Hey, what's up everyone. Thanks for joining us today. We'll start in a few minutes once we get more people to join us. Meantime, it would be really appreciate if you could retweet it. So more of your friends could join us today here.
Hello again everyone. I guess today is just because of all the dates. Not many people are on their Twitter. So we'll just start. We'll just see a little bit of hope that our people are going to join us today. So let's keep it short today. I know you guys are busy. You've got probably plans with your family and stuff.
So you're not planning to take a lot of your time and again thank you for joining us today here. So today we have the pleasure of having Jenkins in our space. Hey how's it going? Who do we have here? Hi guys it's Chan here. Hey go and good morning. Have you Easter?
Hey, thank you for turning our space and happy holidays too. How's it going? Good, yeah, it's actually Easter Monday here in New York, but we've had a good Easter with the family, busy years with three staff, so it's been a lot
How are you guys? Oh good great. Yeah, it's actually it's tomorrow here - it's so where you guys are based? I'm a New Zealand. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, so it's Easter it's Easter is tomorrow here
So yeah, I guess people are busy like with your family plans and stuff So do you guys want to give us like an introduction about you and then we start like the question? Sure and so
So, Genk started as a PFP collection for our Knights and Pesents project, which is our 3GAME on the Polygon and Harmony Networks. And it's more thing into something very deeply
on centric and very much following my own personal ethos of supporting and helping other people. So the direction that we're going in with Gen K is to become the epicenter for artists and art collectors.
to help promote on the network, on the polygon network and bring artists in to provide value to both polygon, provide value to our holders. And yeah, just to make sure that we stand out in our own way rather than copy pasting what a lot of other people
are doing, we don't want to bring any fake hype or over promises, we want to be the team that delivers and supports and provides value to everybody. So that's our general overview of what we're doing. Sorry about the birds in the background.
No, all good. That's actually funny. Yeah, totally agree with you guys. Yeah, basically that's the same thing that we were planning to do. So as you guys know, we are minting less than 24 hours and what we were we have been focusing on like people like hippie
asking us, okay, what's your plan for after the mint? But we didn't want to like actually really talk about it because we did not want to seem like a project which is trying to get the hype by over promising stuff. You know how it is like projects come and the prior to mint they overpromise they
big ideas try to like get the high for their minting and after they're done it just like they don't like actually end up doing any of them so that's like the main mainly reason that so far we haven't been talking about the plans we have for our after mint so
So just because we didn't want to like steam like a project is taking advantage of the hype. So totally understood what you said there. It's basically the same thing that we are trying to do. So like how many team member teammates you have?
like how big is your team? So there's me, there's my community manager, Redguard. Sorry now I've got the kids in the victim. There's my developer, Hopi. I have a silent partner, Dath from Nights and Pizzants.
And the mod team and we commissioned the art and then I have a I wouldn't call them team but there's a bunch of one of one artists doing one of ones for the collection as well. So that's really cool and exciting and I'm there definitely deserve a shout out there. So it's a pretty small team is really
At the top, there's me and Hopi, the Dev, and that's us. We've also got Red Gato's doing crazy good things for the community and we've got a graphic designer who's happened out a lot as well. He's amazing.
Awesome. So if I got that right you would be the founder right? Yeah, yeah Amazing. So may I ask when did you start like what is your background? So I started in NFTs in early 2021 was mostly a
an ACSE scholarship manager back then. But I got out of ACSE in the middle of the hype because I saw a lot of red flags. I didn't want to be a part of that toxicity or that community anymore. So what I did at the time was I gave all my access to the scholars.
because they their livelihood kind of depended on those axes and the money that I'm getting from the scholarship. So I just gave my NFTs to them and I got out and went to Harmony Network. That's where I became a community manager and moderator in a few
projects before starting nights and peasants, which I'm co-founder of, not the lead founder, but co-founder of nights and peasants. And we've been building since then, we've built with nights and peasants a full
The questing system with crafting over 100 items within the crafting system upgrades, voting platform and NFT trading escrow, a marketplace which has had over 30,000 sales on it. But yeah, we've built a lot with nights and peasants.
but we wanted to remain both remain relevant within the polygon ecosystem right now as well as provide a little bit more experts because screaming in the background a little bit more exposure for us and
And to get our community representing us through PFAS as well. So that's where Genkai came from and it's kind of evolved a lot since then. Genkai has its own roadmap and will be very, very different to Nights and Pesns, but I'm really excited for what we're going to bring.
Yeah, us too. It's also actually funny too. Like all the things you have to deal with in the background.
Oh, sorry, can you hear me?
I think, sorry, I think Twitter is ranking me, so I'm going to drop down and I'll come back up. Of course.
Oh, in the meantime, it's actually nice to see more people are starting to join us and Yeah, I really appreciate you guys joining us today. I know you all have plans probably So we'll just try to keep it short and
Let's go back to the family like the plants you have with your family probably and Happy holidays to everyone I'm waiting for Jyn K to join the game. Okay, amazing. She's up again. Sorry, can you hear us?
Okay, I think our connection is not really well. I think she left again.
so I'm just waiting for her to join again.
Can you hear us now?
All good.
Yeah, don't worry about it. Sorry, I think you cut off in the middle of your speech. So do you want to continue? We did. I cut out.
So you were just like telling us like about your background and then they start like Oh, I actually know yeah, I think I was like saying it's actually funny
with all the things you have to deal with in the background. So my question, the question that I was about to ask was, what made you guys choose polygon?
So the Harmony Bridge hack happened that we needed to find a good ecosystem for our community and we wanted something that was reasonably strong to move to because we didn't want to choose another very small chain which could
could rock us again. So Polygon had a pretty high TVO, it had a good background, it has a great bus diff team, great devs. The gas was really cheap and we were on chain game so we needed to have gas cheap and it was reasonably fast so all of those things put together.
Yeah, that's fair. That's exactly like what made us to mainly focus on polygon too and We are super excited about our mint tomorrow because it just like with the great support we got from this community on a CV or just like over well, we could not
We could not think of any of community better than this. I have not at least me. I haven't seen them community like this. So we are super excited about this and like after or meant it would be only this start for us. So do you have
Again, as I said, I know many people have plans today and again, thank you guys for joining us today, even though you're busy. So I'm trying to keep this short before starting to take questions from audience. Do you have anything else to add about your project, your team, whatever you want to add?
Um, not off the top of my head, sorry.
Sorry, I could not hear you. Could you please come again?
No, nothing else to add right now. Mostly we're just hard focusing on this way creating some
graphics to put together to let everybody know what this new direction is in more depth and detail. So people have an idea of what we're going to be doing going ahead. But yeah, we're really excited for your mint tomorrow.
Thank you so much. Would you... I actually forgot to ask you, would you know if... like, when you will be minting?
We're thinking end of April or beginning of May depending on when the arts ready and how we're doing with marketing.
Yeah, that's fair, that's fair. So can you give us any details about the minting or you just want to keep it until like for the announcements?
So we're doing a 777, wait, 777, 477, 777 collection. We haven't announced the price yet, we're keeping that total closer to the date just to see how the market
guys just keep an eye on it all. And yeah, in November also, that's really the mint details at the moment. We're not sure at this point if we're over-allocating or not, we haven't over-allocated yet, but we'll just see how that goes as well.
That's amazing super excited for your men guys, please join. Twitter, their discord to hear more about them, like they are doing, they have an amazing project they've been around for a while, so I'm sure you don't want to miss this.
So guys, if you guys have any questions about our project or their project, please request you can come here and help. You can come up and talk if you have any questions.
I have a question for you guys. So you've got the... Oh, you know, you didn't really want to talk too much about Utility Beck. Could you tell us some more about what you'll be doing after the month?
Yeah, of course, so thank you for the great question. So the thing is so far we were not talking about our plans we have for After the mint because of the reason that they mentioned however since we since we said that
from the day first our main goal is building a system for borrowing and lending NFTs because at the moment we feel like NFTs are not are kind of like underutilized so borrowing and lending NFTs would building us a new utility to borrow and lend NFTs
with health NFTs to become more utilized. And also it gives the community members to be able to like kind of try like the ecosystem before investing too much on it, you know, by renting NFTs. So,
I know that's obviously it's not going to be easy, however it's not something that we think we wouldn't be able to do. So mainly we will start, we will start to focus on building the utilities that we promised on our
road map. We actually just hired another full-time developer to mainly focus on the utilities that we are planning to build. So for all the community members,
Again, we are super excited about our minting. However, the only reason we are excited about this is just because we don't see this as a mint. We only see it as a start for journey. Thank you for all the support that you have given us so far. We could not do this without you.
It's time for us to give back what you guys just like try to like pay back a little what you did for us. So yeah, in answering your questions or our main focus would be on delivering the utilities that we promised on our roadmap.
So will there be one of ones in your collection? Yeah, of course. And also, also like I forgot to mention, like, to ever utilities were like ready prior to mint, like,
Our our tiki system is which is basically our raffling system has been running since like one month ago almost we already had several like raffling Done on it and also our
entertainment sections our gaming section was launched for the first time about like a month ago too. At the moment we shut it down to update it it will be back and on like in the near future. So basically yeah
We're just like our whole project is about building utilities with a fresh approach and like try to make them more than any way. And that would be our main focus.
Nice. What was your collection size again? That's quite small, isn't it? Yeah, we get that pretty small because we are sharing revenue with our holders. We just wanted to... we had two reasons to keep it small. The first
The first reason we just, this is our first project on Polygon. So we really wanted to show the community members to the new ecosystem that we are not prioritizing money and income in our project and this is mainly to gain their trust
and show them like who we are. And second of all, we wanted to, since we are sharing revenue with our holders, we just decided to, in our head, it made more sense to
share more money with less holders than sharing less money with many holders. So those two were the reasons that we kept our supply pretty low, which is 33333.
Cool, I think that's all my questions.
Awesome, thank you. So if anyone has a question, please just request you can come up and talk. Okay, I guess I got we got our first one.
Shall I talk a little bit more about what we're going to be doing afterment? Sorry. Oh, we got a question. Yeah, I was just like connecting. So, Valentin, it's good to see you.
What's up? What's up? What's up? Hi guys, I actually have two questions and my first question is actually
I see Nummies and Jane and Jane K in collaboration. I actually want to know why did you guys get in collaboration with awards? Did Nummies see in Jane K project and what did Jane K project
see in Nummies that make you guys come together. My second question is actually for Nummies, you know, and we are going to be missing tomorrow is there kind of a support for white lists for the Nummies, you know, just want to know that as well.
Thank you for coming up and asking your questions. Well, no, actually we closed our white lists more or less today actually.
So unfortunately for this collection there would not be any more possibilities to get a white list. And Jane K. D. Neumann answered the other question.
Can you ask it again sir? I didn't really understand it.
What brought us together to do this space?
I'm like, "Hawkson, why did your project come in collaboration with the Nomeys?" And why the Nomeys come in collaboration with Aslan Watts? You do actually say Nomeys that
make you guys so bullish on them to come in collaboration with them. You know, not all projects you see then you just want to come in collaboration with them. You know, so I'm just accent. Why did you guys come in collaboration with the nominees and why the nominees?
that's what you want to come into the DNA project as well.
Well, if I just like get to like see something before you answer, JT. If you're asking like about our color, well, the thing is if you we don't have like any projects together with
I'm not sure if I understood your question right but like we don't have any projects with jenk like at the moment at least but there are like great projects with their with their been around for a while and like they're like pretty good at what they're doing so
Unfortunately, however, we don't have any projects like with them, maybe in future we don't know how, like what actually like happens. But as far as like I'm familiar with their work and project, they are like great.
They have a great approach with doing stuff which is just like kind of unique and basically that would be it. I'm not sure if that answers your question if it doesn't please let me know if I got it wrong.
It's actually answers a part of the question, you know, using the actually a good approach, you know, about the project, you know, I think that's actually part of it, so I would like to hear from Gen K as well.
Yeah, so like Normans were saying we don't have an official collaboration, but you know their builders and the art is really nice. As soon as you saw the art
it was very clean and I think it's quite a premium style of art that has been coming a little bit more to public on these days. And the team is active so yeah flowers to them.
Hello everyone. My question is, my question is, is likely like balancing on like a wing with this project for like
this and I've been grinding for the white list but unfortunately I missed. I want to accept there will be white list opportunity for Janki project as we are late for no means so that's what I want to ask.
Yeah, we can give some wireless spots to normies. I think it might have sent some through, but they can request some more and sub-arrern asking them back through to go through to Discord.
Okay, thank you. Thank you. Great. Thank you so much for coming up and asking your question. Yeah, unfortunately for this vlog, for this collection, we closed the wait list.
However, join your Twitter, like in the future, you're gonna hear more about us. Again, this is the only start for our project. Good guys, nice to see you here too. How are you? Can you hear me?
Thank you so much. How are you?
Hi, I'm good. Thank you. How are you? Yeah, so basically I don't have much questions today.
I'm so sorry, that was made bad. I accidentally needed everyone. What is purple moment? Movement.
Sorry, good guy. I accidentally muted everyone. So do you want to repeat your question, my bad? So, so I don't have much question for Jenkins now because basically I wasn't I. She explained she gave it both explanation on the project and
So I think on further spaces, I'll get some questions for Jessica. But I am not confirmed. For the old heroes, how many how many supports were given to the oldies? So we'll know how many left for the white list.
So you were asking how many spots are left for weightless? How many OGs did you give out? So that would be precisely announced in our Discord, like close to
to the mint, minting date. So if you're on our Discord channel, like probably like within like probably 24 hours, you'll see an announcement regarding that. Like you'll see the exact numbers. Okay. Okay. That's that's all.
Great, thank you so much again for coming up. I know you guys are all busy, you guys all have plans and still we appreciate a lot that you still like came to our space. So does anyone else have a question for either us or JynK project?
Well, I'm okay. We have one person. What is purple movement? Oh, so by purple movement, as you know, like polygon space has been like integrated with the color purple. This is what, but by purple movement,
we meant like the how like polygon is becoming like more common in popular every day and because like a few months ago there were there was barely a project minting on polygon however these days every day there is an amazing project minting on polygon so that's what we meant actually
Okay, we have Ravel, British society. How's it going? How are you guys? Thank you so much for joining us. Yeah, what's up, man? How you doing? Good. How are you? It's great to see you here too. It's good, man. It's good. Appreciate it.

Basically we were trying to like keep prevent like prevent the public of Prevent the thoughts like from like minting our collection in public minting so that was like when
of the main reasons we had to over allocate our wait list. So please check out the announcement about that. That's one thing I wanted to mention at the beginning, but I guess I forgot. Awesome. So is it just one per person?
