Thank you. Hey, GM, everyone.
Rachel and John will be joining us soon.
Thanks, everyone, for joining us.
Jose, great to see everyone.
Will, thanks for the emojis. so
GM Rachel. Hello, hello, GM everybody. How is it growing? We finally have the one, the only,
Jimmy Cohen here today with us, you guys. We got Penguin, we got Jimmy, we got Will T,
Galilee, Pixel, KFMe, my eardrums just blew out from that.
But listen, you guys, we are going to have a great space today.
We're having a holiday party here, DeFi Roots Weekly. We got our man John Ruth coming up here shortly.
And shout out to the On-Chain Media family.
I see Galgi here, our latest onboard for doing clipping on the On-Chain Media team.
Our community team as well, Pixel here,
who's hosting our OnChain Media Storytellers Alliance spaces every week.
So you guys, we'd love to have you up.
And yeah, if you haven't already, please reshare, retweet this room.
Give a follow to Azos if you haven't followed them already.
And yeah, we'll get started here in a minute.
Should we start with some holiday music today, you guys? What do you think?
Give me some holiday songs, you guys.
Got DJ Rachel on chain here today
Anything by Michael Bublรฉ.
Rocking around the Christmas tree.
I'm combining two different requests.
Jingle bells by Michael Bublรฉ.
Merry Christmas, Mr. Biblay.
Are you ready to sing a little jingle bell?
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells Jingle bells Awesome. Well, you guys, with that, I think we are ready to kick off the show today,
starting with some holiday music, holiday vibes. Christmas is next week, you guys. Holiday
season is in the air. And we have some incredible folks here. I see Jimmy throwing up emojis.
Zero X Joshua just popped on the space, you guys.
We got Penguin, Galgi, Dan the Man Hendrickson out there, Nick West.
So many folks from the OnChain Media community.
It's great to see you guys today.
And I'm sure you all have heard me talk about Jimmy Cohen, Tree Gens.
I've been very impressed with Jimmy's work over the years and, you know, have been a regular supporter and collaborator of Tree Gens. I've been very impressed with Jimmy's work over the years
and have been a regular supporter
and collaborator of Tree Gens.
So, you know, makes sense that Tree Gens and Azos
are now collaborating as well.
So we're gonna dive into it all on this space today.
I think I'll pass it off to Penguin or John,
if you guys wanna take the mic and take it from here.
Definitely. What's up, what's up everybody out there? How are y'all doing?
Hope you're doing great coming up on the holiday season.
Hope you're going to get to spend some time with the people that matter most to
you, whoever that might be.
And we'll be taking a couple of weeks off over the next couple of weeks.
So maybe we'll pop in for some, some quick spaces or,
quick activations here and there.
So always keep an eye on our account.
If you're not following the ASOS account, that's a great thing to do right about now.
And as Rachel said, to go ahead and share the space out, make sure we get a lot of folks in here today.
Definitely excited to have Jimmy with us.
We've been working to coordinate with him a couple weeks now.
And he's a busy guy and traveling around and planting trees as always.
So great to have you with us, Jimmy.
I don't know, any general updates you want to share with us, Penguin, today?
I feel like, well, maybe one thing I will say is that we have officially opened up the gates
and taken off the guard of our launch.
When we originally launched on mainnet,
we did have a passcode required to set up a vault.
We did that just for safety's sake to keep things a little slow
as we got the first few vaults up and running.
I need to hop on the page,
but I believe we have 47 different vaults up and running right now,
We're looking to hit 50 as soon as possible.
And also a little output for anybody that hasn't heard.
There is some additional incentives for the first 50 vaults.
So if we have a couple more slots left before 50, you definitely want to get vaults open
because there's going to be some great incentives around our AZ bots,
which we may or may not talk a little bit more about.
I'm not sure how much Penguin wants to release on that alpha today,
but maybe I'll hand it over to Penguin for any other updates
on how things are going in the ASOS universe.
Yeah, we're actually up to 48 volts,
and there's one more day left to open a vault so that you can enter into the $100 giveaway.
So if you have not done it, there's a pretty good chance that you could win $100 by going to Ezo's Finance and opening a vault.
So check out that information and giveaway that's pinned in the top.
So check out that information and giveaway that's pinned in the top.
I also have information about another way that you can participate and earn seeds through the community.
So people that have already been showing up, I'll have a nice gift for you guys that I'll discuss a little bit later on.
We also have a PO app, I believe, that we'll share on on the second half so maybe in about uh 10 minutes
or so is that that right john and uh yeah giving people opportunity to come up and talk at the end
yeah we definitely have a po app i think it goes live at the half hour so we'll we'll drop a code
uh midway through the the uh the space here to keep
you all in the end of your seats and make sure you hang out for the uh po app at the end uh for
those that don't have you'll want to download the po app oh map uh that's where you can collect all
your po apps if you're not already a poet collector it's a great way to uh collect these uh nfts that
are basically a proof of attendance it's called a proof of attendance. It's called a proof of attendance protocol.
So it's a great way to collect BoApps both for our spaces,
but I'm sure if you get to any crypto events or other spaces,
there's a lot of folks that are always giving out BoApps.
So good to always start collecting those if you're not already.
I'm also going to post here in just a second,
but we did just post up a walkthrough on how to set up a vault.
So if anybody out there is feeling stuck or needs a little help, it kind of takes you through step by step.
So I'll get that posted up top here in a second as well.
And one thing I want to add there, too, you guys, is if you set up a vault today, you can actually leave this space with 100 AZUSD.
We are picking somebody live on
this space. Anyone who's opened up a vault, retweeted the giveaway post and followed and,
you know, showed screenshots that you've done the things. We are picking somebody for 100 AZUSD
prize today. So, sorry, AZUSD prize today. So, very excited for somebody to walk away with $100
just follow the steps above. If you open up a
vault, just take your screenshot,
follow ASOS, OnChainMedia,
myself, and we'll be selecting a winner here
at the end of the show. Now, without
further ado, John, I don't know if we should pass it
over to Jimmy. I feel like, you know,
we've been waiting to do a proper
space and talk about the ASOS and Tregen's collaboration. I see like, you know, we've been waiting to do a proper space and talk about
the Azos and Tregen's collaboration. I see Jimmy's laughing over there. Jimmy, we're so excited to
have you on today. What's growing on, man? I'm so grateful to finally be here with stable internet.
We got the Starlink growing on. We made it. Let's roll. We made it. We made it.
I'm so glad we made it. I'm so glad we made it.
Penny, where are you in the world?
Have you had your Ethiopian coffee today?
I'm in the land down under.
I'm back in Australia right now.
I have not had any coffee today.
I'm having these other healthy vitamin, caffeine, guarana things.
It includes some goodness.
My brother's recommended that to me right now.
So that's what I'm sipping on in the morning. Let's grow. Yeah, let's grow. Let's grow. I see we got the
growmunitree.tgn in the audience. This guy has so much phenomenal energy. He's such a passionate
and incredible individual. If he can come up, I'm sure he's going to blow your mind.
below your mind. But I'm so grateful to be here. So, so glad we can make this happen.
But I'm so grateful to be here. So glad we could make this happen.
Absolutely. Now, Jimmy, you know, I've known you in this space for several years. We've
collaborated on several things and it makes sense to me, you know, knowing the ASOS team,
also knowing some of these guys for a long time that you guys are collaborating. So can we talk
about the origin story here? I don't know, Penguin, Josh or Jimmy, you guys want to take this, but what was the initial meeting point?
Like, how did this partnership begin? And yeah, I guess, where'd you guys start?
Rachel, you might not know this, but actually you invited me to an event in LA, that base event, was it? A new day one.
A new day one. Yeah, you invited me there
and at that event, I managed
to meet the glorious penguin and
he gave me such an incredible
Civil, shout out to Civil in the audience,
who said, hey, penguins at
if you're in la you gotta meet penguin and i was like i bet and then rachel you invited me to the
event and then so boom that's how that kind of like first kind of came to be i mean i've known
joshua for a while you know at the other eth events but um but but yeah one thing led to another and
i i know civil super bullish on ASOS as well.
And I love this concept to have a stable coin that is only created by backing regenerative
You know, like we all want the green tokens to grow, you know, and to be able to have
this opportunity to be able to, you know, as collateral grow lateral to you know if you if
when shit hits the fan if you need money you don't necessarily have to sell the tokens
in order to to to get some spending power and i think that's an absolute game changer so i'm just
super grateful that the tree gens is able to participate in that way after uh after we met in LA.
Yeah. Wow, I didn't know this.
Didn't know that you were part of the origin story, Rachel,
It's like, yeah, your vibe attracts your tribe, right?
And it makes sense that Jimmy would find Penguin
I actually had the pleasure of interviewing Penguin there live.
And, you know, I'm going to dig that up really quick because I want to show you guys that
interview from A New Day One.
And then, you guys, I also have some exclusive unreleased content with Jimmy as well.
Jimmy, you don't know this, but I am planning on releasing your interview from our documentary
as a standalone podcast interview.
Our interview came out really awesome in San Francisco.
So I want to release that as its own thing, just to kind of showcase your work and everything that you do.
I'm pumped for that to come out.
You did such a great job with that documentary.
You're so, so professional.
I know you're only like a few hours sleep, but you absolutely crushed it,
Rachel. You're amazing. Yeah. Thank you so much, Jimmy. Yeah. Creating, creating a film,
you guys, I mean, it's like with anything in life, ends up being like 10 times more work
than you would think it is, but so, so fulfilling. I love storytelling and, you know,
the documentary is called On ChainChain Humans and Impact.
And I thought, who better than to bring Jimmy, you know, Guinness World Record holder for
most trees planted in the world, you guys.
So actually, you know, he's out here making an impact and leveraging blockchain and in
So Jimmy, just super grateful to collaborate and to have you here today.
Part of, I believe, Let's Grow Down, Kingfisher Media as well.
Will, do you have a question or anything?
I was actually hoping to get some live technical assistance on the space of opening a vault
because I seem to be having some challenges.
So I don't know if Penguin's up for that or not.
So I have my wallet connected to the ASOS or app.asos.finance.
And I clicked on the people icon and it says new safe.
Okay. So when I click on new safe, I want to open a TGN safe. And this is a slick interface. If you guys haven't played around with
this, it's going to read all your token balance that's relevant to the ASOS ecosystem. So I like
that. Okay. Now I'm going to deposit my TGN. Is that right? Yes, that's correct.
So you'll actually deposit TGN and borrow AZUSD when you open the safe, both actions at once.
Okay, so both actions at once.
So I've deposited 200 TGN.
I'm borrowing 13.33 AZUSD. On the right-hand side, it says input the amount of tokens,
approve the tokens, and I have my token allowance,
and it says approval is already enough,
and it says submit, confirm your deposit.
But the submit button is grayed out,
and there's a little red circle with a line through it over that submit button.
So the minimum amount that we allow for borrowing is actually $20.
Okay. So I have to deposit more. I gotcha.
So if I did like 400 TGN,
which is $40, then I could borrow.
Ah, okay, cool. And then I have to approve it in that submit. Ah. Okay, cool.
And then I have to approve it in that Smith.
So that solves what I was doing wrong.
I love the live onboardings we do on our shows.
If anybody else is getting set up with a vault and you have questions, feel free to jump up.
Shimona, you know, in our inner spaces, a couple of people were asking us just yesterday.
They asked me, you know, how how has TGN been so stable?
How have you been able to actually like over the over months now, we've actually outperformed Bitcoin, Ethereum and Sol Solana, which is kind of mind-blowing to think as an old coin.
And then they're like, how? How?
And the first thing I say is actually, well, you know, we have this incredible partnership with ASOS because our community is so diehard and passionate.
Like our logo is literally tattooed on skin and five people are getting the tattoo.
but um and so obviously like we don't want to sell it we're bullish on the long-term vision of
this and where we're going but uh but if something happens like there is this opportunity here to use
azos as a platform uh which avoids sell pressure so like that's a beautiful thing plus we were able
to even launch an additional liquidity pool by leveraging funds from our treasury.
And that's also a game changer.
So super grateful for this partnership.
I think it's really done wonders for TGN.
And I think it's going to do so much.
Yeah, that's the kind of partnerships.
And that's the kind of partnerships we've been really trying to build.
We're seeing that with some of the other partnerships as well, that really there's, you know, all the partnerships, particularly the Penguin and Joshua
have built, they've really been win-win partnerships. You know, yes, we want to get
new partners onto ASOS, but it's also like, how can we help you? Because if we help you win,
then we're going to win and vice versa. So it really is a win-win mentality when it comes to
ASOS. And I really appreciated what you said on the uh on your first comment a little bit earlier just
talking about the idea of of this stable point backed by green assets because personally for
a long time i i believe that uh one of the greatest use cases that we can build and that's
really what is building in crypto is new forms of money that are actually backed by positive impact.
So when you're either utilizing the protocol to access AZUSD
or you're swapping your USDC into AZUSD,
you know that that dollar token, the AZUSD,
actually represents good stuff in them.
And you really can't say that about
almost any other stable point out there. I think about the only other one would be our partner,
Glodal. Outside of that, it's just not a positive impact on the back end. And certainly,
without getting into the US dollar too deeply, we all know the US dollar is not backed by positive impact in the
world. And so being able to generate new forms of value like this is just such a powerful tool.
And I think that's a lot of why I've been excited to join and work with the team. It's just such a,
it really is the future of how we can finance the change we want to.
It makes me happy to know that ASOS is helping to power a project like TreeGens that is really out there making an impact.
And I think this is one of the first really great examples of what's possible with ASOS.
Jamie was just saying his token has outperformed uh some of the top uh coins in our
industry and um i just think that's really impressive and i'm i'm excited to see the
long-term growth of uh tree gens and azos together um i do see some folks that keep up from the on
chain media community i see an og here let's grow down i see jerry here. Jerry is up here. Will T. Dan the man. Pixel. Joshua, we haven't heard from you as well.
Maybe if anybody has any questions, wants to raise your hand or unmute, feel free.
He's probably calls right now.
Let's see if we got any questions.
The headphones only work on one thing at a time.
Well, we got a hand up from Dan, the man, Hendrickson.
How is it going today, my friend?
It's in between building games and all sorts of crazy stuff. The man, Hendrickson, how is it going today, my friend? Oh, it's awesome.
It's in between building games and all sorts of crazy stuff.
I always have time to play with my vault, my new vault.
Yeah, so I'm actually, I was happy to see the space today and jump on.
And I'm actually in the platform and kind of exploring what it means to actually like pay back into my vault and like settle with it. And I'm just using the UI and learning.
And so what should I be thinking about or looking for?
about or looking for as i as i like in other words if i borrowed az usd uh and i just like
approved a balance to give back um how do i make sure that it's fulfilled
so when you open as go ahead john
Yeah, so there is the feature in your vault to be able to pay back the AZUSD,
and I'm sure you're seeing that in the drop-down menu.
So you can go to that feature, and you can decide,
hey, I want to pay back the amount of AZUSD towards my vault,
or if you want to go so far as to close it all the way out.
It'll allow you to select how much you would like to pay back into your vault and then you'll submit that
and then after that transaction is processed you should see the the remaining balance in that vault
unless you've actually closed the vault in which case a ball then is going to be at zero. So you should see the borrowed amount decreasing. One thing
to note, which a few people get hung up on is even if you've had the vault open for a
small amount of time, it is accruing a small amount of interest. It's 5% over the year.
And so you will need a little bit more ASUSD than you borrowed to fully close out the fully payment.
So just to note that you can swap
from USDC into ACUSD on Aerodrome.
If you go to our page, there is a spot on our page
that has that pool of information.
So you can just go to that.
So you can just dig around in Aerodrome.
Oh, John, yeah, thank you so much.
You know, it's being a builder of software and encountering new tools out there.
It's always fun to kind of wrap my head around new controls.
It's a very good experience.
And I'm learning a lot here.
So thank you guys for like standing this up.
I didn't know what I was jumping into at first.
like this is immensely valuable so yeah keep up the great work and uh thanks again for the live
on air tech support i appreciate you guys it's the best no i hope that more people out there
are thinking about how to open a vault and and you know don't be shy you guys if you want to come up
I love doing the live onboarding
because it means people are genuinely engaged
And I also see a hand up from the one and only Pixel,
you guys, from the On-Chain Media team.
Hey, Rachel, it's going good.
Hey, JVGens. John, Thank you so much for having me up here. I'm super bullish on ASOS and I'm like looking at your site about starting a vault.
to start is like 20. But like my question is, so when you put 20, you're also borrowing 20?
Or? Yeah, so that's my question. Penguin, Josh, you guys want to take this one?
So each one of the positions and saves are over collateralized. So you'll need to stake more than 20 to borrow
20. So in the last example, I think he staked $40 of TGN. I think the smallest amount that you could
stake are with the stable coins because they have higher capital efficiency. So I think the minimum is something like 23 or $24 of USDC or HLSP to borrow $20 of
AZUSD. Okay, perfect. Cause like, this is going to be like, I'm just a beginner. So I want to
start like beginner friendly, you know what I mean? So that would be like the best place to start a vote.
100% and that's partially why we have set that so low is so folks can get in and play around.
We do recognize especially a lot of folks
that are maybe holding some of these tokens
or not maybe DeFi junkies
and are utilizing these lending platforms as much.
So we want to make it as accessible as possible
for folks to get in and learn along
Also just dropping a note out to Sybil,
I saw you requesting our stages for right now,
but once we've got a slot, we'll get you up here.
So maybe just request again in a few
and we'll slip you up here.
Yeah, I'll go ahead and send Sybil an invite.
Also, I see some other legends out there in the audience.
I see Karen on chain, you guys.
I got to send Karen an invite so she doesn't call the manager on me.
I see Quigley out there, you guys.
Quigley is such a legend in the base community.
I'm actually having him on a live stream I'm doing later with one of my other clients i work with so super excited to see you later today um
galgie we have galgie out there nick west so many legends uh and i see jose cabrera as well
who's a regular on our shows you guys are all welcome up if you want to come vibe
and i do see some hands up let's see see, Brandon and I think Brandon was first.
Yeah, I'm just checking out the DAP at the moment.
I had a question in regards to the collateral type.
Do you plan to expand that?
And what is the rationale with the ones already chosen?
Again, full disclosure, I'm just finding out about this
now about you guys, ASOS. So I'm, yeah, still very novel. And yeah.
So each one of the assets has a little info button next to them that you can click to learn
a little bit more about the rationale for why we've selected them, what's backing them,
and the impact that they're making. You can also see the price activity of the chart. So you can
get all the information that you want. And those menus have actually been extended to the 11
languages that we support. So even if you want to learn about it outside of English, you have the tools to learn about why we selected them.
Awesome. Awesome. No, I see it. Thank you.
Yeah. And to the question of future assets, we're definitely in talks with several different other green and climate assets that are out there.
in climate assets that are out there, tokenized carbon credits and some of the projects that
So I think the only one I can think of that I immediately would talk about is Klima DAO,
which is a longstanding project in space, in space, has just relaunched their token.
And so we're waiting for them to finalize that and bring them on the platform.
And then there's a few more in work so i love that well it seems like azos is really just creating a lot of very high value partnerships and collaborations with long-standing
uh individuals and projects in in the regen space so that's awesome to see and you guys since people
are asking questions today since you guys are curious about opening your vault, remember we are doing a giveaway today.
We're giving away a hundred AZUSD at the end of this case. We're picking someone who has opened
a vault, retweeted, posted, and followed EZO's finance, on-chain media, and myself,
and showing screenshots to show that you've completed it. And you just do that on the
Somebody will leave here today with a hundred a Z USDC. So very excited for that Um, I see also there's a hand up from Darlington as well. What's going on Darlington?
Yeah, I'm fine. I'm GM GM
GMS and everyone on the space yeah so um i actually have a question
um about the the azos finance yeah so um i'm actually not to use the site here but what i'm
hearing from the christians um asking so i'm actually interested in what i'm hearing yeah so um do you guys have an app yet
maybe a place or app store
yeah that the app is is at app.azos.finance you can find the app
okay okay thank you about that okay okay okay thank you
i'm loving all the questions appreciate all the curiosity from you all and rose here
to help just one both on the spaces yeah go ahead oh ahead. Oh, sorry, sorry to interrupt there.
Is the model similar to MakerDAO slash or Liquity?
I think we have a lag, so I'll let you finish.
So is it more Liquity tv one i'll just i'll
let you go because i'm still yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna let penguin dive into those specifics but
yeah maker dow is one of the big uh inspirations for the protocol particularly rune i believe it
was uh had a post on the forum several years ago kind of describing describing what we've built with ASOS.
And so we've taken the MakerDAO and forked it along with some other things,
but I'll let Penguin jump in with some more specifics.
Thanks, John and Brandon.
So we actually brand ourselves as a third-generation DeFi protocol,
and our first generation was MakerDAO, the second generation being high.
So yeah, we have evolved from that code base. And we're a MakerDAO fork, not a liquidity fork.
So what that essentially means to most people is that the liquidation factor is is different for liquidity the lowest possible
uh collateral ratio is can be liquidated at any time in our platform each person's vaults are
maintained by collateral ratios so as long as your loan is healthy and above the liquidation limits
you will not be liquidated. So it's a little bit
different. And in liquidity, you can set your own rates, but you can be liquidated at any time if
you're the lowest person. So yeah, a little bit of a different mechanic. Yeah. And just a tip for
those that already have a vault, for those of you that are setting one up right now, because I've
seen a couple more, at least one more has popped up maybe that was uh wills when he was setting us up but
um when you're looking at your vault there will be a price for any of the given tokens that would
would be the liquidation price so always do have uh good visibility on on that on the platform
No, I'm a big fan. I just wanted to say, love that because I think CDPs in general are very
underrepresented, especially on base. And I think most people are kind of familiar with like, you
know, when it comes to stable coins, people are familiar with like USDC or USDT, but like we really
don't give enough credit to crypto backed stable coins where you have
you have the underlying collateral being backed by the same fundamentals as like the blockchain
itself like that's actually like i could kind of like know that about this but um but yeah it's
like it's cool it's like it's cool to like hold an asset that's actually stable and then just go
like hey yeah this is actually backed by um not some black box or like you know like hey we have
um you know multiple banks with like various sort of degrees, you know, like, hey, we have, you know, multiple banks
with like various sort of degrees and, you know, you have to kind of trust them and go
like, yeah, yeah, we have the collateral asset type.
Because like even USDC, I don't think people speak.
I don't think people remember it had a DPEG recently, like and it's like nothing like
nothing is really quite secure, like unless you can verify it on shame.
That's kind of the reason we're here for.
So yeah, before I go on a bit of a ramble, but yeah.
And that's certainly the principles we're living behind,
is that if you're going to be a crypto stablecoin,
you should go all the way.
And that's exactly right.
And I'm right there with you, all these guys that say, trust us.
We've got a vault full of money or some, you know, treasury bonds or whatever else.
We promise it's all backed by something real.
It's a little harder to trust that than it is to know, hey, I can see these assets on
I think it is, yeah, such a powerful tool. Absolutely. And real quick, I just wanted to ask
if we got an update here from Penguin on the POAT for today's space. We are past 30 minutes in. I
don't know if we can share the code or how to claim the POAT for today's space.
pull out for today's space. Yeah, John, I believe, set up the secret word for today,
as we should be over the halfway mark and able to claim. John, would you share the phrase for
people today? Yeah, I just have to go back to my note and remember what I said.
Yeah, I also want to share a little bit more about the promotion that I hinted at at the start.
So anyone that has showed up into the Discord before and said GM, I'm going to be playing Santa.
So by next week, I'm going to be distributing seeds for everyone that showed up and said GM over the past years.
So you still have a week that you can come into the Discord and you can come say GM with us and make sure that you're showing up.
And, you know, I'm going to reward the people that did it without, you know, thinking about it, that were there for the past year.
And that's really how I think that it's important, is that people that show up and do the right things should get rewarded without kind of having to think about it or, you know, play degenerative games, which, you know, sometimes it's fun to play that.
But sometimes it's good to just show up and do the right thing.
So we want to make sure that we're
I'm looking for the link to the Discord
right now. For those of you that are not
there already, I'm going to grab that really
quick and share with y'all.
for the POAP, the secret word today is DeFi-is-fun. DeFi is fun.
should be live and ready for the next 23 or so minutes.
So get your get your PO apps.
Never know when we might be rewarding folks that are holding on.
John, where do I put that password?
It's gotta be mobile app.
But I think that I think I believe so so if you go to the po app home
app and then you go to the mint and you click the mint button on the front one of the one of the
options will be secret word so you click secret word in the mint and then you enter the phrase
amazing i also may be able to get a few links if there are folks that aren't able to to get the
app or to get that going i didn't request any links this week yet but i think i'll be able to get a few links if there are folks that aren't able to get the app or to get that going.
I didn't request any links this week yet, but I think I'll be able to after the fact.
So for some reason, you have issues dropping my DMs.
Got my DeFi roots pull out.
And you guys, if you get your pull out, feel free to make a post, tag Azos, share your screenshots.
I'm going to comment on our spaces here and show you guys.
And remember, you guys, we're going to be looking through in the next 20 minutes
to select a winner of our giveaway.
For somebody that has opened up a vault on Azos and has followed the steps above,
we'll be selecting someone by the end of the space.
Now, I do want to bring it back.
We have some other speakers up here.
But I see a familiar face, you guys.
Civil, it's really great to see you.
I definitely hear from you before we bring it back here.
Yeah, thanks for hosting this space.
It's really cool to see how it's all coming together.
And it's actually working the borrowing and creating stable stable assets stable coins so to speak
in a decentralized way um yeah and and also like the the website it's it's really cool to see like
how it's how it's improving over the last few months and like going through all the all the
tests and all the individual onboarding and now to see all the yeah all the feedback and all the actual onboarding
from now, from anywhere, from everyone.
The thing I was curious about,
what's the current status on what's happening with TGN
regarding staking and APY and the aerodrome stuff is that
maybe a walkthrough that's coming soon the aerodrome pool set up defy learning
education thingies definitely that's that's on my list I've been creating
some walkthroughs I'm a little behind, uh, right this minute,
but I am going to be creating a walkthrough on setting up, uh,
and they'll be in the urgent rules and utilizing those. So yes,
look for that, uh, in the near future.
Also working on a walkthrough on how to claim your seeds for anybody that,
believes they may have earned any seeds today, you can go to our claims page.
It's claim.azos.finance and connect your wallet.
You'll be able to see any seeds that you have available.
So make sure you get out there
and claim those seeds along the way.
there's gonna be some awesome gamification coming
in order to transform those seeds into the Azos token.
So you definitely want to be collecting those seeds into the azos token so so you definitely want to be collecting those seeds or plant those seeds and grow together plant those
seeds yeah a little bit of an update with the the aerodrome tgn azusd pool
is we're actually exploring another decks to potentially transfer that pool over to because it will have better rewards and be featured higher
Like in in arrow you have to it's kind of in like you have to click like this other pools button
So it's not super intuitive
But with this other there's some calls that are still happening. Maybe it's a little bit still early days to announce it, but
Just stay tuned. We will be notifying the grow muni tree as soon as that new pool launches with some
some noise rewards when you add to the pool
that is so exciting um yeah i love to see all the progress you're making jimmy with tree gens i mean
i remember you coming out we were talking in san franc Francisco about the TGN launch. And now to see how far you guys have come,
it's just really inspiring. And I'm curious, what are you most excited about for
the partnership and collaboration with ASOS Finance?
Ooh la la. Well, you know, I'm really excited for this thing to keep growing, you know,
as we establish more credibility and grow this, the more we can leverage our treasury
to have deep liquidity pools. See, this is the thing, like, when whale buys come in,
right, like, especially if you're starting out and your liquidity isn't, like, that deep,
it's that you suffer from slippage. So you don't really get the best rate if you're starting out and your liquidity isn't like that deep, it's that you suffer from slippage.
So you don't really get the best rate if you want to make like a big buy of a token,
But if you have that deeper pool, you know,
at which we're able to, you know, continuously deepen over time,
then those big whale buys become far easier to do
because you don't have this kind of slippage loss.
And so I'm excited for that
You know our pool is going to come deeper with AZUSD
And that's going to be the place to be especially as people add
To the pool with those nice rewards through the decks as well and some really good yields
And so so yeah as this becomes deeper over time we'll attract more whales we'll uh, you know
Continuously grow it and the tree economy will be coming into full swing, baby.
I can't wait to see what 2026 holds for Azos, for Tree Gens.
I'm just so proud of everyone here and everything you guys have all built.
If anybody has any questions about Tree Gens, TG tgn azos uh opening up a vault um definitely
open to taking questions and i see callie is here you guys i gotta give shout i gotta give callie
some flowers because he literally brought me flowers yesterday to this event in la it was so
sweet you guys i just feel like so honored to work alongside callie on the on-chain media team
he's always showing up supporting others super positive, and just a hard worker, you guys. So I just got to give
him his flowers. He literally brought me flowers yesterday. So Callie, good to see you here.
Hey, good to see you too, Rachel and John and Azos and Tree Gens. Jimmy, what's up?
Pixel, man, so many legends up in here. I I see Quigley I haven't seen Quigley in

up in here and I so i love uh the base community
you guys you guys are all awesome you guys are positive building you guys are helpful you know
and supportive and that's what it's all about you know because at the end of the day it comes down
to the people that are showing up and showing up every day and um and trying to just build this
uh for the future for the better because we're still so early. I mean,
look what just happened with Coinbase yesterday, right?
We're still so early. So I'm bullish on you guys.
I don't have a question at the moment and I'm apologize.
Apologize that I'm going to come in a little late.
I'm just getting out of school.
I was volunteering at my kid's school and we had an amazing day over there
with a little potluck that was full of just sugars that the kids were just freaking going nuts, bro.
It was just all bouncing off the walls. It was absolutely great. I happened to catch some video. I made a quick, you know, some quick like TikTok, a short for them.
And they loved it. At the end of the day, they were able to see it and they loved it. It just fills my heart to be able to do things like that
and give back to the ones that matter
and that's the future, our kids.
So, but this is right here.
What we're doing now is what's gonna affect not only them
but the generations behind them guys.
So I'm proud of all you guys
and you guys are definitely doing something.
I love what Azos is doing.
I love what Tree Gens and Jimmy's doing.
And yeah, Rachel, I rock with you all day, girl.
And I'm just, I'm so proud of you and how you've been busting your butt.
She got, she's, man, me and her, we bust our butts.
Like we work like 12 to 18 hours a day.
You know it, man. I'm'm waking up i'm doing shows uh yesterday
it was like a six hour journey uh you know uh several things had to happen to coordinate a
video shoot in la at the stand with crypto content day um but we pulled through we got the first
flagship video for on chain media produced yesterday with my videographer and i'm so excited
about that and callie i'm gonna pin the flowers the beautiful bouquet of flowers you bought me
yesterday thank you so much man really appreciate it you're very welcome and i'm honored to work
with alongside with you but actually i did have a question uh jimmy was talking about a liquidity
pool is that correct um is is that a soft a soft stake or is that a hard stake?
Is there like a quarterly?
How much time do we have to put it in
for it to be able to earn some yield?
And yeah, Jimmy hinted to some alpha, sigma even.
So we haven't even had a chance to update the UI
for some of the stuff we're doing.
So to find out and to help with participating in those pools,
you can go to the grow page.
So we have an ecosystem tab that has the grow page next to the seed page.
So you can get a link directly to the liquidity pools that we are
participating in and we'll have some information and education stuff about how to set those properly
coming up but i appreciate that i appreciate that and penguin real quick i missed you yesterday bro
i was really looking forward to seeing you but you know um come
to think there's a there's a president charter in las vegas too that you can connect with with
stand with crypto and i'm sure you guys can do something together you know uh i believe his name
is matt but i can connect you at a later time if you like yeah i'm sorry i missed you yesterday too
i had personal engagements uh with some karate event that I was part of.
I got an award there and was helping boost and set it up and take it down.
So it was not, you know, life likes to stack important things on you at the exact same day and time.
And, you know, you've got to kind of pick and choose.
And while I was planning to make the five-hour
drive back and forth uh they the time of the event shifted from starting at 12 to starting at one so
it it chewed off the hour that i would have been there um but yeah let's definitely connect again
soon and uh yeah i really appreciate staying with crypto and everything that they do
for the community too so i'll i'll be i'll be at the next one hopefully right on brother right on
always looking to meet all you guys you know because i love these spaces and i love connecting
with you guys like john you can tell he's he's a straight up cool dude i know he's out out there
living his dream while you know putting in the work still here,
And all you guys are doing,
I just love to connect with you guys in,
in real life when possible.
you guys have East Denver.
It's going to come up faster than you think you guys after Christmas,
it's like East Denver season is here.
we have joshua here our uh our buffercorn on the space today and joshua is there anything you want
to do it is buffercorn season it we're already in buffercorn season you guys we're already there
i had like several denver calls over the past week you know looking to plan some things
for uh for next year and uh yeah i'm not i'm not going to share too much Alpha here.
I think I'll wait to share more.
But I know that ASOS is going to be having a booth at Eat Denver this year, you guys.
So Joshua, do you want to touch on that at all?
Yes. Yeah, it's like the office, like it is your birthday period.
Yeah, it's like the office, like it is your birthday period.
Yeah, no, we will have a presence again at 8th Denver.
We're still locking in the details of an event we're probably going to be co-hosting.
So I can't leak that yet.
But when it does happen, it will be leaked on a DeFi roots.
And then there's another partnership
we're in the process of forming right now with Hydrex,
which we met on another space via Rachel.
We're in the process of trying to get them
to use AZUSD as a router token.
we'll be able to do a nice deeper tree jump pool. So we're
in the process of working that out right now.
I love it. We got some little alpha breadcrumbs today, it sounds like you guys.
Alpha breadcrumbs today, it sounds like you guys.
If anybody else has any questions here, I see we have Callie, Pixel, Brandon, Sybil, Quigley.
You're more than welcome to come up if you can hear us.
Gauge, Dan, Nick, so many incredible people.
Will, Jerry, you guys are all welcome up if you want to come hang with us.
You know, I will just real quick.
Real quick, Kylie, you just mentioned, like, how important it is to actually meet people.
And I totally resonate with that.
Like, that's been super, super helpful in my Web3 journey as well.
Just makes it all a lot realer.
And actually, yeah, funny also how Joshua and me first met at East Denver, him talking about ASOS.
And yeah, it's just good.
It's just helpful at the end of the day with humans, and it's cool to meet people.
And actually also really underrated, like just local meetups.
You don't need to fly around the world to meet other cool people that are also interested in the same cool things.
On that topic, Carly, a few weeks ago, I think it was in a space that Pixel or Rachel had
We spoke about a meetup in Mexico.
Did you get to make it there?
We find Mexico then, yeah.
I think Jimmy went, I'm pretty sure.
It was three and a half hours away from where I was.
And I was tired the next morning because we had a long,
I think I went live with the Rogue AI team on that Friday night
and then had some drinks after.
So I was up late and it was, yeah, it was a three and a half hour drive.
So I didn't make it out, unfortunately.
But, and then I believe it was Sunday or Monday that Jimmy was talking about
I'm going to be back in Tulum, but then he ended up flying out a little early.
So we're going to have to come back to that and see if we can meet up in the future
and maybe coordinate a little bit better.
Yeah, and I would have loved to meet Jimmy, man, because he's a legend too.
Yeah, I heard you were a regular in Tulum,
and I've fallen in love with that part of the world as well.
We have a really great partnership with Refight Tulum.
We're doing mangrove projects out there.
So it's just a matter of time, man.
We're going to make it happen for sure.
If not there, then eat Denver.
You guys are going to get me to hop on a plane and come hang out.
My FOMO will be max will be mad let me talk to
catch up right now as well you guys we are in the last seven minutes of the space so i am going to
go through i am selecting one lucky winner today you guys of our hundred az usd prize you guys so
uh whoever's opened up a vault, reposted, commented,
and shared that they've done the things on our post,
I will be selecting one of you today.
So John, Penguin, Joshua, I'll pass it back to you guys for anything else.
Yeah, at the end of today, I want to pass it off to Jose.
So I want him to close us out with a little bit of music at the end.
And yeah, right now we have five safes that were opened since last week, 45 through 49.
through 49. So there's still one more save for 50. So yeah, I recommend someone do that before
So there's still one more save for 50.
Rachel picks a winner because you'll also get the Prime AZ bots. So I know we didn't say
enough about those, but that's the extra incentive for being number 50. So you've got a couple of
minutes before Rachel picks someone. We'll probably
go around a little bit and talk about what people are doing and say goodbye. But make sure that you
do that today, now, before she picks a winner. Because after that, it'll be too late. And yeah,
prime az bot did you say that's right so uh we talked a little bit about the az bots
but we we didn't talk about how the first 50 don't just get bots. So they will have full alignment of their
types. So if you have a water type, you'll get all water type elements. If you have a carbon type,
you'll get full carbon type. So each one of our bots has got a different type of element for the many different accessories and parts that they have,
but people that get the first ones,
So they'll get extra special ones.
So that's a little bit of the extra info and alpha for those first 50 people.
Is there going to be any side events that uh hazel's does uh at east denver
yes uh josh hinted at it a little bit we don't have the full details yet so i will have a side
event that we will be hosting stay tuned for info for that and then as always for any of our spaces,
if you drop your address in the discord,
we give out seeds every week for people that showed up to the spaces.
So you came here today, you showed up,
make sure that you get some seeds for showing up.
I went and I tried to join the discord and asked me,
why do you want to join? And I said, because this is awesome.
So that was me, bro. Just so you know
Awesome. Well, you guys I have uh, you know, I'm thinking for today, you guys, I want to pick two winners.
It's our holiday giveaway party space today.
So I would like to incentivize two people who have gone through and done this.
So I'm just going through final options here.
If you guys have any calls to action, anything anybody wants to pin or share before we
drop now will be the time as we uh go into the last three minutes here jimmy if you have anything
coming up that you want to share any calls to action uh feel free oh okay so in exactly one
hour's time we have a spaces it's pinned on the tree gens accounts and we're going over
i think this is one of the most impactful and potentially rewarding ambassador programs ever
so when you join the tree gens ambassador program so first of all why are we doing this you know
we're trying to make history by getting one billion trees planted in a single day if you're hearing
about this goal for the first time you might might think that's absolutely insane. Well, just a couple months ago in Ethiopia,
with the Ethiopian government, we united 29 million tree planters and got 714 million trees
planted in just a single day. Now, since COP30, we have 11 different countries committed to doing
countrywide tree planting days, soon to be 12. We're about to get the 12th one locked in as well.
And so I think it's very likely that we do it,
but we do need a movement to really grow all across the world.
So how are we going to grow this movement?
Well, first of all, we have this official ambassador program
where when you become an ambassador,
thanks to Will T of web3.tgm, thanks to KF Media,
we have a learn for impact program.
So you actually earn TGgn as soon as you finish this
short course so you learn everything about tree gens so that's cool knowledge plus you get tgn as
soon as you complete it that's number one number two you actually get two different nfts so you
notice i have a dot tgn name you everyone's heard of dotty well tree ns actually it lasts forever so
you don't have to keep paying every year you get one of these for free these nft wallets these short nft walls normally have really cool names available
but they can even trade for you they can dollar cost average they can automatically and agentically
trade and they get multiple different airdrops from the ensure token and also from um from tgn
over time if you have it in your display name so you you get a .TGN NFT, you get a limited edition ambassador NFT, you get some TGN straight out of the gate. Plus, we're launching streamed
social fi. So we're launching this platform called PollenFi, which is using superfluid technology
that streams TGN out to you every single second, depending on the real engagement that you get as
you're growing this movement. And so as an official ambassador, you're going to be getting tons of
different templates from memes to the latest alpha stuff that they were launching. So you can
write threads and create animations, all sorts of different stuff. So you get a boosted stream and
you're earning every single second, even more than you otherwise would have. So it's a really
cool program. If you want to learn more about it in just one hour, we're going to be dropping all
that alpha live so that you can join the Tree Gens Ambassador Program, grow the movement, and make history, baby! Let's grow!
Amazing. Amazing. Honestly, I'm so excited. Jimmy, absolutely crushing it with Tree Gens.
Love to see everything you have cooking. A trees planted i think jimmy you talked about this
on one of our previous shows where a goal like that might seem crazy when you first say it but
if you go there incrementally you get enough people you get enough resources globally involved
in this it is an attainable goal so i love that you're shooting for a high goal like that because
it is possible and you're proving like all all these milestones through your work and your project of what is possible, which I hope this inspires more people and more projects to follow suit.
And you guys, I do have our two giveaway winners for today.
I'm very excited to announce if we're ready, let me pull out the soundboard.
We have Bufficorn Ventures and Jerry.
Jerry, Defyter, Refyter, Regen out there.
Member of the Let's Grow DAO, Tregen's community and Regen community.
Gens community and regen community.
Shout out to Jerry for opening up a vault.
Shout out to Jerry for opening up a vault.
And thank you everyone who took the time to do this and show curiosity.
And if you are in the discord for Azos,
you also have the ability to earn some seeds from penguin here.
Christmas is coming early, you guys,
and penguins going out and sending out some seeds to some of the discord.
and sending out some seeds to some of the discord did you um did you want to redraw
the buff corn ventures one yeah uh uh i will say that we're only considering safes that were open
in the last week and i'm not sure uh if those week. Well, then I have another person
who I would say is extremely
who has opened up a vault and done all
things, our man, Cali Crypto.
He's here live on the space with us
right now. And he's engaging.
Thank you. Thank you. Shout out to Callie.
Love what you guys are doing.
And I have a call to action.
You know, a lot of us, you know, we like to judge people on how many followers we have.
I don't go by vanity metrics, guys.
I go by engagement, by realism, by how you can feel the vibes from somebody when they
talk so if you guys are down below and if you guys ever get a chance to come up and engage do so
you know and if you do even get a chance to get to the irl events do so because man that'll just
change the game for you and maybe possibly even get you a job in web3 and i mean for a lot of us
that's the goal and maybe not for you but i know it's definitely been for me and it's helped me immensely guys.
keep on chasing your dreams and make it a reality guys.
what a great space today.
Thanks to everybody that joined us.
We, you know, great to do a little customer support on the call.
Great to get some questions answered, building community together.
Just loving the vibes all around.
Brandon, you had your hand up.
We're going to go to Brandon, and then I think we'll let Jose take us away as we close things out with a little song.
He's not only the man behind all the great tweets you see,
but he's also an amazing musician.
And so we're blessed to have him on the team
and he's gonna play a song for us.
So Brandon, go ahead if you saw the question,
and if not, we'll hand it over to Jose.
No, I just wanted to say, I have to head out now,
just a couple of IRL things,
but I wanted to thank everyone for you.
Thank you guys for your time and thank you for having me.
I really appreciate it. I didn't want to just disappear thank everyone for you. Thank you guys for your time and thank you for having me. I really appreciate it.
I didn't want to just disappear off the stage.
Thank you for being here today, Brandon.
And yeah, really appreciate your support
and for you being here today with us.
And yeah, you guys, it's a little bittersweet today.
