Liquidium updates, and the Rune ecosystem.
And today's a pretty special one.
We've got some big announcements.
We're going to be sharing the CX in which Lick will be listed on next week.
And yeah, looking forward to this one.
Welcome, everybody, guys.
Welcome, welcome, welcome welcome what up gmgm it's jay from the liquidium account happy to be here happy to take off the spaces
i'm happy to get in people let's make sure to like retweet this space we will be sharing some alpha
and we will be covering a lot of stuff and i'm hyped to kick
this off let's go let's go let's go let's go what's up james what's up dog father how is things
guys gm gm i'm stoked the energy is in the air today and i'm excited to get this announcement
out and about man exciting exciting yes we've been we've been
hyping this up for quite some time so i think it's uh it's quite exciting that we can finally
make this announcement and yeah what a what a crazy crazy week just for crypto in general like
happy all-time hi everybody no one's talking about it but happy all-time high on bitcoin that is a
huge huge thing we underestimate you know that we're
literally experiencing history this cycle it's unbelievable yeah it's crazy to see isn't it like
everything we've been talking about for so long is finally coming to fruition and yeah a new
another new all-time high just uh let's just keep writing this history i'm i like this wave
contrary to like the uh the period we went through during a couple couple months a couple years ago i'll take this for sure i saw i saw a comment in the chat and um it says alpha question
mark so just to kind of answer regarding that guys today we're announcing you know the top 20 cx in
which um lick will be listed on next week so we're going to be having like a live countdown for
that super exciting for this one personally i think that in terms of bitcoin defy what i think
is going to be the game changer in the future is just making like runes in general super accessible
to everyone to buy so most people with bitcoin def right now, I feel like there's so many people
that want to bet on the ecosystem.
They're just not really familiar
with Bitcoin native wallets.
So I think that when we start to see
more runes get listed on these bigger CXs,
such as Kraken,
I think this is really, really exciting
for the whole ecosystem.
And this week we saw what happened
with Mim and some other big runes.
It's really exciting to see the space slowly, slowly get to the light that it deserves.
And yeah, it's really, really exciting.
So guys, just to kind of give you a basic rundown for the people that are new here, what is Liquidium?
Liquidium is the largest Bitcoin layer one lending protocol.
We support runes, ordinals, and PRC20s,
over $500 million in total loan volume
and 100,000 plus loans.
So yeah, welcome, welcome, everybody.
Yeah, man.
All-time high.
Bitcoin at all-time high.
Normies are starting to write myself again.
Jay, it's a good time to devil
into crypto i'm like why didn't you buy two years ago but that's like an ongoing discussion
yeah big week mim got listed pubs got listed and so on i think this is like yeah great to see that
that runes get the spotlight they deserve obviously the job is not done but man i'm i'm
hyped i'm hyped for the ecosystem so let's kick this off great energy here let's let's uh greet
barbs let's greet shudu welcome welcome guys welcome should i think barbs has been in here i've seen
i've seen her here twice so it's so exciting to actually see that
they're on the stage today so welcome welcome hey good to be here good morning i'm really excited
to hear what you know sex that um liquidy is going to get listed on i have had my fingers
first for the longest time so great to be here good to see so many familiar faces yeah i've seen
you here you know i think
it's three since we started rune roundtables you've been here so thank you so much for the
continuous support firstly and yeah this is this is something we're really looking forward to with
this cx announcement as you've seen you know the team's been hard at work um we have eslik coming
next month this is i know dog fathers goes crazy whenever we talk about slick but you know we
really do think that this is a a really big groundbreaking thing for the lick token you know
it's if you look at the technicals this is exactly kind of what we need and then yeah also regarding
the cx listing like so much is happening obviously this week was crazy we had like two kraken listings
that happened so it's just unbelievable to see
how bitcoin defy is finally getting in the the spotlight it deserves so super exciting
shad welcome welcome i see you're a speaker do you have do you have anything to say, my friend? Shut. Oh, no, no.
I am very, very bullish on the listing.
I think James added me here to fill the spots.
By the way, I'm analytics lead at Liquidium,
so I'm just vibing.
I was going to say, let's not skip over.
You are definitely one of the key players here, sir.
Don't just brush yourself
under the rug the the analytics expert here at liquidio
thank you sir um i'm here to make sure it goes to the moon so that's where i can go we love we
love that energy i think that's that's why we're all here. Just to kind of explain just to the newbies here
that aren't familiar with Rune Roundtables.
So guys, the reason that we're so excited
regarding not only this month,
but the CEX listing was something
that we put in the pipeline quite some time ago.
We really made sure the community
that joined the spaces were the first ones to, you know, find out regarding the listing.
So we made sure to not publish anything anywhere.
And we made the announcement that Lick will be listing on a top 20 CX on the first Rune Roundtables.
We host these every single week.
And regarding S-Lick, this is happening already next month.
We're literally halfway through August. So time is starting to really creep up on us. And this is happening already next month. We're literally halfway through August.
So time is starting to really creep up on us.
And this is so, so exciting.
You know, SLIC is going to be liquid staking for the token.
30% of all platform revenue will go to stakers via daily LIC buybacks, creating real yield.
And currently this is an audit.
We were aiming for August, but we've made the call to launch in September
to make sure everything is perfect.
So when this goes live,
Lick will directly connect your rewards
to the growth of Bitcoin DeFi.
Dogfather, straight to you, my friend.
GMGM, I'm not commenting anything about Lick or Ask Lick
or whether you should first Lick or Ask ass lick. I'm not doing any cheap jokes
You know other people can do that. I'm not I'm just in for the yield right? I'm in for the yield
I want to max stake my lick. So let's go
That's that's the energy that we need here max stake your lick you heard the man guys
Yeah Max Steak your lick you heard the man guys yeah yeah I heard it I mean dog fodder came up with that right as slick yeah for the people to know this to
touch on as again we talked about it a lot we are an audit mode we get the
preliminary audit on the 17th if everything goes according to plan we will present the um the whole um framework uh in hong
kong and then it's um yeah we're going to unleash that kind of product which i think again serves
the whole runes community um as people can build stuff on top of that and i want to see a lot of other projects building on top of that
getting their own liquid staking token out and yeah just um explore new things on bitcoin so
yeah that's what i'm really really bullish about sam how do you want to do this um yeah get get some exciting um about the listing right um so i give you the word again
so yeah guys just to kind of break it down to the listing so just to run everyone through what's
going to be happening so we're going to have a seven day period in which from today next week
exactly seven days from now lick will be listed on the exchange and how i want to see it is this
is a very optimistic
you know exciting thing for lick because obviously we're really hoping to list on some more um big
cx listings in the future so yeah guys really really exciting but in seven days from now
lick will be listed on bitmart so this is super super exciting we've got the countdown that will
be going live soon and yeah this is something that uh exciting. We've got the countdown that will be going live soon.
And yeah, this is something that I'm really excited for.
And just to kind of like I said earlier,
to touch on that,
the reason that I think this is such a big thing for Lick
is obviously the main thing with Bitcoin DeFi right now
is in my opinion, the accessibility
for people to actually buy it.
So when it comes down to Lick,
if we can be listing on more CEX exchanges
and we can really make it that it's so easy for people to buy,
they open up their coin market cap, they look at Bitcoin DeFi,
and they say, how can we bet on Bitcoin DeFi?
And if you look at the entire space,
as Liquidium's revenue increases with SLIC around the corner,
obviously the buybacks into the LIC is going to be game changers so that's something we're really really looking
forward to and yeah seven days from now you heard it ladies and gentlemen we will be listing on
bitmart so this is something we're really really excited for and it's the start of something bigger
so yeah great to be here everybody yeah man excited for this i mean
you you're you're the expert they came right um you already briefly touched about that but
like what what i can see is like kraten adopting it and so on right adopting these things and so
on like how do you like on a granular level like what like you already touched
it briefly right but on a granular level what do you think are more um yeah what is what is the
catch about like listings on centralized exchange and so on you touched about that people can
basically access stuff and so on but i think there is more to it um maybe you want to talk about this talk
about maybe talk about spreads liquidity and so on to get the people up to speed on why sex is still
matter obviously we want to bring everything on chain so we're working on that uh as the whole
liquidity liquidium ecosystem runs on chainchain. But what are your granular thoughts on that?
Because I think that's something we really need to touch on and talk about, right?
So, yeah, that's actually a very good question.
And the first thing to mention is that when you actually get listed on these CXs,
a lot of people don't really realize,
but the marketing that you get behind it is actually really huge.
Because obviously you have these exchanges that have like millions of users worldwide.
And now all these users that are using the D app will get notified when the actual listing happens.
So the first thing is obviously you're going to expect to have new holders for the token, more people to actually see the Lick token, which I would say is a big thing.
And then also,
you obviously get promoted via the social pages. So to actually just have BitMart themselves,
the official BitMart page that has literally over 1 million followers to actually post about the
token and give that form of marketing that we don't usually see. Yeah. And regarding liquidity
spread and so on, I think this is the reason why this really really
excites me is you know the exchanges are also starting to pay serious attention to runes in
general so kraken recently listed more rune assets and what we're starting to see is we're expecting
to see more of these you know cx's follow so what we ideally want to see is we want to see binance
and you know the really big tier one start to actually look more into Bitcoin DeFi in general.
So, yeah, the more liquidity that flows into the Bitcoin native ecosystem, you know, as the leading lending platform for these assets, Liquidium stands to benefit massively.
So for us, like we said, we don't believe in the space being, you know, PVP.
we don't believe in the space being you know pvp we're so so glad to see you know other projects
get listed on kraken to start to see the excitement in bitcoin defy in general and i think just in
terms of a starting point that's what we want to see is we want to actually just see the team you
know we want to see us from liquidium just getting these cx listings done you know engaging with the
community constantly working on updates.
And as Bitcoin DeFi grows, it's a no-brainer. With the 30% buybacks, it's really exciting to
see all of this unfold. Dogfather, straight to you. We got a question there.
Yeah, I would love to know how you came up with BitMart.
We all know they also list other runes like dog, so
it was kind of natural to list more.
So is it, I mean, we'd just love to know more about the decision to go there.
Of course, you cannot tell us the listing requirements or fees or whatnot, market making agreements.
But I would just like to know a bit more about why this particular exchange.
Yeah, I can briefly touch on that um so when we
decided about the listings even before launching lick we have been doing our due diligence and um
during yeah i would say beginning of the year they came up with a good proposal and that's why we
said yeah we want to explore this and then obviously we talked with
them etc went through the processes and so on and then we were just yeah waiting to basically get
listed and wait for for the right time and so on we choose bitmap because they support runes
obviously a lot of big exchanges they don't support runes yet so it's really hard to um to get
get them do stuff um so that's why we choose them um in general as cam said obviously we want to
have more more exposure more uh sexes too um but that's basically the general approach obviously
but that's basically the general approach obviously what i can tell from the processes
and so on and you always have to do your due diligence and make sure that the sexes
treat you in a good way instead of a bad way i don't know for example how it works for dog
i see that some people are complaining about gauge manipulating the market and so on i don't know for example how it works for dog i see that some people are complaining about gauge
manipulating the market and so on i don't know about that but obviously you want to make sure
to choose the right ones it was basically a natural decision and we finally were able to
talk about that and to to place it in a in a really, like to market it in a really good times
where all of the market is coming back again.
And obviously Asia is around the corner
where we want to present S-League.
So yeah, that's basically the reason why we chose that,
if that makes sense.
Also something to just touch on now,
what Jay is saying is in regards to the CXs,
what also helps is when the other exchanges see that you've been listed on other CXs recently,
it also helps with that listing process. And if you just look at BitMart in general,
obviously some people have mixed feelings on just CX listings in general. But personally,
with the whole space of Bitcoin DeFi and where it's heading,
I think this is a huge, huge win for Lick because BitMart obviously has users in over 180 countries.
So you can't ignore the stats. It's a top 20 CX. It offers strong order books, smooth experience,
and it's efficient. So in terms of just a CX in general, I used BitMart. I worked with projects
previously that listed on BitMart, and we only had a positive experience with them so far.
So on my side, I think that's something that that is, you know, I've seen it in front of my own eyes.
And then just in general, like BitMart attracts active traders.
And obviously everyone's going to be notified about the Lick listing.
So super, super exciting and yeah like jay said you know
like this is the that we're really starting to see the bitcoin d5 projects get more exposure now
so at the end goal is to get these tier ones to really start looking more into bitcoin define
runes and i think this is also something we as the foundation right need to push obviously the the the it's all about me
and yeah the idea we know that but I still feel like tokens and and projects or companies doing
extra revenue buying back and so on something which is missing in the room space and we want
to advocate for this um and with like the
listing right now and so on we hope that we open the doors or like the eyes for more people
more sexist to see what's possible and then obviously lift the the the tie for everyone
in the ecosystem because that's what we want um kind of talking about a natural network effect.
So we really also see that as a mission on our side to embrace it.
I know, and I'm really excited about this,
that all of the other communities are pushing too. And I think this is like a group effort for everyone to to to be loud and to be there and to really really um
yeah move the space forward and open those for a lot of more players and people and look all
look how that played off you know look how look at the effect it had you know this week kraken
listed two projects absolutely unbelievable so it's it's exciting to see the entire Bitcoin DeFi community
sort of come together and come to the conclusion
that we need these CXs to support us.
We actually need them to list us naturally.
And that's the thing.
We're starting to see some responses.
So that's very exciting.
And similar to just touch on what Jay said,
in terms of we all for memes,
memes assemble communities communities they assemble
cults in some cases but also when it comes down to utility that's something that people can't
really ignore on bitcoin defi and obviously where liquidium stands as of now i think that a lot of
the cx's will you know slowly start to see the opportunity and actually utility on bitcoin defi
too and that's something that yeah it's really exciting i think and it's really looking positive for the
entire space yes sir um yeah dog fallen yeah maybe for those that missed the last one or two weeks
Yeah, maybe for those that missed the last one or two weeks and were living under a rock, it's important to, you know, recap why this is the whole thing, right?
I mean, but this is important.
So many projects do have a token out there, but then the token is not benefiting much from these projects being profitable because it's not equity, right?
So if you own a token, it's not that you receive dividends
or have voting rights or stuff per se, but you have to add it.
And the way you guys are adding that is that you're seeing
everyone who's staking Liquidium, and then you receive this SLIC token
we were joking about at the beginning.
And those ASLIC holders, they receive additional Liquidium tokens.
So this token, this RUNE token as a staking reward.
And this is kind of like naturally increasing the demand for that token.
So the token price will naturally go up. If you want to check out my post,
it's very simple like infographic. So if you think about, you go to Magic Eden and look at the order
book, then you see some people crazy enough to sell your Liquidium token, so the Lick token.
And what the foundation is doing, the 30% of the revenues of all kind of like activities behind Liquidium and the Liquidium fine, the Liquidium WTF, so the asset-based lending and later the cross asset lending protocol, 30% of the revenue, so not the profits, but the revenues, are used to buy back the LIC token from the market and give it to the stakers.
So making the staking super attractive.
And of course, if you have more buyers, more buy tokens in front of millions of people,
more people are able to buy liquidyum tokens and then maybe also later become like long-term holders and stakers so also
being giving some price support i think it's always worth mentioning because some people just
haven't heard about the staking yet
yeah amazing amazing uh thread you uh posted there and like explanation to be fairly like those uh Excalibur uh or I don't know which
software you're using but Excalibur um drawings and also to touch on that right it's like um
there are many users and people out of the ecosystem complaining um obviously companies
make revenue revenue in Bitcoin and so on and um it's always the thesis like, okay, this Bitcoin is leaving the ecosystem, right?
First of all, obviously, yes, revenue is used for us to pay employees, right?
Because nobody works for free.
Makes sense.
But with that, we wanted to give back and replenish that Bitcoin we make
into the ecosystem, into the Ordnance, the runes ecosystem as a whole and into the
liquidium ecosystem and i think yeah how you displayed it and and and and and what's happening
then i think that's um something we will find out but i'm really bullish on that and just to give
um the yeah other people the possibility of staking their league um also touching on that i think
um we we like you are you x wise it looks really really nice um will be hosted by the foundation
side but i think this is something um yeah i'm most bullish about in terms of everything what's
happening in the space so just wanted to touch on that we are there to um yeah give back and uh let
the people uh yeah participate in the growth of liquidium in the growth of bitcoin defy and um
i mean we're always talking about bitcoin default growth of bitcoin d4 biariariari and i think
that's something what like we want that people can participate participate in that um the earliest Yadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyadiyad we focus on the alt and then we ship the product nothing else right so really really excited about
that another another thing to mention that's up to you also really exciting guys is i just saw this
now but we're actually very close to hitting 20 000 holders we have a 19 000 right right now 18
965 and the lick token is currently the 12th biggest rune so when you look at you
know the stats and if you look at the actual revenue just to kind of touch on what the dog
father said I think that's a very good point to mention and it's a perspective that you know a
lot of people don't really see but what we're starting to see in the space is obviously the
market in general is very saturated in crypto you, we have like millions of tokens as of now.
And with Liquidium, you know, it's an actual company with actual revenue, with real users.
There's a product that actually works and has a use case in Bitcoin DeFi.
And with S-Lick, what I think truly makes it so exciting is it's like you have a chance now to like stake your lick, you know, earn more tokens. And then depending on how the company's performance is,
more buybacks will happen. So I think that's super exciting because obviously people are
looking at Bitcoin DeFi and they obviously want to bet on the ecosystem. But if you think about it,
if you're betting on, on lick, for example, and the revenue of
the product goes up, naturally the Lick token will go up in price. Because obviously people,
the buybacks are happening from Liquidium themselves. So I think that's a very good
point that Dogfather spoke about. And I think that really breaks it down on why this is such
a big announcement for Liquidium and why are we so excited for next month yeah man and to touch on that um if we if we just look at why are we doing
this right it's like we want to reward people believing in us right first of all and second
of all um we are working on um yeah getting additional perks for eslick meaning for example um yeah we just need to figure it
out right and see look at different case studies but we were thinking of like maybe incentivizing
people or like people who have eslick and so on and they get benefits in voting and so on so
they're like different angles you can play with and uh obviously uh people people asked about that like will will
sd coders benefit from the um from the fee rebates and so on obviously yes um so yeah that's also
just something um i want to mention it's also like yeah we we reward the people and and for us
It's also like, yeah, we reward the people.
And for us, it's all like for me, for us, for me in general,
it's like also really important, like how to integrate that
into the current standing of our product.
And with the whole governance side of things,
which we are also as a friend now redesigning
as the Liquidium Cross-chain launch product is around the corner.
And we want to have like a bulletproof structure um for that i think that that adds just another layer of of excitement
um for this and um yeah i'm i'm beyond bullish so um yeah i'm i'm so happy to finally release it
to everyone and have fun with it um it has been long but we're
almost there uh dog father i see you have your your hand up there dog father
yes not yeah i think his microphone didn't work anyway guys also something to to mention briefly
in terms of uh the cx listing so exactly seven days from now the liquidium token will be listed
on bitbart all of the times and so on will be published and then we will be hosting a twitter
spaces exactly next week so we can obviously catch everybody up and actually be there for the day of the listing.
So I think that's something pretty exciting.
And yeah, like this is obviously,
this announcement was made.
We were the first to announce it
on the first Rune roundtables.
So we wanted to make sure that the community
was fully aware of that.
And yeah, we're really happy with the outcome so far
of just being able to get the community together, not only from you know lick but also from the other rune collections to just get
everyone in one place speak openly about bitcoin defy speak openly about the ecosystem and the
growth and yeah it's it's so exciting and every week i look forward to having these spaces you
know seeing the same people here it's it's really exciting so thank you firstly everyone for your
time and for coming.
And yeah, this is something that, guys, this is a huge, huge month in general.
If you think about it, we've got the CX listing.
Then next month, we have SLIC coming out, which is currently in audit.
We cannot be more bullish on LIC.
So super, super exciting for this.
And the Fyre platform is coming coming cross-chain loans and on the ordinary side um just to touch
on that to update everybody here is like APIs are being um being also audited and so on so we'll be
having APIs ready we're in talks with wallets to integrate first of all like a loan portfolio after that direct native lending
and borrowing some wallets and we are also working on a bnpl feature everybody who knows what bnpl
means that's cool for you i won't't tell you the full meaning behind that,
but you can gauge it.
And I think that's also something
we really want to get out there
and just serve as the liquidity layer
for the whole ecosystem.
And yeah, until now,
it has been a great, great, great journey.
Also with all of the people here,
which I see a lot of great peers here. Shout all of the people here which i see um a lot of
great peers here shout out to omni tio leo joe mo shudu dog and all of the others um it's been
