Full Transcription
We are waiting for a couple of more minutes before other people come.
I've invited you to co-host, I don't know if you can hear me.
Yeah, you were not able to hear me.
Hey.
Hey guys, what's up?
Can you hear me?
Yep.
Awesome.
Yeah, I'm currently in my car, I need some minutes to come back home.
But how are you?
Everything's fine?
I'm doing great.
I'm doing great.
I'm doing great.
I'm doing great.
I'm doing great.
I'm doing great.
Calvin Gillis so pretty great and have you seen that the results of Chinese
round sorry what was your question which results
Chinese round and not yet not yet we have we have 250 oh sorry yeah to two
thousand five hundred dollars maximum matching 20% of the matching time okay
very nice very cool great great job guys I'm happy
yep so I've briefly talked about green pill and fundraising they they want a
green pill to be more focused on our communities not only fundraising and one
thing one idea that I have in mind maybe it makes sense to run a small round as
soon as possible to have an impact the first round of green pill was like 5k
and we can we have almost 3k in Treasury so maybe it makes sense to run a smaller
round as soon as possible to have results as soon as possible and to be able to
show something because that's the things that kind of flows us down or maybe it
makes sense to wait for for a while and get more money obviously we will be able
to raise more money it just takes some time
yeah I mean we can we can do both we can do both I think if we have a critical mass for the grantee side we can kickstart like a very small private round where we say look we're gonna just make a community check if more people are interested in supporting you so then we can make like a small grants round with the money we have available
yeah the goal should be let's do it with 1000 just the check for example just a just a branding marketing aspect we can do this for a week or so or two weeks yeah but but really advocate that this is not for fundraising especially but for giving away little money and showing the community readiness for for each of the
of the single projects and establishing internal operations I think it's important as well so 1000 I think it's perfect let's do it in the next couple of weeks let's let's reach everyone who will be involved privately I'm talking about grantees and other people cool cool I love the idea let's discuss with the with the community
and yeah let's get a couple of weeks I think it's it would be cool just we need that experience
yeah you know I'm home in two minutes I can then also create a basic LOI for us for the grantees so that we can send it around and onboard them and say that okay if you have this LOI with us we can better argue in front of sponsors
sponsors and you will be 100% in the round as one grantee and then also advocate like okay this is not about money but it's about building a community getting traction in so that you are also in a better position in front of your potential investor stuff like that but I also had a had a chat with Sarah exactly about this topic because for sure I mean we can we can kind of be be not independent and go with big investor
big investors or apply for other DAOs and and and get some money in but still the challenges remain that you have the best reality check if you go out and talk with your with your customers talk with your target group and so it's all starting with community so we should also do the same and support the people in building community and co-marketing
regarding community actually I've seen a nice diagram I do not remember where but there are several options and community is just one of the option depending on the resources
but with respect to resources that we have right now I think it's the right way however if or once we have more resources we'll be able to change the strategy but yeah for sure right now I really
amaze by the idea of a smaller round as soon as it possible and let's get all the grantees because you know just having a screenshot of all the grantees that would matter a lot and that's the impact like a real impact and of
impact like a real impact and of course let's promote it as a smaller better round
uh or not even better round it's not even better round it's a private alpha round i'd say something
like that thank you exactly i love it cool cool guys yeah we we got a we got a small win i would
say a small big win for me i mean at least have the resource for the for the chinese round have
some next plans awesome man i think now we yeah we just need to the website straight adam adam really
needs to do the job man i cannot wait sorry for interruption but that's okay i mean that's okay
that we had that slow down uh now uh we by the way we also have to get the money so maybe um you know
we still do not have the money and maybe we won't be able to run the routes in a couple of weeks
we do not know when the payouts would happen i expect that it will happen next week so maybe
let's wait for a week and but let's start preparing for that smaller round without uh the date and maybe
do temperature check alloway and all the necessary stuff and in a week let's let's review what we have
uh hopefully we will have the money on the account and yeah depending on that we'll be able to make a
decision and i'm sure that both adam and red uh they'll become much more involved once a day
receive the good news i mean that's a real yeah in real money that's amazing maybe not so big for
once but like two weeks sorry two months even less than two months the project like officially started
11 months so yeah yeah you're right and we really achieved something in this short period of time
without any support at all right it was all from from us um but yeah so i i also i just received
i just received really like one minute ago all the information for uh from this venture builder this
dow builder uh who offered the 250 to 500k investment if we make an investment dow that is focused on
ecosystem growth for space dows called hydra uh so i will continue the chat with them and understand the
processes and our chances of of success if we want to raise 500k for example so then there's so man i mean
then we can make 20 rounds okay this is more than enough uh to make huge waves um and besides that i will
also have a call in one hour in less than one hour with uh with uh our friends from lunagistics um because
logan um i mean we want to unite and onboard more and more people uh we still have the community groups on
on whatsapp the web free space alpha uh and also our community groups on telegram and he's very open
to support us um again he said if we want to do something related to ai and robotics uh he's the first
one uh to propose this also to his stakeholders with the companies that he's involved in right now so
we also have the opportunity to get some money in there so what do you want me to uh to tell him
i mean i i can explain to him the situation that we have the matching pool now the matching uh funds
now we receive them we have like two two and a half k also we want to start a small uh pre-alpha round
with the people we already have committed and then make a bigger round so do you want me to communicate
it like that so that we can get money in by end of the year minimum 25k or so and then like for beginning
of next year with the hydra thing or how do we want to move forward uh well first of all i bet it
would make sense to focus on one simple idea that uh the space qf is one of the unique initiatives in
the whole uh decentralized space exploration projects because of a simple reason that uh we have
uh cash flow uh in two months and uh uh it's not a question that the initiative is already working
it's already working now the only question is the speed of the initiative
uh can you hear me yes i'm still there yeah yeah so i think that should be the main point
that it's already working we already have money and of course we will raise more money this time
so uh i think it's a huge proof um and yeah uh from that perspective um definitely it would be great
to collaborate and uh regarding investment though i really love the idea um we need from my perspective
it would be great to check um how it works to have the several cases how it works i'm really interested
in the structure of uh uh give us uh filecoin ipfs how they are really in protocol labs um and
another example that i have in my mind is one inch because the one inch wallet they actually have several
entities and one of the entities is one inch dow
so definitely highly like the idea of having an investment down um the main question right now is how
we structure it and as it will be an investment there has to be clear things related to profit and
uh just right now i realize that maybe it's not uh the right way to move so because how how can we expect
profit from from those initiatives so we expect uh um ecosystem grows we expect regenerative approach
uh that projects will support others so we have to think of it well we have to think of it but
yeah definitely the main point is that the initiative is here it's working we made a crazy thing in the
lab in two months we received the money oh sorry i've been talking for a long time uh hey scarlet uh
many of the mic is yours and i've invited scarlet to speak yeah i'm i'm super glad that scarlet also
here shout out to you scarlet uh i saw your pick in our uh in our in our whatsapp group with uh kevin
so maybe you can also jump on here and uh tell us a little bit more about your experiences um we are
discussing right now like the next steps um how we can support more people who also have an interest
in blockchain in space we did this before with dspace qf we have a small win a small big win
wait wait wait let's wait till she connects sorry oh yeah request to speak i i approved
uh hey scarlet can you hear me there we go yes hi everybody how you doing so wonderful to uh be here
in this chat and so much is happening in such a couple days it's unbelievable super excited
nice good to have you how are you everything's fine yes yes we just spent um i'm still in new york
uh we spent a whole week uh here in new york uh we're we're doing main nets um
anga the united nations uh climate week uh earth shots and there was a a big announcement with the
space tech community as well you know so there's been a lot of activations happening here in new york
in this past week um you know everybody from elon musk was here to jeff basil to gary shapiel it's
just really exciting to see the tech uh ecosystem uh working with the impact space really super exciting
nice yeah pretty pretty glad to hear that you're so active and uh all these different ecosystems as
well for us it's about building bridges and seeing how we can yeah save the world and bring
humanity forward right i mean uh impact impact impact and uh space tech and then uh support the people
on the ground who do the actual work um i love it um i hope you met a lot of great people and uh
great great thoughts and stuff like that yeah was it successful uh i'm a stronger believer about the
the new space economy bringing more tech transfer so if we're trying to resolve some of the world's biggest
problem it's going to come from uh tech transfer so you know this has been one of my missions to talk
about how this new space economy is going to help accelerate a lot this tech transfer that's happening
down here on earth in terms of the impact so the marketing opportunity is enormous because it's more
it's becoming more democratized um which is really much the subject matter of this topic
um as more people get into the space that's what i'm starting to understand that there's no more
new market segments uh segments are being created so that's what's what's happening now it's just
raising people's consciousness that this is even happening
definitely definitely and people are coming to us now because they see like we had a i mean we had all
this stuff happening already like six to eight years ago and now it's like yeah i would say a revival of
the whole ecosystem especially after covert people now see that we can actually realign the value that
we create for the space industry with the tools we have available not right now also in the blockchain
space so i'm yeah very very excited about that and uh how how has it been with your um hackathon i can
also give you a quick overview about what what we're discussing here what's in the pipeline and
what our next steps are because i was also like two and a half weeks in berlin and met a lot of great
folks but yeah maybe quick summary about uh about your uh upcoming projects with a bit base as well
if you want to share for sure yeah absolutely um so we just finished um in new york um yeah i got to meet
kevin from gitcoin he's actually going back to gitcoin um so there's a lot of more of the refi ecosystem going
into uh more he's democratizing um the the the quadratic funding now so more people can learn
how to do what he did um you know this is super exciting uh we're working on you know as for those
who don't know i i'm a scholar resident at university florida and we created the first blockchain research
lab so more specifically the research aspect to this so decide this base is something that uh
they're very bullish um so you know living in florida i have such a great opportunity to meet
a lot of people from the new space ecosystem um so there are more students you know grasping into
understanding of the intersection of blockchain and new space economy we have leva leva is a an
innovation center here in boca and of course what's happening in orlando for don't those who know is
actually uh the meta center is a innovation center specifically for web3 but that's where you're
going to see all the airspace and new space economy there so a lot is happening you know it's just um
these conversion points is happening uh right now i'm going to be part of emers global that's happening
in october and for those who know emers global and synapse actually unify on the meta center ecosystem
and so who i've been working with is actually john from unity and unity he is also leading the airspace
industry and they're trying to bring more in the new space economy as well so there's a lot of overlap
there's a lot of people from the space industry going to this uh conference in october uh in october
really cool and so you know this is kind of like that conversion point we always talk about these hype
cycles right so right now we're running like an ai hype cycle but uh when you're in the ecosystem you
kind of see certain trends coming but definitely the new space economy trend is coming probably like
next year really uh when you start hearing more of these launches um and and that the you know the
space is democratized but this only came in efforts when when people you know have a personal
attachment to a space so uh that's what seems to be happening right now um so that it's it's it's
it's coming into people's consciousness it's just a you know it's it's it's trendy right now it's the
ai hype you know last year was all the metaverse and the year before was blockchain so we're going
through these hype cycles um and i'm pretty sure the space economy is going to be next year we're in
the 2025 when we actually put the first woman in the moon so you definitely going to see that hype
cycle coming um but florida is preparing itself it's it's converging so i'm really exciting um time and
and i'm definitely seeing a lot more in that intersection of blockchain and uh and in the new
space economy uh more projects are being embraced uh by nasa using blockchain technology so you know we
even see um from the from the government sector that they're going to those uh aspects so really
cool uh opportunities what does this look like for us of course you know it's getting people to be more
bullish and build on uh these type of industries you know like how blockchain can help hackers develop
new type of technology we're talking about like for instance iffs how to decentralize nodes and so forth
we're creating acute sets on the moon you know that's being being developed right now with blockchain so
you know we're we're building whole infrastructure from the lunar economy is really open up and new
opportunities there as well so you know plenty opportunities so these are the type of uh
questions research the university floor is trying to understand us well you know like how does uh
what does this decentralized space look like or using blockchain technology um so yeah we're creating a
a hackathon in december in miami to really get more tie-ins um and to understand that intercession and see
um some of the use cases that come out of it we're very early stages of as you know this this intersection
is very relatively new um but it's an exciting one because there's a lot of use cases on this um so
awesome scarlet yeah thank you very much i i hope by the way you can still hear me i have like an
unstable connection here um but yeah you're right we have different hype cycles um i also hope that we
aim for the moonshot and go in long term with the space economy i mean we are building out infrastructure
and new economic molds how to achieve this how to lower the barriers of entry and kind of
uh jump around the gatekeepers um for space so this is super important and yeah i mean i i remember
that we we had a chat about the dsci hackathon with the university florida also um i i uh recommended to
you to also approach the university belgrade um did you do this scarlet were there were there more talks
um yeah absolutely i mean that's the idea uh to include more university students uh involved and
present these projects so this is definitely something well aligned you know it's about uh
democratizing um these type of initiatives you know it's just that we're still in the early phase
but definitely you know wanna it's not just necessarily uh you know south florida it's all universities
right so getting the students involved developing new products um and just creating that framework for
for the institutions really uh you know it's um it uf digfully already had a big uh aerospace and space
tech um education so they that's what's being presented right now it's a use case of how this
is uh more on the research side and how that looks like uh but we're still early in the last stages so
it really does take more democratized way of you know how do you get people interested how you get
students interested in these i think the harkathon really served these purposes um you know kind of
percent there wasn't much going on in eighth new york here in terms of space um you know i think it's still
too early that's really my indicator was there a lot more uh devs interested i think most right now
everybody's doing ai the intersection of ai and blockchain but uh that being said it it can be that
next year there might be more interest in uh the new space economy so um i think it's that there's a lot
of opportunity more rooms there um that could be uh offered yeah i mean some some things i want to
share with you uh yeah ai is heating up right now um a lot of fresh capital flowing into this same by
the way also with dsai dsai is also heating up i think we are heading towards the end game where it's
about scaling uh up all the projects and onboarding massive amounts of scientists into uh all the different
frameworks and economic models that we build out here by the way uh the team and i i mean we were
behind dspace chef for sure we were also thinking about added value when it comes to um making these
quadratic funding rounds uh with gitcoins grand stack and what can we offer beside that and obviously
we also came to the conclusion that a hackathon is a great a great mode where we can just plug in
uh the qf funding round and give community the opportunity um to fund what they want to support
so it's not only about getting a little bit of money so that you can have a two or three more
month runway for your project but it's also about like a temperature temperature check um how the
community members um think about the projects that apply right so then we can also better understand what
what is the short term maybe also commercially viable research uh on or or initiatives that
we can push forward and what is like more for the long run um and this is something that i also want
to offer you let's definitely continue the chat here uh i already offered you my help um for the hackathon
and stuff like that and with dspaceqf we are also in a way better position than uh i i described it like
back then um we i mean we we also had some small wins rod announced it um rod is behind dspaceqf right
now thanks for managing this as a host here um same with paul and same with uh adam and and red as
well who are not here with us today but we we have a small win with the good congrats that we uh have
like a little money available two and a half to three k um we are also in touch with meaningful
investors ranging from ens foundation um the ethereum foundation to also different dow builders
and corporate investors who have an interest in um supporting and uh and uh distributing um funds
via quadratic funding in a more democratized way so this is going into a very good direction and
hopefully we can make a pre-alpha launch with the grantees we already have with like a very very small
matching pool um and then also maybe support you with the hackathon uh so that we can make a funding
round dedicated to the the design hackathon that you're organizing with the university of florida
and we can bring more people in i mean we have warm contacts um also at the university of belgrade
they already have a commitment to support decentralized science so i think it's a good way to connect the
dots and then re-funnel uh the value proposition also for space projects so hopefully by q1 of next
year uh we will have a steady flow of uh funds incoming so that we can create more of these
quadratic funding rounds um yeah and this is where i'm very excited about but it's about gaining critical
mass finding grantees build out community and then giving uh giving the the public the opportunity
to decide okay if this community is is ready now to lift off i would say but uh we have very
positive signs not only from the dspace the daos so the space daos that are committed to receive some
funds uh also the ogs who are there for six to eight years before our time before my time uh and also in
the design realm i mean everyone who is interested in biotechnology uh and uh and and decentralized science
they know about us uh their eyes are pointed towards us and they also want to send uh probes up in space
and this is what i'm preparing for so there are very promising projects also more mature ones with
already token sale with more liquidity uh like cryo dow or valley dow we have a focus on the synthetic
biology and cryogenics and this is definitely also applicable for space flight so yeah i see a lot of
things flowing to us right now it's just about how can we connect the dots in the best possible way so
that we can send out the right signal to actually onboard more and more and more and more people
um towards this movement but yeah very interesting stuff scarlet and and thanks for sharing again
yeah absolutely you know it's funny i've i've been in the space for so long that you know i could tell
um you know what things are gonna be very trendy um and and you know we're very early what i will say
but it's definitely a market segment that is growing it's just that we're we're in the first quarter
right so we're just starting out but it's really picking up interest as poor people start hearing about
this um there's going to be more interest but it really does come down to how do you scale this up
showing use cases put into into the hands of the users through hackathons and workshops and creating
these panels and awareness um and then unified because this is exactly what the space community
wants anyways they want more democratizing and showing the use cases so i think this is a very good
use case uh where you know i'm trying to also amplify the voices what's happening here block between
that blockchain and new space economy is still early it's not well understood um in the space community
just yet and uh yeah it's it's it's always very humbling to be in the space because you know we're
definitely in the pioneering stage um which means very exciting but funding there are i'm i'm here like
uh at the aerospace and like whoa man we need more community please please you know here's here's a lot
of funding um you know but you know that intersection of blockchain and the new space is
not as understood so i have to like break it down what it is and how the use case is this associated
with you know let's say a cryptocurrency because that's the myth um and then actually showing look
this can be applied to many use cases um that's been my um a onboarding process to to a lot of what we're
working on in order in order to help support the the community um and for for me at least it's been
ongoing since 2021 um you know getting people to understand this um you know i'm trying to put this
also on the meta center so that's the innovation hub that's what i'm working on in orlando and because
those who don't know orlando is the simulation capital of the world and uh yes so they are definitely
into this space and of course that's why unity is there and that's why we you know working with
nvidia um so they they are they're getting but there's you know only one of me right now trying
to show these use cases of blockchain um and that intersection so you know getting more in the hands
of user creating these hackathons creating more community adoption uh will be you know that's uh
that snowball effect that's that's coming um you know we're we're just still very early uh in those
stages but before i uh jump off i definitely want to talk about the in the the space cowboy the new
world 2023 that's coming up in texas austin uh in november 17 to 18 i know um moon dial is going to be
there um is actually being put on by my friend sean and so you know he does amazing guest speakers so
those those are really um he puts it up every year the space cowboy events but this is a good
intersection kind of going in there also trying to talk about you know that intersection of blockchain
and this is space economy get you know people like frank wright to be more aware he has his own
podcast he talks about this all the time doesn't fully understand blockchain great opportunity every
time i get to talk to him i talk about blockchain he's you know it's like everybody else i'm still
trying to get them onboarded um but these are the use cases i think it's easier from the blockchain to
onboard to space than space to onboard to blockchain so that's been my perspective um you know like
everybody else is still relatively new so i'm trying both ways whether if it's you're coming from the
space side or the blockchain side um you know that's that's where it remains to be seen you know i think
it's a matter of bridging that gap
definitely definitely yeah yeah i also have the feeling that if you talk with space scientists i mean
they are critical by nature so it's always harder to convince them and they also need to be very
uh open-minded to let these um new thoughts um into their uh into their uh into their minds right so
that they understand it's really about democratizing and giving the normal people also the opportunities
to participate and make a living out of this whole space economy instead of having the same players over
and over again who own the majority of the market and dominate the access to space overall so
yeah i also have the feeling that it's easier to onboard blockchain people into space because
they are already open-minded and they understand the technology so this is the first step um and then
just looking for new applications and use cases because this is what the industry needs while yeah
the space industry on the other hand um needs first also legal certainty globally how we want to handle
our uh transport or operations our accountability and stuff like that and people do not see immediately
the need of blockchain technologies in this process but um i see this as one potential solution how we can
unite and align people globally for a united space economy so definitely uh definitely understand this and um
yeah that's that's right scarlet um cool i also see scott in here in the audience cosmic observer uh i also
see yuki hero here if you want to jump up um share what you have also terraformers um do this now um
yeah we're always open to discuss everything related to blockchain and space tech um always a pleasure to
have uh to have uh to have the audiences here and see what's next for us um to join forces to
collaborate to support each other to unite people uh and then also have uh yeah the reality in in mind
um how space looks like right now and how we can realistically solve the issues that are just laid out
um rod is your hands up what's up what's up what do you want to add finally finally i've wanted to talk
for so long so hi everyone uh hi uh zach uh i believe what can you hear me yeah yeah can you hear me oh
i can hear you but it looks like um you can you guys can you hear rod thumbs up yeah yeah i can hear
oh okay okay uh maybe it's it's uh bugging from me i cannot hear rod and maybe i will try to rejoin see
you in a second yeah okay i've been i wanted to to talk for so long sorry so hi hi everyone i just
want to update one more time um this phase qf uh uh today we received information from uh from chinese round
that the space qf uh received maximum match and punch so uh we have uh we soon will have hopefully
in a week around 3k in our treasury and actually we are planning to run the first this space quadratic
funding round alpha round uh in a couple of weeks maybe two three weeks it will be small round uh for
one thousand uh most probably but the goal of the round is to actually have the first round to and to
get real traction to so we're inviting everyone here if you think that your project is uh related to
decentralized space exploration and could be considered as a public good which is you know a lot of you have
we invite you to participate in the round that will happen soon uh we uh almost have the money uh now it's
just the time the the question of time when we'll have them and i want to say that actually officially
gspace qf was started less than two months ago and uh sorry uh and yeah we already have uh some uh
money we did uh we do not need investors uh we do not need the vcs to kickstart the activity we
definitely will need their support later but from a certain perspective uh the initiative is uh sustainable
and it will grow with that time now i mean we'll get more sponsorship uh more money it'll just take
time so everyone here is invited to to participate in the first round and the goal is not to raise money
for that round but to establish the processes and to have some fun and after all to understand what
actually quadratic funding is and we are planning to do that on uh gitcoin i'm not sure on uh what chain
however uh we will reach everyone once everyone here once um once all the details are cleared we will reach
everyone and hopefully guys uh you will join so duck uh uh if you want to say something you finally
accepted to be in the speaker please jump on the stage it's a pleasure to see you here
hey guys how are you doing just just coming in listening hopping on to say hi i don't have uh much to add
today um uh just uh a little bit more curious about the round more than anything uh that you have a little
bit more on the the details there when that is and uh you know if you dm that to me and so i can just
kind of feel a little bit more aware about it and uh keep an eye on it and keep it on my schedule
um i have to say that uh displace qf is a community-led initiative so uh we discussed a lot of this call and we
have actually more closed calls every tuesday at um 1500 or sorry at 1400 utc and a lot of things we are
discussing on the goal so regarding the space qf uh the the whole idea of a decentralized space quadratic
fighting is to run those rounds on gitcoin and um yeah uh today when we received information that actually
uh so we will have some money at the beginning of today twitter spaces with manual we came to the idea
that actually we should run as soon as possible a small round so uh like the fact that you know
about the round that's the biggest alpha we have right now yeah manuel go ahead yeah thanks rod i just
wanted to add yeah i think for uh it's uh it's a good timing i mean especially also with our plans to make a
pre-alpha launch round by end of the year um very very close round with 1k or maybe 2k in
even rod and i we committed to uh initially sponsor the very first round if we cannot find a sponsor or
cannot attract much more funds by our gitcoin grants but uh we have the small big win that we have some
money available now we are also in touch with different bigger sponsors um and also dow builders
how we can make this uh possible also some investment dows who offered us some but we also need to figure
out how this looks like in detail and i will just reject uh all vcs or investors who want to support
us now because the most important stuff right now that what we can do today is not to give away bunch
bunch amount of money but at least uh build a community out of this and this is what we do we have more
than 40 people in our telegram groups um we have a committed uh pool of uh more than nine grantees
we have an advisory board we have supporters who are offering special perks and for sure also different
sponsors in the pipeline who already committed but before we uh have the pre-alpha launch of the round
and then have some tangible resource how this looks like in reality how we can support space projects with
quadratic funding uh i would be very um very conservative when it comes to uh receiving more money
now um but this doesn't mean that we are not working towards it but uh i'm expecting this for
q1 uh next year so yeah we we have the five focus on on making this first alpha round possible um and
then creating more proof of concepts out of this and see what uh these early early early stage projects
can do with as little money as possible so building communities so that they uh also have an easier life
when it comes to attracting more investors on their uh side of the project because if you have a
active community um it's always easier um to argue in a better position in a in a fundraising call
for your own single projects as well so yeah that's our our roadmap i would say and yeah i i'm i'm already
counting you in terraformers uh same with bit basel um for for this endeavor um either and then on an
advisory role or if you also want to grow your community um and try things out um as a very early
adopter of of this qf uh space round for sure you're always welcome um also as a grantee um that's it
from my side what i can add to this uh rod anything that i missed i see your hands up yep um few more
notes the first notes the first note is actually uh there is an initiative called green ski sorry green
spear sorry green peel uh the space the green peel is the initiative by awoke to to promote quadratic
finding and we also have a separate initiative for that so if you're interested in the uh in details
uh let us know and we will add you to uh our discord actually to green peel discord there is a dedicated
channel for this place that's one thing that i want to add and another thing is that um if you are not
on our telegram group please join the group that's the main place where uh we're going to coordinate
before the round during the round and actually uh the main value that this space uh brings to space
people is the connections that we have in that group so please uh join that group um yeah the uh the first
alpha will be there however we will reach everyone personally just to be sure that uh everyone who
who um who could uh benefit from uh it uh received the message because the world is really messy
uh yeah but that's uh that's what i want to uh wanted to add um um zach scarlet maybe you want to add
something um no i i think uh i think you answered that uh pretty well so um and i i am in the telegram group
too so uh you know just gonna keep my eye out for uh all of this here
amazing amazing and shout out to yuki hero maybe at some point in time uh you'd like to jump on the
stage also yuki hero uh has a friend uh on who works on the intersection uh of uh blockchain and space
exploration it's something related to actually rockets uh the project is from from singapore so uh
yuki hero uh maybe you could be able to reach your friend and tell uh him about our initiatives
uh i think we'll find a lot of common topics to discuss so if uh he'll be able to join our next week
or any other week uh it would be really cool um code spiegel and our listener guys um if you want to jump
on the stage and present yourself feel free to jump on the stage um people who are uh speakers oh we have
uh york x york i've invited you to speak i believe you are from a bit basel it would be cool if you
could jump on the stage and uh say hi um and yeah everyone who wants to jump on the stage please jump on the
stage uh from my side i think i have nothing interesting to add at this point in time however i'm happy to
continue our conversation and discuss uh other things uh related to space exploration and not related
uh to to quadratic funding but the final thing that i want to say i'm really happy that uh we started
the initiative and i'm really happy that uh just after several months we have some tangible traction it's
not so big and not so huge but we have it and uh that source of attraction is completely different from
the regular one it's purely based on public goods and the flame molok and refi and the region it works
it works and the only question is not that it will happen the only question when it will become uh super
popular it will take for sure years but it's already here and it won't get from here
uh it looks like manual uh is cut off uh thanks carolette uh would you like to discuss something or
if no one wants to add anything i think we are good to from the spaces
so um i mean i i really don't i was more uh coming in just to listen today i don't have uh many
updates on my end with anything so um yeah i mean i have uh nothing else to really contribute here um
um i got i did get a listen to uh scarlet for a bit and that uh sounded pretty interesting um i do
have one question for scarlet um so so you mentioned uh democratization of space and a lot but what how
do you how do you act with what you're doing and what you're uh aiming towards but where where do you
specifically you know what what are you specifically trying to how do you specifically see that playing
out right so i mean what what are outside of just you know hey we're going to democratize space
what exactly how's that going to work in uh uh your opinion
that's a very great question matter of fact um my company but basil is doing exactly that in order to
democratize space really you have to bring the awareness to the larger masses um so i we were
doing something very different in terms of using art to be that entry point for many um my company
but basil is working on the providence of the preservation of arts and preserving humanity's
cultural value and um we are actually going to be launching with nasa um this year in november uh 15th
where we've got artists from around the world who are submitting their artwork um then being inscribed
onto this nickel disc that's part of a payload of uh that's going on into a machine
and the idea there of course is to is to bring the consciousness of many that have a personal
attachment to the moon um to get them excited about um you know their artwork being preserved for a
billion years on this nickel disc the reason we're going this route is because they one it brings more
of the consciousness awareness that this is possible to give them a tie-in you know uh
emotional connections with space um you need that uh community buying first and foremost um to help
inspire um that next generation is going to be the infrastructure builders uh to the new space economy
so the inspiration is by far number one in order to get the democratization democratizing to to say hey this is
possible and uh you know we're doing this by preserving humanity's culture value the words of arts um using the
providence and um in our mission um of this year which is going to happen at Cape Canaveral
um and then november 15 which is our official launch date um is with uh where nasa is uh going back to
the moon and they are putting a lunar wall beer and we become the first um crypto art gallery using the
sggs the cinema development goals framework um art gallery um that is going to be preserved on this
nickel disc you know this this idea of democratizing using arts um for community buy-in is something that
we've been working on for many years now you know it's just a matter of you know waiting for this actually
to happen um as you probably already know uh india already uh was the first one to land on the moon
recently uh with a rover and the reason we're going back of course they found water on the south side of
the moon and and so nasa is going there for a survey uh expedition but we're the payload to that
we're using art as that entry point for many um you know we we specialize in technology and art has
always been that entry point because this is culturally understood and it's less scary it's easy more
palatable for the marketization and um you know just really helping people to inspire more what's
capable so this is really our big uh launching uh we're on uh this is our first mission uh but we're
planning to do this five times we actually opened it up to um to do a artist submission again
um where artists around the world can submit their artwork um that they are interested in uh
preserving um and that it's going to be sent to the moon um you know where we're looking at more
the uh impact artists to submit their artwork um that nickel disc is actually going to be uh there's
going to be a copy of that nickel disc uh here on earth um that's going to be displayed in the
smithsonian museum um this is our five-year campaign marketing campaign in order to
really get that word out and you know get that community buy-in um through art uh for for more
than mass adoption uh you really have to break it down to the very very basic before you go to the
complexity to what is the new space economy um if you talk on average person they don't even believe
that we went to the moon for the first place so yet alone trying to explain blockchain technology so
you really have to make it more palatable um so i i've always thought that art was really that
digital renaissance era where we have for the first time an immutable technology that can be
distributed on a ledger that everybody could share and also the fact that this is uh possible through the
internet um i think that's really more of the marketing outreach that's really needed for for
this to really accelerate um which is what we're a part of and uh so if you follow us
i bet basil you know we've been working on on this type of initiative for a very long time but
we're officially launching this year and uh if all goes well you know it will help accelerate but uh
yeah it's it's been this type of initiative to get the community buy-ins to get the creators
into the space to get the hackers to learn and build um on the technology and so forth for for adoption
um and uh and this really gives people a reason for you know it's through the creators uh uh it's been
the outlets and and uh to help amplify those voices uh what this is um you know it's it's kind of
heartening to hear about you know we're putting the first woman in the moon and talk about the artemis
yet nobody knows about it uh and this is going to happen in two years um and i'm i'm here in miami
florida born and raised and and people have no idea that this is even going on so that's why we're using
arts is that use first use case so you know preserving the providence of arts you really
amplifying you know this technology can happen and and have that emotional tie-in with the moon um to
say hey everything is possible so that's been my uh my uh user journey to adoption uh that's going to
open up more doors um and you know help expire and inspire these uh generations to build that
infrastructure really exciting time i must say perfect thank you very much scarlet for sharing
uh beautiful thoughts yeah let's make it possible because everything is possible um good quote by the
way um i got it uh and anything else guys you you want to share now uh we are on top of the hour um
i have a call right afterwards so i will probably need to jump right off but you can stay in here
if it's also fine for rod for a couple of more minutes before we close it up um because i also see
yoga yoga x up here um and maybe you also want to share some of your thoughts or your vision
how we can democratize space but yeah to really tackle the root cause uh win the hearts and the
minds of the people bring them into this uh growing rapidly growing industry and then uh creating
as many proof of concepts and use cases as possible uh can be one potential path how we can achieve this
and i know that you terraformers nft you are also working on this um same with many many many many
people because i believe yeah art is uh the way how how we can achieve this yeah how we can um reach
the people and then hopefully um also unlock more more streams of fresh capital flowing into this so that
we can realize all the visions of all the people that believe in this um as well thank you very much
scarlet again um for sharing your views um i'm highly aligned with this as well so yeah guys i i need to
say goodbye um so i will hop right off but yeah again feel free to stay in here and discuss some more as
