The dark found a way through
Carried every token like a message from you
No more broken tunnels, just a path that stays
Trustless, tireless, running night and day
A roaring heart of a storm
Turned local loose in a newborn form
Plug in your vision, hit your boy
One click later you're alive on day
All the memes said to yours
So we drove a little more
Under every single joke was a battle plan The means said to yours, so we drove a little more.
Under every single joke was a battle plan.
Raise your hands through the Aurora.
Watch it like the chains of night. From near it climbs, it runs the border, bringing every dream inside.
From the bridge into the future, where the feet's cut clean and true. up
hello everyone happy friday and welcome to this week's alpha leaks i'm sure you would have just heard the uh the new Big Thanks to Colour Sun, who is the winner of
the Aurora Anthem request that went live on Near FM. So of course, Near FM has definitely been
making headlines this week. A lot of people have been having a lot of fun with it. We had quite a
lot of submissions on kind of the new Aurora Anthem.
Thank you very much if you're listening and you're one of the people who participated.
There were some great submissions there, but the track you just heard was the winner.
It was my favourite.
It's called Aurora Ascending, and yeah, Colossan, big thanks to you.
You'll be getting the 25 near bounty
and I will also be sending you some near
to round that up to a nice 100.
It's a big thank you for the work that you've done
and for the submission that you made.
If you haven't seen near FM,
then you haven't seen my tweets
and you also haven't seen many other people's tweets.
Created by Vadim, It's a great platform that
in the space of such a short amount of time is already getting a lot of songs uploaded to it and
creating some interesting talking points online as well. So check it out, there's a lot to listen
there. Now starting off the update of course with, with the least interesting, shall we say.
So, yeah, in line with our token economy, we've burned 9,000 Aurora tokens throughout February,
which, of course, is the standard practice that we do on a monthly basis.
Now, I was at Neocon, as you guys know.
I had a fantastic time there. I spoke a lot
about this last week, but the talk that I gave on the Intense widget has now been
released publicly as well. So if listening to me on Alpha Leaks each week isn't
enough and you'd like to listen to me a bit more, then please do check out the
video. It gives a bit of an insight into the intense
widget that we've launched, the rationale and thinking behind it, as well as the real
benefits that it brings to projects. Now, one of the questions I always get asked is what else is
coming and what are we building? And there is going to be an announcement um which i haven't
even spoken to my team about yet so they're probably going to be watching this the same
time as you uh thinking wait wait wait when's he announcing it it won't be today um but in the very
near future i'll be doing announcement about the newest product that we'll be bringing to market
which will only be strengthening the work we've done with the Intense widget and adding some serious value to projects across multiple ecosystems. So I'm
looking forward to sharing that with you guys as soon as I can do. Now the new Intense widget,
we're already seeing some success for this. we've got projects that are speaking to us
on a daily basis our team I believe is speaking to over 30 different projects currently at the
moment but the kind of official and full documentation update has now been completed
as well making it easier for projects to implement the widget as quickly as possible of course you
could just skip all of that and ask and ask claude to do it for you
uh with a skill with claude's skill that went live it's now easier than ever to have the widget
running on your platform finally we've got omega um so you guys have seen the omega team on here
um but there's an update on their side they have got a referral program that's now issuing tokens. You can even earn an extra 500 tokens as well for anybody who is joining.
And any of those tokens that are issued to you guys are also going to convert to Omega at their TGE event as well.
So they're going to be dropping the referral codes.
Please check it out.
Could be an interesting thing to get involved with.
And of course, if you're not following Omega, I highly recommend it.
There's a lot of interesting stuff that's being developed over there at the moment now what do we have this week for our clash of memes so okay me feeling emotional yeah I mean
look to be honest I was listening through the songs and I'm quite I'm quite a strange person
when it comes to songs so I like songs across all different categories.
Right.
But yeah,
the song,
the song that we chose in particular,
yeah,
that resonated.
Well,
it was a great song.
What else do we have excited for cred shields on Aurora?
Yes.
So actually I've seen a lot of you guys posting about this.
And I think quite a few of the memes around cred shield as well.
It's great that you guys are seeing the alpha even before me in some cases um but yes cred
shield is live in the aurora cloud marketplace providing additional security uh you know to our
virtual chain projects uh on what we're going to be doing there let's see are we do we have any
other memes okay yeah peaky blinders I hear there's another season coming.
Maybe as soon as I got to know
there'll be something big from Aurora in March.
There is something big coming from Aurora in March
and I will be sharing it with you
in the very near future.
Okay, we've got one from Lou.
Yeah, CredShield on the Aurora Marketplace.
My dance moves during the CredShield.
I can't dance. Unfortunatelyutch i can't dance uh unfortunately
i can't dance as well as uh tom uh much as i wish i could mr bean okay cool
yeah month of march so it's like you guys knew we were going to be announcing something even
before i said it waiting for something big for more as near activity transparency is one of the
best shields yet cred shield again yeah cred shields oh we have another queen meme this week from immortal
smile of the queen of england
i love that since taking over from alex um there seems to be a more of a recurring theme on the
memes you guys are clearly figuring out quite quickly
oh get a morgan freeman okay okay so uh yeah major laser i'm going to give you one just because i'm a big morgan fan
what else do we have um i'm going to give one to galileo my kid is obsessed with spongebob
especially the new spongebob movie um so he will like that uh spongebob especially the new Spongebob movie so he will like that Spongebob won one of our
competitions. Transparency is one of the best shields. Yeah and Craig I'm going to give you the
third one and no I will not be dancing uh like that
but you are our third winner okay so yeah that is um all of the key updates this week uh sorry i
don't have more juicy stuff to share with you um let's see what questions that we have from
everybody today um okay good morning morning morning okay so i like that you guys are enjoying the song
yeah christian big fan thank you very much um yeah it's it's a great song um a lot of us over
here are a big fan of it leotan is it possible to make another near bounty um leave it with me
we will
think of something that can get you guys engaged and can work through it no
problem at all okay what's this near intense which after launch has been
integrated and how many projects and how is the response yeah great question
said so we've got we've got a few projects that have already integrated
the widget. We have a couple of dozen that we're actively working with at the moment
as well. What's quite interesting actually is some of the projects that we're going to
do are also very interested in the upcoming release of our next announcement, which I'll
hopefully be able to share more with you on next week. And some of the projects would like to get both of those. But yeah, generally the feedback's
been very, very good. It's super simple. Obviously, different projects have different use cases. So
Aurora doesn't just push the widget. What we're also doing is helping the widen your intense team.
So there are some projects where they need a greater level
of functionality, for example,
or they need to be able to customize it specifically
within their application.
So the API is a closer fit there,
but that's obviously still great for Aurora,
it's still great for Near Intense.
But yeah, overall, we're seeing some really good progress
and really good traction,
and we're continuing to push that.
We have a question from Aphid. Are the nearby backs from intense fees going to be burned?
Not a question for me to answer because it's not Aurora that's buying them back.
But keep an eye on the near town hall because I know there is constant announcements and updates on what's happening on the intense side over there.
I can see Alpha, you've asked the same question uh same answer applies there um okay if not dancing how about karaoke yeah okay so I should have known that'd be Alex
so yes when we have the company off sites uh I do tend to partake in the karaoke I won't subject
all of you people to uh to listening
to that i'll reserve that honor uh for the internal team um let's have a look okie dokie
the aurora token burn for last month was significantly higher than previous months
yeah i mean the amount isn't exactly the same um essentially the amount we burn is purely in line uh you know
with our tokenomics and obviously yes the raw token has taken a hell of a hit um but we don't
arbitrarily choose the number uh we have to follow the tokenomics uh precisely which of course is our
2.0 tokenomics okay what have we got are there plans to encourage the creation of more AI agents like Hacko? Yeah, so we're always talking internally about how we can get projects incentivized to not only build on Aurora, but to auto leverage as many of our technologies as possible.
to us, not only because, of course, it's the primary narrative for NIR, but also because
NIR Intense is perfectly built for AI agents. It's designed for that kind of financial scalability
and that kind of speed that AI agents depend on. So the answer to that question is yes.
In terms of when we'll be announcing these, realistically speaking, the leadership team are actually meeting in a week's time in Sweden
where we'll be finalizing the strategy and they kind of go to market plans for the following
quarter so expect some more news across the board regarding Aurora towards the end of the quarter
as I lay out what we're going to be doing in Q2 for the community.
I think there's one more question.
Will there be more breakthrough or more volumes expected from near Intents?
Yes, there is going to be more volumes expected and, of course, more developments.
One thing I can tell you about our future plans and thinking is they are absolutely related to Intents and they strengthen what we've already done with the products. In terms of the volumes, despite what's been going on in the market,
the volumes have remained strong and arguably when the market is kind of moving like this,
there's a segment of the Web3 community that are actually more active, right? And obviously we've
seen a significant climb across N near and ancillary tokens over
the past week um so of course people have been monopolizing that and taking advantage of that as
well um so yes lots more to come from near intense uh of course there's near.com as well now and i
i was speaking with alex only on tuesday uh there's some really exciting stuff that's coming there. Watch this space is all I
can say on that one. So that is a wrap for us this week, guys. I hope you have a fantastic weekend
and I look forward to speaking to you next week for next week's Alpha Leaks. Take care. Thank you.
