Recorded: June 8, 2023 Duration: 1:18:21Space Recording
Full Transcription
This video is brought to you by S.T.A.L.D.
Okay, I was muted.
Hi, everybody.
Hi, Lehman.
Let's give everyone just one more minute to join.
Okay, I think we can get started.
So, hi, everybody.
Welcome to the Hedera Q2 Community Call.
I'm very excited to have you here today.
My name is Mika, and I'm the Community Development Rep here at Hedera.
Today, we have a nice variety of speakers that are going to talk to you about all things Hedera,
give us some updates on what's been going on during Q2 of this year.
So, a lot of the speakers have been requested by the community, so I'm super excited about this one.
But before I start to introduce the speakers and the agenda, we have a very special guest today.
We have Dr. Lehman Baird with us.
So, I'll let you say hi to the community.
Hey, it is great to be here.
I looked at the agenda.
This is amazing.
I think there's eight different projects we're going to hear about today.
I cannot wait to hear about them.
I think six of them are things being built, and one of them is a hackathon, and one of them is a conference.
This is exciting.
There is a lot going on in our community, and I just love what you guys are doing.
We're very excited to have you here with us.
Okay, so let's jump right into the agenda because it's pretty packed.
So, we are going to start off with our first speaker.
So, our first speaker is going to be Michael, but I think he's actually not on the speaker's panel yet.
So, because of the way the Twitter space is set up, there's a limited amount of speakers that can come up at the same time.
So, I might have to let some of you on and off as we go through the different speakers so that everyone can get a chance to speak.
Okay, so here is Michael, and Michael is a DA for Swirls Labs.
So, he's a developer advocate.
And so, he'll be talking to us about a variety of things that have been going on here at Swirls Labs.
So, Michael, the floor is yours.
Hey, everyone.
How are y'all doing?
I hope well.
You guys know me from, I'm the hip maintainer.
I look at the hips that come.
Hips are formalized suggestions to improve the network in some way, shape, or form.
And I look over those hips that come in and move them along in the process.
One opportunity to talk to a couple of hips that I feel like are very important as we're going to be adopting this.
And this is really going to open up just what you do to...
Michael, sorry to interrupt you.
I think that your speaker might be interrupted or something.
Can you try speaking again?
Oh, yeah.
Okay, perfect.
Can you guys hear me?
Yes.
Okay.
Okay, cool.
I'll just start over.
Hey, everyone.
How are you guys doing?
I hope you guys are doing well.
If you guys know me, some of you guys know me.
But if you don't, I am Michael.
I'm a developer advocate here at Swirls Labs.
And one of the roles I have at Swirls Labs is I look at hips.
I'm the hip maintainer.
And hips are formalized suggestions that anyone can bring forward to improve Hedera in some way, shape, or form.
And I wanted to take this opportunity to talk briefly about a couple of hips that are really very important hips for our network in terms of opening up the floodgates to users that are on other EVM chains that will be coming over.
And first, I want to talk about HIP583.
And what HIP583 did was it gave support for EC-DSA-derived aliases to permit accounts to be created with an alias.
So what that means is that an account holder can use an alias and the encoding of the public key of that account to transfer HBARs or tokens instead of using the account number.
So if you've ever been on a MetaMask, per se, and you have a wallet, an Ethereum address, you can change networks in your settings and switch over to that network and you can keep your same public address.
That's what this HIP is supporting.
I really kind of view it akin to like, you know, when I was younger, we had landlines.
And, you know, the cool kids, when they would move, they would keep their same landline.
So it's kind of like that.
You keep your same address.
It's in your alias.
And you can switch over from other EVM chains seamlessly to Hedera and start transacting.
So that's that one.
Very important.
Another one is 584.
And that is bringing us into more parity with EVM and that enables free read-only contract calls, whereas previously you had to pay for read-only contract calls when you were calling contracts.
And now we redirect those calls to the mirror node so you get them essentially for free.
So it is for free on the end user.
The mirror node, there's costs there, but that's a more kind of technical discussion.
But in terms of, like, you won't have any HBAR deducted from your account when you're making these read-only calls.
So those are two very important hits.
And I highlighted them because it really brings us very close to parity with EVM equivalents.
So we were 100% EVM compatible.
We're still 100% EVM compatible.
But there is this idea of equivalents, which is a one-to-one mapping of what the EVM provides.
And we are rounding that corner there.
No chain that has EVM compatibility is 100% EVM equivalent.
But we are definitely up there now in parity with the others.
So that's very exciting.
And I'm really excited to see the amount of new users that it's going to bring.
We talk about opening the floodgates.
We really think that that is going to happen here.
So those are those two hits.
I wanted to just finally wrap up my brief talk here by giving, paying homage to the, some community highlights.
You know, as HIPs, anyone can bring forth a HIP.
And one of the really, really awesome things about HIPs is that anyone can bring it forward.
So all community members are encouraged to come and contribute and make suggestions to improve the network.
And whenever a community member or community members come together to present HIPs, that's really exciting.
Because it's bringing to fruition the whole idea of a decentralized network where anyone can participate and bring forward changes.
And I wanted to highlight two community proposed HIPs.
And that was, the first one is, of course, a lot of people know it.
A lot of people love this HIP.
Deals with NFTs, the mutable metadata NFT HIP that was championed by patches.
I don't know if you're on this call, patches, but really, really an awesome HIP.
That has been accepted by council.
So that means that it will be implemented.
We're still working out prioritizing, but it will be implemented.
So that's very exciting.
The second HIP that I wanted to talk about was Mei Chan.
I see you.
I see you on this call.
You're a speaker.
So she championed a HIP for fungible token metadata.
So NFTs have metadata in it.
And those of us who are familiar with NFTs, there's metadata.
And you can include the metadata that has properties and attributes to describe the NFT.
But our fungible tokens, Mei Chan brought up the suggestion that we have also metadata to include on the fungible tokens.
So in that metadata, you can include stuff like a token icon or the token website or a few other properties that could describe the token.
And that was also accepted by council.
So really exciting.
Very awesome to see the community involvement.
It's definitely growing at rapid pace.
And yeah, I'm just excited to see what happens in our future coming into quarter three.
So yeah, just wanted to say thank you, Mei.
Thank you, Patches.
And yeah, that's my piece.
Amazing, Michael.
Thank you so much for the update.
And thank you so much for working so closely with the community on a lot of these HIPs as well.
You've always been super helpful.
And just for the community.
So Michael gave us a nice overview of some of the HIPs that are being implemented at Hedera at the moment.
And I just want to take this time to remind everyone that Hedera is open source and anyone can submit a poll request.
So these HIPs have been approved and the team will get to implementing them.
But anyone can submit a poll request if it's something that's really important to them and work with the team to make that happen maybe a little faster.
So just wanted to give that reminder there.
So Michael, you gave us a very technical update.
The rest of the call won't be so technical.
But moving forward, we will have some changes to the community calls.
So instead of having them on a quarterly cadence, we'll be having them on a more regular cadence.
We'll be aiming for once a month.
And we have a goal to have alternating community calls.
Ones that are more technically focused and ones that are more ecosystem and updates focused.
So that we can show spotlight to everyone in the community and just get everyone involved in the discussions and grow the community together.
So our next speaker is Ed Marquez.
So Ed is DevRel here at Hedera.
And he will talk a little bit more about the future community calls, I believe, and give us some more updates on the DevRel side of things.
So the floor is yours, Ed.
Excellent. Thank you so much, Mika.
And hi, everyone.
Ed here.
I work in the developer relations team.
And I want to cover at a high level four topics.
The first one is going to be about a tribe hackathon that we're doing right now.
So this is going from May 26th until May 25th.
Or sorry, June 25th.
And so there are still about 17 days left to register and submit projects for that hackathon.
So if you're willing and interested in building on Hedera, this is definitely a good opportunity.
And you can also get rewarded with some nice prizes that we have.
So we have about $80,000 in total prizes, you know, for the first to fifth place winners.
So there's plenty of opportunity to pursue with this hackathon.
In the tweets that are in response to this call, I added some resources, you know, some links basically detailing the four topics that I'm going to cover.
You know, so there I made available the link so that people can register for the hackathon if you're interested in that.
And, you know, the last point about the hackathon is that the tracks that it's, you know, considering align with sustainability, DeFi and tokenization.
So I think this is a really fun opportunity to, you know, go all in, you know, get your Hedera skills kind of tested.
And definitely there are some interesting opportunities to explore there.
The second topic that I want to cover is also about recent developer enablement content.
Michael did a great job mentioning all the effort and focus that we're putting on EVM compatibility and EVM equivalents.
And so we also want to support developers with content, tutorials, and documentation to make that journey easy, right?
Because if we want retail users to come from MetaMask and other ecosystems, the developers in a way also have to lead the way to build the applications and things that will serve those retail users.
And so I encourage you to check out the technical side of our Hedera blog.
There we put out two pieces of content about how you can integrate MetaMask, you know, and do contract interactions with Hedera applications.
And, you know, it also uses, these tutorials also use front-end frameworks like React just to help you or guide you through the process of building started applications.
So you can explore that route of Hedera with MetaMask and EVM tools.
The other piece of content that I want to cover, you know, still in the second topic of enablement content, are some security updates that are coming soon to the smart contract service.
Again, we have blogs, one that has been put out last month that I also linked, and then another one that we're going to release this week to help you guide those changes in the smart contract service, you know, to make sure that nothing breaks once those updates are rolled out.
And the last thing related to content is we have some amazing team members putting some work, building frequently asked questions, both on Stack Overflow and on Discord.
And so, you know, if you go to Stack Overflow, that's obviously, you know, a very visible channel to ask developer-related questions.
And so now we're indexing a lot of our questions there, and we're, you know, cross-linking those in Discord just to give them more visibility and make them more convenient to discover for our developers that spend a lot of time on Discord.
So that is the second topic.
And the third one has to do with developer education, right?
So this is a survey that we are, you know, conducting to gather some information, some feedback on the things that you think are working well, the things that we could do better when it comes to enabling and educating developers.
So, again, I shared the link to that survey in my Twitter response.
So if you've had experience, you know, through going through our documentation, through our learning materials, we'd love to get your feedback just so that we can continue, you know, getting better and identifying new ways to get engaging content to you.
And the last thing I want to cover as well, so this is my fourth part, is that this week, you know, by request of the community, we started a Hedera account on Twitter for our Spanish-speaking community.
So, you know, it's called Hedera en Español, and I also made that link available there in the comments.
So if you're interested in following, connecting with that community, spreading news and good words in that language, then definitely feel free to follow that account so you can stay up to date with all the things that are happening there.
And then those are my four topics, and I know Mika also mentioned this idea of having more product or technical enabled or technical calls, technically focused calls.
And so, yeah, the idea is that we'll bring different subject matter experts from teams at Swirls Labs, experts from the community, you know, developers that may have been working on given projects, to give you updates and also to hear your feedback on the things that we should be thinking about, prioritizing, maybe to hear pain points with the technical capabilities, and we can, you know, have discussions, evaluations, and adjustments internally.
So that is the overall idea. I think the next call that we're aiming to have with this new, you know, structure will happen most likely in either July or early August.
So that's as much information as I can provide at the moment, but I'm pretty excited about that opportunity, and always excited to be part of these calls to hear directly from different parts of the ecosystem and to stay in touch with the community as well.
Back to you, Mika.
Amazing.
Ed, thank you so much for the updates.
I also wanted to clarify earlier when I mentioned that anyone can submit a pull request.
I just wanted to clarify that I meant submit a pull request for the HIPs that have been reviewed and approved by the council, and then once that pull request is submitted, then the team can have a look at it.
A lot of times implementing these HIPs is just sort of like resource bandwidth, a question of that.
So, you know, that's just one thing I wanted to clarify here before moving on.
Thank you for the updates, Ed.
And so for the next speaker, we have Grace and Zebsi from the HBAR Foundation giving us updates on the foundation side.
And so the floor is yours.
Awesome.
Thanks, Mika.
Hi, everyone.
So excited to be here.
I hope we're finding you happy and healthy today.
I just want to introduce myself.
My name is Grace, and I work on the Crypto Economy Fund at the foundation.
I just wanted to give a quick shout-out here that I am happy to be a resource for anyone in the community.
Please feel free to, you know, DM me, bother me as much as possible.
And my biggest ask here is that if you have a creative and innovative idea for the Hedera community, we would love for you to apply to the foundation.
So I'm going to drop the link here in the comments, but it is just the HBAR Foundation website.
Definitely throw an application our way.
And absolutely follow up with us to make sure that your application is being reviewed and seen.
We love to work with the community, and we definitely want to keep seeing it grow.
So keep thinking of cool ideas and keep contributing.
And I'm going to pass things off to Zebsi to be sure to give more of a holistic view of the foundation.
But I would say from the Crypto Economy Fund side, we have some really fun infrastructure and new things launching in the next couple of months.
So Zebsi, I'll hand things off to you.
Hey, everyone.
It's been a while since I've been in spaces, but it's great to see so many familiar faces in here.
And for those of you who don't know me, I'm part of the foundation, which is the ecosystem accelerator of Hedera.
And I work within the marketing and social media management team.
But really, you know, I wanted to sort of just, you know, raise and put the spotlight on some of the ecosystem projects that we've been working with sort of since inception that, you know, have been coming online recently.
You know, needless to say, you know, Karachi Combat's up here.
We've seen some really amazing stuff come out of that.
You know, a team that, you know, we started working with them, I think, about a year ago.
But in that time, they've achieved so much.
And, you know, that's with other ecosystem partners like Blade Wallet, of course.
But we're really starting to see these sort of, I think, you know, early ecosystem projects that were identified by the community and by Hedera and the foundation hit the main net.
And I think what's particularly exciting about this is kind of the network effects that have come with them.
You know, we've seen the job that Karachi Combat have done again of reaching out to other communities.
We've seen sort of influences all across the board really come in and start to see the work of Hedera, you know, the work of Lehman, the work of Mance.
But, of course, the community, you know, it's like we have this ability now through all of our partners, all of our projects to continuously highlight everything that's going on.
You know, that's the whole point.
We've got all of these different parts that are being in development, that are continually in development.
You know, we've got the DevRel team, we've got the SWAS team putting together all these parts so that when these use cases do go light, you know, there's the infrastructure and support from them.
And also, you know, the welcoming force, which is, of course, the community.
So we've seen, yeah, fantastic work from Karachi Combat, of course, in the Camp Generation, of course, in the network effects, of course, going on Joe Rogan.
So, you know, I can't forget that.
You know, that in itself, I think, has been a personal highlight for me so far.
But we've also seen other projects.
You know, we've seen 1 to 11, who are a gaming ecosystem outside of, or inside of India, rather.
They've gone live in the last couple of months.
They've seen, you know, hundreds or hundreds of thousands of accounts.
Also, you know, they've done an incredible job over there, rallying particularly the cricket community, you know, the IPL in the Indian Pro League, and India being a massive, massive force or tour de force out there in terms of sports.
So we've got 1 to 11 coming on.
We've got Christ Combat Live.
You know, we've got other ecosystem projects like Zenni in the travel ecosystem.
We've seen the FinTech and Payments.
We've seen Straight X come online with their, you know, new Singapore dollar stable coin.
And I think we're really starting to see, you know, all of these pieces sort of be put together and come to fruition.
And just from, you know, both internally but externally seeing this happen, you know, that's brilliant.
And I know the reception from everyone to these new people coming in has been fantastic.
And so I think if I could give a sort of brief overview, you know, I'm not on the business development team, but just a brief insight, I think, into some of the things that will be going on in the funds.
You know, of course, needless to say, you know, sustainability on Hedera is, you know, one of our biggest excelling points.
You know, thanks to Lehman's Hashgraph, you know, we are the most energy efficient ledger.
And with that, you can attract not only people that are green minded, but people that are green builders, people that want to leverage this technology because of its exceptional sustainability.
But also because of other things like the Hedera Garden, you know, we've got this ecosystem emerging on Hedera within sustainability that I think is really safe to say is sort of best in class at what it does.
You know, in terms of this ecosystem of carbon credits and ESG on DLT technology or DLT rather, it is sort of, you know, it really is sort of setting the precedent.
And the SIF team composers of, you know, Wes Geisenberger, who needs no new introduction, but also other figures such as Anya and Jonathan Rackle, and also the Suarez development team, many of them in there.
And collectively, this vision that they've got, this, you know, this sort of watertight vision is getting built more and more by the day.
You know, of course, we've got the big hitters like Atma, you know, the supply chain side of things.
But just the amount of conversation going on with people within refi, i.e. regenerative finance, who are looking towards, you know, the foundation and Hedera ecosystem as sort of, you know, voices in this space, you know, thought leaders in this space is fantastic.
And I think the SIF, you know, SWARDS is a part of that.
The Hedera, of course, is the foundation of that.
And Hedera is the foundation of that.
But also the HBAR Foundation as a part of that is, you know, they're a real tool to force.
And, you know, they've got not only the DAP ecosystem being built up, but also, crucially, the policy work.
You know, we've got people working with Vera, which is one of the leading sort of carbon credit, I guess, pools in the world alongside gold standard.
You know, there's work going on with them on policy.
There's all sorts of things to be excited about in that ecosystem.
And, you know, we're only going to hear more there.
And, again, that's a testament to everybody, including the community, including the burgeoning refi ecosystem.
And then you look towards the Metaverse Fund.
You know, of course, you know, the foundation, the beating heart of this sort of tokenization of the Metaverse Fund is our NFT community.
You know, this team or this, you know, this entire ecosystem of, A, not only creators, but, of course, as we've heard from Michael Builders, you know, pioneering these HIPs, which are going to continue to shape and make our ecosystem more attractive to bring in the projects that the foundation can bring in or bring in the projects that SWARDS and Hedera can bring in.
That is the heart.
You know, the community, the NFT community is the heart of keeping us at the cutting edge there.
And it's fantastic to see.
And I had a call today with Legends of the Past, you know, Basil and Co., the French team, who have been, you know, working exceptionally, I think, both on a community standpoint with Kabila and other partners, but also, you know, from just a perspective of gamers as a whole.
They're doing a great job there.
And, you know, of course, we've got Cosmium about to come online.
We've got Lethos.
We've got a lot of exciting things in the background, but also all the way through to things like loyalty.
You know, this is an ecosystem.
This is a fund has such a vast breadth that it can be loyalty, it can be gaming, it can be NFTs, music, whatever it is.
And we're seeing more and more of that.
And, of course, the Privacy Fund as well, we'll hear more about soon.
But I'm sorry, I think I'm overstepping my time.
But I think, you know, I'm saying all these amazing things and, you know, a lot has been achieved, but, of course, there's always a lot more to achieve.
And, you know, we understand that, I think, as the foundation, there's always stuff to learn.
There's always voices to be heard.
There's always new, exciting things that we need to be on top of.
So there's no sense of complacency.
And I think as a sort of final call that, you know, I have had conversations with, you know, the Dead Pixels team and I've had conversations with the Creamy's team.
But I really want to be here as a sort of a voice that can, you know, relay between the NFT community within our ecosystem and the foundation.
So I'd like to sort of get on top of that and talk to as many people as possible there so that we can continue to work sort of side by side.
But I'm going to take down from the stage now.
But, yeah, one more shout out to everybody in the Hedera community and all the builders.
To May, who's up there as well, of course, from the Hashback team that, you know, you can't understate the work they're doing there.
And everyone who's in this call, you know, thank you very much.
Zebsi, thank you so much for coming on and giving us such a beautiful overview.
It's always such a pleasure to have you speak to the community.
You're always on top of all of the developments and you're so appreciated.
You know, a lot has been going on in the community and in the ecosystem.
The ecosystem has been evolving from many different verticals.
I'm curious if Lehman has any thoughts on the way that the ecosystem has been evolving.
If you want to share, please feel free to do so.
But there definitely has been a lot of very surprising use cases and exciting use cases.
And one of them that's been very hyped up in Q2 has been karate combat, which we will get to later.
But I know that the community has been super excited about that.
And you've all done such a great job integrating all newcomers to the ecosystem within the community.
So, yeah, huge shout out to everyone, especially May from Hashback.
You're always so great.
And the next speaker that we have is you, May.
So, I just wanted to give you a little shout out there to say thank you for all the work that you do and for being so present within the community.
Happy to be here.
Thanks for the warm shout out to everybody.
Definitely, we're just trying to, you know, engage everybody and make sure that this community is as strong as it's ever been.
Just from the start, like the Hedera community has been fantastic and super active.
And it's great to see that that trend is continuing.
So, I'm here to talk mostly about Hashback and what we're going to do.
And I don't want to keep you guys too long because there's a lot of cool things that I'm sure everybody else is going to talk about.
So, for people who are new to Hedera, Hashback is the leading non-custodial wallet on the platform.
We're connected to all the dApps, the marketplaces, and DeFi.
So, if you want to do something on Hedera as a retail user, then hop on Hashback and check it out.
We've got a lot of cool things that make it really easy to access the ecosystem, like our dApp browser, like our community page.
Just hop on and just, you know, start having fun.
I think that this is a really great community.
So, on the kind of overview of Q2, Hashback has been really busy building things, not just for our users, but for reducing friction for brands that are moving into Web3.
And we've got a really great long-term strategy based around bringing real companies into the Web3 space and showing them the value add that Hedera and Hashback can bring for their brands.
So, I think that there's an opportunity here to really bring some cool use cases into the ecosystem.
Karate Combat is a great example, and I can't wait to hear from them, but I'll let them talk about that.
So, on the Hashback side, in Q2, we launched our Hashback store.
That was our biggest feature that came out about a month ago, and we minted a bunch of supporter and adopter cards.
They're like little 3D Hashbacks.
You can do like AR stuff with them.
They're really cool.
And we gave out about 26,000 of them for free to anyone who was around for that week just to say, hey, thanks for being with us.
Thanks for supporting us.
And we also sold 3,300 early supporter gold Hashbacks to our community as well as a way for them to help give back to us.
And this is kind of like the start of our community that we're trying to build of active, engaged fans of Hashback, and they give us their time and their effort, and we give back to them, and we set up this two-way communication channel.
So, we're really happy about the success of that launch.
We are about 3,000 HBAR away from being the highest volume mint in the past three months.
So, that was a really cool thing, even though we're not really an NFT project.
People are really excited about it.
And last week, we announced the first perks for our gold Hashback.
So, you get early access to new features and beta testing.
And we also, as of last week, if you hold a gold Hashback, you can have an exclusive gold theme to make your Hashback look just a little cooler.
We also added a Discord bot in our Discord server.
So, if you have a gold Hashback, you can verify that and then get access to an exclusive channel and a role.
You get a gold name and a little gold backpack by your name.
It's really cool.
And you get to be a part of this little exclusive community.
And finally, if you hold a gold Hashback, you'll get a 15% discount on all future store purchases because we just love you so much.
That's our store.
Next up is our audit.
This one is really big.
It's been a long time coming.
We've actually been trying to get this audit through since the beginning of the year.
Well, it's finally done.
We did it with Quantstamp.
It's in the final stages.
And we're just about ready to publish the results.
So, you guys just stay tuned for that.
And I just wanted to point out that, like, we've been working on this audit for a couple of months.
But for us, security is an ongoing process.
It's not a one-off thing.
It's not a...
We did an external audit with Quantstamp.
Bam, we're done.
It's great to have an external team look at our code and to review it for security issues.
And we definitely had a few things point out to us that are not that big, but we fixed them and it's great.
And this complements our internal security procedures that, you know, keep this wallet safe and keep your keys safe.
So, just stay tuned for news on that.
It's going to come up right away.
Next up, we also launched support for Decent hardware wallet.
And we have plans to support Citadel wallet when it comes up in the future.
So, in addition to Ledger, which has been, like, the mainstay in the Hedera community, we're adding more and more hardware wallets so that you guys can have choice of where you keep your HBARs, your NFTs, and how you interact with the network in a secure way.
Decent right now supports NFTs.
They support smart contracts and a lot of the basic transactions on the Hedera network.
So, they're really good.
And I'm sure that they'll continue to work and become a really big player in the hardware wallet community on Hedera.
And the final thing I want to add to my updates here is we hired a community experience specialist in May.
And if you guys are part of the Hedera community, you probably know him.
He's called L-E-D.
And he's a really, really great guy.
He helps us with our support channels.
He helps us with our community and engaging with them.
He's the one who set up the Discord bot.
And we really, we call them community experience specialists because what we want to do is foster a two-way communication channel with our users.
We love how engaged and active everybody is with us.
And it's one of the great things that's going for us.
So, we want to keep that rolling.
So, finally, we recognize there's a lot of Hashtag fans out there.
And we love to see everyone participating in our community.
And so, you know, come and chat us up on Discord.
Tweet us on Twitter.
We'll continue to find ways to reach out to all of you and make your experience the best in Web3.
Thanks very much.
Thank you so much for all the updates, May.
Very exciting stuff you've got going on.
And definitely, you have a very active and engaged community.
L-E-D is very great.
And so, yeah, I'm looking forward to following along the process of Hashtag developments.
Before we move on, I wanted to ask Lehman if he had any comments so far, if he wanted to say anything.
Yeah, it's just so exciting to see all the stuff that's going on.
And you talked about your minting huge numbers of NFTs.
That isn't your main thing.
This is just, it's just cool.
You see the excitement and the movement in this community and the huge amounts of creativity.
And it's just wonderful.
Amazing.
Yes.
We have such a lovely and supportive community.
The next speaker that we have is Karate Combat.
So, I will let you introduce yourselves, please.
Please go ahead.
The floor is yours.
Okay, I think the person on the Karate Combat account may not be the speaker.
So, let me see if I can let up the speakers.
All right.
I think we're good.
So, we have MAPE and only LARPing representing Karate Combat.
You hear me?
All right.
So, yeah.
We launched, I think, two weeks ago.
And we had several hundred thousand account creations in total.
I think I saw a Reddit post where it ended up being around 17% of total account creations on Hedera.
But, yeah.
We found a good pattern for launching or rather scaling these wallet creations in a stable-resistant manner.
And we did that in conjunction with Blade.
And we found a way to basically have these pre-made accounts and kind of mitigate this TPS limit on account creations while also paying for the gas fees of these users, which is the only way to really scale with the quantity of users that we have.
But the also exciting thing is that by abstracting this gas process, we were able to kind of abstract the entire crypto process from our non-crypto native users.
We have a large portion of our users which aren't familiar with crypto.
And so, they're able to use this app without being familiar with crypto at all.
So, they can play the up-only gaming and they're not really having to worry, be worried about transferring gas and whatnot.
So, that's pretty exciting.
And then the second thing is I think we're the first smart contract to rely on EC Recover for on-chain signature verification.
So, that was pretty exciting.
We worked with Greg to finally get that out onto Hedera mainnet.
It was on testnet for a while, I believe.
But through, yeah, in conjunction with him, we were able to get that into production.
And, yeah, I think right now we're planning to launch on Android and we expect three times more account creations.
And now that we have a good pattern to a civilly-resistant scale, we're pretty excited.
So, yeah, we have big airdrops coming out.
So, make sure to follow Karate Combat.
And, yeah, download the app on the App Store.
Just type in Karate Combat and you'll get a free airdrop as well.
I don't know if only LARPing has anything else to add about Product Roadmap.
Okay, there's been, there's an error with only LARPing.
I think, can you try to leave and request again?
Oh, that works.
Sorry about that.
Oh, good.
Welcome to the speakers panel.
Do you have any updates for us?
No, I mean, we've got some fun stuff happening over the next couple weeks.
I've been chatting with a lot of people in the Hedera, a lot of leaders in the Hedera community.
This week, we've got a kind of a fun kind of thank you and also an activation within the community that will be happening next week that we're super excited about.
And then we've got another live event coming up on June 24th.
So, if by chance anybody is anywhere near Miami and wants a ticket, we'd love to have you there.
Awesome.
Thanks for the updates.
And also for anyone on the speaker panel, while you're up here, you can actually pin tweets to the space.
I probably should have mentioned that earlier.
But if you guys have any updates you want to share with the space, you can go to your tweet and select to pin it here so that everyone can see it at the top of the spaces.
So, please feel free to share any updates in that way as well.
Okay.
I guess one thing I did forget to mention, I threw out a little tweet and it got a lot of traction in the community.
But, you know, Karate is listed on both Hedera and Ethereum.
But we've really seen the account scale on Hedera in a way that hasn't happened on Ethereum.
And it sort of just seems like a takeoff at this point.
We've got about 15,000 accounts on Hedera.
Pretty solid DEX liquidity, thanks to the folks at SaucerSwap and everybody that contributed to it.
So, I'm really excited to see what happens, especially with some of the stuff we have lined up for next week.
Yeah, definitely.
The uptick in account creations was crazy on Hedera.
Do you have any speculations as to why it was much higher on Hedera versus Ethereum?
I mean, I think it's a combination of fees and UX.
So, our mobile app works exclusively on top of Hedera.
And that's really the tool we've been using to activate, you know, a large number of people coming to look to play the game.
So, there's a web app deployed across both networks, but our mobile app is purely on Hedera.
And, you know, the low fees and fast speed allows us to really onboard a ton of people very quickly.
But there's definitely some networks effects to it at this point.
You know, I'd speculate that not just the number of accounts, but also the kind of sex liquidity is probably a lot greater on Hedera at this point than Ethereum as well.
Very cool.
Thank you so much for the updates.
Just a reminder, also, I do need to keep rotating the speakers.
We've got Blade Wallet on as well.
So, Blade, I know you've been working closely with Karate Combat.
I'll give the floor to you for an introduction and updates.
Thank you so much, Mika.
Hi, everyone.
Hi, Hedera community.
This is Ince.
I'm the chief creative officer and one of the co-founders at Blade.
And really, really thrilled to be here today to tell you about all the things that Blade Labs has been working on.
As you may already know, we started our journey at the beginning of last year and positioned ourselves as a partner-led business-to-business wallet provider proudly built on Hedera.
And we launched our beta version of Blade Wallet on the 29th of April.
Fast forward 13 months of wonderfully hard and rewarding work with enterprise partners like LG Art Lab, 1211, Xenny, and obviously Karate Combat, who's on the call right now.
And we've proudly passed the creation of 1 million user accounts through Blade.
For us, we're celebrating this milestone, and we wanted to truly showcase one of the many benefits on Hedera, namely the low and predictable costs.
So we decided to strip out all of the Blade fees from our wallet, which we recently announced.
Now that we've proven the scalability and reliability of our technology, we decided we're moving our focus away from account creation and focusing more on maximizing the activity.
We thought that the taking away of fees was a good first step.
Hedera, as a Layer 1, really, we believe, is deliberately designed in a way to deliver speed and scalability and security that we all really take for granted.
For example, the need for manual-associating tokens provides our users with much-needed levels of security that other Layer 1s do not offer.
We also believe that it is a wallet's responsibility to be the user experience layer of Hedera.
Our goal, therefore, for the next quarter is to really focus our efforts in providing as seamless a user experience as possible from the moment a user downloads our app.
To that end, we're looking to add features like decentralized recovery, as well as on- and off-ramp wizards to deliver as close to a Web2 experience as possible whilst remaining non-custodial and not compromising on security.
Telling non-Web3 natives that we cannot help them if they lose their secret recovery phrase is becoming less and less acceptable, as we move closer to crossing the chasm of eventually getting to mass adoption.
The days of, quote-unquote, doing-your-own-research really are disappearing, as we really, really, all of us are leaning into helping users understand and experience a true utility of Web3 as a whole, and specifically the wonders of Hedera.
So earlier this year, we launched our dual-network wallet.
That initially enabled users to create a Hedera and Ethereum account simultaneously with a single private key and give users the choice to view either account in the wallet with a single click.
Over time, we've added additional features and functions to enhance the capabilities of our wallet.
We empower users to seamlessly interact between accounts and perform more and more actions from either account.
Seeing that Hedera's EVM equivalence initiative could not have come at a better time for us, and we're so excited that there's so much being done to reduce all of these hurdles and continue to build on Hedera.
In that vein, we're also very, very excited to announce that after doing our part to help build Hedera Wallet Connect, we're now working on activating EVM Wallet Connect.
This will allow Blade wallet users to connect and interact with hundreds of DAFs that are on the other network, giving more reasons for Ethereum natives to try a wallet built on Hedera and experience all the benefits that we all get to enjoy daily being on Hedera, which will hopefully help our community grow even further.
As part of our initiative to optimize user experience, our team has also been working on finalizing integrations on Hedera that we have not been able to do while being heavily focused on delivering the products and services of our existing enterprise partners, which we just mentioned earlier.
We're also going to be working on engaging with our growing community even more to make sure that we're prioritizing features and services that our users are asking for.
So you'll start seeing us more and more on these speaking engagements, and we do invite the community to let us know what they need from us and what we can do better.
Moving forward as well, Blade is really excited to launch version 2 of our wallet later in July, which we plan to optimize current features, as well as work on adding some compelling reasons for users to return to Blade wallet accounts on a regular basis.
We'll also be looking to launch version 1 of our version 1 of Blade console, which is going to provide a strong foundation for Blade to engage and introduce Web 2 audiences to Web 3.
Finally, there's something I'm quite personally excited about, which is happening this summer.
So I'm based in the UK, and my background actually comes from dealing with luxury brands in hospitality and fashion and many other areas.
So we are currently working with a premium London-based hospitality events company to enable some real-world applications for Web 3 technology to engage audience in ways that have never been experienced before.
We'll be empowering visitors of this event to vote for their favorite cocktails and bars, celebrate on socials, and enter chances to win more cocktails, win drinks, hampers, as well as weekend stays at some of London's best hotels, all by using your Blade wallet.
So if you guys find yourselves in London between the 6th and 8th of July this summer, we really do invite you to join us at Cocktails in the City 2023.
On a side note as well, I'm getting pretty excited about Karate Combat 40.
Last season, Karate Combat 39, I literally got nearly 100%. I was one pick away from 100%.
So I'll be doing a lot of research, and I hope everyone else will be doing, in the run-up to KC40.
I wanted to remind everyone that you can build up your KC tokens by directly purchasing from your Blade wallet Karate Combat tokens, and we will be also adding this functionality to our residents in India through our partners with OnMeta.
Overall, we're really incredibly proud of what we've been doing, and we're really excited that we've been able to share all the things that we're working on.
Thank you so much for letting us be part of this amazing Hedera community, and we can't wait to show you what the future of Blade and Hedera has in store.
Thanks so much.
Amazing. Thank you so much for the updates. Lots of cool features that you're working on there for sure.
And I think today we have a lot of wallets presenting. Our next presenter is also a wallet.
We have Citadel wallet, and this one is one that has been requested by the community.
So, by popular demand, here is Citadel. Andy, please introduce yourself.
Hi, Mika. Thanks for having me. Can you hear me well?
Loud and clear.
Nice, nice.
Yeah, first, I wanted to thank Hedera for organizing this community call on Twitter Spaces, really giving a chance and an opportunity to a lot of really exciting projects in Hedera ecosystem to come showcase, talk about their projects, and also hear from other great projects as well.
So, we've been building a hardware wallet for Hedera network, and it's been close to a year already.
It's really hard to believe that a year has passed.
About two months ago, we launched our pre-orders, wallet pre-orders, through Headstarter platform.
But before that, it took about six to eight months to develop the wallet from concept and idea stage all the way to a prototype, working initial prototype.
And at the time, we were able to demo to the users, to the community, that with this hardware wallet, prototypes, we're able to pair with our partner, Hashback Wallet, software wallet, and start signing some of the most popular Hedera transactions.
HBAR transfers, native staking, token transfers, and NFT transfers as well.
We wanted to make sure that by the time we go to pre-orders and get some support from the community, we have that prototype working, so it's not really just an idea on the page.
We want to make sure we prove to the community, get the trust of the community we're able to build this wallet, because it's not really an easy task to build a hardware wallet, as you can imagine.
There is a lot of different things that we need to juggle, starting from the mechanical design, the product look, you have to deal with a lot of manufacturing things, the injection molding, the types of plastics, going into the electronic design, which I completely did myself being an electrical engineer, did all the research into all kinds of different secure components in the market.
Some of the cutting edge components that kind of push the limits of what's possible in terms of security, compared to everything else, all the other hardware wallets available in the market.
And, of course, the software and firmware development, I'm really happy that I've been working with HeadStarter's software development arm.
The great thing about this developer team, they're very experienced, very knowledgeable in Hethera, and at the same time, very experienced in developing embedded applications for these kinds of very small, low-power microprocessor-based devices.
It is a little bit of a different kind of expertise needed for building wallets like this.
Our goal is to develop this wallet native to Hedera to be able to support all Hedera's services.
And not only services that people are using, daily users are using on a daily basis, which are the HBAR transfers, NFTs, tokens, scheduled transactions.
But we want this wallet to also serve as a great tool to developers, projects, even enterprises who want to secure the keys, manage their keys securely, even mint their collections, mint their tokens, manage these keys.
Because, as you can imagine, if the keys of these projects that manage their tokens and NFTs get compromised, it can become a huge risk for the project's future.
So, our goal is not to only appeal to daily users, but also projects and developers, which is increasing, kind of pushing the boundaries of what people have been looking at hardware wallets beforehand.
And we really want to be the first and serve as an example that hardware wallets are not really just for storing and sending crypto.
There is so much more that can be done with these kinds of products.
And the industry is very new.
There is very few companies that are thinking long-term and thinking where else this wallet industry can go to.
We hope to be one of the first and serve as a great example to other projects as well.
In terms of last two months, I mentioned that we did the wallet pre-orders two months ago.
And it was very successful.
I'm really happy with the results.
We kind of adopted the Web2 Kickstarter model into Web3.
And what it allowed us is to kind of engage the community even more because in Kickstarter model, people will go on the website and donate or pre-order the products and then have no way of knowing who else has invested, engaged with that project.
With Web3 and NFT way of crowdfunding and getting the pre-orders, immediately you get the community engaged and community can kind of find each other as well.
We have the Discord.
We have the Twitter.
These NFTs represent the hardware wallets.
But at the same time, they're cool, really high quality pieces of art, which they can showcase on Twitter and get even more engagement.
And it helps to promote the project even more.
So I'm really happy that we kind of we were also one of the very first projects.
I haven't seen any project doing something like this in Web3 using NFTs as a way to pre-order actual physical devices, especially for a company that is just starting out.
And quickly moving into development progress made last two months after the pre-orders, I forgot to mention, we received over 2,000 wallet pre-orders.
We have continued the developments on three major fronts.
Mechanical design was close to final at the time of pre-orders.
We have made some minor modifications.
We have finalized the colors, the surface finish of the plastic enclosure.
The wallets look amazing.
We'll have some images shared very soon.
I have them sitting on my desk right now.
And I keep staring at them because they just look so awesome.
On the electronic design side, there wasn't need for much changes.
We just made a few tweaks because, as you can imagine, for a hardware, electronic device that also has a Bluetooth interface, we need to comply with certain regulatory standards.
And we had to go through some tests to be able to sell the wallets in certain geographic regions.
And then, of course, the software, firmware development, as I said, Launchpad, Builder Labs, HeadStarter's software development arm has been helping us with the software development,
currently focused mainly on adding support for more Hedera services.
On the secure element and secure architecture development side, we have a security consultant and expert working with us continually to improve those side of things as well.
It's very critical.
And I wanted to make sure that we bring on board someone who has a lot of experience in that field and this person that works with us has experience in banking industry,
developing secure applications for smart cards and credit cards and things like that, which are also based on variations of the secure elements.
They're very similar to the secure elements utilized in hardware wallets.
So, that's been going on in parallel as well.
We have made a lot of progress there as well.
And, of course, the user interface.
One of my main goals with this hardware wallet is not only to build a very secure and appealing wallet,
but also the user interface needs to be very seamless, simple looking, but also very intuitive looking.
So, people can interact with it.
There is a touch screen on the display.
So, instead of going through pages to see the mnemonic phrase, for example,
you can easily scroll and record all the words in the mnemonic phrase and then move to the next steps.
So, in terms of user interface, we have made a lot of progress as well,
getting help from some UI designers on HeadStarter team as well.
So, that's the overall update from Citadel Wallet.
We have a lot of exciting things coming, announcements.
We also have the NFT project, which was the way to pre-order the wallets,
but we have a lot of plans for the NFTs in the collection as well,
which will have more utilities associated with Citadel Wallet and the NFT collection itself.
A lot of really cool things going.
I just wanted also to just give a shout out to all Hedera projects, NFT projects,
DeFi projects, a lot of new projects that are coming out.
A lot of the motivation has come and inspiration has come from this project.
And taking examples of all the great things that these projects are doing,
we were able to put them together and come up with a build our project
and get the support from the community.
And it's been a crazy ride, exciting ride.
It's not easy to build a hardware wallet,
but we are at a really strong stage in terms of development and moving forward,
hoping to share some exciting news in the near future.
Amazing. Andy, thank you so much for the updates.
And the hardware wallet looks super sleek.
I pinned a tweet to the top of the space here so you guys can all have a look at it.
Great job on the design.
And thanks for the updates.
Okay, so we have our next project that will present for us today.
We have Kabila app, also demanded by the community.
So, Kabila, please give us an introduction and some updates.
Thank you, Mika.
Very, very excited to be here.
It's an honor to be here and share the panel with such amazing projects in the ecosystem.
My name is Jack.
I'm part of the Kabila team, joined towards the beginning of this year.
And I take care of all the content, marketing, social media, and community building alike.
But let's talk about Kabila.
Just to give a little bit of context, a little bit of background to what Kabila is
before I share a few of the updates, a few of the things that we've been working on,
which is not a little.
So, it's going to be hard to compress it all into these 5-10 minutes,
but I'm going to do my best.
I really want to do justice to the team back at Kabila headquarters as well.
So, what is Kabila?
We're building an ecosystem, an ecosystem for tokenized communities.
I think, like many of us here, we see a future, a tokenized future, a tokenized economy.
So, we want to build an ecosystem to support this future.
So, at Kabila, we call it the oasis, in line with our law and storyline that we have at Kabila
and the PFP that you see, which I'll tell you a little bit more later, the CWAS.
They are noble defenders of Web3.
And at Kabila, we want to really invite not just those already in Web3,
but those in Web2 to taste the oasis and the technology that we have here at Hedera
and all of the tools and ecosystem that we're building here at Kabila
so they can tokenize their community and take back their power as creators and brands.
A little bit more about that when I get to the why.
So, we're working on creating a decentralized ecosystem
to help creators and brands create, launch, and manage their tokenized communities
using what we call brand NFTs.
Because in a tokenized future, of course, there'll be tangible items,
like a house that will be tokenized,
but we believe all brands will eventually become tokenized.
So, we're really creating an ecosystem with three fundamental pillars to support this.
One of them, essential, fundamental, are the tools, right?
From NFT creation to an art engine to generate the art from bulk senders
and, of course, our self-service launchpad, which is also fully customizable.
Self-service, this is something I really want to highlight.
It doesn't mean that you're on your own.
It means that you're in control of your project, of your creation.
We really have a top-notch tech team, customer service,
and support throughout your journey when you're using our tools,
using our platform, using the launchpad to launch your NFT collection,
whether you're a brand, a creator, etc.
So, why, Kabila, going back to the tokenized future that we envision,
is that we believe that through tokenizing a brand, for example,
if we think of, like, social media,
all of the value that we create online,
all of the attention that we generate,
and the communities that we build,
they end up living on these big platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube,
whereas through NFTs and tokenizing those communities,
we can recover our social space.
And we believe this is massive.
It's a revolution for the creator, for brands,
and for that dynamic between communities and the creator,
the community and the artist, customers and the brand, right?
Because this also goes beyond the digital world and into Web2 businesses,
which, you know, are already online through Web2.
But we're closing that gap, right,
between the token holder and the brand itself.
And we think this is really powerful.
So building an ecosystem to support that.
Let me talk about the three pillars of Kabila.
As I've said, the tools, which are fundamental,
but then the support alongside those tools.
So education is a massive pillar at Kabila,
which we're working on a lot at the moment.
Kabila Academy, whether that be tutorials for our platform,
but also educational videos on the technology itself.
You know, just really simple, basic terms.
What are NFTs?
How, why should I tokenize my community, my brand?
What are the benefits of that?
So we really want to push education out into the world
to support, to, you know, to invite people to that oasis, right,
that we talk about at Kabila.
And then, of course, there's the community.
We all know how important community is.
The Hedera community, the Web3 community,
and even outside of Web3,
the communities and the fans that form around a brand,
around a vision, an idea.
So it's no different here at Kabila.
And as I mentioned before,
the idea of decentralizing Kabila slowly,
progressively, a bit like Hedera,
we really take inspiration from the governing council
and how there's that progressive decentralization.
So through our NFTs and through the KBL,
the Kabila utility token that will be launching in the future,
the end goal is that Kabila will be community-owned and governed.
So this is the end goal.
And, yeah, step by step.
So that, obviously, we're working on a lot.
Moving into the updates,
which ties a little bit into what I just said,
on the level of NFTs.
Last month, we launched our CWES,
the PFP collection,
our first PFP collection.
I'm wearing it today as a PFP.
You can see there's been a lot of excitement
over the last month within our community,
within the Hedera community.
And what else are we working on?
So, obviously, with projects launching on our platform,
with every launch, there's improvements,
there's refinements on the launch pad,
especially the UI, the UX,
and all of the tools.
With all the feedback that we get
from each and every project,
there's constant refinement.
The team is never stopping on that end.
There's a rebrand coming
to the actual visual of Kabila.
But also, there's going to be a slight distinction
between up until now,
there's been the wallet that we have.
Our non-custodial HBAR wallet
has been integrated within the tools.
We're going to be separating that.
So it's going to have its own browser extension.
So you're going to be able to use this independently
to the toolkit, let's say,
or together.
And there will be a market.
There will be...
There's the plazas,
which obviously ties everything together.
But I can't say too much about the plazas
at this moment in time
because it's a little way off.
But this is the social...
Recovering that social space
through a tokenized brand, let's say,
that we're working on consistently.
We're also working together
with leading wallet providers in the space
on the Wallet Connect standard.
The team is very, very, very busy
building out this Wallet Connect
that we as a community,
the Hedera community,
is anticipating
that will allow seamless
interconnection between dApps
throughout the ecosystem.
I already mentioned the Kabula Academy.
Of course, we host our weekly spaces.
We're constantly working on tutorials.
And we offer free strategy sessions as well.
You know, video calls.
We love to jump on video calls
with as many projects as we can,
get to know the humans behind the PFPs,
and just, you know,
see where we can help
in what part of the process
we can jump in and support,
whether that be with the tools
or just strategy.
And then, of course,
we have our recently formed
ambassador program,
which formed just before
the CWAS Mint last month.
And this is kind of like
the inner core of the community.
And this is the third pillar
that I would mention earlier.
Obviously, there's the team at Kabula,
but then there's the inner core
of the community,
kind of like an extension of the team.
And we're formalizing
an ambassador program
and a plan, a mission,
an incentive structure,
and also kind of like
a community governing system
where the token holders,
whether that be of the CWAS
or of our Gen Zero collection,
they can, you know,
submit proposals
and we'll be having,
you know, to improve
the ecosystem of Kabula
and what we're building
and the direction.
So again, slowly, progressively
decentralizing the ecosystem
that was born, you know,
by create, it was created,
sorry, it was born
and built by creators for creators.
So this ecosystem
is slowly but surely,
yeah, decentralizing
with that community.
A few KPIs,
125 creators slash communities
are using the tools.
5,000 different users
that have used the app
like in its time of existence.
We're going to have
our first anniversary next year.
Sorry, next year.
Next month.
That's in July.
We're going to be having
an in real life event
with our holders in Spain
with a nice, tasty paella
in Valencia.
For those of you
that don't know,
the original team
is based in Spain.
And yeah,
with 50,000 minted NFTs.
So that's on our launchpad.
And the launchpad went live
last December.
So in just a few months.
And last but not least,
just give a shout out
and share,
just give some flowers,
I guess,
to those on the panel here today,
to the Swelts team,
to the HBAR Foundation,
the Hashgraph Association,
for all the incredible support
in many areas.
It's so, so key,
especially in a market
like the current one,
not just from
these organizations,
but from other amazing
dApps and projects
that are building
on Hedera.
The community is so tight-knit.
It's so supportive.
And it's just,
it's a joy for us
not to only be building
with such amazing tech,
thanks to Lehman
and everyone else
that contributes
to this ecosystem
developing and evolving.
But the community
is just amazing.
It just,
it's,
it's a joy.
And we're so optimistic
about the future.
And we'll just keep working
day and night
to build easy-to-use
NFT infrastructure
for both Web2,
sorry,
for both Web3
and Web2 brands,
communities
and creators alike.
Yeah, excited.
And just,
Okay, amazing.
Kavilla,
thank you so much.
You've become so integrated
in the community
and thank you
for participating
in it so wholeheartedly
with the Wallet Connect
initiative
and extending help
to the community
just in so many
different forms as well.
That's greatly appreciated.
So we've gone
a little over time.
Lehman had to leave.
I think he must have
had a meeting.
But I wanted to say
thank you,
everybody,
for being here today.
Before we go,
I wanted to give
the floor to
Hello Future Buzz.
So we've got
Elizabeth on
who has a little bit
of an update for us
on an event
that she's been planning.
Elizabeth,
the floor is yours.
thanks.
I will be very quick.
I love what Kavilla
was saying,
get to know the humans.
So October,
the first weekend
of October,
there will be
a Hello Future Live
event in Los Angeles
in the Arts District
with panel discussions,
vendor opportunities
to show your project
or business,
as well as all
the H-Barbarians
who are planning
on coming.
So just follow
Hello Future Live
on Twitter,
the website
hellofuture.live.
is up and running,
even though it's
a living document,
it will be updated
all the time.
But at the bottom
of that website,
hellofuture.live,
is a sub-stack newsletter
that you can sign up for
to get the news
via email.
So I want to thank
Swirls Labs
for kicking off
the sponsorship
of the event
and encourage you all
to contact me
via DM
for any of your needs.
Also,
if any project
wants to write
an 800-word article
with a photo
or video
about your project,
please do that
and submit it
via DM
and we'll get that
up and running
on the blog portion
of Hello Future Live
to highlight you
and maybe get you
noticed on
Twitter top articles.
Awesome.
Thank you so much.
Looking forward
to everything
that's coming up
in the community
for Q3.
So before we go,
I just wanted
to wrap up
by saying thank you
to everyone
who's taking the time
to come onto the panel
and give some updates.
Thank you for everyone
that's so active
and engaged
in the community.
Thank you everyone
for always being
so supportive
and kind to everybody.
We've got a really
great community
and I think everyone's
super happy
to be here
and be a part of it.
So for the next
community calls,
like I mentioned before,
the cadence
will be upped a little.
We'll do it
on a monthly cadence
starting either next month
or the following month
and we want to get
you guys more involved
so we're working
on creating new processes
to get the community
voices heard more
so that there's
more direct communication
between Swirls Labs
and the community.
So if you guys
ever have any feedback
or suggestions
for Swirls Labs,
you guys can reach out
to me directly.
I'm defigirlxo
on Discord
and Twitter.
You guys can also
head to the feedback
channel directly
on Discord.
So feedback
is always welcome
and I look forward
to collaborating
with all of you
in the future
and on future
community calls.
So thank you all
for being here
and we'll see you
on the next one.
Bye everybody.
