share stuff with them and then they are
left you know used to go set for resources and this has been like a lot of head over most most Africans were trying to you know enter the web 3 space so limited resources then of course you have the language barrier you have you also have lack of trained educators
And this is really important. I can maybe hammer on that briefly, but I just want to list some of the key challenges. And then we would look at how Bangladesh Academy and collaboration with Bangladesh Africa is really solving that. So I have, I mentioned lack of technical infrastructure, lack of
limited resources, there's the language barrier, there's lack of trained educators, and then the last one which is very interesting is limited cori-colon. So currently in Africa these are some of the educational challenges that
Most of us are facing. And I'm happy with Bangladesh Academy because for now, and I'm going to link this a little bit to that grand vision of Bangladesh Africa with regards to our website.
When we started the website, we had one thing in mind and that one one group was that we want to create a place that any African count group to embarrassed us sure that they have everything every resources on that website to start then from zero to maybe 99 right in the hour
region and as a community we we've had a lot of challenge building the infrastructure ourselves right so it was it was it was quiet it was quiet we were quite happy when we realized that Bangladesh Academy has the
the platform and they are willing to have us integrate their infrastructure. So now what that has done is that it has solved the infrastructure problem as far as we are concerned, especially for beginners. And what I say is I really may use this briefly on some of the courses
on the bankless academic website. Now, it used to be that it was very difficult for me to like recommend people. When someone asked me, "Hey, where can I go to start my crypto then or learn about crypto?" I would have to mention a couple of places or websites, right? But now I can easily
mentioned good, bankless, Africa, good and then good, the land crypto page. And why am I confident in recommending this? I'm confident because the courses on the bankless academy website are so beginner friendly that you can you can be rest assured to recommend someone who has
to go there and start the agenda. And so if you look at if you take a mental framework of how people start the agenda in Web 3, typically they will start with a Web 3 wallet. But even before they do that, there's always a recommendation for them to start
to know something about the blockchain and then boom, Bangladesh Academy has a course on blockchain basics right and so and this is like a this is a practical thing that I have done with my friend who have who have actually outlined the courses for him right to go
So he started with the blockchain business and this applies in general. One of the persons started with blockchain business. What is the next natural step? The next natural step is for the person to get the crypto wallet. There is a wallet course on the bank of South Africa.
Yeah, I'm going to say that website right so now the person means about the web 3 wallet and then after that what is the next in the next one as far as I am concerned in this month afternoon way is that it's security right the moment you have a crypto wallet the next thing is security and then guess what bankers I can
has Web 3 security course right there right so when you look at the courses on the Bangladesh Academy website and you you you draft the the mental framework or the natural roadmap or progression of anyone and back in on the agenda in Web 3 there courses are so like naturally
for them to get good through and then become like, conversant with various web 3 models and stuff. So that is like the infrastructure problem that for me, Bangladesh Academy has solved and I'm very happy that Bangladesh Africa is bringing this infrastructure
structure to everyday Africans. The next thing is the Coral Columns side and I touched briefly on that in the sense that the Coral Columns are made in such a way that it's so beginner-friendly. It's so beginner-friendly that you don't have to do anything excess, especially when you are recommending people. You don't have to do anything excess.
I realized that O'Neilat raised their hands. So maybe she has something that she wants to inset in some of the places that I'm saying. So, FIB, Hoover, to O'Neilat. Sure. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you, Kate. Yes, I would like just to make a small emphasis on the part of Web 3 security. I just want
to share a short story on why actually got inspired and decided to be part of the Bankless Academy Squad. It all started basically because I had been collaborating in Bankless style for a while and I earned my crypto happily through collaborations and given value to
the doubt, but unfortunately I hadn't done my homework. I did not take any web 3 security course. I did not take the bank account in adolescence. And after joining some discord servers at the time, unfortunately I got a link from a capture bot on a DM.
which opened a false meta mask where I obviously do to my ignorance at the moment. My lack of knowledge I put in my seed phrase and boom, guess what happened. All the work that I have been doing for the past months just vanished. It was very
very, very difficult. It was very challenging because you feel like disoriented at the moment because everything you know can just go in one click, right? But then meditating and going over the situation I understood that I could have been more
more responsible with educating myself with the new technologies that was approaching. So what I'm trying to share here is that even if you are, you've been working in the Web 3 space, if you're collaborating at any DAO or
Or if you bought your crypto and you're handling it in your wallet, please do take the courses because it's never too late or too early to learn and we secure in this space because this will help you gain confidence and responsibility about the freedom of having your assets and it can happen
to anyone if you don't have the knowledge on how to avoid these situations. They're everywhere, they change, but there are some basic rules which are all in the WebPros Security course so that you can at least learn how to be aware, be on alert, and
And not click certain things and just be more careful with your funds. So I hope that inspires everyone here in the spaces to take the courses. If you already have a wallet still, do the wallet basics course, start with that.
to the fundamentals of blockchain also to learn the why, right? I want to also highlight that our lessons do not only share what you can do or how to take care, but we try to go deep into the why because that way people
can absorb better the knowledge and think about it after the lesson, understanding why are we doing this, the fundamentals of blockchain and of the space in general. So just a kind reminder there to why it's important to take the lessons.
(crickets chirping)
Okay, thank you. What did you speak? No, let me tell you. You know, I wanted something on El Azad is like reminded me of you know, Kutubo's Ogorad, he got hurt and then I mean I was I sympathized with him a lot and and not sure I
what came out of my mouth as an advice to him was like bro have you have you taken the wireless security on Bangladesh Akadam? I'm pretty sure he can't remember that right and and I was like you go take the course because we are in a
in an ecosystem or space where if you are not very careful your wallet, your assets, things that you've built and accumulated through sweat and blood can be easily taken away from you. So understand
And then the security is like it's an open and nice very very fundamental. Yeah. Yeah, also. So I think I think that one thing that would be awesome to do while
We are still on the subject of how people currently learn, especially how people are going to get on board the learning Africa today. It invites folks who are in the audience, especially Africans. I can see a couple of people here.
and have some things to share on that to come up and actually share their insights maybe even share their own onboarding story with us and yeah so feel free to request the mic guys again we are not we're not actually here too
to teach where we are actually here to discuss collective and try to understand where we are as a community and as individuals and of course how part of the academic and make help so far too. 100% we'd love to hear more about
any of the stories of onboarding as you mentioned, Abidemi, and as I think it's a case that it seems that many Africans in this space get onboarded through friends, not probably because they saw a link on a website or a podcast, but mostly like Word of mouth. To mine
I see there's a lot of movement in Nigeria and the city of Lagos. So it would be great to hear any stories of all the friends here to hear if you were taking lessons. How have you learned what three and also what would you like to see in Backless Academy?
Yeah, so hi, Bride. You requested the mic. Would you like to share?
and I hope you come here. Hello. Yeah, but there is a safety in the back of our way.
Okay, sorry about that. So I would also find out, so if we take this course as a bankless economy, we have like this education to show proof of. And secondly, I think it's a good initiative because I try to have my self.
I think there was a link that was sent to me and I'm sticking with Godly then. Everything for a while, so I think this is a good initiative. So I want to know if there will be like this, this is literally shows that maybe if I tell it like that, it goes with you and moving forward like this.
So that's what we're going to do.
Sure, thanks, Bright, for your question. Yes, at the end of each horse, we have a certification. This means that after the lesson, you are able to, during the lesson, you are able to answer some questions, like simple quizzes, but at the end, we have a quest. So with this quest, you
are invited to take action on something related to the lesson. For example, in wallet basics is making your wallet in the more advanced lessons about layer 2s such as optimism. The quest has to do with transferring bridging eith to the option
they remain in your wallet as a proof that you've taken the course and that you have knowledge in the field. Now of course as Academy we are now working deeply to be able to have Academy badges incorporated within other communities or in different spaces so that each
time these badges have more validation within the space. At the moment a lot of communities are considering it and we're working hard to be able to provide also value to explorers that have their curriculum up to date. Just now in the month of
February for our first birthday, we were able to collaborate with Lens Protocol and all the explorers that actually had their lessons taken and their quests achieved. And of course their academy badges minted. They were able
able to claim a lens profile to now go one step further in Web 3 and participate in Web 3 social. So that would be about the part of credentials. Can you share again your second question, right, please?
Yeah, so my second question was actually no question. I was I go up by my wallet I placed on the link that's actually right. It is everything in my wallet. So yeah. And is it free? I mean, yes. Yes.
Yes, that's a very important topic. You just touched there. We are defined as public goods, so we work to be able to provide education for free, accessible to everyone with a phone and with access to internet.
So actually that it's ready to be used while you're on your phone. So you can do everything directly on your phone. As think that Gate also mentioned there that we are aware of the infrastructure challenges that Africa faces.
And that's why we also are very mobile friendly. The app is very easy to use from your phone. And this we hope that helps many communities get access to education because it's free. It's on mobile. You just have to have the the willing
to be able to take your time, educate yourself, whatever time that you can, one hour a day to hour, whatever you can to actually level up and you just need a phone and connection to the internet. And yes, it's free and it will be always free for all.
Awesome, right if you don't have any other questions or anything else to share. Thank you so much for actually coming up and sharing your insights. Also, you know, pointing out to us that we actually do know to state that because it's free and you don't need to
be anyone is there anyone else would like to share their experience, their own body and experience, does it have to even be a personality, it could be your friend, it could be you know having resources or having an idea on you know the right resources to recommend to
friends and families who are like trying to ask you, hey what's this blockchain, what's the descriptor currency, what's this device, anyone? Okay, you guys saw for free to share the mic as we go along. We're like, we're almost at the end of these spaces.
but onnela and also think I would like us to actually share maybe in more details and also maybe personally I know that I think that it has mentioned as giving us the example of Kutsubu gets enrolled
you know, he's recommending that because we'll go to take the course spot. I was just thinking if we could explore a lot more other ways that like the wireless academy lessons can be useful to Africans within space or even outside of this space.
Okay, so let me let me frontrun or nail a little bit So this is something that a lot of people don't I think yeah people haven't noticed it that much but there is one course on actually
Academy called DEX aggregates. And I think this is really good for a lot of folks in places like Africa, etc. When you are doing transactions, sometimes Translashing fees can be a pain in the butt. DEX aggregates
you know, protocols or apps that physically crawl, virus, decentralized exchanges and give you the best reach for whatever swap you are doing, right? And so this is one cause that I think would benefit a lot of people to actually
use and understand how they aggregate this work and they use them efficiently. So they will save you some gas or some money when you are performing your swabs etc. So that is one, some of the hidden things within some of the
courses in the academy. I'm not out this thin is that I think academy has a very they have a very collaborative team and they are very very they like to coordinate and to collaborate right and so they they
basically they are open to various collaborations and the site itself is open to people who want to integrate it in various things and as a public good I think that I always like to say that if there is an opportunity to call out
So if you are here and you know a community, anywhere in Africa, right? And they also have like an education platform and then they want to integrate their sites. They can reach out to the academy squad. We are here to collaborate. It's not a competition.
It's not, it's not, it's not gatekeeping. Good, good. That is the way. It's not gatekeeping, right? So if you have a very unique community and you want to reach out to the academy team, I highly recommend that you reach out to them. And then the team also creates specific
courses and educational posts. So one is the debunkless Dow Constitution. So they have all these pegs, you know, very interesting stuff that they do that add a lot
of value to the platform uses. And so I highly recommend that just take your time. And when you're on the site, take your time, look at the various courses. And each, each one, each one has so much value to whether you are a new
to both new beasts and veterans in this piece. Again, for Africans, L2s are the way. When Vitalik came to Africa, one of the things that he could not stop talking about is L2s. Because gas fees are again
they are painting their butt like paying one dollar for a swap in some part of Africa is huge right and L2s make sure that you are able to use the blockchain as it should be and there is literally a cause on L2 blockchains on the academy website
And so I know you can sometimes sense the passion in my voice when I'm talking and it's not because I am shilling or distanced but it's just that the cause is over there give so much value to a lot of people in frontier places like Africa and
and other places and they help them actually learn how to use their blockchain effectively and efficiently. So yeah, so definitely just check out the site and then there is every cost art value and every cost on your crypto chain.
And don't forget, go to banklessafricard.com, click on lane, creep 2, and boom, academy is all yours. There is an alpha. Onyla, onyla, onyla, touch on it, but let me give the mic to him. Maybe we should have something to share then after that we can drop the alpha.
Hi, Onila. Are you there?
Yes, sorry, I wasn't able to unmute. Yes, thank you. Think they gave I would like to invite everyone also that this space is doesn't end here that we are open every day to the community. So if you take the lessons, please feel free to share questions.
on Twitter. We are at the moment at GM XYZ. We will be soon making changes to how we are structuring our community, but we'll keep you guys updated on that. But in the meantime, while taking the lessons, please do not be afraid to ask questions on Twitter, even my
DMs. We are always there to help to guide you through the different lessons, to give you tips and tools to be able to level up and work through education. But remember that if you do it publicly, it's always better because not only do other people see the questions and the answers are this
also helps, right, scale the level of knowledge sharing so that everyone can learn more more evenly in a more fair way. So if you are here in this space, I really invite you also here with the whole Academy team to take the lessons and engage tell us.
What would you like, what you didn't like, what would you improve, what lesson do you think for missing, what would you like to see next? We're here to listen and to provide value to the community. So I think that would be the main call to action for everyone. So thank you.
Alpha time, alpha time, let's drop the alpha. Okay, so for those of us in the Q2 species, you are in the audience and you are very active in the Q2 species. You would know that one of the most interesting
interesting narratives currently is what's very social right and it's basically in line with decentralization where we are taking back our data, our you know our social media lives from the the authoritarians they were two and you
would know that one such ecosystem that is built in relentlessly is the lens protocol. And so the lens protocol is our three social media platform. That is empowering people to take back control when it comes to social media and the platform
or the virus, the ecosystem, the lens ecosystem has been very, very vibrant and there's a lot going on there. But one of the things is that you need to be allowed to be able to access the ecosystem and then the apps. And so from the good news,
and from the collaboration of the Academy Squad and I'm adding by class Africa 2 you can have the opportunity to get yourself and lens account. I work three social accounts and how can you get that? I would pass that my
to Anela to tell us how you can secure a lens profile by a bunch of this. Sure, thank you. Thank you. Yes, I was as I was sharing that a little bit earlier. That was our anniversary gift. That was in February. So we have already delivered
in this case all the handles for the all the explorers that had taken all their Academy lessons. Now at the moment, we have to be honest, we are not able to confirm this for a second or third time. We are working closely with the Lens team.
But I'm pretty sure that possibilities will open up if we have more explorers taking lessons because if we can show to the lens team that actually our platform that we're building is useful that friends are engaging that are learning and that the academy
Academy badges have been claimed, then it gives you know like much a much better push so that the lens team can consider a second or third delivery of of lens handles to be part of Web 3 social. The idea of that also is that to whoever already has lens to be able to also
connect with us within the lens gardens ecosystem. So and also not only in alpha within lens, but we're working on collaborations to see how we can provide value to explorers that have their curriculum up to date, not only with web 3 social maybe in the future, it could be
