DeSci: What did you get done this week? #1
Recorded: Feb. 14, 2025 Duration: 0:46:09Space Recording
Full Transcription
Thank you. Hello and welcome in everyone. I'm super excited to kick off this space and want to hear from lots of projects.
So I'm down to get started. Andrew, how about you?
I'm stoked about this. You know, look, I think it was a great idea that Aaron brought to the table about just like following kind of a model that exists in some of the other industries, but it's like, what did you get done in D-Side this week? It's a great way to bring the entire D-Side community together and connect around just,
you know, accomplishments for the week. Or I don't know, maybe even some folks will be
vulnerable enough to share like failures or, you know, just things that didn't go right. But
I think ultimately it's an encouragement to the entire space and just to give a platform for
everybody to say like, hey, this is what we
got done this week. But the format, I think, around this is going to be pretty important.
So maybe Erin, you could share with us a little bit about that.
Yes. So the structure of these, what did you get done this week, is 90 seconds per project to
only talk about what did you actually do this week? What did you
accomplish? What did you ship? Maybe if you finalize a new partnership, you can share about
that too. If you did an experiment, have new really cool test results, you can share about
that, but it's only focused on this week. It's not what did you do a month ago. It's
not what are you going to do in the future. There's a lot of other really great spaces for us to
be excited and talk about those different things, but the intention for this space is to be this
record of within the DSI ecosystem, what is everyone getting done this week?
And then also, this can be a good log for other people that might not be in DSI on the day-to-day,
but they're interested in projects here to just come in, get a quick snapshot, hear some of these
updates, and also see that traction and growth over time as well.
So it's 90 seconds per project to cover all of that.
And we're really excited to hear what everyone is up to.
Yeah.
So when we're going through and you have like, I don't know, like I think we said 20 seconds
or something like that.
Let's just use 20 seconds.
So when you're coming in and your time's almost up, I'm going to raise my hand. Okay. So when you're coming, your time's almost up.
I'm going to raise my hand.
Okay, so you can all see that my hand is up there.
That means you have 20 seconds left.
And you've got to figure out a way to wrap it up because at the buzzer, we're going to have to mute your mic.
Okay, so we don't want to have to do that to anybody.
That's not what we're here for. But also, we really want to make sure everybody
can share and jump in and just to advocate, you know, again, just that we have a great,
great space together. So, all right, Erin, I'm ready when you are.
Amazing. I know we have one request so far. And the way that will kind of flow through people is if you want to share
request to come up on stage and grab the mic uh we'll bring you up and just cycle through different
people um and then afterwards we'll have to bring you back down into the audience so we can bring
new people up on stage so if you're interested in sharing an update of what you got done this week
uh request the mic now.
And while you guys are doing that in the lower right-hand corner, the way that we amplify the DSi space, the way that we amplify this is we post about it.
And so what I thought we could do, we talked about was just provide a short summary for what was accomplished this week and then post about the space.
Provide a short summary for what was accomplished this week and then post about the space.
If we're all doing that, we're all listening and we're timing in, but I think also an opportunity
just to post about what you accomplished, what that would do is create like one single
thread where all of DSi kind of can post.
And the power of that is that you get sort of amplification, right?
You get access into other communities, other visibility,
people who come just to see what D size up to
run through your project as well.
So hit that lower right-hand corner,
post about the space,
tell us a little bit about
what you got accomplished this week.
That does, you know,
it just has a multiplying effect.
So please take an opportunity
just to be able to do that.
Cool, cool.
I guess to kick things off,
to share some things that we got done this week,
we did host a really fun space on Wednesday
called Desight Amplify.
And that was a showcase of as many projects
as we could fit originally into a three-hour block.
It ended up turning into four hours with the after hours.
And if you weren't able to make it during that time, would highly recommend going through and listening.
Because there we gave two minutes to projects slightly more time to give an overview
of what they're building update the whole ecosystem on what's being built at this high level kind of
the quick elevator pitch uh and getting people excited about what's happening in dsci um had a
really great turnout there had a lot of fun uh So I guess that's one thing that we accomplished this week.
All right.
We have a few speakers up here now.
So let's start moving in.
Omega, you were up here first.
If you want to kick things off.
Yeah, sure.
Hey, guys.
Can you hear me? Yes. Loud and clear. off. Yeah, sure. Hey guys, can you hear me?
Yes, welcome.
Loud and clear.
Okay, hey Aaron, hey Andrew.
Fantastic to meet you.
Is my 90 seconds starting now?
Yes.
You're already 20 seconds.
No, I'm just kidding.
Okay.
I'm just kidding.
Go ahead.
That's cool too.
Okay, yeah, so yeah, I'm so happy to be here.
Nice to meet you guys, GM to the whole community.
I'm from Neos.ai.
We're a new upcoming DSi platform.
And this week,
behind the scenes,
we finished the complete,
or we completed our,
the initial phase of our platform,
which is based around proof of research.
It allows researchers to submit research interest points,
which are labeled RIPs,
which the community can then delegate their NEOS tokens to
in support of these different research proposals.
And so we're really excited that we completed the first phase
of the platform there.
And I am,
this doesn't really count as this week necessarily,
but next week I'm going to be demoing
different features of the platform
for the community to see.
And I'm really excited about that.
Okay, 20 seconds left.
And yeah, one more thing.
We announced that we're going to ETH Denver.
So you can catch me to ETH Denver.
So you can catch me at ETH Denver.
And I'd be happy to meet anyone there from the D-Site community.
Thank you so much for jumping on stage, man.
Really appreciate it.
Yeah, I tried to do my best to go fast.
You did great.
You did great. That was great.
Yeah, looking forward to seeing everyone in Denver. Gianluca, I believe
you were up next, so would love to hear updates from you and Circular. Hello, happy Valentine's
Day, everybody. Great week for us. We, well, first of all, we have been participating to the amazing space of Wednesday and met a lot of fellows in the D-Sci.
We had some very good meetings with some of them.
We closed a partnership with Arculus, a company of the Visa Group.
group. They make
They make cards for payment.
cards for payment. I think you all
I think you all know.
know. And
we are
we had also
a nice organizational
meeting for an important project.
We're starting in Italy with the
top cardiology center
over there for a pilot
program. And
yeah, that's pretty much
it in terms of accomplishment. And yeah, that's pretty much it in terms of accomplishment.
And thank you again for keeping organizing these little spaces here
where we can learn from each other.
You have 30 seconds left, so I need to understand.
Did you say you Circular signed an agreement with Visa?
Yeah, yes, Arculus.
They do cold storage wallet.
Will be announced in the next few days in a press release,
but it's already official.
I mean, we already have a signed agreement.
Huge.
Yeah.
Huge.
So they are going to create a new line of cards
for digital signature for healthcare,
specifically designed for our type of projects, and then would be extended
to any other project in the space that would want to use the same technology.
Awesome.
Chandruka, thank you so much.
You're welcome, guys.
Thanks so much.
next up dr. you hi everyone and I want to keep the progress about size 16 Z in
Next up, Dr. Yu.
this week and we actually technically we are optimizing the ER agent illusion
problem suggested by the Ben Joe from pump science And in the marketing part, we actually
invite our CEO from Phila Network
to officially announcement about the Site16z
is backed by the Phila Network, Elisa OS,
and also this poor ecosystem.
Next week's plan is that Site16Z has already
sponsored the
Desai Hong Kong HK
25. So we will attend
this one and to introduce
the technology behind
the Site16Z.
Thank you. See you next week.
You got it, man.
Thank you so much. And definitely, yes, put this on your See you next week. You got it, man. Thank you so much.
And definitely, yes, put this on your calendar for next week as well.
Okay.
How many seconds are left?
You have three seconds.
Say something good.
Oh, good.
Oh, bravo.
I'm waiting for this space for five hours.
I have ready.
At 5 a.m., then'm going i'm going to sleep
okay thank you so much this is so amazing this is so amazing thank you bye-bye thank you bye-bye
wonderful uh causality let's hear some updates on your side
hello hello hello thank you erin Erin and Andrew for hosting. Good to
see some familiar faces here. Brian, Mark, Fran, Dr. Yu. I'm going to keep it short and sweet.
Bunch of things. We were at the ETH Oxford Hackathon, managed to hack a PCR machine to
cryptographically write verified results on chain. We then announced our early adopters community.
And then most recently today, we finalized plans to build out what we've been working on for a while, which is a mainframe
of pioreactor devices, which are small bioreactors on a Raspberry Pi, a massive mainframe that
can be controlled via smart contracts, allowing anyone to run results. I tweeted about it
literally like 10 minutes ago, so check it out. Peace.
Amazing. Also, side note, if anyone has links you want pinned up above, drop those in the comments
and we can add that up above like we just did here. Barrett, you have another 30 seconds. If
there's anything else? I told you I was going to be short and sweet.
So I will give my time to someone else.
Love it.
Cool.
For anyone else listening in, if you have some updates to share, request the mic and we'll bring you up on stage.
I know sometimes X is a little bit finicky.
So for context, we don't see any requests right at this moment.
I'll go through and invite a few folks to see if those go through.
Do we have someone up here now?
Hannah, Peptide DAO, would love to hear updates.
Yes. Yes. Hello, everyone. It's Hannah from Peptide DAO, would love to hear updates. Yes, hello everyone, it's Hannah from Peptide DAO.
So yeah, I love the idea of this space.
What did you get done this week?
I think it's an amazing way to track progress.
But to be short and sweet, this week we made our very first public launch of our social media.
And yeah, we made the public
announcement of peptide down which was super exciting it's great to see so many
people are interested in peptides whether that's from a disease
perspective or from a health and wellness and biohacking perspective and
we also just launched our discord so if you're not in there already it's in our
bio so please do take a look
additionally we are also taking a look at our research project roadmap and I
can't dive a double divulge too much information on that but all I'm going to
say is it's brewing in the background which is super exciting of course
peptide related research and we will be at east denver so if you're there come say hi additionally
we will um yeah take a look at our profile join our discord and give us a follow thank you so much
amazing i think so many of us will be at denver francesca i know you'll be there as well uh would
amazing i think so many of us will be at denver
love to hear updates from the orosai avanasi labs ecosystem awesome thank you everyone uh this space
is going to be kind of becoming like a d cycle working online i just uh put you guys in to listen to what's happening. Okay, so while we are preparing
for Denver, I am super excited to see you all there. We have 27th of February, the event with
RSI, and then we are going to have on the 28th another event hosted with Avinasi Labs and Supermoon.
We're bringing DeSai and longevity into new rooms.
I wanted to make sure to connect with new VCs, go-to-market strategists, marketers,
any sort of people that really don't know about DeSai
or they're still don't know, they're having listed as one of the niche in crypto.
And then we have March 2nd, which is all going to be focused on infra and longevity.
And I'm glad to have Barat and, of course, Aaron coming to speak on all our events.
And let's see.
These are mainly,
we're also preparing for Vitalist Bay,
which is going to happen between April and May.
And we will have more to share on that.
On my personal updates,
I've been working on a side project
called the Longevity Passport. I've been working on a side project called the longevity passport.
I've been bothering everyone with this for feedback.
So finally, next week, I will have an MVP to start demoing a showcase to the community.
Amazing.
You're a busy week.
You're like working on so many fronts.
It's wild. So I'm so impressed by how much
you can get get done. So awesome work. Thank you, guys. I am taking off those Saturday and Sunday.
I'm going to the hot springs to rejuvenate. You had to you had to do that to us, didn't you?
Just to make us all very jealous. Well, enjoy. Definitely unplug. And I hope that you have a wonderful time.
Zach, let's bring Zach up on the stage.
Excited to hear about Ranger, Zach.
Nice.
Cool.
Hey, my name is Zach.
I'm the founder of Mido Systems.
And we're building our first app
is called Ranger, and the concept is like Pokemon Go for real wildlife. And the idea is that any
researcher can create their own portal really easily through a Google form, and then share
that portal with their community to collect geotagged photographs of it could be wildlife it could be plants it could be
meteors it could be anything um but i have a personal interest in ecology and wildlife um
and so the main thing well yeah eight days ago i launched publicly an mvp and over the past week
it's been various optimizations um for the product And then over the past couple of days, I've emailed over 100 ecologists.
That was my week.
Great work, man.
It's awesome.
Great to see you take off and connecting.
And I mean, that's the hard work of the day-to-day of the selected grind and connecting with people.
You got it.
Awesome. Awesome.
Awesome.
Great job.
All right, Jeff, why don't you take the floor?
Yeah, I appreciate it, guys.
So a quick one, I'll get some updates from Research Hub Foundation side of things.
So we've a few things in the works.
We've been setting up some scripts that are helping us automate some outreach out to authors.
It's an effort to essentially onboard more peer reviewers to our platform,
but also drive some submissions into the Research Hub journal.
And in that, we're kind of able to track a few things.
And we had a hot jar session where we
can kind of like walk through the user journey where they land what are things that they have
been clicking on or like looking at and kind of helping that inform us on how we can adjust
product another one is we'll be at east denver as well too if anyone hasn't checked it out we'll
have an event called the roast of desai and it's just going to be kind of like a public like Q&A session where people can come and ask any like hard hitting
questions to some of the Desai projects. And, you know, we'll have like critical assessment of like
where everything's at. We can disprove stuff if people have concerns, maybe their concerns are
valid. And so we kind of have a nice kind of clear, transparent, open platform to do that.
We kind of have a nice kind of clear, transparent, open platform to do that.
And then we've developed a peer reviewer like data dashboard internally with some like derivative calculations and metrics to help us kind of, you know, structure all of the peer review data that's coming into the platform.
We've MVP'd some AI tools around like kind of editor peer review services and summarizing tools.
tools around like kind of editor peer review services and summarizing tools and then finally
we're have been engaging with a team i'd highly recommend it actually for any of the crypto
projects here called endowment spelled with dao for dao and we're looking to integrate with them
they have like a pretty complete on-chain solution for like tax exemptions. If you want to donate with any crypto,
they'll kind of have these custom contracts
that can swap the token into USDC
and then donate it to any 501c3 that might be out there.
So if you're in the game of getting donations in
and you want to make sure those donations are still tax exempt,
would highly recommend Endowment.
We've had a great kind of initial communication with them.
Amazing.
Love how this can also be a space for other people to find different resources.
So hadn't heard of them before.
So that's super awesome plug and amazing updates as always.
Super awesome plug and amazing updates as always.
Thank you, Jeff.
I know I see a couple other projects down below that I personally would love to hear updates from.
So if any of you are able to speak right now, I would love to hear from you guys as well.
I think Lilypad would be great to hear from.
We haven't necessarily heard from them.
Brian, I know you're doing some work.
And Sean, I know you're doing some important stuff too.
Would love to hear from you guys if you want to request.
We will definitely, would love to bring you on.
I was just on a space just before this with the Kirtopia DAO, which just launched this week.
Ethan, and he was given an update.
Um, and so, I mean, obviously his accomplishment would have been, uh, that they launched this
week, which is like a big deal. Uh, but, uh, part of the, uh, bio, uh, DAO system, but man, I just
like such a cool, uh, story about the way that that came to be and the platform and basically building a marketplace
around curing rare diseases. And I just, I'm just so excited about that. So he said he's going to
jump in at some point here. So hopefully he also comes, but was a part of what I was up to today
as well. All right, Sean, awesome. So glad that you, you jumped on. Would love to hear about your week.
Excellent.
Thank you for having these forums.
That one the other day was awesome.
This one is great.
First, a shout out to Sci16Z because I've been on a couple of the dialogues that they've been having as well.
And so very exciting to see what's happening in this community.
I've been part of trying to bring blockchain to
life sciences since about 2016. I'm a former federal researcher and policy person who moved
into tech about seven years ago. This week, what I got done for DSci is I was invited to submit a
paper on sort of a grand challenge for how emerging tech can work its way into biomedical sciences
and systems sciences and systems
biology and systems medicine. And I just submitted that today and I was able to work D-Sci in there
as a solution to go out more to a traditional science audience because I think we need to
convert a lot of the Trad-Sci people. So that's my news for the week. Keep doing great things.
Great job, man. Thank you so much for participating. And definitely,
as you publish stuff or as things come up, man, we just let please let us know DM us love to be
able to share your work with the whole community and get everybody on there. So again, if you want
to join and speak, just please request and we will add you on. So I just saw tracked bio joined. So
I'd love to hear about their week and things like that. So, um, but that's great. Brian, um, love to hear what you did this week.
Awesome. Thanks guys. Thanks for hosting these sessions. These are fantastic. Um,
I saw a screenshot that Andrew Kieberman joined on a year. Is that correct?
Yeah. I, there was someone speaking when he, and I was not able to pay attention anymore.
I was so excited.
Oh, it's so cool.
I know.
Yeah, he's starting to, he responded or liked one of my tweets about these sites, so hopefully
we can hook him in.
Amazing.
Great job.
Anyway, hi, everybody.
I'm with Cerebrum Dow, focused on neuroscience and
neurodegeneration, accelerating solutions and preventatives. A lot going on with us.
Our Percepta, the CLAW token, it's IPT that's out, our human trial. So we got a human trial,
double-blinded placebo-controlled trial on a natural product that's been in the market with a huge safety profile for 10 years.
It's, I believe, going to be underway in a few weeks.
We should have data we're expecting in maybe six months or so, maybe sooner.
So that could be a real fantastic advancement for protective prophylactic against neurodegeneration and inflammation.
protective prophylactic against neurodegeneration inflammation.
We raised money into the MITY token, MITY, for fission bio around mitochondrial dysfunction.
We just incorporated that biotech company to do the research, and the research is already
well underway.
Super exciting on that.
We're going to list the token, I think, sometime next week on Uniswap.
I've been out this week with BoostBC, who's one of our early supporters at a Founders Summit in California.
So a lot of great networking here and even getting ourselves some exposure and overall DSAI exposure in Asia now as well through some relationships here. We're likely to be doing
an OTC sale, so we're going to be doing a lot of VC outreach and driving some awareness for DSI
with that over the next month or two. And so we've got maybe about a dozen parties we're going to be
reaching out to. And I'm going to be down in austin and dallas later
this month at a brain health summit in dallas with the university of texas center for brain health
but in austin on the 24th to 25th we're trying to organize the crypto meetup with the austin crypto
community and have it be b-side themed so hoping to get some traction there as well. A lot of other stuff going on. Just been really exciting time.
And despite the,
you know,
tokens downturn for DSI,
I'm sure we're going to be coming roaring back at some point later this
year.
Absolutely.
There is,
there is no doubt.
I have a whole theory on that.
Sweet.
All right.
Well,
we can talk about that.
Yeah.
But definitely. And as you, as you go out for funding, if I, well we can talk about that yeah uh but uh definitely and as you uh as
you go out for funding if i if we can you know as the alliance if we can help several vcs are
part of the alliance and would be happy to facilitate uh introductions amazing yeah yeah
let us know that works cool thank you so much, Brian. And I see Tracked Bio has made it.
Would love to hear what you accomplished this week.
Awesome. Thank you guys so much.
And great to be here again, Andrew and Aaron.
So, yeah, this week we're, you know, there's some,
can't be announced yet,
but we're setting up some new partnerships
in the D-Size space in particular.
So these are in the works and hope to announce those soon.
And we had the rodeo today with Palm Science.
I'm not sure who was able to attend, but it was also another nice session for the rotor rod testing in mice, live streamed.
nice session for the rotor rod testing and mice live streamed.
And we've also been working on recruiting some new people.
So this is in the works and also looking for funding.
So this is also in the works.
So lots of different developments and also some new AI tools we're working on
that we hope to release soon.
So a lot of stuff in the works, but hope to announce them soon.
That's great, man. Hey, so
did any of those projects that
you connected with, did any of those come from
speaking at the
most recent space
or did you make any new connections from
that or were those already pre-existing?
Yeah, yeah. Some of, I mean,
many were pre-existing, but there were some from the
space. So, I mean, it's a really nice platform you guys have set up. So, I really much appreciate there. Yeah, it's a really nice exposure. paid for doing this, right? We're just doing this because we love the space and we want to see the space elevated. And so one of the ways that we get paid is by hearing feedback that says like,
hey, this was valuable and this contributed to us. So we put a checkbox for that one. So I'm just
excited about that. Yeah, absolutely. It definitely has. So much appreciated. I think it makes it
really cohesive for everyone to meet each other here. So much appreciated.
Absolutely.
Great.
Thanks, Michael, for joining us.
Thanks, Mark.
I know I see a couple more folks that have joined.
If you have just joined in the past few minutes, the structure of this space is each project gets 90 seconds to share what they got done this week.
Whatever you might have accomplished.
Maybe you shipped something.
Maybe you launched something.
Signed a new agreement.
Signed a new partnership.
Posted the announcement for an upcoming event.
But really focused on what did you actually accomplish.
So for anyone listening in, just request the mic and we'll be bringing you up on stage.
If you also have a post to share about with it, um, put that in the replies down below
and we can get, get that pinned up above as well.
Uh, just a couple housekeeping things because I, I know I see a couple more projects I've
joined.
That's awesome.
No, thank you for, we got to keep it going.
So that's great.
Microsoft would love to catch up with you
and hear about what you've got going on.
So please request, would love to catch up with you.
And also Bright Future, if you want to chime in,
I know you're very active in the space
and doing a bunch of stuff.
So I would welcome that opportunity. So we mentioned, I just mentioned on that last
interaction with Brian about the downturn, you mentioned, you know, like funding is kind of
taking a little bit of a turn. And here's what I'm seeing across the entire space. And so just
for reference, like, I i mean i'm speaking to
something like 30 projects a week right now maybe even more in some some cases that sometimes um
trying to understand sort of the the economics and tokenomics of all that's happening and let
me just say really i'll just take my 90 seconds here really quickly but the the market is is
shifting and when i say market i mean like like the entire crypto space, like blockchain space.
And it's because four years ago, we were placed under this very, very difficult regulatory
environment that anyone operating in crypto was declared essentially a criminal and an outlaw.
And what this did was kept real businesses and valid businesses from moving into the space.
And it created an environment where the only ones existing were, for a large part, right,
those who were actively engaged in the pump and dump schemes that existed in, we now call memes,
and embrace them heartily. But what's happened this with the radical shift in the regulatory environment, we've moved into a new era where we're suddenly, you know, the desire or the need for means is is is dropping.
And what's happening is you're seeing a massive shift of real businesses looking for new opportunities and new ways to grow their businesses and grow funding and support and
things like that. And it's D-PIN and it's D-Sci that are leading the way, really. It's these two
elements that are ultimately opening those doors. And so what I'm super excited about and why the
D-Sci space is so exciting and why, Brian, I believe that we're just at the very, very
crest of something much, much more significant and positive is that you're
seeing all of the attention start to turn. You're seeing these massive institutions. You're seeing
large pharma companies. They're all aware of Desai and they're all looking to say, to see how
this space is going to support and grow and begin to start this like funding mechanism.
What I think is amazing, and we talked about on Kirtopia, is the opportunity to actually build real communities. Those communities
have a vested interest in the success of the project. That's sort of the beauty and the hope.
And now that that is placed within a regulatory framework that makes that legal and incentivizes
that, I think we're just at the very beginning stages of like this, this, the fruit from from all of those changes starting to come to fruition. VCs are turning their attention to DeSci. In the last week, we saw, you know, say we saw say announced a $65 million fund. Just in the last week, they appointed a new head of DeSci. We saw the Binance chain list DeSci as the number one narrative of 2025. We saw the Solana Foundation for the first
time recognize DSI and post about DSI. We're seeing Arbitrum. We're seeing Avalanche. We're
seeing all the foundations starting to wake up and say, okay, this is something we're going to
need to do. And they're going to start putting resources behind. As those resources come,
institutions will follow. And now we have a regulatory environment which encourages this.
And I think we're on the cusp of some really great things.
Anyways, there you go.
I went way too long.
Apologize.
But let's move on.
Sorry.
I mean, those are all really good comments and updates in the ecosystem.
But we do have a couple more speakers up here.
Microsoft, I think you might have gotten up here first, so we'd love to hear updates from your end. Hi, this is Morgan
at Microsoft. I'm just leaving the BoostVC Founders Summit here in Silicon Valley, And it was a great week of a lot of young, inspiring companies. A few of
them are DAOs, underneath BioProtocol, and a couple interesting collaborations we found up
there. So what we're doing is we're building what some people call the D-PIN, but for mycology,
We're building what some people call the D-PIN, but for mycology, physical devices in the environment to monitor fungus in the ground and fungus in the air and all the other environmental aspects around nature.
noticed being on the ground is that there's a lot of VC interest in going into the crypto space,
especially because of DeSci. I think the whole idea of having DeFi and DeSci being self-sustained
without institutional money is kind of shifting a little bit, where, as an example, Boost is a big advocate for Desai.
And they just invested in our company in the last three months because we're building Desai-based
hardware. And one of our side projects is the MycoDAO, which BioProtocol has put in their new
cohort. And so I'm seeing a little bit of a dualism of VC
and crypto decentralized funding going for the industry
that we're focused on.
So it's kind of good to see a balance there.
And we just showed off some of our hardware.
And I have a bunch of posts on my personal page,
Nodefather and Microsoft's page that maybe we could share
with you guys so you could see some of the cool things we're working on. Yeah, that'd be awesome.
Definitely whenever you can just tag us and we will definitely share those across the space. So
really appreciate that. Yeah, and thanks for letting us chat. We're about like a mile away
from the Computer History Museum here
in Silicon Valley and we're going to go check out some of the ancient computers and remember our
roots. Awesome, sounds awesome. Morgan, thank you so much for joining us this evening and
hope you have a wonderful time and tell Adam Draper to come and fund all of our great projects, okay?
tell Adam Draper to come and fund all of our great projects. Okay.
Yeah. Yeah. No. And he's, he's great. And he was very,
he's very amped about DSI and he was promoting a lot of DSI t-shirts that
Boost is making, you know, so, um, uh,
short academia was, was said a million times this week, uh, you know,
so, um, I think,
I think we're in a good position because to have, you know, in the crypto world, we don't need validity from bankers and VCs.
But to have it is a good measurement of success or potential.
So it's always good to see that, you know.
Awesome. Thank you so much.
As as Aaron said, if you're interested in giving an update, just request the mic.
We will get you on stage and have 90 seconds to give us an update on what you did this week in crypto.
And just pretty simple.
After we know when you have a few minutes left or a few seconds left, I'll raise my hand and that will give you a cue to wrap it up.
So Enfai, would love to hear from you about what you did this week in Desai.
GM, GM, guys.
I definitely planned a few spaces around DSi,
and I was planning to,
I was actually listening to space you both were organized.
And yeah, just learning as much as I can.
I didn't particularly,
I wouldn't say I did a lot in D-Sci, D-Sci,
but yeah, you know, just learning and learning. That's what I did.
Awesome. That is definitely the, that's the key. That's the stage that we're at, I think,
for all of us, is heads down, learning, building. And that's why I think these spaces have been so effective over the last couple of weeks.
I know, Erin, you're really involved in that education piece of Desai.
Is there anything on that side that you'd like to add or jump in on?
Yeah.
So through Muse Matrix, we recently posted an announcement for anyone,
especially in Mexico and Puebla, we have cohort
three, which will be in person at a university there. So applications for that are open as well
as the virtual cohort too. So if you know someone who might be interested in DSi, but they haven't
yet fully stepped into the space space maybe they want a little
bit of guidance with that and i know everyone here is super busy that's where muse matrix is
meant to kind of fill in that gap and applications for that next cohort are open awesome that's great
pure air we got to get you on the stage request Request to speak. I've sent you an invite, but X is, you know, being X. So we'd love to hear from you, though. I know you've had a great week, so I would love to hear some feedback from you.
be transparent with our audience here. We, we did this as kind of an experiment, right? Like we were
just trying to think, is this something that could work? What is your, what do you think?
What's your feedback on how this went? I mean, we're 40 minutes in and we haven't had to fill
that much air and the air that we have had to fill might've been because Twitter didn't send
the speaker request through. So, uh, I think this is great for the first space.
We just posted about it yesterday. All of these updates are incredible. And I think being able
to continuously hear this from one another will just reinforce that, okay, what we're working on
is really important stuff and to just keep going, as well as open up some more doors for those collaborations to help accelerate it further.
So I'll be back here next week and happy to host this again and hope you all join in then.
But what are your thoughts, Andrew?
Yeah, no, I agree.
I think it's great.
Let me just say this again.
Pure air.
If you're I just saw you, you just post you just put on 100 request request to speak i'd love to get you on the stage and hear from you but um
i think i got a dm from them that they aren't able to speak right now so for anyone else that's in
that same boat uh drop your update in like a reshare of this space saying like this is what
i accomplished this week I just posted
for my personal account saying what we got done which was a super fun dc amplify space on Wednesday
did a bunch of other stuff too but kind of want to funnel people back into hearing uh about all
these updates from different projects and what the whole dcci ecosystem is about. So that's what I chose for my main update to share out.
But yeah, just click the share button,
share what your update this week of what you got done is.
And then everyone in DeSci as well as outside of DeSci
can just scroll through and see, oh, like this space is doing stuff.
Like we're legitimately doing
incredible stuff. And I think this is, I mean, so to the listeners that are here,
you guys can all put it like a thumbs up or 100 or a heart or something like that.
But just give me, just give us a little feedback from that perspective of like,
if you think this is something that was worth doing and something that you would be interested
in doing again. Now, like Aaron said, we literally yesterday were like, do you think we should do this? Like,
yeah, let's try it. And so we just picked like today to do it. So we had, we had whatever,
24 hours, not even just to put a couple of tweets out and promote it. I think if we said, Hey, look,
we're going to do this on Friday afternoons, we're going to get the DCI community together
and just like share about these highlights. I think it's a really it's a unique format for this space.
And I think it's really effective and just sort of getting a rundown.
And honestly, I've been like energized by this, by hearing the stuff that's happening, new partnerships.
I mean, like Visa coming into Desai.
I mean, there's some really like amazing things.
Right. So anyways, there's some really like amazing things, right? So anyways, excited
about that. And so I think that there's an energy that can be that can be created here and passed
passed on so that as people go into their weekend, they can leave, you know, sort of energized that
that's I don't know, that's my like, my utopian view of that might be biased, though. So maybe
on the count of three, either put like a thumbs a thumbs up, a heart, or a thumbs down if you think we should keep doing this or not keep doing it.
Let us know.
Any data on if we should keep going or not.
Oh, man.
No reactions.
It's quiet.
We got to cancel it.
The data has spoken.
The data.
This is an objective survey.
We got a couple of thumbs up there and a heart here.
Okay.
I think there's a lag.
We're not planning for the lag.
Yes.
We were not planning for the lag.
Here comes the lag data.
Good point.
Good point.
That makes me feel a little bit better yes yes yes okay cool very cool
uh this is great good i think we we will definitely plan on doing another one next friday
uh and so so definitely like stick around for that and you know share that and let's try and
see if we can't build this up and continue to see more groups participate and be energized by what's happening in DSi.
Also, invite your other DSi founder friends, other core team friends to come share next week and to just be able to keep kind of growing this.
keep kind of growing this and this space the design for it was um copied after ai 16z
dow they have a space like this every week and so if there are other elements you think should
be added in we can make this our own uh so just reach out to us and we can make it what dsai wants
what dsai needs and it's a space for all of us.
I have to say before we go,
super jealous of the guys who were at the Boost VC conference.
Same.
So jealous.
I saw a few pictures and it seems like a great time.
I did too.
I know.
I was very jealous about that.
But anyways, glad that they were willing to come and to chime in and participate.
Yes. about that. But anyways, glad that they were willing to come and to chime in and participate. Yes, so much appreciation and really appreciate you all doing this experiment with us.
We'll be back next week, Friday. We hope to see you again there with even more cool updates and
we'll be on more spaces in the meantime as well. Awesome. Thanks, Erin. Have a great weekend.
Thank you, everyone. Bye.
