GM GM everyone happy to have you here
Hello Shamrock, how are you doing?
Yeah, hello. Hello. What's up doing pretty good. And how about you?
Pretty good myself
Like there is a lot of fun going on I believe everywhere especially for those people who are attending
Up to summit right now, and I'm so jealous about it. I wish to be there honestly
But yeah right now it's not really possible for me to leave the country, but maybe someday
Hey someday someday we will hope to see you there and I wish I was there too
But my partner Lewis is there
Aurelius, he's a listener. He'll come up to speak pretty soon
But I'm excited for an update to see how it's all going because when I see everything on Twitter
I get all the FOMO. So
Yeah, so so jealous so much former yeah a lot of merch a lot of people to meet
You know to find out who is behind those BFPs and all the you know all the ideas all this stuff
Yo, dude, what's up?
Well, yeah, we certainly are missing you here at the at the summit. He's the man that can give us the update
Give us even more FOMO
Yeah, unfortunately, I don't wanna I don't wanna talk too much about it. I
Don't want to make you feel any worse about not being here Shamrock, but just know we're all missing you and
Wish we had a gift Lord here
Hello Aptos girls, how are you guys doing?
I'm fine. Thank you. Well working as usual and nothing new. What about you?
Just happy to be here this morning the Sun is out all our friends are coming to the Twitter space
It's gonna be a good day
Yeah, it's it's it was great
First day of the ecosystem
So it was yesterday for Aptos and just having mo and every give talks about kind of the vision and the roadmap from what?
2024 looks like
Was was very exciting
Stimulated a lot of conversation and it's just it's just great to get a lot of the builders within Aptos in one place
And being intentional about you know, where where we're all going in 2024
Yeah, there really is something about getting a lot of people together who are working on
Similar things, you know, I think within the ecosystem. There's a lot of different roles a lot of different
goals going on but
We're all innovators and we're all build out Aptos, you know
so it is it is really encouraging to go to these things where you are able to meet people in person and just
just connect and
Also, it's nice to chat about all things Aptos and web3 are on people who already know what you're talking about because most people in
the normal world are
It's a little different right talking about
Talking about web3 and blockchain and all of these things
I'm a lot of people aren't very familiar with it or you know
Maybe they have a different perspective of what it is from the outside
So yeah, these these events are great opportunities to connect with like-minded people
We have some other people popping up here God Shiva and Petrikey. Hello. Good morning. How are you guys doing?
Hello. Hello. Nice to meet you all
And I love you
Like and say
Jim Petrikey, how was the pleasure?
I'm gonna go ahead and make my co-host and I can help you get some people out of the peer speakers
All right, sorry, let me figure out how to do that real quick
Go to say something. I need to hear your voice finally
It's been too long
Jim to those who good liquidated so not it sucks, but we have this pretty boy behind
Mercata accounts, so I don't give a fuck about shit
Hello everybody
Good thanks in busy doing like my pixel art thing, you know
Doing some final traits
Tell us something worship now, I'm truly interested about your cute little creatures
They truly fit a fair involved. So I might just buy them from me
The crib the cribbles are the other the prelude to the arrival of quark
Okay, do they have any story like for example, do they eat eggs or something, you know
They're just they're just a few few their creatures intergalactic creatures sent here to
To bring peace love and joy to any planet that the quarks on route to
Wonderful
The quark is is an intergalactic being that that monitors the universe for AI being created and
And then goes to to help usher in a new era
When when a planet creates AI so he's on his way here right now
So that's why we've got the cribbles because
They come first. Yeah, that's beautiful. I love it. I love your move robot
So I think this is just going to be, you know, I send it
Welcome to my autistic brain
That's all it's always great to see the next generation there from James. We also got
Relocated koalas here. We've got the anons
We've got Luke who looks like he may be having a little trouble joining his imagine. He's at the Aptos office
The waffle might not do the best with
A hundred people there. So I've invited him to speak. So yeah, hope you get to pop up
Yeah, so we got Luke coming
Chetan if you want to come up and join as well. We've got Craig here
We'll have a lot of speakers that will be juggling throughout the course of the space. But um
as we have the final few kind of
Speakers following in we'll go ahead and get started in a minute after we get them up
Who do we have behind the uh, the anons count there?
Oh no, maybe maybe they're running we'll see
Relocated koalas. So we got on the uh, the account there. Yeah gmgm man. I'm so happy to be here. Uh, good morning guys
Good morning. Good morning. Glad to have you here
Looking forward to hearing more about all the projects and what you guys are creating later on in space, too
absolutely
Cred how are we doing?
Gmgm from the Aptos summit office. What's up everybody?
Oh, you guys are at the summit too. Yeah
Oh, yeah, like which room are you in?
Unfortunately, i'm not there
Yeah, i'm i'm here from the mercado team along with our c2 oleg
But uh, the the waffles was spotty last night
So I thought about staying in the hotel make sure it has some some good waffle here
With all yeah, there is um, there's like few people right here. I think it's um,
The agenda starts at 10. So like you know, wi-fi signal is good so far
So let's get this shit out of the way before everybody comes to the office and fucks up the wi-fi
Sounds like a plan
Agreed and speaking of which I think we're about ready to go ahead and get started. Um
If you if there is anyone that you know in the Aptos community
Or outside the Aptos community that you want to get in on the action go ahead and share the space with them
Get them in here because we are going to have a little party over the next hour
Um, so yeah with that being said, thank you guys all for coming
I assume you guys are here because like us you were passionate about nfts and Aptos or if not
Maybe you're a little curious
So to kind of dive into things, um, my name is kai lani. Um, you guys have probably seen me around
The mercado accounts, um or on my own artistic accounts
um, but it is
Great to be with you. All. Um, Aurelius is
Also from the mercado team who will be helping out today. Um, if you are unfamiliar with mercado
We are an nft aggregator marketplace and launchpad and our goal is to provide the best tools possible for creators
And traders and collectors alike. So we are proud to be building on Aptos
Um and building with all you guys
We also have luke here from Aptos luke is unfortunately stuck as a listener right now
So we'll see if he can get better wi-fi to hop up and introduce himself later. Um, but he's representing the Aptos team
And we have a number of projects here that
Many of you guys are speakers if you are a project
Launching with us and we talked about you being a speaker and you aren't up here yet
Try to hop up if not, we will make sure we try to get you up later in the space
Um, and as we're talking feel free to jump in if you have anything to say
And we'll make sure that we give everyone
Time later in the space to do a full introduction of
Your project what you guys are working on because that's a huge reason why we're here today
God sheba. Do you have something to say before we um, keep going?
Yeah, I have a question for our others
Yeah, um, i'm wondering to ask you why you're working in the salona
Fifth piece so the projects were already arrived. So
I'm uh, i'm loyal till till till today. Uh, no, it's uh, it's probably due for a
Pfp change and i've been waiting for an opportunity. Um, like we're about to announce here in a couple minutes
Way to call them out. God sheba
Maybe we'll get that that pfp updated soon
All right, so
As you guys know the ability to verify digital ownership via the blockchain has revolutionized digital assets
You guys probably know this more than anyone and aptos has been such a great place to do that
As the home of move there are a number of benefits that we can dive into later if we want about security speed
low transaction fees, which we all love
Um, and on top of that aptos is well connected a well-funded blockchain with a budding nft ecosystem
with many of you guys here
and one of my personal favorite things about aptos is that
Almost anyone who enters the ecosystem
Um immediately notes about how great the community is and how welcoming everyone is
And I think that's kind of a huge testament to this space and where we could go
And that is why we are excited to host an upcoming event
That you've all been waiting for
drum roll, please
Unfortunately, I don't know how to make the little sound on here
There we go, there we go
Mercado mania
We love it we love it throw down those emojis
It is a party today because we are unveiling mercado mania. We are excited for
many of you guys to be involved on the creator side and
The whole aptos ecosystem to get involved on the collector side
So let's dive in what is mercado mania?
starting january 30th
We are hosting an extravaganza of mints to celebrate nfts and the culture on aptos
Some of these mints are going to be free. Others are going to be paid mints
But you can expect to see pfp collections additions series one-for-ones all launching during the event
Each have been hand selected and part in partnership with mercado and the afters team
And we're looking forward to all the activity and all the fun coming to aptos
We're going to bring most of the collection leaders up to introduce themselves
pretty soon
But we want to dive into a few other ways that we hope to make
These next couple weeks special so
I'm going to turn it over to you to talk about rewards
Yeah, this this is really a culmination of a lot of things kind of coming together
We are kind of getting back to our roots
We originally launched as a company or started as a company helping projects launch their
Collections on chain. So we're getting back to our roots and what was our our bread and butter
That really started bazantian originally and it's turned into indexer mercado
So we're really proud to step back into the space to really support developers
Some of you have already seen this from some great works
from shamrock and and others, um and petrikey
Winrug even threw in a little bit of a meme token pair on our no-code launchpad
We are continuing to innovate in that space
So there may be some alpha later on there improvements that are going to be going through the no-code launchpad
but as a way to
As an extra way to celebrate during this event in particular. We're going to be launching mercado rewards
For the month of mint mania or month plus here
We've got three tiers that we're looking at for this anyone who participates in 50 of the mercado
Many mints is going to be considered in this third tier and at the end of the event
We'll receive a free mercado holder tab key, which is good for life there
For all the collections that you can see on mercado getting that collection holder information
The tier above that we've got anyone who participates in 80 plus of mercado mania will receive a free holder
And mercado sniper tab key these mercado sniper tabs if you haven't already seen that it gives you a full
aggregated look at the
Aptos blockchain when it comes to nft's so you can easily snipe things straight from that view
It's a customizable view that can look at your the collections you want to look at
And that product will that that feature will be continued to be developed over time as well
And then tier one the top 50 nft collectors so the individual mentors or the collectors that meant the most
during this from the collections in
Mercado mania will have zero percent marketplace fees for the next two weeks
So a few days after then a mercado mania will post a list of wallets who have achieved kind of each tier
In the mercado discord and then each wallet will be airdropped to corresponding nft's which will give them access to each reward there
So this is something we wanted to
do as a way to kind of give back and incentivize people to you know,
really try to stay engaged during this mercado mania event because really
What this is is a celebration of the art that people have been putting out on chain
That people are going to be putting on chain and bringing in new collections and bringing in new
New builders in the space
To see what's kind of possible for actos nft's
We're also excited to let you guys know that we partnered up with town square who will also be offering rewards to mercado mania participants
There's going to be 25 cred per day for holding any mercado mania
So that's something that we're excited about as we're kind of partnering up with them on that
We're just excited about these rewards
But even more so looking forward to kind of the growth of collections and an artist putting out great art on actos
Yeah, i'm really looking forward to these rewards
Um cred, I think you were here you were a speaker and now you're stuck as a listener
Cred is the team. I believe behind town square and will be the ones also in partnership with our mercado rewards
I'm doing some airdrops to you guys for holding
Cred if you want to pop up here
And just share a little bit more about what you guys are doing. That'd be great
Absolutely. Thanks mercado, uh, orelias and the rest of the
folks on the panel for this amazing opportunity to
Participate in this such a big launch
Of you guys, we are very excited about mercado mania
And it was a great initiative
You know forwarded to us by look from the actors team. So kudos to look on that as well. You've been amazing
What we really want to do for just the entire
Aptos ecosystem in the first place is for everyone to have an opportunity to be rewarded for their on-chain activity
And this not only goes to you know defi trading but also nft collections and your gaming experience on the aptos blockchain
We started off in mid december in the last week of this
last week of 2023 with our mvp launch and
so far there have been
100 000 more than 100 000 registered wallet addresses on cred
so what these users
Get on cred is essentially
a full history
On-chain activities on the aptos blockchain
So we work with a node in front team on indexing
data from the aptos blockchain and
On cred once you register your wallet address
What you get to see is not only your full history of defi activities on thala
quantum liquid swap
Aries market
pancake swap, but also your your eligible nft holdings and so far we have integrated
aptos monkeys apto mingos
the other top tier aptos nfts
all right, um
Also coming up is our season one. So season one is where we are partnering with
mokado on the mokado mania campaign
so simply put
once you mint
your nft from the mokado mania
campaign on
daily mints or even if you just do one mint or if you do multiple mints
All of this on-chain minting history from your wallet addresses will be entered into our database and you get
25 points per day for holding each of these nfts from the mints
Um, so we discussed with the mokado team as to you know, how much reward we wanted to give to the user
initially, the idea was to
Give 25 points per mint 25 credit points per mint
But you know, we thought why don't we just give
More rewards to the community because if you are holding aptos monkey and you are on cred
You get 50 points per day holding per day and aptos monkey has been with the community since
aptos mainnet day one, right? So
Um, why don't we just extend this per day reward to all mokado mania?
um participants, right so
Currently the structure will be that uh after you mint
during the mokado mania campaign
An nft each nft will give you 25 credit points
and then the rewards will continue in perpetuity as long as you hold the
mokado mania nft in your wallet, right
And then if there is like further
For the sticking campaigns or like sticking features for the for these nfts you would get uh the reward as well
Right. So this is uh a continuation of our commitment to the aptos ecosystem
right, um, we want to um encourage more artists more creators and more nft users
to continue in the aptos ecosystem and um, so nft collection is a big part of
our on-chain
On-chain on-chain social layer, right? So we not only want to
incentivize, you know gaming on aptos
defy trading on aptos
But also nft holding, right? So once mokado mania, uh, mokado mania campaign is launched
And once our season one is officially launched
We will start indexing the contract addresses of the various nft
collections, uh from the mint
So once that is done, uh, you should be able to see
You should be able to see your daily rewards updated on a daily basis, uh on your credit dashboard
Right, and then you will also have a chance to see which other users in the ecosystem
Have joined the uh have joined the mints
So this is not only an incentive
uh active
incentive opportunity but also a social opportunity to see who else has joined you during the mokado mint as well
So it will get pretty interesting once we see the the ball rolling, right?
And um, and hopefully we get to see more creators joining the aptos ecosystem via mokado and more creators getting
rewarded for their effort
Well, thank you so much, um for sharing a little bit about the rewards that you guys are offering and just everything you have going on
We're really looking forward to not only
Um grabbing some cred but also the dashboard and everything that's coming with it
I think that will be really fun for the whole ecosystem
And we're really looking forward to partnering with you on mokado mania to kick things off
Let's see another goal we have for mokado mania is to expand the aptos ecosystem
And break down barriers for people to join nfts on aptos
um, we all love the aptos community and we are looking for other ways for people to
Join the community and I think once you get a taste of the great community the great art and everything that's going on on aptos
We expect people will want to stay so
Um, we are looking forward to having a number of free mints as well just to break that barrier
so if you have friends on salona or
ethereum or you know
Any other chain make sure you get them in let them know that there's going to be some great free opportunities
Um as well as some rewards that will come with those free opportunities, too
And with mokado's minting experience some people have said that it's so easy even your grandma can do it
so, um, our goal is yeah to just break down any friction get people in the ecosystem and
Get people collecting nfts and becoming part of the community
And I believe hold on we're trying to we're trying to get luke up here so that he can
He can introduce himself luke. You can now speak
There was an error, all right luke can still cannot speak
But luke luke, what kind of internet are y'all working with over there that that's uh at this building
dial up from nineties
I still can hear this
Yeah, shamrock, I think uh, I think we just told everybody how old we were
You know at least luke can hear us I see i'm throwing up the emojis so
You know if he if he's ever able to come up
We'll we'll get him to share from the apto side, but we're going to continue on
Um to highlight all of the great projects we have here
In the ecosystem, so what we're going to do is we are going to give everyone up here a few minutes to
Highlight your project. So kind of give us an overview of what you guys are bringing to aptos
um, and because there's a lot of you guys, um, and we have some people who are
Participating in mercantomania that aren't even on the twitter space today. So
Try to keep it to just a few minutes and then we will kind of dive into some questions
And just have a good conversation
Our first mint that is kicking off mercantomania is the anons
So the anons if I know you guys I don't think you were able to hear us earlier
If you are able to hear us and able to share a little bit about what you guys are bringing to aptos
We would love to hear it
All right
They may be rugged
We don't know I might shoot them a message and tell her around to see what's going on
But we're gonna go ahead and move on to
Ice blue go ahead and share a little bit about what you guys are
Bringing to aptos
Thank you. Thank you captain. So
All right, so nice to meet all you guys here. I'm blackboard from iplos
Um, can you guys hear me clear?
We can hear you loud and clear
Okay. Thank you. So thank you for having me here. So i'm blackboard from iplos. So
We're really happy to come to come to aptos and this way have been this way today
So i'm talking about our project. So it's actually it's come from an idea. So
I went back to the time in september this last year. So
Let's talk a little bit about our background. So
Our team is an indie studio. So
We do artwork in traditional business also like
A part of our business is working in web tree like we do some artwork
for project and
doing kind of design system to concept and also like
Sometimes they book they order us or the whole ndp collection from design
So we working around our studio working around two years
From the first day we come to web tree until now
So back to the september last year
Summer like you know, it's that time is very
is it a very
Like tired time in the year like in a very bad bear market
and a lot of lions of us like
you know that they don't they don't
order anymore and also like they
They just tell us about how
The how tired of them and um, it's really they share about
There are something to do but um, it's the in this market is it cannot work
We hear a lot of us talk this story
and one day so
I come up with this idea. So a lot a lot like
We want to read it
I see a lot of builders creator also like investor
Really tired in like around two years in this market
Um, we in the other a lot like hounding
It really abandoned things in the bear market and people hounding needs to have a very consistent things
really have to
To believe it to believe and a very strong
And really strong belief
also, like
Modern that's like talking about buildings
Building project in bad markets if I have to own project that buildings in a bad market like keep moving forward
Keep moving forward. It's not as easy thing to do and just yeah, so
So yeah, so back about I flew so I come up with an idea that I just want to
Create a place to be able to take a rest to recover to
Bully just to chew and hand out. It's not like, you know, professional networking or something
No, it's just a place to be able to
Still chill in uh relaxed, uh in in very tired bear markets
So that's why I create I flew so you could say that I come up when I picture so
What is the character that is suitable? So I
First of all, it's you the animal, right? So and so that's why I shoot so so that's why I shoot a deer
The deer is one of the animal that
Survive and could endure in the bear market. Also, they have the
Have their mission to give the resins from Chris in in no hands to every every once
Any good choice in the market, right?
That's why we shoot a deer concept. That's um, okay, so
Talking about the name I flew so the eyes we
We mean about the bear market the corners the
uh and blues we want to mean about the
peaceful the relaxed the relaxed and chills
um also like in deep dive that
We if you know that ice is land of diamonds in yeah, so
we mean that when we
keep um, um
How's it when we keep with uh, when we
keep building literally and
We want to raise a place so
So for the beauty for the creator for the investor come here and relax and continue the journey to looking for their diamond
To continue to share their dream. So yeah, so that's um
the overall idea about eye blue
Yeah, so this should we are artists pseudo we don't we are pseudo we don't want to
Over promise we don't I could tell you we don't have any product. We will focus mainly focus on artwork and
um, yeah, so
Yeah, so we will do um right now I talking with um some partner on after us and really happy to be here
uh, we we we will talking um
I think that we will fully stream in not final ideas, but uh, that's the our initial plan
And also once again, thank you look and legend
Uh the legend that uh invite me here today. So thank you and also like mekato
You guys truly legend. Thank you on you guys
Yeah, well, thank you ice blue for sharing a little bit about your project
Um, it is easy to have burnout in this place
So yeah, I think a place for rest and a place to just connect and have fun with other people is important
We are looking forward to those deer coming to the ecosystem soon
We have a message from luke since he is stuck as a listener. Um, but aptos will be
Helping to subsidize some of the fees on the free mince including gas fees
um, and so that is just one way that the aptos team is hoping to um
break down barriers for people to enter the ecosystem who um
Might be interested in exploring aptos, but haven't yet
Also, just a way to celebrate during mercado mania because that's our goal
To celebrate create cool projects create cool art. Um
We're gonna go ahead and get started with another
project, um, just a reminder to keep your summary if you can
To just a few minutes just because we have a lot of people we want to make sure everyone gets a highlight
Um next I see on my speaker list is shamrock. So
Take it away. I'm excited to hear what what you're bringing to mercado mania
Hello everyone again
uh, well, first of all, I wish to shout out to mercado team and maybe
All people who joined aptos, you know, not as early as uh, some of the audience. I wish to highlight them because like
Uh a long time ago they were named as bicentum or bicentum something like this
It was hard to pronounce
But yeah, they're very very og the mercado didn't just you know, uh appeared from nowhere
So this team is very og then they rebranded to indexer and provided some really really great tools
For uh aptos eco and right now
Yeah, they bake to the roots to help all the creators and to unborn people
So yeah, huge shout out to the i'm super bullish on the team and yeah
I'm very happy to be a part of the kamen events
Uh a few words about myself like uh
People who already know me as a friendly leprechaun of aptos eco of lab tree
As a gift lord, I believe like all the og
Nft projects, uh have uh at least one gift created by me
For like for any purpose like marketing purpose or just for fun. So, um, my main goal, uh in this ecosystem
Make, you know things fun attractive and to share
Luck as a leprechaun to anyone in this eco
Uh, and like I know that the tech is important
I know like all the defy and stuff
But I still believe that the art is the face of the ecosystem the face of the blockchain
So i'm super bullish on all the artists and yeah all the people who will participate
You know as a mentors or as a contributors, whatever it will be really cool
Uh, what I gonna bring to the table is uh, you know, a long-awaited
One-on-one collection based on the partnership with the bra bears
Um, why actually bra bears?
you know, um
It was actually pre-mainnet
when I was hunting for bra list
and uh one of the idea were like, you know, not to be
Like an obvious I I I just opened my microsoft paint, you know and
Started to remember how to actually create pixel art
And I created some arts
And people from the team were really impressed and I was like, okay
I think I gonna continue
And yeah, I started to improve my skills
Yeah, here we go. Uh
Well, uh, like right now this collection will be pure one-on-ones
Uh, like I don't use any you know
any AI stuff, uh
I don't judge anyone. I just I don't use any generative, you know, I great
I draw every single pixel to look perfect on this
22 x 22 pixel
Background so yeah, it will be pure one-on-ones. I'm not still sure what will be the final number of the collection right now
one-on-ones
It will be a paid mint because like, you know, this art is exceptional. Trust me like
If you can like see right right now my pfp like every single pixel there created, you know with my hands
and with my mouth
Yeah, uh, i'm very very curious to
For you to see this collection. I will share through, you know
through the
Mercatomania
something big
Uh, you probably may find some
Already on my twitter page

If you have any question you feel free to ask but yeah, i'm super bullish on this event super bullish on that
Eco, so yeah, let's go
Well, we are happy to have you participate um shamrock we are looking forward to this high quality pixel art

And they're incubated by kairos ventures, which is a top top bcc
Um in southeast asia based out of vietnam

Um, we have a few more projects coming on as well
Um, it's really exciting to see cred on I was hearing about the sharing
It's really awesome that you know, micardo partnering with cred to get cred points, you know
For holding these nfts and minting the nft. So super super fun stuff
We actually have a lot more plan, um in terms of collaborations, uh, we are talking to amnes
Um, that should get announced soon
But basically, you know if you mint the nfts you you can stick those nfts
And you'll be eligible for amnes air drop rewards. So that is gonna be really really fun, um for you guys
So, you know, especially for the free mint, you know, you're just gonna get so like just free ROI on those nfts
It's gonna be great
And um, yeah, we we are also working something on uh with quantum as well
You know, they have a new
upcoming, um
Like l2 using move so it's gonna be amazing to see what synergies we can do there as well
We probably will kind of uh, you know do some
Incentive um scheme with them. So yeah, just kind of like, you know, feel free to mint those nfts and
You know wait for the good news. I think a lot is coming
Um, there's a lot more projects that aren't here yet because they haven't officially
Um created their twitter account or fully docked yet, but they'll be coming on
Some of them have sold out collections on injective say and other networks as well and
They are truly hyped to be delivering the top quality art on abdos and some of them
Are gonna be doing some interesting token standards using the abdos token v2
Um, it's going to be really amazing to see all the different use case with nesting. Um, and and all of that as well
Um, especially composable nfts
Um, so yeah, I mean one last thing I wanted to mention as well is that
The abdos foundation will be subsidizing gas fees for
Um, the free means of mecardomania
So that is going to be extremely exciting as well
So users from all over, you know
The you know wet tree can just kind of download a petrol wallet hop on to mecardo and participate in the minting process
So everyone and anyone can meet the nfts. We're gonna see an influx of
New users from all other ecosystems with lineup like, um ethereum kol so line on kol as well
So we're gonna be spreading the word quite a bit
You know to all the different ecosystems we're gonna get them on and then we also kind of have so much
synergies with the d5 set of things
So, um, you know abdos, I think the two greatest strikes right now is d5 nft
So really nice to kind of marry the two together and you know, just have lots of fun
But yeah abdos foundation is supporting mecardo heavily during mecardomania
Um, a ton of stuff will be happening
So just keep your eyes peeled on these two accounts
Both the abdos account and mecardo account because a ton of awesome announcements will be coming soon as well. So yeah
Yeah, we have been very appreciative of luke and the whole afters team they have been great to work with
Bring mercado mania to life
So thank you so much for just all the work that you guys have put into this luke. We're really looking forward to
um now seeing all the hard work pay off and everything kick off and
Also, as luke said there's there's a lot going on for mercado mania, right?
Like there's all kinds of different awards
Projects dropping things coming out. So, um, it's probably a good idea to turn your notifications on for mercado and the abdos
Twitter accounts and just so you don't miss anything. Um, and you can get in on all the action
So with that being said let's go ahead and keep rolling with our prod projects. Um patricky is next on
Um from what I see on my account. So patricky, would you like to highlight?
Um for a few minutes what you are bringing to aptos during mercado mania
Hello, hello, can you hear me because I can hear you a little bit like this
I'm, not sure if it's my internet or you are again
We can hear you
Okay, amazing
Uh, so hello everyone. I'm patricky many of you know me and who don't know me then?
You're you're bad. Uh
I'm not going to speak for
I'm not going to speak 10 minutes about how i'm going to how what i'm going to release on mercado
And stuff it's it's going to be really easy really really easy really quick if you know faron, you know, celestials and selections
And i've decided to create just uh, just a little bit of a vegan mint on mercado
So, you know, I I don't want to put so much time into creating new collection because I got also already so much things on my back
So we are going to have a vegan mint of like
Whatever zero or one percent royalties and it's going to be celestial feed pics
Let's go. I think everyone everyone wanted this for
Let's go celestial
So yeah, that's it. That's it. I hope you will love it and uh, it's going to be free mint
Nothing, you don't have to pay for anything and probably even real world. It's just just feed pics, you know
You just you just can own
Tricky there's there's so many deejans that have been secretly waiting for this. Um
There all was a sigh of relief silently amongst themselves who have been searching for this type of content
So i'm glad to see that you are spearheading this effort for that best ecosystem
Thank you. Thank you. Really is I think it's really important because as you've seen we have up to girls coming up
And I think uh, like people are loving it and it's just ai so I think feed pics is just the way, you know
Well, I know we can we'll be able to say we'll have a range from
Projects that are launching with incredible utility that are leveraging tech on aptos that is unseen on other chains
To feet pick so we've got some range when it comes from a crowd of media here
Exactly. Thank you for uh, giving me a word and let's let's go with another beautiful project or human being
Thank you patricky
all right next on
My list is the anons. I know you guys message just about having mic issues. Um, how are we doing?
All right
Um, my assumption is there are still mic issues
We will message you guys to see if we can work that out
But they are bringing some pretty cool art and utility. This is a make you won't want to miss
launching on january 30th
Um more details to come
All right
Shift down
I maybe i'm maybe i'm saying your name wrong. I'm so sorry
It's just shift out. It's actually it's short for singularity shift
So most of you probably know me i'm james. Um
aka crypto autistic on twitter
I'm a bit of a one-man show
Um by doing it
I've been knocking around on aptos for uh,
Quite a few months with my small movebot collection just uh building up a small community
um, you know riding out the bear market etc
Building ai tools and experimenting with different ai tools particularly in discord
Um how to use them how to leverage ai to
To make your life easier. Um how to use it in fun amusing ways
Um, the possibilities are pretty endless. So that's basically what we do
or what I do
But the time's come now to grow the community, um, so i've created the cribbles
That's not ai there are my artwork as are the movebots
And they're
two purposes to serve to to grow the community and to raise some money to
Put into liquidity for the token i'm planning which is called quok
At least 75 of the mint funds from cribbles will go into liquidity
Um, so you can have a good launch on that
One thing i'm planning on building for my holders. Um
Is as some of you may or may have already spoken to some of my ais that i've made over the months from various iterations of
Given the tools that are now available for me to use I will be
making a discord ai system
And that you can as a holder can have your can
Set up your own personal version that you can have a conversation in dm with and it will be
specific to what
prompted specifically to your needs and that will be an automated process and it will have persistent memory as well
And there'll also be a more generalized community version for
You know community use
And that's just one thing and um, i'll be giving
putting a
I'll either be creating a separate art bot or i'll be giving the
The main ai is the ability to create art and and look at pictures. Um
It says all these different models now from openai that I can use to do some incredible things really
And uh working on a concept for as well, which could be quite a good
Um money, you know revenues source, um would be discord as a service
so basically from setup from a blank server to
a functioning service setup, but
created for you by an ai
according to specification
And that's something, you know could build out modules on moderation etc on top of that
um, this is all just uh
And and and that the idea of having the token quark is to to further solidify the community give them something to push push for
And i'll be able to reward the community
By giving 2 of trade volume back to them if they're providing liquidity
Um, i'll be doing hopefully utilizing um bat swap and their their token service with their proprietary tokenomics
Um, and i'm sure lots of other use cases i'll come up with for the token as well. Um, and you know
so if we take payment in it then
50 of it can be burned to
create deflation
all sorts and
And obviously after launch of quibbles i'd be looking possibly to expand expand the team
And take on some people onto the team. So
Um, that that's about me, I think
Yeah, and
Yeah, that's about me. I'm happy to answer any questions
Well, thank you for sharing a bit about what you guys are creating I loved hearing about the tools as well
Um, it is really cool that when we talk to all of you guys meeting projects, there is so much innovation going on
uh, and that combination of ai with
Other tools is something we're definitely looking forward to so thanks for sharing a bit about what you guys are working on
i'll feature
Looking forward to um looking forward to being part of uh nakata mania
Thank you. Thank you. It is an exciting time
All right aptos girls
You guys are up. We have been talking for a while and are looking forward to everything that you guys are bringing to
To aptos though. Feel free to share
Hey guys again. My name is andrew i'm from ukraine
And i'm really excited to have the opportunity to briefly talk about aptos girls care
Uh a few weeks ago. I decided to see what collections are on trend right now on aptos ecosystem
I serve aptos monkeys apto mingos brubbers and I realized there are no women's collections here
So without wasting any time I started to create this project
And since this collection is a part of mercato mania, I decided to make it free for everyone
This way everyone can be a part of this project
And lastly I want to add mint is a just the beginning of our journey and I would be very happy for you to join us
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you and we are looking forward to
Um, yeah the fact it's a freemint as well
Allowing a lot of people to get in on the action and the community. So thank you for sharing
Thank you
All right up next we have relocated koalas are you guys ready to share?
A bit about what you guys are bringing to aptos
All right. Good morning, everyone. I first of all want to thank luke. Look is the goat. He's a
Tech visionary. He was the one that aborted me to aptos and uh, show me the magic of this community
Uh, I want to thank anyone that supported uh my open edition for 24 hours with it
Which which it was monkey business. That was my first experience with aptos and it was immaculate
It was something beautiful and I fell in love. Uh, I fell in love with the community and the tech
So, uh relocated koalas relocated koalas is a web3 studio to empower creators and artists
So what does that look like?
The the relocated koalas is is the key to the ecosystem the first, uh
Artist that uh, we are empowering
It's uh, my cousin andres galaviz
Who has been a full-time?
Artist, unfortunately stuck into the in in the advertising agency, uh circle for over 20 years
He is uh out here in the audience. He's in a meeting right now
So he can't join us on stage
But uh, a lot of you have seen the video and uh, we're very grateful for that
The video has over
3600 views already, which I think it's amazing. You know that community has uh has really uh shown up
That first project that uh comes
With your relocated koala is karaka karaka is is the dimension wardens. It's a dream
Within a dream. He has been building that world since uh,
probably uh
12 15 years ago
And uh, it will be the first ip release and it will be a free claim for all relocated koala holders
So once you get into the relocated koala ecosystem through a relocated koala
You are are going to immediately start getting a you know utility, you know from the studio
so you get a free claim of our first ip launch which is karaka and uh
And everything else that comes with it. You know, we're we're looking at a
the possibility of of of launching a token
we're looking into all aspects of
Of of uh of the of the of the ecosystem and how to navigate the top economics so it makes sense
Events planned we have limited releases. We have uh, we're working with a few other artists that were lining up in the studio
To come and and be a part of the aptos ecosystem and as a relocated koala
You're gonna get you're gonna get an entrance to all of it the whole the whole studio
It's it's you you become basically a page a patron of the studio. You become a part of the studio
You become part of the story. You're gonna get
Previous of the comics that are coming out those uh, those previous were gonna want to hear your voice your output
You you become part of everything that we're building by becoming a relocated koala
And why are relocated koala because we move in such a fast tech world
Where we have so many chains and so much technology that you have to have
the adaptability
Of the changing conditions just like koalas have in real life, you know koalas
It's it's are one of the animals that have
The the the most remarkable adaptability when it comes to survival
So here we are in a crazy moving forward, you know technological world
And you know, we're adapting, you know to the to the to the new move. So we're making our move
We decided to go with aptos. We're all in
And uh, you know, we can't wait, you know, we're we're we're very happy to have partnered with mercado
Kaylani and arelias have been amazing, you know the whole community
And uh, yeah, so your relocated koala is the key
Your your voice in the studio and everything that comes, you know through our through our world
Well, thank you for sharing relocated koalas, um, you guys have a lot in your roadmap
It is really cool to hear about karaka and the studio and everything that you guys are doing surrounding the koala mint
Um their mint is coming up pretty soon. Actually, I believe it's february
7th if I am remembering correctly, so stay yes, it's february 7th
Let's fucking go
Awesome, and we are glad that you guys chose aptos and mercado to partner with. Um, we are looking forward to it all
Um, we are going to we have a couple more projects to bring up
Um, I am actually going to take a minute to highlight a few people who were not able to make it today
Um, one of our first, um
Drops is by an artist named mancini. I hope I am pronouncing his name correctly
Um, he is has produced art on
Solana and a couple of other chains and is
um recognized for
Creating art in a specific style with an x and o pattern and I don't know how to explain it
I'm excited for you guys to see it because it looks pretty dope
He's been inspired by a lot of street art styles
Um, and his first drop is going to be in partnership with aptos monkeys
So he's going to have an aptos monkey
Art drawn in his style. It's going to be a really cool collaboration
Um coming the first week right after the anons so stay tuned for that if I remember correctly
That is also going to be a free mint edition on the mercado launchpad, which will be pretty cool
Um, so yeah, stay tuned for that collaboration
We also have a couple other artists. Um, i'm gonna highlight nikole who is unable to be here right now
Um, nikola has produced a lot of super cool arts
Um, we met her a couple years ago actually on the stax blockchain
I believe she's had some drops on ordinals as well. And she is
excited to move into actos so
Make sure you give these new artists to actos a warm welcome. Um, she's known for isometric art
A lot of her stuff is super cool. Um, and she is going to drop a couple different pieces throughout mercado mania
Stay tuned for that. We have taraki. I don't know if taraki is in the audience
um, he was trying to make it but
He is bringing some generative art to mercado and actos
So if you were a fan of generative art and cool algorithms, he is bringing a micro aliens collection
Which he showed me sneak peek yesterday
Super cool excited to get him on and the last artist
Before we turn it over to to someone else that's here is jenny. Um, I am personally a huge collector of
Of jenny's work, um, she's also known as serene forest
And she has created a series of parallax collections. Um, she's already launched some art on actos
So, um, if you look up serene's parallax on mercado, you can see all the work that she's done
just super super beautiful
Art pieces and she has is going to drop another edition for mercado mania. So
That is some things from the art side that you guys can look forward to
And we'll be sure to highlight, you know, all of these projects on our mercado twitter as well. So
If you miss the names of of these guys, uh
Make sure to turn those notifications on and
Get in the loop
All right
Just one note from mine and um, I believe most of those are pre-minced, right mary? So
I think it's going to be super exciting as well
Yeah, so a lot of these artists are kind of like either already webtree or might be new to webtree
Um by having pre-minced and also I guess guest
fee sponsorship and marketing from the ecosystem would really give them a warm welcome to the actos ecosystem and how
You know communities like here as well
Um, so I think those means are gonna go super fast
So everyone, you know, just turn on the notice as well and be ready for those because uh
You don't even need any apt or you need just to click the min button and you get the nft. So
Doesn't get easier than that
Yeah, this is going to be pretty exciting we are looking forward to it and yeah thankful that aptos is
Um looking to subsidize or able to subsidize some of those gas and gas and other fees associated. So
We are excited about that
Yeah, and so sorry one last point as well for the anons, I know they have some issues
But uh, you know, they're pretty much manifest labs and I know you guys know them from you know
A lot of cross chain collections as well
um, so essentially, um, I worked with them back at polygon for the nft our alpha and
It went from like a 20 medic min to like 1000 medic floor price. Um, those were the good days as well
Uh, but I mean, you know floor price isn't the most important thing
I think it's the fact that they really know how to do nft marketing and community building
So i'm really excited to kind of work with them and um, yeah
Um, they are also doing a dj coin flip so i'm super excited for them
Thanks for sharing the week. Yeah, we have all kinds of good stuff coming
We are really looking forward to the anon strap. Um, and all the stuff that they're going to be building on aptos
We have a couple speakers up a beautiful legends. Um, I think I saw you first. So let's go ahead and
Um, have you taken stage?
Hey, thank you so much. Thank you so much for this opportunity
So, yeah, uh, let me introduce you to myself. I am strong on behalf of image saver legend
So we have we are a collection of around 5k and it is coming to
aptos blockchain
And we have already have a collection not
Which is similar to the current same
For which we have been building an amazing long and burned
Uh system so user so that user can lock their nfts
And they burn the old nfts and get the new nfts
and after that we have a
p2p system which is coming to aptos blockchain which has never
We have never seen that project coming on aptos blockchain. So yeah, we are building
That p2p system and we already have a marketplace right place marketplace. There is life
That is already live. Uh, so yeah, that's uh, only marketing part is left and
We are all good to go and some dough part is coming to like
On our collection
So, yeah, i'm pretty excited and we are also excited that we are going to launch during markato
Markato mania, so yeah, it's very exciting to see
Like what goes on next?
Thank you
Yeah, thank you for sharing. Um sounds like you guys are
Have a lot of really cool things in the works and yeah looking forward to bringing it to life on aptos
We're gonna keep the speakers rolling since we have a few hands up sushi, what do you love to take stage?
Gm gm everyone
Can everyone hear me we can hear you
Okay, my name is sishi and i'm uh
I'm the founder of
after lisa project i've recently made it it's
There's a it's on the markato launchpad, which is an amazing website there. By the way, I think it's great
recently started drawing
My nft's they're girls because I don't really see a lot of girl nft projects and I love drawing a lot
So I wondered why not to make some so it's going to be 52 total of
Girls it's called up to lisa and it's one a week. Um
I've so far done like five drawings different ones
and they're a collection mainly targeted for girls and
I'm going i'm going to release a new one this week. I haven't started it yet, but it's a work in progress
And i'm also wondering if it's okay if I can share my tweet so so everyone can see what my drawings look like
Okay, thank you
That's all I have to say
Thank you everyone for listening
Please do share i'd love to see
Thanks. Thanks for sharing. So we uh, we uh, we appreciate empowering artists in the ecosystem
And one thing I think luke alluded to earlier that we'd I want to make a reminder here is there's going to be a lot of eyeballs on
people on aptos with this event, um people from other ecosystems, so
as stewards of the aptos brands and people that are trying to promote
You know the the great things that are going on with aptos and the tech that it provides, you know
This is our good opportunity to kind of band together and really support each each other that are that are going to be launching using
Mercado during this time. So
Really support your support your local aptos artists as we'll say kind of during this this event
I've seen a few of your art pieces on twitter. They look pretty dope
So we are excited to have more come to to mercado and to aptos. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for letting me share. It was a great experience. Thank you
All right shamrock what's what's going on
Yeah, just wanted to add
some things
first one is actually like a throwback to
The thing with what this space started you mentioned
some of the feedbacks about
Launchpad that your grandma can actually use it. It was one of my personal feedbacks because
Like i'm like not technical guy at all
I'm all into art, you know all this stuff and
I was really struggling with the you know
All this uh, web through stuff like you need to find a def as something to launch everything
and when I heard that
Previously like indexer like mercado team is going to create something like these two on board
Like to to make it simple for people like me
to just you know
Create those nfts
And many of them on blockchain in like few clicks
I was really really happy and this is an amazing opportunity. So yeah
Some of you never tried yet
Their launchpad you need to try it's really amazing. And yeah, just you know, just so much user friendly
and the second thing is I wanted to mention is about uh
covering the gas fees
from uh by atos
Labs like uh by by the team and I see in the audience
I see fissure from aptomingos and I want to make a huge shout out to this legend because
When they launched their collection, they actually
Arranged the freemint but not like totally freemint they were giving
They were covering the gas fees for all the people who were supposed to mint the aptomingos
So i'm really really happy that this experience being you know implemented right now in mercado mania
So yeah, just so so so bullish on this. So yeah, let's go
We we appreciate the con words shamrock and you know, that that's the ultimate vision that we have from the launchpad
To be able to support creators and media file types and artists of all all different types. Um, so
Uh, we we love to get feedback on how to improve that experience
Um, they continue to build that out so it can execute on that vision to create this
Barrier less environment for people to launch all the great work they want on that blockchain
And you have green color in the ui, you know
We we we had our design guy in keeping you in mind as we were building that out
We love it we love it
Oh, yeah, we were having some issues with uh with the wind rug earlier. We finally got one of uh, one of our actives
Oh geez up here. When rug do you want to share since you haven't had an opportunity to share what's what's coming up for you guys?
I'm when rug for
Who doesn't know me? I'm uh part of the uga team
And I can tell you right now what we're doing, but it's about grimballs
So you guys go search about grimballs on the interweb or whatever you guys call it these days
And let's go
Awesome, but we'll be looking forward to at least more information about that to highlight
The awesome work you guys are doing as well as mercudio. So you got your your hand up james. You get what you get?
Oh, I I just wanted to um say it's great to hear some
Younger people on here creating and the nft's I think that's brilliant
Good to see when rug here james might be having some issues
Mary you can hear me, right? I think I think you might be the one having issues
James I can hear you hopefully hopefully others can but yeah, feel free to keep going
I'll just repeat myself. Um, I just wanted to say sushi
It's great to hear someone a lot younger in the space creating and good luck to you. I think it's fantastic
Um, and you know if you need any help with discord and stuff shift down
We'll give you a hand. No problem
Um, if you ever want to set yourself up a discord server or something
I just the reason I put my hand up is I forgot to mention about um
the token i'm gonna do from
Cribbles, uh cork token it will be a distributed to a lot of atros communities
Um at and they'll be pre-selected to be distributed to at certain market cap milestones
It gives a an incentive to grow. Um
That's all really sorry
I'm not sure if that really tags on very well to what I said earlier because it's been quite a bit in a while
Hey, that's all right. Thanks for chiming in again with some of the things that
I always forget something. I always forget something when I when I speak the first time
It's common for me to come back
No worries, sometimes sometimes it's hard to get it all in so yeah looking forward to all the tools and
Everything else that you guys are dropping. So
Thanks for sharing
We have baby pepe up here
Um, what's up, baby pepe? We'd love to hear a little bit about your project
Hey, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to speak a few words about the project iam wish from baby pepe
and first of all a big shout out to my kato team that
The way you guys are empowering other projects is
Super appreciable. So baby pepe is very early at the moment
We are like done with our design contract and everything but yeah, like we came just now
uh, the best part of baby pepe is uh, we are
4444 and uh
Another best exam best part is we grow as well
So if you're having a baby pepe, it can become a papa pepe in future
So that was like the small alpha which I wanted to share in the makato space. But yeah, uh more
Uh details are coming soon
So stay tuned
Sounds great. We are looking forward to it
Um looking forward to the art and everything else you guys are doing. So thanks for sharing a little bit
Um, we are trying to bring amralius back up here, but he is stuck
as a listener
So hopefully I don't rug since i'm the only host right now with
stable wi-fi but
Oh, there he is
I want to go ahead and highlight another project that is not able to be here today
Um a unique cat project with distinct art by some well-known artists in the space
Who are not to be mentioned yet are building on actos and launching soon. They will be part of mercado mania. So
Stay tuned for more updates on the cat arts. I just saw a sneak peek and it looks
Cool. So excited to share more about that when they are ready to provide more details
Um, is there anyone else
In the audience? I want to make sure we cover everyone that we've talked to about participating in mercado mania on the creator side
um, if you're an artist or project lead that hasn't had the chance to
Share what you are working on now is your time. Um
Aurelius, I don't know if we're if there's anyone that you know of that we're missing
I can kind of like share something. Um a little bit as well
Uh, go ahead
Yeah, I think like just a nice way to kind of round things up. Oh, I see sex kind of raise his hand
Uh, but yeah, I think
I with echo
You know token launchpad and bet as well. I feel like a lot more tokens will be coming to actos
And it seems like the meta for nft projects as well
Um is you know for them to launch tokens to facilitate
Their community and how their ecosystem ultimately works, even if it's like decentralized ip or something like that
So I mean definitely knowing the potential of some of these projects that are launching in mercado mania
I I do know
That there might be quite a few tokens coming up. So I know that's something what the ecosystem wanted as well
So I think we're gonna lean into the e-gen aspect really soon. So it's gonna be fun
Just enjoy and um, i'm excited for the right
Works out as well and appreciate the partnership on this event luke at sax. I see you got up with speakers
Is there anything you want to talk about?
Hey there. How are you? How's how's it going?
Doing well
Good good. Um, i've always been a fan of apps as you know, as soon as it came like about a year ago now and
I first got into apto mingos and uh aptos monkeys and I think
personally as a as an investor of on this chain, I think what may be lacking is
The I mean I think
aptos monkeys and the mingos they're a great example of how
Best to serve, you know
The people that are investing in it
And I think there should be a standard and a benchmark that all of us collectively could adhere to potentially
Um, obviously art is one aspect of it, but then tokenomics so on and so forth
There's many aspects of creating a community and drawing other communities to join aptos
Such as salana being a great example in ethereum
If we want to in my opinion to merge
These other you know people from these other chains onto aptos
I think we have a responsibility of being honest with ourselves and not
Accepting kind of inferior products and if if that is the case
It's it's a matter of speaking to those artists and saying well, look, this is our standard
This is the benchmark and this is why we're doing it. It's not just good for us, but it's good for you and the
Kind of fourth
We've got going here because the chain is great, you know, we've got low gas fees and
It's very it's pretty fast some and so forth, but we need to kind of be
you know in keeping with that by
Making sure that we kind of work with the artists and tell them what we expect
We can't just in my opinion flood the market with inferior
Not only nft not in terms of the art because that's more subjective
But how we market it how we brand it how we go about building a brand a company and I think other chains obviously
We're in the infancy stage. I would say with aptos
We set our foot forward and then continue on that that vein. I still don't see that
You know what? I mean that that kind of benchmark that standard being upheld upheld
I think we need to be a bit more honest with it in order to you know, fulfill
You know everyone's expectations and kind of going from strength to strength
So I wonder I think how we could potentially do that and I think it starts from it with all of us, you know
Um, I don't know what you think about that
Well, I can answer this yeah, I can say this I mean, um, I fully agree with you on this I think like
Just coming from polygon as well and growing the nft ecosystem over there. I think
Um, the beauty of like getting an nft ecosystem is that you know, the bar for the project
Rises exponentially over time and I think we're going to see that in the next couple of months as well
And this will likely be done via
You know technical support and ecosystem support with our existing blue chip collections
And helping to push the boundaries with our new token standards as well and do nft tooling
Um at the same time, uh, I think like right now, especially with my cardiomania
We're seeing a lot of better projects come onto this
Um the ecosystem, um, and I feel like they're gonna be a great example in terms of innovation and community building as well
Last but not least I think like, you know, there's definitely like as you mentioned
Like on e for solana, there's like that level of blue chip, right?
And like how do we kind of like either emulate that success or you know do even better?
Um, yeah, I think like we definitely need those kind of projects as well
And we're definitely speaking to some of the top teams in this entire web tree space to potentially
Um either migrate to eptos or you know expand to eptos as well
and I mean since this is quite a small group here and I don't really want to jinx it but
A huge shoot solana project will be coming to eptos. Um likely really soon. Um, so
Um, yeah, I think like this
The bar of nft is on eptos is going to be pushed. Um really high in the next couple of months and I feel like
Um, yeah with my cardiomania bringing on a lot more community members
And as somebody a lot more creators and working for a lot more protocols nft5 things like that. I think
I think a lot is going to be happening in this space
Uh, but yeah, I 100% agree with you that you know, we've got to like raise the standards and um, you know uphold those standards as well
Well, thanks for that. Yeah, I I I totally agree with the with all the facilities and the
The new kind of additions are eptos and and all its partners are kind of integrating and developing that that's definitely one thing
Um, but I just think honestly moving forward if everyone can uphold to like a benchmark
Of the of the standard because that's that's separate to
The into beautiful integrations are being developed is one thing but how do we uphold?
All of that that that's that's that's what we need because in the end of the day if we want the best
Artists if we want the best entrepreneurs on the chain
They're going to look at the landscape and the environment on the chain and if they see
Uh, you know, there's only for example again, it's very subjective in some some aspects
But if they only see one blue chip on the entire chain and then the rest are just let's say mediocre by comparison
it's just
In in a way because they they'll they'll just see that as well
There's not many people on this chain compared to other, you know other chains because they've got more successful
startups and nft collections that really care about the marketing branding and building community and
Reinvesting that that money that they're generating etc
And I and I feel like there's a responsibility from especially, you know
The platforms such as mercato and it's a great platform and it's probably the best one that I use now for aptos
Is to is to is to help kind of facilitate that movement that standard that benchmark?
I I just think it's it's very easy to allow everybody on the launch pad
But I think that's also a double-edged sword because it's great supporting independent
Uh people but I also think that it's good to be realistic
With the expectations and at the same time you can help them reach that level
Um, there could be a process and I just think that's maybe an idea to kind of
Grow into the you know, the the platforms the marketplaces
Um, and yeah, that's all I have guys
It's lovely chatting to you guys. Thank you. Thank you for giving me the flow
Sounds good. I mean sex
I don't know if you are already like in the nft telegram group chats and things like that
But feel free to dm me and hop on to the the chats and I mean give your opinions and advisor as well
I mean it'll be a fun time
Absolutely. Well, we'll do I will do. Thank you all. Thank you
Yeah, we appreciate it. Saxon just echo what we're saying
We always appreciate feedback on on the product and you know how we approach things
Um, there there is a balance with what you're talking about. It's having that curated experience also with allowing
Um, you know
We're creating this environment where you can launch something
frictionless and with note and permissionless so
You know that is always a balance to to strike and that's one thing that we want to
To help create from a tooling standpoint to allow people to
to have complete control over kind of launching their projects on chain, but
Yeah, appreciate the feedback and the ends are open as well on our side
Thank you. Thank you. Good luck guys
Thank you
Yeah conversations like this are important for us to have and to keep having we all care about
Aptos and the community community here. A lot of us are invested in a number of ways
Um, and so yeah, just want to say thank you for bringing up these points and we hope to
Continue the discussion
Thank you
We are hoping to wrap up the space soon
Um, we have some people that need to get back to the aptos ecosystem summit. Um
So i'm gonna give proud lions the floor for a couple minutes and then we are gonna try to wrap things up from there
Well, hello hello
Yeah, finally, uh, well this is I don't know what was happening there. I started to get on here for ages
But uh, yeah i'm here. Thank you for the opportunity to um, come on here and share a little bit of what proud lions has been doing
Um, first of all big shout out to marcato and the team
Um, they've been helping us from day one
Um, since we made our debut on aptos about two months ago
Um right for all of our collection for both of our collections, uh, they've been super helpful and they still are on a daily basis
we uh, we've been doing a trade contest for the gooey lions and
They've been helping us with scraping the data
Uh for every one of those trades, so I want to say a big thank you. They've been super responsive and always they're backing us up
Um, but yeah, we we've been um
Working on some pretty cool stuff. It has been uh, quite a journey for us moving over from eth
Um, but we're currently in the process of upgrading every single
app reward system game
Um over to aptos 100 now, um, we had a couple of things that we ran off chain
Um, and we're bringing everything online. So there's going to be tons and tons of transactions
That's going to be going on on the aptos network. Um, we're building a pretty cool system as well
Uh, that's going to help onboard web2 users
Um and make it easy for them so that the whole web 3 part doesn't seem quite overwhelming for people
Um, so we're kind of really focused on getting that done
And then bringing new people onto the ecosystem. We just love
The ecosystem on aptos. We love the community
Uh, we we've got tons planned. We've got some major announcements dropping tomorrow on tomorrow's space
We we're going to be doing some burning of gooey tokens live on the space. We're going to be announcing
Everything new that we're deploying
With our new reward system
Um annual we've got some little alpha going on there as well. Um on something new we're we're launching
Um in the coming month, um of february
um, but yeah, um
Thank you aptos for being supportive luke. You guys have been super helpful to us
Throughout the way and uh, we we we're going to make sure that we deliver on every aspect
Give back to the ecosystem
Um someone I can't remember who said it but it is important that we
Um also have a responsibility as builders to
Use the funds wisely
Everything that's raised should go back into building the ecosystem and building the community
And that's what proud lines has been from day one
And we want to make sure that the community keeps growing
And uh, yeah, we'll move forward
When the bull run comes aptos is going to be the next big thing
Thank you
Thanks for sharing and as i've just been exploring things on mercado
I've seen some pretty good nft stats around the proud lions and um
The projects that you guys have out so thanks for sharing a little bit of the alpha that sounds like is coming tomorrow
And yeah, happy to be building alongside you guys
And with that being said it is it's almost 11 30 my time and I want to make sure we get those
Who are at the aptos summit back to the rest of their day
So thank you everyone for coming
Shout out to all of the creators who are creating and building on
Aptos and on mercado. We are excited to partner with you
Um, we are excited for not only mercado mania to be an extravaganza of mince
So an opportunity to collect good arts and get involved in great communities, but to also reap rewards
Um like the cred token that will be launching as well as a series of mercado rewards
We recently dropped an announcement
Um on our twitter that includes quite a few of the details of mercado mania
We are still solidifying all of the collections that are participating. We have a pretty long list
So make sure you turn on your twitter notifications for mercado and acto so you don't miss out
Especially on those super fun free mince
But yeah, I don't know. Aurelius or loupe. Do you have anything to say before we close out?
Um, you know just uh, turn the notice bells on
On mercado, maybe my twitter as well because i'm probably gonna be sharing a lot, um in the next couple of weeks
But um, yeah, I think these NFTs should all fly off the shelf really quickly. Um, especially the ones that are
Not here as well. I think some of them are really really really, um experiencing good. So i'm super hyped for that
So yeah, just stay tuned guys
Thank you luke, um, orelius, I don't know if um, you have anything to close out with
Audio might be pretty bad right now walking, uh walking to the actos building, but appreciate everyone joining
We're really looking forward to this and empowering builders
In the space launching during the event and so on
So make sure as you said as I said, turn on the notification bells and we'll be looking forward to seeing you on twitter
Discord and all the socials
Thanks everyone for being here and we will see you on twitter and discord later. Have a good rest of your day
Have a good one shamrock and roll
