Okay, finally.
Apologies for that.
Hey, Alan.
Hey, Morgan.
How you doing?
GM, GM. GM? GM GM GM GM
GM, can you guys hear me?
Perfectly clear my friend
Sounds good, good, how are you?
I can't complain my friend, I definitely can't complain
Alive and kicking, how about yourself?
Good, well, you know, this is good Alive and kicking. How about yourself?
Well, no, this is good. Always working on stuff.
Perfect, perfect.
Well, let's get started.
Alan, how you doing, man?
Mic check. Can you hear us, Simon?
I don't know if this is just my mic.
Just put a laughing emoji, everybody, if you can hear me.
I'm making a fool of myself yet again.
We hear you a lot, no worries.
Okay, so it's Alan's microphone.
All good, all good.
So let's get this started.
This is the MPDAL grants build AI agents on story spaces.
So really, really keen to be talking about
what we're doing in the next couple of weeks just funding builders here in the
story ecosystem. Anyhow, but before we get into started, Morgan, you want to talk a
little bit what you do over at Story Protocol?
Of course, thank you a lot. So quick introduction. Hi everyone. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you're from.
I'm Ip Morgan, and helping builders across DeFi
build for stories.
But because stories focus on intellectual property
and the brand of DeFi that we do, so we call it iPhone.
Yeah, and that's me in the nutshell.
Perfect, my friend.
So we're here. Well, it's been quite a journey the last couple of weeks
for story people are keen and maybe bear with us a little bit if you can give us a little
bit of an insight on what the last six months have been for you and the last three weeks Four or five or six. So we're going to six week on mainnet or this is gonna be five
Reminded me a little bit. I'm just it went by so quickly man
Very very we just went blasting
Yeah, so six weeks I think think just ending six weeks is mean.
But yeah, the last six months, just I want a quick understanding.
So Sorry was building our layer one.
And I think we built it in a really fast manner for focusing on a specialized L1-type story.
So story, just a quick overview of what we were doing.
It's an L1 case, it's EVM compatible.
But story's unique L1 component is that it has a set of IP
registration, monitoring, revenue distribution,
functions in the form of royalties.
So at L1, we are also special in the sense of having a big set of tooling and
architecture at a blockchain level, particularly catered to intellectual property.
And so in the last six months, we spent a lot of time building this,
also building original tech, right, just to cater to intellectual property.
And we ran a very quick testnet.
Testnet, I think, was around, started in August, September,
so that's the sixth month.
We ran a very well-read batch campaign
for just one to two months so that users
could test the network at a big, you know, after the user feedback
and also helping a lot to introduce a lot of ecosystem
projects to the audience.
We spend the next maybe two months or so
including the December holiday,
brushing up the five major mainnet
and on Valentine's Day,
story went live.
And so now it's been six weeks since Gigi.
Quite a lot has already happened in six weeks.
Right, there are many applications now
building a story around infrastructure quality.
There's also AI-related large AI companies accessibility, which
is the time to table the future models in web.
On the EFI side, we are working with partners like Metapool and also other EFI applications
that are initially something familiar to a lot of users today who use DeFi, but
they are all going in the direction that most common DeFi protocols are changed.
I'm sorry, DeFi applications are working towards AI, are working towards intellectual property.
So in the six weeks, we've brought on about
a different level of DPL across all your quality
by liquidity, so all builders cannot access
the good liquidity for whatever is their building,
for their governance token, for their users.
So yeah, in six weeks, we've really done quite a bit,
but there's a lot more to be done.
And I think what we we got to really talk about what
storage focused on the AI segment for intellectual property. Thank you very much Morgan. Again,
it's always a pleasure hearing folks from the trenches right right, building. And more importantly, just getting that initial traction,
which we know it's so critical
for any project launching on mainnet, right?
And so you guys executed brilliantly.
And hopefully, again, some folks
that were part of the testnet went home
with bags full of precious IP and then
hopefully staking it in protocols such as Metapool, right? So it just went
FYI for folks that are just coming in. So we're doing this space is to talk
about the Metapool DAO grants program that is funded by the Medipool DAO.
Medipool is a local seeking protocol.
We are a protocol where folks can come in and stake their IP tokens and then they will
mint state IP, which means that they are accruing all the stake and reward fees while helping the story blockchain be more decentralized.
And more importantly, they get they get a stake IP token, which is liquid, it's transferable, and they and it's accruing in value every second.
So it's what we bring to the table for the story ecosystem.
But we want to do more, right?
And in doing more is funding and
supporting founders in the story ecosystem,
especially founders that are launching AI projects, right?
And with this, I think it's important for people to understand
why is story investing in AI agents and why it's a critical component to the story
ecosystem. If you want to dive into a little bit of the opportunities for developers in this ecosystem,
Morgan, go right ahead. Yeah, thanks a lot. So maybe let me start with why story is
So maybe let me start with why Tori is investing in AI agents.
So at our blockchain, we are focused on the intellectual property.
You might ask, how is this relevant to AI agents and AI engineers?
So if you look at AWS Web2, currently there are a lot of companies building language models,
doing various things. Some are generating a lot of text. Some are generating images or generating videos.
But generally, how these things are built is that they learn
from a lot of text that they found on the internet or learn
from a lot of pictures or videos that they found on the
internet.
And from that perspective, the text that they read, the
images they download and train their models with, the videos
that they reference onto YouTube,
these are all creations that somebody else has made, and they're intellectual property.
And so, the images and text that are intellectual property, so are the models that are created,
because we thought about how to build together this powerful model that learns from knowledge.
And then the things they create are all original work.
So those are the things that we're looking for from here
as well.
Now, for AI agents, AI agents are
a form of general AI model measures.
They spit out tags and pictures.
The AI agents are now being trained to read it.
And so they are able to create their own outputs.
They're able to do functions.
And so it's an evolution of the AI development trend
that we are seeing in web 2 and 3.
And so that's why, sorry, it's because there's
AI agents in the first place. And the agents are not from the perspective, not only just limited to creating certain stuff or certain users. We look at not just AI, but also entertainment IP,
patterns and copyrights, big secret,
all IP that are valuable as well.
And the AI agents, if you are a functional AI agent that does
some sort of digital security, typically
you are creating and interacting with other IPs
where you are interested in images,
maybe utilizing for that function
that's by other, you know, because of the book.
And so the AI agents focus on not just specific
to someone creating an AI agent,
but it's also with an AI agent, you do that.
Are you interested with other AI agents?
So maybe a payment AI agent can be interacting with a bank AI
agent, so you can do payment to payment
at a more algorithmic level.
And so the permutations of AI agents can be used.
It's quite broad.
And if all of these come out to storage,
we can see a lot of the use cases,
and also the financialization of the story, we see a lot of them use cases. And also the financialization of the story.
And therefore, that is something that Sorry is
getting into here.
And to cover the second point that Claudia
was talking about, opportunities for developers
in the ecosystem.
So at the base level, Sorry offers always offers, in our Discord channel,
the support for the tech.
Tori has created what we call the Agent TCI GIT protocol,
which is a technical layer for defining
how AI interacts with each other.
And this was already done a few months back.
The Luna AI agent did a handshake deal
with one of our DeFi agents that does swapping activity.
And so these AI agent interactions,
cross-pollination of code and interactions,
are all doable on the story.
At the third layer, we provide technical support
to developers on how you integrate and interact
with the agents.
We also provide how you guys own AI agents
and intellectual property.
But going further than just the tech support,
if the AI agent has traction in the space that it is used,
on Story, you can have an AI agent
that is used on all the different blockchains.
We are focused on the AI agent, not necessarily
asking AI agents to only focus on the blockchains.
But if the AI agent itself has a lot of utility,
the IP is valuable.
The Story team, folks like myself, our marketing team,
our developer team, will work more closely
with the developers that have shown some early traction.
And so you don't just get developer support.
You get ecosystem support, marketing support.
So the full gamut of what a product
would need to go to further height.
So these are the opportunities that
are available
for developers if you are developing
in the AI agents based on story.
Thank you very much, my friend.
So you heard it directly from the story.
IP5 master.
Now a very important thing here just and and and just be
mindful of this right at building AI agents is right now
there's a lot of information out there, but I think Morgan
touched on a very important topic here is go to the
Discord. You've got support there from community members. You've got core team members
there as well. Always be very, very, very careful. Please if somebody DMs you a link, do not link
click on it please. Story team has been doing a very good job at keeping away the spammers,
scammers, and grifters there, but just be careful
other guys and gals. Now very important on the AI side, right? So there's support,
right? And that's why we're here. So we're launching the grants program and
it's important for people and folks right now to understand what are the
categories we're gonna be funding. Most importantly is why are we funding it?
We are core believers in what IP wants to do,
which is allowing people to monetize
their intellectual property to their protocol, right?
So I would advise everybody to go in.
They just recently launched the dashboard,
getting to get familiar with it,
try to understand how the dynamics,
the process work. If you have any doubts,
go to their Discord again.
We're going to be supporting small projects up to $5,000,
medium projects up to $10,000,
and large projects with $20,000.
How do we signal small, medium, and large projects with $20,000, right? How do we signal small, medium, and large?
Well, it all depends on the amount of users you have
or the amount of IP you want your agents
to be tokenizing as well or leveraging.
So it all depends, right?
But just very important,
first find out how to build on top of story,
go to their Discord and get
more information there.
Understand that the grants program is going to be running for quite a bit of time, so
you still have time, so there's no deadline at the moment.
Go to, and we will share more information here and start to pin it on the spaces.
But more importantly, the reason why Metapool is doing this is that we are bullish on founders
on story ecosystem.
So that's the first and foremost.
Now the key evaluation criteria for selecting the project, again, is we want people that
are serious about building on story.
You will have to demonstrate that you have built something before in the story protocol so be very very mindful that we're not going to be funding projects
that are just ideas right we want people to come to us with a demo or something
that is that is at the initial stages of being built but you have to come in with
something so so just just be mindful of that. Also very important
is everything is on the documentation page for the MPDOW grants program. I will not go
into deep dive into it because we want to really leverage that Morgan is here. I'm going
to make some, start to ask some questions to him. But more importantly, evaluation criteria.
Yes, we believe in solo founders.
We have no problem with that,
but it takes a village to build
on top of blockchain technology.
So make sure you have a team in place.
You have people that are at least somewhat experts
in the different areas, such as agents,
agents interaction.
The UX UI is critical, right?
If you're going to be building something on top of X,
or if it's going to be built on top of a Telegram bot
or whatever, make sure that you demonstrate that you
have good expertise in it.
By now, most folks have already have a lot of experience here
and a lot of documentation has already been done.
So another important thing here is, yes, it's open to everybody.
So basically you can apply if you're in any part of the world.
You have connections to the internet and you're solid with that.
Again, being in story protocol blockchain is important.
And so at the end of the day,
demonstration that are proof that you were the builder in this ecosystem is critical.
Now, do submit on time. That's another important factor here.
Look at the deadlines and please just don't submit last minute.
That's just going to be taken.
We're going to have very little opportunity to review the project.
We really want to get to know each and every one of the founding teams and
team members so we know we're backing a solid team.
So those are some of the good tips for,
from me to you, the builders and the project leaders
on this basis.
Now, for those of you that want to interact
with the Senior Pool, Senior Pool is our AI mascot.
Play around with it.
Make sure that you get some nice tips
from Senior Pool as well.
So that's a little bit of alpha.
Senior Fool has some good nuggets there
to allow your team to be a successful candidate.
Now, going to a little bit of a piggybacking here
on Morgan's expertise, right?
You've seen quite a bit of a project.
But tell us a little bit, how do you
envision the future of AI agents, right? And this is agents running on top of story., how do you envision the future of AI agents, right?
And this is agents running on top of story and how do you envision them going further
in monetizing IP and what are some of the lessons learned on the what not to do as well?
Morgan, you want to share with us a little bit about that?
Sure. Happy to do so.
The AI agent is pretty interesting.
I think in the last couple of months,
they're having a lot of speculated tree interest
in just tokens of AI agents.
But most of the agents didn't really have a lot of utility.
And towards the end of that hype cycle for AI agents, there was a new
generation of AI agents that were being built which focused 60 to 80% on what it could do
in the future. So I think the trend for AI agent builders is in the next part of the AI agent development cycle
where everyone is going with the technology, the first wave, cause of the argument, but
the tech side is usually not nearly as well developed as the height behind it.
But I feel like when the next phase of the maturation
will see a lot of AI agents come back, but more utility-based.
And so I think towards the end of last year,
we started seeing, for example, DeFi AI agents that
abstract away all your transaction
of protocols in your speech raiser
when it comes to interacting with actors,
equipping protocols, let me go home.
We saw some AI agents that became decent marketers
via the way they penetrate talent groups,
physical groups, and create content
and interact with users.
So I think in the next iteration,
there will be deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, create content and interact with users. So I think in the next iteration,
there will be these types of AI agent
responsibility will be considered
a minimum needed to be a viable AI agent.
And I think further from that, there
will be this concept of agent swaps,
which means you have one agent doing one function, maybe
like creating and managing a wallet.
You may have another agent that does transaction approval
swaps because it's using natural language.
Maybe you have an AI agent from, let's say,
a stablecoin company that allows you to interact
with the stablecoin missing key main functions.
So these AI agents will just work with each other because
of all specialized functions and all. So the wallet AI agent talks with the DeFi AI agent to take your money
from the wallet and swap it into IP. And all you're doing is typing and swap your DC for IP, something like this.
And so I think the future of AI agents in the next part, when it comes back and
becomes the focus for crypto and even at large is AI agents that are multifunction.
And they will start to capture, I think, the other thing is utility and value at different levels.
So a lot of, for example, the agents that I described
are very convenient options.
You don't want to learn 24-word C-trace.
You don't want to understand the difference between approving
or fixed amounts of un-limited approvals.
You don't want to learn about gas for swapping.
And an AI agent that does is a convenience sector.
So I think a lot of AI agents will
capture some levels of value for convenience.
So they swap in like a mask for that convenience
they're paying quite a lot of fee.
And then there are some other types of AI agents
that you can work with IP.
One of the projects that we're working on
is technically creating a video for you as a person.
So you can upload your voice, you
upload the picture of your face, you
give it maybe 30 to 60 seconds of view
showing how you move your face and stuff like that. It is able to create an AI KOL version of you.
And so that is another form of entertainment IT.
But if AI is a basic entertainment,
it's a different way to interact with an AI model of a person.
So those start to monetize the utility
from creating entertainment value for people.
And so we are also seeing some of these already being built.
Some of the ones in Web2, that Dari is speaking to,
are actually quite advanced.
I was quite surprised to see some of these AI agents
actually behave almost, I would say,
believable as an Instagram or a TikTok
URL.
So these, I think, are further developed
than what people might realize.
And so AI agents in the future would
like to be very full featured, work with each other,
and hopefully detail their own story.
Thank you very much my friend. Yeah, I think one also one important criteria that I missed out from the MPDAL grant program is we want to support IP IP5 growth in the ecosystem, right?
And of course, leveraging our liquid-sinking token is going to be an important factor in
this.
We believe that an accruing value asset is something that is very much on tap right now
for AI agents, and that's something we do really want to push and explore.
So just take that into consideration as well.
Just a little bit of FYI there.
So let's continue with this one.
At the end of the day, how can builders integrate AI agents into story?
Like what's the, give us just one, you gave us a couple of examples right now.
Maybe for some of the folks here that are just getting started, maybe that
might be a daunting task.
What would be something that you should, you would recommend for them to get
started, just to get their feet wet and start to loosen up and more importantly,
and start to loosen up and more importantly,
like get them, yeah, get those initial movements
into the AI agents or I'm gonna backtrack here a little bit.
Sorry about it.
I'm just mind boggling right now.
So at the end of the day, the ask builders, what's the hello world that you
would advise folks to build first in order for them to get their feet wet into building
AI agents on storage? Morgan.
Yeah, no, first I would describe in a more distant future, very much more complicated. I think as a person who's starting out in AI agents,
go to one of the established frameworks
for launching an AI agent.
Like you have the LN models.
They have all the different SDK API calls
that you need to make for the files of the AI
agents.
And these are quite out of the box kind of development.
So try to just deploy something that's fairly generic.
Maybe it's like a marketing agent that calls on to go
to Twitter, just tweet a few things on content that you see.
And you don't really need to adjust too many things.
Once you're done with that, and you
have a somewhat functioning AI agent,
I think the first thing is to just try and get some users
to be interested in what you build,
and to register that once you have some early traction
of storage and intellectual property.
Because you can always upgrade the AI agent later.
You can find people to build with you.
They may want to license your AI agent
and do other things.
So start small.
Use something that's already established.
It doesn't have to be groundbreaking in order
for people to use it.
Sometimes it's just, it works, and you
are out there speaking with the community, letting them try.
So if possible, register in the memory and try it out.
That's the first step to do.
Thank you very much, my friend.
Always appreciate getting it down to the lower level.
More importantly for folks who just
kind of loosen up, right, and start to explore and to figure out what's the next big step from their vision point of view.
Okay, so I think we got some good time right now to open up for AMA.
One of the important things that we want to just stand out is at the end of the day,
it is something that AI has been around for quite a bit of time, but it's now very, very
accessible for everybody to get in front of the prompt, get in front of the P- getting from the BTIC, you have there's a lot of other tooling around that you can play
and start to figure out what's the next bounce of the ball. I want to open up this to for community
AMA. If there's any questions, folks, please raise your hands. We will bring you up on stage.
Please do be mindful, be respectful to these speakers.
Everybody's here trying to help out builders. Let's try to make the best use of everyone's time
here. So if you want to raise your hand and you want to come up, please do so. And glad to share
the mic with you. So go right ahead folks, gals and folks, don't be shy.
No takers?
Okay, no worries. No worries. Let's get this thing moving forward. So Morgan, one important thing here, and I think we haven't touched base a little bit, there seen a lot of AI agents getting to the, how can I say, like the most used
and most shared, how can I say, asset on the internet, which is music, right?
And I know Story did a good push on tokenizing
some lyrics and some songs from some well-known artists.
We haven't seen, have you seen anything around
AI just playing with music or the creation
of music assets out on story?
Yeah, so I think there are the early innings of this. One of the AI agent coins that first launched
on story was the character around AI music creation. And so that that AI agent is called Solo AI. And so I think that's a very early
iteration of this. But right now, most of the AI agents we've seen are mostly around marketing.
And I think that's because in the two or three months AI agent cycle, what has mostly resonated with audiences
are things that go on Twitter a lot,
that becomes very visible, like the AI SDK,
and hosting a lot of Twitter news.
So the music stuff has just begun.
And I think at this rate of cycle
needs to get built to be a bit more interactive.
Because music is an IP asset that is mostly around, you know, the fact that people like
it because it evokes emotional responses.
But an AI agent that interacts with music now hasn't yet quite created, you know, a
level of product around the music that has quite reached a level of general, you know,
acceptance by the audience. And so I do think this is being experimented on. There are projects
on story that are thinking of how do I utilize AI in music in a better way. But I do think
this space is promising but still quite early.
And we're helping some of the builders
think of ideas on how to scale that as well.
Thank you very much, my friend.
Yes, I think music is one of the biggest assets out there.
And of course, there's also the next one, I think music is one of the biggest assets out there. And of course, there's the next one I would say is gaming.
Gaming, I believe, is another important one there.
And also, if anybody here knows of some good AI projects
or some AI use cases
that they would like to share, please do so.
Come up on stage and just raise your hand.
If also you have any questions, please do so as well.
Right now we have some, one of the greats is here.
And so make sure you pay him and pick his brain.
Morgan is a very, very bright person.
So definitely we're really glad to have you here.
So now on top of AI, right?
I think there's still some very good on top of markets.
I believe that right now, for example,
one of the important things around information
around cities I think that's something pretty much on tap right now that
nobody's kind of looking into and I believe that that's something that can
really provide a lot of value for end users. Of course monetization is
a little bit difficult. Most of the information out there that is accessible
through open data sets available could be something really keen to look into.
Have you seen anything around crowdsource information around city, around maybe transportation,
maybe air quality, traffic?
Have you seen anything around those areas being built, Morgan?
So my knowledge of this is, you know, around those areas are a little bit more limited.
I've seen these in web two to some extent.
Web three, I think there are some protocols
in the deep in space experimenting with AI as part of their physical infrastructure,
but none that I've seen come out as an AI agent specifically.
So I think my knowledge on this is somewhat more superficial,
especially when it comes to the web-free area of this.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking the other day, right?
It's like most of the people, like for example, ask Sidi
and ask Alexa, right, or Gemini, hey,
like they ask a question about weather,
they ask questions about traffic,
and they believe that there is nothing around the AI
just tapping into this data set, right?
I think there's some very good low hanging fruit
where I believe people can really benefit from this.
And it's been quite a bit of time since we've seen,
I think the implosion a few years back,
more than two decades in the Web 2.0 era,
where people were tapping into Google Maps and putting geographic information or geodata
on top of a social layer as well.
I believe right now AI agents can really abstract all of that and put it in on the palms there of the user's hand, right?
And so from my point of view, I think that's a very, very, very good on top market. It is a very
difficult one, right? Because getting and crushing all that information takes a little bit of time
and consumes well time and resources, right? I don't know how cheap that would be, but anyhow, something
to look into.
So we're coming up short on this basis.
I do want to give you, Borgen, a little bit of time
for you to explain what are the next steps regarding story.
What are some of the hot things coming up the rank?
If there's any alpha you can share by all means, do so.
If not, what's the next step in the roadmap for story?
Sure, and thank you for that.
So I think for everyone here today,
one of the things that we are,
I think that is very relevant
and Sorie is focusing on in the next one to two months
is demonstrating the value and use cases of registering
IP on Sorie.
So how it works on Sorie is when you register an IP on Sorie,
you are the owner, and you are capable of issuing licenses on chain
which are also defensible in web 2 because there's a legal
contextual version of this but on web 3 you are able to issue licenses so that other people can license your
registered
IP asset and so
if you think of it as a tree, at the top of the tree there is the original
IP asset that at the top you can license to like 20 people, those 20 people can each license
to another 5 people. So it becomes like a very large tree of IPs if your original IP
is a very interesting one that people want to use. Now, from storage perspective, while the packets definitely are very powerful,
we do want to demonstrate to the community and
builders like themselves the value of doing so.
And so in the next one to two months,
storage will be focused on encouraging and
demonstrating the use cases of registry.
And hopefully, as AI agent builders,
we hope to have worked with you and to have you register
in IP in a way that's interesting so that we can find
ways to incentivize that for other users to look
into what you've built and to lighten up your work
to build something even more interesting that other people can
interact with.
And for the creators of these original IP assets, the benefit to you is, let's say you
set a royalty for the use of your IP.
You are IP number one.
You are the original AI agent. If let's say 20 of them license your rights on this IP,
and let's say you just charge your very friendly guy,
you charge 1% royalty rate.
And these 20 AI agents are all making their own revenue
streams because they leverage your tech stack,
and they focus on distribution.
They are very successful in getting users to use it.
The royalties will all flow out to you.
And if they license themselves to other third-party
developers, and those developers also
are very successful in their deployment of their IP
intellectual property.
The third layer of IP owners who are paying the second layer,
who are the guys who are directly licensing for Root,
still have to pass on their revenue to you,
because you are the Root IP that has enabled
the fourth, the fifth layer.
So one of the things that Saurion wants to demonstrate
is an original IP creator, one in which,
in the case of our discussion, might be an AI agent,
can actually earn revenue from a lot of different sources,
so as long people are interested in licenses
and see the value of what you've built as an IT owner.
So this will be coming up.
And I think this is very good for builders,
because you don't just get to leverage
the efforts of your own efforts.
And maybe you have to issue a token for that to capture value.
If you have built something that is
useful to the development community, to the users at large,
then you are able to earn off the extended efforts of others
by basically simplifying their efforts.
Because now they don't have to do what you have done.
You are simplifying their work for them.
And so this is very interesting.
I feel like it's something I'll be personally helping
to design as well.
But builders in the space, this sounds interesting to you,
something interesting that you think the whole world would
like to use.
And you want that to be out there, work with us,
register, and we'll try to demonstrate
how other people will license your product
and that you can earn a revenue off it.
Perfect. Perfect, perfect.
Thank you very much.
So just one, a little bit of housekeeping.
So the deadline to submit for the MPDAL grant
since March 28th.
So we still got some time for you folks and NGALs
to submit your proposals for this grants program. We will be
evaluating and then the community will also, medical community will also be voting for it.
So be on the lookout for that. Really, really excited about supporting each and every one of
you in this, in your journey to building on top of story. Also Morgan, one thing, are there any grants program
up from the Story Foundation that are gonna be setting up
in the near future?
Is that something that is gonna be at hand
and offered to the ecosystem builders?
Yes, of course.
So we have specific focus areas.
We are always looking for good builders that are building their products and protocols
in a way that users will use.
And so we have an existing, and I think we are also redesigning a new method of incentivization to help builders quickly acquire users once they've proven
some initial traction.
So there will be incentives and grants available to builders that touch on the main narrative
points and the things that story is building.
So yeah, we look forward to working with you.
Please do approach us,
whether me directly or in our Discord groups, where our call members also are available to
talk about this. Perfect. And also folks that are in Korea in April, Biddle.ai is going to be
happening there. Story is going to be part of the different protocols at hand
in that event.
So if you want to meet in real life,
do put Biddle AI on your map.
I think it's April 14 to the 17.
If I don't recall, I'm going to try to look for it
and pin it here in the spaces for you guys and gals to look into it and sign up
if you're in Southeast Asia.
Well, Northeast Asia, I was reminded the other time
that Korea is way up north and not in the south.
So anyhow, don't blame my geographics on it.
But more so than anything,
again, happy to support builders.
Looking forward to what the Story team is cooking.
Definitely some really great things are happening.
Morgan, again, thank you very much for your time.
Again, connect with Morgan and the Story team on
X and also go into their Discord as well.
We have our Discord for Metapool as well.
We're going to be supporting folks there for the MPDow grants program.
And also for folks, just a little bit of housekeeping here.
We have a very cool scholarship that we're pushing forward in collaboration with the University
of Zurich. This is a three-week course where we are going to be supporting builders to
go directly and participate at the University of Zurich Blockchain Center deep dive into
blockchain course. This is a summer course program so be on the lookout
for that. Really exciting. If you can pin that Francisco over in the x-paces, I'm pinning
right now the one for the MPDow brands program as well so folks can get the link to the
Google Doc and I am getting the other one for the UCH one but I'm not seeing
it very clear right now so if you can help me there Francisco I'll surely
appreciate it if not we also have build the series where we're talking as well.
Going to ping that for folks that are in Indonesia, in Vietnam, in Thailand as well.
So again, focusing a lot on the supporting builders in Asia.
But anyhow, again, thank you very much for your time. And any last remarks before we go out?
Morgan?
Sorry, I couldn't hear the last one.
Any words before we go out?
Any last remarks?
Anything you'd like to mention before we wrap up?
Yeah, just a quick one.
So yeah, thank you everyone for attending.
And please do apply for the
grant. We look forward to seeing you guys work with Metapool and we will work with closely with the
team as well to give you whatever support that you need. So thanks a lot for coming today, really appreciate it.
Thank you very much folks. I pinned there a couple of things before you wrap up.
If you have IP tokens, go to Metapool, stake them. You're supporting Story Become More
Decentralized. You're supporting the Grants Program. Again, everything that we're doing,
we're doing it for the community, building, building, building, and launching. That's
what we're all about.
Thank you very much everybody.
Up until next time, it was great having you here, Morgan.
Looking forward to seeing you and hopefully in Korea soon.
Stay safe folks and until next time.
Thanks, Claudia.
Thanks everyone.
Have a good day.
Cheers everybody.
Have a good night.
Cheers.
