Full Transcription
How's it going?
Good, man.
Good.
How are you doing?
Good, good.
It's a beautiful snowy winter morning, so I'm loving that.
Man, I wish it was snowing where I was at, too.
What are we at today?
49 degrees.
Just kind of like 49 and cloudy.
It could go either way and just wish it would just make a decision.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, that's rough, especially in the middle of December.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, man, Duncan, how have you been, though?
Good?
I feel like it's been...
Wonderful, dude.
It's been great.
Yeah, I've been back on.
I think it was, what, like last March or something.
Yeah, it's been quite a while.
So we have, I think, probably lots of new people here who have not had a taste or a look into Moso.
So definitely excited for this one.
Yeah, I already see some of our newer community ambassador guys in here as well.
So, Paul Mehta, nice to see you.
Glad to have you listening.
Appreciate you.
And yeah, so a lot of people continue to do this afterwards as well.
And we can have a great chat.
Let's go ahead and just dive right into it then.
Why not?
Oh, and Austin is a listener.
Glad to have you as well.
I see you there.
Yeah, we got Austin.
I'm pretty sure Tony's in here.
And there's also, like, I think a few other people from Moso's community.
Super excited to join in.
Very nice.
Very nice.
Very glad to see that.
I know you guys are working hard on getting them more involved now.
So let's just go ahead and dive into the beginning here.
So for everyone that obviously might not know you, just feel free to give us just a quick intro to yourself,
a little bit of your background.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
My name is Blake or, you know, Blakers, whichever one you want to call.
I joined the crypto space just as like a, you know, casual investor probably back in 2016, 2017, just toying around with everything.
And as every year went by, I just got more and more interested to the point that I wanted to start, you know, working and actually building in the space.
And I was very fortunate enough to come across a name or a company by the name of Project Galaxy, who's now Galaxy and was one of the early employees there.
And worked there until, you know, probably some point last year, middle of last year.
And that's when we started this journey with what we call Moso now.
Yeah, it was very nice to work with you.
It was a pleasure.
But yeah, I did.
I definitely, I think I told you this before.
I always had a feeling you're going to definitely be doing your own thing.
So, yeah, very glad to see you guys still working so hard at this and, you know, pushing for everything you're doing and these awesome quests, of course, which we'll dive into.
But first, for those that don't know Moso or know what you guys are doing, just give us your best intro for those that aren't familiar.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So what Moso is, it's a platform that allows users to earn crypto while shopping online.
So, you know, super, super high level breakdown is you can go shop at pretty much any store, be that Walmart, eBay.
I know a lot of people get excited.
We just got approval for Shopee for, you know, a lot of Southeast Asia users.
And so, you know, go shop at these stores online.
And after you make a purchase, you earn crypto directly into your wallet.
And we open it up so that, you know, you can choose whichever crypto you want, select different types of networks, be that base or, you know, Bitcoin or whatever.
Yeah.
And just select whichever crypto you want to earn it.
Pretty straightforward.
And so similar to other browser extensions, like Honey, for example, et cetera, when you go to pay, et cetera, it's just there, right?
Just right, easy click?
Yeah.
It's basically you go in, you check out with, you know, a credit card, debit card, you know, as you would normally on these sites.
And then we work with the merchant in the back end where they'll pay us a commission for those transactions that we then pass back to the user in the form of crypto.
Amazing.
Very simple.
Which, in my opinion, is best.
So, and very hard to do.
And, you know, that's the goal.
I think that was a big focus point on our last call was, like, user interface and just overall user simplicity were the two things that we solely focused on when building this out.
It's like, look, if my grandma were to come on, could she use it?
Like, you know, maybe she's maybe not familiar with the computer, but I'm sure it would take me two minutes to, you know, get her familiar with it.
Yeah.
No, no, I agree.
And it's, I think you guys have done a really good job of that, which, in my opinion, is, like, one of the, a very hard aspect to achieve in crypto.
So, but I think you, just knowing you, you always dove right into, I would say, like, the barrier between, like, Web 2 and Web 3 very nicely when you spoke to people.
So, I think you definitely had an edge when it came to that.
So, it's nice to see that come to life.
It's a nice little selling point.
Everyone, everyone can understand it pretty easily.
Yeah.
I'm excited to see what you guys have done now with, and so, so we'll go into this.
We'll, we'll start here with the integration.
So, obviously, we're about to go over most of the quests, et cetera.
So, with these quests that users will be completing and, you know, the factor of integration, can you explain what the integration means within the quest and what users can expect with that?
Sure.
Yeah.
So, you know, when, when I looked at a lot of these, you know, quest platforms, specifically Galaxy and, and knowing, you know, you guys so well, you know, it was very obvious that it was, it was kind of similar to the merchants we work with.
Or even, like, like how we form partnerships with some of these merchants.
And to the fact that, like, you guys have, you know, like your website and, and, you know, exciting that you guys are launching an app here soon too.
But, like, outside of that, it, it basically, the user needs to visit the site or see somewhere in the Discord or on Twitter that, hey, there's something going on.
Right.
And so, we wanted to build something that was, was, you know, super easy for the user to give them more exposure where that would also then give Galaxy more exposure to their current user base set.
And, and maybe, you know, users that, that we have, you know, so on and so forth, where when they visit, let's just say, I don't know, like what, what's, what's one of the top spaces in Galaxy now?
Uh, in, in Galaxy right now?
Um, well, recently, uh, Tycho, uh, Mantle, Manta, Polyhedra.
Sure.
Yeah.
So, so let's say you visit Polyhedra, uh, the website as a user, you're going to just learn about them, you know, check them out or, or maybe do their bridge, you know, whatever it is that you might be wanting to do.
Um, you now can go there and the extension or an extension will drop down, basically telling you, hey, there's quests available.
When you click on, like, enter the, the quest, it'll take you right to the Galaxy page where then you can see all the open credentials or tasks that you need to complete to earn whatever reward it might be.
And it's also one of those things that like, we're going to continue to develop out and develop out.
So it's not our quest, but we're sort of like aggregating what the Galaxy quests are in a way that it provides more exposure for some of these brands.
It provides users an easier way to find like quests from platforms that they're visiting.
And the really cool part is we only really see like the exact websites that are, you know, like, like real.
So they're not going to be the scam sites either.
So, and there's no possible way for them to be.
So for like, let's say there's polyhedra.com that asks you to connect their wallet and like polyhedra.xyz, I don't know.
And on the xyz, it's a scam.
On the .com, it's the not.
The extension will only drop down on the .com.
So it also provides that extra sense of security that, hey, look, this is, you know, with this extension dropping down,
I know this site is legit.
I know this site is, is, you know, a place that I can trust.
Oh, also I can go do a lot of these quests and, and, you know, maybe earn some, some token rewards.
That's very cool.
It kind of, it just removes that, the accidental option of going to the scam link.
Yeah.
I like that because they've, they've gotten really good at making fake links.
So they really have.
Yeah.
I've, I've unfortunately been a, been a victim of that.
And so when I saw that, I was like, ah, it's actually like a, like a very unique, not intended benefit.
It just like a very cool thing that ended up just being, you know what I mean?
No, I agree.
I, I, I like that a lot.
It's just an extra perk and it's, it's, it's perfect at the end of the day.
So, um, no, that's, that's very cool.
I like the angle you guys have taken with this.
Um, and, and, and now, so obviously with, with the integration, et cetera, these quests, um, you know, what can users expect from the quests?
Uh, you know, would you be able to just give a, uh, us a rundown of, of what that process is going to be when they hop onto the Mosso space?
Yeah.
So like, like, are, are we talking about the quest that Mosso is running now or, or what Mosso quests like will, will be, I guess is.
Oh, uh, first let's go over the one.
First, let's go over the one that we're doing right now and then what it's going to be.
Oh yes, yes, yes, yes.
So the, so yeah, so what we're doing is basically, um, you know, a total of $15,000 of rewards.
What we said, and there's still time to go and do this is only the users that have pre-installed Mosso before the quest goes live.
And this will be a snapshot taken like two or three days later.
We'll have access to the $10,000 reward tool.
Um, and how it's being set up is, is, you know, the tasks are going to be, go do a quest via Mosso quests.
So go visit, let's say polyhedron, uh, see the quest that they have going on, join complete.
Right.
And the second part to it will be like a tiered, uh, system where if you don't refer anybody, then you'll have access to a certain part of the reward pool of the 10,000.
If you refer like one to four people, you'll have a higher, uh, access to, to more rewards.
And so, and it just keeps growing up until 10.
Um, and then the people that don't join, uh, the pre-access or, or the pre-install will have access to a $5,000 reward pool.
So very, we very much want to incentivize users to start learning about Mosso quests, start familiarizing themselves, download, see kind of what Mosso is now, because it's going to be very, very, uh, similar.
Um, and so those users are going to get access to a much higher reward pool when this quest goes live or when, uh, when this new campaign.
It was like, yeah, when, when everything comes together and, and do we have a exact timeline on when it goes live, the new one?
Yeah.
So, so right now we're working with our developers.
Uh, we just got, you know, one of our final, uh, test, uh, or extensions that we can test just to make sure everything looks good.
And so our, our QA team is going to go through, uh, make sure everything looks good.
If it looks good, then we can probably get it out sometime by end of week.
Just depends on when Google, you know, approves it.
Um, if not, it'll be very, very early next week.
Okay.
Wow.
Very cool.
That's very exciting.
Yeah.
Um, yeah.
So that's sooner, sooner than, yeah, actually, well, it is the 12th of December.
I, I, I kind of, I feel like it's earlier still, but, um, but yeah, so in the process of, I would say more of the, the conception of the idea and then, you know, coming now into being closer to, to completion, integration, um, et cetera.
What were some of the initial goals that you had in mind with this, um, that, you know, you wanted to achieve or still want to achieve, or, you know, do you feel like you're getting closer to these goals through the process?
Yeah.
So, you know, one of the big things for us was, was look, there's, there's obviously a lot of online shoppers and, and, you know, uh, to a lesser degree people that also know about crypto.
And so the long-term goal is always, Hey, you know, we want to be able to put crypto in the pockets of, of people or in the wallets of, of people that are doing everyday things, shopping.
Right.
And so the question then came up is like, how can we give more exposure to the shopping side where people can earn a lot of crypto?
And is there anything else that we can do that will also serve in that similar role of, of you can get rewarded for doing something.
And then that just was like a, like a, you know, part of my, my language, but like a holy shit moment of there's these guys out here that have had, that, you know, are giving rewards out.
Why are we not helping facilitate that as we are on the shopping side?
And so what I think we'll see is two things.
One is a lot of the galaxy user base will come to see like, Oh, this is actually really, really cool.
I, it's much easier for me to maybe see campaigns of sites that I'm visiting on an everyday basis and the communities that I'm in.
Um, and two, those people or some percentage of those people will start to see, uh, the benefit of the shopping side of like, then they casually visit shopping or Walmart or whatever store.
Um, and they're like, Oh, I can earn 7% back on my purchase here.
I mean, this is a no brainer.
And so I think like the two and two, uh, end up going, you know, hand in hand when, uh, when a user downloads it, they get, you know, the, the amazing web three side, but they also get that web two touch of shopping and earn crypto.
Yeah, no, I, I, I, I really liked, um, the way that this, this, yeah.
Yeah. And in the sense of exploration, I think this is really nice.
Um, especially like what you mentioned for the shopping side, like I've obviously, yeah, I've never, I've never known of, of Shopee before.
Right. And 13.7% crypto back.
And also I, I, it's fun seeing crypto back.
I like that instead of this cash back.
We wanted to have a little more fun with it.
Yeah, that's nice.
I like that a lot.
It, it really, um, really feels like your own thing.
You know what I mean?
Like you could definitely, uh, take over that line for sure.
Um, well, yeah, I'm glad to hear that.
I, I, you know, obviously I've read over the, uh, proposal that you guys put out, everything, et cetera.
That was some very exciting stuff.
Um, would you mind just kind of going over what the process, um, of that, uh, was for you guys and, uh, how that's been so far?
Um, so the proposal or like the, the gal token proposal for the gal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So this is, this is kind of switching gears a little bit.
So there's funny enough to, you know, integrations that we're doing with you guys.
And, and, and I think like it serves the benefit very equally for both sides of, of, we are now integrating, you know, a lot of the, the quests that you guys have to give exposure to users and to activate users in ways that we originally couldn't.
Um, and, and, and, you know, to the flip side, you guys have a ton of users that are very web three focused, very, very, you know, crypto savvy.
And so what this galaxy shop is, is basically giving galaxy away where they can have their own shop page where galaxy users can go in and, and shop at these various stores, all the stores that have been mentioned so far and over 2000 others.
Um, but on top of that, what, what Duncan's getting at is the proposal.
So the proposal is, is that, um, you know, we propose that 50,000 gal tokens, uh, goes into multiplying the rewards, uh, you know, when shopping under the galaxy shop page.
So what that means is let's say shoppy is 15% back.
Uh, the new reward rate will be 75% back.
Uh, you know, jeans, which is 5% back will then become 25% back.
And so we're creating almost like a new utility for tokens where you can allocate some tokens toward this shop page to further incentivize users to earn in your token and, and, you know, shop online at these various stores that they are now able to support.
Um, very cool.
And so, and so when, so just, just how far this can go long-term, obviously it would be more than, uh, it could be multiple types of tokens, for example, at the end of the day.
Sure.
Yeah.
So for us, like we, yeah, we list our own tokens, but we want to roll this.
We're rolling this out for you guys.
Um, you know, hopefully the proposal is able to go through and, and, and then after that, we hope to roll this out with other platforms.
Like, let's just go back to Polyhedra.
Uh, we hope to roll it out for, for companies like them that are either have already launched token or plan to where it gives them and their community and that whole other token utility, where even if you are a B2B style company, uh, you can still activate those, you know, 2C type of users.
Um, and give them an option, you know, that is really not out there, uh, to, you know, play around with your token, earn in it for actions that they do on an everyday basis.
So it's just extending the relationships that we've built and giving that access to, to everybody else in the space.
No, I, I like that a lot.
And you mentioned, obviously, hopefully it passes.
Um, I've, I've seen very great response.
I hope so as well.
It looks very positive so far.
I've, uh, kept my eye on that.
So, um, yeah, I just wanted to mention that as well.
Um, cause I think it, it is a really, it is a really cool, yeah, it is a really cool portion, uh, alongside what you guys are doing with the quests.
Um, it's, it's, it's great, uh, right towards the end of the year, these, these really exciting things.
I think it really gets the people, um, hyped as we, as we go right into January.
Right.
Um, and now, so alongside the, you know, current quest, uh, well, I guess,
um, reward for the, the campaign that's live right now and what's coming, um, is there anything else in specific that we can expect or any sort of pieces of information or, or sneak peeks or anything when it comes to most requests that we can get from you today?
Or, or we, maybe we can expect it coming in January or, uh, this, this first quarter.
Yeah.
So I think like the, the cool thing about most in general is, is we're, we're really never satisfied.
And so we'll see our, as you know, told by us now doing all these other integrations that are, are similar to what our core is, but also like, you know, never really done before.
Um, and so, so on the quest side, uh, we're rolling out kind of like a base model version of what this is going to be, where the extension drops down.
You can click, uh, you know, enter, and it'll take you to the galaxy side where then you can do your tasks.
I think the next evolution of what this then becomes is, um, users can actually see all of the, the campaigns that they're participating in.
So all they have to do is click the most so extension button.
They click participating, uh, little like menu bar tab, and they can see all of the active campaigns that they have, you know, uh, uh, approved credentials for.
So let's say most was running our own campaign.
You visit the most of the site and, or you just click the extension button, um, see participating.
And if you follow our Twitter or in our discord or have made a purchase or signed up in the past, you can see these active campaigns that are going on that are potentially worth rewards that you might've already finished.
You might have two out of the three tasks completed.
And so that's, I think the next evolution is we want to keep making it easier and easier and easier for them to, uh, or for our users to see kind of like what they're actively participating in, what they've already completed and can go claim, um, or just what they're missing out on.
And, and, and I think that's kind of like the, the next stage to, to all of us.
I, yeah, I, I think that, um, to see what you're missing out on would be very big as I feel like a lot of people can just lose track of things so easily.
Um, so yeah, so basically what you're saying is that kind of next step would be a more advanced version of the dropdown where, um, you know, you have an active tab, et cetera.
It becomes like a little hub essentially.
And you'd see this from wherever the extension drops down from, correct?
Like I could be doing a, um, you know, X site, just any random X site or whatever, and it drops down and I'll see all of my actives, et cetera.
Exactly.
Yep.
You got it.
Okay.
Awesome.
Cool.
Very cool.
Yeah, no, I, I like that a lot.
Having a little hub for it seems really nice.
I find that that's the one thing, and this just kind of goes into the realm of like, um, extension talk where, um, like honey, for example, like I used to use honey and then I kind of just gave up on using it as it just kind of just, I don't know.
It was, it felt boring, but it was, uh, you know, it never, it never felt like they decided to do like, like what you mentioned, right.
It never felt like they decided to do anything like that.
Like, oh, you could be missing this deal, et cetera.
You know what I mean?
I never really, they never made that prevalent.
So I think that that is a really good way for, to, to take a lead in this space, right.
In the shop extension area, especially.
Yeah.
And I think like, you know, uh, galaxy who has, I don't know, let's just say right around, I think the last time I saw was 13 to 15 million users.
It's like, look, I don't know, 5%, uh, download.
And let's just say that's, you know, 750,000 users.
That's that many more users that can now learn about the shop side as well.
And so there's like a multi dimensional benefit where you get the shop side, you get more exposure to these campaigns, but you also get more exposure to like what you've already done.
Whereas you can click a button, you might've made a swap like seven months ago on, on Uniswap.
They act, they just recently ran a campaign that maybe you didn't see, but now you can see that you can go earn, I don't like, like, you know, 20 tokens or 20 bucks worth of, uh, rewards.
And so I think it's just like a really unique way to open up the door for, for a lot more participation in these things.
No, I, I agree.
I think that the, that exploration will just be like massive, I think at the end of the day.
So, um, yeah, very cool.
Very exciting.
Um, I, I, I love to see you guys putting this kind of stuff out.
It really activates the community, um, ours and yours, honestly.
So very exciting stuff and now that we are kind of covered, um, all of our different pieces for today, we won't, obviously we won't run too long or we'll, we'll go in circles, but do you have any final words for the people, anything you'd like to push anything where you'd like to guide them any way you'd like to, uh, you know, they can participate in the muscle community.
Yeah, I think, you know, the, the one thing, you know, and, and, and just to be like fully transparent that.
That we failed on this year was we last year, when we did the end of year campaign, we had a lot of, you know, traction, a lot of downloads and, and, you know, also a lot of people join our discord and community.
And then, but like, there's only a few of us.
So there really wasn't all that much, you know, support and, and, you know, way for us to be in discord and chatting every single day.
But on this next kind of like round of, of us building that up, um, you'll now see that there's a lot more of us in there every single day of the actual core team.
And then you have the moderators as well.
And then we've also built out a few roles for, for people that are in there every single day and, and really helping out, you know, everyone.
So even if I'm maybe unable to be there and maybe our moderators out, you know, like, you know, having dinner or lunch, there's always someone in there now to help out.
And, and it's, you know, become actually like a really fun community where we're all just hanging out in there, playing games, talking, you know, we're doing AMAs every Thursday about like what's actually going on at Moso.
So, um, you know, different questions that, that our user base has.
And so I would say, I would encourage, you know, whoever's here to, to at least go check it out and send a couple of messages.
And, um, I mean, I, the only two, uh, uh, uh, discord spaces that I have is, is galaxy and Moso, and those are the only two I'm, I'm fully, fully active in.
And so we want, we want it to be like an open collaboration between both, uh, both discords.
You can come to us for anything, uh, you know, galaxy related.
If there's any issues we're having happy to help troubleshoot, even if it's not Moso related, um, you know, and vice versa.
If there's anything like directly Moso related on the shop site, we're always in there helping out and, and, and chatting.
So definitely encourage anyone to come and join and hang out with us.
No, I, I love that.
I, I encourage everyone as well to, you know, make sure you take a peek in there, say hello, spread the, the, the joy and cheer, obviously, as we get into the holiday season as well for everyone, of course.
So, uh, yeah, I'm, I'm glad you guys have, uh, you know, taken that, that big step as well.
I think it's, it's super important.
It's tough at the same time.
It really is hard, but once you, once you get those good guys and the, you know, everyone, everyone chatting up and et cetera, and there is always someone there.
It is very nice.
So, um, it's a hard process.
It's also very rewarding is, uh, as well as like see the excitement from everybody that's jumping in there, you know, coming back every single day.
And, and, uh, yeah, so, so we're super excited about it.
Um, we have someone now, you know, living in there full time on the core team.
I'm in there every single day.
Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone, uh, you know, jumps in, jumps in on the team weekly.
We set that kind of be mandatory.
So it's not just, you know, the same one to two people every time, but, uh, you get some new faces in there as well.
That's awesome.
I'm glad to hear it.
And I'm glad to see what you guys have put out.
Exciting stuff guys.
I've linked the, uh, proposal I've linked the, uh, campaign that's ongoing right now.
The most requests pre-launch, um, excited for what's to come in the next week or so.
And, uh, especially everything after hopefully the proposal passes.
I just want to thank you again, Blake, for, for coming on.
Um, it just, you know, but yeah, I'm real happy that, you know, you guys have worked so hard on this and, you know, you've really made this your own.
Um, so yeah, congratulations.
Of course.
I appreciate it and always appreciate the, the support from you guys at Galaxy, uh, excited to see what this next couple of months has to, has to offer.
I think it's going to be a couple of good ones.
Amazing.
Thank you so much, guys.
Check out the, uh, campaign.
Check out the muscle space.
Check out the proposal, follow the Twitter, join the discord, of course.
Thank you, Blake, for joining us.
Thank you, Austin, for listening.
Thank you, everyone else.
Appreciate you all.
Have a wonderful morning, afternoon, night, wherever you are.
And we'll see you next time.
See you guys.
Bye.
