Hello everyone, welcome to flick stock triple one
Great number to begin with actually we're all about patterns and numbers here at ommitix. So
Yeah, hope you're all having a great day. Good evening. Good morning. Good afternoon. We have no knows joined us
Also, Navarose Mubarak to fanatics who are
Best wishes for a great year ahead and we wish you a lot of success and a lot of
happiness in all your pursuits
So to begin with today's space we'll of course
we'll be talking to our guest which is Vinnie from Steak's Heathrow and
Before we begin I want to have Abhishek talk about a few updates from ommitix side
from from the flick screw covering some engineering updates and
Abhishek over to you. How are you doing?
Hey, I'm doing very well glad to see the Steak's Heathrow team over here and
Yeah, pretty excited for you know, what they'll be talking about, you know
Looking forward to see what they'll share
But you know quickly before that
Let me go ahead and share some of the updates that you mentioned definitely. So
First things first this weekend. We've
Had an issue with our provider
Mostly due to you know reasons beyond our controls
We obviously took risks, but at the same time, yeah
Yeah, this wasn't like 4c but at the same time we've initiated the migration the apps are live
Some of the NFTs the media for the NFTs are not yet accessible or they're not visible
See those going forward if you have the file
Ready the same file ready with you. Do not hesitate to go ahead and upload it your
Yeah, your NFTs with their media will be visible sooner if you can upload the file using studio
We'll be sharing more information about that. But even if you do not have the file, do not worry
Yeah, we've not only realized the importance of you know alternate regions, but also alternate providers
You can't just depend on say a single cloud provider
It's probably very obvious, but sometimes not so much. So yeah
Of course, you know, we definitely have learnings here as well as
Intent to like better build these systems that every creator utilizes every organization utilizes
right, so yeah, we are planning for
Backup if you can say that for content like media assets as well as you know
Data this can be using Jackal this can use multiple other providers or no as a creator
You should be free to choose whatever provider you want
We should be able to build compatible data formats now for you to utilize
not only on say Jackal or
But you should also be able to utilize are we even some of the other or your own system?
To be able to backup content and you know, make it accessible. So yeah, this is one major major point
Apart from that we've of course, you know, if this concerns some teams the other
teams or departments within the engineering
team have been pushing forward with the functionality behind gated interactions first and
Then video talks. So these are being worked on as you might already know if you're following on Netflix
But if you are just joining us today for this
Yeah, we are working on water gated interactions
This is a bit different from gated content, right? So with gated content, you can expect a
Format where if you have an NFT if you verify the ownership of an NFT, right?
View the content but with gated interactions. It is a bit different
Anyone can view the content right like the distribution of content. We do not want to like restrict access to that
But the interactions themselves are gated, right?
We moved away from the term
Are now calling it gated interactions
Primarily because you know, let me we have like the perfect example
Right here. So let's say you have the steak Cito
NFTs, you know with you if you were a delegator steak Cito dropped NFTs
Thousands of NFTs to their delegators and if you have that, you know, that is a token, right?
That's an NFT. That's a non fungible token. So
You can call that and if you verify the ownership of that NFT and access interactions
Right, you can call that as or you can say that this is a token gated interaction
But what if what if you steak your flakes?
with the steak Cito validator, right and
You know here there's no token
representing anything representing your delegation, but
State of the tokens, you know, the fact that you've delegated tokens through the steak Cito validator is recorded on chain
So, you know you we were if we were calling this feature or if we termed it as token gated
We were very restricted in thinking that all of the gating has to happen primarily
Using tokens, but we can also use on-chain data
right like just in the example that I mentioned if I went ahead and
Staked ten flakes and it flakes one thousand flicks with the steak Cito validator
And that delegation can be used as access to content, right our interactions
Those are gated interactions and you know
We're moving away from the token gated part to just being gated
So, I mean I I took these few minutes to explain that primarily because you know
All of our creators, you know need to understand these intricacies like the minute details
So that they can better plan and when we say gated like we were using the term protected like token protected
it made sense, you know as a synonym and as
Something that lacked the negative effect, you know gating means restricting protected means say something positive
Yeah, not moving away completely from the terminology. We will still be calling or you know
referring to these as gated interactions and gated content just so that there is easy clear communication and
The difference between token gated and gated interactions or gated content, you know
I'm sure you all understood but this will be published as a blog post as well. So
Yeah, this is this is something that is exciting that is releasing
So just to give you a quick overview about gated content like maybe next week
We'll talk about video drops and everything else around that but just to give you a quick overview about gated content, right?
Yeah, you can use that to collaborate with other creators right Sandy's here IBC mafia is here
You know the flicks fanatics are here
You have Chris over here. You have of course the Stakesy to team themselves right all of these
their creators they have communities they have people that
Trust, you know the creator right and are part of the community that believe in the creator and are part of the community and
If you really want to say collaborate with any of these guys, you know
Be it tardigrades from a PFP standpoint stakes here from bad standpoint Chris
And tangled from a trading card standpoint Sandy from our unique NFTs one of one NFT standpoint, right?
If you're looking to collaborate with their community
This gate access to a video
With their community exclusively to their community or you know, you can get it with multiple communities
Right multiple collections can be selected. So you can go ahead
with multiple collections and
Yeah, talk to the creator talk to the you know community managers, right and make sure that you know
They share the word spread the word, right? If you're offering something exclusively for their community. I
Am 100% sure that every creator that I mentioned or anyone in the ecosystem would want to work with you collaborate with you
So, you know, you can use gated interactions to collaborate not just restrict people
from accessing content or accessing interactions
The second part is you know
If collaboration is the first, you know key advantage from a creator standpoint from a publisher standpoint
The second advantage here is that you can also maintain exclusivity, right?
You can combine right multiple pockets of people you can bring them together right multiple segments of people
And get them to interact with one video or you know series of videos
So this way you will be able to better build your community as well as you know
Keep it exclusive to the communities that you're collaborating with
The third thing here is of course, you know, if you have an open interaction a video that is open for interactions
There have been you know, say some doubts, you know regarding
You know if bots are participating if you know x if y if z right and you know thinking about spam, you know and
People spamming the interactive video itself right and participating in the in the interactions, right?
All of this doubt can be eliminated if you get your
Interactions not the video not the content just the interactions
With people that you want
You know people that you want to collaborate with or exclusively to your community. It takes ito. They publish excellent videos
Tutorials right explainers, you know the the akash
Concept video i'm i'm not really sure who worked on it, but you know, uh, definitely those are
Things that you know, I think the ecosystem in some sense needs because you know, honestly, I like I was just talking to jathin today
As omni flicks we talk about new features, you know talk about things that are coming up
Uh, but very rarely we talk about things that already exist
You know, how can you utilize the power of what already exists?
It's something that we want to focus on and you know, all of those videos by stakes
The videos can be open the content can be open, right?
But the interactions can only be accessed by delegators, right for now
It is token gated but eventually it'll be on-screen activity gated right and so on so forth
So these are some of the ways in which a creator a publisher, you know a community manager, right can
Interactive videos especially gated interactions, you know with gated interactions, uh, yeah more about video drops
Uh, you know probably in the next few days or in the coming weeks, but uh, you know, this is something that I wanted to share
Exclusively with all of you, you know, this is also
Uh part of what I was like letting you all know, you know
We're talking about things that are coming up but not really talking about things that
Exists right now today, right and the potential the power of what can be done with them
So yeah, uh, this is this is something that the team has been working on. Uh, of course the video drops functionality
We are prepping preparing to open source the contracts associated with the launchpad, you know
Uh, be it the classic winter be it the classic open edition winter or the multi-ment open edition winter, right?
So all of these contracts will be open, you know or open sourced
For you to review or you know, if you're a creator might not be savvy enough
You know if you have a friend that you know can understand cosmo bosom
Please go ahead and share it with them for review
But I'll I'll suggest something else. Uh, I did this myself. So I'm very confident about this approach
Copy the code on github paste it on chat gbt ask chat gbt
like throw infinite questions at chat gbt and you should have all your
Queries addressed and if there is something that chat gbt cannot help you with
We're we're very sure we can help you with that, right? So do not hesitate to you know, go ahead inspect, you know, explore
And uh, you know, you'll probably figure out
Some functionality that we might not have exposed in the ui like the contract has a lot of power
But the front-end interface the app might not have might not expose all that power, right?
If there is something that you figure out discover, please feel free
But you know, we don't expect every creator to do that
You know some of the more enthusiastic ones might be able to do that or might be interested to do that
But they'll be open source. The contacts will be open source pretty soon
We are preparing for that and uh, yeah April April is a solid month
Uh, we will have quite a few feature launches, you know updates most likely before march and we should see some of these features go live
But uh, you know, we are first focused on the migration the other engineering departments are focused on the upcoming releases and uh, you know
some more implementations, you know, we are uh
We have been talking to a few people not only within the cost of the system, but outside
Some more good news, uh, maybe next month or in the following weeks, right? So yeah
Uh in the next few weeks, we'll also discuss talk about video tops and all that's coming up
So if you have any questions, do not hesitate to let us know
But uh, yeah jatin and team that concludes are
My updates from an engineering standpoint. Yeah, please feel free to ask any questions that you might have
I think that was a good wrap up on
What's going on and what's coming?
the gated interactions bit
I think that will conclude like a good set of uh, like we already have interact to claim
And gated interactions will be something
that brings the same sort of functionality about
interaction white list to bunch of people who already hold nfts of course the part that you mentioned about
Um bringing through engagement and like, you know having it making
your campaigns more spam free
More collaborative because people cannot just make white list for their like uh
Give get interact get the interactions for their own collections, but for their collaborators collections as well
And I think that's one thing that really thrives on omniflex is that we've been seeing so many
collaborations between our
genesis and even like upcoming creators in terms of
Story telling I think a lot of the creators are in the space. Um, there is sandy
Uh snails fight form like a lot of them are even like in different nft formats. I've seen like music nft formats
Uh, I saw tangled in sanitos. They have a collection tangled in vega have a collection together
Thank you. Uh, just a quick point like i've seen some some of you join, you know while I was talking
Or you know just after I completed, you know sharing some of my updates
Uh, yeah, thanks a lot nima send me me for staying here
You know for the 15 20 minutes that we were sharing our updates
Uh, yeah, we are planning to change the format of uh flick stock by a bit, you know tweaking the format where we will most likely have
omniflex side of updates, you know be it engineering and you know a few others in the first 15 minutes max 20 minutes of the space
And uh, you know then go on with the featured guests and uh, probably wrap it up with the featured guests
So this is a format, you know, we are experimenting not experimenting. Uh, you know nima send me primarily because our creators asked
Asked about this and you know, uh, they sometimes got updates sometimes due to the space running for too long we you know
Can like yeah, uh concise all those, you know
Zip all those updates and then you know share them quickly. So instead of that, you know, we are uh focusing on some of the
important updates for creators now at the start of the space. So yeah, thank you for your patience and
Yeah, jathen miss and mini. I'll let you guys take over
Sure, uh, no, definitely the we must experiment
Yeah, I think i'll just give a small introduction because uh stake cito
Is not only well known in cosmos
Our connection to them also goes deep
Their collection was one of the genesis nft collection
On omni flakes like you know, one of the first value just to drop
Soul-bound nfts. I think there are two collections, uh right now on omni fix for
people who like, you know, who parts may be interacted on early and um
With with the cast with the quest they have a channel on omnics tv
And the team has been growing
So, uh, of course, you know, we had to have them on the space as well. So, uh
Yep, I think it's a good time is in to start. Hi vinnie. How are you doing? Hey, i'm good. How are you?
All all good all good here
Thank you, thank you for the expression we just wanted to cover some important updates first
Yeah, so I think before I start, um
I think it'll be great if you can give a quick update about
like, you know your journey in uh
Working with stake cito and the team. I know the teams like has been slowly like expanding and over time. It has you know
Popular in cosmos. So always nice to hear about like, you know more and more about it
Yeah, for sure. So i've been in crypto for a while. It's been maybe 10 years now a little over 10 years
I feel old even just saying that
Um, I got into the space as a trader. So I was trading bitcoin
Um, and then aetherium popped up and all these projects were being built, um in aetherium ecosystem
So naturally because I have a background in economics. I was interested in, you know
Speculating on these assets and aetherium ecosystem
Because I wanted these projects to do well
I would go in the telegram channels and just give them feedback. Hey, you're not doing this, right?
Hey do this better do this better do this like this
And so one of the founders said hey like jump on a call with me and I thought they wanted to give me
You know to just say hey, sorry
Sorry, we've not been doing things. Well, and we're gonna correct what we've been doing
But it ended up being that they wanted to hire me
So that's how I got my break into crypto around 2016 2017
Um, this is during the icl craze. So been here since working professionally
I worked for renewable energy projects that did peer-to-peer trading between producers and consumers
A renewable energy and then I moved on to zcash
So I was working on a privacy project l1 and then up to zcash. I moved on to eos
So I was also with eos. Yes is actually the
project that raised the biggest
Funds, so there is I believe 4.1 billion in icl funds
Which is a whole other story that i'm not going to go into right now
But yeah, it's just cool to have worked for some of these projects
and then I moved on to work for anoma and namada and I was there ahead of marketing and
Communication so anoma is an intent centric architecture
That's focusing on counterparty discovery solving and settlement and then namada is actually building on the work
That was being done at zcash and they've improved the sapling circuit for asset agnostic
Multi-chain privacy. So yeah, i've been around for a while
And then you know, I kind of realized that I want to work within the cosmos ecosystem
And I know my namada were close to the cosmos ecosystem. Some would argue they are part of the cosmos ecosystem
Um, but I just wanted to be a bit more involved with cosmos SDK like type focused projects
So here I am now at stake cito
I lead marketing governance and business development, which is a lot of hats
But I also don't even like to say that I lead because everything we do at stake cito is really a team effort
So in as much as maybe to the public eye, I might wear the hat
We actually collaborate so much on literally everything
Um, so yeah, it's really cool to be here. I love the team. Honestly speaking
My sister was in town actually this weekend
And she was telling me that she hasn't seen me this happy working for an employer since the renewable energy project
Which was like maybe five years ago
Super happy to be at stake cito and super happy to be contributing to over 14 networks within the cosmos ecosystem
now, I definitely feel like i'm part of the ecosystem part of cosmos and actively contributing
You know a lot of these networks. So yeah, that's me in a very in a nutshell
If you have any questions feel more than free to ask them
People who just joined in that's a great testimonial for
another criteria that you can go for
Choosing a validator is how happy and I cannot decentralize the team is in terms of how how much they like
I think that's that's really cool. I think I can
See how you would want to get also on the validator side because now you can almost oversee
Uh, you are like sort of in touch with all these different sort of
Love it. I actually really love it because now I am the point of contact with these chains
And so i'm getting to know literally everybody in the ecosystem and we validate a lot of networks, right?
So getting to engage with our founders and their marketing people and their bd people
And it's just really awesome to do that because i'm i'm a very social person
So this really just puts me in my natural element. I I love it
No, definitely that that sounds good
And I mean as as like as omniflex being a validator in cosmos as well like
We understand the work that that goes behind
like, you know, not only just keeping the chain secure but also in terms of like, you know building relations and
Especially when it when it's at this scale like, you know
20 million plus as a asset like, you know being staked. Uh, that's that's a big thing
My second question was also, uh, because we are like you'll also see like a creator first platform and
Stacey the off course has a great lineup. I mean you have uh krypto cedar
uh leum who also I think recently joined and
I think like all the members of the team also very regularly put out like
Tutorials walkthroughs they have governance opinions like, you know, everyone's actually have tackled like one
Sort of like piece of pillar of content and they're like really at it. So, uh
from a project that's into decentralized media like
How how are you going about like as and as big validator also?
What I think you have also have like a lot of responsibility in terms of educating the new cosmonauts that are joining
Especially and and also focusing on growing the pile. So how are
How are you going through the whole? Uh, like an educational content and the media about it to be honest
It's actually such a dream to be part of this team because everybody is very creative
So like there's leum there's cito surge or knee. Oh, sorry
Who's on this call? I was also very creepy
I'm so sorry. I literally just docked him. Anyways
Nemos who's our co-founder?
Um, he is also very creative. He puts out tutorials and then I also put out content
And our technical team is also super creative
So like we might have an idea and we don't know how to execute it
And so we bring it up with the team and there'll be a technical solution from the team. That's very creative though
So it's really awesome. And to be honest
There is no like formula like at stake cito for content and creativity. We're all just very chaotically creative
There are things that interest different people and so they cover those different areas
And it kind of just works out that we complement each other very well in the way that we have different strengths and
Our strengths are in the areas of interests that we um kind of share
So yeah, overall in terms of the content that comes out from stake cito
We don't really have a system. Liam does what he wants to do. I kind of do what I want to do
Um, you know nemos will do what he wants to do cito covers cause the cosmos ecosystem more broadly
But then we also do focus on collabing with ecosystem networks that we're validating
And so there then I do maybe play a bit more of a key role in identifying
What are the gaps that they have and how can we fill them?
As a validator so that we are a lot more aligned with the networks that we validate
Um, so yeah, I think that's also one of our strengths
One of the things we've been doing is helping on board people to test nets
We actually we're working very closely with barra chain on this one
And a couple others that not going to necessarily mention
So yeah, we don't necessarily have a system for content and that kind of stuff
But when it comes to marketing, it's very much a case by case basis
So just looking at what is the network?
We're validating. Um, what are their needs or what are the voids that we can see that they have?
And then we reach out to them and we find a solution together. So yeah in a nutshell
We get a lot of compliments on you know
How interactive we are with the community and a lot of people ask, you know, like how do you guys manage to do this?
Um, yeah, there's literally no system
We all have literally access to twitter
So we're all active on twitter including the technical people too
So yeah, there's there's no one person who's like the social media person. There's no one person for content
Um, yeah very decentralized very horizontal style of leadership the ceo will post content
The ceo will post content. I will post content. Everyone does everything. Yeah
That's that's really cool
And also like it's working out great that everyone stands in different formats and different topics is also
Coming through like, you know in addition to it being horizontal because like, you know
Yeah, a lot of rich experience being blended together
Yeah, honestly, it's such a dream like I keep telling them for me being on this team is just so awesome
Very super creative team. Our founder is actually here at the one that I just ducked
He's been uh, like, you know have regularly, uh come to our space at that time
No worries to vinnie. I mean I would say most of the people that can you hear me? Yep. Can you hear me?
All right. No worries. I just move on. I just wanted to say I I guess most people that work with me closely
Um, yes, you know the x platform doing what it does best. Oh, you can hear him. I can hear him
Yeah, i'm not able to uh for some reason it's so funny this happened also with jackal. Um
They tried to kind of like have a space and some people could hear each other and then other people couldn't hear each other. So
He was he was if you want to join in again
Anima's do you want to head out and then come back?
Yeah, I appreciate uh, that really much what uh want to do
No, no worries. No worries. So I think uh
Uh, so my third question the part that you mentioned about
Making the content interactive. I think that that phases it out to uh what I actually wanted to know
State pseudo of course does a bunch of tutorials and I think we are uh
Like, you know a good bull market run getting so many people who are into like, you know
uh going through air draw ups and trying test nets and
Like, you know have exploring upcoming projects so it becomes all the more important to have like, you know verified and good tutorials
I wanted to get your opinion about like how
like a media deep in product works, you know, there are recent events that sort of tie into this which is like, you know, a lot of
crypto and blockchain focused content is not finding its home on youtube at that
there is also like a lot of like, you know, uh
Bot based or like cam activity that happens on on twitter. I think
at least in my perspective it makes uh
Put on fix tv in that positioning really well that it's
A that you can like, you know, really control really as as abhishek mentioned you can get interactions
You can make sure that uh, you're covering the important bits
Secondly is you can make it interactive. So it's educating in in that aspect too. So I wanted to hear what what you think about
Um, so nimas actually was going to step in on this one. Let's see if he can speak if not i'll answer
I'll answer. Hey, can you can everyone hear me this time?
Can you raise your like can someone react if you can hear nimas?
Can anyone hear me? Hello
Okay, and anyone from from the audience? Hey nana. Can you can you hear nimas?
It works we are back we are back sorry for that. I don't know
And yeah, um, yeah, I do to to quickly answer your question. Um
extremely bullish on omly flicks tv and
Coincidentally, we actually were in the process of setting up the official stake pseudo channel the last
You know the the server were down. So, um, we I didn't manage to to finish the process
So as soon as it's back up, um, we will finish that one and I guess um, yeah within this week
We will have stake pseudo channel also on omny flicks tv
We will be uploading some of our important videos from the past but also we will like, you know
Keep it up to date going forward. So that's that's something that I wanted to announce today on this channel
Yeah on this space but generally, I mean obviously I think the strength and decentralized social media is
I mean we have we have seen the story of like what happened to our dear friend liam at stake pseudo, right?
He kind of lost his main channel on youtube
So I think just like diversifying our content to other channels, especially a decentralized one
Is a very good strategy to also have more resilience
Yeah, and I think it also allows a lot of room for experimentation as cisla was talking about this
Gated content, you know, i'm super excited for that one
Just all the possibilities and you know creative ways of how you can engage your community to watch your videos
Um, those are just like a few things I guess on on the benefits
Yeah, I mean I have a lot of feedback i'm probably gonna take um some of it offline
So for me just because i'm kind of new to the ecosystem
I'm discovering all the different offerings as I engaged with a different project
So like I had a call with passage passage. I keep calling them passage, but i've been told their name is passage
Um, I had a call with passage and that was my first point of interaction their platform
And so kind of knowing that I was going to jump on this space
I'm not gonna lie like to be honest. I started to explore omniflex maybe a week
To be honest, um and to be honest I really love the platform. I actually really really love the platform. My feedback is more on
Making the website more cohesive with a user experience
Platform because the platform's actually really great on the website could do some work, but we'll talk about that offline
Um, so yeah, I really think that what you guys are working on is really really cool
There's so many different offerings
And I just I love that you're rewarding creators because for the longest time, you know
Like the central intermediaries have exploited people who create content and then they've been the ones who profited from it
So just being able to decentralize this and engage with people
And then reward people for their contributions is really really awesome
And um, yeah, we have a lot of things that we've planned
Mimas hasn't even mentioned
Many of the ones that we had discussed. I don't know if you want to talk about those
Anima's or should we just surprise them?
Um, you mean generally the things that we plan to do in omniflex going forward
I think we can just drop this one as well
So we were discussing in a team obviously that um, I think it's about time that stake cedar also launches its own nft collection
And not not just like a simple one where everyone receives the same image, you know, but really something something super creative
And um, yeah, I have actually already started working on this and shared some some of the stuff with the team
And yeah, I I guess like within the next I would say roughly a couple months
We will launch also something on omniflex so an own nft collection, but I cannot tell much more because it's still in the process
That's I think that's that's a great, uh
Really added like a highlight to the space really excited about what's to come of course, uh
stake cedar has already had like, you know, the
The badges that were dropped so
Like, you know what comes in terms of the artwork in terms of
I think whatever we can do to in terms of also, uh,
Amplify that lease make sure that more and more it's such a big community. So
Love to make the best out of that and have more and more of like, you know fanatics be part of it
Yeah, for sure. You guys have our like we have a dm, right? So
Anything you need support with I mean for us our goal as validators
Is to ensure that we're supporting the networks that we validate and actually, um, we've been pretty high up there
In terms of ranking, um within the omniflex ecosystem, so your community, you know has placed its trust in us
so more than happy to amplify anything, um that you guys are working on
Because yeah, we're super aligned not just as
A network that we validate but you guys are also creators
And so I feel like you guys get us and we get you and so yeah super happy to support
All right, no, definitely definitely I think uh
Yeah, there's there's so many synergies in terms of uh, what we both
like have to offer to cosmos other than
Uh, just like, you know validators
So I think there's there's a lot of community building that we see from state side also
And I think as more and more people explore cosmos
Like in the coming year coming coming years
You would love to like, you know build tooling and also provide support in any way that the right information
the right guides into their entry way to
Cosmos should do like, you know, and I think validators in a way
act as the first port of entrance here because the first thing if you receive an airdrop or something is that you go stake it and
I think like the right amount of education coming from validators is very important the right amount of branding
Makes ton of difference. So I think that's also our vision that you know validators also are able to
market and do offerings other than
In terms of just like, you know running campaigns and this thing they should also be able to brand they should also be able to
Uh launch an empty connection and make a make the right place for themselves for for the contribution they have in the ecosystem
Along with cxito, uh, like, you know other than the group chats we have uh, we also have a kebab and cosmos 23 collections like chat so
We're very excited for the event
I wasn't in the 2023 one, but i'm definitely gonna be in the one this year
Yeah, so uh, I think my final question in terms of uh
for cxito is also about now that you have
Delegation the size of something that it can
Qualifier category for a project to drop to like, you know, 25 250 days a lot
in terms of say for for cosmos 24 and then we're having the big events where a lot of ecosystems
by themselves are meeting, uh
What what has changed in terms of like positioning about educating them and also marketing yourself as a validator because
It's gone to a range where as I mentioned, like, you know become entry points to the ecosystem
So what has changed about it over the years in your experience in what sense i'm not sure I get the question
Like cxito is such a big value that uh, you at times are almost stepping ecosystem
When when you're going for something like in heat denver or something
In in your experience like what has changed over the years growing cxito as a validator and now basically doing
And uh, so that you're you're in some sense are basically tapping the ecosystem
So how how's the the journey been from validator to being like also like a content out and then now?
Like where you are at right now, I feel like that's more anema's question because i've only been at cxito for literally two months
Yeah, I will try to take to take it
I think it's not a not such a simple question to be honest
But I mean you're right a lot has changed right and cxito exists now for I would say
Three and a half like almost four years something like that
And um, we obviously started off as a small validator, you know crip procedure just had a very small youtube channel back then
Um, you know, we we didn't have much capacity to do to do a lot of those things that we do nowadays
Like we simply started to focus just just on the content side of things and like be very focused on that and also scale
And one of those um, yeah activities were basically also, you know launching something like cosmoverse. This was like cryptoseidus idea
And obviously cosmoverse also started smaller in lisbon back then and grew to a very very large conference
And I think even this year in dubai it will probably you know exceed all the expectations
Other than that, I mean, I think cosmos just generally received much more recognition also going to other events these days
People like know about it talk about it. I really interested
Yeah, really glad to see this this change
Yeah, I think your pitching has also must have changed like, you know, I I remember when like
earlier cryptoseidus video where she used to plug and also mentioned about like, you know staking
in cosmos for atom or any like, you know other projects that we started validating to
And it's to be a very like newfound account and now it's it's basically expanded across ecosystems
So it's it's made and big and um, I think uh cosmos dubai is the perfect stage for also
Having cosmos being explored by these projects who are a lot of them who are actually
like, you know based in dubai for
This a lot of responsibility this year on cosmonauts also to to be really repping
the ecosystem the like, you know, uh interchanged really well
I also see live in the audience. I was literally just gonna say maybe you should jump up and say something
If if he's out there, I mean we have had Liam
Post flip stock. So he's he's not
New to our spaces. I think I just dropped off though
Uh anyone has any question, um with stake cito with nimus and when you're here
Um, I had some like audio issues, uh when I first joined so I didn't really hear anything except for the end of
The conversation about rejoining. Um, but how's everyone doing? It's good to be back
Uh, shout out to people like sandy cisla
Um yourself, of course, uh jayton and everyone it's just good to see everyone again. How are you doing?
All good, all good, uh, really happy to have you back
Like, you know making a cameo appearance here and with your team, which is even
Oh, how how have you been?
Yeah busy busy, um stake cito is kind of
I guess we've just been doing a lot more recently. We've got winnie joining the team
She's been like an engine
uh, like, you know, obviously, uh search or nimus as you see him on the screen's been busy with like a lot of
Order, I guess ordinal equivalence on uh, the cosmos hub. So yeah, we've been we've been super busy, you know
There's a lot of chains. There's a lot of developments. It's like a full-blown ball market
It's a lot of uh, a lot of work
Yeah, we work monday to sunday basically
You know, uh, definitely I see but always go to a here from the of like, you know, uh
With omnivics also we go way back. So always always nice to have like a cameo appearance here
And we are looking forward to more and more like, you know tutorials on your side of course, uh
I have sandy here, uh sandy please go ahead if you want to ask a question or share something
Good morning. Good evening friends. Um
I came up here to say congratulations and uh, wish everybody a happy spring
And also to thank the omniflix as well as cryptocurrency. There's so much technical
Um work involved and uh, and I know we as creators freak out when one day we can't get on the system
It we're so used to everything working so well. So my dms fill up. What's wrong? Why can't I upload and um
So we get through that and and I just also want to acknowledge that we have an amazing woman
Winnie who's been in the crypto realm for a long time. Um,
Sometimes there's very offensive, uh marketing things like let's make a perfume
So women will be more interested. Why aren't women in christo, right?
So here we are all these women and we're like, well, where are we we're in crypto. We're kicking ass
And so, um, I don't know how that happens, but I don't know how those big
marketing projects get through the okay, but I know somebody's gonna get fired so
Anyway that being said, um
We're it people always say good morning. Good morning. We're early. I think we need to change. We're not early anymore
Now we're on time. So anybody that's coming in is now on time
We're past the early stage. We've all been scammed hacked and whatever and now
Now we're here and we have a huge community like
Stixedo and liam were way back in the day making their youtube videos trying to educate us about crypto
And uh, I I would have to say that out of all the youtube material that was out there
Their content was the most useful and educational. So let me just start from there
I wouldn't even be in this realm if it was not for all the videos stixedo and liam created
Um, so that being said I just i'm so happy that you're doing successful and and you know what?
There's a huge huge need for us to educate
Numbers of nft artists and you all know what i'm talking about
We have this very big number of nft artists who are not literate about staking about d5 and about any of that
So, um, I just want to say get ready
It's going to be really huge especially with this bitcoin and that's why I started this crypto canvas
Project because I i'm on both sides of the fence. So this friday we're gonna blow it up
Um, it's the persian new year. So I want to congratulate everybody and not only are we going to be buying art
We're just going to be buying art and we're going to do giveaways
And we're going to be buying art on different blockchains as well because one of the things I realized that's actually happening in the cosmos ecosystem
Everything's coming together on omniflex the cosmos ecosystem is great
But if you want to find out about the cosmos ecosystem you go to omniflex tv, right akash
Secret everything you need. Um, this is going to be really huge and that's why i'm really excited about these updates because
Yeah, I I don't want to deal with spam. I don't want to give all my nfts away
I only want to give them to the people who interact with my videos
So i'm a bit long-winded. I apologize, but i'm really excited about this space because it's persian new year
My favorite people are here
And finally finally finally
After all the time i've been going on and on about omniflex people are paying attention and the cosmos greater ecosystem
And there's a few jealous birds who feel like they missed out because a lot of the og artists
Got rewarded on omniflex for being og. Let me just tell you all it's not late. You're on time
There's still plenty of time to grow and build your brand with the cosmos ecosystem and omniflex is kicking butt
Thank you so much back to you host
And i'm just gonna add to what she said actually because as I was exploring omniflex even last night
I considered launching my own. I know like as takesito we're planning to launch a
An nft collection, but just looking at all the art on there
I considered doing something of my own like just a winnie specific collection
So yeah, I know super pumped to get on there and get stuff done and i'm happy to know i'm not late. I'm on time
No, definitely agree with everything sani said there quick question winnie if you were to
Launch a collection right now. What would you name it? I'm not gonna tell you because then someone's gonna name it that
I want to do like a rapid fire sort of thing, but I definitely understand
I think you should you should say that idea and publish it. Uh
Uh, we also have uh dina here. Hi, nina. How have you been? Hey guys
I'm good. Good morning. However, I had so much coffee like this is this is not healthy anymore
So i'm sorry if i'm speaking like super fast
I'm about to run a marathon really
Uh guys, I just wanted to say hi and I wanted to say that I love all the work that you guys have been doing
both omni flakes and steak cito
It's it's amazing really like I I feel that we have been talking for a while
That there is a need to get to the final user
um, and finally we're paying uh attention to that and a big part of
That it's being done by omni flakes and by steak cito by liam by krypto cito
Um, so yeah, I just want to say to say congratulations
Uh, i'm so happy that we need in the team. I can see her personality through steak cito
Uh, I remember I met her last year in istanbul
I was like, yes, she's going to be my friend like she gets me. We were super lost
Um, so so yeah, that's it. I just wanted to say hi and congratulations guys keep doing what you're doing
Yeah, that's true. I remember we were so lost we couldn't find the elevator
And we went and we got help and then we bumped into brian from cause one actually and then we went up the
With him, yeah, he was like, of course you you two are lost
Uh, no, thank you for the kind words neither there and uh, of course, you're very thankful
Uh, you're you're such a great ambassador for cosmos and cosmos is months away
So of course like, you know, we're gonna we're looking forward
to uh, another great, uh, like, you know, three four day long event
and hoping that it it like, you know, it breaks all our previous records and
It gets the attention it needs. So of course, you know counting counting weeks at this point
Uh to cosmos 24. I think uh
Vinnie would you like to share anything any closing thoughts? Uh for people in the audience who still haven't
Gone explored stakes either
Not much. I do need to drop up in five minutes
But the only thing that i'd say maybe you guys should keep your eyes peeled for
Is we are actually working on kind of revamping the brand to just polish it a bit as we grow
Um, we feel that the brand needs to slowly start reflecting that growth and just be a bit more clean polished
So yeah, keep your eyes peeled. We are working on some really cool stuff that I don't want to spoil for you right now
Um, but uh, yeah, there will be some updates to the brand stakes. These are the namals day
um, but the just the look and the feel of the brand might
Change over the next couple of weeks
That sounds amazing is the uh site for uh,
Just a quick thank you one of the amazing things stake cedar did way back in the day is he airdropped nfts
Staking on um, well, you know, they were staking with
Stake cedar validator that was way way back like a long time ago
And yeah, I see joseph recognize that so I just want to say that was such a brilliant idea
Um back then we didn't have the I don't you know, it was way in the beginning of the omniflex
Okay, leon i'm gonna let you talk. Go ahead, please
Sorry sandy, I was actually gonna just raise my hand for after you've finished but um
Yeah, we were actually thinking of like dropping like more nfts like recently
You know it we actually realized like that whole
process of like dropping a bunch of nfts and rewarding like
Holders, it's actually a lot harder than
It it initially seems right like, um, I know we did that initial drop
Oh, that was awesome. It was great to get them all out and I think we like teased it a while back
So, um, I know it's probably a few people might still remember that
Um that kind of like thing we tease, um, but it's just been like
It's actually really hard to coordinate all of that
you know, you've got to kind of find like resources in your dev team to go and like
Build like apps or build like mechanisms if there's any on-chain actions that need to be done
And like yeah, we just never kind of got further with that idea
But um, yeah, I definitely love that we did it initially. So um, yeah, I just really wanted to quickly mention that um
That's always something we're like thinking about. Um
Like as winnietes like we've been looking into like nft collections and stuff as well
I think it's like too early to really promise like anything. That's one thing i've learned like over time is like
We have like these amazing ideas, but sometimes they just don't
materialize there's always like challenges there's reasons maybe there's not enough resources maybe
Like a bear market just hits and you just like oh, okay. I guess
We have to scale down what we do
So, um, yeah, we always have stuff in the pipeline, but um
Hopefully we can add more value and sorry to interrupt you sandy. It was really just to kind of
Mention the nft part because I know we teased like a few other nfts more recently, but that's uh, that's more on the back burner
Uh for now at least like the badge the badge idea we had uh, probably back in like january
Maybe even like end of last year. So yeah, just wanted to clarify around that
Well, that just makes it more special the ones that we already received
So that makes those rare and super special is what that does now that I understand how difficult that is
Well, thank you very much. I appreciate it. And uh, and and I just want to give a shout out also to flight farms
He's not here. Um, a lot of the traditional artists are finding the collaboration
Um is happening really well on omniflex. So thanks everybody. Have a great rest of your evening
And uh, thanks for doing everything you're doing back to your host
Thanks, everybody i'm gonna have to drop off to
No, that's uh, that's I think we'll create like good times in terms of closing the space also
Uh, thank you vinny and nimas and liam from the stakes either tease for coming and basically helping
The whole team and sharing all your thoughts opinions and also teases about what's coming
Uh, this was uh, this made the episode like, you know, of course really special
And thank you to nida and sandy also for coming and sharing your thoughts. It's really exciting for what's to come
Really excited for cosmos though by this year
Uh, yep, the future is interchanged
Um, i'll be ending the space now. Thank you all for taking all the time and I wish you all a great week
