Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Hello everyone.
It's officially one o'clock, at least my time, and should be the start
of the AMA, but we'll wait for a few others to join and we'll probably start in about
say three to five minutes. Thank you. Thank you. Hi, for everyone joining Light, we'll be starting the AMA at 1.05 my time, so that's in about
three minutes. Thank you. Thank you. Hello everyone. I think we can get started here. It's already five minutes past the starting time.
So if there's any late stragglers, they'll just have to catch up. I think we can get started here. It's already five minutes past the starting time.
So if there's any late stragglers, they'll just have to catch up.
Hello, everyone.
This is the second of the bi-weekly AMA that we've started.
The purpose is to connect with you all, the community,
and just generally answer any questions you may have,
just get to know you all, and hopefully make some interesting connections.
There's been quite a few developments within the Metis team and the tech, I guess, and our plans for 2025. And there's also been quite a few interesting questions,
a few that I really like from the
community so we'll be going through all of those today to start off i think we can discuss basically
how our plans are chugging along in regards to the hyperion launch and of course we can touch
on las ai as well for hyperion we are completely and surprisingly on track for the
testnet launch. I say surprisingly, not because I don't have faith in my tech team. They are some
of the smartest tech teams that's and, you know, actually really good at communicating and planning.
One of the best I've seen in this industry. But just because I've almost never seen
testnet or mainnet launch on time, but somehow our team has been able to do it. So I would give them
a big round of applause, especially when it launches. I'll be buying them drinks if I can,
for sure. It's going to be fantastic. We're super excited for it.
And we have a ton of community campaigns lined up as well.
So for example, there's going to be,
what can I give you the alpha on?
So I think I mentioned last time that we'll have a new place for everybody to connect and have discussions and spread ideas and ask questions.
On that place, you'll be able to kind of participate in a lot of the engagement campaigns that we have planned.
that we have planned.
Some of it is going to revolve around the hackathon
that is coming up,
and some of it is just going to be some good-natured fun
where we kind of divide you into teams a little bit,
and you'll be able to take part in rewards
for the participation
and driving the engagement and discussion.
And of course, a lot of those features are actually going to be for a very valuable and
actually kind of an obvious purpose when you actually see it.
But at least until now, it hasn't really been tried in the blockchain space.
At the very least, not any real success that I've seen.
So I'm very excited to launch it. Our team's been working quite hard at it, and we are putting quite a bit of effort and
resources into making sure that this thing is successful, not just because we want to drive
engagement, but we also want to really provide a place where users can connect, not just with the Metis team, but also with each other in a more meaningful way than what we have until now.
So, for example, on Telegram, you know, you can come into the groups and chat, but it's not really an ongoing discussion. I did mention this last time, but we want a place where it feels more like a forum,
feels more like some place where you can actually discuss real ideas and have those conversations
persist and last so that you can get answers to your questions, you can iterate on your ideas,
gain new ideas, and learn something as well. All of that and more is going to come along
with the launch of the testnet.
And there's going to be a lot to look forward to
in the summer and I guess a bit into the fall as well
for Hyperion.
On the Lazy AI front, we're also on track, amazingly.
And we're very excited about the potential of both Aleth and the vision of LASAI as well.
So if some of you haven't been too up to date with the goings on of Metis,
we're heavily incubating this project called LASAI.
It's basically a significant chunk of our strategy in terms of how we're attacking the AI industry.
LASAI is solving the data alignment problem, and in doing so, it's creating a very composable,
open, trusted, and democratic environment where you can assetize AI assets.
So that's everything from data sets to models to agents to inferences.
And in doing so, we're providing a space where the alignment of the intent of the creation of the model and the actual output is aligned.
So it's an alignment between humans and AI
and also provide interoperable composable space
to do it in.
Now, Laz.ai is also launching their testnet in May.
That is going on very smoothly.
And there will be launch campaigns associated with Laz.ai as well,
especially because that's their first mainnet, right?
For Metis, we already have Andromeda up on mainnet.
But for Laz.ai, it's a new project.
So obviously, it's the first.
There's a lot to be expected from that as well,
and Metis is going to participate in some of it,
so look forward to that.
There will be some cool interactions between Metis and Laz.ai
in both of the launch campaigns,
so keep an eye on both of us.
There will be lots of ways for both the community
and the builders to take part in. And of course, we have a bit of a surprise coming in May that is
built by the Lazy AI team. Yeah, so the surprise is something that we've never talked about so
keep an eye on that that's actually something to be excited about I think
and that will add a great amount of value and a very
a great weapon for for both Hyperion and LAS AI
so that's the overall kind of broad strokes of how we're doing as Metis and Lazeai.
And then now I guess we can move on to the questions. So the questions are collected again
by the Voyage Campaign and there are actually some really fun questions as well. So I'll get started with basically actually kind of a good segue from,
from our previous topic.
It's future and strategy is the topic of these questions.
So the first question and the most obvious is what is your learning long-term
strategy? What is our learning? Sorry, I can't speak. What is our long-term strategy? What is our long-term strategy?
It's quite simple.
We are going to become the household name,
the one that you think of
when you think blockchain and AI.
How we're going to achieve it
and our strategy towards it
is a two-pronged approach.
One is to solve the problems that AI is facing.
And two, it's to provide for the needs of AI.
To provide for the needs basically means to provide a very high performance environment in terms of a blockchain network for AI to exist on.
So that's everything from high throughput, low latency that Hyperion is, the other toolings and features of Hyperion as well.
of Hyperion as well.
So things like the MetisDB, the Metis SDK, Oracle accessibility,
and all of the other features of Hyperion that really allows the freedom of AI
to build new architectures, new business models,
and just new ideas on blockchain.
Because right now, let's face it, AI on blockchain is quite limited.
There hasn't really been a fantastic use case
where you can actually say
that AI used blockchain to its full potential.
Right now, it's mostly just the results,
the inferences of the model
that is an action that's done on-chain. It's not the AI
that's actually making use of the on-chain data or any on-chain activity. So that is providing
for the needs of AI. And two, it's solving the problems. And that is done through, again,
LAS AI, because the data alignment problem is a significant problem in the AI industry that's
kind of being addressed, but it's not really at the forefront of the conversation at the moment.
To quickly put it into a summary, the data alignment problem is that the data, you know,
right now the paradigm of and the standard of AI is that there's a model and the model is trained on data and that gives you the inference or the results.
Right. So if you ask it a question or you wanted to do something, that's what it does.
The difficulty comes in actually getting the data cleaned and aligned properly with what you're looking for.
So the most obvious problem is right now, AI is also generating data, especially if you're
looking at things like social media usage or content or any of those type of things.
There's a lot of AI-generated content out there.
And once you start training AI on AI-generated content, you'll get what's called AI hallucination,
which is results that are born out of things that don't really exist, right?
And that's trained and based on AI-driven data.
And then there's, of course, AI biases as well, data biases,
where it might not have been fully intended,
but because of how the data is either collected or processed or cleaned or interpreted,
you're getting a bias that is understood by the model.
understood by the model.
So it's not that the data is inherently proposing a bias.
It's that when the model is consuming the data,
you're getting a bias.
So all of these things can result in an AI
basically not giving you the answers
or going in the direction that you want,
even if you provided good data.
And then the problem becomes,
well, how do you even get good data in the beginning?
And that is a whole problem in itself.
And then of course, again, the processing,
cleaning up and feeding of the data into the model,
that can become
quite a bit of a hassle as well. So LAS AI is solving all those things. And of course, again,
going back to what I said previously, the composability, interoperability, all these
things are very important. Privacy, scalability, those as well. And of course, in line with that,
LAS AI has developed an AI agent framework as well.
LAS AI will also be launching something very cool in May. That'll be another kind of feature
or something launched by LAS AI that's helping the AI industry. So yeah, that's a strategy for Metis overall.
When other chains are saying
they're going after the AI industry,
it's mostly based on,
how would you say it?
To put it in a nice way,
they're providing
an important piece
of what helps startups and that's monetary rewards, right?
Whether it's in grants or hackathons or whatever it may be, most of the time, the end goal is providing them money to try and attract them onto the platform.
end goal is providing them money to try and attract them onto the platform.
For us, we saw that there was a gap in the industry where AI couldn't really find a proper
home.
So we're building the best home that they could possibly have.
Excuse me.
So yeah, that is our, I would say, short, mid and long term strategy.
I would say short, mid and long term strategy.
If you're really looking to kind of long term strategy as in what the traditional industries would consider a long term strategy, then I would say that doesn't really apply that well into blockchain. The cycle in blockchain is so quick and the tech develops at an incredible pace.
So saying that this is our defined long term strategy is kind of it would look different than a lot of other industries.
Right. But if you had to go with a long term kind of what is really driving medicine, helping it succeed,
of what is really driving medicine, helping it succeed,
then we would have to say number one is adaptability
and number two is our ability to move quickly.
So Hyperion and LAS AI and our Regenesis, right?
So our 2025 strategy, all of that was very quickly done.
We're on time for Hyperion launch.
LAS AI is on time for its launch.
And we were able to have this really ambitious undertaking
when AI really kind of started to look like
it's going to make its mark on blockchain, right?
So understanding that there are gaps in the industry
where needs are not met, and for us to be able to really take advantage of that is important, and it is what will set us apart.
You might be scared that that also means that we will be changing our direction often, but that is also not really the case either.
So, you know, not really the case either.
It's changed.
The whole point of pivoting as a company is to make sure that what you have and your core competencies align with the opportunities in the market.
Right.
So if we are having to let go and abandon what we've built until now, so Andromeda and Hyperion and Laze AI, if we have to abandon that for our next pivot, then that doesn't make sense as a pivot.
That actually shouldn't be called a pivot. It should be called
basically starting a new company just with the same name, right?
So yeah, that is
our long-term strategy.
And then the next question, will the new Hyperion
cancel out or take attention away from Andromeda?
Fantastic question.
And it is an easy concern to have,
but it is also an easy answer.
And that is, no,
there will not be real competition between the two
and Hyperion will not steal away
any attention from Andromeda.
The reason is, let's say Mercedes, right? They launch two new cars, right? One is an electric
sedan that's super fancy. It is top of the luxury line. And then one, an electric sports car that
is top of the line. It's one of the fastest in terms of the German three.
Now, are they taking attention away from each other?
Not really, right?
It's elevating the Mercedes brand.
And in doing so, you're actually feeding attention into each other, right?
If they launch these two new vehicles, that's not taking attention away from, say, their vans or their existing gasoline sedans.
Unless you're competing directly for the same market, that's not stealing anything. In fact, you're bringing in extra attention because this new electric vehicle's top of the line, that is bringing more attention than it was previously.
That is adding say a thousand or 10,000 or a million eyes
to the Mercedes brand overall.
And that added million will also trickle
into the rest of the lineup as well, right?
That added million into the new cars,
that might not translate directly into a million new eyes on, say, the E-Class.
So they're regular sedans.
But, you know, it might be 500,000.
It might be 100,000.
At the end of the day, it's adding to eyes on the E-Class.
It's not taking away from the E-Class.
away from the E-Class. Again, the prerequisite for that is that they are not competing for the
exact same market. Hyperion and Andromeda are not competing for the same projects.
And in terms of community, it absolutely shares community because both Hyperion gains really good attention and really good traction in the market
and it becomes a household name for blockchain and AI, then it's Metis that is getting that name,
not Hyperion. It's Metis that's becoming that well-known, right? So then when new projects get onboarded,
then they will decide whether they want to build on Hyperion or Andromeda.
And when community joins, then they will be joining Metis,
not Hyperion or Andromeda.
Like when you join our Telegram chats,
you're not joining Hyperion or Andromeda.
And when you follow our Twitter accounts,
you're not following Hyperion or Andromeda.
You're following Metis.
And even if it was put into separate ones, good chance that you're joining both, right?
So that is a great question.
And yeah, that's the answer.
that's the answer. It's adding to both.
It's that, yeah, it's adding to both.
the next question, where do you see Metis in the midterm?
In the midterm, so depending on whether you're talking about midterm as in crypto midterm
or midterm as in traditional midterm. For crypto midterm, I would say
that's closer to the end of the year,
maybe a bit into next year, right?
Metis and Hyperion itself is really building out in terms of AI.
We're starting to see like real fantastic use cases come to light.
Laz.ai has launched and is really, you know, seeing some exciting and unique
use cases and different architectures and different methods of building a business and AI.
Yeah, sorry.
And that is, you know, incorporated into Metis as well.
So for Metis, it is Hyperion is the one that connects directly with LAS AI because the LAS chain is using Hyperion as the execution layer, right?
So as LAS AI really takes off, we're seeing a lot of that on Hyperion as the execution layer, right? So as Lazze AI really takes off,
we're seeing a lot of that on Hyperion as well.
And just housed on Hyperion itself,
we're really starting to see real use cases
that are leveraging the high performance nature of Hyperion.
So for example, things like high frequency trading,
where you're having several trades in one second that are reliant on the previous trade. So for example, you're buying, say, Metis, you bought 10 Metis in this one trade, and then 0.3 seconds later, you sell that Metis that you just bought, and then 0.3 seconds later, you might buy the same Metis again.
you might buy the same Metis again.
So things like that, super fast liquidations
that are very accurate in terms of pricing.
And hopefully some very new and unique use cases
of the high performance nature in terms of DeFi
is also coming to light.
And then of course, as Metis and as LAS AI,
we're really pushing for the development
of the infrastructure that is supporting all of it.
Both chains are...
Well, LAS AI is launching its mainnet
closer to the end of the year.
And of course, it'll be upgraded and built out into 2026.
And that would be the same for Hyperion as well.
Hyperion is going to see a lot of upgrades.
And of course, Andromeda, we can't forget Andromeda.
By the end of the year, Andromeda reaches stage one.
So we're very excited about that
because that really differentiates Andromeda
from the rest, right?
And it also really helps kind of differentiate the two chains in people's minds as well.
That is the midterm. And then the next question is a fun question in AI integrations.
So actually I'll do the other question first.
So can we have an explain like I'm five about Hyperion and his corrupted Alice, please?
So Hyperion, like I said, super fast chain, high throughput, low latency.
It's for high performance projects, AI, DeFi primarily, and of course, gaming.
But of course, if any other projects see a use for a very high performance chain,
we would love to have them on board.
That is our target, how we're targeting ai as metis and of course andromeda is
taking the rest it's taking the rest it's the go-to for regular blockchain projects it is the go-to say for social
FI. It is the go-to for a lot of DeFi.
It's just a standard place that anybody would think to build on. And then corrupted
Aleth. So this leads into the fun question.
The fun question was, why do you corrupt Aleth?
So to give a bit of background, Aleth is the AI agent framework built and launched by
Lazai.
It is the first and I think still the only AI agent framework that is natively built
natively built by native blockchain developers.
by native blockchain developers.
Its primary and topmost priority
is privacy, scalability, and interoperability.
And of course, with Alice, we gave Alice a character.
If you follow her to her telegram,
then you'll see that there's an Alice character,
a little, what
is it, profile picture that has her, and of course the banner has her as well, and in
our promotional, what is it, sorry, material, there's also the Alice character, and when
you're talking to agents, then of course that would be her as well.
then of course that would be her as well.
Now we also launched what's called Corrupted Aleth.
Basically, if you look at Laz.ai,
it's saying that it's solving the data alignment problem.
Corrupted Aleth is a representation of what happens
when you train an AI agent on bad data.
So basically it's not that we corrupted her,
it's that whoever developed the AI agent
trained her on bad data and is just, you know, provided the biggest case of misalignment
that you could expect. And she is silly. She provides a lot of incorrect answers to questions.
She just has a misconception about how the world runs.
Right.
So it's just a very easy and intuitive way
for people to understand what the data alignment problem is.
And it's just a fun way for everyone to connect
and engage with Alice, even if you're not a developer.
So yeah, the short answer, we did not corrupt her,
data corrupted her.
Okay, and then next question.
So this is a kind of a complex question
and I might be misinterpreting it,
but I'll try my best.
The question is the value and function of cryptocurrencies is based on human interaction, technological infrastructure, and economic factors.
Does this function in Hyperion?
the value of crypto, not blockchain, but crypto is in that because we are interacting with this infrastructure, right,
which is the network, which is the ecosystem and the different economic factors that play into what value is given to a crypto
is basically the important things that are in play.
And it's asking, is this going to be the same for Hyperion?
Well, the short answer is yes, this is mostly the same.
But for Hyperion, and especially LAS AI, we're envisioning a new form of value being captured through the
blockchain. This applies more directly to LAS AI, and we have a research paper coming up on it,
I believe. But currently, a lot of people, when they are valuing, or more technically, I guess, pricing cryptocurrencies.
It's a lot of it is looking at things like how many wallets, how many users, how many
transactions, what's the TVL, stuff like that, right?
But specifically for Lazai, the value capture can be measured in a different way because
the value that exists on chain is actually different
um so the data anchoring token right the dat which is a new token standard that las ai developed
and what that represents and that represents you know um ai assets uh that's anchored on chain. That is not, you can't really represent that by TVL, right?
The number of transactions also don't really play in the same way that it would on a traditional
chain.
So for Laz AI, it's actually coming up with a very kind of unique idea on what value is
captured through the
blockchain's cryptocurrency. For Hyperion, it is going to have a part where it's, you know,
following the traditional kind of formula. But also because now it's looking at um ai it's looking at the value of high performance activities
and transactions on chain then now you're looking at um a difference in terms of what the actual
blockchain is capable of and what it's actually targeting right so for example um if you're
working at a fund and you're looking to price or figure out the value that is
captured by two different networks, right? Then in terms of how much weight you put on things like
TVL and number of transactions and the weighting of each of those is going to change depending on
the nature of that blockchain. So if it's a blockchain that is targeting most,
if it's a network that's targeting mostly say memes,
then the number of transactions might be a bit more important
and the number of the TVL might be a bit more important
when you're trying to figure out its price or value.
And of course, how many memes have launched on there
and how many wallets actually hold these meme tokens.
That might be a bit more important in your calculations.
Now, when you're looking at, say, a network and chain
that's focusing mostly on NFTs,
then the calculations become a bit different.
So you might be looking at a lot of the same metrics,
but things like number of transactions
is not as important as a meme-focused chain, right?
Because NFTs are bought and sold at a much lower rate
than say how a meme-focused ecosystem might operate.
And of course, TVL might be a bit more important
depending on how the NFTs are valued on-chain
at any given time or how you might price the NFTs
when you're doing your calculations.
So for Hyperion, it's going to be similar
in that you can't compare Hyperion with, say,
Solana or Base in terms of K.
So they have X number of transactions and Hyperion has X number of transactions.
And Solana has XTVL and Hyperion has XTVL.
It's not going to be an apples to apple comparison.
So it would be, I would say, closer to mega ETH.
But also because we're focused on AI as well,
and we're focused on data,
and we have that LAS AI connection,
it is going to be a bit different
in how the value capture works
and of course all of that is captured on the metis token as well um hyperion doesn't have
its own token so um it's uh it's two chains that you need to consider
um and then uh i think we can move on to a new category.
Naming and identity.
So some light topics that we can discuss.
How did you come up with a name?
So Hyperion is actually, we were looking for names that kind of fit in with the theme of, you know, Andromeda and Metis.
So galaxies and Greek gods and goddesses and stuff like that, Greek mythology.
And Hyperion fit, not to be too nerdy, but Hyperion is the oldest super galaxy cluster, galaxy, sorry, super cluster that we know of.
So it is a massive super cluster of galaxies that existed way, way long ago, and it is the largest that we know of.
go and it is the largest that we know of but it's also the name of a greek titan so the titan
But it's also the name of a Greek Titan.
hyperion is known for extreme speed and its authority and rule over the cosmos so it's a
perfect fit both for uh hyperion and metis in terms of mythology and it's just a fantastic
name overall and plus you can shorten it to hype, which is awesome.
And I really like the book Hyperion Cantos or the series Hyperion Cantos, where it talks about AI as well.
So an AI tries to take over humanity and all these things.
So it's just too many things fit perfectly for us to give up the name Hyperion.
And then, of course, that is the name Hyperion and Andromeda.
Andromeda is that massive galaxy
that we know of and so on and so forth um and then uh sorry this question i don't understand
this question so we'll skip it it says what is uh this sorry that's a mistranslation um how will
hyperion's future be so hyperion's future is we are first targeting ai and we want ai to be built
out but we really will be pushing towards new and novel use cases of this uh high performance chain
gamefi obviously has a home especially for any real-time GameFi.
We're expecting the latency to be sub 0.1 second.
The actual, on the network,
it'll be, we're targeting,
I think it was like 5 milliseconds.
Sorry, 35, 35 milliseconds.
But of course you need to, the, the overall latency that you experience would be different
because you also need to send to the network and then receive from the network.
But within the network, it's 35 milliseconds.
So it is actually super fast and you can actually base a lot of regular game mechanics
on hyperion's network now because it's so fast right but that is really dependent on what type
of games we start seeing coming out into the blockchain space and how well hyperion performs in a really stressed kind of high load environment.
So we're really hoping that once it really kind of starts developing, we see a lot
a lot more usage of the high performance features of the network.
And then how is Andromeda different from other networks? What makes it better?
Super simple.
One really key and very obvious difference is our decentralized sequencer.
It makes us more decentralized.
It makes us, well, we have our commitment to decentralization and we really believe in
the idea of decentralization.
And that is also partly why we're in blockchain.
If we were going to launch a super centralized network that's super centralized,
governance is super centralized,
and everything else is super centralized,
then really at the end of the day,
you're launching a blockchain project
because it's easier to get funding in it,
or it's easier to access a specific market,
or any number of those things but really we
really value decentralization so we pushed for decentralized sequencers and we were the first
to market with it and of course we will be reaching stage one by the end of the year so
right now i don't think there's many layer twos that are stage one yet.
I think the last time I checked it was at like six or something.
Maybe a bit lower, but yeah, stage one sets us apart.
So stage one basically talks about how aligned you are with Ethereum network and things like fraud proofs, data availability.
That gets us to stage zero.
And then stage one is, you know, even closer.
And then we can be, for the average user, it's how, I guess, how safe can you feel about that chain without just trusting the developers, right?
That's a really kind of watered down version of how you can think about it.
And then, of course, Andromeda itself
has pretty good performance, has pretty low gas fees.
We're not the lowest or the fastest in the industry,
but we are definitely up there
in terms of performance on both those fronts.
But the real value, I think, comes from Metis overall, and that we really do care about
the ecosystem and the users.
And we provide a lot of resources and help to the projects that are starting out.
So, for example, through the CBP, you can gain access to some of the marketing resources
that we have.
We do feature our projects in the ecosystem on our main channels as well.
And of course, for the foundation, there's a lot of kind of interaction and co-promotion and help that goes on between the foundation companies.
So in general, it's just, yeah, it's really kind of a bit of a family feeling.
It does get difficult to scale with it, right?
So if we have, say, I don't know,
five, 10,000 projects on Metis,
how do we really actually take care of them all?
That is really a problem that we're looking at
and trying to figure out how we're going to fulfill, especially with the coming of Hyperion.
But right now, at the very least, we're very confident in providing for the needs of the ecosystem and the users.
So I would say that is the real differentiator for Metis.
And of course, when Hyperion comes online,
that's a completely different story.
We have this whole other added value proposition.
And then on to testnet and development in terms of topics.
The question is, how can I contribute more to this ecosystem?
That is really pay attention
to the Hyperion launch campaigns
because there's a lot of ways
that you'll be able to contribute.
Have discussions in the groups,
ask questions, say your thoughts,
even just your shower thoughts, right?
What you had for breakfast.
We love all kinds of
discussions in our groups so uh please don't be shy and um that is also the same answer for a
similar question how can i help metis so basically it's all mostly going to be focused around
engagement and then of course um the uh the launch campaigns.
And then can Hyperion be leveraged by other blockchains or developers to enjoy Hyperion AI integration benefits?
This is a bit of a tricky question
in that it really depends on how you're looking
to integrate or leverage Hyperion.
integrate or leverage Hyperion.
So if you're talking about AI agents
that are developed by Aleth,
Aleth is actually chain agnostic.
It's just a framework that you can build around.
And it also can be connected
to a whole bunch of different programming languages.
And the main purpose of it, it's the main purpose of it.
One of the main purpose of it is interoperability.
So if you're on a different chain and you decide to use Alice,
then by all means, we're excited that Alice is getting usage.
If you're talking about a different chain using Hyperion,
or sorry, a different, if you're talking about a project on a different chain using Hyperion, or sorry, a different,
if you're talking about a project on a different chain
that is using Hyperion as its, say,
runtime environment or execution layer
for a very specific AI application.
Now, that is possible,
especially with the Metis SDK.
It allows seamless interoperability
with a lot of different chains. So if you're one of those,
then yes, you can plug in. You can basically almost similar to how Hyperion is calling on
LAS AI in a way that's similar to calling on an Oracle. What you could do is on your chain,
say you're on Optimism and you built built a project but you built this ai agent
that requires a high performance environment to run then what you could do is you could have an
off-chain component similar to how you would call on a chain link oracle you could have an off-chain
component ping hyperion and the agent on there and get something executed and return the inference back to your
original chain. So yeah, absolutely. There's ways of leveraging the performance of Hyperion,
but it really depends on how you structure it, right? If you're thinking about direct
integration, then yeah, the path would be probably the Metis SDK and ways to interact there.
So that route, that path is also available as well.
And then I think one more question,
is the testnet open for the community to participate?
So yes, in fact, actually right now
we have the testnet live
as an internal private testnet that the devs are testing by themselves and then it will be open to
the public and all developers very soon so that's the end of april probably but we might do the actual campaigns and all that starting in early May,
just because things like the website
and the new community engagement place
that also needs to be developed and launched.
So yeah, it'll be open.
We're expecting a few projects from Andromeda
to also test out Hyperion as well.
And you can take part in those tests as well.
Or you can just get onto it, maybe send a transaction after getting a wallet.
However you want to interact with it, that'll be open as well.
So look forward to that coming up quite soon.
Look forward to that coming up quite soon.
Now, I think we ran through most of the top questions on Voyage.
If we had any questions from the members here, I'll take them now.
You can raise up your hand.
And if not, I'll take a quick look through our Metis general chat.
And after that,
any questions, comments?
Nope, we're good.
Everybody's always shy on these AMAs
where they have to reply by voice.
So I'm thinking maybe next time
I'll just do this in Telegram or Discord
because then they can send their questions by text, right?
And you don't have to be too shy.
All right. Then for the last 10 minutes, And you don't have to be too shy.
All right.
Then for the last 10 minutes, I'll quickly go over some thoughts I had and some internal developments that we have and just kind of what the internal field of Metis is like right
now and what we're working towards.
So with all of these developments coming up, and they are significant developments, a lot of our work is kind of coming to fruition in the coming months.
And we're very excited for it.
What that also means is this is kind of crunch time for a lot of us now.
And on top of that, being crunch time shows any improvements that could be made to the internal processes.
So for example, how the different teams communicate with each other, how tasks are handed off,
how dependencies are handled, and how delays are handled.
So all of these things are kind of the focus of the team right now.
But primarily, we're all really just,
everyone's thinking about the launch campaign
and how we can best add to it.
A lot of things are still, I would say,
mostly finalized,
but it's just because we keep coming up
with new good ideas.
Sometimes we fall into the trap
of trying to add all these ideas last minute just because
we had them, right? And we think they'd be great to be part of the launch campaign. So
that's a danger that we have. But of course, with project management, we're focusing on making sure that deadlines are followed. That we're trying to make sure that the workload is reasonable.
At the very least, if the workload is getting a bit much,
we can recruit other team members from other teams.
So, for example, the marketing team might be able to reach out
to the DevRel team or leadership to help come up with some of the content if need be, stuff like that.
A lot of us are very hopeful of the things to come.
And a lot of us are, again, just so busy and, you know, in this kind of last push towards launch that we really don't really have time to think about a lot of these other things.
I'm trying to connect with the community
and trying to be here as much
because if we start saying that because we're busy,
we don't have time to do these AMAs kind of things,
then that just becomes a never-ending trap
of you will never have time for AMAs.
So we're trying to make sure that we keep the engagement side up.
And with the new forum launching,
we'll make sure that more of the team are kind of making sure they're taking
part in the community and the development of the builders community as well.
So we're all just excited for that piece to come.
And then, of course, we are entering new geographic markets, and we have a few cool things coming up.
One of those markets is Korea, and most of the activities and initiatives, at least on the marketing side, is if it's centered around
Korea, it might not be too interesting for the rest of the markets.
But, you know, at the very least, some cool things might come out of it and some interesting
things.
So keep an eye out for that.
And of course, for events, you'll be the next confirmed one is in Dubai
we're co-hosting
a few spaces and our leaders
have
talks and keynotes
at some of the events
and then after that
it is Korea Blockchain Week
I believe
we might do an event in the middle
but I think because we're focusing so heavily
on the Hyperion launch campaigns,
we might pull back on things like the build hour
a little bit in the meantime.
And plus we're thinking of moving the format
of the build hour onto the new forum as well.
So some cool things to look out to, I guess.
And plus that opens up the build hour
to basically the whole market
instead of that local location, right?
So the trade-off is that
you don't get that face-to-face with the builders.
That's always really nice to have
just so that you can actually meet the people
that are building.
But also at the same time,
now you're opening it up to pretty much the world
and they can take part.
A bit of a trade-off there,
but for the large events,
we might have a bit of a rebrand to the Build Hour
to make it align a bit more with our strategy.
So some cool things to look forward to.
I think that's it for this AMA, this bi-weekly AMA.
We have, I think the next time I speak to you all,
we'll have some cool updates to discuss and some feedback and some pro tips for some of the things that are launching so
i'm very excited to talk to you next time everyone have a good day good morning good night
wherever you are and i look forward to talking to you next time bye Bye.
