GM GM at least this GM for me
But hello and welcome to from wherever you are tuning in
We're really happy to have you we'll get started in about another
minute or so give people give the stragglers a little bit of time to hop on and
Then we are going to be diving into a couple of different things today. So first of all
We are gonna also want to give some space to hear a little bit about what octant is
I personally know a lot about them and I love them. I love what they are doing. They have a great team
They have a great mission
But we definitely want to introduce more people in the region green pill community to octant
So we're gonna hear a little bit about them. And then we're also going to talk about our current round
That they're helping us sponsor. So also shout out to octant
For helping us run our community round and help fund our community
And I'm really excited about the round that we're running with them because this is the first time
That we're running around that isn't just
Four chapters, so we'll dive into how this round is to help fund chapters
Guilds, but if you are an active member of the green pill community in
A chapter a guild or one of our training programs or have supported the network at whole
How your project is also eligible for this community funding round, which is really really exciting because it's a way for us
synchronicities between not just
What people might know us for but also a way for us to support our broader community and help support
People doing really incredible work in this space. So that's most likely you if you're listening if you're listening to this space
So we're really happy to have you but I'm not sure is it Michelle or
James behind the octant or is it someone? Oh, it's it's James
Good morning, I know it's morning for you
Yeah, the Sun the Sun just rose like 20 minutes ago, so yeah, it's it's definitely a GM here
It's a fresh GM for you. Yeah
I'm in Canada and Ottawa and it's a really sunny day today, which is just nice because most of winter
There isn't a lot of Sun so I'm quite happy
Talk a little bit about octant James and I was just wanted to let anyone know in the audience if you do have a question
Please feel free to just raise your hand when you have a question and then that way we can kind of you can
Ask it as long as it's relevant to whatever the discussion is
We have a question that isn't relevant to what's being discussed. Just wait till the end and I'll open it up for questions
There as well, but you do have permission if you have a question
Pertaining to something that's being discussed just throw up your hand and I'll give you the the ability to speak and ask
But James, yeah, tell us a little bit about auction because honestly
You're doing really really incredible things and you're only just getting started
And this is your second community round and in my opinion not enough people know who you guys are what you're up to. Oh
Cool. Yeah, I'm happy to share more. So
Yeah, I can is a project that launched back in August of last year
But we come from like a really old
Ethereum ecosystem in golem. So if we have any OGs in the in the space here
You might remember a project called golem that has been around since
The golem project actually predates the whole ICO craze in in 2017. So we're you know, a really old
Ecosystem and and why that's relevant is because
tremendous crowdfunding round
Before the ICOs started going crazy in 2017. And so I think to date
They've they've raised the the third highest
In Ethereum history so that that was to the tune of eight hundred and twenty thousand needs that that took place in their 30 minute
Or hour round how long it lasted so quite a substantial amount of money
We know looking at the price now, you know how much that how much that is. So it's it's appreciated quite well
So in 2019 because that Treasury had appreciated to such a large degree golem actually split up into two different entities
So there's golem factory, which is still building the peer-to-peer marketplace for computing power
And they have some really really exciting things going on on their side of the ecosystem
We're big supporters of them and looking to collaborate now on a deeper level with them as their
GPU service and and they're what they're building around the whole aspect of AI is is
Gaining a lot of momentum and we definitely want to be you know, big supporters of that
But as I mentioned in 2019 we split off
so we took with it a third of the remaining crowdfunding or our Treasury funds and
With with a substantial amount of ETH at the time when when ETH or Ethereum had transitioned over to proof of stake
You know that presented a really unique opportunity for us to do
Something really interesting with it. And so that's
Essentially where Octane comes from
We what we ended up doing was staking 100,000 ETH with our own solo validator setup
I know we're also working as well because our team is very security focused
maybe to you know an overarching degree and so we actually have
Some some special tech that we've built for our solo validators that we're hopefully going to be able to share with the solo staking community soon
but yeah, we staked 100,000 ETH and then the way that Octane works is every 90 days we
accumulate these staking rewards and then
We drive those rewards into a few different funnels. So there are rewards that go to our users and
How much rewards go to your users are dependent upon how much of our native token that you you lock into the Octane contract
Anything that we design with this ETH Treasury has to have that token baked into the equation
that's that's you know, one of the stipulations of
everything that we do but so we have rewards then going to our users and then
Separately, there's also a very hefty matching pool that goes to participating public goods projects that are participating in it in
With this upcoming round that we have taking place in April
I think there's going to be about three hundred and thirty ETH going to users and then about
330 ETH minimum going to the public goods projects that participate
The way that that round works is that any
Any reward that a user decides to donate rather than keep because they have the option to either keep or donate
You're effectively leveraging that that matching pool
So your money goes a lot further if you donate versus if you keep it for yourself
And so we've seen really high leverages over these past couple rounds of around 40 to over 50
For every dollar that you donated, you know, there's another 40 to 50 dollars coming from the matching pool towards your donation. So
Pretty substantial amount. It's it's you know, really helping a lot of amazing projects that are participating and you know
We're really excited to continue
Building on that. I will say right now one of the drawbacks of what we've built is is a
The mechanism at current stand is is a plutocracy
So people who have a little more capital right now are able to leverage the matching pool a little more effectively
But we are working in the background to you know
Explore other mechanisms maybe quadratic funding quadratic voting, you know something that a little more democratized so that
You know the community at the end of the day can can champion the the projects that are most important to them rather than needing
A bunch of capital to do so
So yeah, we have an upcoming round in April
I think it runs from April 16th till the end of the month
and it is never too late to
Get a little bit of GLM and and lock it into the the contract so that you have rewards coming your way and you can participate
In the round, so I highly encourage anybody if you if you're interested
To to go either to our Twitter, you know, we have we have a whole link tree there where you can check out the docks
Check out where we're hanging out in discord
And then yeah, I'm always around and active and happy to answer any questions. So
Yeah, really excited to kick off this community around with green pill
We've definitely wanted to to broaden our horizons and not just fund rounds that are taking place every 90 days
So that's that's what this is all about
We we ran around with she fi back in the beginning of the year and that was tremendously successful on all different fronts
we're looking to continue that momentum with with green pill just because of the amazing impact that this community has made and
We definitely want to be able to support that in any way we can
Was that that was a mouthful so
let me know if there's any like questions maybe that I glossed over really quickly or
Any anything else that that maybe came up while I was running through all that
I'm happy to answer questions there or you know, happy to transition into listening to all the amazing projects that that
that green pills building I
Will give my two cents on everything you just shared so that you can take a break and have some water or coffee or
Whatever your morning thing is
Because I know from obviously
Like setting up this this round with octant and then diving deeper into your docks and then obviously like
Personally just being really interested in how you're trying to set up your governance structure and your community engagement structure
I think one of the really interesting things is
obviously public goods funding is a
Tool and I think that we've established that like I'm very happy that that's not really up for debate anymore that public goods funding
It's good for your ecosystem
And you know get coin just launched their their whole like grants equals growth initiative
And this for us is experimenting with that like do grants equal growth of your ecosystem and the right kind of ecosystem
But I think one of the important things to know with octant that is why I appreciate the work
That you were championing so much James, and I know the whole octant team is is that octant?
Because of golem actually it just has a consistent
Revenue model you don't need to go out and
Fund raise from other communities you actually are doing opposite you have a pool of funding
And then you're using that funding to actually support
Communities and projects and so just wanted to give a shout out to that
Because I know obviously the the communities that are getting public goods funding from your the epoch set up are
Obviously if you if you go through the list, you know people will notice that they're very high signal like high quality well-established
Projects a lot of them are open source communities
And so I just wanted to also acknowledge like the work that you guys are doing with funding these community rounds
It's essentially, you know, the epoch is like the the high tail
Or I think maybe I'm getting that the sides mix up like the high tail at the high high high impact
And I feel like these rags that often have been running with she-fi and now us at green pelt. We're like the medium tail
And you know and then I also shout out I picked up this lingo in the golem or sorry in the octant
Governance forum, so these thoughts are not my own
And then the and then the communities that you're helping find like in rounds like this with with she-fi
I'm with green pill is then where we are the medium tail
But then we're also helping fund the long tail because the long tail projects are people who are more likely to be in our community
And or like starting projects in our community and accessing our education and our resources and everything like that that might exist in the green pill
Network or the she-fi community. So just wanted to shout out that because I think it's really cool
What you guys are doing. It's really important and you're really just getting started
And so I know I'm excited to see where you go personally and just honored that you want to run this round with the green pill community
Yeah, I I really appreciate you touched on a lot of points that I think are
Essential in the intention that we're trying to create with this, you know, I always come back to the
I'm a spider-man nerd so that you know
There's that famous quote with spider-man with great power comes great responsibility
And and I think that's been the intention from the get-go is that you know, we have this
Sustainable source of revenue to do something really impactful with it so that at the end of the day, you know
That's that's exactly what we're trying to drive with octon is this win-win scenario where?
You know the golem ecosystem and more broadly the aetherium ecosystem and beyond can can all benefit from from a solid intention
That's that's rooted in hard work. So that's that's ultimately what we're trying to foster here
And I think you're doing a good job I saw Izzy dropping a hundred the hundred percent signs to the you know
The with great power comes great with
And I know that that's something that we are even just like discussing
at Green Pill and kind of that can kind of like lead us into this round also and
Why we've kind of set it up with with you the way we have
We're again traditionally our community rounds are just funding chapters
And if you don't know our chapters are essentially a series of like localized impact hubs and every
chapter has a chapter steward and they focus on different things and what we really try and encourage is
To work with it within whatever is already your zone of genius
Educator or a community builder then you know running like onboard and workshops and things like that probably makes sense
If you are more of like a builder or a person who likes to create projects and execute on on the ground initiatives
Then you might be teaming up with like some of our chapters are teaming up with Sylvie to help with their
operation web tree initiative
Some chapters are incubating regenerative projects or startup
Blockchain projects in their community. So some are
I know if is even in Nigeria some of them are
onboarding their local community members showing them how to use wallets, but then also doing rewarding them by
You know if they participated in handing out food rations or community cleanup
In Thailand, that's like a lot of what they're focusing on as well as like these beach cleanups. So
Different chapters just do a full spectrum of things and if you are interested in starting a chapter as well
Please just let us know because we're always looking to help kind of like incubate and start and start more of these local chapters
But then we also have all these other things we do. So then we have guilds. We've recently launched guilds as we have like a developer guild
We have like a it's called the pioneer guild and it's essentially we're
Izzy's leading it and the goal of it is to be like a launch pad or a touch place point for either
Builders or founders or people who are looking to start projects, but maybe need support. There's obviously a ton of
As a founder to or even if you just want to launch a project in this space
So we're trying to kind of create a hub for that
Actually, we have a lawyer entering the octant round who she does a ton of like free
Again, she can't give free legal advice unless you're her client
But she gives like a lot of really really good startup advice points you in the right direction does a lot of like pro bono work
So we're hoping to get her in with our pioneer hub and a bunch of other resources as well
So we're trying to kind of do that and then we also have our education program
So we ran recently the around manager training program
So if people want to learn how to run their own funding community round on grant stack
They're able to do that. I think right now. There's like 16 of the current rounds launched on get coins grant stack
16 plus we're actually from people who are in our round manager training program. So we have all these different entry points
In terms of like how you can kind of interact with us and then we also have our community
So a lot of people who come into the Green Pillow ecosystem
They might not be a chapter steward
But they want to participate in either the Green Pillow network or in their local chapter or in a guild
Or they just want to support like even sharda shout out to Carlos
So Carlos like web 3 Beach as an example would qualify for our current round because you've just come into the Green Pillow network and offered
Support around not just getting like mission requests up for us to try and get grant bending
but also working with some of our local chapters on how they can kind of
Activate their local communities and you've just done honestly way more things. I have time to say thank you for on the space
This round is also a way to kind of support the broader Green Pill
Initiatives even if they're not a like quote-unquote Green Pillow
Started initiative and so again just like really really thankful for octant for helping us do this and
Our goal our goal is our goal is to have is to be able to help fund at least 40 projects through this round
So it is a 10th round and poor James when he committed to this 10th. That was a couple thousand dollars ago
We're all of a sudden this round is a lot bigger
It's right about at four four grand right now, so yeah, keep it going I'm here for it. I
Know I love it. But as it's been ripping I've been like, okay again is he and I were talking like great power great responsibility
We're like, okay, I'm gonna start
Messaging people to be like you qualify for this round. Please apply
if there's people in your community who are Green Pillow members who have a project who are doing good things and against social reputation like
If you're like you vouch for this person, they're not like they actually they put up an application
They're actually going to do their work and they're the work that they're claiming is real
We would love to help get some support there because again the goal with this is to see how many mid and long tail
Projects can we help fund with octants help and support?
and the idea is just like creating all those beautiful ripples by
Because then those projects go out and do a lot of really cool things and then those projects go out and support people
And so the goal with this community round is to essentially be able to just create a massive
I was gonna say a massive green pill wave, but that might like hurt if you got hit with a bunch of green pills
But like massive green Kool-Aid, you know, that's a little bit easier
To get to get swarmed up in
But I'm not sure James if you wanted to add anything to that. No, I'm just really excited to kick all this off and and
You know, here's some of the great things that people are building and the impact that they're having. So
Yeah, happy to transition there
Again, if anybody has questions about octant, you know, follow us on Twitter join our discord
I'm always around so you can always ask
Questions about anything that we're up to and and happy to provide support wherever I can
Yes, and we're gonna do so well
I'll pull up some of the projects right now if anyone wants to speak and kind of share if you either applying to the round
Or have already applied. Please feel free to come up and talk a little bit about your project the donations
So we will have another space next week, I believe
With again octant James and I think Kevin is going to be coming on
We're trying to coordinate with Kevin and so we'll also have another space
Specifically dedicated to getting through as many projects as we possibly can but would love to hear from a handful of projects that are
either if you're a Greenville chapter or
If you're a project that has applied like I see well Paul I can see
Ecosynthys there if you wanted to even pop hop up and talk a little bit about that
Is he if you want to talk about Greenville, Nigeria or sound view?
They have anyone like you want to request to speak. Oh
Perfect. Okay. We've got I think I'm assuming it's swift Evo
So, I think that might be swift Evo behind the green sofa, but if you want to tell us a little bit about what you guys
This is a green sofa, which is the local chapter representing the Taiwan happy to speak here and
It's our pressures to participate around the host fight green player network and octant and it's that's it a great thing
what we are doing right now is that
Kick off our first local Taiwan QF round for the local NGO and individual which is contributing in public groups
utilizing the decolon front end from GG
GG18 and GG19 and then that's all we use our
our funds to do the local run and we have a
30 project which is some meet our local round and which is contribute in the public goods
So that's why right now to be a Pacific Pacific pay it is QF run
So I have more measuring fun to support what we are doing in
Taiwan to support different kinds of NGO or individual
contributing in public research. So that's what we are here and it is great to
participate in this QF round
and one question I would like to ask because I think
individual doing the discussion within a team will be would like to know more about
Objective impact measuring about
about different kinds of project. What what what what do you?
Do you have any situations or truth that can
provide as a reference or or as examples that how we can measure the impact of different kinds of
there is a different diversity of projects and activity over there for public goods and is there any
how the impact is then it can show up for everyone to know of this project is great and
Etc etc things so therefore we should support them and because it shows the impact here
So is there any a tool for example, or you are considering or a voice the key factors
Then we can give us some suggestions when we are doing public goods or on the same time we holding
Holds our local QF round then we can have some
calculations for us to use
So I think that there's like two components to it. I think if you want to measure
Think part of it is honestly even like looking at the when you run a local QF round
Who's in grant stack you also just have so much data there like the report card is
Essentially like a metric
So that is one way that you can kind of track the impact and also the growth of the QF rounds that you're running over
Time is even just using the get coins already like self-created
Bitcoin passport and then I also know law also I was already asked you Carlos for your hands, right?
So I would love to hear your take on like the local components of impact as well
GM GM I'm so stoked for this conversation. Thank you to Green pill
Thank you to octet Lana James everyone that's doing all the work behind the scenes to make this happen
I also want to give a special shout out to green sofa
Because I met I bet some some of the members while I was in Taiwan and I was really impressed with the work that they're doing
You know, if you know me, you know, I'm bullish on onboarding impactful
Organizations in the real world to crypto and having this be their first having them be funded with crypto
As their first experience, I think that's that's how we're gonna create
lot of impact with the technology and also
win over legislators and and just show the world that we are, you know here to do more than speculate on on
Magic dog money, right? So a huge shout out to
To them huge shout outs to Greek pill, Nigeria as well for all the work that they're doing. I love when people
Replicate and improve on the ideas that we started at web through Beach
I think you're doing a marvelous job at that. So huge shout outs and I did want to address the
Measuring impact so we do have a lot of primitives that are emerging in the Ethereum ecosystem
But there's still that like we we haven't really
Fixed the user experience or like improve the user experience, but they're there right? So hyper search is a great tool for this
Also karma is developing a lot of great tooling for this. The one thing that we're missing is like having domain expertise
Evaluate that impact right? So I would love to see someone start like an evaluation now or something, right?
Where you have domain experts focus domain experts, you know, I mean people who are developers and are
experienced and knowledgeable enough to be able to assess impact for open source software, for example people who have experience in
environmental impact and are able to judge, you know, what's actually been done and
And and the impact it has in their local community or people that have different skill sets having those people
Be able to assess the impact is that one
Thing that we're missing for this to just turn over and make total sense to the world and also ensure
All these funding bodies these funding organizations that you know, they are funding the right things, right?
So in short, I don't have a great answer
There are some tools out there, but I'd love to connect with you via DM so we can start
You know playing around with ideas on this because it does really require, you know
There's devs doing all this amazing work creating these tools and it makes sense the way that they're doing it
But then they need people on the ground people doing the work to be able to integrate these things
And then we have that that crossover, right? So I'd love to work with you on that and also
Thank you so much Lana for saying that I'm eligible for this round. I wasn't even thinking of that, you know
Like everything I do. I'm just trying to be helpful and and trying to support communities that I think are creating
Value and creating impact for the ecosystem. So thanks. Thanks for that. I appreciate that
And that is exactly why carlos you're in you're you're supposed to be in this round
Because you're just yeah, you just help a lot of people do a lot of stuff. So thank you so much
And actually Izzy while Carlos was talking also thought that a lot of even just like the impact tracking and any tools or resources
I know you're doing a lot of stuff with karma and Nigeria
So these are actually probably some things we could drop into the into the pioneer guild as well
So that people just have like a central place and then chambers a central place of all of the tools that are available
And then the ways they could stitch them together and I know John
With I think it's I think it's companies called Dursi, but they're essentially it's like experimenting with reviewing
Hyper certs so that that way you're out and we did that for green pill
We actually went through and like reviewed people's hyper certs
To see like were these worth being hyper certs and like are these things that we should be funding?
Or were people like making hyper certs to make hyper certs?
So I know that we're definitely like experimenting with all that kind of stuff
So also just shout out if you have any of those tools and you want a community experiment with
We would love to help experiment with it
I'm not sure if yeah, Izzy
First of all, thank you long for setting this up in a tent for all the work
You're doing and Carlos Paul like you guys are amazing. There's some a lot of amazing people on here. Um,
I wanted to kind of touch a little bit about
What greenfield sofos asking about the impact measurement like that's like a huge
Exactly what Carlos was saying about like we can't have all this data and have all this tools
But if you don't have individuals in it with the right expertise in a certain field
This like the two of these tools and data doesn't really matter and that's essentially what that pioneer hub upon their guild
That we're building in Greenfield. Um, it's really
Basically gonna focus on and for data aspect. There's also a region learning that XYZ. I highly highly
recommend like just hopping on there with like Carlos and Umar and
It's pretty open whereas like you can focus on your own niche and that's literally what we're trying to do at Greenfield
And I'm loving the opportunity that we're getting right now to actually have a platform to do
So I see a lot of like projects that I would probably like ask if they want to come up and say something that
Just like on a standing on the footsteps
I mean on a stand on a show all Carlos a shoulder with the onboarding like BC F said like would would probably
Not have that opportunity to kind of do the work that you're doing a lot of work that people are doing on ground
They're not really on Twitter or a lot of social media aspect
They're literally just focused on making sure that community is uh, is is working effectively and just thank you for the opportunity
That's that's all you to that
Okay, everyone raises their hand right before is about to call on them because Paul that I was gonna segue to you cuz I think that
What you're doing in Thailand
Is just like a really great example of working with organizations that are already in web 3
But then you're also onboarding a ton of local
Into these QF rounds and you are essentially running like nine different rounds at once which I love
But we'd love to hear a little bit more about you and your project
Yeah, hello everyone and Lana easy Carlos James was based with evil like you guys for sure
So first of all, I bring kind of question
But that question shouldn't be answered right now
There is no answer for that
But James if there is kind of incentivize or some airdrop for those one who from zero a post zero
This public good funding with the content app
That will be nice cuz I collect in all pops that they that we have after the round end
So yeah, just like question in the future. I bought us and about this impact verification
That's pretty interesting question. But you know, I think that
If you're going back that public goods from local ecosystem for local people for local communities
Actually people can judge and
bring their votes through quadratic voting and I think that's the biggest and
Voice from those who get in receiving services from public goods
Whenever and they can feel it or cannot feel it and they can say okay who's this guys or they can say wow that guy
They do a lot and we yeah, we can donate them. We like them. We want support we can increase financing, you know
And this all the part of let's say decentralization or moreover
Approach like we have on Hawaii when local community they distribute federal money
For those who creating positive impact on the ground and they know better and for sure as we mentioned before Carlos mentioned
There is like some experts and in Hawaii case I'm in touch with guys right now
I'm pretty excited to what's going on there and there is like a hunger hero
Organization and as I know there is plan or maybe already
Things going on that they kind of
Local communities invite them to be middleman between them and between federal money
That should goes to public good and the organization. So so they know the deal and they can
Influence this distribution and this was delegated by people who lives on island
So I think that's the best because there is starting some
Kind of elite approach when they start to choose expert in this sphere and another sphere. Okay, if this expert just
Place scores if they make some like opinion
And there is kind of optional then yes, if there is if those experts starting to make decisions
kind of delegation power from people then it's
Want to say limited a bit and I see on this
kind of opinion from expert expert group, but not decision-making or maybe more like
opinion making and providing some
Real suggestion because yeah, absolutely true
I'm an environmental scientist and when I talk with people majority don't understand what's going on
They don't know the reasons they don't know sources. They don't know how everything interconnected and I totally understand that but
Yeah, I'm just worried about this expert union or expert club that
Who make decisions a little bit more on democratic approach whenever the democratic approach can lead to some?
That's that's how it works. I think that's the basic. So we will see this maybe in US this autumn
But back from this politic, yeah, we we we're running from my cut since six
We're running our public good funding
Experiments right now utilizing alla protocol version one and we're waiting for alla protocol version two
And we have a lot of excitement on that, but I don't want to shill or
Talk on that too much. I will bring from green peel pan gun
Already started the centralized clean up that we excited about that and try to in the white and white people globally and we have
NFTs and some digits mechanics to you know, play with monkey mind because we still
Everyone here as well Dijon
Because you know the Dijon to region
So pan gun KF and I'm excited about pan gun KF cuz you know, we gather crazy amount
supporting the nation's from Dijon from like other people who know the Nate on
Infrastructure through good coin infrastructure and we plan to start and I'm not sure maybe it will be with
GG 20, but we get about ten thousand dollars from zero and
10,000 will distribute we're gonna distribute here with the first one gun cave for local communities
And I try my best on board in Jo's who work in traditional sphere who get grants from governments who?
Have no idea about that three and that's super hard
That's super like challenges for me, but I already got some
Inspiration cuz for example John Fitton the founder of a Catalan foundation. He's like up totally open
He said like I don't know with all what you're talking about about blockchain, but I'm ready
Just tell me what to do. Please guide me. Please support me and we I'm ready. I like it
I like what you're doing. I think that's
future and that will empower
local activists in public
impact impact creators and
Just one person make me like super inspired and super lucky all these challenges. They like not really challenges
I mean, it's just like life. I have the nation to pay for my bills
I have work to do and I'm just do this work and of course like we want to do our work like smooth, you know, like
Instantly right here right now give us results. But yeah life is life and
Yeah, so we excited what we're doing here all the way what we experiment and I'm not sure we plan to have it
Biennalee, but I'm not sure about that
That's another part. Let us start and let us deliver this first
Pandan P.F. So that's maybe too much for me
I will show next week for sure because we actually have a lot of
Things and I actually need to sit maybe and write down a lot of results and my analytics
But you know, we have a lot of things to do and I feel like field man right now
And I will want to work in the field and I don't want to sit and like write articles or like I know how to do
this all and like environmental scientist and I almost finished my PhD
But you know when you have stuff to do in the field, that's so excited and cool cuz you're we experimenting we
Working in the cut-edge technology and cut-edge approach. Okay, some doesn't work. Someone will work and yeah, that's cool
Thank you. Good to be here
Thank you, thank you and then also shout out to Anastasia who I'm assuming is maybe
Right now absolutely and she is listening
She's like to do this and yeah decentralized clean up the and earth matinee day here on pangan
That's totally her initiative and yeah, she's the best by the way
Yeah, yeah, and I think one of the cool things like shout out to
Anastasia that she's been experimenting with and they've been experimenting with is
They've set up with like unlock protocol
essentially, it's like proof of
so, you know you sign up to do this decentralized cleanup and then what you do is you actually submit photos of
What you've done and then she looks through it and then we'll issue you an NFT
Saying like yes, you successfully participated in this like decentralized cleanup, right?
Which I think is really cool. It's a cool way of using like on chain solutions and cuz I'll mock
You can do everything through email
So people don't actually need a wallet to be issued an NFT
But if they ever create a wallet they can transfer the NFT to that wallet. So I think it's pretty cool. I
See a couple of other projects and again next week. We're gonna go through next week
We're gonna like have everyone who wants to come speak. He's in the round
Obviously our goal is to have 40 projects. So we might not get to everyone
But I know I see a couple of other people who have applied
I don't know Greenpool Germany if you want to come up and chat
I don't know if it's civil or manual behind that
But if you want to talk about either what Greenpool Germany is up to or the decide guild
You're more than welcome to. I don't know Izzy if you want to talk a little bit about
Soundview or what Greenpool Nigeria is up to or I think any of the other
Community aligned projects from your ecosystem that kind of applied you can
But I'll give people that space before I dive into some of the other projects that have applied
Wanted I see I don't know if they can speak up. I'll speak up right now
but if not next week would be fine too, but it's a lot of uh,
Projects like I was saying earlier that actually like has been helping with the green pill, Nigeria ecosystem that are
Applying to this round and um, like I said earlier, normally they may not get it. They may not get a chance to do so
Like one of them is that BCF said like basically it's a blockchain club that like that, you know runs
he literally like helps like
Educate individuals and onboard them like not just open a while
It's but actually utilizing their wallets and getting showing them different things on what they can do. Um
Also, like soundview or create a hub
Basically what they're doing is I'm trying to bring traditional
Creators on board and get them to easily meant their work to easily meant their work as a NFTs
Um, I don't want to go here and just go over all of them
But I just wanted to give a huge shout out to everybody that's involved Paul
You're doing amazing work on ground and also like I can't stop giving love shell out Carlos and mr. James. Well octane
It's just amazing things going on and I really really am optimistic and happy for the next chapter of greenfield. Thank you
Thank you, yeah, I I think one of the cool things about this round is
It's also a way for us to kind of meet
other core contributors in local chapters that maybe we don't know and see what other
Projects they're working on because most people in the green field ecosystem
Like not all but lots have other
projects or regen initiatives or communities that they're running that they kind of want to
Bring into the the green pill ecosystem because you know a tide rises
So I'll give people any space to just feel free to like raise your hand if you have a project you want to talk about
But in the meantime, I'm just gonna go through
Some of the projects we have already in the round that haven't spoken
but we have the Sylvie project which are
I mean, I don't know if you if you haven't heard of Sylvie
It's a root. It's it's cool. Like they essentially have it. They have a fully functioning app on
Solo and what it allows you to do is like track your tree planting and your tree going initiatives
But then it also allows you to like monitor the health and development of the trees that you've planted and they're all tokenized
So essentially like as long as you're able to show proof of all of the stages that you're doing
You get issued a small amount of like a token reward. It might be in like see USD
I believe but it's really cool because essentially like that initiative is largely focused on like reforestation efforts
In places in Africa and the global south where also a small amount of funding actually goes a really long way
But also where these tree planting initiatives are really really needed. So they're doing a bunch of cool work. They're also
Partnering with why no paying them. They're on your list because he told me he's talking with you guys
But then he's also working with Green Pill, Ottawa and Green Pill, LA
And it's it's a really cool initiative and again operation web tree
Which I think is really cute. So they're doing a lot of really cool work in the regen space
So they're one of our projects we have the borderless community
Which is a nonprofit that teaches people how to be developers in Nigeria, which is really cool
We have loomco which is collaborative engineering systems like in the D size space and data space
and then we have agro forest dal which is all about like supporting agriculture initiatives and
Like onboarding local kind of like agriculture and community initiatives into the web through space
They've done a lot of really really cool work and they're associated with Green Pill, Brazil
So those are some of the other projects to that we have in this round
pods as well, which is like for on-chain podcasts if you've listened to the Green Pill podcast recently and
Have collected it that is because we are using the pod system there and then we have crypto whales NFT
So they are actually the original like monthly Earth Day cleanup crew
Oh, I see you actually I see you on here
If you want to come up and talk a little bit about your initiative, and then I'm also inviting up
So I'd love to have you speak if you want to talk a little bit about your project
Oh, I might have needed you by accident if you are speaking that would be my fault because I think I needed you by mistake, sorry
Okay, so maybe you're not if you wanted to say anything
Wasabi from from the coconut you're absolutely allowed to and you can just unmute yourself
And I believe I saw one other person requesting to speak if you just want to request again
Go for it. Take it away wasabi. You're up
Yeah, I request to speak because I'm part of operation web tree. I use came out of the of the working group meetings
Yeah, used to throw a little bit talk a little bit about that. I feel like it's a great
Initiative by by Sylvie because basically they are allowing
Agroforestry projects to be part of this working group and use the Sylvie app to measure
the planting of the tree and something create about Sylvie app is that
Then you can use this data to create three forwards. So basically it's another source of
For local projects and a way of creating high-fidelity data that you can then use for other initiatives
Absolutely, yeah, so we has got a bunch of cool stuff and I know that part of what they've already built out
The dev guild is working on like an onboarding app that
Integrates like hyper certs and proof of local impact that chapters are it would be able to use
Locally with whatever their projects are and I know that
We also talked about maybe seeing if we can use some of the stuff or even build maybe
Using the app that so these created since they already have like a lot of those stuff in place
So if you haven't looked into Sylvie, they're just a really cool project
And again, they're kind of trying to bring together
The maybe the fragmented aspects of on the ground like regenerative projects, but making it feel
Like it's a part of a team, which is really exciting. I know we're trying to get more green pill chapters
In that community as well because it's just like
Again, they've got a lot of the skill set for activation and then we have the people who want to be activated
So it's a very good like win-win dynamic
I'm not sure if anyone else wanted to share a little bit about their project again. We will have
Lots of time next week. We'll have a whole space dedicated to talking about projects so that that way when the round is actually live
you know, you can hear about some cool projects and then go in and
Donate because that will be that will be the next stage. We're gonna try and keep up with what
Paul and Anastasia have been doing with their rounds on grant stack where they just the amount of donations is
So high and I know often the last round they ran was she if I
It would be at this the numbers of people who donated
Was so incredible. So I know we're also pushing to
You know, not in a competitive way, but like in a friendly competition way
See if we can kind of surpass those metric those metrics
Maggie and the she by community have just got like a really great activated community
So I think it would be like a fun way for us to also activate our own community
But I don't know James if you had anything else you want to share and then if not
We can kind of do closing thoughts and wrap up. No
Yeah, I think I could have covered everything about acting in the beginning again. Just want to
You know, let everybody know that I'm always here. I'm super active in our social channels so you can DM
Us in on our Twitter handle here or you know, come and jump into the discord
If you have any questions about how Octin works
But yeah, we have a lot of really big changes coming in for for our upcoming funding round and then a lot more
Guess you could call it community centric sort of initiatives that we're building
And so because Octin is such an early stage project
I like to consider it this piece of clay that we're still molding if you want to have any sort of impact or or
Share your your perspectives about how you think you know, we can improve things and build something that's more
Impactful for you know a broader community then I'm always happy to have that conversation. So feel free to reach out to me anytime
Yeah, and if you're like me who is
Likes to straddle the D gen regen line
I mean getting yourself some of the GLM token but then staking it and donating your earnings to public goods
Just feels like a really good, you know, like like full yin-yang style
Style of the D gen regen move
Yeah, we're really I will say to we're definitely working behind the scenes right now and toying with the idea of how we can you know
Create this coveted holy grail of turning the D gen into the regen and we have some really good ideas about how that might actually
Look in practice. So stay tuned for all that. But yeah exciting things in the future here
Perfect, this is the perfect time like all the DJs are any DJ that was asleep is emerging from hibernation
