The edges of the paint.
The edges of the paint. The edges of the paint. The edges of the paint. Thank you. So GMGM everybody and welcome to NFT.
I hope everybody is having an absolutely beautiful Friday.
God knows it was a busy week again in the Monat ecosystem.
I am currently, as always, fighting Twitter.
So bear with me as I try to add everybody to the stage.
No one is seeing my, like, invites.
No one can co-host.
We are right now at complete mercy of Ellen.
If anybody, like, if the space is rugs right now, we are just all rugged because I don't have a co-host at the moment.
We like to live vicariously.
Yeah, don't laugh, everybody.
Like X is a high adrenaline sport at this point.
I don't know about you, but every single time I start the spaces, I feel like it's a life of death situation.
Yeah.
All right.
Ooh. We are slowly getting people to actually accept my speaking invitations um maybe it's actually not on ellen maybe you're all just like very shy
creatures and you need some encouragement at the start it's only when you hear my voice that you're
like oh you know what i'm actually gonna speak but okay i i have some I have some successful victims here KG how are
you doing GM GM good excited to be here once again
and we also have big chog we have jack alpha how are you doing guys? Yo GM everyone.
GM, GM.
GM, GM.
It's all good.
I just had lunch and I'm ready to have my cup of NFT.
Beautiful. Like every Friday.
I am here.
I have not one tea.
I have like three beverages.
This is something I want to explain very briefly whenever I am
working or I'm hosting NFT like one beverage is not enough there is three types of beverages that
must be present there is the hydration drink so it's usually water then there is the caffeine
drink so usually an iced coffee and then there is a fun drink and that's usually like a matcha latte or something it's like you know you gotta gotta really motivate yourself in these hard times
yeah i guess it's it's also up uh it depends on your mood maybe you want a coffee you want
matcha i guess it's nice to have the option to switch. Absolutely.
And okay, okay, I see like more people are successful in joining now.
So bear with us.
We have Jack Alpha here.
What up?
Hey, GM from Tokyo.
I'm like super jet lag right now, but it's all good.
You're giving me energy right now.
Thanks.
Good, good.
And Jack is the co-founder of LootGo. So I'm really, really excited to hear a little bit about the Lootie Mint and everything you guys have in store.
Yeah, so for those that don't know, we are LootGo.
that don't know um we are loot go uh so uh i think yeah k g uh is a recently joined our team as
community manager for for loot go uh we were really lucky to have them help out uh and then
also yuki who's also here uh is one of the co-founders as well uh for those that don't know
uh loot go is a realworld treasure hunt mobile app.
So we're live on iOS and Android.
We're Monad native.
And you can imagine us as if, for those that have played Pokemon Go before,
imagine if Pokemon Go gave out crypto rewards.
That's kind of like how, the best way to visualize what it is.
And so, yeah, like we've've been running these Monad treasure hunts since the testnet began.
We've been working with 70, I think at this point, yeah, over 70 Monad partners.
We give out rewards from the partners and users will just open up our app and walk.
And every thousand steps, they'll get a treasure chest
or they can walk to a treasure chest somewhere
randomly spawned around the player.
So anyone anywhere can play.
We've also worked with like big communities like Bonk.
We're partnered with like Backpack for example. And so yeah, like we're partnered with Backpack, for example.
And so, yeah, we're really excited about this PFP Mint that's coming up next Tuesday.
So I can share more Mint details.
But basically, because we're a GameFi project,
there's a lot of things that we can incorporate from the Monad ecosystem,
and we want to incorporate as many things as possible to really deeply integrate ourselves. So things like
tokens make sense because we give out crypto rewards. So we just launched our Luti token
on net.fun last week. And then now we're launching our PFP collection. And actually, so if you guys are interested
in getting on the guaranteed wait list,
a white list or first come first serve,
if you want to like leave a comment on Karma's post,
I don't know if Karma,
if you want to like indicate like which which post but it was
the post uh about about this nft uh we can randomly select yeah that's that's really great
really gracious of you and like i think people can just comment like in the spaces
so when you look at the spaces like they they like people can basically just as always like
drop any comments whatever. You can drop them
as a comment to the spaces themselves
and that's what the Loot Go team
is going to be looking at. So, pretty excited
that we can give away some
guaranteed spots here.
Yeah, it seems
there's been definitely overwhelming
interest in
this upcoming PFP launch.
I think like definitely,
I definitely attribute it to our amazing partners,
but also our community team, which KG is part of,
and he's been doing like a really, really great job of like
just letting people know and getting the word out.
So yeah, like there's definitely a lot of like special things that we want to give to uh these pfp holders uh one actually yeah maybe
maybe maybe i won't say anything because i'm gonna let uh maybe yuki talk talk about like
like what i can talk about because i also don't want to get in trouble uh with with the team for
for releasing too much alpha i i think because as a canadian i'm too nice and i just i just say everything so just spill all the beans like i'm sure you will not get in trouble
like nft is a very safe space cover the little recording button with your finger and everything's
gonna be just fine yeah it's yeah it's just it's just conversation yeah it's just conversation yeah
nothing's recorded so yeah yeah it's all it's all good it's all good conversation. Yeah, it's just a conversation. Yeah, nothing's recorded. So yeah, it's all good.
But yeah, maybe I can share more information later.
But yeah, just want to say, really excited because I feel like we've been sort of building up to this point,
building on Testnet and working with different partners.
And yeah, I guess we're just really excited for Mainnet and launching this Testnet PFP. But what's even more exciting is I think it's all gearing up to this Mainnet NFT collection that we're launching,
which, yeah, I can maybe share more later.
No, we're fine to chat about it now, I think.
By the way, Slow should have been co-hosting the spaces with me.
I am going to kill him.
I'm going to kill him.
Like 100% this man has overslept again.
Like, 100% this man has overslept again.
He has like, honestly, no one has like a voice that was more made for spaces and podcasts than slow.
It's like so calming and like very even tempered like this.
Like if I spoke this naturally, I would be a female slow.
However, I am not.
But yeah, like he might join us later on. Jack do you mind if I give you like a co-host for now? Sure
yeah yeah no problem. We don't get rugged like Twitter hates me, Ellen hates me, so
we are we don't want to take those chances. Maybe like since we already dove
into Lutgo like I'm just gonna like throw you the question and Yuki,
feel free to like, you know, dive in as well if you want. Why? Like, so you guys have like a
successful product right now. Like there's lots of people playing Loot Go. I played it. It's like
quite fun, honestly. Like, I actually played it lots when I was visiting New York office.
And like, I just absolutely hate like being being
like in the office just a full day. So I would always have like a little walk around the block.
And basically, like it was lots of fun just like walking around Manhattan and collecting chests.
But maybe you could say a little bit like, why do you need a PFP in the first place? Like,
why would a project that's not like just NFT focused in the first place? Like, why would a project that's not like just NFT focused in the first
place, like, why the hell are NFTs a part of your go-to-market strategy? Yeah, I think, I think for,
like, there's a couple of reasons. Like, I think one of them is just that, like,
a lot of people are having a lot of fun playing, playing Loot Go. And like, we want to be able to like create something that they can represent
themselves and their identities around playing Lute Go because Lute Go like so the Lutey is
our mascot Lutey the raccoon and Lutey represents adventure exploration and definitely touching grass and being out there
uh and then also secretly it's actually also a mascot of Toronto which is where I'm from uh and
so and so I've been trying to push the the the raccoon mascot you know as much as I can just as
an homage to uh to to my roots. Secret Canadian agenda, our blockchain what is this? Yeah the
Canadians are actually sneaker than you think.
We're very polite people and very kind,
but we're also very sneaky.
Yeah, so like, yeah, just like a way to, you know,
sort of like connect with and build an identity
around like, you know, going outside, touching grass.
And, you know, cause ultimately like we live
in the real world.
And so like we wanted to build something
that was connecting the real world with OnChain.
And I think like we're one of the few apps that do it.
And it means a lot to us to build something in that space
because like I personally just like really love
exploring neighborhoods.
And a fun fact about me is that I actually run neighborhood tours for my
friends that visit Toronto. So I actually have like itineraries and stuff lined up. But yeah,
so we wanted to create PFPs just so that people can represent that. And then also like just something to give back to active community members as well.
So we are giving a good number of guaranteed whitelist bots to our most active users,
just as a way to, you know, like for them to show off and also like, you know,
feel more connected to the community.
And then ultimately it does actually
um this is this is like oh should i like am i spilling alpha here like the thank goodness you
know yuki can jump in and and and stop me but um yes so so we also want to give like uh the pfp um
as like a as a guaranteed uh guaranteed white list spot for our mainnet NFT collection that we're launching, which is not a PFP,
but it is something to extend the gameplay for Loot Go. Because I know you said you enjoyed
playing Loot Go, collecting treasure chests when you're in New York. And again, you can play
anywhere. And that's one of the beauties of it um but i
think the we wanted to launch this like mainnet uh collection to extend the gameplay to add a little
bit more layer of strategy and and complexity and also uh yeah just to like make it a little bit more
more fun playing um yeah yeah no i think it's like very interesting. Like I always ask this question when projects launch NFTs, I mean, projects that are not like, you know, NFT specific in the first place.
Because we've seen this playbook work very, very well previously for Keito, for Ethos Network. of rewarding like your core group of like evangelists and supporters with like a brand
representing IP design that they can wrap on Twitter that they can use to sort of like further
the brand that has been working pretty well so like I guess like really excited to see how it
will work out for Lutgo and how you guys will you know um like curate that core group of supporters. But it seems like the majority of whitelists
are going to active users who provably love the app,
plus some social activations.
So pretty excited to do that.
And also, I really enjoy how you're very afraid
to disclose anything you're not supposed to.
It seems like there's history here,
and you've like
gotten the props from yuki previously i i'm like i'm like the tom holland uh of luco i don't know
if like i don't know if you guys are aware of the meme but like tom holland the guy who plays like
spider-man in the recent marvel movies is is very well known to spill the beans and like spill too
much so i i'm definitely I'm definitely the weak point,
if you ever want to know Alpha about Luke Go.
Apparently, the funny thing about Tom Holland,
apparently at some point, Marvel literally gave up
trying to make him not leak stuff,
and they just stopped giving him the full script
for any movie he was in.
Oh, that might be a strategy that we might employ next next all hands
meeting of loot go like you will just find you will suddenly figure out that you like not only
are you muted but you can also not hear what everybody else is talking about at certain moments
it's so funny you say that because i actually had connection issues to our team meeting just like 30 minutes ago. Oh, I don't think those were connection issues, Jack.
Okay, okay.
Well, before we destroy the team chemistry
by destroying Yuki's finely woven plan
of disconnecting Jack's internet
whenever team talks about next steps,
I wanted to also like welcome Axe Hunt. Hi Axe and Axe is
working in the community team at Penguin Exchange. So we'd love to hear from you guys and how you are
also like currently kick-starting a campaign that integrates NFTs in some way. Hey Garman,
thank you so much for the invitation. And yeah, unfortunately, like my founder didn't, wasn't able to join the space.
So I will talk to about Pingo Exchange.
So Pingo Exchange is a PIPDX on Monads.
It's been live on the testnet like since day two of the testnet.
And it's a PIPDX like a local local bar like powered by Pete.
And you can just trade like crypto, forex, indices, and also like commodities with a leverage up to 50x.
And the best part is like it's not only for the traders.
Like if you don't know how to trade like me i am so bad at
trading so you can just like deposit mon on the liquidity pool and just earn from like the
traders losses or wins and you also earn like 45 of the protocol of revenue and like we have integrated all the LSTs so far, like we have Kinsu,
Apriori, Magma, and Basslands.
So you can trade using the LSTs.
And not only that, but we have made a lot of improvements since the start of the protocol.
We currently have like 1 billion and 300 million of month volume so far in the testnet.
So it's very encouraging and it motivates us to do a lot of stuff.
Community has grown a lot since the start.
And like we did a campaign, like it was one month ago.
I don't know if you guys checked or participated, but I can see that a lot of members from the Pingo community is here.
So it was like with Shockstar, we just did a big event, like a trading cup, like what traders win, like Shockstar NFT, Whitey Sport,
some month, 2000 USDC, and a lot of rewards. And like just yesterday, we just launched a new campaign.
And it's like a trading cap with more than 10 projects,
NFT projects in partnerships.
And no one was revealed yet.
Like they will be revealed like every two days one by one.
And like the campaign has like more than 300 weekly spots 100 000 mon as rewards and also
2 million and 500 uh pingu token like we recently launched uh on yeah sorry go ahead no no i i just
yeah basically i just wanted to like confirm if i understand it correctly so basically like the
trading competition like who wins? Like
the person with the highest P&L? Yeah. Okay. Gotcha. Gotcha. I have zero chances. I have
zero chances then. I am legendarily bad. I should be put on the exchange as a counter indicator.
Like you counter trade karma, like turn it on as like a, as an option.
karma like turn it on as like a as an option um karma indicator but um no so um basically like
one of the reasons why i wanted to you know like let everybody know on the spaces is because
i not long ago i posted this very big research on like you know which nfts on testnet give you
access to main net mints.
And like overall, that was, I think, one of my best performing tweets. It's pretty clear that everybody's incredibly excited, not to say stressed at this point,
to really secure spots for the main net mints.
Like everybody just wants to be positioned.
And I think I really want to continue highlighting options as to how you guys can, you know,
potentially get all of these whitelists, potentially like get guaranteed spots.
So I'll continue doing so and like continue featuring teams that are creating activations
that just give you more opportunities to do so.
Because I'm sure you will agree with me, Ax, that, you know, for both the Pingu Exchange and for the projects participating, this is like a pretty much like a win-win situation where, you know, they get like a wider distribution to actually like people with good P&L, like verifiably good traders who are very active on chain. So they are more likely to be valuable members of a community.
And, you know, obviously like Pingo Exchange gets like, you know, additional volume, additional visibility.
Like maybe you can tell us a little bit about how you guys arrived at the decision to work with NFT projects. Like what are the advantages?
Yeah, sure.
So first of all, like you have to know, as I have been in the Monad ecosystem
for more than two years now, so I am well established and like know all the, um, leader
of the, the projects because the fun fact in Monad is like most of the community members
are now founders of big protocol, big NFT projects.
big NFT projects and like it's very exciting and yes so we just spotted that this the trend right
And like, it's very exciting.
now in Monad is the NFTs you know like everyone is hyped about NFT you can see a lot of people
bringing Mon or NFT like in OTC but with like ULTC likeCC. So the hype is here for the NFTs. And what we do is, like, we're just looking for the best NFT.
So, like, the Pingwood team has always wanted to reward the community
and also, like, the people that really care about the NFTs, you know?
So it just makes sense, like, to, like, find the best NFT project
and, like, find a situation where everyone wins. So it just makes sense to find the best of the project
and find a situation where everyone wins.
With Shockstar, it was very push-pushing marketing for us
because Shockstar blind us a lot of eyes on Pingu.
And it was a very interesting collaboration.
And like the best part is they were very happy also about the collab
because a lot of new members like joining Jockstar.
And the best part of this kind of collaboration is the win-win, you know.
We win like more volume, more community members,
more eyes on Twitter with the giveaways.
And I think it's important to also do something different.
Monad is well known because everything is being built different.
A lot of Monad projects don't search for chaos or something like that.
Everything is coming from
the community and by the community so it makes sense like to like if a project value the community
uh they will totally like want to do collab with these projects you know like yeah absolutely and
i think i think like what what everybody can learn from the recent activations, like overall, when you look around the community or like even look at the retweets from Monad Eco account, I really love how many projects went the route of, okay, let's see what the community really cares about, which is, you know, like NFTs, like testing new projects.
which is, you know, like NFTs, like testing new projects.
And how can we potentially leverage that to like, you know,
just bring more visibility to what we are building.
So definitely really love this approach.
And maybe you could just like in two sentences,
tell people how they can participate just so it's pretty clear.
Yeah, sure.
So like to participate in the event, like you just have to trade.
And like if you're among the top
leaderboards or like the top 100 of the leaderboards are granted to get some rewards but
not only the traders we are also thinking about the people who are not good at trading but like
want to contribute or trading on the platform so So we also do some random raffles,
so people who traded kind of win.
Everyone has a chance to win.
And you have to create a profile on Pingu
to be qualified and also have a minimum of 100 month volume.
That's actually a really good idea,
because otherwise people are just going to sibil the hell out of it.
Yeah, exactly. That was something very important for us because we don't want farmers in Monad.
We know that Monad is really farm because everyone thinks there will be a huge airdrop.
Yeah, let's not talk about that.
But last question. What is the time frame of a leaderboard because
you're talking about the leaderboard but what's the time frame like a week a month uh so like
the event will be adjusted like how the monad maintenance is going but so far we know that it
will last like for more than one month and we just see like how things happening in monads and how main
it is going to adjust but all I can say is that it will be last for more than
one month gotcha okay so like it's like more of like a rolling leaderboard like
there isn't like a very predetermined timeframe oh the leaderboard is updated
like every 15 minutes you know gotcha well great well
you know like looking forward to the announcements of which nft projects you actually have uh like
you know in store and i'm for sure like i will not be participating simply because like there
is no way i'm actually landing on the board guys but um but i will definitely be looking at which projects participated and now i definitely
want to like remind people of another activation which is currently ongoing and that is have you
claimed your lemons today that is my question um as many of you know they just like actually let
me pin this guys for all of you spikiky Nuts have just joined Lumetera skins.
So I'm going to make sure that I add it here so you can see.
Okay, we have Spiky Nuts and we have Mondana Baddies.
So those are the two new skins that have been added today to Lumetera.
So Lumetera announced last week, I think, or at the beginning of this week, actually,
that they are coming to Monad.
And in advance, like, so before the game actually reopens on Monad, you can start collecting
different skins.
I posted a video about this because I myself, like, struggled for, like, legit five minutes
to understand how to claim anything because instead of clicking
on their lemon on the portal you need to hold like you click and hold your butt like the button
otherwise it won't claim and it took me an embarrassing amount of time to get that so i
just made a video for other people with who are you know challenged like i am um so definitely
check it out like unfortunately like i claimed my lemons
which you can claim every 24 hours before these announcements went live so i'm like a day behind
because they weren't available these two skins but i definitely want them so i'm gonna be i'm
gonna be grabbing them later um you can grab one lemon every 24 hours and they are all soulbound tokens. And in order to
collect the full skin, you need like 30 lemons or something ridiculous. So yeah, that's what I'm
going to be your personal lemon reminder going forward. But yeah, that's actually like, who has
actually tried out the portal already?
Like Finn, I would love to hear from you if you had a chance to look at it yet.
Yeah, first of all, this is my first time ever on NFT space.
I've been lurking.
So thank you for bringing me up.
Yeah.
To be completely honest, I still haven't got time to put my hands on it,
but I'm doing it this weekend.
And I'm so grateful that this is the first time we have Finn on NFT.
This is an absolute honor.
And a shame round for Mike Webb, who is listening and lurking and is refusing to come up
despite me inviting him to speak like 55 times I tried to peer pressure him he completely refused
to be peer pressured whereas Finn very very bravely came up to stage immediately
thank you thank you I think Mike might be handling maybe 10 events at any given time.
So, yeah.
Oh, he came up.
See, see kids, peer pressure works.
You learned it on NFT.
Enough peer pressure.
Yeah.
We don't know, Carmen, that we have like five things going on at the same time.
And I kind of have to balance them. For example, right now I'm like in a Discord on at the same time and I kind of have to balance them.
For example, right now I'm like in a discord call at the same time and I'm doing some other stuff and I'm talking to you.
So that's usually the reason why I don't accept.
Not because I don't want to talk to you guys.
This is such a humble brag and like popular kid type of monologue.
It's like, I'm invited to so many things.
I'm not sure if I'll make it to your party.
But no, I'm obviously joking, Mike.
I really, truly appreciate that you're finding,
you know, a moment to jump on here.
And yeah, like maybe just like before you return
to the Discord call, since we have you here
for a few seconds, like how has your week been?
This is a mixture of NFT updates
from the ecosystem and just
chit-chat today.
Yeah, the week is
amazing, actually. We're doing so much
stuff. We're having fun.
We have events.
We have announcements.
I know it's not exactly
NFT-related.
I mean, it might be, right?
I'm really hyped that we have this like Dune announcement today.
It is huge.
I'm a big fan of Dune.
I'm a big fan of analytics.
It can help us to get like very, very deep insights into what's going on on chain, including
NFTs, including trading NFTs, who's holding them who's hoarding them who's
accumulating this will be very very useful for us in the future and i think you will also really
appreciate all the all the dashboards that community and some builders going to create for us
because it's a bit challenging they use like a scale um uh like uh language uh to get this uh data so it might take
some time uh for people um to actually set up properly all this stuff if they're not very
experienced but you can also use like chat gpd to create simple dashboards so i would i would
be very excited to see all all these like um nfc projects represented as a dashboard. So maybe you, Karma, can create
like a big Monad NFT dashboard that accumulates the data somehow. Maybe it will be useful. I don't
know. I need to think about it, but that would be a very cool idea, I think. Oh, Mike is always
coming in with the best insights. I haven't even thought about the Dune announcement. I haven't digested the announcement yet.
But for everybody listening who, you know, you may have never used Dune Analytics, but
so like a TLDR Karma explainer, there are two like most popular, like independent like
analysis websites where different data analysts can just put together different
dashboards. And that's like Dune Analytics and Flipside. They also deal in data analysis.
And Dune is very popular because it's like an open-ended database. Anybody can create a dashboard
and then independently put it forward. And then you browse them, you can favorite them,
and you can also run
queries on them so even if someone created a dashboard like months ago you can run a query
and make sure that all the data has been updated obviously the quality of the data that you will
see in the dashboard depends heavily on who created it and how and here's where that you
know language sql comes in but overall it's just insanely useful for anybody wanting to do DD on anything.
And because it's independently created, it's, you know, it's using data that's available on chain.
It's not like a project is putting forward their metrics by themselves.
It's something independent that, you know, cannot be tampered with.
So it just helps you, like, make better decisions and research projects better in a very like independent way um so truly truly excited about this too and mike
as always is absolutely killing it with his best insights also mike someone just commented that
your voice is very handsome too so like slow is having competition here i don't know uh to be
honest i hate my own voice.
But I think that's very common for many people when they hear their own voice.
They don't like it for some reason.
And I'm one of these guys who actually don't like my own voice.
Yeah.
I hear your voice as well.
It's okay.
Thank you, Kaz.
We love a mic voice.
No, so apparently we all hear our voices very differently because, I mean, because of the reverberation of like the skull.
So when we speak, like there are like micro vibrations and we hear our voices completely different.
Mike, if it helps you in any way, I also hate my voice and I hate my accent.
I've always been very shy about it, but spaces have helped a lot. But yeah, Chaos, you had your hand up.
Yeah, I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to say, but I think voice is the first thing
you forget from another human. Like if you don't speak with someone or see him like for
months, the first thing you forget about him is his voice,
which is kind of interesting.
I don't know.
I didn't know that.
But is there anyone who actually just hears his own voice on the recording
and goes like, oh my God, that sound, I sound so sexy.
I don't think anyone.
Wait, wait, wait.
I bet that's Benja.
I bet Benja hears himself on space and he's like, man, I killed this. I will bring him up. Wait, wait, wait, I bet that's Benja. I bet Benja hears himself on space and he's like, man, I killed this.
I will bring him up.
Wait, wait, wait.
We can confirm.
We can confirm Benja himself.
We have the man here.
Speak up, Benjanad.
Hello, hello, hello.
Yeah, what's up?
Did you hear what we were speaking about beforehand?
No, no.
What did you say?
Like something about the voices?
Yeah.
Okay, okay, okay.
So Benja, like I have a question.
Since you haven't heard the discussion prior,
when you listen to your own voice on the recording,
like let's say like a spaces has passed and like you replay it, like what do you think about your own voice on the recording, let's say a space has passed and you replay it,
what do you think about your own voice?
I try to afford the replay of spaces as much as possible.
It's actually so cringe to hear yourself talk,
but I think everybody experiences it that way.
So my take is keep watching your own spaces of recordings or whatever and eventually it sounds like less worse, maybe?
Okay, okay. So like I lost. Because see like everybody hates their voice when they hear it.
And I voted like that, like I bet you love your voice when you hear it and apparently i lost so i was trying to
be funny but unfortunately you came up on the stage just in the right time to prove me wrong
thanks benja i think i actually think if there is one person in this world who would love
to hear his own voice that might be morgan freeman i think i think he he he listens to like a documentary or something that he narrates
and goes like man i sound good i killed that oh also you know who else like david i will butcher
his name but david athenborough oh yeah yeah yeah the british guy that narrates all the natural
documentaries like that's just a voice so beautiful and calming.
Like, I cannot imagine him ever hearing himself and he's like,
oh, I hate that.
Exactly.
No way he says that.
But if he does say that, that actually gives everyone hope
that even if you hate your own voice, you can monetize it.
Yep, yep, yep.
At the end of the day, this is a DGEN spaces.
We had to arrive back at monetization somehow.
But actually, Benja, are you at the founder residency yet?
Or is it not yet kicked off?
Yeah, they allow me to go there as of today, but
I'm arriving on Sunday.
If you look at Perrine and his tweets,
I think he loves the place. He told me
he wants to stay here forever. I'm not sure
if that's about the place itself
or more about his family.
I wouldn't... Yeah, I can't
really know. But it looks like...
Knowing Perrineine it's not
really about the space it's not really about the building it's just about the fact that he gets to
torture like founders for like weeks on end and make you all ship that's what gets perine going
oh this makes totally sense now oh man um i'm i'm not happy about it so it's gonna be like a two week of hell
yeah like i remember like you you sorry guys like i know that i'm just circle jerking about
founder residency but this was so funny so parin is like the founder community lead
and he is absolutely famous both within the team and outside it as being just like like for this man shipping
and regular updates is just the only thing that matters and rightfully so he's absolutely fantastic
at giving feedback and like really pushing founders to like go an extra mile but it also
leads to these like really funny situations where like he is just so blunt that it's funny so for example like benja i think you
commented on one of the tweets about residency how like oh i see a gym and then perine immediately
responded this is fake news like no one should be going to the gym you should be shipping only
yeah perine is so blunt like we this session, I believe it was like yesterday.
Somebody told him about this idea and I was like mid-sentence.
Stop, stop, this is bad.
And everybody was so shocked about it.
But I love the directness of his feedback.
It's good.
Yeah, someone like at some point in the New York office,
like, someone called him a bulldog.
Perrine the bulldog because of how, like, how direct he is.
But, okay, okay, okay.
I wish Perrine was here.
I would so bring him up.
He's absolutely amazing at what he does.
Oh, Benjo is too scared.
Okay, like, you're going to get enough Perrine time, don't you worry.
Get you through the ringer.
I completely lost the plot, guys.
I don't know where I was previously with the topics, to be honest.
Someone help!
What did you guys like talk about?
Oh, sorry.
No, I just joined like somewhat later because What did you guys like about? Oh, sorry.
No, I just joined like somewhat later because somebody was a genius to hold like an event
during your spaces.
But what's this NFT space about, by the way?
Honestly, everything and nothing.
We are discussing like updates from the ecosystem.
We had like a quick chat about
loot go and the upcoming looting mint we discussed the pingu exchange trading competition where you
can win nfts and then i started talking about lumitera and that is where we lost the plot
because we started phoning over mike webb's handsome voice yeah okay um okay can I ask a question? Someone rescues the topic.
Okay um I actually have a question for Lugo yeah um I love the app I love the whole interface and
everything but like I want to ask like since I have to put on my location, first off, how safe is it?
Is my location safe?
Because that's one concern.
And two, as a business model, is it going to be an IP?
And what plans do you have to bring in more users? Apart from giving whitelist that testnet,
what other interesting things are you going to be bringing for new and existing and more
coming users? I mean, yeah. All good questions. Jack and Yuki, if you're happy to answer,
we can do a little community question round. Sure, yeah, that sounds good.
I guess maybe I will answer, I guess, in whatever order.
Yeah, I guess I'll just answer in the order you asked.
Yeah, so it is fairly safe because we only ask for your location
only to spawn the loot boxes around the player.
So we actually never store your exact location anywhere.
It is just to spawn the loot boxes that you can randomly,
sorry, randomly spawned around the player, and then you can go pick it up.
And then we do store that you picked up a loot box,
but we never store your live location.
And if you're worried about location,
you could always just, once it's spawned,
just know that we don't store your live location.
So it is fairly safe.
And then the other question about like, like, how do you how to expand beyond,
like beyond, like, Monad and because, yeah, I guess I guess maybe yeah, just like referring
back to, like, I think Karma, you posted, shoot, I'm gonna forget your exact wording,
but you made a post the other day about like, like what's, I don't think you use the word sexy, but it's like, oh, what's what sexy is like, not just the Monette ecosystem.
It's like, how do you go? How do you go beyond it? And so one of the things that we're trying to do is like, we're leaning into this meta that we're seeing a lot, like beyond crypto, which is like like hidden hidden cash uh like hidden cash games
and like real life treasure hunts uh so like there's there's an account that we've been
following it's a london cash catch uh and and very similar accounts uh where they hide like
20 dollars uh somewhere in london uh london england not london ontario uh because london ontario is uh it's it it's a canadian
city i love it uh but it's definitely no one jack literally no one thought you mean london
ontario like no hey hey just for for for the other for the other canadians here just just in case they
think i'm talking about london uh london ontario which is a population of like 5 000 people or something but just just in
case just in case um yeah so so like they'll just like hide like 20 20 pounds in somewhere somewhere
like popular in london they kind of like just like pan the pan the camera like around for a few
seconds and then they make that post uh and then uh they kind of like sit around and wait uh because
as soon as they post it it there's usually about like maybe
like 80 to 90 000 people who uh who view and like the the post uh because it is first come first
serve like you kind of just walk around and you if you find the place you can keep the money uh and
so like that that's that's shown to be like really popular because it's not just london there's like
multiple cities that do it so i i think there is something like very inherently like exciting about being like a pirate and actually finding like, like loot and real money somewhere in the world,
especially like when you kind of play like this, like mini game of like, you know, trying to figure
out where it is. And so like, we want to lean into that, especially because like, I mentioned,
like, you know, because of the way that we're set up, anyone anywhere can play. And so we're not
going to hide physical cash, of course, I mean, we'd love to, but you know, of the way that we're set up anyone anywhere can play uh and so we're not going to hide physical cash of course i mean we'd love to but you know we're just like not that big
yet um but we we will hide like things like uh maybe like clues to open up you know like a cash
prize and we definitely do want to lean into a meta where we can offer eventually offer like
you know like uh headline worthy amounts of uh of to users. So you can win, you know,
big jackpots if you play the game. And I guess like maybe you mentioned like, you know, benefits to
like this upcoming Lutees, PFP Mint. Yeah, like part of it is like getting a guaranteed
whitelist spot for our mainnet collection
that will give you like additional like perks
and help you actually develop some sort of strategy
in the treasure collecting.
Because imagine like, you know,
getting one of the mainnet NFTs and you have earlier access to certain clues or certain like campaigns um but you can also
uh like strategize like you know if you have like one type of uh one type of character or one type
of looty then you know you can uh maybe have like reduced energy uh cool down times or like you know
increase your radius to like collect
so it really depends on like what your gameplay uh type is uh and so oh yuki just respond yuki just
like uh did some emoji responses i'm like oh shoot okay better better look over there just in case
like you know i said something like i don't think there's an angry emoji yeah okay i just checked
there's no angry oh oh yeah sorry there's a thumbs down but there's no like angry face emoji
uh i was just
checking for that in case I say something
controversial to him.
Yeah, like I said, I'm like the Tom Holland
of Luke Go, so I definitely
don't want to spill the beans wherever
possible, but yeah, yeah.
We banish you.
For the lack of alpha, we banish you
to London, Ontario.
Oh, no.
Oh, there's, yeah.
Oh, sorry. I'm pretty excited because, like, I feel, I know this sounds, so when I initially, like, you know, I think you or Yuki showed me that Instagram account where, like, they hide cash around.
And, like, initially I didn't really understand like the appeal because you know,
how does it scale?
It's like one person finds like the 20 or 50 bucks.
But then like when you actually look at the insane reach of that account,
it's like an Instagram account that like started like pretty recently and they
grew like absolute wildfire.
And the reason why I think it works is because people are very nostalgic also
for treasure hunts like geocaching.
I don't know if anybody here that's listening to it has ever done geocaching,
but it's actually like it's a worldwide trend where people,
Like it's a worldwide trend where people, so basically you download like an app and that app shows you geocaches near you.
And all the geocaches are small boxes hidden in plain sight in different cities by other players.
So for example, like any single day that you walk around your city, you're likely going past like hundreds of geocaches and you've never knew this.
And people find super creative ways to hide them.
So, for example, I used to live in Vienna.
And in Vienna, there is a huge opera house.
And there is a very popular geocache like right in front of the opera house.
But there is nothing in front of the opera house.
It's literally just like a concrete like nothing.
And like me and my friend like spent so much time searching for that geocache.
And it turns out that someone just like glued magnets to a little box.
And it was like glued to like one of like the road signs.
And you had to sort of like stand on a trash can and find that box.
Anyhow, sorry, like guys, like this is completely like off topic,
but something I wanted to say is that
I think people really like different,
like just feel like a child.
And obviously no one is going to be like,
oh my God, like 20 bucks is going to change my life.
But that thrill of the chase
and the thrill of the sort of like the hidden box
is a really really
strong like gameplay yeah yeah especially like uh so so like i think as as as crypto people uh
like yuki always points out like as as crypto people um like 20 bucks doesn't seem like a lot
because we're so used to like oh we got a you know like a few thousand airdrop right um and even then
sometimes people complain actually it's funny you say 20 bucks because my friend got a my friend got a
20 airdrop one time and he got so upset and i'm like oh dude it's free money like but he's like
20 dollars like i spent so much time like okay chill man it's 20 bucks um but but like we're
actually also like uh ignoring the fact that a lot of there's there there's a lot of people who play mobile games and real money games, like mobile apps out there in Web 2, that are super excited for earning $3 a month just by playing this game.
But I think what's important is the game has to be at least a little fun.
Otherwise, people will feel like grinding for the $3.
But people are getting excited for like these kind of amounts, right? So I think
we're kind of underestimating like how powerful like even that could be. But I think our ambition
is to give out like something that's like way more like magnitudes higher as jackpots to be even more attractive, right?
Especially to people beyond crypto.
And we think that that is something like that can serve
as a gateway to onboard millions of people onto Monad,
especially because like the game mechanics,
as you mentioned, like Karma,
is like, it's very nostalgic for like
childhood times right like it's it's a treasure hunt game and so um like anybody anywhere can can
immediately grasp regardless of your culture of like oh it's a treasure hunt like i you know open
this app and i go to this box i open and i get rewards of course like the mainnet geo pets
collection will add more a little bit more strategy to it but uh but it really boils down to that and i think like what's what's really cool is that like people i know that are completely
non-crypto um have been playing this game for at least a hundred i think he's on like it's like a
110th day streak of playing loot go and it's because like it's something that can fit into
people's uh daily routines of you know walking like or playing playing on their way to work.
And it's super simple to play.
We create an embedded wallet for people.
Literally, if we didn't explicitly say this was both on Monad or crypto,
people would just think it's a Web2 mobile app.
And I think having this mobile app user experience is really, really important
because people beyond crypto,
like a more comfortable and more familiar with like mobile apps and like playing games that way.
And so that's why we were very conscious about like building it as a mobile game, mobile app,
like day one. And so, yeah, like we think this game mechanic can onboard like lots of people,
both from an incentive perspective but also from a game familiarity perspective.
both from an incentive perspective, but also from a game familiarity perspective.
Yeah. Oh, Yuki, yeah, we also got a feed from Yuki. And a question, something I really would
love for the audience to understand is how different the global distribution is of players.
So obviously, let's not go too deep into it, but it seems like people in APAC
love the treasure hunt even more than the average. And I wonder why that is.
Oh, I think one of the reasons is, especially compared to North America,
the land itself is kind of smaller
like if you imagine like for example tokyo or seoul i think these are like a compact city
compared to like these like if you live in like i don't know toronto like like ed it's harder for
you to reach some places by walking but like if you live in Tokyo, I mean, basically, we're more like train-based commute.
And then we kind of walk to the station
and then take a train and then walk to the office
or something like that.
Basically, walking is really like a part of our life.
I think that's also one reason why walking up
is super popular, especially in Japan and Korea. I think those two also one reason why Walking App is super popular in, especially in Japan
and Korea.
I think those two countries have a really, I mean, not just Web3 or crypto, but even
like more fitness type of apps, like Walking App is very huge in Japan and Korea.
And actually, yeah, to add that part and then to add what I mentioned earlier, but we had a campaign with Bonk last
month, like a Bonk treasure hunt in South Korea.
And it's specifically for South Korean users and it went quite viral and actually like,
and you were planning to have it as a three month campaign, but because it went almost
like 10 max viral than we expected. So we consumed all of the budget in three, four days.
So it was really unexpectedly viral,
but we hit more than 10k download within the first two days.
And actually, the interesting thing is that
most of the download coming from the Korean local
mothers community.
So it's not like they're just crypto people, but it somehow leads to mothers community.
And they are the ones who talk about, like, it seems like there's a way to join Treasure
Hunt and it's earning some money by walking and then they just download it and
then play around it in around korea so i think it's really like a strong power and then i mean
one of the local team in in bunk said these communities like a really like the opposite
side of the crypto people so they they basically don't talk about crypto stuff, but somehow we can reach it because
of this mechanic.
So I think that's the kind of potential of this treasure hunt or geocaching mechanic
that is more easy to attract like more bigger mainstream users.
And I think once we can reach to those people,
it has a lot of chance to build more different type
of business or different type of income.
So I think that is the way for us to make it more sustainable
and bigger and bigger as well as a treasure hunt.
Like, you know,
MacDotters pays to Pokemon Go like 50 cents
for every foot traffic they blowed so i
think that's a very fun fact we could learn a lot yeah no and it's great that you're looking at like
the web 2 types of campaigns to compare them to and not just web 3 like that's how i see loot go
like for me loot go is a really interesting app because it's so crypto-abstructed.
Yeah, the rewards you get can be different meme coins and stuff, but they don't have to just be that.
You could partner with any Web2 app and immediately have a completely Web2 type of user to drive to different areas.
But I honestly to this day think that one of the most exciting quote unquote crypto
apps was actually Stepin. I know like people like, you know, dismiss it nowadays, but Stepin was
genuinely an insane onboarding tool. And people who have never even heard of Bitcoin were so
excited about Stepin and just like using it every single day it was an amazing app
so anything that is just as easy or even easier because with step in you have to like purchase
special shoes um whereas here you literally just down like setting up loot go takes like a minute
because like i remember when i was doing it i was like huh that's it so definitely like super
excited for that and i want to go to benja and to axe next however
before that happens we have a very very special feature that we honor every single week the nft
culture the nft tradition my dears zek comes live for a singular meow, which we will grade. Zach, this stage is yours.
Meow.
Wow.
Well, okay, okay, guys.
This is the best meow yet.
We are so proud of you, Zach.
Two weeks ago, it was a 7 out of 10.
Then it was 7 and a half.
To me, unless anybody on the stage disagrees, this was a very strong eight out of ten we are
incrementally improving zek is shipping more than some teams i know absolute absolute cinema
performance karma i completely disagree we need to summon jangy to show you what
nine out of ten sounds like 10 out of 10 here's well you might have noticed i said
eight out of ten this was an eight out of ten there is still room for improvement yeah that
was weak that was weak the junkie should be here uh next time and show us how it's done i'm sorry
wait wait i i'm actually weirded out so like like, it's not just like, this is not Zach's original bit. Like we, you want, you want to tell me that within the Monad community, we have multiple individuals that have made it a classic of them to be meowing to the extent that everybody knows about this.
it's not just like that we have a
Jungie our community dog
and he's the OG meower
actually yeah
yeah a dog who
meows what can Jungie do
meow
who was that
Mike was that
you no I would never
do that why would I do that
I think it was Mike everybody he's just too shy but Mike was that you? No, I would never do that. Why would I do that?
I think it was Mike everybody. He's just too shy. But Mike, if it had been you, which clearly it wasn't,
I would have given you 8.5 out of 10.
Thank you, Karma. Thank you very much.
Was that with you?
Yes. I've been meowing for years you know just not showing here
well um next week on nft or i mean like i hope it will be no actually wait
shit no next week we have some really really important guests so i can't do a meowing
competition they would kill me i mean i would kill myself like I just can't do that but um maybe in two
weeks or whenever we have like just an open stage again without any big serious big pants guests we
are just literally going to do a meowing competition there is going to be you know like
30 seconds per person to deliver some good meows and then we're gonna vote and at the end of that spaces the final boss of
cat spaces meowing will emerge and we're gonna reward them with some testnet mon is everybody in
at a boy that's what i wanted to hear
okay fantastic no i love you guys this is precisely what I was expecting out of this esteemed panel today.
And now we are gonna go to Benja and then to Axe.
Going back to the actual conversation.
Oh my god, Benja.
Was that you? No, it wasn't me. It was sick, Benja. Was that you?
No, it wasn't me.
It was sick, I think.
It was Benja.
By the way, I'm very confused
because Mike said Jungi, but Jungi's a dog, right?
He can meow.
On Monad, everything is possible, Benja.
Why are you questioning this?
He's a cat dog. What do you mean?
Oh, then I... Never mind, I wanted to say something, but that's not safe for the space. benja why are you questioning this he he's a cat dog what do you mean oh then i okay again never
mind want to say something but that's not safe for the space um let me just uh go back to the
topic and yuki by the way i think i know the reason why like lutko went well in korea because
those people man they are tall they are like one step is like two steps for me so it's easy for them to
like walk to earn you know and by the way fun fact like south korea like um the men there they i mean
not the men also the women they grew like one of the fastest uh in the world like um in terms of
height by the way so it was crazy when i was just in the train and in the subway and then i was like
not the tallest anymore because i was uh before that i was in the train and in the subway and then I was like not the tallest
anymore because I was before that I was in Thailand and I was the tallest there and I went
to South Korea and I was like a midget you know insane actually this is true like I previously
worked for a company that has like had the office in in Korea and like whenever I went there I was
like why is everybody so tall like it's just like
you walk like through the through the through the streets of Gangnam or whatever and like everybody
towers over you it's absolutely insane also everybody in Korea looks like a model like I've
no idea how they do it but okay um we we added to this discussion and to geopolitics of LUTGO, insane amounts of depth here.
Yeah, so going back to my take, I think why LUTGO is also going great in APEC is people
are more susceptible to gambling.
You have Labubus, they are also like a loot box, so LUTGO, they go hand in hand.
So I think you guys have like the right target audience there.
Axe, I think you had your hand up as well.
Yes, it was a question like for Jack and Yuki.
Like, do you have a plan like to onboard more people
like from Web 2 to Web3, like without
the barrier of wallets, something like they don't know that they are earning cryptos,
like you said, like they can earn like $20 per month.
But do you have any idea like how you are going to do that to remove the barrier to
onboard more people to the Web3 and to Monad?
Sorry. No, no, no, no, no.
I think we were just playing a game of like,
oh, who is going to answer?
And then both looking at the screen to see who's unmuting first and then i started laughing uh and then yeah sorry uh
yeah yeah uh yeah so so i guess um yeah so our our intention is definitely to design
uh design to go more for like a like a beyond crypto audience um and so yeah like i think um
a beyond crypto audience um and so yeah like i think um yeah like first of all the experience
yeah it should definitely be like not uh or it should be as as karma mentioned like crypto
abstracted um so like having like these embedded wallets and like you know literally all they have
to do is sign up with their email account because everyone has emails now um and then now you can
immediately uh go play start collecting rewards, and then the rewards
are just deposited into like your embedded wallet. So like, it's like easy peasy, especially from
from a non crypto person perspective. And then, you know, if you also want to like then learn
more about like, maybe if we're working with like an NFT project or like a DeFi project,
you can, we can also become like a really good distribution channel
and referral or affiliates for them as well,
because now we can onboard these people very easily.
Now they can also, you know, like learn more about like the different partners
or like reward partners or sponsors, et cetera.
And yeah, like I think part of it is like definitely
having some sort of like incentives to attract folks, like both financially, but also like more from like a gaming perspective.
So gaming for sure, like we got to make it fun.
Like that's kind of like the bare minimum, because even if something is giving you financial incentives, if it's like a grind, like complete grind, then, you know, like you're going to not get as many people as you think you can.
But I think for us, like the way that we're set up, because we can also target like beyond crypto and like more like Web2 users.
Yeah, Yuki mentioned that McDonald's pays like Pokemon Go 50 cents for every visitor they bring.
50 cents for every visitor they bring. So there's definitely validation for these like gamifying
like IRL marketing and driving foot traffic to physical places. So actually before, fun fact,
but like before Lutgo, we actually worked a lot on location, social and crypto for Japanese
companies actually, for Japanese enterprises.
So these are companies like Japan Airlines, TV Tokyo, Japan Railways,
Tokyo Corporation, which owns like Shibuya 109
and a whole bunch of other like retailers.
So like these are like, I'm always hesitant to say,
but it's like these are like giants in their industry.
And so like, we've worked with like Japanese giants before.
And so we've definitely seen like a lot of like campaigns that we've done for them is, yeah, like driving people to physical locations.
And I think the cool thing is that like, and like, we're kind kind of like i don't want to introduce too many things
because you know it sort of muddle muddles the um you know the simple narrative but to kind of give
you uh like more context and whatnot um is that like uh because like because uh we're on chain
uh and because we're also a um it have embedded wallets uh we can actually provide this end-to-end attribution for marketing
from a B2B perspective. So right now, McDonald's gives Pokemon Go 50 cents for every
person that goes to their location. So they make an assumption that once the user is there at the
McDonald's, they're going to make a purchase and they're going to, you know, like be a customer.
But they don't know for sure, right?
Because Pokemon Go can only say, oh, this person captured this Pokemon at our store and give us 50 cents.
But because like we're on chain, right?
Like you can imagine that, you know, there's some sort of incentive like at this location, like I go get it.
like I go get it, the incentive is inside my embedded wallet. And so because like I have
The incentive is inside my embedded wallet.
actually a quote unquote, a mini portfolio or wallet, like both literally and also like
metaphorically inside the Loot Go app, you can imagine in the future, you can also pay with this
wallet, right, which is Loot Go. And so if you do that, then you can actually attribute like this,
this marketing spend all the way to like how much how much this customer actually spent at the store.
And so I think this actually also solves this sort of last mile marketing attribution problem.
That is a very real problem that companies have right now, is that there's a lot of assumptions and inferences, but there's no like, sorry.
I mean, there is some, right, obviously with different methods to solve,
but it is actually quite hard, hard problem to solve.
So I'm also like very bullish because like now we can also generate revenue
from sort of like these external sources, i.e. like from,
from, from, from businesses providing incentives from businesses providing incentives to users. And so it's not just about revenue
from the users themselves, but there's also revenue coming from external sources, which
I think, of course, is great because now we can give more value back to the players and
the users. Because you can imagine Pokemon Go definitely does not share the 50 cents
with the user when they go pick up a Pokemon.
In fact, they'll say like,
buy more Pokeballs so you can capture more Pokemon.
So, yeah.
Yeah, and I think that's like
the biggest differentiator of crypto apps.
I think obviously like, yeah,
there is always the blockchain component,
but I actually think one of the biggest differentiators is how in crypto it is a part of the go-to market and it is a part of the understood social contract that certain percentage, certain part of the revenue should flow to community.
I genuinely think that's one of the superpowers of crypto and how it connects the audiences of a project
with the actual success of the project itself. It gives you exposure to success of certain like,
you know, new ventures, new startups in ways that Web2 never did and never will be doing.
I guess like the closest that we have is X, right? Like X is definitely not a web-free app.
However, it does have one of the best,
like, you know, creator revenue programs.
Like, I know it's still like, you know,
not absolutely fantastic.
Like, for example, like YouTube impressions
are vastly more valuable and vastly more,
like pay out much, much more per impression than X.
But impressions are easier to get on X.
And content you create has a lower barrier of entry.
But anyhow, before I go on another like karma tangent, sorry guys, just wanted to say that
like that's what I personally see as like the web3 ethos.
Yes, decentralization, but also that this idea of having a stake and having exposure to success
of the apps you are supporting. This entire idea of like community forming before a project is even,
you know, like fully completed or fully live, something like this very, very rarely exists
outside of Web3. And I think that's like the superpower that we have here.
Oh gosh, like this was like really, really a little monologue for everybody.
But I know we are already like,
we are well over the time again.
I just love chatting to you all so much.
Like the NFT is my favorite hour of the week, I swear.
So maybe Yuki or Jack, like maybe you could remind people
what they can do in order to get a whitelist to the Lutie-ment.
Reminder here that we are giving opportunities here, but I cannot explicitly endorse anything.
So do your own due diligence.
And yeah, the mic is yours.
Yeah, no, thanks for that.
And yeah, like I know there are things you cannot do.
So I'll just mention that, yeah,
there's actually for listeners today,
there's like two ways to get a whitelist spot.
So you can either comment in this NFT thread. And so if you comment,
like I'll pick random winners, and then I'll notify you because I think you may not be
dropping your wallets there. But the other way, sorry, I didn't mention this before,
is you can also comment on Finn's reminder to the NFT.
And we'll also pick winners there
because, yeah, Finn also has been
like a really massive supporter of LUTGO.
And I also want to, you know, recognize that.
And so we will also pick some winners
from Finn's message.
And so I guess to be clear,
it's Finn's message about the reminder for the NFT.
So I guess it's kind of meta.
Yeah, like a reminder for the NFT
so that you can get some whitelist spots.
But yeah, those are two ways you can get it.
We're also like running giveaways too,
like from our account.
So if you check out like luco official,
luco underscore official,
and as we're introducing also like our modding community
teams, they'll also be doing some giveaways too.
So if you wanna follow us for sure,
then you'll see any notifications about that.
Woo!
So thank you so much for giving away some of the access.
Everybody, feel free to go and comment.
And I also wanted to make sure we take just a few minutes to shout out some community builders as well.
So, big chog, big chog, I just pinned out your announcement.
So this is something I really want to just like give huge kudos. Like Big Chog has been like collecting different NFT info, different details of different testnet collections and how to get
exposure to main admins and has packaged it all into a really
really nice website so i definitely want to just hear from you like you know how long have you
been building this and what's the new update thank you thank you for the shout out karma uh this is
actually the first time someone binged my tweets like on any space so this is something new for me uh but yeah thank you so the idea behind
this was to like create like a centralized um nft hub where uh you know i can i can provide
newcomers but also existing community members with information about the nft projects that we have
in this uh in this ecosystem and also just you know highlight um like all the team
members which are behind the project uh not just the founders let's say i wanted to like show
everybody um who is building uh you know for a certain project or also you have art sneak peeks
links to magic hidden collections and exactly what you need to do in order to
secure a whitelist for the mainnet.
And that was like v1.
And today I managed to release v2.
So I got a lot of feedback when I released v1.
And actually, Karma also gave me some really good ideas,
which I added.
So right now I also added a custom tier maker.
So basically you can drag and drop projects and you know,
you have the S tier, A tier, B tier and so on.
And then you can just drag and drop project icons and then the
the site generates the image for you and then you can quickly share that on
Twitter so you don't have to like do any photo editing or anything like that it just does it for
you. I also added some badges for project milestones for like some certain amount of followers on X
volume traded and I also added an OG badge for projects that have been building since before
testnet. I thought that was a nice touch to add. A lot of people requested to have like name tags
of the projects in the homepage. Initially, I didn't have that. I just wanted to like let the
art speak and draw in the users. But I realized that maybe it's good to have the name also.
So on desktop, you'll see that it's a hover.
So if you hover the mouse over a banner, you get the name.
On mobile, it's visible because, well, you have to tap the banner
and it would just open the project.
So yeah, and also I added sorting and filtering for projects uh that wasn't there so you can uh
organize them alphabetically or uh in or sort them by volume traded anything you want
so yeah i want to say and oh sorry sorry sorry for interrupting i just want everybody to understand
the this is what we mean when we say like shipping is the most important thing like
you released the v1 of the website i just like you know randomly found it in a tweet i just dropped
you some comments like in the like anybody can go and check these comments out there's just like a
comment yeah we had a discussion days you literally you literally implemented all of it so like pretty
amazing and like pretty incredible.
You don't have any funding.
You haven't raised for a dumb website.
You can just go and do things.
That's literally the biggest takeaway.
You can just build things.
You can just do things.
They can be so helpful and so amazing when you solicit feedback from the community and then implement those changes um yeah just definitely wanted to give you a huge shout out this is clearly taking
a lot of work yeah thank you and yeah obviously there's no funding this started out as a hobby and
actually it started out i don't know i saw i saw a post i don't know who is it was but
i saw a post and then it kind of made me think like what is my actual like tangible contribution
to this uh community and then i always like the nft part of crypto uh so it the idea came naturally
and then i i put this together and i hope uh it will serve a purpose i I do plan to keep on working on it and I do plan to, if everything goes well,
this to turn this into the main go to like NFT information tool for mainnet as well.
So yeah, I'll keep on adding features and working on it to make it better and useful for the community.
Absolute legend.
And like a quick question, are you like an experienced developer or like was this something
that was, you know, like new to you and new for exploration?
Well, I wouldn't call myself an experienced developer.
myself an experienced developer I do have some experience so I used I used cursor AI in order
I do have some experience.
to help me put this thing together I also have some basic knowledge about coding and I can make
some changes and like work with whatever the tool gave me but and it's not the first time I used it
I also put together an iOS game, which I never got to release
because I got busy with other stuff.
So I do have a bit of experience.
But yeah, this is, I don't know, it's something fun for me to do.
I also have a Web2 job and a life, but this is something fun for me to do.
It's like a hobby.
So I was like, yeah, i want to put this thing together and
and hopefully uh leave even a bit of a personal mark on the community that was my that was my plan
this is like really awesome like i really encouraged anybody to you know think in the
same way like i know not all of us are you know developers not all of us can code but like you
can just build things you can just contribute to things. There's so many different ways, like, no matter what your talent is, like, long term success and having fun in Web3 means finding a niche that lets you utilize that talent to contribute.
and even if you don't you know like maybe you don't want to code maybe you don't want to create
graphics you are not an artist you can just get like really amazing at literally giving people
feedback and testing stuff yeah like I guess I don't want to like be too preachy here I just
so many people ask me like week after week like how do I actually get you know how do I get
involved in Monad like how do I get involved in Monad?
Like, how do I get involved in the community? And the answer is always, you go from learning about
it to contributing. And that contributing part can be literally anything you can dream of. There's
so many ways to contribute. And yeah, like, let's, let's continue like highlighting people who just,
you know, find their niche and build something fun.
I am going to go and try it out now.
You just posted it briefly, so I haven't actually tried out the tier list maker.
That's what I'm going to do next.
I'm going to give you some feedback.
Yeah, excited.
Anybody here on this NFT today can just go and check out all the free guests that we
had today. My last big call out to everybody is also if you are building on Monad,
if you follow a team that is building on Monad,
check out the Delta V account on Twitter.
So we are really trying to build a culture of shipping,
of like regular updates and being transparent about progress with the community.
So I would really encourage everybody here. So LootGo, PingoExchange, like, you know,
even you, Big Chok, like anybody who is building anything can start posting weekly updates in
Delta V Twitter threads. And we are actually collecting all of these. We are tweeting out
like a weekly update on shippers in Monad ecosystem. And this are actually collecting all of these. We are tweeting out like a weekly update
on shippers in Monad ecosystem. And this really helps you understand which teams are shipping
week by week and are happy to share that week by week versus just LARPing. So yeah, I guess like a
big warm invite for everybody to go and follow the Delta V account, which is led by the one and only Perrine
that we are all afraid of secretly
and that Benja is going to get enough one-to-one time with.
You're going to come back a changed man,
as will anybody joining the founder residency.
So yeah, absolutely love you guys.
Thank you so much for joining in today's NFT.
I'm giving everybody
now time to unmute and give the kisses and then i'm gonna play a song today every single week
i'm gonna be playing different songs suggested by different community members today we are playing
an absolute anime lover special if you have ever been like a complete anime weeb, you will know this
song. It was the most popular like VM like video like ever a few years ago. So a
blast from the past and for now...
Mwah to everyone! Bye. so欑εδΊεδ½θ©γ»δ½ζ²γ»η·¨ζ² ει³γγ―γη²γζ§γ§γγγγθ¦θ΄γγγγ¨γγγγγΎγγ the one and legendary bad apple Thank you.
