. Thank you. . Hi GM everyone.
Hope you can hear us well.
All speakers just request the mic.
We'll give it a little minute uh let some people show up but request
the mic i'll turn you on straight away . Thank you. . Thank you. . Thank you. guys is this live again is this back on i just had major technicals and everything
just crashed and shut me down is this everyone can hear me and this is live, right?
Yeah, forgive, forgive that.
A similar thing happened last week, actually, but it didn't allow me to come into the exact same space.
I had to actually boot another one up.
So I will I will look into this um be it the
second week so forgive but if all speakers could request your mics and yeah we just kick it straight
off but sorry for the technicals so i know uh sky labs sky labs you've got your mic. Just the other speakers, when you're ready.
I hope everyone can hear me all right, and we can sort of kick this off. Thank you. . Thank you. Okay, just double checking everyone can hear again and would you test your mics please testing testing testing testing perfect
hi your 420 so yeah without further ado um we're just waiting for colt bears lou and glimmer apes to request
mics but they could be doing something so i think we just jump straight into it if that's all right
guys um in no particular order as well obviously this is more of a sort of like a light space.
It's not anything heavy. It's more of a just get together, talk NFTs, no specifics in questions.
And, you know, just share some views, what it is that everybody's doing, what you're interested in and what you'd like to see happen with communities and other projects perhaps some integrations into the future so without further ado for those that don't know
my name's zero i'm representing dot sama hub today and yeah just stoked to have so many good nft
projects here because i remember looking back not a lot of people understood or knew what NFTs were just a little while ago, you know, and it's amazing how far I think the space has come in such a short space of time.
So I'm very excited to see what happens going forward.
So, yeah, without further ado, whoever wants to speak first.
Yeah, please take the mic, introduce yourself, your project and what you're looking forward to.
I nominate Glimmer Apes to speak first as one of the OG NFT.
Hello everyone, first of all I'm Mr. Tin, I'm the co-founder of Glimmer Apes NFT.
Thank you, Star Digents, for inviting us to speak. And thank you, .summerhub, for having us
on this space and organizing these events. So a little bit about Glimmer apes. So we were the first DAO created on Moonbeam, basically.
We launched in January 2022 a collection of 1001 pixel art NFTs of apes and we quickly self-organized as a DAO launched our own token and decided to
create a second collection called Glimmer Jungle that we launched in April last year
and that collection of NFT is now playable in a game that is directed, if you want, by the community. So the holders of Glimmer Apes, the members of DAO,
they vote to decide what are the rules of the games,
what sort of new features we need to implement or to be working on.
And so that game is called The Great Escape
and it's been running since last August.
And we are now about to launch the V2 in about a month. That would be on
mobile. All right, but enough about us. Let's hear about the other projects maybe as well.
That's so neat. Thanks, GlamourApes. I did not know the community was dictating the trajectory and the path. That's awesome.
I'm part of the council at Astor DGens.
Astor DGens is a 10K collection launched in late February last year.
We just celebrated our one year.
We are the first major collection.
And you could say DAO as well, a NASTAR network.
It took us a bit to form.
We structured it within the community, and it's sort of now grown into a council that's elected every six months.
Everyone starts from scratch, renominates themselves or nominates others.
renominates themselves or nominates others.
And we have a treasury that's sort of,
its engine is DApp Staking,
one of the features on Astar.
So we receive inflation rewards from the Astar network
and our stakers as well receive rewards
for staking on us and for holding the NFT.
So this fits into our financial motive at the DAO because we grow our
treasury and we invest in projects throughout the ecosystem and sort of bootstrap them,
especially at their beginning. We invest in seed rounds as well and continuously look for new opportunities to do that.
We also are now sort of in,
we also have tribes that are focused in different areas of the DAO,
sort of like a marketing tribe, creative tribe, and so on, an ideas tribe.
So we're constantly structuring and developing within the community there's no real hierarchy again there's just the council which deals with
small monetary management and as in the who who runs the the dfstaking who manages the the rewards
and delivers the transactions and so on and then also we just deal with the smaller
choices and proposals but the bigger proposals are put on snapshot where we have every community
member vote with the amount of nfts they own and to our to our pleasure you, we don't have any whales. I think the Out of the 10k collection the holder with the most NFTs I think is around 150 170 Astor DGents
In overall, I think the average
2500 holders has about five DGents. So it's nice to have a good spread
Yeah, that's AstorDjams in a nutshell.
OK, maybe I can continue?
Thank you very much. It's so nice to be here. Thank you, DotS can go for it. No problem. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Thank you, DotSamaHub, for inviting me.
I really appreciate what you are doing
for our Porco.com community.
So for those who don't know me,
and people usually call me just Lou,
So I think everyone here should know Kodadot,
but we are an NFT marketplace in Kusama ecosystem.
And so we are working as an open source team.
So for example, if you are a developer,
you can just join our GitHub.
You can see like every issue there
and you can just solve issue and get rewarded for it.
My main tasks in Coda.org are, well, I can say that I'm a contact person for artists.
So, for example, if any new collection want to collaborate with us or maybe some artists have questions,
I'm the one who is dealing with all the stuff regarding this.
I'm also responsible for organizing some of our events.
We are three people doing that.
But yeah, last year was pretty busy because we organize a lot of events.
But feel free to contact me if you need anything related to Coda.
Or have any other questions.
As I said, last year was busy for us. We implemented Basilisk. That took some time. We had a lot of issues that we had
issues that we had to solve, but at the end, everything was working. So we brought new features
to Codadot like royalties and offer making. Also, our goal for this year is to become out like royalties and offer making.
Also, our goal for this year is to become something like multi-chain marketplace in Polkadot ecosystem
or maybe something like OpenSea for Polkadot
because we will be implementing other chains.
Right now, we are currently working on Remark 2.
We don't have a set date when it will be out. But for example, if you're interested to come and test beta, you can just contact me
because we are already working on this. And of course, there will be also implementation of EVM
collections with ASTAR, but about that maybe some other time and yeah we were also
busy last year because we opened
co-work space in Slovenia Bled
I think one of the biggest
I don't know if you were there but it's
really nice beautiful nature it's a really nice, beautiful nature.
and in the middle of the lake is church
so it's really like a fairy tale.
And this space is open to all Web3 projects
so if you are interested in building
or maybe have some team retreats or meetups all that tree project in the Polkadot. So if you are interested in building on, you know,
or, you know, maybe have some team retreats or meetups
or maybe just individual visit,
you're free to just contact us
and we can get something together and work on something.
And maybe a little bit unofficial,
but we will be also hosting a hackathon there.
It will be in May, starting in April till May.
But we will be having, we will be posting some news
So I think you will be able to find more info about it.
So yeah, that's shortly from me.
from me I can just send my to another person thank you
I can just send Mike to another person.
okay my name is Kevin most of you know me as 420 Kusama I am a small artist
with a few collections we started on a singular with our generation one
collection but that was last year.
And after that, we decided to make a new collection.
Sweets of Sama helped me with that, to make better arts with the same style and the same NFTs.
That was also on Singular.
After that, we went looking for another opportunity.
So we saw a tweet from Donny, and they started with Rare Sama.
And now we have a new collection there.
It's called 420 Buttheads.
It's also made to our suite of Sama.
She did a great job with that.
It's 150 NFTs. It's 150 Rare. also made to our uh sweet of sama she did a great job with that it's uh on the 50 nfts it's uh on
the 50 rare and the rest is uh common and uh yeah we keep building we keep uh making new arts
it's always related and uh yeah that's uh it's short
Yeah, no, nobody speaks right
Yes, sorry, I usually just circle around, let everybody speak without the interruption,
but yeah, please, please go ahead.
Yeah, so then let me introduce Skylab Corporation NFT project.
I'm Sali, I'm the co-founder of Skylab Corporation NFT project, and Skylab Corporation is a NFT project built by Akin Gertmanli,
who is a supervisor for FX Studio in building movies for nine years.
He has worked on movies like The Avengers, Doctor Strange,
and like Fantastic Beasts.
And like there's a big list of AAA movies he worked on.
And we launched the project a year ago,
around a year ago, with the incubators,
where we had on Remark sold 3D incubators.
And with the help of Team Tricky and Sage,
and currently we released
the latest is the GTIs, which you can turn
your Raven into fire or ice. If you guys saw those and yeah, currently we're just building
the community and I would give the next speaker if they want to talk.
Hey everyone, my name is Tom and I'm the founder of ColdBears.
We are building an upcoming cross-chain NFT ecosystem on Moonbeam in Asta.
And we use an NFT collection to bootstrap the initial liquidity to build this ecosystem. So 1,000 bears will be on Moonbeam and 1,000 bears on Asta. And we have five different
rarities and each one will be completely unique. Every single bear was created one by one.
Every single bear was created one by one.
And 70% of our mint will be used to fund our DAO treasury,
which will be used for future investments and also the development of our project.
And the first product that we want to release is an NFT marketplace called Kult Markets.
And there we want to illustrate new cross-chain use cases for
different NFTs initially on Moonbeam and Asta and along the way also on other chains
which can be added via governance from the community. So we will also function as a DAO
with 2000 NFTs and later we want to also add a utility and governance token,
which will also be a cross-chain token called HONEY.
And then we will have like a two-step governance system
where every NFT holder can make proposals.
And then we have like the vote of all NFT holders
and later of all token holders to confirm all important
decisions and directly for mint 70% will go to the treasury and this will also be verifiable
by the contract and then for the marketplace fees we will use one percent to buy bear-carny tokens and to distribute them among NFT and token holders, 1% will
go to the treasury and 0.5% will go to the forest council.
So the forest council is basically functions as the council of our project and can be elected
by the community. And so the Forest Council will manage the DAO funds and will contribute to the
overall ecosystem and therefore 0.5%
will go to all members that applied to the Forest Council and
became nominated. Yeah so that is basically
a big high level overview of what we want to build.
And then we also want to build a cross-chain PlayTM game.
A part of our royalties will be used to buy back NFTs and to add to the rewards pool on a regular basis.
Yeah, so that's it for now, I would say.
All right, I'm just going to jump in.
I just wanted, I saw the space this morning.
Thank you so much for putting this on.
but a lowly NFTftd gen so i figured
i'd come up here and i i just gotta say rams when you said the thing about the spread most people
have five and i have one star dgen i just feel like i now i have mad fomo like i need more dgens
but um no seriously i just want to say thank you so much to everybody who's in here, first and foremost, because I see a ton of friendly faces.
And, you know, I think I own pretty much like at least one piece from almost every single one of these collections.
If I don't yet, I'll probably have to circle back around and make sure I get some.
I still love picking up 420 Kusam.
It was just randomly I'll see him tweet something and I'm like, oh, I don't have this one.
I'll just go buy one on Singular.
So, you know, I just, I really love this space.
I really love our ecosystem.
You know, I know this is just kind of like a chill hangout thing.
So as you guys probably know, I am a big Kusama Kingdom holder, big Buddies holder.
I'm also been, I guess, kind of on the team now for buddies because
I'm the one who's writing the lore for the comic
I know we just did the AMA
probably went a little too happy with all the
will say this it's like an alter ego
overtakes my body when I get all amped up about
So just if you guys are coming to the AMA later today,
just be ready for some just insanity because it's going to be that way.
If you guys didn't see too,
just to kind of give you a little hint,
we released a short teaser video about the buddy verse.
So if you guys haven't seen that tweet from the account that went out
probably about an hour ago,
you could check it out. We're trying not to drop too many hints at once because you know we can't have everybody just go absolutely lose their minds because of all the bullishness
but um yeah i just wanted to come up and say hey and and just introduce myself for those of you
who don't know me and if you guys have any questions about kusama kingdom or buddies
or any other nft that i hold i'm glad to just hang out and chat with you guys have any questions about Kusama Kingdom or buddies or any other NFT that I hold, I'm glad to just hang out and chat with you guys.
Dude, you're making me laugh.
I've actually got an injury.
It's hurting to laugh in the background, so you have to forgive.
Yeah, literally stoked every single word that come out of your mouth.
I can feel synergies with you on a different level. Yeah, yeah, dude, happy to give you the mic. So please, if you want to jump in and share anything and obviously ask any questions or whatnot, please feel free. I can see out there who are obviously heavy in the space and been around a long time.
Just request the mic if you want to jump in the conversation.
I mean, as Funky said, it's just an easy conversation.
We're just talking about NFTs and what we think going forward.
Regarding Buddies, there's quite a lot of information I've got to look into regarding them
because there's a lot of hype around it and I like what I've seen regarding them. Also Kusama Kingdom obviously been around a long time
so yeah definitely know who they are. Love everything that's coming out of the ecosystem
as yourself and I think having community members like yourself just come in and speak so openly is
it makes it warm and inviting and as well with so many great
projects that are here speaking you know you got uh linda from codadot and i think one of the things
that she mentioned with subwork bled is absolutely amazing and i would literally recommend everyone
to go to their website and actually look into what it is that they're doing,
because there's no one doing that, and nobody's actually got a building set up
that's just openly allowing anyone to come here and learn and, you know, just build with them.
I think this is exactly what we need, and it's basically what the hub's for, you know?
exactly what we need and it's basically what the hub's for you know so yeah if there's there's there's
no real script for it here today but i love every single one of these projects and some of you we've
been lucky to been blessed and obviously airdropped by some of you as well so obviously the hub's more
than grateful and everything the hub owns is obviously here for the community as well so if we hold those nfts you can
use them for your pfp you can grab them and go and use it play the game take some funds from the game
hopefully purchase your own nfts and go about building your own portfolio and that's truly what
the hub's for so yeah i don't really have any specific questions. So if there's any people that
want to sort of cross chain and cross reference, then let's see XCM them the
conversation, right? Let's go XCM. So anyone just take the mic and please you
have to forgive because of my injury. I'm not sort of like so in my breath and so
and so in the conversation
in the conversation. So forgive that sort of like time in my voice.
to forgive that sort of lag time
Shiny D we're waiting for you that's a good call I'm over to Varysol. Come on, Varysol. Come on, Tiny D.
Yeah, just request your mic, dude.
We're switching on straight away.
And I'm just going to apologize to Mr.
Because I do not play Glimmer Apes enough.
And I also want to give a shout-out to Mitch because I really, it's him who, I have a Glimmer Ape, I have a couple different, I have some chimps and a gorilla.
i started working full-time for lucky friday back in the fall a lot of stuff has just kind of falls
and fallen to the wayside like where i was gming every day and like every single server it was
crazy and i just couldn't keep up like i had like my work duties obviously take a lot of time
but glimmer apes i just want to say this um if you guys haven't had a chance to check out that
game it is a ton of fun like i suck at playing with a keyboard i
have no business i hardly play video games anymore um i'm basically playing carnage i mean i'm still
a total noob after well over a year of minecraft um because i can't play with a dang keyboard and
mitch is was very patient tried to show me how to like map it to a controller and all this other
stuff but the game is a really a lot of fun and i'm going to try to make sure i'm playing one a
day to keep the bear away as you were saying because it was like it was just a great tagline
and um it's a really it's a lot of fun the game is very easy to play you guys did a great job and
also they're not here but i also want to give a shout out to canary network agency the cna group
um because they the alpha game has come out if you guys haven't had a chance to play the alpha
release it is so much fun again i just get my ass whipped because like i literally i've played like they the alpha game has come out if you guys haven't had a chance to play the alpha release
it is so much fun again i just get my ass whipped because like i literally i've played like two or
three times and i'm dead within five seconds like it's not even a contest for anybody who even just
steps into the pvp arena with me because i just get destroyed because i can't play with a keyboard
but anyhow uh shiny get up here man and um, yeah, just love everybody in this room right now. So much love to everybody.
Yeah. I'll just say, actually,
I see the clips the other day regarding the Canary network agency.
It looks absolutely wicked as well.
It does look like one of those sort of addictive games and the same shoe with
glimmer. I mean, we were lucky enough, Mr. Ting, give us an airdrop.
I just haven't because of the injury I've received. I haven't had a chance chance to actually get to it and it's obviously why the hub's lacking a little bit
of content but we do what we can right um so yeah i'll also state a yuna um for those that don't
know who's in this group a yuna's battle mugs absolutely brilliant um nfts graphics the forging
i think absolutely everything about it is brilliant and
i actually look forward to the the actual game going forward when you can actually fight and
stuff so i think it's going to be brilliant and possibly on board a lot of people into
dot sama just via game and i think it's a major thing. It's also what I love about the Moonsama team. So I'm just as eager to hear what you lot have stated.
I haven't kind of wanted to hear Shiny speak, but if anybody else wants to sort of jump on and share anything, then please do.
I wanted just to ask, does anyone here know when Canary Network Agency game will be out?
If Shani is busy, I will take the mic for a second.
I just wanted to thank you, Juan, for your nice words.
And I just wanted to share as well one important thing is that for those of you who find it sometimes hard,
you know, because you're busy with life or with some issues,
that we are really happy to be able to release the mobile version of the game.
And we are working on a gasless solution as well.
So basically, in about a month of time, maybe five weeks tops,
it's going to become very, very easy to play the game
because you won't have to wait for the transactions anymore.
We are really trying to make that as seamless as possible.
And this is also the sort of game that I believe is
quite good to be adapted on mobile because you can just play two minutes
like if you're going somewhere in the metro or
at the back of a taxi for example. So hopefully
now we're going to remove this barrier of having a physical
laptop or a computer to play.
Putting things on mobile should make it a lot easier for everyone to access the game.
That sounds awesome. I can't wait.
And I'm going to also say this just to kind of back up what Mr. Tin was saying.
There's really no excuse on my part.
To play one game will take you just a couple minutes, if that, because I stink at video games in general.
So it doesn't take all that long to play the Glimmer Jungle game.
And so I'm going to make a concerted effort to try and play one a day moving forward.
And Lou, you had started to ask a question about CNA.
I was just wondering if anyone here knows when the game will be out for everyone,
because I also saw that video where, I don't know who was that, but there were two people just shooting at themselves, and I found it really hilarious. And I really wanted to try it because that's one of the projects
But we're still waiting for a final game.
So if anyone knows anything about it when it will be out,
I will be very happy to know.
So if you have even just one CNA agent,
you can play the alpha game.
So just if you're in the Discord, there's a special channel.
And if you already have the agent role, you can basically do the play test.
I will tell you there's some intense smack talk that happens because I've seen it just in the chat.
But it's, I guess, all part of the fun, right?
So yes, if you guys have an agent, and I said this right before the Alpha game launched, people were paper handing some of the CNA agents for less than mint.
And I will tell you, as someone who knows the rarities, there were some really great looking birds up there for dirt cheap.
But I'm going to pass it off to Shiny because I know he's here.
Thanks for coming up, man.
Yo, what's up, fam? Can you hear me okay?
Okay, okay. Okay. up, stop. Stop with the emotes. You're blasting my dopamine. I can't focus.
There's too much fucking dopamine.
There's too much love in this room. Look at all... Shout-outs to the Glimmer Ape. Shout-outs to
and stuff. You're a fucking legend.
Look at all these legends in this group, man.
You guys know I'm big supporters of a bunch
I love all of your communities, the Chaos Dow.
I've done giveaways for Canary Agents.
I also bought a ton of them on Mint, so I haven't tried the game yet.
I have sinned, but the game looks sick as fuck.
Glimmerapes, you guys know I'm a big supporter of that.
I don't have a lot to say.
You guys got me too excited, dude
I don't know what to say someone chime in
Give us the lowdown on rare samba what's happening over there the marketplace the moon samba is everything we want to know we want to connect
Why you gonna put me on the spot like that?
I've been doing five MEO DMT in Tulum
I don't even know who i am let alone
what's going on in the marketplace i just saw god the other day dude i'm still integrating
too funny how's she doing
yeah i don't know i don't i don't have any alpha. I'm just here for vibes and support today.
I'm like an emotional support dog right now.
That's it. You guys say something.
You guys bring the alpha and I'll go,
fuck yeah, dude, let's go.
That's how this is going to go today, just so you know.
Shiny, tell us about the Pirates game.
About which game, the Pirates?
The Pirates is cool, but I'm not really here to shill anything.
I'm here to just kind of like, I really want to learn about your projects.
I'm always shilling things all the time.
You know, I'm always speaking, I'm always talking,
and we got two ears and one mouth.
So for me, it's really, I didn't know I was going to come up and speak today.
I'm honored for the support.
I'm honored to be up here.
And I'm just happy to really support a bunch of these projects
because you guys have all really supported me.
So I'm not really here to show anything.
I'm just here to support you guys
because I fucking love you guys.
You know, my videos wouldn't get any traction.
I wouldn't have any of my minute amount of success and traction with all these incredible projects and these incredible people.
So today I'm here to just really support you guys and whatever you want to do and just say I fucking love all of you guys.
I appreciate all of you guys.
And I'm looking so forward to whatever you guys have in the making.
I'm happy to support and help any way I can.
I appreciate the fuck out of you, and that's what this is this is just a big family and there's so
much love and there's so much creativity and there's so much alpha and i'm stoked you guys
this is the most of most i've ever seen in the twitter spaces let's fucking go
yeah to you again another good entry another good deejone in dotsama you know like
why would you not want to be a part of this ecosystem it's just it's amazing you know um
that literally hurt my chest you're making me laugh too much dude but yeah i think everyone's
equally honored um everybody compliments each other and that's the great part of this ecosystem,
I believe. So yeah, without further ado, I think sometimes it is good to also let others speak.
But yeah, no, you're more than welcome, Shiny. Please jump in any space, jump in the group,
share anything, ask anything. That's what it's all about. So yeah, I couldn't,
you can't really out word something
like that right is same as funky it's just it's the best intros you could do you can't outdo it
so just fucking enjoy it yeah so please somebody else speak i want to give shiny a little bit more
love because he's been given love unconditionally out on his timeline like every single day so
i've been seeing some tweets that i've really vibed with like where he says something about
you know the people who put smiles on the faces of strangers who make magic in your life or you
know like i really i'm someone who's all about loving everybody or trying my best right like
that's just where i come from. And Shiny dropped this amazing message
that if you guys are in his Regens HQ,
I hardly ever go on Telegram.
I largely loathe Telegram
and I make no bones about that.
like I've been going in there,
checking in because I joined his group a while back,
but he put this awesome message
and he's got this big long mala on and he's just sitting in like a lotus posture.
And he's just giving this radiating love.
And the smile on his face is just so genuine, so authentic, so just gracious.
And watching this video, I had to immediately respond to him this morning because I just happened to check in and I saw this and it was such a great message. So I'm just happy that Shiny's here
and he's really just putting a lot of love out there. And I just want to give that man his due
because I really appreciate you, brother. I know that you and I have talked and connected on many
different occasions, but I'm happy that you're here. And just I agree what you're saying about just this community, right?
Like everybody is so supportive of one another.
Everybody is so, you know, just accepting, welcoming, gracious.
And it's one of the reasons why I absolutely love the Polka Dot community.
And it's just full of great people top to bottom.
Oh, dude, bro. Oh, man, I got goosebumps all up and down my body. I'm feeling
so much love from you guys. You know, I've had a tough life, not as tough as some, but there's
been some trials and tribulations and adversity. And recently I've gone through a breakup and a
lot of things have kind of been taken from my life.
And I was experiencing a lot of darkness.
And then I did this 5-MeO DMT ceremony on Tuesday.
And I set the intention to just release this trauma and release all this pain and sorrow and find love and happiness and forgiveness.
And I've just been radiating this incredible positivity.
And I just want to share that with the world.
So I'm so happy. You know, I make those videos sometimes and I make posts. to share that with the world so I'm so happy
you know I make those videos sometimes and I make posts I don't know if anyone's going to see it
but it's like that quote from Gandhi you just want to be the change in the world you want to see and
whatever vibration you put out into the universe that's the vibration that's going to come back to
you so I just I'm I'm almost speechless bro I have like my whole body, the hairs on my arms are standing up. I have goosebumps.
I did not expect to get this much love and I didn't even expect anyone to really see that video.
That was just something. We put out love in the world because we want the world to be love,
not because we want love to come back to us. But the byproduct of being love is that you attract love and thank you brother i appreciate the
shit out of you man i love all of you guys let's fucking grow let's go fuck yeah
i want to chime in here just a little bit because i think we're all alluding to
like a certain fact that we're all sort of laying down the foundation of NFT projects and most importantly, communities.
And some of us have been doing this for over a year plus.
And now we're seeing, you know,
these connections forming and have been forming.
I know with Skylabs, Corp and AstridGens,
we sort of set a relationship really early on last year when after our mint.
And, you know, we connect every once in a while.
It's like, hey, what are you up to?
Let's collab on something.
Let's do a little giveaway.
And that sort of vibe and relationship just keeps, you know, connecting us and making a stronger bond.
And I think that is super special, especially because we're on the,
you know, just the beginning of Polkadot and Kusama, in a sense, even though we know they've
been building for a long time. And I think we've all seen our share of NFT projects come and go,
a few little rugs here on every chain when they first got started. I mean, that's part of the
nature of the space we work and live and play
in but right now we could definitely see that the love that's spreading around and and all because
of you know a lot of it because of this tangible ownership that we have with nfts and community um
and i think all of us just like uh funky was saying was saying, he's an owner of almost every NFT, you know, to a certain degree,
And I think all of us, too, are part of many other communities,
even if we don't partake in the Discord or Telegram much.
Myself, including, you know, felt really special holding an XO
for the first time and, like, have that connection there no matter what.
And it's nice because we're all family.
We're all in this together.
We're all trying to spread the tech that is Kusama and Polkadot to others, and hopefully they'll see it one day.
But regardless, this foundation, this base that we're forming is super special.
regardless, this foundation, this base that we're forming is super special.
I want to just open invite to everyone to connect with us in any capacity,
whether it's just like what .sama Hub is doing right now,
holding a space for NFT super space, which is much needed.
And I think it's perfect and really speaks to the fact that Xero, you and your idea,
it's beautiful, creating this hub for all these communities as well,
not just on the NFT side, but also on the educational side as well.
So I'm looking forward to many more of these,
giving updates, connecting, and just spreading the love.
Yeah, I much appreciate that.
And yeah, how could somebody not want to build a hub
I mean, look in the crowd.
You can just jump on the call and have people jump on
and be so happy to be around.
So how could you not want to sort of build a hub for that
and be a part of that, you know, I think.
And having a hub, like you said, with having so many projects and teams
and having to track everything, I think that having a hub
where people are a part of and it has all the information
of all those projects, it also makes it easier for those
that can't manage to keep up to date with everything else as well. So as you know, most teams here are actually part of the hub as well.
So yeah, I'm honored to actually be a part of it and help usher it going forward, you know,
evolution. And like you said, we are the foundation. So yeah, let's build.
I can also agree with ASTAR and Deegan's.
We were early on doing a lot of things together,
like collabs and everything.
The ASTAR and Deegan's community is always very heartwarming,
very welcoming to everybody.
So I would definitely emphasize everyone to check them definitely out.
They are doing all cool stuff.
And yeah, so generally the whole community, if you look at it,
is basically irresponsible of the NFT project.
It's always the same community with always the same faces you see everywhere. Like, for example, like just mentioned this, you own one of each project.
So basically, we're all together, one community, big community.
Basically, also like the ethos of Polkadot, it's not just about one, like everyone is together in this.
And I like this very much. I really think this is very cool.
Thanks, Skylab. I think that's the beauty of this space. It's still small enough to that we all know each other or at least through the grapevine know what's happening in this chain
or that chain or that community. And now we're at a point where we establish, you know,
this core within our own communities and now connecting and outreaching.
And I think that helps a lot too for the next wave of users
and people coming into Polkadot and Kusama
with all the tools that's being delivered, like Remark EVM.
You know, that's going to open up a lot of eyes to a lot of people.
Remark Inc. as well for those communities on Wasm and Solana and Near
coming here with maybe their NFTs,
seeing that they're capable of launching maybe a smaller collection
Now we have sort of this open community that's been here a while
that can educate or introduce to one another,
like, hey, this is a gaming, CNA is a gaming community,
If you want to link up with them, go that way.
If you want to link up with VCs or some kind of financial incentives,
go this way to ask theirDegens and so on.
So I think because we all know each other and are informed, at least to some degree,
we can also help each other and market what we have here on Polkadot,
which is a really open-minded, you know, loving community.
So I think that's going to be the next, just my opinion,
it's going to be like the next wave.
And we have a good approach.
We just have kind of like a good mindset to be accepting of others
and other NFT communities as well.
To be honest, guys, i'm in polka. ecosystem for probably a year right now and uh i found it i found it like really really uh enriching for me because uh we attend a lot of
events and i talk with a lot of project and nft project especially and it's every time i meet someone it's like
the community here is so strong like uh uh even people here some of some of you some of the
project i talked in person uh and i think i will get to know you even more in the next next week's
months and i think that's really really uh really exciting for example the other
day we were in lisbon for some conference and i met marine from gillamere apes and man he was like
so happy to meet people from kodadot so we like really talked all evening we had beers and
it felt like we were friends even before we even seen each other you
know like so I really really appreciate people here because everyone is trying to be helpful
everyone is open to collaborate and everyone is you know like really really friendly so
I'm really happy to be here with you guys thank you yeah i have to agree with everyone i think it is just one of those communities you know and i don't
when there's so many people that sort of as rams put it you know
everybody's sort of like backing each other and helping each other it makes it harder for people
to come and infiltrate the system as well so as he said also with newcomers coming in um it's
somehow like they've got a protection layer um be it with the type of communities that we have and how integrated some of us really are
in projects and communities the only thing I think I'd like to see more of is more collaboration but
again it's something that evolves in time so it's not you know things don't evolve overnight so
I just think through time going forward you know like I don't see any project here that I don't actually believe won't be here in five years time.
And as an investor from an investing background, I know that you shouldn't buy anything you can't hold for five or 10 years.
So it's nice to actually look at so many projects in this space and have that big vision that they go beyond a five or ten year point, you know, that they're actually building something and not just here for a quick money like a lot of teams have been in the past. Punks and Polkadot Evolve since it was built. I practically followed Gavin with two Polkadots.
So, yeah, it's amazing to see what's being built and sort of to zoom out
and go forward and look what's possible a couple of years from now.
And who knows, some of you will probably collaborate on many, many aspects.
There could be something down the pipeline.
You know, it's exciting to see. collaborate on many, many aspects. There could be something down the pipeline.
You know, it's exciting to see.
But I am going to pass the mic because I've just let someone else speak.
I mean, I'll just hop on the mic every time there's dead space for more than a couple seconds because I can just talk.
But, you know, I would love to get some other voices up here.
I see my boy Pablo out there in the audience. I'm just going to – because while I'm just in this mood where I'm just sharing love about all these different people, Pablo is an OG in my mind.
Like he and I first connected right when I came on Twitter.
And so just to kind of give you guys some backstory and context,
I wanted to be a Polkadot ambassador.
So I started investing in Polkadot and investigating it back in the summer of 2020.
I wrote Hutch when he was still with the Web3 Foundation,
this inordinately long email on new year's day of
2021 and he was like what is this wall of words i think and then i realized because i get in
discords and people write like one sentence and don't use punctuation so um but anyhow like pablo
he was pumping out this really cool art like it was just mr kusama and he was putting out this art
and i kept telling him like
man you should really just do the whole nft thing you got so much to offer you got this really cool
style and he did this custom piece for me that i used as my pfp for a long time and had the
reflection of the actual uh kusama canary in the helmet in the field and then it had on like the
shirt logo was the polka dot emblem and it was a really cool pfp
that i wore for a long time early in my polka dot journey and pablo then ended up launching
substranauts and he you know is still putting out there there's pilots that he's dropping
um i own a number of pieces you know substranauts commanders pilots and you know he really cares
about his community and he's just you know a young
special talent he just if you guys weren't seeing it uh just yesterday i happened to catch it he was
streaming making art so he had this setup on twitch where he was and actually i'm going to
give another shout out to somebody else that was in here earlier um he had a setup on twitch where
he was actually like making his art in real time
He minted it and like put it up for auction on Rare Sama.
And so like, it's really cool to see what artists are doing
and how they're using the technology in interesting ways.
And I don't know if he's still in here,
but Mr. Acid was in here from the Acid Pills collection.
And I don't know if you guys know this about him,
And so he does things like
because he's in Buddies he's in Kusama Kingdom you know just like many of us there's so much
crossover between collections and he does a thing on Twitch where he will DJ sets for like a couple
hours so like if you just like house music and stuff like that you want to get your groove on
it's really cool because he'll just like stream it and you can go watch him listen to the music so
the couple times I've caught the streams, I'll just be working.
I'm standing at my desk and I'm just doing stuff,
but I'll have the stream going and I can watch him.
And then it's kind of cool because you can interact
and I'm trying to chat with him on Discord
and I can see him checking his phone and trying to answer me and stuff.
So it's always a good time.
But yeah, there's so many people out here in this audience in particular
just doing so many cool things.
So next, I'm not going to lie, I'm going to put 420 Kusama on there.
We need to have like a – just a Twitch stream of like a smoke out.
It's a little bit awesome, man.
Anyhow, I was just chiming in.
we have actually set a Twitch account
up recently because Twitch is brilliant
for streaming and obviously with the game gaming segment of things, we initially have set up schools like a classroom for the schools in Discord.
But realize you can actually connect everything to it and having the schools is along the lines of what exactly what you've just said this guy has done with uh producing art and
showing people how to actually do it and produce the nft out of the whole thing is sounds like it'd
be perfect for summer school also because it's something we're aiming to do is pop classrooms in
technical non-technical for art for language and anything anyone can truly offer you know because somebody needs to learn
something and somebody knows how to teach that thing so as long as we can sort of get everybody
together and do that I don't see anything failing so I think anything along those lines is brilliant
and even in terms of 420 what you just said you know there's a lot of people that do that as well
so if it brings community again ultimately I think that this is how we create adoption by sort of not
judging those communities and just becoming that one community and helping each other and educating
and just yeah watching over each other you know in every way possible so if there's any things
like that that happen in the future regarding
classes or someone sort of like even just doing something online please share it with a hub
tag us in anything we'll always reshare it as well and more than happy to reshare content from
anyone doesn't always have to be sort of content based specific .sama. It can be way outside of it, way off topic.
And I think that's how we do it ultimately.
Yeah, you're doing a great job with the .sama hub.
It's nice to see all the support from you guys.
Thanks for having us. us was a great honor
i just didn't know if the space was only an hour because 420 sounded like he was getting off.
But I just wanted to say as a reminder, if you guys are around in two hours and 18 minutes at 420 p.m. EST specifically, we are having a buddy's AMA.
And I'm going to tell you right now to quote young gravy, let's get lit
like it's a holiday because I'm going to start this thing off and we're going to kick that into
high gear. And I'm telling you, we're going to be in a good mood. We're going to be having fun.
And so I would love for people to come up and ask questions, but we're going to be sharing a lot of
alpha about what's coming. If you guys didn't see the buddy verse teaser, go check that out.
It's only 30 seconds. Shout out to crypto X, who's just like an amazing meme gift master who just pumps these things out like crazy.
And then, of course, I get all hyped up and I just start spamming AMAs, apparently.
So sorry about that, Rams.
But yeah, just I wanted to thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to come up here and
speak and just kind of share love for so many people in this audience and you know this really
is a special place and I thanks for holding the space and it is really great that you're doing
this especially just kind of like a chill atmosphere where people come up and share
this was really great you know so I hope that Dr. Tomahub will continue this as an initiative but
thank you specifically Zero and I hope you feel better i don't know what happened with your injury but you know you know
never never good to be injured and especially as an older guy takes a long time to heal you know
i'm going to be 48 this year so it uh you know take care do whatever you need to do to rest up
and and hopefully you'll feel 100 real soon yeah god bless you thank you funky

we've got a lot of synergies dude so yeah um would you mind adding the um the link to the
buddies into the conversation here as well for anybody that can't find it um and i would definitely
try to jump in there today.
But yeah, thank you very much, man.
Yeah, I'll grab the link real quick,
and I'll comment so you can put it up in the nest.
Thanks, everybody, again.
I'm going to bounce here in a second.
But yes, reach out for any sort of collaboration marketing.
The council is always happy to incorporate any NFT project
and community, especially some of the OGs here,
to get the word out, just to show everyone what we're all about.
and thank you everyone as well.
You're welcome. Thank you for showing up.
It was a real pleasure to chat
