Full Transcription
Thank you. Good morning, afternoon, evening, everybody.
Looks like we already got a full house.
This is awesome.
Give us a couple minutes to get the speakers up here on stage.
Let's see.
Dennis is already here.
Early bird gets the worm, huh, Dennis?
Yo, yo, can you hear me?
Loud and clear.
Nice. How are you? Okay. Feeling good today?
Feeling good, man. Feeling good. I think there's been a lot of kind of pent up demand of people sort of missing me Monday.
So glad we could get back in the saddle today. And there's a lot to talk about.
So super excited for it.
Totally.
I think also it's a good timing because now with all the new people
coming to Injective for the Kaido program,
they definitely need to know how many good memes we have on the chain.
That's right.
Absolutely.
Nice. that's right absolutely nice we got Naja up here Naja can we test your audio real quick cool what's going on everyone can you hear me yep GM
happy Monday we also got Kira up on stage. Kira, how you doing? Yo, all good.
Hope you can hear me well.
Loud and clear.
Awesome.
All right, folks, we're just waiting on a couple more.
Give us maybe one more minute and then we'll kick things off. Thank you. All right. Well, cool guys. We are three minutes past the hour. Um, I think it's a great time to
get things started. Um, appreciate everyone's patience and, um, you know, super excited to kick off this meme Monday.
You know, the whole gang's here. We are, I guess, missing a couple folks, but they might be rolling
in a few minutes late. So no problem. But yeah, let's, we do, I guess, maybe let's start here.
We do have a new sort of panelist joining us today, today Mr. Pedro and so I just want to give
Pedro maybe a minute or two to just do a quick introduction and then we'll jump into some of the
topics. Hello guys I'm Pedro the raccoon just doing some stuff on Injective, bringing some fun, exploring
everything, what Injective is doing, and trying to bring from Web 2 to Web 3 kind of stuff.
And yeah, I'm from Solana, Ethereum in the past, but jumping right now on Injective for one year,
sorry, for two years already.
And saw the community.
It was amazing.
So I thought, let's create something.
And, well, I'm here right now, I think.
Let's go. Heck yeah. pedro appreciate you joining us super excited to have you on the
the squad here um but yeah guys so with that being said let's just uh you know jump jump
into some topics you know i think one of the things that has been on everybody's mind um and
has been a sort of latest development in the meme community
has been around this idea of Puggo. Puggo seems to have been come back from the dead,
you know, so many years later. And so does anyone on the panel want to kind of give a
brief intro? Unfortunately, the Puggo team wasn't able to make it today. They had a conflict kind of come up last minute.
But I'm curious if anyone here wants to do Pugo justice
and kind of give some of the backstory and maybe speak about, you know,
what Pugo is and kind of give a quick intro on it.
So who's down to do that?
I don't remember everything anymore but as far as I know Pogo
is the very very very first coin on or meme coin on injective but at the time that I think there
was an exploit or something and it just basically died and yeah that was never revived anymore.
And then Ninja and Kira came later and then things kicked off.
But I'm not sure anymore.
I actually have questions for the Pago team.
So hopefully next time they are here. But maybe someone knows more about how things went in the beginning for Pago.
about how things went in the beginning for Poggle.
Yeah, I was...
Go ahead, go ahead, Pedro.
Yeah, I was, like, sawing his website and stuff like that,
and it was quite interesting.
Like, yo, so there was, like, a dev who left the very important wallet,
wallet code or something like that.
And yeah, and then the meme is alive or something like that.
They found the code something on the GitHub,
like yeah, on GitHub.
And then yeah, it's crazy. It's just crazy, and it's oversubscribed,
and stuff like that, I was so overhyped, you know, and it was just crazy, man, and it feels
like a real meme coin, you know, it's like, it's already like, one year ago, the last
meme coin was a very big hype, and now Puggle was alive and I think damn it's crazy man and
I'm very excited about that you know so uh yeah Puggle is really doing well and stuff like that
so uh on that part I think yeah in fact uh I would just actually took a look at their website
and it looks like they did a full sort of rebuild of the website um So if people go to their website, they can actually see there's now a timeline,
which is pretty cool.
That kind of goes into some of the lore.
But yeah, I think, Kira, you gave it justice
that essentially it died two years ago, 2023.
And then it says one believer revives Pugo
for the memes in 2025 with new smarter contract and a stronger meme
energy so yeah um hopefully they can join us next time and and uh kind of give us more details on
that but yeah I think that was one of the biggest sort of news events here on that's the question
about about that before you move on so the the original Pugo team team is not around anymore.
Am I right to understand that?
That's my understanding too.
Again, I don't know tons more details, but if anyone else understands the new team that has created it,
I'm happy to jump in.
Okay.
Another question for Pedro before we move on
so you say you are a raccoon
but I heard you are
a trash panda
so have I been given the wrong information
or what's going on here?
Trash panda or raccoon?
bro, bro, bro, chill up
it's not a trash panda
it's a raccoon
who loves eating trash we are not a trash panda, it's a raccoon who loves eating trash, you know?
We are not a panda, okay?
Guys, chill.
Okay, okay.
It's quants that tell us that we are shit.
Got it, got it, got it.
I didn't say your shit. Got it, got it, got it.
I didn't say your shit.
Sorry, I was making breakfast.
I'm gonna trash, Panda.
Bro, that's Ketman.
Ilu, Ilu eating trash right now,
so I don't know.
Doesn't like it. Glad we got that clarified you guys.
Very important distinction.
Okay, let's move on.
Alright. Okay, let's move on. All right.
All right, cool, guys.
Let's move on to Kaido Yaps.
I think that's another big development that's been going on.
It's been sort of rippling through the ecosystem and whatnot.
And I do realize we have a ton of new faces in the audience here.
I mean, there's almost 100 people in this space.
And yeah, just scrolling through, I do see quite a number of newbies here. I mean, there's almost 100 people in this space. And, and yeah, just scrolling through, I do see quite a number of newbies here. So does someone want to take sort of what,
what the whole idea behind Kaido and the Yaps are my whole timeline is full of it and my girlfriend is
now mad i think when it started it just um kind of incentivized a little bit of spam because people were looking to get
higher mindshare. And I've noticed a lot of those people who were spamming
weren't getting higher mindshare. And then I keep getting tagged in all these upset posts
about how they've been tweeting for X amount of time and aren't getting Mindshare.
And I think people just kind of need to start making more unique content.
So I think it could be a more effective way to distribute funds to like top ambassadors
because Kaido kind of doesn't value copycat content too much
or I guess circle echo chamber engagement.
So you actually have to make content that extends your traditional audiences
and gets engagement from higher valued people rather than just each other.
Maybe someone can explain exactly what the yapping is and if they want to participate
in it, how to do it.
Because from my understanding, you just create an account and then you start tweeting normally
as you would on a day-to-day basis.
But because you have an account and gave some permissions to it,
now it counts as gathering points. Am I correct?
Okay, sounds good. But what I already discovered is it's more for individual accounts,
personal accounts, project accounts are not really... yeah, they cannot really get a lot of points.
It's more for individual accounts.
Let's talk about the leaderboard real quick, guys.
It's been a fierce battle that's really kind of shaken up almost daily.
But I mean, right now, what we're sitting at is Mirza's number one,
Dennis number two, and Injustrius number three.
So, I mean, tell me a little bit about that battle.
How's everybody feeling about that?
So I asked my AI why I fell to the second place,
and my AI told me that the premier cabal paid Mirza.
So there's that.
Yeah, we did.
What I'm most upset about is on the seven-day chart where Jakey passed me.
I think that's a little frustrating.
So, I mean, the question is, what are you going to do about it?
Yeah, Parter.
Post more girls, post more girls, post more girls!
Post more girls. Post more girls. Post more girls.
I think I'm gonna team up with Illu so we can take over Jakey and Mirza.
So a double betrayal, so to say.
What are you eating?
Dennis, are you eating treasure as well?
Or what's going on here?
Does anyone have anything specific they wanted to learn about Kaido?
I feel like it's a good time to maybe open up the floor
if people in the audience want to ask about it.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
There's actually three folks that want to come up and speak
so let's give them a chance yeah i think just on a more serious note i think ilu already mentioned
it to really get the apps and mindshare like really focus on on producing quality original
content um don't use chat gpt don't use FirstFraps. Just be original, be creative, be interesting.
And I think that's the best effort to climb up.
Yeah. So we actually have Lois here. Lois, do you have a question about Kaido or anything
for the panelists here.
Lois, you can speak.
I don't know. I think multiple speakers.
Well, I don't have anything much.
GM, GM, to you all.
Can you hear me?
Yeah, we can hear you.
All right.
GM, GM, everybody.
Thanks, Luis.
I think Luis doesn't want to speak.
No worries.
I think the yappers are not very buzzing around on the space.
Everybody needs to participate.
Nooran, do you have a specific question you want to ask?
No, I was just participating.
I don't have any questions.
Okay, no worries.
Lois, go ahead.
You're still up.
Yeah.
No, I don't have a specific question.
I don't know.
I was hearing the noise, though.
I think it was affecting what I was saying.
That's why.
So I had to like...
Can you guys hear me?
Just like mute my mic.
Yeah, we can hear you. Can you guys hear me? Give me my mic.
Yeah, we can hear you.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you, Luis.
Cool.
I think just like chatting about Yaps and Kaido in general, I was personally really surprised that Nandra was 15th, 14th rank, right?
Because we have a relatively smaller audience and follower count in comparison to some of the larger accounts like Illu, Jiki, Kwantz.
ilu jakey quants um and what i think is really interesting about kaido and yaps in general is
that uh it's a really good measure of like virality and engagement um and that it really
is pretty smart in terms of like people that are trying to game the system or try to do like
targeted raids and stuff like that that that was traditionally, you know, done by smaller communities before.
And I feel like it's a really good capture
of our respective projects, you know,
broader engagement across the ecosystem
and that it really gives pretty good visibility
in terms of like the top 100 people in the ecosystem
that's really providing like cross-functional engagement
and engagement strategies
that really resonate
with other people. And I feel like that's really key for the meme projects across the
space within Injective to really strive to be on because it really is, I think, a pretty
objective standard to say, you know, memes should be engaging. Memes should have a resonance to its community, right?
So therefore you should be performing well on the,
like the, the, the apps leaderboard. So I love it.
I think it gives a really good visibility and a really good like gut check as
to what your content strategy is and,
and how you're actually performing what your content strategy is and uh and how you're actually performing with
your content strategy uh ironically you know like nanja's uh uh more eye-grabbing content right um
helps to perform in that engagement and virality so uh we we ended up being just
creating stupid memes but kind of front randomranded algorithm that really supports more organic engagement.
And I think that's pretty cool.
And I think it's a really good reflection across projects to continue to push on, regardless of financial incentivization.
So kudos to the team for rolling this out, because I think it's such a great process for us to continue to push ourselves on.
Great. Yeah, I appreciate the insight there, Nanja.
I think you kind of wrapped it up nicely and kind of gave the audience here a bit of an idea of sort of what it all what it all takes and and sort of what's involved in
in kaido um by the way a wild jakey appears everybody um jakey do you have anything you
want to talk about with regards to kaido i just want to say how much how much fun it's been seeing
uh seeing how active everybody everybody is on the timeline again I know things were sort of quiet for the communities
over the past while.
I mean, I don't know about you guys,
but big anticipation for Paradise and Choice Exchange,
but we can only tweet about those things so many times.
But it's been really nice just seeing how many people
were sort of like hidden in the shadows uh if you
will like i i knew the the community was always there but i think that our voice is is is finally
being heard again which is is really refreshing uh as i'm sure some of you guys know i'm in a bunch
of chats on on like solana and hyper evm and all of them are DMing me. They're like, what's going on with Injective?
My entire timeline is filled with it.
What's new?
Do I need to onboard onto it?
And so it's giving me a lot of flashbacks back to November and December of 2023,
where the exact same thing happened again.
All of my Solana friends and Ethereum friends were hitting me up.
They're like, okay, what's going on with Injective?
Because everybody on my timeline is finally talking about it again.
But I find it so funny that that Kaido is, you know, sort of not spearheading
that change because everybody in the community and everybody that's
building is spearheading that change.
But it was kind of like clicking on the lights to the electrical that we have
all been laying down
over the past year and a half.
So, uh, it's been refreshing.
Um, I'm, I'm fired up about it, especially with the launch of Choice.
Um, I just, I'm, I'm overall, I'm just extremely ecstatic and, and seeing how active this space
is as well.
I think we've got like uh mind you i don't
know if i made it on the last one but the last me monday i was on this has like more than double
the listeners that were on last time so uh clearly the the overall sentiment is a lot better and
people are excited um about the you know the meme community again, which is great.
It's nice to see familiar faces, nice to see old faces, nice to see new faces as well.
And over the next month and a bit, I'm stoked.
I did miss the first part of this space because I was on a meeting.
I have another one shortly as well, so I'm not going to be able to hang out too long.
But I did want to ask, I got hit up in the DMs earlier this morning.
Our friend Amir from Pugo, he unfortunately wasn't able to make it onto this space because of an Eid celebration.
I don't know if that was already talked about or if the project has been talked about.
But somebody reached out to me asking to, you know, start to give a rundown of it if it hasn't already been so please let me know
if it has or not
yeah good that you talk about it
we just mentioned it a bit and I said
that it was the first ever
coin MemePoint created
but then that things went
bad there was an expert or something
so I wasn't able to
give all the information so maybe you can
provide the real backstory about Pago expert or something so i wasn't able to give give all information so maybe you can provide
the the real backstory about pago and who is behind it now because it's not the same team
that launched it right that is now in in charge no it's uh yeah that's absolutely right it's new
team and uh you kind of got the gist of it down pat. Now, I'm not sure exactly what the exploit was.
The Lustrous might be able to pinpoint it because I think he watched it completely unfold.
But yeah, essentially Puggo was the first meme coin that was to launch on Injective. I remember drawing a one-of-one Premier Ninja for them way back in the day. But I don't think we ever got over to them because once the exploit happened, they kind
of disappeared.
It was a really hyped up launch because it was the first one, of course.
I think it did pretty well on launch as well.
And then basically nuked straight to zero, similar to all those bundle rugs on Solano that I'm sure you guys
have experienced over the past year. You know, everything looks good for a few minutes. You're
like, wow, I'm up 100% and then you blink or you turn away and then look back and it's all gone.
So yeah, Amir is now sort of spearheading the, I guess, the relaunch of it.
Because of how much lore there is behind it,
it was the first meme token back in 2023.
It got completely exploited.
So it wasn't even like a team rug.
It was just an unfortunate series of events.
And I think that's just because the infrastructure wasn't there for teams initially.
So yeah, team vanished after that.
All the funds were gone and it was dead for a while.
But I think everybody,
especially if you are on Injective from 2023,
everybody knows about it.
When you say Pago, like that's the first thing I heard of. And so when I saw that it was getting derugged
and sort of also reshaped a little bit.
I was excited about it, you know?
It's one of the first things I ever experienced on Injective,
and I know 2023 was a really busy time for a lot of other people on Injective,
so yeah, Amir's relaunched that.
He's done a good job at cultivating a community around it,
even though things
are quiet right now but I think that you know as choice really fires up and
paradise launches as well there can be some excitement that returns to it I
mean there's I don't really think there's a coin on injective that has as
much lore as that and I'm sure there's Solana traders in here you guys know
lore coins always
always tend to do well um and it's got a good guy in the space that's uh that's derugging it so um
he's reshaped the meme as well i think with a little bit of help of illustrious they've sort of
taking that uh that that good boy um from TikTok and everything,
and they're turning that into a tokenized form.
So some of the replies have been pretty funny.
And yeah, I'm just excited to see where he takes it.
And I encourage you guys, if you haven't interacted with it,
do it, go do a little bit of research into it.
I think you'll find that there's a lot more to it
than just a relaunch of the coin.
That's cool.
I'm curious to talk with the new team
and see where the heads are.
To be fair, most people have no idea about Pogo
because it's simply so long ago that this happened
that it just flew past everybody's heads.
Only the true OGs know that there was
a coin like Pogo before the real meme coin hype started on Injective later.
Good deal. Jakey, thanks for joining us, man. I know you got to jump soon, but appreciate all the backstory there. I do want to give an opportunity, if you can stick around, Jakey or Quants, to give us a little background on Choice. Obviously, you guys had a decentralized exchange and aggregation platform. That liquidity is fractured or fragmented through different exchanges like Helix and DojoSwap and sometimes Astroport.
Choice kind of lets you, with the volume splitting and hops tool, access all of that liquidity from one interface.
into nanja or even a smaller swap into nanja and um you turn on volume splitting and max hops
uh choice will give you the best possible output uh for your buy uh and it would be
much higher than if you were to just trade on dojo swap or on helix and you can test that out
for yourself um so that's pretty exciting. Helps make traders more capital efficient.
And then we're coming out with a traditional AMM similar to DojoSwap. But the only difference is
that it incorporates the same function that Helix has where part of trading fees go straight to the burn auction. So if you're trading on a cunt slash ing trading pair on choice,
if you place a buy-in, 0.05% of that trade will go straight to the burn auction.
So it'll ideally help increase how many ing gets burned every week on the burn auction.
So that's that's about all the choices right now. And also if you're familiar with bank and CW20
tokens, Choice will handle all those conversions for you. So you won't even know that you have more than one asset type
and in the portfolio section it'll also aggregate those tokens so you see them all in one spot
sweet hey thanks once jakey anything to add any uh additional detail
Jakey, anything to add? Any additional detail?
I have no additional detail, although I'm going to say this.
Just watch what tokens are being traded on choice.
I mean, I'm going to assume there's going to be a lot of exciting things coming over the next few weeks.
So I'm excited to get the next Ginger, the next Kira, the next non-jah,
the next ninja, the next Pedro.
Uh, I, it's going to be a lot of fun.
Um, and at the end of the day, that's, that's all that matters.
As long as you're having fun, you're making friends along the way.
Um, it'll be good things.
Uh, yeah.
Keep notifications on for choice exchange.
And, uh, if you guys,
you know,
test out the product,
you like it,
let us know what you like.
If you don't like parts,
let us know what you don't like recommendations,
give them to us in the choice,
choice discord.
We're open.
We're,
we're,
we're listening to you guys and,
yeah,
I'm excited.
Go choice.
Hell yeah. Appreciate Choice. Hell yeah.
Appreciate it, you guys.
Yeah, super excited to dive in there.
For all those sort of still wondering what Choice is all about,
I did pin the announcement this morning that Choice posted.
And so click on that.
Go check it out.
Give the decks some volume and just see how it works out for you guys.
And maybe one other question is, you know, what's the best way to, I guess, engage with the Choice community, right?
Is it X? Is it Discord? Where's the best way to kind of engage?
And then also maybe if there's questions or feedback, where would the best venue for that be?
Come to the Discord.
The Discord invite is sex, C-E-X.
And that's how you come join the choice community,
chat with us, and help us make a better product for you.
Yeah, thanks, guys. Can't wait to dive in. Cool. Well, let's move on a little bit,
you guys. I think another big thing happening later this month, just to kind of hype people up,
is Injective Summit. I hope many, if not all of you, are going to be there, you know, we are only just over two weeks away.
New York City, June 26th, it's going to be like the who's who of Injective is going to be there,
right? We're talking everyone from a lot of the panelists here to government and institutional players. We're talking, you know, professional traders, funds, I mean, you name it, they're
going to be in New York City. So, you know, scrap together those couch pennies, you know, professional traders, funds. I mean, you name it, they're going to be in New York City. So, you know, scrap together those couch pennies, you know, go dumpster diving if you have to, you know, jump on a flight and get out to New York City late June.
But it's going to be awesome.
It's going to be just, you know, a great day of, you know, talks and community engagement. And you guys have to see
this venue. I mean, we're talking, this is a new level of experience for a venue, right? We're
talking about a literal bank vault that will have, you know, the ability for you to kind of go inside
and check out like what an actual bank vault looks like. So, I mean, there's just like lots of things going to be happening on that day.
And if you're anywhere near New York City, if you need to fly in,
if you need to take a cross-country flight, it's, you know, it's completely worth it.
And it's going to be just a great day for ninjas to get together.
And we're going to have more activations like we're doing now.
But, you know, what better friends than in real life friends right so come meet a lot of the
panelists here come meet a lot of the injective team and um yeah it's just going to be a great
time who uh who on by the way i'm curious who on the panel is is coming coming out and wants to give a little shill for Summit?
I'm trying to make it out.
I'm driving distance to New York City, so I'm hoping to make the day trip out.
Jakey and I will be there, and we'll be bringing a lot of Benny masks
so come rather bank with us
we'll both be there looking forward to meeting
a lot of you
we'll be there as well
and the Bangkok venue was already
amazing and if Rocky says
the New York one is topping it
it has to be good. So join us definitely.
Pedro will join the live stream, sadly.
Hell yeah.
That's okay.
You know, we need community members joining there and hyping people up for the panels too.
So appreciate you, Pedro.
All right, folks. Let's jump to kind of our last topic of the day, and then we can open up for community questions. But I think another sort of meme adjacent or directly something
affecting the meme culture and community is the whole idea of pump fun. You know, they've just recently in the last,
I think it was a week or so have announced that they're going to be launching
their own token.
And so I wanted to kind of open it up to get everyone's thoughts on,
you know, how do you think this is going to go?
You know, is it bullish for the, for the sort of greater mean community?
the sort of greater meme community and uh like what are your overall thoughts on that
And like, what are your overall thoughts on that?
yeah do you want to go first illustrious i can go first because um uh as i'm sure you guys know
i'm not a not a huge fan of i'm fun uh this comes out of sort of like a moral moral side of things
obviously as a business their goal is to make as much money as they can.
And they've done a fantastic job at doing that.
And the next step in order to continue doing that,
I believe would be to launch a token.
So from that standpoint, it makes sense.
From the standpoint of a community person
who I would say I tend to hold,
try to hold high moral values in the space.
I don't think that's the step that they need to be going.
They kind of, I guess, went back on their whole returning value to the community thing.
They recently launched creator revenue sharing, which is a good step.
And I think they did that because they saw the competition from GFM
and from the Bonk launch pads,
because both of those launch pads prioritized that from initiation.
But it's very obvious that they don't really care
about returning maximum value to the community.
They more so care about making money.
So yeah, it makes sense for them to do it,
to make more money.
But I think it's damaging to the space.
The space is a casino.
If you're putting out competition
that is putting more funding back into the space,
then there's no need to.
There's an argument that if Jupiter has a token
and Jupiter is making money off of their token,
then why can't PumpFun do it?
And I think that's because Jupiter has put a lot back
into the ecosystem, and they've done that from initiation
as opposed to PumpFun, who's only integrating those aspects
into their business
now that they need to so yeah that's my opinion on it they'll probably be super successful um is a
four billion dollar valuation crazy yeah i think that's absurd um is the one billion dollars going
to come from the space probably not it's probably going to come from the space? Probably not. It's probably going to come from private investors. So yeah, I don't know. We'll see how it goes. I'll probably put a tiny little bit into
the pre-sale if I can, but I'm going to assume I'm not going to be able to. But yeah,
not overly bullish on it. Kind of see it as a top signal more than anything for Silvana.
Yeah, I'm also not bullish on it.
In general, I'm not bullish on Pampfun because it just burns the people,
like especially newcomers.
You come into crypto, you're like, oh, let me try, you know,
buy a few coins on Pampfun.
All of them go to zero, almost all of them go to zero almost all of them go to zero
and then you burn so i think it's really not a good thing to bring people in the space through
pump fun for sure so not bullish to yeah for newcomers um i would prefer to to to see you
know utility getting getting bids again and stuff like that like there's too much casino at the moment in my opinion like I'm sure most of you can agree but I
would just prefer things to be differently but since they're not you
gotta make the best out of it but yeah
it feels like fast money grab from yeah from pump fun it's like uh what kira's tells a lot of
gambling and stuff like that i know people love gambling because i'm asian and uh my uncle is like
has a gambling addiction so it's it's it's easy for them to to gamble money on them and if you lose something
it's it's quick to join again to try it again to to push it again do it till you win something you
know and yeah it's it's it's i don't know it's it gives them bad taste in my mouth you know like
that with all this uh pump.fun and all that crap, no? So I'm also
quite bearish on that part.
Yeah, just stick to the
coins that have been around
for a while, that have proven
that they work regardless of the
market conditions, and I think
that's much better for newcomers.
Like injective correct correct and like the memes yeah
not financial advice either
but awesome you guys well uh that's all the topics i think we got for today um i do want
to open it up
for some community questions while we're sort of waiting for people to get you know here on stage
i do see our favorite anime girlfriend lon is here lon do you want to say anything
Hey guys, GM. Can you guys hear me?
hey guys gm can you guys hear me yeah gm
Yeah, GM.
Yeah, I sort of just wanted to talk a bit about Kaitho.
Like, I think many of the people might have a question about how the rewards will be distributed.
So, yeah, I wanted to answer that and it would be mainly based on the rankings, like the higher ranked people on the leaderboard will get higher rewards.
And yeah, I will also make a post about it very soon so that you guys can have more details on that.
Also, yeah, if you guys have like more questions about that, then you can just come up on the
stage and talk about it.
Perfect.
Hey, thanks, Lan.
Thanks, man.
Where's Dragonite?
Dragonite should come up here and talk.
Lan is the best CM ever.
Yep, there we go.
Love to see it.
I've approved like four or five speakers, so come on up,
and let's get some questions going don't be shy
well i guess oh here we go all right we got our first speaker q uh what's going on q do you want
to ask a question yeah absolutely gm guys can you guys hear me we can gm amazing well i i have like
a couple of stuff to run that.
But before I go to the questions,
let me just come out straight, right?
Amazing stuff so far, you know, nice space.
First of all, I would like to say,
Qwants, you guys do amazing short clips.
I wish that maybe you guys could kind of like
put those contents on YouTube
because a lot of people from where I'm at,
they like me to just like share YouTube links,
maybe like YouTube shots, maybe, you know,
the quants content.
I feel like maybe for more reach,
you guys could touch more lives basically, you know,
on YouTube.
So I would like to see quants put over your TikTok content
also on YouTube, if that's something
that you guys can actually do.
I feel like it's something you could do. You just, once you post on TikTok and on X, just take it
over to YouTube. Also, it will bring some income to you guys. Then on the second point, you know,
we're talking about Meme Monday. I feel like in the coming months, there's going to be like
maybe one more meme to join us because of Choice exchange you know i've been in the community for
some time you know taking some time to look around and i see the mascots i don't know if i should
mention this but there's like the charles mascot i feel like charles is going to be a full-blown
mascot maybe sometime in the future maybe i don't know who kind of like half charles on the stage i don't know can you like verify that i i will not i'm honest i will not support you guys tovenizing charles so yeah
i'm not going to say tokenizing like just like to have like maybe some pictures you know stuff
like that maybe i feel like that in the coming months or maybe even a year you know i just had to let that out then also um another thing is the fact that i don't know
since jakey kind of like way around the block um with pogo for a second there i don't know if anyone
saw what what he had to say like emir had to say something on x and he was like hey can someone
read this out so i don't know if i could go ahead to read what he had to share uh can i go ahead you know rocky injective um can i go ahead with that
uh i guess as long as it's appropriate um then you can yeah yeah absolutely he kind of was like
let's say i i thought i thought jakey might read that out boy he didn't like read it just went
like around the block,
but I kind of cut it short, basically.
I'll make it very short.
So he's like, sorry,
he wouldn't be available to join the meet, you know,
but he wants someone to read it out.
He's like saying, hey, Pogo is created, you know,
because injective chain needs some transaction
for real purposes, more, you know, more on the meme side,
and not just the future finance stuff.
And he says chains are valuable,
and of course believers, and also for their meme cults.
Now, Pogo is a law we've been saying so far.
It's a great law for injective.
You know, the old dev forgot his private keys,
and he went around the blockchain,
stuff about the GitHub stuff that we talked about here.
You know, money's gone, dream shattered
and nobody can actually forget about Pogo.
But Pogo fairly distributed to the community
with Mito Finance, you know, which is the idea.
He also wanted to mention that everyone could create
something good like this on injective
and directly get them to be tradable, you know,
on the first ever order book Dex Helix, you know,
and it's like encouraging people to ever look at yourself,
like you can't do something, you know,
take a look at Pogo, for example,
that you realize the community
and the power of injective dreams really come true, you know.
So that's what he had to like share, you know, it's Emyr,
that is E-M-Y-R, Premier.
You kind of like shared that one.
But yeah, besides all of that, one more thing,
this is where my question comes in.
To everybody, every panel member here,
like Ninja, Quant, Kira, you know, Agents, Nonja, Pedro,
when you have an idea of seeing maybe community folks,
you know, creators make content about your project,
what comes to your mind?
Like what kind of narrative do you feel
you would like to spread out?
You know, I'd like to hear from at least like two people here,
you know, two names here, like when you see stuff
or what would you like to see a creator post about your stuff?
You know, on a personal level to your, you know,
your branding and your mission for Injective.
Yeah, I'll hop in.
I feel like every project's going to have
a different answer, right?
Because I feel like across the board,
every meme up here really has its own different niche and different lore and different background.
From a non-just perspective, we're really and always have leaned heavily on the aspect of being a CTO and continuing to operate as a CTO that doesn't engage in KOLs, doesn't engage in any paid advertising, doesn't
engage in, you know, like, influencer-based, like, shills, right? We truly try to be a true meme,
a true community that every post that you see about Nopter, it's because people want to post
about it, not just because they're financially incentivized to do so. And we're really proud to never have to engage in that type of strategy because that's what
we think a meme should be, right?
So that's really the narrative that we're trying to push out.
In terms of curation of content, we're pretty unhinged, as you know.
So we really challenge the community to do whatever the hell they want with the likeness of Nanja.
We really don't have a set design standard.
We really don't like AI.
Usually all of our memes are hand-drawn.
So that's really the only thing that we kind of try to curate.
So it's really Nanja is just here for the community and to to get laughs because
uh since there's no uh there's there's no real like formal team we're all volunteers right so
like you can kind of do whatever the hell you want so that's why i think some of the the funniest
memes that actually make me belly laugh um come from nonando just because people have the freedom to do whatever the hell they want. So yeah, but that's like, again, like our perspective. I think that's inherently
different strategies than every other team, but like that doesn't make it right or wrong. That's
just kind of the lane that we chose. Does that make sense? Yeah, absolutely. It makes 100% sense.
I don't know. I think Ninja was to jump on this one ninja let
me hear from you yeah so uh if you've been in our community before uh anytime over the last year or
two you'll uh you'll be familiar with our prophecies and our our vision of the future and how it how
it how it unfolds for injective how it unfolds for Ninja and the meme community.
So we've been pushing, at the moment,
our comic book releases,
which are telling the lore of Ninja and the other memes and how we fight for the Injective ecosystem.
And what makes us really happy
is when our community members post about that lore,
because obviously it's important for us
to spread that message and spread that story more widely., because obviously it's important for us to spread that message
and spread that story more widely.
I feel like it's really powerful.
It helps push our community stronger together forwards
and also helps engage other meme communities
because the whole story is about beating
and combating other memes from other chains.
So yeah, so that's all good.
And obviously we like the normal post of chart porn
and everything else that people post about ninja dogs and nunchucks.
That's also awesome.
But to be honest, anything that pushes forward our current comic,
which is coming out, you know, that's really something we like to see.
Yeah, makes absolute sense okay I see Quants wants to jump on it yeah I was
just gonna say I'd injective like it's a decentralized exchange it's in
blockchain built for finance and I always find I also love this so don't
take this the wrong way, but I find one
of the biggest ironies is that we're hosting like a meme spaces for a blockchain for finance.
And so with quants and the ticker being cunt, it's kind of meant to encapsulate that. Like we
are here for the larger mission of supporting a blockchain that's built for finance. Like we're all on Helix or DojoSwap and our assets get traded,
which is what an exchange is for.
But at the end of the day, we might not be those major league quants
that would be doing tons of volume or making tons of money off of off of trading so with quants
the whole idea behind that is to kind of represent those people
who are just here uh tagging along for tagging along for the journey
absolutely it sounds sounds very very straightforward all of you guys. I think I have the perspective that you're coming from. Thank you for quite the awesome answers and direct answers. But for real, Kwant, I'm really looking forward to seeing you on YouTube. I have a lot to say or share when it comes to that aspect. But yeah, I think that's it for me.
But yeah, I think that's it for me.
Awesome, thanks Q.
All right, we got another one.
Let's see Tema or Tema, go ahead and ask your question.
All right, thank you.
So basically, it's still the same thing
Q was talking about, but this time it's directed to you,
Injective.
So basically, what would you like to see people post about your project
as injective as a whole yeah I mean we like quant said you know we are sort of the injected
we're the blockchain built for finance and it finance encapsulates, you know, many things, right?
And that's why you see us one day we'll post about, you know, institutions coming to Injective.
And then the next day we'll, you know, be posting about something meme related, right?
Because those both fall under the financial category.
And, you know, our mission is really to create kind of this ecosystem and larger sort of economy, right?
That's the Senator Ron giving access to as many people to take advantage of the global financial system, right?
So you could think of us as sort of this on-chain Robinhood where, you know, everything under the sun is tokenized from FX and commodities to stocks and crypto,
and everything is now accessible to the global audience. Today, it's extremely hard for people
in outside countries, for instance, to access, let's call it, you know, US equities, right? They're likely paying middlemen. There's
likely a lot of fees involved. Our mission is really to just level the playing field so that,
you know, anyone, anywhere can, you know, trade, invest, whether it's a short-term or long-term
trade, they're able to do so on injective. And, you know, everything from meme coins to,
you know, call it government bonds, right. And everything in between that. And so,
you know, I feel like we've sort of positioned ourselves well. And that's why we're hosting
this type of, you know, meme Monday. And then we also host, you know, things like the injective
summit, where, you know, the biggest institutions in the entire world are coming to speak and to meet, you know, the Injective community.
And so that's really what we represent here at Injective.
And that's, I think, what we're most excited about building here.
And, you know, we're super excited to have everyone on this panel and everyone listening along for the ride, right?
Because we would not be successful without you guys.
So hopefully that answers your question, but that's a little bit about sort of our mission here.
All right. Thank you.
Well, also something else I would like to know.
I've been seeing this whole NFT stuff going on on Injective.
I'm pretty much new to the ecosystem, the Injective ecosystem.
So I'd like to know, how does the NFT stuff work for the Injective ecosystem exactly? Do you guys
have an NFT market or is it just some people personally creating their NFTs and listing them. I don't know.
How does it work?
Do you guys actually have an NFT market?
Yeah, the NFT marketplace is injective.talus.art.
Okay.
And, okay, I think Pedro wanted to speak.
Okay, back to you at Quance, you said, I didn't really get the marketplace.
You said injective at work.
I'll send you a link in your DMs.
All right, I really appreciate that.
Cool, guys.
Well, let's go ahead and stop it here.
I feel like that was a good one to end on.
And yeah, what a breath of fresh air to come back to me Monday and have such a great reception.
Hope everyone's doing well in the audience. I want to thank all the speakers up here
for their thoughts on everything from Kaido to, you know, Toys Exchange. We got Pugo and sort of all the greatest developments here on Injective.
But yeah, super excited.
Again, let's all regroup here live, you know, for me Monday at the summit, right?
So we're just over two weeks away.
Again, New York City, June 26th.
We hope to see you there and it's going to be a great time.
So appreciate everyone joining
this new Monday
of June. And
let's get after it. So appreciate
everyone. And yeah,
let's go.
Awesome. Thank you, guys.
Thanks.
Bye.
Bye, guys. Thanks. thanks bye
