Hello, hello, can you guys hear me?
I think I kind of already have the co-host.
I don't know if we need to switch it,
but we have a tight timeline and a lot of stuff to cover,
so feel free to kick it off, yeah.
You said you can hear me, right?
Yeah, I can hear you, great.
Yeah, guys, this is going to be a great event.
it is just such an exciting week um qwack is live um on polygon ckevm this is a really big
uh milestone uh for us and i think for the polygon ecosystem you know qwack is
really reimagining uh the way token economy launches look um putting the community first
building platforms for sustainable growth and really ensuring that you know we're going beyond
just meme coins and really looking at launching products that have uh you know real utility
around them uh real teams that are kind of innovating at the cusp of web 3 while at the same time
uh ensuring maybe that there's some uh you know meme coin mechanisms for growth sort of worked in
there so it's a really cool platform you know go to qacc.giveth.io and uh you can check out things
there i'll make sure we get some posts pinned as we go uh but i'm gonna just uh jump right into
things and we'll go kick things off we've got a great lineup of people here we've got all of the
uh guests uh uh sorry all of the projects rather that are launching on qwack are going to be here
to tell you a little bit about themselves we've got the passport team daniel here uh joining he's going
to be talking a little bit about the passport id solution um and of course we've got the uh qwack
founders as well we've got uh tamra we've got griff we've got um justice of course ivy lots of great
people so it's going to be a great conversation um i guess let's get right into it for those who are
new uh maybe justice or tam or griff or whoever wants to take this on the qwack team just give us
a quick overview of of qwack and and what it is tldr yeah i mean i can i can grab it uh basically qwack
is a new mechanism for uh launching tokens in an ecosystem so uh in this case polygon is sponsoring
and facility is uh giveth to effectively choose and help projects launch tokens in on the polygon zk evm
chain and this sponsorship is huge it is a huge opportunity for the teams it's a huge opportunity
for the community to get in on a like a very active token that can you know have tremendous upside
with a lot of mitigated downside risk you can kind of think of it as like pumped out fun without the
scams i love it pumped out fun without the scams is much needed right now in the industry so good
good to have that um what are you guys most excited for again for the qwack team um maybe justice or tammy
one of you want to jump in here like how are you feeling it's the first week any kind of details
on the first round that kind of stick out for you what are your takeaways right now
am i want to hear i want to hear from you too sure uh we're a couple of days in i think we have
about eight days left the round um ends at the uh on december 20th a friday at 12 pm utc so there's
still a lot of time for people to get in and support uh these projects honestly what i'm
most excited about is the projects um each and every one of them is very unique the the founders
are visionaries in the field that they're working in um and they're so broad and um and across many
different um i would say verticals of the web3 space so the thing that i'm most excited about is
these projects get an amazing token economy uh no upfront cost to them in fact they end up with
you know probably something close to like 100k of value uh with their token economy with secondary
market liquidity on a dex um they um you know they i think it's a great opportunity for these projects
being the you know the the gen zero round uh and i think it's going to be a great opportunity for
future projects as well so i'm most excited about having these uh allowing people in like regular
people like you and me able to support these kinds of amazing uh projects that are going to be uh you
know some of the i i think some of these projects are going to be huge in the next couple of years what
they're doing is really inspiring yeah yeah totally agree with you there um we've got you guys did a really
good job i think of like curating some like just a really high-end group of innovators and people
that are solving real problems and i think starting with that first like looking at people who are
actually building something that's you know a solution to a need right now in the industry is
really important um and again speaks to sort of the longevity of these these projects and and they'll
also be um to my understanding like some of the first projects on polygon zk evm some of the first
projects taking advantage of the ag layer so they're really kind of getting involved in this
ecosystem at a time of growth i think in a time of like opportunity uh for them so that's that's super
cool um one go ahead justice jump right in oh i just want to throw in here real quick like you know
there's been talk over the past a couple years like the degen to re or regen to degen i forget which
direction but the idea of like coming up with something that has benefit to real teams and real
projects and substance but that is powered by people just looking for some upside or whatever
and i think q act does that more than anything that has been invented yet and i'm honestly looking
forward to you know my my personality type entj like makes the perfect villain i think griff said that
i'm looking forward to telling people i told you so because when we message people and tell them like
listen this thing is fire you can come in and like support these teams now and become a part of their
token economy and if you don't listen then when these tokens do get listed on the decks and they're
like oh my gosh i could have got that then i'm just like i told you so we told you you didn't listen so
i'm looking forward to the light bulb moment and to gloat and stuff so that's it a hundred percent a
hundred percent it's like the the idea that we can that people can mint tokens here at we're talking
sub two million dollar market caps uh is insane for these legitimate projects that then i i think what
people really forget people don't really understand how this mechanism works and i just want to like
kind of like throw down a really like a quick explainer of what's happening with this so paul we
polygon sponsored giveth to launch the and the qac program to uh to initialize collateral for these
tokens to be to be to exist on a bonding curve so when there's a bonding curve uh and money goes into
it that makes the price go up that's just how bonding curves work it's uh it's it's kind of it's
smart contract with certain rules and when money goes in uh tokens are issued and the price goes up
for future tokens so so far all the tokens that are being created uh are locked the tokens in qac that
are going to be minted in in the qac program are locked and so there it's going to be one big batch mint
everyone's going to put their money in as well as there's going to be a matching pool on top of it
which gives you an even better uh mint mint rates or a minting price and so everyone's going to get
the same average price for these tokens during the round which it'll start at uh the a very low uh low
rate and it'll go to a much higher rate and it'll you you will get the average right and then at the end
of the round the matching pool is creating liquidity liquidity pools for each token and that's when
liquid tokens hit the market and they hit the market at a much higher uh at a much higher price
than the tokens that are created in the qac round this is how the mechanism works you know there's a lot
of weird stuff that you know when you're yeah when you're creating tokens in this space you're not
supposed to talk about the price but this is uh just the the way the mechanism works so the tokens
will be minted for a lot less pull than they will be available for after the round and because all
these tokens that are created during the qac round are locked the the token the price when it hits the
decks will be much higher than the price right now and when uh when it hits the decks there will be no
tokens available to be sold so that means the price literally cannot go down i know it's crazy to say that
in this crypto space when it's like blah blah of course the price can go down because it's pegged to pull
if peg does if pull goes down the price will go down but effectively uh in in relation to pull
the price cannot go down once it hits the decks and not for six months a price floor is created and
that's where speculators and anyone who wants to can come in without a gitcoin passport without a zkid
they can come in and they can play around and get access to these teams uh at a higher price than
what is currently available now and i think it's just uh i i i know it's a little complicated
but i can't tell you i we have not seen uh you know this kind of risk mitigation available for the
community ever since i've been around at least i think this is just a huge opportunity for uh polygon
community members and people who are fans of you know uh akron and x23 and prismo and all ancient
beasts and all the awesome projects that are in this round uh it's it's a really cool mechanism and
i can't wait to see how it all plays out and i'm gonna be there next to justice saying i told you so
awesome yeah that's great don't you know none of this is financial advice of course but don't don't
let you be one of the ones that justice or griff are saying i told you so afterwards that that's
all feel free to we get pleasure from that as well so whatever you like okay good stuff um well guys
quick moment of housekeeping i guess just you know share this space around uh share it with your
friends uh we're live right now we want to get as many people as we can in here uh there's also a
pinned tweet at the top that uh you know is really our announcement uh about this uh event that's going on
or rather about the the qac ground and the second tweet in there is a link to a thread with a lot
of information so that's a great thing to check out read and also just share with your friends
who want to get involved in qac um we're gonna go over to passport now for the next five-ish minutes and
talk a little bit about them we just announced an integration with them so if you hold passport
and you have an id or rather a a score in passport of about of 15 uh you can get involved in qac and
and start um uh yeah supporting projects there which is really great for our civil resistance
it's really great for making sure there's caps um on the amount of funds that a person can contribute
so that we have sort of an even distribution of these tokens and stuff like that um yeah so lots
of stuff there uh i guess i just want to go to passport really quickly and um maybe you could talk
a little bit deeper about the mission of passport and just how it works so daniel welcome up
yeah of course so first off i'm uh leading devrel and growth over at passport xyz and passport was
really born out of um capital allocation experiments with gitcoin um we recently spun out not too long
ago but we really were put together originally to make sure that civil resistance was available with
quadratic funding um through passport we've grown up a little bit and so our our mission nowadays is to
just make sure that real humans are able to fairly benefit from amazing projects throughout the web 3
ecosystem and and make sure that symbols are not able to manipulate those programs those programs
can be rewards governance other community initiatives and so what we're really trying to do is
put together a super easy way for users to be able to prove their unique humanity so
that they can then go and participate with partners and so that partners can ensure that only those
folks that have been able to prove their unique humanity can actually come in and participate and
and and benefit from these programs um so we're we're really working hard to make sure that this process
is as easy as possible so we decided to go with more of an aggregate identity verification strategy so users can
kind of pick and choose what they're comfortable with um to be able to prove their humanity so we got
biometrics government ids um different activities within web 3 and also within like web 2 to kind of cater to
more of the crypto beginner crowd um and all you have to do is go and attach a bunch of different
stamps or in other words verifiable credentials to your passport to start building up that score
um to participate in these programs nice i love it yeah and again guys this is super important for
around just uh um a couple of reasons uh primary primary reason is to really just i think make sure
we have a fair launch of these token economies and that no one person gets an outsized sort of stake in
the ecosystem um so it's really great to be able to verify and have credibility behind the accounts um and
again build that resistance uh you know with that the score you need in passport is a score of 15.
um so real quick daniel i'm not sure in the next two minutes uh can you give us a quick maybe tldr on
any tips uh for people to increase that score and get that score within their passport if they're kind
of new to that tool yeah absolutely so i'm gonna post a tweet related to this and we can pin it to this
uh space but we have a bunch of stamps that are super high scoring these are our stamps that we consider to
have uh the highest human signal um and so the you'll see coinbase this is kyc up here um holonyms kyc
we also have civics uh biometrics um with a ton of points within the passport ecosystem and then we
have a couple of um really simple stamps to get now if you have kind of been operating in the web 3 space
for a while um right when you log into passport at app.passport.xyz we're automatically going to
verify a bunch of different stamps and two of those stamps are looking at your transaction history um
related to your or with your wallet one is looking at your eth l1 transaction history and another one's
looking at nft activity we're automatically going to assign a ton of points to your passport by just
logging in so hopefully most people get through the door on with that um we also have a handful of
other um high scoring points that are either um free to get or um cater more to kind of the crypto
beginner as i was mentioning earlier so i have all of this wrapped up in a guide that i'll make sure to
post right after i'm done speaking and we can pin it up on onto this space awesome yeah post it and dm
it to me and then i'll make sure we get it pinned um great thanks so much for for the insight there
and the tips and for taking some time to join the space and share about passport i know it's a busy
day for you so yeah of course and thank you so much for for getting us involved we're always excited to
participate in new um experiments like this and i i'm really excited about what you all have going on so
congratulations on the launch yeah thank you thank you so much uh one thing uh last thing i'll say
before we move on to the next people is just that you know what's cool is that uh qwack was incubated
by giveth which is a qf you know funding platform and passport was in incubated by uh gitcoin which is
a qf funding platform so it's great to just see the regen communities sort of colliding around this
project and uh yeah building new mechanisms for funding funding uh uh impactful projects um all right
guys we got to keep rolling because we got to bring up a bunch of guests now we're going to get to
know all the different projects that are launching in qwack um i think first up why don't we try to
get citizen wallet up here um either the citizen wallet um account or maybe gill if you want to
join up and speak um or anyone else who's on the team there uh feel free just to request to speak
and then justice you can bring them up um and then when you guys can talk just say hey hey and then
we'll know that that we got you here i think we already have a citizen wallet so that's beautiful
hey how's it going hello yes i'm good great to have you here um all right we got five minutes for each
of these projects so um up to five minutes this is your time to uh get on the radar people
before we fire off just a little context right like you know we've talked philosophically like
what is a token what's a real project token versus a meme coin we've gone down into the depths of the
matrix rabbit hole philosophy and all this stuff and we're like ultimately it comes down to this it's like
what is the story what's the founder's story what do they have is it compelling and so we've challenged
all the teams it's easy to talk about all the complexities of the project and this and that
but to boil that down into the pure essence of a couple minutes the pitch you know we said let's do
this we have every team give their crystallized pitch not here for the first time or the last time
but as a run through and let the audience you guys hear it and maybe provide feedback on twitter
and comments and stuff and see what you think so there's a little context there
and uh citizen wallet take it away no pressure right okay so yeah i'm jonas from citizen wallet
and and we believe that citizens really should have the tools to build resilient and regenerative
communities and launching a local token economies is a crucial component for this and we really believe
that web3 is the perfect infrastructure for this but it's still missing a crucial interface layer
because current crypto wallets are still way too technical they are complicated seed phrases gas fees
change selection and in the end most of them really focus on portfolio management and trading
while we want to build an open source wallet and a set of tools for real world usage of community
currency currencies and so this wallet has to be has to completely remove the complexity of crypto so it
enables zero friction onboarding of non-crypto users it has pre-configured it's pre-configured for your
community and it has a super easy way to send and receive tokens even without a smartphone and so around
that wallet we are also building a set of tools to empower communities like a very user-friendly token
administration interface to let community owners interact with their token contract also a live dashboard
view that displays the activity within of your community token we are building app plugins so that way each
community can customize the functionality of their community with on-ramp off-ramps a marketplace a
governance mechanism and we also built a point of sale app for shops to easily accept token payments
but what may be making so projects the most unique is our nft wallet solution because in the end the best
interface is most of the time just no interface and nfc techs really provide a tap to pay and a tap to earn
experience um that doesn't even need a mobile device and so with our technology we turn nfc techs like nfc
wristbands but even traditional bank cards into a smart crypto wallet that can hold any token or asset
and with these wallets people can tap to pay at a set of white listed vendors
they can easily read their nfc wallet information by tapping it with their own phone
and they can easily top up their nfc techs with crypto or fiat through their smartphone or a kiosk
and then for the last events we did we even added an on-chain profile so that people are able to also use
these nfc techs as a networking solution and to claim poaps or nfts when they go to a specific event
so while the larger mission is really to support communities or nfc wallet solution also is a great
commercial products to run cashless events and payment systems and that really also gives us a
way to generate sustainable revenue for the project but now the important aspects we are launching the
citizen token which is uh which we want to use to bootstrap the citizen wallet ecosystem
so the token will become an essential part of the future of a product and it will have real utility
within the citizen wallet ecosystem because community owners will be able to use the token to
sponsor gas fees for their communities you will be able to purchase citizen wallet hosting services
you'll be able to buy community plugins on the other side end users will be able to use the token to
buy ens usernames for their communities they can earn bounties and ambassador rewards and for all
token holders we also want to offer a unique set of perks like access to premium features of the app
access to token gated chat room and also just having voting power and governance decision of our project
so yeah i would say really don't miss this opportunity to become part of the ecosystem
and get some citizen tokens now amazing that was a great pitch citizen um it's always hard to summarize
a project especially a really complex and involved project like yours in five minutes so it's really
great to hear you guys summarize it so strongly um and yeah i'm stoked for everything you guys are
doing guys i just pinned a tweet at the top that is a deep dive into these guys with a thread so you
can go learn more about it there you got to see like their nfc wallets and just how easy it is for
people to pay for things without even using an interface so yeah guys it's really cool uh we're going
to keep going though because we got a lot of projects here we're going to bring up x23 now i believe
we've got david or someone from their team here to talk thank you citizen wallet and yeah let's go to x23
tell us what you got yep hey it's uh david here uh so i'll jump straight in i'm the founder of x23
previously i was contracted for coinbase in 2015 and i was the fourth engineer on the rv genesis team in
2020. um so i've been quick for quite a while now and one of the major problems in the space is around
information overload so x23 we're helping to solve this starting with dial governance so we apply state-of-the-art
ai models to aggregate distill and bring sense to what is happening in dials we support about
30 dials at the moment we index more than 50 000 pieces of information and help more than a thousand
users stay on top of dial governance so currently we have two products a customizable newsfeed and
a conversational ai bot and here are some things uh that people have said about our current products
so sam from entropy advisors who's one of the major players in arbitrum has said that this is one of the
most powerful tools i've used in my four plus years in crypto to stay up to date on protocol dials
griff who's on the call and also co-founder of gibbeth and guac has said that as a delegate i use x23
almost daily it's a huge time saver and rain and coffee a researcher at maven 11 the vc firm has said
that one of the best ways x23 is one of the best ways to keep track of governance and research discussions
on a plethora of different protocols however these tools uh are all in service of ultimately our end
goal which is to build autonomous ai agents that will help billions of people so how does the x23
token fit into all of this and what utility does so besides giving access to the token gated community
chat we have it will also be used for payment to access our services to unlock special product
features to gain exclusive early access to new services and it will be used throughout the creation
and deployment of the agents ai agents that we're building so these agents will autonomously make
revenue throughout web3 and that revenue uh will be governed by the dial of x23 token holders
and what sort of agents will we be building well the agents will include things like governance
agents that can vote on behalf of humans uh all the way to agents that can autonomously trade and execute
on-chain actions so we believe the ai tools the models and the agents that we're creating will enable
dals and the wider web3 community scale far beyond what anyone has imagined from millions of humans on
chain currently we aim to serve a future with billions of agents staying so to be part of this future
and our future uh contribute to qwack and mint our token uh it'll be great to have everyone join our
community thanks fire amazing david thank you so much i also pinned a thread on you guys at the top
there so guys search that really cool this is going to take us past the dunbar number and make us you
know be able to scale and coordinate at bigger scales super important if we're going to take our web3 tech
into the real world and use it for real governance also so go check them out um x23 i believe is
actually in the lead right now um in terms of like amount of donations raised or sorry people
supporting them i should say um and yeah so they're really cool go check them out thread at the top
we're going to keep going over to grand timeline now we've got igor and olivia here welcome really
excited about your project also so why don't you share a little bit about what you guys are doing
you go on igor olivia hi guys hi hi guys hey everyone uh thank you for being here uh i'm eager uh product
designer uh and researcher i've been in crypto since 2016. uh since i started the grand timeline
uh um it's it's been uh three years ago and uh only this year i published the current progress
uh now we're a team of two uh with me is olivia formerly the editor and chief of
coin telegraph and head of content and communication okx uh she joined me to work on the grand timeline just
this fall so the grand timeline is a visual history of bitcoin crypto and web3 mapping the cave k people
events and price cycles uh and fuses that shaped our industry from cypherpunks to present days and it's a
massive historical research and data visualization project that will be public good for the world
uh now we're building token economy with qwack and once launched the grand timeline will exist as a
web platform and web application with different layers and as a physical art exhibit uh to give you a sense
to a scale uh the timeline is eight meters or uh 26 feet wide when printed so now i will hand off uh to
olivia uh will tell you more about uh that makes this project unique hey everyone um yeah so there are a few
things about the grand timeline that no one's ever done before number one um it's really the scale as
igor just said it's you know usually when you think of a timeline you think of some flat uh list of
facts going from left to right this is a multi-layer interactive infographic it's at a huge scale so
again eight meters or 26 feet wide when printed with a very high density of information um no one as far
as we know has created a visual timeline at this level of detail and scale about anything let alone about
crypto and bitcoin um number two is the portrait ai portrait art so the grand timeline features a
collection of ai generated uh photo realistic portraits of real people and these are the most
important people who have shaped bitcoin and crypto over its history and it's done in a way that
we've never seen before these portraits these unique portraits will also be launched as an nft collection
currently there's about a hundred of them but the timeline has the capacity for up to 300 key
people and number three is data visualization we have the largest ever data visualization of crypto
hacks and scams so you know there's also this isn't a timeline of the good things about the industry
it's about the history of the industry so it includes everything a little bit about what's next for us
so the overall goal is to help people learn about bitcoin and crypto so you know we're entering a new
cycle bull cycle right now for many people it's hard to know where to start to get information about this
industry and the history of it we first and foremost are creating version one of the timeline after we
gather community support through the q act round we're going to launch version one so it's currently in draft
form we're also creating a small research collective to verify the the timelines content and this is
sort of in the spirit of trying to make it as objective and unbiased as possible um additionally we
have some other plans for more interactive learning so how to interact with the timeline which could
include which will include a game based on the content of the timeline and an animated series also
about the history of bitcoin and crypto a little bit about our community tokens so yes as you all know
we're launching we've launched a community token with q act the ticker is grndt to gather support for
the project when you hold our community token you get direct access to the project's development and to
us to the team so this includes um a token gated group chat with us it includes access to exclusive
content and merch related to the timeline um it also includes early access to timeline updates so
before they go public in very in different versions as we move forward um and the ability to vote on
proposals for timeline content and features so i'll just say if lastly if you want to be part of making
crypto history the best way is to mint the gram timeline token during the q act round which again is
running right now um and until december 20th you can find us on x uh you can see us here at grand
timeline and we will also share the link to our token minting page on q act right here um on this space
so thank you everyone for your attention thank you that was fantastic such a great summary really cool
project i'm in so i love to see things that you know not only have utility behind them but also an
artistic aspect as well um and real quick real quick on that one this is probably one that um brand
timelines it's impossible to imagine unless you see yeah there's never been a person who clicked this
link and saw what we saw and didn't have their breath taken away so please click the link yeah um
speaking of link thread at the top there guys go scroll through and find it you'll learn a lot about them
and you'll find links to go visualize things we also got a thread uh finally post up there from
daniel from passports team just giving you some tips on how to increase your score uh to participate
to check out that and segue here we've also got a thread pinned up there for akron which is our next
project that's going to speak um akron thanks for joining us here uh love to get to know you take it
away yo hi hi everyone thanks for having us this is uh jimmy jimmy cutrino i'm the ceo of akron and so
before to go with the project i'd like to quickly introduce the team behind the akron so we are a
swiss based company we are focused on web 2 and web 3 gaming plus defined and entertainment so i've been
working with uh music television game love you do catch a game several different projects from different
spaces and over the past five years we have created several projects including wall and there was a
blockchain augmented reality mobile app that was promoted by pewdiepie channels in a video so
featuring even mr beast a few years ago so but let's go focus on akron.io so akron is a mobile app
that combines price prediction and gamification so but it's very funny to reveal how the idea for
akron came up uh so it came from my six years old son so is that the idea is from coming from him so
i was i was working on the pc so while watching my pc screen so i was open on binance with some red and
green candlesticks that working up and down so he asked me what they were because what fun is you
not full of colors green and and red unfortunately in that last year but anyway it's better color and he
asked him for what so so i explained it in the best way that daddy can for uh six years old and he said
that's so boring daddy so and he said imagine if instead of vertical candlesticks they were horizontal
and shaped like a little running characters so that is boom so that's when the inspiration is so we
turn in those boring candlesticks into running characters so each representing a financial asset like
crypto nasdaq stocks commodities and the speed of these characters on the track is based entirely on
real-time market performance so in fact in akron so you can let bitcoin race against the mean coins
or even challenge gold and stocks so image playing doge against tesla shares for example and actually the
character of doge is elon mask character this is running on the accurate track
so we put this one in a 30 second race so the character representing the best performing asset
wins so the winning player takes on their token plus the opponent's token all directed to their in-game
wallet immediately so what we do with the current io will make price prediction just not accessible but
also even fun with the gamification part so playing to both experience the trader traders and casual gamers
so try to so i currently technically is an opportunity for crypto users to explore even stock and
commodities and vice versa so allowing stock market players to approach the crypto world in a funny way
and it creating a crossover between two markets that could be seems separated but they are in fact
very close connected that the stock market is in crypto users and fathom of will being available on
traditional way to platforms such as app store and google play it opens a door to the broader audience so
because we eliminated the traditional way three bodies like metamask and so on and so where are we now so
the game is ready in a one versus one version we have already uploaded over 40 crypto assets available to play
the 100 versus 100 players plus stock commodities in game will be uh planet are planned to release
during next weeks currently we are testing phase for the app on the apple store and google pay and will be
available uh ios and android devices by the end of january 2025 actually we have published it so uh reduced
version directly on our website it's akron.io later i'm going to share the link on the messages or through
a mini game on telegram and um so what about akron native token we have a token that's called called aka
and he has three key functions the first one is the only in-game currency so it's required by players
that to use any asset in the game they need aka to play the game second is the way to join even in
the dao decision making and third it's the payment method for entering official tournaments so we organize
the special tournaments inside the game usually one have two weeks with our partner actually polygon
alchemy chain link open zeppelin quick swap with polygon it was the last one of three four weeks ago
and of course uh qwack and um of of speaking about qwack they are currently hosting the the aka token
sailor which is open i think for next eight to nine days and i will share the link up already as available
in the comments and uh this is this is the aka so i would like just uh take this opportunity to
thanks personally grief tamara just it'll be all the qwack uh team for the great work they are doing and
we are so happy and proud to be in um you know in this first uh season of qwack and uh that's it i wish
everyone happy racing on uh akron.io amazing yeah really cool project uh shout out to your son for
being the inspiration there you're sounds like you're raising a dgen so that's good um yeah yeah
guys he's the king he's the king definitely that's great you know i prediction markets a ton of adoption
like during this cycle but you know i think one of the things really holding them back is like
engage like making things more engaging and making things more accessible and that seems to be the
problem that akron is solving so yeah really cool uh we got their thread pinned at the top there you
guys got to check it out and just see it in action and we'll play things um we're gonna keep moving uh
we gotta keep rolling here unfortunately wish we could spend more time with akron but prismo you're up
next um and uh yeah we got your your thread there pinned at the top also for people to learn more as
you're talking uh why don't you take it away yo thank you uh can you hear me guys perfectly good all
right so yeah so i'll start so i'm paul soliman uh the co-founder ceo and cto of bayernet chain and
the first microsoft mvp for business applications in the philippines and also regional director of
microsoft in the philippines um so i have here my team so i think they're there in the audience
so yeah so we're developing a layer two blockchain on polygon ck avm to make governments and enterprises
for them to become more accountable with their data and reports so this is what we saw currently
enterprises and government are not that really accountable of the data that they share and
report to the public and yes we understand that you know they can just you know get or put or just
mint their data on any public blockchain and use whatever public blockchain that they want whether
it's layer one or layer two however um what we saw in our current project is there are still
sensitive data that needs to be remain private and you know but this is the problem that we also see
how can we make sure that they don't edit private data such as like you know data that is in a private
blockchain like hyperledger or really like you know this data that is in the sq that is in sql
right so they're um how can we make sure that they don't greenwash their data so that's why we decided
to create prismo so we call prismo as an accountability layer it's again it's built on
top of polygon ck evm so what prismo does it's uh is it's orchestrate what data should be public
and what data should be private so by using header line design patterns so if you're familiar with
an erp system so those totals will be um in the header and those um in the public blockchain and those line
will be in the private and um and also we're incorporating homomorphic encryption to our
chain so private data can be handled and put on chain so currently um it's hard to put of course
private and sensitive data on chain but we're taking a big lip uh on this so that's why we're using
homomorphic encryption for us to be able to to do selective data sharing and peer-to-peer uh you know
data sharing by using audit key so just to give you some sort of a background uh why homomorphic
encryption does that so homomorphic encryption uh like asymmetric you need private and public key
in homomorphic encryption there's a third key called evaluation key in the asymmetric encryption you need
to decrypt all the data before you can really use it uh same as with the ck the good thing about um
homomorphic encryption you don't need to really decrypt the data for you to be able to run
mathematical computation and logic so that's part of prismo so that's why we can really like you know
do peer-to-peer and selective data sharing and we are also developing a function like vector
database so we can improve data retrieval um if we're talking about large data we can we need to
really incorporate that so we can really achieve the scale and the speed that our client needs
so currently uh of course uh with the help of qac where i really uh we release our token that will
be used as you know utility to facilitate gas transaction rewards and data retrieval um but
what important is uh it runs through the augmented bonding curve so uh it will of course make sure that
it will not be dumped and it will not go to zero so again thanks to qwak team so what do we do now
so currently bianne chain is working with our department of budget and management here in the
philippines so the project that we have currently is where you know we're processing the 105 billion dollar
usd budget of the whole country so how does it work so currently department of budget and management
assigned budget to each department in the government so how do we make sure that everything will
become accountable and transparent so they need to mint the you know public data to a public blockchain
like polygon ckvm and the sensitive data they will be minting that to prismo to make sure that they
don't edit it and also we're dealing with our land transportation office for the licenses and plate number
and also the violation management in the traffic tollway system so prismo is currently on a devnet and
we're currently releasing our documentation and github and uh i think next year q2 q1 next year we're
going to be releasing our test net already so um before i end of course i want to thank uh the qwak team
you know um we met them in devcon they're very good people that's why when you know we we we had the
chance to meet with them i think uh we will be vibing and uh we have the same principle on you know uh
making um this this this space transparent and making the world transparent so yeah so join us
visit uh q dash app that give it that io and you know choose all the projects there that you want to
invest and follow our twitter of course thank you amazing thank you prismo that was fantastic yeah
uh really this is another one of those things that's going to help us a ton with like bringing
in the next wave of adopters is really onboarding enterprise and government uh you know people into
the space and yeah the solution you guys have done that it's a big brain moves all the encryption
and stuff like that um so uh love it we're gonna keep rolling though bring on zaid now guys uh before
we do that make sure you check out the thread at the top uh to learn more about prismo and check them
out uh zaid uh how's it going how are you up here gm yeah yeah doing good the markets are up so really
happy about that and yeah i mean any day the markets are up it's always a good day any day that bitcoin is
about 100 000 it's a good day even if it's not one bitcoin is still equal to one bitcoin uh great to be
your guys always a great fan of polygon been in the polygon ecosystem for a few years now so right
now instead of wasting any time i'll just give you the alpha so many of y'all must be thinking right
like at zaid uh at zaid we are building the robin out of d5 essentially that's a mobile app with over
100 000 markets including stocks crypto forex commodities etc which people can trade uh with
liquidity from 20 plus evm as well as non-evm chains under three seconds with zero gas fees
in a manner so seamless that even your grandma can use it but you must be thinking right like if the
project's name is zaid why is the token that they are launching named alpha chad so today we are going
to announce something like you know which has been cooking for a long time but we have never publicly
revealed this even to the q act team for that matter we are officially launching the alpha chad
ai agent the first autonomous trading agent on polygon zkevm and polygon pos and alpha chad will be the
first ai agent token on polygon and polygon zkevm and you can get access to that in under the two
million fdb where the project is live the product is ready and it will be like you know you can already
test out zai it's the ultimate research and uh research and analysis tool with over a million
data points a million real-time data points powered by mobila uh so for ai agents people like you know
people keep on forgetting that the ai is only as good as the data it is getting we have partnered
with edge in we have partnered with mobila we have partnered with the best data guys in crypto
we have spent over two years building our own llm and then we got in zai which we launched we got a lot
of love from the people we got a thousand transactions in under an hour for zai and as of right now we will
announce we are announcing the alpha chad ai agent the first agent on polygon pos and polygon zkevm
so those of uh like you know anybody who has joined the space you are listening to the first ai agent on
polygon uh ecosystem so that's the alpha the ticker is a chad a chad as the chad who gives out alpha
that's that's the thesis behind the token name that's the thesis behind the ticker and you should
go and buy it right now on qvac not financial advice or maybe it is go and buy it right now to
get exposure to the first ai agent on the polygon ecosystem under 2 million fdb this is the only
chance you will ever get ever get it on 2 million fdb we have got some crazy ass partnerships cooking up
which we'll be announcing over the next week but alpha chad is the alpha so yeah not gonna
waste a lot more time so i just want to give everybody the alpha i'm a dgen i want everybody
to make money that's uh well that's what trading and that's what uh investing is all about so yeah
invest in the invest in the first ai agent on the polygon ecosystem and yeah and thanks a lot guys
all right so much so i just want to say real quick uh uh alpha chad is an appropriate name for
your token to match your personality and your vibe so appreciate that and freaking awesome dude
that is the alpha um all right guys yeah you got to check it out to believe it so go look at the
thread at the top there um and learn all about alpha chad uh next up we are going to bring on uh melodex
so melodex come on up here and uh yeah look forward to getting to know you hi everyone i'm andrei melodex
co-founder and i'm here today to tell you about melodex we are a team of music execs with hard to
believe 100 plus years of combined experience in music business so we are not so old but there are quite a
few of us we made together a perfect team and we are in business of monetizing music
we help in the artists to make a living out of their passions we are on a mission to turn your
favorite playlists everyone must have some favorite playlists so we help to turn them into
profit we are a hybrid of spotify and new york stock exchange and ultimate music rights investment
platform where artists or labels can issue shares in the future songs royalty rights and fans and
investors can buy those rights and benefit from receiving passive income at any time
and everyone can trade those rights on our secondary market so we are a real business and
it's necessary to say that we first built an off-chain version of this investment platform
a web2 version which is already bringing money from successful auctions
and it's approved by german financial regulator buffen so in few words we took timeless love for music
and combined it with everyone's obsession of making money and we are flipping the script of traditional
heavily centralized music industry which serves less than one percent of artists who are signed to big major labels
so what we are doing is not just streaming music anymore it's turning music into ecosystem for collaboration between fans
and artists and artists a space for commerce we give people gamified experience when people can
predict future hits and also make impact on charts vote for favorite songs melotex native token is a magic that powers the whole ecosystem
ecosystem it can be utilized for voting for favorite songs for predicting future hits
for buying royalty rights in songs which are not yet released but
maybe they will become a next big hit and bring substantial profit
this token this token is utilized for trading royalty rights on the secondary market and also for governance and access to exclusive events
think of this token as your full access backstage path to the music industry which is very much closed
and also for the first secret industry are not transparent so we don't want it to be non-transparent
anymore we want to make a sharing economy out of this heavily centralized monopolistic industry
imagine a world where artists are not depending anymore on gatekeepers on labels and fans can say i own
rights rights in that grammy nominated song so that's a world where everyone millions of people hundreds
millions of people can trade music rights freely on our melody secondary market so music is not just entertainment it's
it's really a space for commerce space for combining help for artists you want to support with building your own wells
what can i say life's too short not to invest in the good vibes so please join the qr round by melodex token and
other beautiful projects tokens thank you amazing thank you melodex i'm a musician also so uh
really excited about different ways that blockchain can really evolve the economics of
the music industry i think it's a huge opportunity so yeah guys go check them out
thread is at the top um thank you andrew we're gonna keep on moving to our last guest here ancient
beast last but not least come on up here and let's uh let's get to know you
do we have an ancient beast in the building
i have uh technical difficulties he's been invited to speak
you know pinged him so we'll see what we can do there we go what's up red
hello everybody great to have you here take it away to be here part of this uh first cohort in
state of the art accelerator with uh such amazing projects that are going to change the world so i'm
valentina anastasia i'm from europe romania next to the black sea i'm an indie game developer i
worked as a designer and freelancer into doing 2d and 3d graphics for clients all over the world in
a lot of industries and i have this project ancient beast you should follow it on twitter soon
there's a lot going on with it but now it's like the count before the storm because i've been working
uh on this since i was like uh really young so it's the project is over two decades old it's uh long
past the mvp stage minimum viable product we have a lot of features and it was happily battle tested so
we only need a little bit to finish uh an important uh feature online multiplayer which is one of the main
battle next so think of this game like a combination of um chess pokemon uh magic the gathering heroes from
item magic 3 and mobiles like legal legends and dotato it takes the best elements from those games and
mixes them uh perfectly blends them in together nicely while avoiding the main issues those games have
i've been um into video games since i was a little kid so um i'm a maniac when it comes to good uh gameplay
mechanics and good game design and um i have a very keen eye to uh details and uh finding all sorts of
issues so this game um is is playable um in matches one versus one or two versus two each pair starts with a dark
priest that has a limited resource called plasma which you you're able to use to defend against enemy attacks
and you are able to materialize a squad of units that have unique stats and abilities you can um pretty much
figure out the abilities an unit has just by looking at it it's um thought out to be that intuitive and
uh there's a lot of stuff planned uh we just need a little bit of funding to uh to finally um finish
online multiplayer uh most of the code bases over there we need to do some changes but uh programmers
are pretty expensive and i wear a lot of hats like uh as you can imagine but i'm not that proficient when it
comes to coding besides uh little patches and things and stuff like that so this is about to
get big um out there you'll hear about the project everywhere so it will bring people together you'll have
like even um public kiosks you'll be able to play with uh strangers and stuff like that
uh so yeah the idea is simple and the game was also basically predicted by star wars you know it's a
sci-fi franchise basically that uh predicts a lot of technologies and you can see han solo playing it
uh like a futuristic version against chewbacca from time to time you'll get to see some um holographic
creatures taking turns like on a table and they hit each other with uh clubs and rocks and stuff like that
so that's basically like uh ancient beast 3.0 we're um about to release version 0.5
there's still a bit of work going on so hopefully next year in the first half we'll have that already
um even if we don't get a lot of funding for some reason from this accelerator it's still fine we have
like a lot of uh sponsors uh funding the project usually casinos which is uh ironic because um we don't
have any sort of chance based elements but that's great because uh ancient beast is meant to become
the ultimate export and they change the industry uh as it's very accessible we have this uh battle
tested vanilla prototype that it's uh playable from the browser the game is free open source and the
hundreds of people from all over the world have contributed uh all sorts of things starting from
documentation artwork uh code patches uh sound effects and uh incredible musical scores epic style so
this will become a dow pretty soon and if you get the token you'll be able to pick the direction the
project is going or um fine tune certain things and uh like uh unit balancing or uh artwork decisions and
prioritizing features and stuff like that uh you'll also be able to secure your uh nickname as a nft
if you're early on and you can even buy extra nicknames to sell them later kind of like domain names
and a very important thing you'll be able to do others for crypto and nft so there will be like uh
professional players coming uh to the arena pretty soon and uh they'll even be able to have their own
sponsors like uh you see sports out there the the athletes are wearing uh branded merchandise because
they have big companies uh betting on them basically and supporting them so this is um a project that
is meant to become the go-to game for humanities like kung fu for the brain if you want to battle somebody
like one click away and use intelligence this is the game forget about chess and pokemon and
uh all those other games i've mentioned and the important thing is that we'll have expansions
season-based that will add a lot of new mechanics and functionality to the game like uh building
cities where you'll basically have homes for the units and you'll get to grow them and you'll be able to
see the other cities and eventually we'll add adventure mods so you'll be able to explore with
your uh dark beasts and uh kind of like in pokemon you go over the map and have uh yeah i know i just
want to say i i i i lost myself for half an hour playing just against myself ancient beast it's a really
fun game and if you guys haven't tried it you should really uh go go to qac.giveit.io find ancient
beasts find the links in there give it a try because it is actually a lot of fun and it's just super cool
that it was actually a game that was played like by chewbacca in the original star wars back in the day
effectively brought to life is the 20-year open source project i mean it's it's epic what you've
done dread night um but i know we're we're short on time so uh i'll pass it back to liam to uh to keep
us rolling yeah thank you ancient beasts guys there is a thread at the top there to go learn about them
love to see open worlds being built collaboratively and in an open source way that's what we're all about
um we're gonna wrap things up here real quick um so i'm just curious someone on the qac team i mean
maybe griff because we also just pinned this tweet of yours to the polygon scan so maybe you want to
just uh quickly give a quick explanation of what that link is all about where you can track the eight
tokens um and uh while you're doing that you know also just let us know once more like where people can
go to get involved i've pinned the tweet again at the top guys that sort of announces this round and
gives you some good links that it would be great if you shared um but yeah griff uh what should
people think no where where should they go what's the timeline like give us the tldr and then we'll
wrap things up yeah well you tam said it at the beginning of the round you got eight days to get to
q hyphen ack.giveth.io or you can go to qac.giveth.io qacc.giveth.io and uh you'll find the links in
there and you you gotta get in on on these cool projects uh i've posted a link with uh you know
this is a you know very connected we're effective qac is effectively a polygon grant program that
supports teams in launching their own tokens it's a very innovative grant program it's a grant program
where uh that actually creates sustainable economies for the the projects that participate so
uh it's very closely connected to polygon and uh in the link that i posted is actually in polygon zk
evm's ether scan all these these eight tokens are tagged uh as um quad you know as as qac tokens so
that's just a simple link that links their token addresses in case you were uh looking for them of
course there's hardly any holders right now uh because oh no
we might have lost him there
so you're selling a manhole selling a manhole you know uh okay one thing that was coming to
mind as he was speaking is you guys have heard that term like you become your closest like 10 friends or
something you i think it's eight or ten or whatever and and like pick the winners and for me
like if you don't know what ag layer is go do some searching right now it is a complete transformation
on what we think is possible the first in line for ag layer is zk evm i can't even say what's going
to happen with zk avm early next year and then what we're going to see from ag layer my friends that are
surrounding me are these eight teams that are front in line front seat on this spaceship and so
uh you know join the squad live in the future and check them out um and and yeah get plugged in
all right thank you yeah and just i just want to i want to jump in before we hop off the call
you know it's um quadratic acceleration is a cool technical innovation it's quadratic funding
it's augmented bonding curves but at the end of the day it's really about building cool things
in web3 and making these uh accessible to the public to be able to uh to really grow these economies to
build communities around around these projects around these token economies and to be part of these
projects success and you know i love that we're focusing on the projects today it really is all about
the projects the technology doesn't even matter except for the builders in web3 who are making
things happen and i i couldn't be more proud of these eight projects you all killed it today
totally what an exciting space what an interesting space like one of the most interesting spaces i think
i've hosted because things just kept moving and we had such a breadth of talent here talking about their
work um so yeah thank you everyone for joining go to the top check out the pin tweets for more make
sure you you share that qac round live tweet around and help spread the word go to qacc.giveth.io to
to jump in and start to support some of these projects uh yeah thanks again everybody for joining and
we'll see you all again soon and thanks to polygon we should thank polygon as well for hosting this so
thank you very much love you all and uh we'll see you soon thanks guys see ya
