I'm also cash broke but rich with NFTs and crypto, so good track there, good track there.
How are you doing today, Jayton?
Pretty excited for the space.
I think overall, the sentiment in Cosmos is sort of improving, so that's a good sign.
And I also saw your friend tape thing that you shared recently.
I haven't interacted with that project.
Yeah, really cool to see that, by the way.
Obviously, since the YouTube channel has been banned permanently, I'm just trying out some different stuff.
I thought I'd get a portfolio going for people to follow and add more value.
But at the end of the day, like, friends tech's payable, so there'll still be plenty of updates on Twitter.
I'll still be here on the OmniFlix spaces and stuff as well.
So, yeah, looking forward to that today.
I'm sure we've got a lot of updates for everyone.
And that reminded me of the Coin Bureau thing, like, in his emailers when he started early, he used to share their location.
And, like, I think people really like looking at, like, you know, transparent stuff like that.
Okay, so I'm all really excited for all the updates we're going to reveal and to talk about stuff.
How are things on your end?
Yeah, everything here is, like, pretty good, aside from the YouTube ban, of course.
You know, like you said, things are looking up in crypto and Cosmos.
So everyone's feeling pretty bullish, hopefully not too euphoric, given, like, the recent price action.
And, yeah, I wonder if we are on, like, the cusp of, like, a new bull market or if we're all going to kind of get rugged and the liquidity leaves.
We'll have to see what happens, but definitely an optimistic time.
And I think we can see that with, like, the number of people in the space already today.
Hopefully we're going to get more traction on here as well.
I think we can get started with Supar's update from Fanatics.
I'm one of the Fanatics from Flix, Fanatics, Community SubDAO from Omniflix.
And we will be starting now with the updates from the subDAO and some more extra updates from my end about Omniflix and Flix because I am a fanatic.
So there are a lot of things, you know, I look at when I'm in Omniflix ecosystem.
So let's talk about what the subDAO was up to in the past one week since we met for FlixTalk 91.
We definitely dropped FlixFam badge for all the participants who correctly answered and selected the secret phase for last week's space.
And we will be doing the same for this week, too.
But do remember, the cutoff to claim your proof of participation NFT for the space will be 5 p.m. UTC.
That's three hours from the time this space started.
And this week's secret phase is very special.
That's why I'm going to start with that and then move to the updates.
Well, nothing as such an alpha.
But what happened was recently, one of my friends asked me about what is the easiest way of using the Omniflix marketplace and maybe, you know, give him two or three steps to make sure that he uses it better than most of the other people.
And coincidentally, what I mentioned was as simple as A, B, and C.
A for auction, you can try auctions where you might be able to get some relief and good offers on some of the NFTs you were eyeing.
And sometimes, no, I'm not sure why, but sometimes you really get some great deals which are unbelievable in auctions.
So that is one, A. And B was for bulk listing, where, you know, if you have a lot of NFTs, you would be now able to list those NFTs in bulk from your wallet.
You can even transfer an NFTs in case you are going to set up a new wallet.
You don't have to transfer each NFT on the new wallet.
Or even if you are a creator and you want to drop NFTs, you can just mint and drop in bulk, of course.
So the B was a bulk listing and C was campaign.
Something, I suppose, still a lot of people are missing out.
Even during Halloween, I could see that there were so many campaigns for different NFTs that you were holding.
And just for holding those NFTs, you were getting rewarded with Flix tokens.
You were getting rewarded with NFTs.
Even if you are part of our Flix Fanatics activities, you would have noticed that a lot of things happen via campaign.
So, you know, make sure that you do check the campaign.
Do check the auction page at least once a week, if not more regularly.
At least once a week, check the auctions page, what new offers are there.
Check the campaigns page, what new campaigns are there.
And you would be surprised about what kind of opportunities you will be able to find on OmniFlix and Marketplace.
So, that is the secret phase, which is ABC is equal to auction, bulk listing, and campaigns.
This is for the Marketplace.
All right, moving on now to some updates.
And the biggest update was the Flix Friday, where we asked our members to tip on the interactive videos by our creators.
And some of them were really amazing.
They tipped 100 videos, which was all the videos on OmniFlix TV.
Probably that was a catch to make sure that you do win.
And the top five were rewarded with 2,000 Flix tokens.
But it did not end there.
The videos who got tipped the most, who were able to attract the most tips, were also rewarded.
So, top three videos got 100 Flix tokens each, over and above the other Flix chips they got.
And this is not ended with Flix Friday.
You can still tip the favorite creator, tip your favorite video.
You can just probably, you know, go check an interactive video.
And if you like what you see, tip some Flix tokens.
Even if you like a creator, you might be able to go on the channel's options and tip the creator directly.
Even when you're claiming your proof of participation NFT created by Flix fanatics, you can even tip us.
You know, those Flix will be going back to the community with our different activities.
But this was just Flix Friday.
There were, of course, other activities where our community was involved and we were rewarding them for the interaction and participation.
And that was whether it was about the quizzes, which happened on Saturday and Sunday.
We do have quiz on Saturday on Telegram and a quiz round on Sunday on Discord.
And there were two winners for each quiz and each of them got 50 Flix tokens and NFT from Flix fanatics and also a Flix fan batch.
So, they were rewarded quite well and we are planning to continue to do that.
So, make sure that you do set your alarms for 1400 hours UDC, the same time this place was today.
And come to Telegram on Saturday and come to Discord on Sunday.
Highly recommended that you participate in both the rounds to maximize your chance on winning the quiz rounds.
Now, this is about what we were doing.
But, you know, it's not going to end.
The fun is not going to end.
It's not just end of the month when we are rewarding all the FlixFam batch holders.
That being said, 200 claims happened for October.
This is an alpha for everyone who is here right now.
We all know that the month will be ending with a Thanksgiving day.
And the Flix Fanatics subdom is planning something special, which we will be announcing on the 10th day of tomorrow.
But just to give you a basic alpha there, what you need to do is just mint a new NFT from our marketplace, gift it to someone with a thank you, and share that NFT information on a Google form we will share you.
So, end of the month, we will be selecting some winners and rewarding them.
But details about the rewards, details about everything will be released the day of tomorrow.
So, keep an eye on Flix Fanatics Twitter account.
So, this was about what the Flix Fanatics were doing, but just before I give the sage back, I realized that in November, we are really doing, the Flix token itself is doing quite well.
And since we are a community subdom and community members, everyone loves the prize action and the token action.
So, something about that, about the token, Flix tokens and the blockchain, and that is that we crossed 2 million transactions in November, on-chain transactions in November.
And this is thanks to all the community members, Flix Fan, and creators, NFT collectors, interactive video watchers.
And we are soon approaching 10 million block height.
And this is a big thank you to all the validators who have been consistently validating each block of OmniFlix and making sure that the chain is always active.
Last, but not the least, is a request, a recommendation, or a suggestion from a fanatic.
Guys, Flix token is still only 15.18% token are bonded, and it's still earning more than 100% with 75% price appreciation since the last time we met for a Flix talk.
So, make sure that you do stake your Flix tokens, and maybe even re-stake your Flix token rewards, because you will not be just earning Flix, but also Atom, Osmo, Akash, Juno, Huawei, some ISG, some USCC.
Now, this is the best way of securing a good portfolio for the bull run.
So, make sure that you do stake your Flix tokens, collect some NFTs, gift it to someone, and keep participating in our subDAO activities.
Thank you, but I will be around and might come back soon.
Thank you for dropping some campaign alphas, and for sort of bringing back whatever utilities that FlixFam offers, that I think some of the audience members might be missing on, but it's not too late.
Liam, any comments to add before?
Yeah, just a huge shout out to Super and the FlixFam for being really consistent with everything that they're doing for the community.
So, every week, you know, whenever Super comes on to FlixTalk and shares his updates, it's always about the quizzes that people can participate in.
It's always about the campaigns that are going on, the rewards people can earn, the NFTs people can get.
So, yeah, huge shout out on that front, and if people are listening in and want a way to get involved with the community, I think that's a great place to start.
So, definitely listen to Super when he's sharing those updates.
Yeah, I think we can move on to the next section here on the space.
Yeah, I think, yeah, I see the Spark IVC channel here, and hey, hi guys, how are you guys doing?
Doing well, glad to be here.
Pretty good, pretty good.
So, is this Tenderman Timmy from the Handel?
Yes, this is Timmy speaking.
So, I think we had, I think you were there two months back on Conversations with Jack, the last time I heard from you.
There was, I think, Season 3, Episode 3, and this is, like, a great revisit on, like, another space where analytics is enrolled.
So, just, like, glad to have you back.
Great to be back, thank you.
It was awesome to come back from NFT Nashville, and one of the first things I saw was a message from you guys, wanting to have us on.
I was like, awesome, let's jump right back into it.
Definitely, you know, that was a really cool event that I did.
I think Tank's also there in the audience.
So, just a shout out there.
But, would you like to share, like, since it's, like, the most recent event that has happened, what were your impressions of that?
How was it having, like, you know, an IRL event, especially involving, like, so many Cosmos projects, and doing that in Nashville, like, the whole vibe?
So, it was my first in-person crypto event, which definitely, not taints, frames my perspective in a certain way, because it was definitely a smaller one.
I think a lot of people's first experience might have been with, you know, a large ETH conference or Bitcoin conference or Cosmoverse, even.
But, it was on the smaller side, but perfectly planned for, like, the venue is the perfect size for the participants.
Meeting people and putting faces to names and voices from the internet was awesome.
Really enjoyed meeting, like, every single person there.
Just sort of reinforced my belief that I'm in the right community here.
And, even if not, I don't want to go anywhere else.
And, both the meeting of people aspect and the conference itself of getting peeks into projects and just seeing some of that, like, passion and energy in person.
Like, in particular, at one point, Eric from the Astro Vault team was up on stage just really getting into it.
And I had to pull out my phone and do a little film, because it was just, it was such good energy, you know.
So, I'll definitely be, I wasn't avoiding them in any way, but I will definitely be making an extra effort to come to more conferences and in-person events in the future.
And, hopefully, with some spark and InterchainInfo involvement at some point.
I love that, Jimmy, by the way.
I feel like once you go to your first conference, you realize, like, how hard you're, like, connecting with people are, or is, sorry.
And, it's just, like, a wonderful experience from my experience, personally, as well.
So, like, really well done for going to NFC Nashville and everything.
And, the more, like, conferences we can make accessible to everyday community members, the better.
Yeah, I wish, uh, we couldn't have fit many more people, but that's my only single complaint, is wish there could have been more to meet, because it was just a blast meeting everyone.
So, everyone who couldn't make it, I was like, oh, you know, wish Finn was here, wish Sisla was here, Liam, except, like, there were so many names that came up at various parts.
Like, oh, it'd be great if we see him.
But, yeah, at the next one, hopefully.
Oh, and Liam, too, we haven't spoken in a minute, but just huge, you know, heart goes out to you in a way.
I lost, when I was doing video editing a few years back, is my main thing, I lost an Instagram page I had with, like, 3,000 followers.
Nothing the size of your YouTube.
That was something I had, like, worked and then built up, or built up over time.
So, um, really sorry to hear about the YouTube stuff.
We're going into an interesting time with these social media platforms.
All the more reason for something like OmniFlix to take the throne.
And, um, yeah, it's, it's weird putting the emotional connection to, like, the philosophical values I've kind of had for a long time.
Around, like, censorship and de-platforming and stuff like this.
Um, I think, if anything, it's just a great reminder.
Like, looking at it like a silver lining, that is.
It's, like, a great reminder, like, for me personally and for everyone else.
And, like, why we're here, like, on decentralized systems, like OmniFlix.
While, why we're running, like, conferences, like NFC Nashville and Cosmoverse.
Because we need to kind of, like, open people's eyes to the world, in a way.
And, like, what's happening out there.
And, like, how people can solve issues they're facing with, with censorship or, um, opaque systems.
Or anything like that, centralization.
Uh, really, really was an eye-opener.
And, uh, yeah, thanks for the condolences.
But it's definitely been a minute.
Like you say, we haven't spoken in a while.
So, I'm looking forward to hearing a bit more about Interchain Info and how that's going.
So, I think, uh, a great start would be, if we could just share with the, like, you know, FlixFam.
Those who are not aware about, like, you know.
I think those who have seen some projects of Spark IBC.
Uh, some of the platforms under, that comes under it.
But are not actually aware that they come as part of the Spark IBC program.
So that, like, you know, a lot of them can, uh, just, like, know in detail about this.
And they can follow the project better.
So, um, I'll keep this pretty brief.
Because I know some people probably heard our backstory a bit.
Um, Spark IBC.zone, um, the website and the D app built on Juno.
Was originally a very small project that me and one of my real life friends started.
I was a passionate crypto person and cosmonaut who had gotten him into crypto in the past couple of years.
Um, and we just had this idea for kind of a simple, basic framework for a funding platform.
It could go the direction of a launchpad, charity, um, but just somewhere where efforts could be crowdsourced.
Something like Patreon, Kickstarter, etc.
Um, so we got that up live and running, sort of in its basic form.
Um, and then somewhere along there, I became good friends with and met the person that was running the Airdrops One account.
And he has a lot of business experience, um, has a team of developers that works under him.
Um, so he had heard me talking about the idea for Interchain Info and the general concept of turning Spark into a family of products,
of which Spark IBC and Interchain Info would be too.
And so we kind of, after talking for a while and working together, uh, decided to, like, fully start on Interchain Info,
co-found that together, build it out, add Airdrops One to the Spark family.
Um, and so what Interchain Info is, is something I think is definitely crucial.
I think Spark is very cool.
We're doing some development stuff on it now, and we have been, but it's still slightly less prioritized, in my opinion.
Um, because I think, especially as we're seeing maybe the bull market come back and sentiment turn around in this last week or two,
I'm very glad that we put the time in we did during the bear market to get Interchain Info to where it is.
Because what Interchain Info is, is an intuitive, sort of familiar, Web2-ish feeling way of exploring and learning about crypto.
Uh, very focused on Cosmos right now, Interchain Info, but we do want to make it a broad thing eventually with community help.
Um, in Interchain Info, we have the index, which is like a Wikipedia of crypto.
So there are pages on everything from content creators, like you, Liam, and Tank in the audience there,
to chains, protocols, validators, uh, and even just technical terms.
So, like, the Cosmos SDK is in there, Tenderman's in there.
Um, so that's just sort of an all-in-one, and it operates like Wikipedia in that I think biggest message I want to get out here is
we want the community's help in maintaining that.
Um, eventually as we grow, we don't really want to have much of a hand in maintaining it, except for oversight, um, and, like, revisions and stuff.
So if your project is already on there, which it probably is, we've had, we have at least a thousand entries in the index, I think.
Um, check out its page, see if it's up-to-date and accurate.
If not, you can click on the little pencil in the corner and update it and submit a revision.
And if your page isn't on there at all, um, you should see multiple UI elements on various different parts of the site
that'll let you add new pages.
Um, so that's sort of where we're at.
That's where a lot of our focus has been.
Um, there's other parts to Interchain Info, uh, but we can get into those, I think.
Like, that's good for a sort of intro and premise, or context, rather.
Uh, I think, uh, yeah, for those who have not had the opportunity to check it, it's a really cool index.
I, I think, uh, new projects that are...
...it, uh, validator, a small project, dApp.
Yeah, you cut out for a second, but you're back now and all good.
Um, yeah, so, uh, for those who have not had the opportunity to, like, check it out, or...
And, uh, if you, if you are associated with the project, know of a creator who can actually get listed
on this Rep3 Wikipedia of sorts for Cosmos, you can submit, like, you know, an entry in
the index, and you can officially be on as part of this thing.
So, yeah, please refer to projects for people you already know who are not listed on this
I think it's a, it's a great opportunity to be, like, you know, properly, I'd be identified
as a member of the system.
I'll, I'll shout out one other quick thing.
So, when we say it works like Wikipedia, um, we really mean that in that anyone can submit
Um, and, and I'll, I'll kind of touch on how we keep that safe in a second, but if you're
just a Flix fanatic, you're not part of the OmniFlix team, but you, like, want to help,
you are excited about a new update you read, you can also go to their page on the index and
edit the page, throw in a little section about that update or whatever, uh, whatever project
you really care about and want to support, this is a great way to do it.
Um, just think about Wikipedia, right?
It's literally maintained by just people who are passionate about those subjects.
It's, it's kind of a beautiful thing.
Um, and then the one thing I'll note there for project creators and, like, runner, uh,
founders who get worried when hearing that, it is not totally open when people make submissions.
Us at the ICI team do review them before going live.
We are not doing, like, deep fact-checking of numbers, but we are just making sure no
one's, uh, you know, doing phishing attacks, swapping links, uh, destroying other people's
pages, uh, adding something just really low quality, anything like that.
We kind of have a basic level of safety that we kind of overview, but, um, other than that,
yeah, we, we really encourage not just projects, but the community members and users of those
projects to help keep their favorite stuff updated.
And that'll help bring more users to them and bring those users confidence in using those
projects and just pay off for everyone in the long run.
That's, that's, that's super cool.
Um, and I think I just saw Super, uh, put like a hundred emojis.
I'm pretty sure he'll be making a lot of submissions for Omniflix today.
Uh, just a, just a shout out to him.
So, um, I actually wanted to, uh, check on one more thing, uh, which is, uh, I saw this
feature on Spark IBC website about a personalized dashboard that users can have, uh, where like
you can subscribe to a bunch of projects and you will be seeing like dedicated news for
I mean, of course, this depends on, uh, all the projects also like, you know, updating
the database, like very religiously and like, you know, how we sort of do that.
Um, but, uh, what is the timeline we're looking at?
Because that's a really cool, basically, uh, newsletter dashboard thing.
So this actually, I didn't touch on it cause I think thought it deserved its own little
So thank you so much for asking that question.
This is the part we are most excited about by far.
Um, especially me and I've always had the philosophy that you should build something you want to
Like that's one of the things you shouldn't build it just for you, but if you're not excited
about what you're building, there's probably something wrong.
And since I've been in web three to some extent, like even back in the early days of Ethereum,
but especially here in cosmos, the number one sort of frustrating thing is fragmentation
just in a single word where even on one network, sometimes even for one D app or protocol in
order to do certain things, I have to have multiple tabs open.
Um, sometimes I have to use multiple wallets that that's been remedied a lot.
Uh, lately, there are some wallets that are really good at multi-chain support.
Um, I recommend people like check out XdeFi if you want to do stuff outside of cosmos, but
still access your cosmos stuff cause Kepler can't touch non-cosmos chains.
Um, but so the dashboard is this thing I've kind of had as some kind of vision for a long
And we finally, I finally found a place to bring it to life in inner chain info.
So it not actually part of sparkibc.zone, but, um, as part of inner chain.info, there
will be a whole section of the site.
Um, the only wallet connected portion that's really web three centric.
So you go to the dashboard, you connect with your wallet and it loads up your customized
We call the modules, but just to easily put a picture in people's mind, think sort of
widgetized versions of your favorite D apps.
So there might be an OmniFlix widget you can add that just lets you search through collections
There might be a generic or not generic.
There might be, there will be a restake and yield most module you can add for managing
staking just across all chains.
Um, osmosis, you know, off chain tools too, like Hubble tools, um, which is like analytics
You'll be able to add these things, customize your layout, the ones that you care about that
you want to use on the daily.
Um, it'll be up to the developers that build these widgets, how much of that D apps functionality
Some D apps may have a hundred percent of their functionality in the widget.
Some may only have their core features and have a quick link to hop to the full site to
Um, and so timeline and where we are for that, actually I'll touch on two other cool parts
just cause I think they are great.
Um, along with that, the one module we widget will be maintaining ourselves and building is
Um, and it's really just a visual transaction builder.
So it's inspired by something on Ethereum called Fura Combo, F-U-R-U Combo, which is mainly
That's not what we're targeting.
We're actually going to prevent that and eventually let that happen only through white whale stuff.
Um, but it's just a, it's somewhere where you can build out visually a transaction that
would be claim stars staking rewards, send to osmosis, swap into Atom, send Atom to the
You could just build that out visually, intuitively.
Um, someone who's new to Web3 who only just knows of these terms, they don't really know
where to like find and do it in the wallet and go to all these different sites.
They just build that out, click submit.
Uh, currently that'll be one or two wallet pop-ups or two or three for each of the chains
involved, but hopefully just one in future.
So, um, that's like a persistent main thing that we're building that everyone will have
But other than that, um, the sort of status of where we're at and timeline is more or
less actually ready to rumble with developers.
So for our modules and SDKs, we've developed, or for our modules slash widgets, we've developed
And so currently we've actually been reaching out to teams, asking them to kind of join beta
testing with us saying, Hey, our SDK is ready.
We'd love to have you be one of the first, um, modules on, on the dashboard.
And we're absolutely looking for people who are interested in doing that.
Um, with the current market condition, things kind of getting hectic while recently being
slow and money being tight.
Uh, a lot of teams don't have the bandwidth, so that's totally like understandable, but
if anyone listening, or if you want to message any developers of your favorite projects, we
are right now looking for projects that want to try out our SDK, build a widget for that
And as soon as we get a couple of those built out and ready, we're going to go into an open
beta where people can start playing with it.
So on our end, we're more or less ready.
We're actually now just looking for, um, some of those actual widgets to be built.
Um, and we have currently applied for funding to the AA DAO.
Uh, and as part of that, if we get that funding, part of that funding will go towards building
modules for a number of projects in the AEZ.
So like a stride module, um, that sort of thing.
Um, but yeah, please shoot us a message.
Um, this goes for everyone listening, but also the OmniFlix team, you know, we'd love to
get an OmniFlix widget on there.
Um, maybe even multiple, depending on what you guys want to do, we can, we can chat about
it, but that's where we're at.
So knock on wood, hopefully the dashboard will be available, um, to the public in not too long.
That's amazing also, because, uh, you're, I think the part about the different ecosystems
and projects being fashionized and it's difficult to bring all the information together.
That's, that's the real thing we see.
I mean, uh, you did mention on, um, um, um, like, you know, in conversations with Jack
episode also that, you know, like Cosmos is really good.
Like we've got some great Inferra builders and I think, uh, we are slowly heading towards
like good application builders now.
I think this is like one of those, uh, things that we've got to do in terms of, uh, improving
And everyone's able to get like a synthesis of all the information on, on one, um, like
And everything is tied together too.
So, um, let's say you're brand new to the Cosmos and you're just looking for NFT stuff.
You might start in the index, go to the NFTs category.
Um, see what catches your eye there.
Uh, let's say you end up on the OmniFlix page, not only, uh, under the info on your
index page, there will be links and previews to any OmniFlix related resources we have.
So articles, videos, that sort of thing.
Um, but also if you have a dashboard module, there'll be a button to just one click, add
that and hop over to the dashboard.
So everything's connected.
So whether you're finding a new project on the dashboard by looking through the list of
modules, and then you're like, Oh, what is this?
Let me go look in the index or vice versa.
Um, it's really just meant to be a holistic, intuitive, frictionless experience, um, that
benefits both the end user and the people building apps that want to reach more users.
That's, that's super cool.
Liam, do you want to add something?
I mean, like I actually have like a lot of like specific questions.
Uh, cause I think from what you're saying, uh, Timmy, like what you're building is very
like broad actually, um, which must make it quite difficult to prioritize what parts to
like develop and push forward.
Cause then you, you have like the index, the wiki function, you have the donation page,
which may be a little bit separate, right?
But you have the wiki function, uh, so you can search up like different bits of information.
That information has got to be put on, um, interchain info by the community or by teams.
Um, and then you also like have this dashboard where you can get widgets and you can get
off chain tools and you can like personalize layouts and stuff.
Um, what do you think is like the most key component to push out initially that's going
to get people, uh, to use it, uh, the most kind of thing?
Like I'm trying to think like, do you have like a particular part of it that's really
going to be like, yeah, I think as far as user retention and hooking a user on the first
go, um, I, we think the dashboard is going to do that.
The dashboard is nothing too crazy and innovative.
I mean, it looks beautiful, but it's nothing like reinventing the wheel.
It just works and it just makes sense.
And I think it's the kind of thing where whether you are a veteran user or a new user, this
is sort of the two different groups that we both want to appeal to, but that we recognize
Um, the dashboard has an appeal for you because as a new user, it's just less overwhelming.
Um, it feels far more like you're just adding widgets to your phone screen and exploring,
you know, new apps in an app store that you don't know about, but that's at least familiar.
Um, they're in one place.
They, you've connected your wallet.
Um, and if you're an experienced user, you already know the various apps that you use
every day or however often.
Um, and now just being able to manage and do most of that stuff in less time, more ease,
uh, and just a more cohesive manner.
I think the dashboard is what's really going to hook people.
Um, super long term though, the index has, um, a really big potential impact.
So one thing I didn't mention about the index is we're already working with one project and
we're in talks with two others.
Um, one being a very large one, um, to kind of set up integration.
So the one project we already have it live with is dev three maps.
If you guys aren't familiar with them, they're kind of new, but a really awesome team.
They're a project that think of something like Dune or Hubble tools, like any kind of analytic
platform, but for developer activity.
Um, so you can look at OmniFlix as a chain and Dapp.
Uh, I think mainly they're supporting chains right now.
They're going to be adding Dapps later, but it'll give you insights into active developers,
pull requests, stars, uh, changes over time, that sort of thing.
Um, so really cool project.
Just want to give them a shout out.
But one thing they're doing, they're the first to do that we want to do with many other projects
is when you go to a chain on their site, like OmniFlix, instead of them or you guys having
to maintain the links and the information there about OmniFlix, they're just pulling from us.
And we're in, like I said, in talks with two other projects, one, a very large one,
I don't want to name yet, um, to do similar things with, again, the end goal of just making
This case, mainly the devs.
You guys, project builders want to spend time, even if you're not a dev, if you're
building a project, you want to spend time, uh, actively marketing, writing tweets, hosting
If you're a developer, you want to be coding.
You don't want to be entering information about your project on third party sites every
So the idea is interchain info will be the hub, the home, the one place you have to think
about and maintain that your community can help you maintain.
You know, a lot of communities have like discord mods, people who aren't team members, but
trusted, they, they can kind of be given a task of keep this updated.
And suddenly you'll be updated across, you know, various sites everywhere.
And just again, frictionless.
Um, this is not one of the people we're talking with, but for example, it'd be awesome to partner
So right now they, some chains, they have an ecosystem tab where they list some apps, but
Some chains don't have it at all.
The information and links for those are, I think there's like two links each.
It's their Twitter and their website and like a sentence.
If we could work with them and just have them pull our stuff that would enhance their site
immensely overnight in one go.
Um, and again, make it easier on them and teams behind projects in making sure that information
stays updated and propagates everywhere it needs to.
So that's a big, like long-term thing where the index could, uh, be just as, you know, crucial
and important as the dashboard, but short-term and just for the average one-on-one user that
circling back the dashboard, I think is definitely going to be our anchor product.
Sorry, that was kind of a long response, but I'm excited about this stuff.
You actually front run one of my, uh, questions, which was about, um, dev-free map.
Cause I actually stumbled onto that, that page through interchain info when I was taking a
So it was good to kind of see that it's, um, not, not part of the interchain info family,
but just, uh, like a tool that you're integrating, which is really cool.
And we in general are really open to that kind of stuff.
We are eager to work with projects, especially if it's mutually beneficial.
Um, there seemed like a natural fit, right.
Uh, I actually didn't mention this.
I think what Liam was just referring to is they're not just pulling info from us.
We're pulling sort of a widgetized version of their info into our index pages.
So on interchain info, if you go to the OmniFlix page, you'll see some developer insights from
the last month, courtesy of dev-free maps.
You can hop over to their full site to see the full thing.
But, uh, anything that just helps both parties and helps the end user, we are super open
to, and would love to chat with people.
So just want to throw that out there.
So like you were mentioning about, um, like all this info being like aggregated through the
index, um, and then having like personalized dashboards.
Um, and I was wondering if, if there was like any way that maybe interchain info or the projects
that want to build like report, like information repositories on interchain info could like incentivize
Uh, cause obviously with, with Wikipedia, everyone does it because they believe in the value, but
where we're in blockchain, maybe there's additional, yeah, additional incentive models that can be
That would not be that hard at all, actually.
Um, we could basically just add a field on our edit page for your wallet address.
And then if, uh, you know, whatever project, if they are running some incentives campaign,
again, let's use OmniFlix as an example.
Let's say they said to their community, um, I guess you'd have to figure out exactly how to
This would be in your guys' hands, uh, third party of figuring out the incentives, how to do
So this would not work, but let's use it as a very simple example.
Um, every time you update the OmniFlix, uh, index page will give you 0.1 flix or a flix per,
per word added or updated.
Um, that would not be a great system, but something like that would actually be very,
very doable as far as how our backend is set up.
And I love that idea, Liam.
We, I'm going to look into that.
I'm going to chat later today because I think that makes perfect sense, right?
Um, we do already plan to add a little bit of web three functionality to the index and resource hub in
that, like for you, Liam, we want you to be able to give us a wallet address and for your
page, Confident in Crypto, which maybe we'll change now.
I don't know what, what alias you want to go under.
Um, you'll be able to update that directly.
You'll be able to connect with your wallet and change that page without us having to review
Um, OmniFlix, Sisla, whether it's just his or a number of wallets he could give us, uh, those
people would be able to update the OmniFlix page directly without us having to review
Us reviewing it is mainly for when third party and community members come in, um, and do
Um, but since we're already planning on adding that little bit of wallet connection, um, also
just thinking what it would take, it would not be that many more steps to add something
where when you submit, you either put in an address or connect your, uh, wallet and it
just makes a little record of what your contribution was, what your address was, and then we can
leave it up to the teams to figure out, um, you know, with that list, how they may want
to reward people or incentivize.
That's a great idea, Liam.
Let's, I'm going to think more into that with the team.
I don't want to kind of like brainstorm at all, like right now in the space, cause it
would probably take a long time, but I was thinking of, uh, along similar lines to you.
And I was also thinking like, maybe there's like contributor pages you can find on the
index, which has like all the contributions of an address and you can do like tips or something
like that, or maybe it'll look entirely different, but yeah, I definitely think it's something
you have access to if, if you find a good fit.
That, that, that last part is something that's on our long-term roadmap with how our infrastructure
It's, it's a little bit more work, so, uh, it's not a priority right now, but yes, one of
the main ways Wikipedia works is most contributions are not anonymous.
They're from accounts that have a history, a reputation.
Um, in fact, I'm not even sure you can do anonymous revisions and submissions anymore.
Um, so we do have a plan in mind in future to make it not sure if it's going to be optional
or mandatory yet, but to allow people to, uh, connect a wallet to their various history
of revisions, submissions, et cetera, that way someone can just sort of, it'll also help
us on the backend, right?
Um, so if, if a submission or revision comes in from an address that we've seen a million
times, maybe we even know who the Twitter handle is, um, well, it'll make it a little
easier on us to be like, okay, this person's probably not being malicious, doing a 180 overnight.
Um, but yeah, yeah, yeah, it's kind of hard not to brainstorm, but we'll, we'll try and
Although Liam, I'd love to have a call just sometime.
It's been a while since we've caught up in general and seems like we're very much in
the same mindset about this.
So you might help spark some ideas for us.
Um, I was just about to say no pun intended there.
Um, yeah, that's very interesting.
Um, I, I did have a few other questions, but, uh, I've lost track of those.
There was one thing I wanted to ask you quickly though, uh, to me, um, just because of course,
like back in May, um, I know obviously you've received, uh, Interchain Info received $20,000
of funding from the Cosmos Hub.
Um, and I know at one point you were looking at other like ways to get funding and stuff.
Um, so I just had a question, like, how has that funding been from the Cosmos Hub?
Like what's it helped contribute towards, um, and how are you finding it?
Like kind of trying to build this with limited resources and what sort of funding do you see,
uh, to continue doing the development in the future?
A couple, couple really good questions in there and points to, to address.
So, um, I'll even go back a little further.
Just, I think there's not enough super full transparency in crypto.
Our very first piece of funding, not even for Interchain Info, um, but for Spark IBC initially
Uh, the entirety of that went to paying third-party developers and designers to get, uh, Spark IBC
Uh, a little bit later, once Interchain Info was live, we put a prop on the Cosmos Hub.
We were going to go around and do this to every chain, which is something we may revisit,
but instead of doing them all at once, we decided to start with the Cosmos Hub for this purpose.
Um, of that $20,000, $10,000 of it, uh, was reserved for content creation.
So, we had and have a program going where if people want to create net new content or
help submit, uh, existing content that's relevant to Atom, the Cosmos, the AEZ, um, just because
it came from Atom, it couldn't be, you know, ThorChain related, um, we'll pay you for that.
And we have 99% of that money still.
Um, most of it's in Atom, so the price might be a bit different, or value, than when we
Um, but, yeah, people have not really been interested in that, which is, uh, one reason
we didn't go to other chains yet.
Partly it was, like, sort of a bear market blues, bad timing type thing.
Nobody was really excited about, you know, just updating info and places and creating
Even our main content creators kind of slowed down for a while, Don, Tank, yourself.
Um, but that's still a thing.
Um, so we still have that money.
We keep a balance sheet that, uh, if anyone wants to see that, we can send it to you.
It's just a simple but detailed, uh, Google Sheets.
Um, the other half of that funding has gone mainly towards development of certain
things, um, and some of it is still reserved for specific Atom and AEZ-related development
on the dashboard that may go along with some future stuff.
But so, crazy enough, most of that funding has not been spent because I was way too restrictive
on exactly what we were going to spend it on in the spending prop.
Um, I still don't like seeing vague spending props.
I don't like seeing teams ask for exorbitant amounts of money with a five-line item budget
But I now slightly get a little bit why being vague in your ass can be helpful.
Um, because, like, that $10,000, we committed to only spending that on content incentives.
So, it's, it's just sitting there when we're not going to go spend it on something else
Um, but I guess as a reminder there, you know, if anyone out here has been thinking of getting
into, uh, you know, creating long Twitter threads or even Medium blog post articles,
especially YouTube videos, Twitch live streams, that sort of stuff.
If you do that on anything Atom related, so anything in the AEZ hub, um, we'll, we'll reimburse
We, we have the, the hub and the community has agreed that we want more of that stuff
and we're willing to pay for it.
So, um, don't want to get too deep into that, but feel free to DM this account or my account
We can point you in the right direction.
Um, and then not many people know we have this, even though we maintain it really well.
Uh, we have a very thorough Git book that has info on everything, Spark IBC and
inner chain info related.
You can get to that by clicking docs at the bottom of any of our sites.
Um, and that'll answer a lot of like miscellaneous questions people might have.
I won't take up any more time with my personal questions.
Um, I will just say like the concept can be really powerful.
It's just very tricky to find exactly like which way to proceed with it.
As you were saying, I think it's the dashboard, uh, which I make, I agree.
I think that's super powerful to me.
Um, if you want to chat, uh, and get on a call, just send me a DM after the space and
Um, and I'll pass it back over to Jatin for any more questions for you guys.
Thanks for coming on as well.
That, uh, thank you, Jim.
Those were some pretty interesting questions.
I got to know more details about Spark IPC and like, you know, uh, a lot of it, I mean,
I would say part of it sort of went over my head, but I think that's the part of being
curious and learning about it.
Um, I think, um, I know we somewhat have a time limit, but I, I am more than happy to,
uh, you know, clarify anything that I probably talked too fast over if you'd like, but also
know we have a time limit.
Um, I think, um, I just have one final question and that is when is Spark IPC, uh, coming on
So, um, if you, you guys at OmniFlix or anyone listening knows some solid Web3 devs that they
can vouch for that are looking for work, um, mainly Cosmosm focused, though a little bit
of knowledge of, um, like, sorry, brain fart for a second, go and like the SDK stack would
Um, we currently have a little bit of budget.
We need some help on some things.
We have a really, really solid and fairly large team of Web2 devs.
Um, but Web3, we don't have a full-time person on board yet.
We've been working with freelance people.
Um, and so right now we are technically live and deployed on two chains.
So you could donate to a Spark campaign on Juno or Miglue.
However, you'd have to do it through CLI.
Um, we're currently working on integrating Skip.
Um, just going with our whole philosophy of, uh, stuff is too friction and fractured.
Um, things are too fractured.
So the experience we want on Spark is when you come to sparkibc.zone, you connect your
wallet and it's connected to all chains.
Um, in our very first instance in a week or so, it'll just be Juno and Miglue.
Um, but through using the Skip API, you just pick what token from what chain anywhere you
want to donate or, uh, fund with if it's a Kickstarter type, uh, launchpad campaign.
Um, and it'll route that to whichever chain is quickest and fastest or a specific one if
there's some, uh, reason for that campaign.
So pretty much as soon as we get that, um, front end aggregation figured out with Skip's
products, uh, we can kind of pick up the pace and deploy on multiple chains.
It's, it's fairly easy from then on, at least other Cosmosum chains.
So let us know if you, anyone listening or anyone, you know, um, is a solid web three
dev looking to pick up a little work.
Um, and knock on wood, you could see us on Omniflix being used for, let's say, crowdfunding
and NFT project, uh, within a month or two.
Or, or just supporting people like, uh, we, we never want to lose the core of what Spark
started with, which is charity.
So we're, we're going to start moving towards launchpad type things, Kickstarter, uh, Patreon,
um, but also just like funding of a public good effort.
Um, so let's say you love what Spark and InterchainInfo are doing, our only revenue stream, uh, we're
not taking any investment seed investors, whatever we need to remain biased and unbiased in what
Our only revenue stream is ad placements and people paying to verify their projects, which
includes helping the end user cause more transparency.
So, you know, if you just want to help us, you can like contribute a few bucks through Spark
And there's a lot of other efforts out there and there will be in future that are just
trying to help Web3 grow.
They're funded by community pools, whatever.
Um, these are the projects I think we really do need to support.
They're the ones that aren't here to make a bag.
Um, they're here to just support Web3 being adopted in a general sense.
So, uh, yeah, a bit of a tangent there, but Spark on Omniflix, possibly soon.
That's, uh, really looking forward to that.
Um, I'll, I think that's about it in terms of questions.
I do have a small four question long rapid fire thing that I want to do.
Um, and, uh, and I think, yeah, then, uh, for any further discussion, we would love to
invite you for any other dedicated space so that you cover the whole, you know, Omniflix
Um, but yeah, maybe like, you know, as you mentioned, you want to do things, you want
to keep it as a charity entity.
You want to focus on the education bit.
Maybe Spark points could be a Spark NFT also on Omniflix that could like, you know, be
something more than memorabilia to sort of like, you know, um, create, like, you know,
help sort of create a token-grade community, maybe a channel, who knows?
Uh, there's a lot of potential there.
No, that's, um, so I will say Spark points have some actual use.
There's a lot of utility coming, um, nothing like crazy.
Don't go out and donate to Spark just to accrue Spark points.
They're not going to make you rich.
Um, but there is some utility coming, but, um, that kind of thing, absolutely on our radar
or like our sort of to do, want to do future list, um, that could, that could work in any
That could be Spark points are NFTs on Omniflix.
It could be that for every hundred Spark points you get from a certain campaign, you get a
Um, there's a lot of different ways you could do it.
So let's say there was, uh, an artist on Omniflix who wanted to run a sort of Patreon
style campaign for himself, where, um, for every 50 Spark points, someone accrues from his campaign,
meaning $50 donated, uh, they get a ticket for a raffle or an exclusive NFT or whatever
Like all that stuff is definitely in the cards and something we can, uh, work with teams as
we expanded their chains to, to integrate and build out.
Uh, for example, on white whale, uh, we're adding a new type of funding where you'll be
able to use liquid staked assets, um, liquid staked whale.
And your contributions to the campaign will only be the yield on those assets.
So you get back your principal.
Whenever we expand to Omniflix, we'd love to have a long chat with you guys about what
we can do unique to your chain, um, with that sort of stuff.
So yeah, great, great point.
I mean, looking forward to, you know, having some great Sunor GPS products.
Um, okay, so I'll get to the rapid fire to answer it quickly and answer, keep the answer
short so that we can quickly jump and do this.
So question number one, if Spark IBC project could be granted like a superpower or a super
feature, what would it be?
Uh, is it a cop out to just say a lot of funding?
Funding, funding would be great.
Um, that and just mass, interchain info in particular, uh, mass awareness.
I think if tomorrow, uh, 10,000 people became aware of interchain info, that alone would make
like a huge impact in its utility, uh, helpfulness, et cetera.
Um, what, you can, if you can explain interchain info in seven words or less.
The, the web three wiki and so much more off the top of my head.
That's, that's pretty cool.
Um, if there was a theme song dedicated to explaining what it has, what the journey has
been towards building Spark IBC, what would the theme song be?
That's, that's a good one.
Um, um, you know, I don't know if it fits perfectly, but first reaction was life is a highway.
So I'm going to go with that one.
Not super fitting, but first that came to mind.
So maybe there's something to it, you know?
And the final one, if you were not working in web three, what do you think your alt occupation
That's my background, whether it would be filmmaking, freelance stuff.
I did music videos for a while, worked at a marketing company.
Um, big, my, my only hint of artistic talent lies in video editing.
So that's probably what I'd be doing and what I still do a good bit.
Then you're in the right space also for other reasons.
Uh, but yeah, I think that's the, that's the end of my questions.
Um, thank you so much for taking out the time.
If you want to leave like, you know, like a closing note for our audience, that would
Uh, my only closing note would be, uh, especially in relation to inner chain info.
Um, we have done an enormous amount of work getting the content on it to where it is now
so that it has a little sort of, um, you know, traction to get going.
But what we have in mind, it's not something we can maintain.
It is meant to run sort of like Wikipedia and then the resource hub.
Um, we're building tools to make that easier and kind of automatic, but really just having
the communities help with making sure when you see a new project on your timeline, check
inner chain info real quick.
Be the person to create it.
Uh, your favorite project just got a big update that like is a serious value capture.
Go make sure that's added to their article so that, uh, when new people come and read,
they, they see that new update.
Uh, that'd probably be my one big closing note and a favor to ask of people.
And I think you'll see it start to pay off for everyone involved long-term.
Um, you have investments in that project.
You want more people to get involved, understand it, um, buy the token, use the thing, generate
Um, it, it all starts with people knowing what the thing is.
Um, information is priceless.
Um, definitely, definitely, thank you so much.
Thank you so much for that.
I think, uh, everyone's got a great taste of, uh, what Spark IBC is building.
And, uh, yeah, thank you so much for taking out the time as well.
Thank you for having me so much.
Um, both you and Liam, it's been great.
Um, I would love to do another one of these spaces, uh, maybe closer to when we'll deploy
on OmniFlix and we could talk specifically about, uh, you know, what unique to OmniFlix might
make sense for Spark funding campaigns.
Like we were kind of touching on earlier.
I think that'd be a really interesting discussion.
So with that, I think, uh, Liam, we can move on to the next segment, which is getting some
of our creators and people in the audience to come up and share.
And I already see Rag if I'm here.
So I guess I'll say a quick hello to Rafa and then I'll, uh, pop down to the audience
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm only up here because I'm catching these two sleeping.
I mean, I'm glad Sisla's here and your man dear, because Timmy's biggest moment of
his entire blockchain career happened on Omniflix and you two just sitting there like, not even
bringing him on like, when are they keeping it for the end?
They must be keeping it for the end.
I'm waiting, dude, for the bill.
I mean, Timmy's only the executive producer of the one and only number one first ever Cosmos
On your home chain and you two and after.
I mean, Liam, I already wasn't impressed with you with our P&P.
You were already in the black book, son.
And then I'm like, come on, Timmy, give me, this is your life moment.
They might not actually have known I had a hand in that.
I only, let's give them the benefit of the doubt, at least.
Bro, bro, you're in the metadata.
By the way, huge shout out to OmniFlix.
Just at a fundamental level, I'm not sure when this decision was made or what infrastructure
trade-offs were needed or whatever.
But just the file size limit being so much higher on OmniFlix than other NFT platforms
Like when I was told I had to compress that video for Finn's album, I got kind of worried.
I was like, oh, God, how much?
What do I need to get it down to?
And then they told me, I was like, oh, that's not that bad.
That's really impressive.
That's, I think, going to pay off long term if you want to do more than just having images
Well, this is why I was determined that you wouldn't go down into the audience, Timmy,
because guys, that EP, how we put it together, how the songs migrate, everything about it
was so bloody professional.
Finn was just like, holy cow, like, oh my goodness, like, this is the real deal, isn't
And like, it was like, Timmy, we're going to make a music video.
Like, we didn't want to go to anybody else.
We still want that style.
That's still that rec-a-fem, that black and white little thing, the glitch, right?
Like, and then, like, do you want to produce a music?
Do you want to, like, probably have the chance to produce something, like, from the street?
And I want to just make a big, like, announcement.
I know our sisters down there, I'd have planned on doing it, like, with them.
But this is kind of, like, going to be a world exclusive.
And we are working with Omniflix.
There have been a, well, there are going to be a financial contributor to the project.
But it's been a long day, guys, for me.
Trust me, I've been pushing the bike for nearly three kilometers today.
But it's going to be strategic input and advice.
And where would, I mean, because we're not, you know, we're not really knowledgeable on video on demand and stuff like that.
It's like, we're getting, we're learning about things.
But I want to really make something very clear to start with, guys.
Cash, which obviously the acronym is Clown Ass Shithouse, right?
That's obviously what the hashtag is.
But Clown Ass Shithouse, the song, and Clown Ass Shithouse, the music video, or the video, I should say, right?
Or the movie, whatever you want to call it.
The five-minute experience that you're going to get that's going to be, like, Dre-esque.
Let's just say that, right?
We really, from the day after this collaboration with Omniflix, and what Timmy mentioned there, the file size,
I think he might have been helping me out there, because he knew that's one of the main reasons why we're doing this.
So we can make the quality of, not just the video itself, but obviously the combination of the video and the audio together, yeah?
I am so stoked about this.
And it was just like, I know for a fact the team knows how much passion I'm pouring into this video.
We've already grabbed, we've guaranteed, like, three locations here in Bangkok, yeah?
There, like, Soy Cowboy, like, one of the best weed shops you've ever seen, called Cloud9.
They've got, like, giant anti-clouds in there, and, like, proper gangster.
There's going to, just keep your eye out for what's happening.
And it's not like we're not promoing the song, obviously.
The song and the artwork, the one-on-one by Ambedo, that's a whole different thing.
We're going to run, I think, we haven't agreed to find finer details exactly yet,
but pretty much a gentleman's agreement.
I think it'll be a 10-day executive, or exclusive, sorry, release on Omni.
That'll be the only place you'll be able to see this video.
I said to the guys, look, you tell me what you think.
Do you want to run a campaign for certain OG, like, badge holders?
Like, because the aim, the song, you see, is a separate thing.
That's a separate entity, right?
So this is like a by-product, isn't it?
The secondary, like, by-product, right?
So what do we need to do to be able to do this?
We just need to be able to have, like, enough money where we're not, like,
we're not having to fucking fund all of it.
But, like, you lot get to have a lot of fucking fun for, like, what we spend.
And we've probably, well, actually, if you want to talk about some other things,
we've already probably matched what Omni will put in.
And I'm going to disclose this.
I said, because this conversation came up in a really weird way, guys.
Jacob and I had the conversation, which came out of, like, us going to Sonny,
And then I said to Jacob, would you support us in this, like, with Sonny?
And he's like, hey, no qualms, no fucking support it.
Now, if that's going to put you on five nights a week, yeah?
Only tonight we skipped it for the show, obviously.
But, like, 500 bucks, right?
And we said to Timmy about, like, oh, Timmy, you know, about payment and that.
Like, just trying to, like, share a little bit around.
And he was like, no, no, no.
He didn't even want anything for the EP.
But then, like, I was like, Timmy, no, no.
For this one, we're going to have to, like, do something, you know?
Because the thing is, we've got him a little core producer as well,
like Red Eye's there to do loads of heavy lifting for Timmy this time around as well.
But, like, Timmy's got total shots on how the video comes out.
I'm putting into this as much, like, mad content as I can.
Some of you are seeing the videos.
Some of you might not have.
I can't even begin to tell you some of the promos that you might see over the next, like, week, 10 days.
And Beto's just dropped in my Discord for the first time in a week.
I'm going to speed up the art.
But the video, guys, the video goes out the day of the mint ending.
So the song will finish and the video will be released within 60 seconds of that mint of the song finishing, okay?
And there'll be some, you know, we'll try as much as we can to gamify every aspect of it.
But I want everybody to be clear.
I want everybody to know exactly what Rat FM's getting.
Hey, what we're dealing with, it's our fucking business.
We're giving Timmy $100 worth of link to be not making this out.
That's our business, right?
Just like we can't be right with our own pockets, right?
But Omniflix, I'm going to say this right here, right now.
I've been in touch with about 12 people about this.
And nobody had the arsehole.
Nobody had the bloody bollocks to say, hey, okay, we know this is, like, a bit raw, a bit rough.
You know, you're not going to tone it down.
I mean, they know this is coming out, whether we tone it, we're not going to tone it down and it's going to come out regardless.
And Timmy will produce it because he doesn't care either because this is on the money.
This is probably one of the best rap songs I've ever heard in my life.
And I'm not saying this because it's from Finn.
It's the most culturally relevant Q3 into Q4 sort of Cosmos song that you'll ever hear in your life.
Every single line is a killer.
He said, how did Finn do that?
He doesn't even believe it himself still.
And I'm determined that this video will be as good as we can.
We've hooked up some camera shit.
We've hooked up some venues.
Think, like, you're going to see some real...
And it's also, you know, the acronym for Clown Asher House.
Yeah, Omni, over to you guys.
Whether we drop it to everyone who collected our books.
Because, you know, you're at Genesis Home.
That's one of the big things for me.
Liam, you know that, Liam?
And right after the song finishes, we're going to drop the video.
I swear to God, the whole team will die to deliver this project for you.
That's all I've got to say.
Shout out for the people who dizzle down there and a few others.
I think I might be Carter.
If it's not, it might be Red Eye.
The people who've never stopped believing in us from day one.
Who saw, like Sisla said in the DM.
He's just like, dude, we just saw work ethic.
We saw work ethic in here and went.
Who wouldn't want to, like, get in there?
And that's why I think this video will change the bloody internet.
We're about to break cosmos, guys.
Well, Rack FM, it's hard to follow on from that.
You really nailed it with that speech there.
And obviously, good luck with the launch of the video and the world premiere.
I actually like your music, by the way, whenever it's being played at the start of the spaces.
Liam, can we meet you at PFP?
Can we do you a one-on-one?
Because I can't look at that anymore, bro.
You need to sort it out for me, dude.
I'm not changing the PFP.
If I change it, it'll be back to me.
But I appreciate the offer.
What a great show, though.
I really, really enjoyed.
We're often busy with our own stuff, you know.
We've had some crossovers sometimes.
But when we do come in, man, it's so much fun and entertainment.
So, you guys interviewing Timmy tonight was outstanding.
Proper outsourced his answers as well.
Yeah, that was really cool, Timmy.
And thank you, Rack, for giving all the hype for your next EP and the video that's coming.
I really didn't know that you had collaborated with Timmy on the video editing pit.
So, you just learn something new every day.
Really excited for when the music comes.
And we'll make sure, as soon as it launches, that we'll start our next phase for it.
So, that, you know, we send the message along across the cosmos for that.
I also see Shade Protocol here.
If you guys are free, I just sent you a speaker request to join us.
Also see Framework Fortune.
Of course, a lot of people from Fanatex.
Yeah, if you're available, do send me a request.
I'll happily bring you here.
Hi, Tim from Shade Protocol.
Good morning, good morning.
Glad to see everyone here.
Been enjoying this conversation, listening to Timmy.
And really enjoyed, obviously, anyone who knows Rack FM,
knows Shade's a big supporter of Rack FM.
So, it's always been good to see these guys in similar spaces.
Shade, you guys have been killing it, by the way.
Like, just a pat on the back.
Every team that I think kept working through the bear market,
I just want to give a hug to.
But, like, you guys have been killing it.
Yeah, we really love our community.
I mean, we're a team of builders who are persisting through the bear,
and our community is a team of what I would maybe call visionaries
who, like, understand and empathize with the future of decentralized finance
that we're looking to build.
So, we've had some really great community members, you know,
continue pushing us, keeping us on our toes.
And, you know, one of the other great things we have is a community of people
who aren't afraid to criticize and to provide constructive feedback.
And that's also been super helpful for us,
being able to kind of navigate this bear market and come out of it even stronger.
But we've got some really killer stuff coming down the pipeline.
We just launched our Ethereum liquidity campaign this past week.
We saw an influx of a little over a million dollars in ETH and ETH LSDs into our product suite.
I think just shy of, like, 3 million TVL for ETH assets,
specifically ETH and wrapped ST ETH.
So, it's really great to see that sort of engagement early on.
But, obviously, you know, we're not done here.
So, it's just encouraging to see that early growth.
But, you know, the onus is on us to keep that growth going and to continue providing utility.
We've also got, oh, man, there's so many things under development right now
that I feel like people aren't really aware of or they don't understand the magnitude of.
But we've got multiple different leverage products being developed.
Right now, we've got a perpetual swap hackathon that we just announced yesterday, I believe,
that's going to be co-hosted by Secret Labs.
And so, it's a hackathon purely devoted to building private, decentralized perpetual swap exchange.
So, we're really excited about that.
That's going to kick off in about a little over a week or so.
So, yeah, I think things are heating up.
It's been a really exciting past month.
And we've got a – I think we're still scheduled.
We're going to be good to go today.
But we might be the first protocol to support DYDX trading within the Cosmos.
There might be another swapping venue that already has DYDX supported.
But if they do, we're going to be coming in hot right behind them.
So, that's another really cool development.
I actually really like the fact that you're focusing on privacy.
Like, I've always had this thing where I feel like it's a challenging direction to go in
because of the convenience that people kind of go for over privacy.
But there's so many people you can service with, like, Shade Protocol, with Secret,
and definitely, like, institutions and large companies, right?
They're probably not wanting to have their trades, like, publicly visible
and, like, their earnings and profits and stuff.
Like, there's definitely a utility for it.
How do you think, like, adoption is achieved for things like Shade and Secret,
especially with, like, the convenience element?
I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.
Yeah, that's a great question.
And I've personally been thinking about this a lot.
Like, I do a lot of risk analysis and I do a lot of data analytics.
Like, so I'm constantly thinking about, like, growth and growth impediments
and, you know, what we can do to clear various barriers and hurdles.
And privacy is an interesting one because privacy or the lack of privacy
is what I would personally consider an unpriced externality.
It's something that markets don't know how to properly price in.
And there are plenty of other unpriced externalities that are comparable
where this isn't really priced in well by markets.
Or rather, the pricing in of these externalities is done by users
But, you know, like, people generally don't recognize the value of privacy
Like, for a lot of learning moments or watershed moments for individuals,
like, that learning moment happens once it's too late.
Or, like, right when, you know, the situation is happening
where they're having value extracted
or their data is being leveraged in a way that they don't consent to,
And so, unfortunately, for most people,
that recognition of the value of privacy is a little too late.
So what we've tried to do is take this approach
when we're building our protocols
that we cannot have privacy be our main value proposition
because it is something that is hard to price in
for the average everyday user.
And for anyone who's heard me on Spaces before,
I know I've said this many times on Rack FM,
it's not enough to be twice as good.
And if privacy is what makes us twice as good,
We have to be able to provide additional utility,
provide better, more efficient dApp usage,
lower fees, easier access, better UI, UX.
All of that goes into being able to get people
to take that step into private DeFi.
For some people, the knowledge that privacy is there
and you can preserve your privacy,
your balances, transaction histories.
Some people recognize that out of the gate
and they want to use it purely
for these privacy preservation reasons.
Those are people who are 100% aligned with our ethos.
But we also are really interested
and want to support individuals
who maybe recognize the value of privacy,
but they're also trying to be cognizant of like,
you know, what is my yield earning potential
relative to other public dApps?
What is the ease of user experience
relative to other public dApps?
And so this is something we've been,
you know, extremely focused on
over the past six to nine months
is improving the user experience,
both on the dApp level and the chain level
from Seqra Network's perspective,
making sure that we're able to continue
improving the efficiency of the dApps,
providing novel utility for users.
you have the privacy preservation
that comes with interacting with our dApps.
like privacy is always going to be
this core ethical principle,
like privacy as a human right
that Shade Protocol holds very close to,
close to its heart, in quotes.
But I don't think privacy is likely to be
the thing that gets mass adoption
from like your average user base.
I think it's, to your point, Liam,
I think this is something that's very enticing
people who are constantly thinking about risk
and trying to underwrite risk, assess risk,
try to mitigate losses and positions.
You know, these are the people
who are probably going to recognize the value
we want to be able to provide
this value proposition to everyone,
regardless of their trade size,
regardless of their balance,
That's why, that's the beauty of privacy.
It doesn't matter if you have a dollar
You know, we're going to provide
the same level of privacy
to both of those sets of individuals.
I think this is like quite relatable
when we look at like personal freedom
You know, it's like one of those things
where like people don't really care about,
until it happens to them, right?
I was kind of talking earlier
and it was like interesting,
like having this like emotional connect
to the values that I already had
around that sort of thing.
But it's the same concept
and they've already been affected
Like what you were talking about
which I find like really interesting.
that in order to kind of garner,
this incredible value add
I think about a lot anyway,
like especially with like
to break existing like power structures
because of those network effects.
four, five, 10x additional value
So yeah, I can definitely relate
what you're saying there.
I think that all of us can.
for, I've been in Seeker Network
contributing to Seeker Network
for almost two years now.
to the two year mark personally.
And it's been wild to see,
you know, I was attracted initially
from this like pure privacy ethos
before I started contributing
And I was one of the people
pure privacy narrative, right?
extremely dedicated to this,
you know, I would still get frustrated
with the user experience, right?
do I have to jump through?
How much like troubleshooting
do I have to jump through
in order to get everything
how many sites do I have to visit
to be able to do X, Y, Z?
And so from our perspective,
equitable, privacy-preserving DeFi
as smooth as possible, right?
recently used our ETH Bridge V2,
you'll kind of get a taste
of exactly what we've been
You know, I'm pretty biased,
we have the best bridging UX
just this like insatiable desire
as easy as possible, right?
Bridging is just one UI or UX
Wallet support is another
You know, being able to manage
these private by default assets,
that's another friction point.
Being able to use the apps
that's another friction point.
has just been to break down
all those friction points
as much friction as possible
actually enjoy private DeFi.
We don't want you to come in here
this really easy opportunity
So that's what we're here
like some of your thoughts
It's definitely something
and hopefully people listening
also can relate in some way
and find it an interesting topic.
on the corporate account.
talk about this, blah, blah.
That's a good tease, Robo.
we'll get Framework Fortune
you'd like to proceed with.
of adding functionalities,
are getting contributions,
there and can connect me,
and for any other updates
that you want to hear about
like every monthly update
which is a monthly article
there'll be a community update
so you're not missing out
even the minor developments
thank you for being so patient.
and this whole community.
