Full Transcription
Testing, testing.
Give me a thumbs up if you can hear me okay.
Okay.
Sweet.
Nice one.
Still haven't figured this music thing out.
I'm not going to play it through my laptop as my laptop speaker is a little bit.
I don't know how you say it, crackly.
Maybe no music is better than crackly music, right?
And hopefully you can understand my voice today.
Hopefully I'm not speaking with a weird lisp or something.
I had a tooth implant yesterday.
So, maybe a little bit of pain is still lingering.
Dope growers here, bunny bites here.
All right, let's just wait a few more minutes, guys.
All right.
How are we doing, dog growers?
All good?
Hey, hey, hey.
All good.
All good.
Nice.
Your audio is pretty dope.
I mean, there's no lisp or any other thing.
You're good, man.
Don't worry.
Sweet.
Hopefully the dog stayed quiet as well because he sat right underneath me.
So, I'm alone at home at the moment, just me and the dog.
So, hopefully he doesn't start barking.
Well, I'm not sure about that because dogs like attention and it's like good kind of attention.
So, I don't think a few barks here and there we all wouldn't mind because most of us like dogs.
Oh, good then.
I might bring him up to speak in a bit then if I run out of things to say.
So, I think we've got dimensions here right now.
Bunny bites, dog growers and we're waiting for Hive NFT, right?
Let me just ping them.
I'm sure they're super busy.
Time zones and all that.
I've been requesting the higher orders to come up with a new standard called as the NFT standard time
because most of the time goes into figuring out who's online when, who's free when
and I think around two to three days goes into trying to get everyone agree on a time
and most of the times we don't end up on time.
So, we have a time problem when it comes to NFTs.
Web 3, right?
Never sleep.
So, I think we should all just go off UTC, right?
That's the standard.
But I'm sure the Americans disagree.
All right.
Let's start because I've pinged Hive NFT.
All right.
Today, we do have four projects supposed to be coming up.
So, that's dope growers, bunny bites, dimension.
I hope I'm saying that right.
Dimension.
And Hive NFT app.
So, I think, Bunny Bites, you were here first.
I'll let you just say like a 60-second intro.
Just say who you are, who's on the team and basically what Bunny Bites is just in 60 seconds pitch.
Hello, guys.
Good to be here.
My name is Lockton Lucas.
I'm the CEO and head of marketing of Bunny Bites.
Well, Bunny Bites is simply put a community-based, art-driven, utility-facilitated IP brand.
We're here to provide live entertainment to the space in the form of a raffle platform.
The raffle platform is live.
I can't wait to get into the details.
And we've been using Helio as the payment service.
We have dope art.
We have a dope team.
We have a dope cause.
We have a dope why.
And I can't wait to tell you everything about it.
How was that, bro, for 60 seconds?
Well, I was just checking my settings and I thought I was on like, you know, when you
can speed up the volume.
I thought it was on 1.5x.
No way.
You just missed that, bro.
You just missed that, bro.
No, that was clear, man.
It was clear.
It was good.
Perfect intro.
Perfect, man.
Thank you, Lucas.
Locked in, Lucas, there from Bunny Bites.
Next up, let's go.
Dope Growers, give us your quick 60-second intro.
Well, I can't be as quick as Lucas, but he already gave us some promo because he repeated
dope like four times.
And we are Dope Growers Society.
What we intend to do is we intend to decentralize plantations of cannabis and we want to sell
it to the medicinal cannabis markets.
We have already started building the operations, the grow operations, and we launched our general
collection around January 24th.
It was a complete sellout and we are going to launch Gen 1 soon.
And we are taking Helio's help with pre-sales and anything related to payments.
We also have a dope shop, by the way, which is crypto-powered thanks to Helio.
We accept orders from EU, UK, and anyone can buy products right now using USDC.
We might have some surprise giveaways as we progress through the spaces, but I'll give
more details because I think I'm up with 60 seconds now.
But yeah, I'm pretty sure I can talk a bit later.
That's awesome, man.
Appreciate it.
And just like Bunny Bites has done right there, has pinned a tweet to this spaces.
Dope Growers, if you want to pin a link to your dope shop, feel free or whatever you want
to link to.
Dimensions, do you want to come up and just give us your 60-second pitch?
Certainly so.
I mean, I'll speak on behalf of Dimensions.
So my name is Vertix.
I'm one of the founders of Dimensions in terms of myself.
Experience-wise, I'm an engineer by trade, been in the crypto market since 2018 in terms
of Dimensions.
Dimensions is a group and a brand that's being built around a culture of success, creation
and opportunities.
We look to provide different product solutions into the ecosystem through a series of steps
and also allowing people to find unique opportunities to move from where they are to where they
want to be.
Whether it's in a bear market, a bull market, it's irrespective.
It's all about finding those opportunities and just keep allowing people to really move
into the life they want.
Awesome.
So yeah, there you go.
There's three different projects.
Totally different.
I like the diversity that we're getting here on the Helio Thursday.
Helio Spotlight.
So next one and final project we have is Hive NFT app.
So do you want to come up and give us your 60-second pitch, please?
Yeah.
How are you guys going?
Thanks for having us.
Welcome, welcome.
Hive is a Tinder for NFTs and all things Web3.
Swipe right if you like.
Swipe left if you don't.
Users can discover and learn about NFTs across all different blockchains and marketplaces.
And yeah, that's what we're at right now.
We're doing a pre-sale and a soft launch in June.
Helio is helping us with the pre-sale with multiple.
We've connected with so many different Polygon itself.
So many different Polygon groups and Solana groups because we're dropping cross-chain 5,555.
NFTs, 555 over on Solana and 5,000 on Polygon.
Multi-chain, man.
And you'll be doing a multi-chain pre-sale, right?
Yes, multi-chain pre-sale as well.
Just because we want to stick, we want to keep the same move that we currently are.
We're an agnostic application that brings Polygon, Solana, Ethereum, AVOX, BNB, and all sorts of different blockchain NFTs and Web3 companies to one place.
So we want to keep that going with dropping our collection on multi-chain as well.
Sounds good, man.
Can't wait to hear more.
And yeah, like I say, another completely different kind of project.
This is the Tinder of Web3.
Awesome.
Looking forward to hear more.
And we have a special guest today.
CryptoApe is here to join us.
This guy pretty much lives on Spaces.
So how are you doing, man?
What time is it there for you in the morning?
It's about 5 a.m. or something?
No, no, no.
It's just around noon.
I just wrapped up my morning show and just came through with the homies over here.
So I told them the Heliospace is popping.
So we wrapped that up.
I appreciate it.
Appreciate it, man.
Thanks for joining us.
And what shit coins are you trading?
That's the question I wanted to ask you.
Too many, my friend.
Too many.
I'm playing.
I've scaled down a bit.
I was doing a lot of these shit coins earlier in the week.
It was getting a bit too distracting.
So I ended up not doing too many.
I am watching the sweets token, though.
It looks pretty decent.
I know the D-guys are pretty much pumping that one.
So that's kind of the only reason I'm watching that one.
But that one and another one called Turbo I'm looking at.
So those are the two that I got on my eyes right now.
Nice, nice.
Not financial advice, right?
Definitely not financial advice.
Don't follow me, guys.
For people who...
Yeah, go on.
Cypher J.
How are you doing?
Adam's our Helio shitcoin expert.
He keeps trying to shill us all and sundry that he keeps coming across.
No, absolutely not.
I have no idea what's going on.
That's why I'm asking CryptoApe.
I want some financial advice.
No, but I did actually ape in a little bit of USDC into sweets just because I know the guys there.
But, I mean, once again, not financial advice.
Yeah, I mean, I prefer NFTs.
You know, you know what you're...
You kind of know what you're getting, especially if you can learn about the project.
But, anyway, maybe it will blow over sooner than later.
What do you think, Cypher J?
What are you aping in?
I haven't bought any.
I haven't got time to buy shitcoins.
And they're too risky.
I'd sooner like build stuff.
That's where we'll create some value instead of aping in.
But we will add a few to the platform, right?
If they're legitimate and they've got a good roadmap.
And if they offer airdrop to Helions, hopefully.
Yeah.
That's one of the things I'm trying to get for the Helions.
Oh, Helions is here, actually.
So, let me invite...
We have a co-host today.
So, obviously, I'm Adam, hosting from Helio now.
We're going to be doing the Helio spotlight from the Helio handle, which makes sense.
But then, obviously, we've got to have Helions involved somehow.
And let me...
Yeah, there we go.
Should be up now.
Welcome up.
How are you doing?
Can you hear me okay?
Hey, good, man.
Yeah.
Can you hear me?
Yeah, GM, GM.
All good.
GM, everyone.
Do you want to give a quick intro?
Let everyone know who's behind the Helions handle now?
Yeah, absolutely.
So, my name is Sonny.
I go by Sonny Mons on Twitter.
I just started as a BD at Helio, and we'll be working a little bit on the Helions account
as well, as well as just reaching out to a bunch of projects and making more partnerships
in this space.
Awesome.
Great to have you on the team, man.
All right.
I think we should kick it off with who was first.
Let me remember.
Bunny Bites, you were here first, right?
It's only right to let you go first.
Let's talk about the project.
Let's talk about the team.
I know founder is Hairpreneur, right?
Yes, that's right.
He's in the audience as well.
I'm just the one who usually holds the spaces because I like to chat, man.
I like to chat.
The stage is yours, man.
Tell us about Bunny Bites.
First of all, I want to say hi.
I see a lot of friends in the listeners, in the speakers.
Hi, CryptoApe.
Hi, Vertix.
Hi, Hive.
Hi, Cypher.
Hi, everyone.
Thanks for having me.
So, what is Bunny Bites?
I'll get right into it straight to the point.
I don't want to bore you with technical stuff or stuff that you are not going to remember,
but rather give you an overview, which I hope that you remember Bunny Bites by.
We are here to provide live entertainment to the space in the form of a raffle platform.
Now, the question would be, okay, Locked in, Lucas,
but there are so many raffle platforms, so why did you decide to do a different raffle platform?
Well, what differentiates us from other raffle platforms is that it's entirely live,
so you can see the numbers being drawn out in real time, as well as you have a live chat.
So, we want to improve the user experience on the platform in the sense that you don't just buy the tickets for the raffle
and then you go by with your day and you forget about it.
No, you can literally sit there with your friends, stick around, have fun, enjoy.
You connect with the Twitter.
Also, there's a Discord chat, which is connected to the platform directly, so it's all interconnected.
And it's also that live experience that, for example, if you have like an NFT, which is high stake,
maybe like your raffle, D-God, then I assume that instead of just waiting for the raffle to end and seeing who won,
you can actually see some animation, some sort of movement, something that keeps you entertained in there
while you watch it with your friends and you can communicate.
That's also, you can see it on top.
I pinned it.
That's a sneak peek of the raffle.
We are obviously partnered with Helio for the payment service.
We want to collaborate.
We've already established projects in the space to improve reliability and security
and also give more people some trust to try out our platform
because us being a new name to the space, it's a much-needed help that Helio is providing for us.
Now, we are releasing our DevNet version and people will be able to test the platform.
I think it's even live now or in 30 minutes.
And we're just doing this in order to check for bugs, see exactly what's happening,
what we can improve, get some opinions, some suggestions.
And apart from that, about the team, the team, it's our five core members.
It's me, who is the CEO and head of marketing.
It's Harry Prenor, who is in the chat, and he's the lead developer and the founder.
Apart from that, we have Bugs, who is the chief operational officer.
And we have two more Devs who are working with Bugs, as well as two junior Devs.
So, we have quite a big team, I could say.
Apart from that, we have like four collab managers, four mods.
We have a lot of people on board.
Now, I don't want to get into too many details.
Perhaps you have some questions about the platform.
I would like to talk also about Art after this.
Please, Bo.
Yeah, absolutely.
I noticed you do have a big team.
I think I counted 14 in total.
So, decent sized team.
See your Twitter and Discord are pumping.
You've, you know, definitely built a bit of hype.
So, well done there.
Congratulations so far.
I also checked out the deck.
I like the style of the deck that you went for, which is, you know, a video.
Definitely a nice format for someone who doesn't like to read too much.
I have a question.
Can you just touch on, like, what is the Magic Land?
And then what is the Carnival?
Explain it.
Okay.
So, the Magic Land is basically the Bunny Bytes ecosystem.
It's everything that Bunny Bytes is about.
It's not only the platforms.
It's not only the technical stuff.
It's also community.
It's also in real life events.
Because Bunny Bytes is not only planning to conquer the Web3 world digitally, but also physically.
So, for example, I met with CryptoApe while I was in New York City at the convention.
I also went to Paris for NFT Paris.
And it was just so much fun.
My best connections actually were made while I was there, which is crazy, because I just flew out to New York from Eastern Europe.
And I've met with so many people.
So, that's certainly something that Bunny Bytes wants to do in the future.
Apart from this, yes, you asked us about Magic Land and the Carnival.
The Carnival is basically the set of tools that we're going to provide to the space.
The first one is the Rappel platform.
But we have many more platforms coming to the space, all which have live entertainment.
So, it's not something that you haven't seen done before.
But we believe it's certainly something that you haven't seen done as good before.
Because as the space move forward, competition is very important.
And if there was no competition, then you couldn't advance.
You would have no incentive to actually progress and to provide better products for the customers.
So, that's where the Carnival stands from.
And that's where the Magic Land is just the whole of Bunny Bytes, basically.
So, golden tickets were physical cards that I've been distributing at NFTs.
For example, I gave one to CryptoApe, CryptoApe gave to more people.
It was a very fun, fun thing to just engage with the community and get them to know.
Because when you get to meet somebody face-to-face, it just changes the whole narrative about the project that you are building.
But we didn't only give physical cards in New York.
We also gave cards through our Discord.
Not physical cards, but digital cards.
And those together, the golden tickets raffled in our Discord with the ones I gave out in New York, comprise the 333 Genesis collection of Bunny Bytes.
And that's your all-in-one access to the Bunny Bytes ecosystem.
You get free mint.
You get pre-sale spot.
You get access to free raffles.
You get no taxes on the raffles.
I forgot to mention we have a 5% flat fee on each ticket bought on the raffle.
But with the golden ticket, it's basically all the benefits you can get within Bunny Bytes is the golden ticket.
We released the collection a week ago.
I believe right now, floor price is around 6 sol, which we believe to be very good considering how bad the market conditions are right now.
We've had a great start, but then Shitcoin season came, Sui came, and it just set us back for a couple of weeks.
But in the past week and a half, we didn't stop working, and we just managed to bounce back.
We're very proud of what we've managed to achieve in such a short time.
We've only been live a month and a half.
So definitely get the golden ticket.
The link is on our page.
It's only 6 sol now.
I promise you I'm going to grind that thing until it pops off.
Love it, man. Love it.
All right, thanks.
Let's come back to you in a little while.
Let's just skip to Dope Growers now and see what they're doing.
I've been speaking to these guys, it seems like forever.
I don't know when we first connected.
I had a call with P-Tone about maybe December, November last year.
And yeah, you guys are steadily building and growing.
So let's have an update where you are, what's going on.
Yeah, it's been quite some time since we've been building.
So just to give some context, we launched our Gen Zero collection around Jan 24th and we minted out.
This was to establish a proof of concept just to see if people accept or believe in what we are building.
So what we are trying to build is twofold.
One, like I said in the 60-second intro, is to decentralize access to cannabis or access to cannabis plant.
How are we doing that?
Very simple.
Our NFT holders will be fractional owners of a cannabis plant.
Now, a lot of them have questions like, how is this legally possible?
Do you have the right licenses?
Blah, blah, blah.
We have released updates related to these questions.
And I want to reiterate that everything that we are doing is 100% legal.
That is because DGS as an entity has applied for the complete license.
We already have the pre-license.
And to get those pre-licenses, it takes a lot of capital investments, which means they look for the land.
They look for the security measures in place and a level of grow operations already in place.
So we have that sorted.
Where we are at currently, we have almost 60 to 70% through with our grow operations.
I'll pin the tweet so that people can check the grow operations.
We have shared pictures.
We have shared step-by-step updates as to where we are at when it comes to the grow operations.
And recently, we also launched the dope shop with products like CBD oils and HHC vape, which people from UK and Europe can order.
We will soon, based on the demand, make it possible for the US holders to buy it as well.
So the holders get a 25% discount.
And anyone can buy using crypto USDC, thanks to Helio, but holders get an incentive of 25%.
And what we want to do is see the issue currently with cannabis projects is we are all working vertically.
Like we are isolated from each other.
If you have noticed the cannabis space, especially the NFT cannabis space, everyone is on their own.
Dope Grover Society wants to change that.
How do we plan to change that?
Very simple.
We have something called a partnership program open to every project that there is.
It could be Helio, Helions, Hive, Bunny.
Everyone can apply to the partnerships program.
What is the incentive or why should they even apply for this program?
All partners will get a 10% discount on the Tope Shop, which is extremely easy to use, by the way.
It's seamless to place the order.
Plus, the community or the DAO will get an affiliate code so that whenever someone clicks on their DAO affiliated link and makes a purchase, they get a 10% discount as well.
Now, the best part is the sales that we make through the shop, a percentage of the profits that we make from the shop will be dropped back to the NFT holders.
So there are two levels of revenue sharing that we are planning to do.
That is one from the sales of Dope Shop and, of course, the primary, that is the 30% rev share to Gen 1 holders from the Grow operations and 40% rev share to the Gen 0 holders from the Grow operations.
I want to reiterate that the yield will be sold to the medicinal cannabis market.
And like Adam said, our founder, Patern, has been very active in this space since 2019.
So, yeah, if you guys have any other questions, free to answer.
I think that just makes sense that it's, you know, it takes time to do things like this because it's all legal.
You know, you've got to go through all the legal hoops.
So we're definitely supporting you guys since the start.
And we can't wait to see where you go with the project, with the NFT.
When's the pre-sale starting?
Yeah, so we've already started the pre-sales for the holders.
That is who believe have been supporting us since a very long time.
But the escrow pre-sales for DAOs and other communities in partnership with you guys will start next week.
That's what we are aiming for.
Awesome.
Pre-sale price?
It is 60 USDC.
Fair.
Fair enough.
So it's pretty much 60 USDC to buy a plant that you can generate yield of around about $20 per month when it's in full harvest.
Am I right there?
It is, yeah, since it's 30 and 40% depending on the Gen 1 and Gen 0 NFTs, it comes up to a range of 21 to 40.
Again, we want to be conservative here because you know how it is in the NFT space.
Of course, it is.
If we stay X and if we don't reach X, then there will be massive FUD.
So we've been extremely conservative with the numbers.
Good stuff.
Make sure we get an allocation for Helions, right?
I'm definitely interested to get my hands on some as well.
So thanks a lot.
Thanks, guys.
While Cypher J is on here, I just want to touch on something that's coming with Helio.
We have a new product coming very soon that I think we've already briefly talked about on a previous basis.
NFT drops, or we call them Helio NFT.
Do you want to talk a little bit about it, Cypher?
We haven't 100% decided on the name yet, right?
So just give us a quick pitch.
It's so hot off the press we've not decided what we're going to call it.
But effectively, just think of a one-to-one NFT sale option through a pay link.
So you can upload an NFT.
You can then post that pay link to somebody you might be interested or to a board.
And then people can come along and buy that NFT directly from you.
So it goes into a little escrow account.
And then as soon as the payment's received, then you basically get the NFT transferred to your wallet.
And that's it.
So super simple, super elegant.
We've just been playing around with it in dev, just making sure it's all good, just checking the contracts are all good.
And then hopefully we'll have that out very, very soon.
So super excited about that.
Very exciting.
I'm excited to showcase that and get people using it.
And obviously you can use all the customizable features of a standard Helio pay link.
So you can make sure it doesn't get into the wrong hands by locking it to a Discord role or, you know, put in an access code on there, an actual password.
And, you know, display it all over your Twitter.
Build that hype.
Build the FOMO.
Let everybody know that your NFT is for sale.
DM me for the access code.
All right.
Next, let's go to Dimension.
Thanks for waiting.
Thanks for being patient.
Stage is yours.
Let's learn a little bit more about what you guys are doing.
All good, guys.
No worries.
It's always nice to listen in anyway and hear other projects and what everyone's doing.
I know I've seen most of these guys around the space for a while.
I'm good friends with one or two of them as well.
So it's always an enjoyable experience.
And again, thanks for having us up here.
It's a pleasure to obviously be here with a few other people that have been in the space for quite some time.
So just appreciation for that alone.
Now, I guess from there, we'll jump into the details of Dimension itself and really what we're doing and trying to achieve.
Now, as I said earlier, Dimension is really building out a brand around a culture of success, a culture of opportunity and a culture of creation.
And when we note that out, it goes into a fundamental understanding of how do you see a brand and how do you see the culture inside of, you could say, the Web3 space.
And the way I tend to look at it is very similar to a body of work.
And when I refer to a body of work, it's similar to a human entity, right, where you've got three core pieces to, you know, a great outcome or a great person per se.
You've got the visual, right?
They're well presented.
You've got the personality, right?
Their heart and soul, right?
That's the culture.
And then you look at the brain, right?
And that's where they got their value and substance.
And when we're looking at Dimension itself, it was very much fundamentally broken down into those three pieces where we went, okay, first things first.
When you first see the collection, when you first see the brand, it needs to be engaging.
It needs to be something that people resonate with, something that they go, you know what, there's high attention to detail in.
There's intent behind what they're doing.
Great.
Let's go have a look further, right?
And it's similar to when you walk into a bookshop is the best way I explain it.
When you walk into a bookshop, what is the first thing we do?
We tend to pick up the book that looks the best or resonates with us the most.
If it doesn't have that, we will never have a look.
And yes, does it mean it's got the best information?
It may.
It may not.
But the difference is you need to ensure that first impression comes across appropriately and it's something that causes people to be engaged.
When you go off of that, you then go into the culture.
And culture is really the heart and soul entirely built into the project.
It's what allows people to connect with it long term.
It's what allows people to actually engage with other people outside of the project that wants them to then come in and have a look to see what it's all about.
But for me and myself as a founder, I take it really upon myself to be sure that I'm as actively engaged in the community as possible.
The way I see it is we are people of this space, irrespective, right?
But above all else, you can be a founder, you can be whatever you are.
You are a person of the NFT space.
You're a person of the crypto space.
And that means why would you not want to be as actively involved in your own community as possible when you've got the ability to do so?
So something that I tend to do, which is probably a bit unique, is I do one-on-one calls with people inside of our community.
This is something that's allowed us to really grow in a unique way.
It's allowed me to bond with people, more importantly.
And again, what are we trying to do?
We're trying to build a culture.
We're trying to build a community.
And the best way to do that is by having open conversation with people, allowing people to connect with you personally, as well as allowing you to get to know them in itself.
That's the second piece, the culture, making sure we really build out a core unit that makes people feel like they can believe in something and really move towards the next stage.
Now, the final piece of the puzzle goes into the value.
And this is the substance behind it, right?
You can be pretty, you know, you can have a pretty face.
You can have a great personality, but is there any brains behind your operation?
And this is where, for us, it breaks down into a common understanding of why are people into this space?
They're here for three reasons.
We're here for connections.
We're here to gain money and put ourselves in a better position than when we entered.
And we're here for a purpose and status.
And when you look at those three points, you can quickly start re-engineering, well, what do you need inside of your group to really provide that value to the holders, to the people in the space?
And that's where we went into three core areas at its initial piece.
One, the Crypto Trading Center.
Crypto Trading Center is somewhere where we build people's skills in crypto trading.
It's also there to allow people to be very comfortable in the space.
While we all understand that most people lose in this space, not just from lack of information, but certainly from their emotions, having people there that are trained, skilled, verified traders that are incredibly adept at the space, 10 years experience between them both,
keeps putting people, again, in the position to succeed.
And that's what it's all about.
It's all about finding ways to put people in a better position than when they entered and keep putting them in the position of opportunity to keep moving forward over and over again.
Now, from there goes into our content creation zone.
The content creation zone is where we find different ways to teach people to build out their own personal brand.
We live and breathe in the tension economy right now, which means the more attention you can gain, the better you are at really presenting yourself in this digital landscape.
The more opportunities are going to come to you, the more connections you're going to have, the more ways you want to find the people that you actually want to connect with is going to be there.
So this is where we provide templates, reviews with people, and have a really engaging experience just in that itself.
And then you say the final piece of the puzzle overarchingly goes into Vortex Labs, and that's our product development sector.
This is what allows us to have that infinite flexibility, what allows us to keep finding different ways to approach the market, different ways to improve the market standard,
and just keep finding ways to put people, again, in a better position through using our platform, through using our products, and keep giving them the privileges that they came in to realistically gain.
So overarchingly, that's the way Dimensions built out and really what we've been doing here.
Awesome, man.
Sounds like you've got a lot going on, and you must have had a lot of phone calls, right?
Because I checked the Discord, and you've got over 8,000 members and over 3,000 active.
So that's a lot of phone calls one-on-one, right?
There's been a lot of conversation.
I mean, to be honest, half of my job, more so than anything, has been ensuring that my voice has kept in good condition up to now.
I probably have about five to seven tees a day just to keep the vocals in good positioning.
But, yeah, certainly I've done a lot of one-on-ones, well over – probably it's 250 or so now.
Space-wise, I've done 40 to 50 probably spaces, AMAs, plenty of those as well.
So it's been a very active and very vocal conversation.
Awesome, man.
And where are you based?
You're Aussie, yeah?
Yeah, so I'm living in Australia.
I am also European as well.
So I've got dual citizenship per se, so I can kind of leap and bound wherever I please.
But, yeah, so myself and the other founder are located in Australia, but the team is located, you could say, all over the globe, which I really enjoy having that diversity.
Yeah, nice.
I've seen you've got yourself and Frank are the founders and then about 12 other people on the team, which is, you know, another big team.
Definitely, you've got a good community.
And go check these guys out.
Dimension, if you want to share something at the top, make sure you do.
I think you might have already.
Yeah, just pin something to the top and then, you know, get more people to come and check you guys out.
And so holding the NFT is basically giving you access to the academy, right?
Sorry, I was just posting, pinning something to the top.
So having the NFT actually opens up, you could say, several bridges inside of it.
One, yes, it's going to have direct access to the academy.
It's going to obviously allow you to interact with ourselves very actively, allow you to be involved in review sessions, allow you to be inside of particular AMAs, get to see the after calls, all of the, you know, very useful information.
In terms of the platforms in itself, there'll always be certain privileges built in to there, whether it be discounts, whether it be time advances, anything that keeps allowing our community to certainly gain a key piece of privilege from certainly holding NFTs is really what will be integrated.
And that's what it's always about.
You have to always remember who is there to support you and who's always there to lift you in the times of these markets.
And, you know, at the end of the day, you look to do the same back to them.
Absolutely, man. Brilliant. And your pre-sale is still live, yeah? Still ongoing?
Yeah, we're fine. Well, we're at the really through the final stages now.
We've got a few groups that reach out and it's really just tying it up now.
But, yeah, we're about to go to Mint now and it's been a great experience to get to here.
It's been a long journey, no doubt, but it's been one of those really enjoyable and real honest growths over time, which has been brilliant.
Awesome, man. All the best for mint time, mint day, and all the best for the future.
And thanks for coming on.
Thanks, man.
I know it's late. I know it's late there now.
It's, for myself personally, it's about 2 a.m., but to be honest, I don't sleep like a normal human being.
So, I sleep whenever I can get an opportunity and I'm awake every other moment of the day, particularly to get on spaces like these.
Awesome, man. That's a real true founder there. I appreciate it.
Thanks, man. All right, that's Dimensions.
And waiting patiently. Thank you very much.
Hive NFT app. Let's hear about what's going on with you guys because I know you've been live on, like, the Play Store and the App Store, I think, since, like, the summer last year or something like that?
Yeah, since August.
Yeah, for a long time, yeah. So, thanks for having us. A pleasure meeting everyone, listening to all these different founders.
I really like what everyone's saying, especially how they got here and what they're currently building and what the future looks like for all of them.
It's interesting to hear how far along a lot of these people or individuals came from the beginning to where they are.
It's, like, it's, one, inspirational. It's, two, just shows that if you don't give up, you can be where you want to be, you know, especially in this space because it's moving so fast.
So, congrats to everyone there. Yeah, so, I've been in this space probably, I'm Robert, Mr. Shifu305 on Twitter. I'm one of the founders.
I've been in this space for almost two years and I kind of accidentally got into this space through one of my attorneys.
I've been in the data industry for probably about 20 years doing different affiliate, collecting information all over the internet and giving that information to companies that can use that to help benefit their company as well as learning their customers' habits online and so forth.
So, we were doing really well and one of my attorneys said, hey, you should look into, you know, arts or something to, you know, offset some, you know, taxes or whatever the case may be.
So, I started looking and I found OpenSea on accident and I started looking into it.
I created NFT just to do it and it seemed kind of fun and then I started into the Twitter space and then all of a sudden into Instagram.
But what happened was is I was getting brainwashed like by, you know, everyone starts as an ETH Maxie back then and I was just listening to other people talk about different chains.
And I just, there's so many people just talking down and bad about other blockchains.
So, I really didn't get a peace of mind on where I should be.
So, I said, listen, how can we better this space?
There's no trust.
It's like the same people, 95% of the individuals that are trading for the past year are the only ones that are still trading, right?
There's not a lot of new individuals in this space.
So, we went to the drawing board and said, what can we do to, one, help these projects and Web3 companies better understand the individual?
And then, two, is onboard more people in a cool way, not overbearing and not being brainwashed by influencers or other people trying to, you know, sway them in one-to-one blockchain.
So, we started reading studies on fidget spinners and apps that keep individuals on the app for a long period of time.
We kept hitting Tinder.
We kept hitting angry birds and fidgets with a finger.
And then, mice would swipe to get food.
So, these mice kept swiping and swiping.
Then, all of a sudden, they didn't care about the food.
It was just a swiping motion.
So, we said, okay, look, we're going to build a Tinder-like app that individuals can discover and learn about NFTs across different blockchains and marketplaces without even knowing what they're looking at, right?
Like, we don't give an option for somebody to select Polygon or Solana or ETH because we know and understand that humans always revert back to what they're comfortable with, right?
So, just like Tinder, Tinder doesn't allow me to select a dark-haired girl because they know one day I might see a blonde and I might swipe right, right?
And then match and then what can happen, right?
So, we took that same concept and we ran with it.
So, we launched in August.
And in August, we did over 50,000 downloads just on the Google Play Store because iOS is a pain in the butt.
We had 2.1 million views on YouTube and then realized that, okay, look, the whole go-to-concepting was great, but we didn't expect it to be that great.
So, we had to tone it down and go back to the drawing board and selected a few thousand individuals to actually test the app, give us feedback, what needs to be changed.
So, we kept building and building and did a lot of changes.
We're on phase three right now.
We connected to OpenSea, Magic Eden.
We're in talks with other blockchains and platforms as well to pull some other data.
We have Polygon, Solana, Ethereum, BNB, AVOX, and I believe a few others.
And so, it's really a two-sided sword, right?
The first sword is a cool concept in a cool place because a lot of people know what Tinder is or it's a cool place where it's not overbearing for somebody to come in and learn about NFTs.
Just like Tinder, a lot of people use Tinder.
They have six images.
They can click on the image to the right and see six images if they like it.
They'll go ahead and click the info button.
Underneath the info button in real time, we have the floor price.
We have the volume, what's listed, how many owners, and so forth.
And that's all in real time.
Every time that you click, it pulls the information in real time so you can stay up to date.
If you like it, you can click the info button, which then comes into a bio, and that bio is also pulled from different marketplaces.
Short bio, then that's the only time it tells you what blockchain you're actually looking at.
And then there's all the links there that's provided, again, by the company, which people then can click and then visit Twitter, Instagram, Discord, and also join.
And we track all that on how many clicks and so forth.
And then if they like it, they can right swipe.
And by right swiping, it's a cool feature we have.
It goes to their liked page.
And let's say like myself, Utes and D-Gods, and if you own other, you know, Foxy, whatever, if you own different NFTs from different blockchains, if you see them in the app, you can swipe right.
When you go to your liked page found in the profile section, you can then super like it, and it stays at the top of your liked page, which now a lot of users, we always get comments and emails on.
It says, you know, they don't go to OpenSea anymore.
They don't go to Magic Eden anymore to view the listings or the floor price.
They just pull open the app, and they go to their liked page, and all their favorites are saved at the top.
At a glance, they can see everything.
What that does is it causes individuals to keep going to find different NFT collections from different marketplaces and then actually join.
For instance, we get emails all the time that people are buying into Solana.
Like Ethereum people are actually buying Solana.
They never would have heard about it if they didn't know.
Second is the other side of the sword is we collect the data that individuals, when they swipe right, so we have individuals put their wallet in, their email address, and their Twitter accounts.
And what that does is every time somebody swipes right, we collect that data, and our algorithm can learn the user's habits and start pushing projects that, let's say, a group of us here.
We're swiping right on almost the same projects.
We know if they mint it, how much they mint it for, if they're more likely to mint, and we can start pushing cool projects that we think that they'll like to them.
Right?
And then for the projects, it's free for all users and projects, but for projects, we do offer how we monetize the app is we offer sponsor projects.
And these sponsor projects, depending on what tier they are, they can actually collect that data.
And imagine collecting the data on 5,000 to 1,000 to 5,000 swipes a month from individuals.
And you can contact those people and say, hey, this is so-and-so.
We saw that you swiped right in the Hive app.
We want to personally invite you to an AMA.
We have 100 spots.
What we're doing is we're creating trust, and we're creating brand awareness.
And it's cool that when somebody personalizes a message for that person, it makes them feel special.
So that's what we're doing as well.
And, yeah, our app, we're just continually built.
We just built and launched a loyalty store, a loyalty program, because a lot of individuals, you know, we wouldn't be where we're at today.
Any project here wouldn't be if it wasn't for their community because their community is always the voice.
And we said, okay, we want to do something for the community, so we built a loyalty program that if you're a user of the app and you follow us, like us, retweet, comment on any of our posts, you can earn points inside the app, which then you can go to our store and redeem for cool prizes.
Like we have Helios.
We have so many different projects that give us NFTs because then what we do is we put you on the back end as well.
So when people start tweeting about you and mentioning you and so forth, they can gain points too.
And that just helps us build, like go micro viral, and it also gives back to the community.
So we're doing a lot of things, especially with our algorithm and stuff, to help projects and the users.
So any project here, please DM me.
It is free.
There's no cost to be on the app or anything.
We'll put you on there.
It's just a one-time swipe right or swipe left with the person.
They won't see you again unless they swipe right.
But it is good to have most of you guys and all of you guys on the app as well to build that brand awareness and put more eyeballs on you.
We currently have 4,000 active users swiping.
And a lot of individuals are every day clicking on Discord, joining Discords, joining Twitter accounts and so forth.
So that's where we're currently at.
We have a myth coming up.
Instead of raising, we're self-funded since the beginning.
We want to be different.
We want it to build first and then ask for money.
We want to be not the ones that say, we're going to use your funds to build something we've already built.
We've been on, like I said, since August of last year.
And now it's time to raise money so we can continue that path and continue building something that's different.
We teamed up with Polygon recently, Helios recently, to help us with our pre-ment, our pre-sale.
I said earlier we have 5,555 or agnostic application that we're dropping 555 on Solana and 5,000 on Polygon, same day, same time.
So we're teaming up.
If you guys look at our Twitter, we've been teaming up with a lot of different projects.
We'd love to team up with you guys too.
We're giving discounts and 20% back to the community.
So if we do team up with you and people do buy from the pre-sale link, we are giving you, your community, or you, back 20% of all sales.
And you can use that to give back to your community or you can use that money to continue building for yourself.
And that's where we are at Tinder for NFTs and all things Web3.
Awesome, man.
Thank you, Robert.
That's awesome.
So multi-chain NFT drop.
When is the pre-sale going live?
I know you're escrowing funds as well with Helios, right?
So that's an extra layer of, you know, like you've not needed the money up to now.
So it's an extra layer of transparency, security.
Yeah, we did that.
And another reason why we did that too is because it was a great option just to let everyone know because everyone's still, you know, how this whole space is.
We want to let everyone know.
We're not a Web3 company.
We're a Web2 company that's in the Web3 space, right?
We're a U.S.-based company with offices.
We are a Web2 company helping people into the Web3 space as well.
Yeah, so we're waiting on one last thing.
We got accepted.
OpenSea has a page that they accepted a handful of people called Drop.
So we got accepted to there.
We're finishing up that.
And then we're waiting for Magic Eden.
We're close to tying the knot with Magic Eden to drop the Solana portion on Magic Eden.
So we're crossing our fingers on there.
So we're looking around June 8th to drop June 8th or June 9th.
And pre-sale will be a week prior.
Nice, man.
Nice.
So look out for the Hive NFT pre-sale.
Join the Discord if you want some more information.
I've seen your go-to-market plan.
It's interesting because you've highlighted that you'll be using YouTube, Facebook, TikTok,
you know, all these Web2 platforms, which, I mean, having your NFT project on the Hive NFT app
and then for Hive to be, you know, promoting over these platforms, it can only be good for the whole of Web3 and especially the projects that choose to put their project on CR app.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Yeah, that's a really good point because that is true.
So by putting eyeballs on us, it only puts eyeballs on you guys.
So we continue to do that.
Yeah, so that's a good point.
Thanks.
Awesome, man.
Thanks for coming on.
Bunny Bites, I know you've been waiting there for a while.
I don't think you touched on your pre-sale.
So I think that's you're smashing the pre-sale, right?
That's ongoing.
It's been going for a while.
Do you want to give some more details on that?
Certainly, certainly.
Thanks for bringing that up.
So we've had our first pre-sale phase about a week ago or like 10 days.
We've sold out 10% of the supply in the first pre-sale phase in a couple of days.
After that, market sentiment switched and we just decided to first bring out the platform,
keep building, focus on the community aspect.
And now we're ready to bring pre-sale phase two.
We haven't announced it yet in our Discord,
but we've received a lot of requests in the past couple of days from multiple projects,
just reaching out to our collab managers or to us about pre-sale spots.
So after receiving some demand in the past days,
we decided that the best option to just satisfy the demand of the future holders.
But we haven't announced it yet.
But yes, if you want a pre-sale, you can reach out to us.
We can figure something out and we'll allocate you from the supply of phase two.
Sounds good, man.
And CryptoApe, what's going on?
You keeping busy?
You know me.
Anything interesting we should know about?
Any new projects?
Just been multitasking here and there.
You know, listening to these projects, you know, a lot of interesting, you know, points and, you know,
some cool projects building over here.
For me, I'm looking at this market right now and just trying to figure out, like, what's going to happen over the next few weeks.
You know, as we know, like, this last couple of weeks has been taken over by, you know, pretty much shit coins.
And not much is minting right now.
We know Hoopaz is minting today.
That's going to be, I don't, I personally don't think they're going to do too well, just given not really many people are talking about it.
And there's been a little bit of FUD and their mint price is probably too expensive for this current market.
So that's going to, you know, kind of set the tone for, you know, mints that are happening over the next few weeks.
I think, you know, the big mint that's going to be happening is going to be the S&B mint and then, you know, Bodegos or, you know, Bodegos.
And, you know, there's a few mints that, you know, big mints that could help and create the momentum and get people, you know, talking about NFTs again.
But, yeah, right now it's a bit of an interesting situation.
So I'm watching for, you know, specific things that, you know, will catch on, like wildfire, like, you know, catch on, like, you know, and become a trend in the market.
And, you know, that's what I think is going to be important because everyone's pretty much distracted with, you know, shit coins right now.
Shit coin season.
Absolutely.
Are you minting hoopers yourself?
I think it starts in five minutes.
I've actually got the whitelist, so I'm thinking to do, you know, why not?
I got pre-sale for those, so I'm not going to be minting anything.
I'm just going to be watching what happens to my bags.
Nice, man.
Nice, nice.
And thanks for joining us, yeah?
Always, brother.
Always.
If you look at CryptoApesBio, actually, he's an advisor for HelioPay.
So he does a lot of work in the background.
He, you know, he brings a lot of projects on board to use Helio.
So I appreciate the work you do, man.
Thank you, brother.
No, I appreciate it.
And, I mean, these projects all here, you know, you guys are doing some good stuff, you know, keep building some really unique projects over here.
So keep crushing it.
And, yeah, no, HelioPay, man, I'm excited for all the things that you guys got coming on.
For me, the biggest thing is going to be the Web2 expansion.
That's going to be, you know, the area where I think the most opportunities are, you know, on off-ramp.
And, you know, just that payment layer is going to be huge.
Absolutely.
It's going to be a big year.
It's going to be a lot of releases coming up.
So, yeah, stay tuned.
See what's coming.
DopeGrowers, do you have any final words, what you want to say?
Oh, yeah.
I've been listening to a couple of projects here and pretty interesting stuff, especially with Hive and Dimensions.
Hive, I think I DM'd you from probably my account, that is Chernobyl.
I am a huge fan of utility and projects that aim to generate revenue.
And it already seems like you have a plan to generate revenue and dimensions.
I like what you're building because I'm a creator myself in real life.
So I'm active on Instagram and I've been active on YouTube.
So I see there is a gap in the Web3 space.
In the sense, I'm not saying there aren't enough creators, but there aren't enough creators who understand Web3.
Of course, there are people who read from the Internet and repost it or re-talk about it.
But essentially, they have not actively worked in Web3 and the content creation doesn't come from real experience.
So Hive NFT, a suggestion to your application, please allow human beings to authenticate their NFTs and upload their PFP so that, let's say, a dope grower wants to network with another dope grower and people can swipe around and find matches there.
Because you know what?
This human-based dating is turning into a mess.
So why not PFP-based dating?
So that's something you guys can think about.
But on closing thoughts, definitely looking to partner up with every project that is on the speaker stage today.
Because I think the only way to move forward in this space, because last time I saw Solana has gone down to 3,000 active wallets, which means the buyers are not coming in.
So we all have to collectively work towards, one, informing why Solana is a beast, because it is a fucking beast.
And how can we work collectively to bring the masses, the Web2 masses to Web3 through various utilities?
See, the only way to bring in more people is to build exciting stuff or to tie something Web2 to Web3.
So dope grower is something doing on, doing, doing something, working on the latter, where there is tying a Web2 utility to Web3.
But Hive, Bunny and Dimensions are working towards something exciting, something fun.
So I believe this is a perfect mixture of exciting stuff.
And I hope all of us can collectively work, partner together and build something nice together.
And on a closing note, we're going to give away to anyone in UK or Europe.
And you've been in this space throughout, actively throughout in space.
You can just hop onto our Discord and just tell one thing that you like.
And then we'll give you a 50% discount code on DopeShop.
So unfortunately, you'd have to do CBD oils or HHC vapes to be interested in that.
Apart from that, also giving away one free NFT, that is the Gen 1 NFT post mint and a few whitelist spots.
All you have to do is hop on, ask questions or hop onto our Discord and share a few suggestions or ask questions.
Thank you so much, Helio, for making this possible because I personally love the projects today.
Thank you so much.
Awesome, man.
Thank you, DopeGrowers.
You heard it go into their Discord, get your 50% off in the DopeShop, powered by Helio, of course.
Dimension, any backup to that?
Nice words there from DopeGrowers.
Do you want to say a final thing?
Yeah, always nice things to say.
Sorry, my other phone has ran out of battery mid-journey through this conversation.
But certainly, it's exactly what's being said.
I know so many great people in this space.
I've met so many through general interactions, founders, people just naturally in the space.
And it is all about how do we collaborate with each other in different ways?
How do we find real partnerships to really do great things together right beyond here's my collab and here's your whitelist?
It's what can we actually try to do together and really start to build forward?
So, anyone that's got that sort of mindset, my doors are always open to open conversation because there's a lot of great things for us all to do together.
And it would be a waste for such great minds not to interact in these future years to come.
So, just again, thanks for the time and appreciate everyone that's listened in and been a part of this.
A hundred percent, man.
Appreciate it.
Thanks for coming on.
Bunny Bites, still there.
Hive, do you want to pop up?
One last final talk?
Yeah, I just sent you something on Discord because I don't know how to pin, and I apologize.
When Bunny Bites was talking and somebody else was just talking, I couldn't hear them.
So, I apologize.
I'm sure you guys had something cool to say.
Look, all you guys, if you guys want to be on the app, just DM me because I think everyone here needs to be on the app to put more eyeballs on you guys.
And second is, if you guys want to do an NFT or give an NFT, if you're giving away free NFTs or whatever, I can put them in the loyalty store and attach you guys to it so it can build some buzz and people will start tweeting about you guys to build loyalty points inside the app.
So, it's just like a win-win for you guys as well.
So, hit me up in the DM.
I'd love to put you guys in there as well.
Sweet, man.
Thanks.
Thanks, man.
And appreciate you coming on.
Bunny Bites, you still there?
All good?
Of course.
Of course.
Of course.
Always here, man.
Always here, listening.
For the final closing remarks, I want to say thank you, everyone, for joining the space.
Thank you for taking the time to listen about this beautiful project.
There's a lot of friends that I have here on stage and the listeners, and I really appreciate all of you.
I know market conditions are rough.
I know it's tough.
But don't get discouraged just like we don't get discouraged.
Builders are here to stay, to build on Solana.
And better times will certainly come.
Until then, we'll just have to make the most out of it and just have fun.
And have some fun as well, right?
Exactly.
Speaking of fun.
We've got our own little raffle going on as well, Bunny Bites.
I know we've riffed on some ideas.
Looking forward to work with you more in the coming weeks.
So, yeah.
Helions, we've been doing our May giveaway.
So, basically, we're on what?
I don't even know what day it is now.
Day 11.
I think today I should announce the day 10 giveaway, which was two Helions for two different winners.
So, I'd like to get some feedback on, like, how the quiz went.
So, there was just three questions and you had to basically just answer the questions and then enter the raffle with the pay link.
The answers to the questions you could find in the April update, what our CEO, Stein, did.
So, using Helio Play.
I think that's working well.
But, as always, appreciate the support from the community.
And if you do have feedback, either you can jump up now or you can just let us know in the Discord.
But I'll be announcing the winners of yesterday's quiz straight after this AMA.
And then look out for another one.
We'll be dropping day 11 giveaway today.
And thank you, everyone, for joining.
It's been a good space.
It's great guests.
Thank you, all the guests coming on.
And look out for next week.
We'll be doing this every Thursday.
It's the Helio Spotlight where we showcase a few upcoming projects, interesting projects.
Thanks again, guys.
Have a good evening.
Have a good day.
