Hello everybody, welcome welcome welcome. We are just getting started here. We started the spaces just a little early because we have quite a few speakers and co-hosts today who are going to be joining us. And so just give us a few minutes to get everybody on and situated. Thank you so much.
All right, we're getting there. Getting all these speakers lined up. Thank you everybody for joining. This amazing Twitter space is a really unique one at that. We're just getting everyone lined up with speakers and we will be ready to rock and good to go here.
Great, looks like that we're all set up. We're going to just give it 30 more seconds to let everyone else jump on as there's quite a few people who have been anticipating this space. So just give us just a few more seconds and we will get the ball rolling. Thank you for being here and thank you for being prompt.
All right, welcome welcome to today's very special Twitter spaces hosted by Massa and Good Dollar and Valora joined here today by leaders of all three. We're really excited to be doing this today. Be bringing together and really
unifying the cello ecosystem even more with our collaborations and partnerships. Today we're going to explore our collaborations and partnerships and we're also going to dive into the new ways to earn, send and receive on the cello that's being made possible because of Moss and Valura and good dollar.
If that I would like to start today's Twitter spaces by just giving you an introduction to all of our amazing speakers. We're going to do a little round robin here so that they can each introduce themselves, but I'll list them all out and then pass the mic. We have Jackie Bona joining us, the CEO
of Valora. We have Pat Panderoza here, the head of product at GoodDollar. We also have by amazing team members and co-founders here at Massa, ClantyMA, and Brendan Playford. So excited to hear from them. We'd like to have them each do their own formal introduction.
So, pass it to you, Jackie, first. Introduce yourself and maybe give us just a little idea of what your vision is for Valora. Hey everyone, I'm Jackie. I'm the CEO of Valora. Great to be here and thanks for hosting this great space. Just wanted to introduce
We're going to use mobile wallet built on cello and the vision for Valora is to make crypto accessible to anyone with a mobile phone. We also try to make it the easiest way to interact with cello dApps.
explore and find different ways to earn, swap, and use your crypto in different ways. So, Masha, Valora, and good dollar are some of the dApps here that you can take a look at. So, excited to explore our partnership together and to talk about it a little bit more.
Thank you, Jackie. Pat, would you like to introduce yourself and also share with us a little bit more about your vision of good dollar? Of course, hello, I'm Matio. I have grown up Pat.
- Thank you. - And speaking to you from Daia, Brazil, I am Godolars product person. And well, the vision, the mission of Godolars is to reduce wealth inequality.
and 12 out people to learn and experience with Web 3 and the 5 without having to risk their hard or money. And we do that by giving people free digital money on the form of UBI.
I'm a big fan. I've been following the sort of advent of UBI for a while and it's really cool what's being done.
So we're just very excited all around. Clantia, would you like to introduce yourself and then pass it to Brennan, share with everybody a little bit more about the vision for Mosa.
Absolutely, and thank you for joining us today, Valoura, and GoodDollar team. Super excited to be here with you all today. Again, Twitter spaces feels like a living room conversation with friends on a Friday, so we're very happy to be here with you all today.
My name is Clanthia, I'm a co-founder and master. At Massa, we're trying to build the identity and analytics infrastructure for work three. We have been around in the cello ecosystem for quite some time. We won cello camp 5-6 last year.
And this March we launched our cello dev, which is called Prosperity Passport. Prosperity Passport is the first so-bound token powered identity passport for the entire cello community, users and developers alike.
We were completely blown away by the overwhelming amount of enthusiasm where we see it from the subtle community globally. In the past two months, we have received over 300,000 mints of dot subtle domain name and
unborted 58,000 people into the cello ecosystem. Now we are working together with Bluora and Goodallart team in building even the stronger cello ecosystem. Super excited to be here today and I'll pass it to my co-founder Brendan.
Thanks, Klanthia. Like Klanthia said, it's absolutely fantastic to be here with Jackie Pat and the rest of the community as well. Really appreciate everyone turning up this morning this evening, this afternoon, wherever you are in the world. So I'm Brendan, co-founder of Massa with Klanthia. Really thrilled to be here.
and talk to you about the work we're doing with both Ballora and Good Dollar as well and very very excited about all the work they're doing to increase access to finance in areas of the world and markets where typically access to either UBI or a wallet.
very very frictional and challenging for many many people, either high costs or high barrister entry. So really happy and excited to be collaborating to bring their products to our community and expand the reach and usability of wallets and UVM.
and Web 3 through the cello ecosystem. So great to be here and excited. Have a chat. Thanks, Brendan. Yeah, it's amazing. You know, I'm also having deployed a multiple different blockchains with our sold-down protocol. It's just been very remarkable to see just how cost-effective cello is.
and how accessible that makes it to really create an inclusive ecosystem that's truly global. I know that's part of the vision and the mission of all these leaders here. We're going to take a moment and go back to you, Jackie, and talk a little bit more about Valora. Can you share
with us a bit more of in-depth understanding of Valora, how do you serve your users, and how have you sort of built the user base that you have? What are they doing on Valora primarily as a wallet and financial tool?
Great question. And it was also great to hear each of the introductions, just the shared goals and missions, you know, with each of the founders that Penis spoke about accessibility, breaking down barriers, and just, you know, obviously trying to build a global community, because that's really what we're here to do at Ballura.
In terms of how we serve users, our mission is really to increase access to financial opportunity. And I mentioned one of the ways to do that is really to be the easiest to use mobile wallet out there that's accessible to anyone with a mobile phone. So we really try to make the language in the wallet.
And the content we put out, very simple to use, very educational. So I think that's one way that we serve users. Another way is how do we surface all the different things that you can do with a wallet. One of the problems that we see right now is that there's all these gaps and things that you can do in
the crypto ecosystem, but it's not always intuitive in terms of how do you actually discover and use some of these things. And so it's actually great to be able to partner with builders in the ecosystem to make these apps not only easy to use, but also just discoverable.
That's like really one of the things that we try to do within our DAPS page. And obviously, SELLO makes it really kind of easy from a cost-effective type of way and also one that's globally accessible. I think another way that we serve users as well is we really try to make it relevant for people around the world.
And one of the things that we've invested in, you know, a lot over the past couple years is around localization and really making, you know, the app relevant and in the language of our users around the world. So it's great to also hear that, you know, both Mata and Goodol
and we really try to be kind of like that interface when people go to that, you know, it's localized in our language. It's easy to use. It's kind of in plain speak and able to kind of, you know, like use a wall to easily find in, you know, to some of these gaps. In terms of the, you know, the, you know, the, you know, the, you know, the, you know, the#
what people do with Bolora today, it's great to hear that good dollars come on, it's another UBI platform that was actually a big use case for us, especially in our early days with our earliest partnership with Impact Market, which is another UBI protocol in in SELLO. And so, in
know, that was not like one of the first primary use cases where a lot of these beneficiaries were using Belora to be able to not only claim but also like receive their tokens. Obviously we're expanding that use case with good dollar. I'm excited to that. Another use case is ascending in
receiving funds. And so what are the things that we do, you know, is again, making it easy for users to be able to find their contacts through their contact book and their phone numbers. But I think Mocet takes it a step further by actually be able to attach, you know, user name to that. And so, so
That's another exciting development too that can help further that peer-to-peer global use case. So I'll just stop there because I know we're kind of short on time. Oh, no worries, Jackie, that's great. Something that some people may not realize, but that's in developing communities and countries all over the world because technology is exponential.
They don't go, you know people aren't using rotary phones in other countries everyone jumped to mobile as mobile became available and there's currently 5.5 billion mobile users across the planet so being mobile first you can just see how important it is to put these financial tools and people's hands
to be able to serve them where they are, which is really amazing. I know, in part why we are here is because of the DAP marketplace and really highlighting some of these DAPs on-sello, which is really amazing. Do you want to just touch on that real quick, Jack?
And then we can talk a little bit more about the Valera Massa integration, you know, the nature of this that marketplace, the kind of gaps that we're seeing and the diversity of how people can access this from their mobile device. Yeah, sure. You know, I mean, we have been partnering with a number of gaps in highly
And so I think today is actually the day that we're highlighting good dollars, which is great. And we did a couple weeks ago. But really, you know, we want to have a comprehensive library of DAPs. I think we're still in the early days, right? I think we have 30 or 40 different DAPs available. And again, we just want it to, we want to be able to do that.
want that DAPS marketplace or that DAPS page within Belora, you know, something that you can easily navigate, kind of explore what you can do and understand, you know, what are some of the DAPS that you, where you could actually use your crypto, you know, in very productive ways. And so that's really kind of the vision for that is to partner with
different apps in the cell ecosystem and then basically facilitate easy usage on mobile. Amazing. It's great. We love the collaborative nature of cello and how much everyone works out, lift each other. Let's talk a little bit about the Valora Masta integration. There's been a pretty robust integration that we've done
with Valora here at Mosa. I would love to talk about both the prosperity passport integration and solo domain integration with Valora. Gonna pass that to you, Brendan or Clantia, whoever would like to take that first and kick off the discussion on the integration. Happy to get that, Duke hell.
We are super happy to be partnering with Laura and the partnership itself is really exciting and truly multifaceted so I'll walk through each part of our integration and all of them are really enhancing the goal of trying to give more prosperity access to
global users using Valora. So the first thing, as Amatel mentioned earlier, it's really hard for global users to get identity without identity. It is really, really hard for them to participate in a web-free economy. So the first exciting
We have done with Valura. It's really incorporate dot-salow domain name into Valura. So now if you are a Valura mobile wallet user, you will be able to send, interact, or pay other Valura user using salow domain name.
I am Clantia Dorsallo and Amatéo is Amatéo Dorsallo. A feel for you to find us there. It's a really, really interesting opportunity to be able to communicate with users using very simple and human readable address like Dorsallo domain name. The second exciting
integration we're doing with BORA is really incorporating our prosperity passport app into the BORA app marketplace as Jackie highlighted before. BORA is really uniting a lot of great dabs in the cello ecosystem. So we feel very honored
to be highlighted in the debt marketplace and for the world as a global user, a global wallet user, you'll be able to go to their marketplace and then be able to access prosperity password directly from the world wallet, including maintaining your sell domain name
using good dollar. And then the third part is that we recently got highlighted by Valora. A lot of you, if you use Valora, you might have received a notification saying that you are able to mint a subtle domain name, 5 character plus for free.
directly in Valora wallet. That's a third integration we've done. Overall, just extremely happy with how deeply embedded we are in the Valora ecosystem, being able to provide access to financial system in Web 3 through identity at Massa.
Amazing. Yeah, it's so cool. You know, when we built the solo domain service, you know, we knew it had an incredible amount of potential, but to see it fully integrated in Valora and users being able to use those solo domains to transfer crypto is just an amazing
development. Brennan, would you like to touch any technicalities in that? Yeah, I think I'll kind of keep high level and speak a little bit more to how we see, you know, pseudonomous user names and usability really impact the ecosystem. I think there's sort of two sides to it. We
Massa really has this strong thesis on psychological ownership. And you think about the constant themes we've got here today across the board with Valora Gooddoran, us. We're very focused on increasing access to finance, providing prosperity for all and making these user experiences more
But also fitting in with sort of the way that people think about identity today. And when I talk about identity, I mean the way that we look at ourselves as individuals as part of a community or ecosystem, and what's really nice and sort of evocative about doing handles or domains or use and
names that are transferable and be onable by the individual is that really does give that positioning to a user where you can sort of reflect and amplify your affiliation with a community. And we see with a lot of our users there is this strong draw and connection to
the sort of values and the sort of beliefs that are held across the cello ecosystem which is really great. So not so technical but more from the psychological aspect of the way that domains and handles get adopted and really excited to see more and more of the ecosystem in cello
adopting these for easy to use, identifies, so people can send and receive crypto, and also ways of expressing people's affiliation in the community as well. From a technical perspective, very, very easy to get started if you're looking at integrating solid domains into your app or your wallet
It's a simple SDK, only a few lines of code would not take you very long to get up and running and have users tapping into our diverse and broad ecosystem, which includes for Laura, good dollar, and the 60,000 or so users that currently hold cello domains today.
amazing. Yeah, really great to hear. We've seen the power of identity and ownership within Web 3, what it unlocks and how it really just empowers the end user, which is something that we're really passionate about, right? It is giving users not only the ability to access these financial tools, but have the ownership of them and themselves.
We're now going to touch upon good dollar. So Pat, want to pass it to you for a moment. Can you share with us a little bit more about good dollars mission and how you have risen to become the biggest UBI project on SELO? Why is it resonating? What's the impact that you're making?
Well, as I said earlier today, we want to reduce wealth inequality and to allow people to experience Web 3 and defy without having to commit their money. And answer your question, how does good dollar rise to become the
biggest UBI project. The answer is that the Guadalupe protocol distributes free money for people to experiment. And one thing that we found out serving our community was that the community is formed of educated people.
people that are looking for opportunities to better their lives and the lives of others. So we have never done any paid marketing. Everyone that has joined Good Dollar, they joined because a friend brought them in or because of a new BI advocate or to a partner.
And people want to use Web 3 and we are here to help break down the barriers that impede them to do so. Amazing. And this is kind of a side question, but do you have any stories about the way that good dollars been able to empower
people's lives, what it's unlocked, or how it's empowered them in their community. Well, I have many stories present here in this, in the Twitter space listening to us. There are many community members who have a reason to become leaders in their communities. My favorite
One and a biased is Christiani Mangis. She is from Brazil, so that's why I'm biased. And she is an educator that has been using crypto UBI to teach people about long-term investment, to teach people about entrepreneurship. And she has, she's a
star to me and to the community that she cares for which is one of the biggest favelas in Brazil 80,000 people living in Kuroagia and so is Mariano. So we are very lucky to be to have a community that
is comprised of people that want to do better for the world and really blessed. Amazing, amazing. Now I want to touch a little bit on the good dollar and massive integration. Brennan, can you share a little bit more about the nature of this integration and how it works?
works. Yeah, absolutely. So I'm really lucky to, you know, work with GoodDover on integrating both on their mobile wallet, good wallet, where people can claim daily UBI really easily and effectively. And through our integration with GoodDollar, you can do a couple of things.
you can purchase a solo domain, one of the rarer and sort of shorter domains. For domains over five carrots and length you can get one in the qualm, I'm for free giving a very low barrier to entry. With good dollar you're able to use your claimed UVI to essentially buy a
another domain through the platform. Similarly, if you go on to the Masser application into our SPT app, you're able to claim, sorry, into our Select Prosperity Passport app, you're able to claim UBI directly from our kind of competition pool with good dollar. So our primary integration point was allowed
users to actually get utility with their good dollars. So going back to Pat's comment earlier about giving people that first on ramp to crypto, allowing them to touch and feel digital asset for the first time, giving away in which people can spend their crypto effectively to acquire one of these maybe more speculative domains.
is one of the first use cases. So very excited to accept good dollar for domain purchase through our application. And you can simply do that through the good wallet app, good dollar wallet or through the sell-out prosperity passport. So that's really kind of our focus right now driving users, driving distribution of good dollar and getting
more early adopters using good dollars to actually purchase goods and services in this case the seller domain. I'm using. I'm just adding one basic setting announcement today that to celebrate our groundbreaking partnership we have launched a five million
dollar token rewards pool in seller prosperity passport powered by Masa. So if you're a good wallet user in your feed off your wallet, you'll be able to see this banner that tells you about the $5 million reward pool. Following the banner, you will be able to enter the Masa
our Solid Prosperity passport app and we'll be able to participate. Every single participant of the rewards pool will also get a free so-bound token named Good So. We want to reward your participation in our cello ecosystem and we want more people to be able to enjoy the benefits of UPI.
So, I'm going to be posting that offer in a tweet underneath this Twitter space so everyone can check that out, participate in the campaign and enter to win their piece of the $5 million token rewards pool.
and getting a little bit closer to time, and I want to put the focus on the future, and we will continue the discussion on good dollar starting here. What is next for good dollar? What's the future roadmap? What things are on deck and are exciting to come? Well, we want to provide our community
to do with more ways to use their good dollar, find more partners on the cello ecosystem with just expanded to cello so we want to build more partnerships. One thing that I think it's relevant to this group of beautiful people is that we really want to develop our identity right now
Now we only green list people according to their uniqueness and liveliness so that you can only claim once and we want to enrich people's identities by adding other variables. So to make sure that these people can get access to specific
I think set of polls, for instance, segmented UBI, this idea that maybe there is a group of people that should receive a little bit more money because of whatever reason. So we want to make sure to enrich our identity and we love to be doing this with Massa.
>> Amazing. Thank you. Thank you. Now to Valora. What's next for Valora? What's on the roadmap? What exciting things are there to come? Check it.
I think in the similar vein of what Pat mentioned, deepening partnerships were continuing on with these DAP spotlights, definitely in the vein of education and encouraging usage of all these great DAPs on solo. I think what
One of the things I'm excited about from a future roadmap point of view, also in the theme of making things more accessible and just easier use from a DAP and wallet point of view, is that we're working with DAP developers to write plugins to have native actions
for their DAPS and Valora. And so, for example, being able to claim Good Dollar directly from Valora was actually one of the motivating use cases that we had to pursue this. And so, our team has been working very closely with the Good Dollar team on making this easier.
for their users to get started with crypto and to claim directly in Belora. And so we hope to do, excuse me, more of these kind of custom actions directly in the wallet through plugins. And so, yeah, really excited for that. And I'm looking forward to releasing the
$1 very, very soon. >> Exciting stuff. Love it. Okay. And for Masa, Brennan, what's on deck for Masa in terms of the future roadmap? What can people come to expect and be excited about? >> Yeah, absolutely. So Masa, we've really focused on, let's say, the last
and 6-9 months on, bringing on board users, getting to this critical mass of around 500-600,000 users through using domains and sold-bound tokens as a way of exciting the community, creating community engagement, and then actually driving by
is like understanding more of the behavior of your user. So as maybe certain groups of users who are more in need, get a different weighting when it comes to distributions, right the way through to power users that contribute the most to the community, potentially having a stronger relationship with an organization.
where through that contribution it reflects in the way they benefit from the ecosystem. So going to market offering SBTs, domains as a way of building up reputation and affiliation in Web 3, and now we're moving to building out our
analytics data infrastructure. You can think of it like decentralized Google Analytics. It allows any project to deeply understand the behavior of their users without compromising or giving away any privacy from the end user. So starting off with these SPT identifiers and domains, we use that as
a core set of premises to build up a behavioral picture of a user and then make that available to end users so as they can share that data with a project. The ultimate end goal here is that users get a better experience, they get better products offered to them that are more tailored, more suited to them and projects are able to understand
users to offer products that provide the most value. You know, UBI to the right users, the best wallet experience too, while it's in the case of Aurora, I'm really excited to get these features rolled out and you'll see more coming to life over the next one to two weeks as we go live with quite a few significant partners. So exciting times ahead.
Amazing. Yeah, I'm really excited about that, you know, being able to implement SBTs and then to be able to use those SBTs to really understand the nature of the user and to be able to create custom offers, communicate more directly to them and build a closer relationship is very exciting. And also, I think part of the ethos in the mission,
share together. With that, this is been an amazing Twitter space is truly I love to see the collaboration between everybody and I'd love to see that we all share in a global mission for the betterment of humanity and all. With this, any final closing thoughts before we sign off?
No, I agree. I think it's awesome that we're all here, you know, in our early days, right? That's right. And really doing our best to not only serve our users, but also, yeah, to impact the world. So it's really great. And I'm honored to.
be speaking with all of you guys today. Thank you, Jackie. Likewise, really great to work with great partners. Sorry every time I used the sound board, it seemed to kill my audio and everything went dead. It was fun last time I did it, but it doesn't seem to be working very well.
really great to be here with everyone and working with some aspirational and inspirational people. I'd probably add by saying that, "Selo is such a warm and welcoming, coming in tea." I see a lot of other founders and project leaders
knowledge, what our space is today. I think everyone is really working towards the same goal of providing access to more global users. That's the reason why we all want to partner together, collaborate to advance that goal. I feel lucky to be part of the ecosystem.
Yeah, I just want to say the same. I'm really proud to be here and just so glad to be working with you all. Thank you. Thank you, Pat. Thank you, Clantia. Thank you all. Thank you, everyone, who tuned in. Please go ahead and check out that good dollar offer.
Make sure to take some time to download the Valora app, check out prosperity passport by Massa, and just explore the ecosystem of everyone who spoke here today, also explore the things that we touched upon and discuss and see how you can benefit, receive the rewards
and be a part of this journey. With that, thank you everybody for tuning in and thank you to our speakers and appreciate you all joining this very special Twitter spaces. Hope we do this again. Thank you everybody for the time. Cheers. Thanks everyone. Bye all. Thank you. Bye bye. Thank you.
