Thank you everyone for joining.
Yeah, if you just joined, we are just getting the speakers up on stage and starting in a
little second.
Very excited for the partnership and what's upcoming and glad to see,
you know, all the communities represented here.
You know, the Kwai miners are starting to wake up.
I saw Pavel's tweet waking them up.
I see the Kwai babies.
Yeah, let's get all the communities woken up.
It's about time with collabland
yeah let's show them what we got here yeah it would be exciting Thank you. You Pavel how you doing sir? It's been a while.
Yo, GM, GM everyone.
Oh, it's so good to hear you Pavel, hi. Hello.
Yo, thank you so much for bringing me on stage and yeah i can't lie that i'm so excited about this partnership and this
collab because i'm as an ft lover i can't wait this integration when when when i have only one
question when you want it absolutely all right oh sorry angeli go ahead it's okay are we jumping in let's jump in
yeah no i was just about to kick it off um looks like we'll have some of the rest of the team join
us here momentarily um but uh welcome everyone thanks for joining us today another quiet friday
uh it's a beautiful friday down here in austin texas but we got
community members hanging out down there in the audience from around the world so shout out to
everybody who's tuning in today really appreciate you guys having uh having the time to join us
um we have a special guest today we got angeli uh hopefully I'm pronouncing that correctly uh here from the
Collabland team uh we recently announced a partnership with Collabland and things are
just getting started but like Pavel mentioned this has been a request uh from the Quai Network
community for quite some time we have a number of communities building on Kwai Network. We have
meme coins, we have NFTs, we have hopeful DAOs, pretty much everything under the sun.
And Discord is a great place for everybody to join and connect and build communities.
And I've always seen Collabland a real force multiplier for for building communities
especially in the web 3 space and on discord so with that I'll go ahead and let Anjali introduce
herself and and then we'll go around the room with the rest of the team get some introductions
out of the way and then I got a question to kind of tee us off, but go ahead,
Anjali, take it away. All right. Well, number one, thank you for having me. It is wonderful to be here. And I will say whenever we have a community initiated integration, that is the
biggest thrill for us. So when we started seeing all of the QI requests on Twitter, we reached out to QI and immediately
they were like, yeah, we see this too.
And we're excited about this.
And that just feels the best.
We've worked with different chains over the years and some of them don't understand the
value of community.
They do now, but initially they do not.
And this is just so, it's so much nicer to work with a team that honestly understands what this is about and why we do it. And so thank you for that. And this is just so it's so much nicer to work with a team that honestly understands
what this is about and why we do it. And so thank you for that. Number one, thank you
to Khoi. I mean, I'm just really happy and to work with you guys and grateful for your
interest in community and your passion for community. We share that. Okay, who am I?
A quick intro. My name is Anjali Young. I am a co-founder of Collabland. I'm also the chief community officer, which means I kind of am in charge of everything that's not tech exactly, even though my team and I, Chibi is in to communities, doing BD, doing integrations, kind of seeing from communities what they want and then getting that escalated within the team.
So that's kind of what I do.
We started Collabland in May of 2020.
We just had our fifth year, you know, just really proud to be where we are and continuing to be a leader in this space.
And yeah, not stopping. So thank you. Absolutely. Thank you, man. Really appreciate
that introduction. Yeah, community is huge over here at Quiet Network. I echo all of your sentiment
you brought up there. Veronica, keep me honest here. I like, you know,
kind of mentioning to folks who are new to QI, like how old our community actually is. New
blockchains when they launch, they don't typically have a community as old as ours. Veronica, if you
can, I know you're on the main account right now, probably multitasking. How long has the Kauai Discord been around? Do you know offhand?
I'm sure Pavel would be the best to know because he's been here since 100 people.
I'm only here since several thousand people.
So it's literally like ages.
I turned legal age while I was in the Kauai community.
That's awesome.
That's awesome.
I think the word, I mean, I keep pointing to five years.
Is that accurate, Pavel?
I mean, it's been ages in crypto terms, but how long has it been really?
This is a good question.
Yeah, it's been funny i think for now on space me and kishore
been here for a while a discord has been created 14th of september 2021 oh my god yes, yes. I joined in the end of 2022. That's why, yeah, we've been here when it's been so less people in our community.
I, man, I remembered our spaces when on spaces it's been around 10 people, for example, part of them being a KWAI team.
Yes, it has been a historical moment.
And I remember every week, every month, every stage of this net,
everything was being on KWAI during this period of time.
Yes.
And for now, 2025, and I'm so happy to be here.
I'm so happy to be part of this way.
And as I mentioned before that Call-Up Land,
it's the best bot for this course,
for verification your assets.
And I am as JPEG lover, know about it and trust me.
And this is really huge.
And community prefer to verify their assets
and be more involved with holders
in different challenges, in different activities, in projects life.
And I think that such integration is a so huge step, one of the hugest step in our project
for now.
It's just my opinion.
opinion don't judge me you know it's interesting pavel that you say that because um collabland
Don't judge me.
our team um created this concept of token gating initially in telegram um for daos that's where it
started it started with lockdown happened and we used to all meet with DAO people in person at events prior to COVID lockdown.
And then COVID lockdown happened and we're like, wait a second, how are we going to continue to meet online with members of our DAO?
And that's the way we created this concept, which is, okay, everyone that shares the same DAO shares, the DAO token, can join a Telegram group together.
that shares the same DAO shares, the DAO token, can join a Telegram group together.
So if you can imagine what the origin of Collablan was, just to get like 20, 30 people
that belong to the same small DAO.
I mean, this is 2020.
These DAOs have been going on since 2019.
And getting that small group into what it is today, which is really the 2021 NFT bull cycle, turning
NFTs into membership tickets was revolutionary.
And honestly, I cannot take credit for that.
I can take credit for the growth of that, of NFTs growing, but I cannot take credit
for NFTs originally being used as a membership pack into a community, and that was BoardApe.
So BoardApe was the first one to use their BoardApe token into the BoardApe Yacht Club membership on Discord, and that changed everything.
Once we saw that, it was like, hit the ground running.
This is a movement.
This can actually give real utility to the nfts that
are out there give people a sense of belonging look you've got the pudgy penguin um profile
picture we were actually verifying profile pictures on twitter even before twitter was
it's it really has become something so much bigger and so much greater than we initially
thought but we're just along for the ride and continuing to support as much
as we can. So when we see new communities come on like KWI, it's like it is important. It is
part of their movement. It is what we can all have together in this space where we're all talking on
phones or only talking on Discord. It's, it gives us some meaningful connection with one another.
And I just think that's incredibly special. So I agree with you.
Thank you so much. It's interesting for me, I think, and for everyone to hear the story of
CallUp land, because I've never, I knew about Telegram integration, like that you can verify your assets via Telegram too,
via Collaplan, but I even used it once in Pudgy Penguins,
but it's not so popular as I thought before your speech
as in Discord integration.
as in Discord integration.
And that's really cool for community.
I think that such opportunity gives more freedom for new communities,
for new chains, for new people in crypto who just jump in here
and want to be involved with like-minded people.
Because you know that scammers also try to improve their skills.
But with such tools, you can't stay full.
Yeah, I think.
Absolutely.
And not to get too philosophical, but anyone that is a part of any kind of immigrant community knows,
like I am the child of American or Indian
immigrants to the US. And anyone that's entering a new type of world knows being with your community
is what's going to at least help you get along. And so when people are coming into crypto, which
really is a new world with their own rules and their own money, right? Own financial system and our own
governmental systems as well through DAOs and voting. Like having a community to land in with
like-minded individuals where you're all interested in similar things, maybe not exactly the same
things, but similar things is a great way to get educated. Even when you're clicking on a link, you can hop into the Kawhi community and say, hey, I'm about to do this.
What do you guys think? Right.
Just having someone to like check out things with when you're entering a new world, I think is incredibly special and important and crucial to new members joining in. So yeah, all, all of that is absolutely has been new and exciting.
And I'm just grateful to be in this position to be able to be part of that.
I just want to add in really quick. My, my blockchain or crypto journey actually started
way a long time ago, but I didn't really actually make the leap until about like 2021,
like September. So like in the second, you know, half of that, that NFT bull run.
And I mean, not only was everything, the excitement, extremely palpable, but I was joining community
after community, after community, after community.
And the same thing would pop up every single time.
It was just like collab land here, verification here, collab land here.
And, you know, it's, you know, and Anjali, we've been working together now for a little
bit.
And I think I told you this from the outset, but it's an absolute honor to like, not only a hear
your story, learn from the best in my mind in terms of NFTs and community building, but be,
you know, be able to usher that in and help bring that to our community, given the fact that my
journey really started with your tool. Like went from community to community to community.
It was just collab land here, collab land there.
And to your point about staying with your community, building your community,
it really is the absolute necessity to be able to lean on.
This is a very ever-growing, ever-expanding, ever-changing world that we're in.
And no one can do it by themselves.
Like, you can try.
If you can go ahead and try and stay on top of all the updates on every single chain
and what everyone's doing, but you will go crazy really quick and hit a wall
and then completely burn out.
Otherwise, go to your community and commiserate and build bond
nope sorry about that folks go ahead christopher
hey christopher you got muted by accident sorry about that there we go now i can unmute um yeah ouch dude ouch let's start talking about community
getting shut down by my community yeah sorry about that not sure what happened
where um where did where did the uh what i was talking about was how essential community is, right?
Is that where I left off?
It doesn't matter.
Anjali, it's been a pleasure.
You know, we've been working now for a little bit on, you know, ushering this in.
And while integration is not complete yet, you know, to be able to, like I said, learn
your story, build communities together, hear where you guys originated from, really, and
like how everything really came together
how you guys basically you know push yourselves to the forefront of the space um so just been
awesome it's been really great and the quiet community itself it's uh very um you know it's uh
it's burgeoning and i think this is going to be a major unlock for more communities to not only
join but to grow, really start from
the seed, get planted, and then grow into what really could be the next big thing.
Absolutely. And I will say one of our core tenets from the very beginning has been privacy.
And so a lot of teams that have tried other tools, I will tell you, this is unexpected and I'm so proud of
it. For us, it's like privacy is just who we are. We don't share member data, just the beginning
and the end of it. We never understood that that was a controversial take until recently when we've
had very large communities and chains come back to us
and make us their exclusive community partners because of that. Privacy now is becoming more
important in our space. I'm grateful for that. And I recently put a post out. I don't know if
we'll be able to get it on. We'll see. Or otherwise, I'll share it separately. But about how we do not share member data and others in our space have not chosen that path.
And so, you know, we're just very, very proud of that. Your data belongs to you. And we will,
we are looking for ways and thinking of ways where we're going to be able to share a monetization of
data in the future. I think we all should be thinking about that instead of just going down the same
advertising role as whole as traditional web two. Like how can we take our data and be paid for it
when people use it? Let's figure that out together. And so that's something that CloudLine's also
thinking about. But as far as your data being shared, that's just never going to happen. And it hasn't happened for five years,
and we have no desire to do that. So that's just one of the core principles. And I wanted to make
sure everyone understood that because I didn't realize it was something that had to be said,
but most recently I've realized it is something that has to be said. So yeah, your data is safe with us.
And of course, you have to watch out for imposters.
There are plenty of ways to make sure
that you are not involved with an imposter bot.
So please follow us on Collabland.
We're always sharing information about just repeating,
honestly, just repeating information
about how to make sure that you're verifying
with the correct bot.
So if there's anything to watch out for with Collabland, it is that.
It's that whenever a project, and this started happening to us in October of 2021, after we hit a million verified wallets.
It's almost like we got into the category of big crypto projects.
And then once you get into that level or category, then you have the imposters.
So Collablan itself, it has been, we are not, I mean, we've been doing this for five years,
no vulnerabilities, no attacks, no anything.
But our biggest issue is one that our uneducated or brand new people are dealing with is imposters.
So that's true for us. That's true for any bot. That's true for any crypto project. Please, please just make sure you verify that
you're educating yourself before you dive in to anything, before you sign anything. Talk to people,
make sure, like come to the Collabland Twitter account. It's here right now. You can see it.
Twitter account, it's here right now. You can see it. Just go to our link tree, make sure that
you're like going with the same one. If you've already connected with Colemlin in the past,
then we have all your information. You will see it. When you go to the bot, it should all be there.
If you're connecting with a bot that doesn't have your information, that's not us. So just a little,
I know I don't want to put a blanket or wet blanket on this, but I just think it's super duper important for us to all know, regardless of if we have committed any atrocities, which we have not.
And we, like I said, we are very safe and secure and have not ever had a vulnerability in five years, but imposters are insane and you just have to be careful.
But imposters are insane.
And you just have to be careful.
And when a new community comes on, especially, maybe we can work together to try to educate your community.
Because that's what really, really is the most painful for us.
I will tell you as a team.
Is we can't get to everybody.
We can't educate everybody.
Most likely people click on something wrong and then tell us.
And we're like, oh, it was not the right thing.
So just watch out for that. Just a little reminder on a friday sorry to get too mom-like
but yeah that's all no that's good stuff really appreciate all the sentiment christopher and uh
you know the heads up you know the the dyor nfa caveats uh those are expected. And you're right, privacy is definitely a hot topic these
days. We're learning that as well. Obviously, our community understands our take on privacy
with Qi. We have cash-like privacy on chain, but Kauai is completely transparent,
on chain. But QI is completely transparent. And there are definitely some scammers out there.
So keep your eyes peeled for all of that. Man, you know, one of the things I just learned,
Alan, and then I'll toss the mic over to you. I believe you have speaker status. I'll just say
this real quick. We have a birthday coming up in up in the quiet network discord so hopefully we can get this integration rolled out before september i i'm sure that's
totally possible uh we could probably do something pretty cool with that uh so uh yeah that that's
something i'm gonna pencil in right here it's gonna be i think pavel said four years in september so
that's a pretty big milestone.
All right.
Okay.
Sorry about that.
I'm rambling.
Go ahead, Alan.
Feel free to chime in here.
Yeah.
Hey, guys.
Glad to be on Quiet Friday today.
Be sure you share the space.
Let's get some more people in here.
I think definitely an exciting topic for everyone to jump in on.
I don't know if NFTs are fully back yet.
So I think getting ahead of this integration is going to be key for when they are.
And I know Kawhi has a emerging and budding NFT community.
So I'm excited for Collabland to support that.
And just exciting time in the market, guys.
Bitcoin's at all-time highs.
Things are crushing.
So the Kawhi community here is plugging away with integrations and activations and making
sure that we lay the groundwork.
We lay the foundation for when the time is right and we can onboard everybody into the
ecosystem.
So it's going to be great.
Again, just want to say kudos to the team and Collabland for working with us on this.
This is something that I think is a necessity in the community for security and access.
So for us, getting more collections, getting more servers, getting more ways in which we
can provide that authenticity, provide that ownership, provide that verifiability is going
to be key.
So I'm super stoked about this.
I think everyone else should be as well.
I think it just shows that, you know, the builders are putting in the work, putting
in the effort and working on building a great community and ecosystem.
So I just wanted to chime in briefly on that, you know, as a longtime Collabland user, as
a pudgy, as someone that loves NFTs and experiments with all sorts of the sort of DGEN possibilities out there,
I think this is something that we've had on the roadmap for a while, and it's exciting to see get done.
So, yeah, excited to be on the space.
Looking forward to the other topics, seeing what we can address, and appreciate everyone listening in.
Thanks, Alan.
Yeah, second, all of the above.
This is definitely going to be a huge unlock for our community. So we'll stay close with Collabland. You know, shout out to our community and all the ambassadors that pushed for this.
make sure that all your questions are answered and all your needs are met. Speaking of which,
we have a lot of communities down here in the audience today who already have their own Discord
servers. The chats are popping down there. We got Kwai Boss up on stage here. I'll pass the mic over
to him here in a second. I just want to call out some of the we got a lot of quiet miners
down there in the audience alpha mine uh is is a mining pool that's actually integrated with some
of our nfts already to provide uh some authentic uh authentication and uh some additional benefits
there so super excited for for everybody to be able to unlock some additional value in their communities.
best practices or features that, you know, they haven't considered or you see as super beneficial
and something they should be looking at here in the near future when the integration comes online?
Oh, that's a good question. I will say just best practices is have a general chat that's open to
everyone. You don't want to have a server that you come into and is completely locked down.
That's sus.
And so you don't want that.
And also, I will just give you some facts.
Only about 15 to 20% of people in collab line communities are even verified.
Most of them, at least in overall, generally in Discord, not on Telegram, because Telegram, you can't do that.
But on Discord, people join just to learn. That's where they are. They want to see what the vibes are. They want to
see what the community is. And they want to know what's going on. And so you want to be able to
have private spaces for holders, of course, and the most invested holders, of course, you're going
to want to probably hear from them. But as far as a general chat is concerned,
and some spaces where people that are non-holders can participate,
I think is really important.
Having that kind of progress,
like gamified progress that you can have within your server
is very exciting for people.
I mean, everything needs to be gamified, right?
Like yesterday, I was talking to somebody
who was telling me about steps,
and there's a thing called step-in, and you can exercise and earn tokens. I was like, right? Like yesterday, I was talking to somebody who was talking, telling me about steps and there's a thing called step in and you can like exercise and earn tokens. I was like, what?
Like it's exercise is not its own reward. People want tokens for that. But everyone's, everything
is gamified. Maybe even punch cards when you buy sandwiches, I don't know. So you want to think
about that having an open space. That's number one. Having people, like, encourage people who are members.
If you can identify people that want to help, give them access, give them roles.
This is a space that really, if you're interested and you're curious and you put in the work, you have an opportunity to grow, even possibly build a career.
I will say on my team, people have come through communities.
People in the audience who I recognize have come up through communities and are now leaders in
the space. Like projects should identify those people and help groom those people into being
leaders in the community. People that come in through membership first are going to be your
biggest advocates and are going to care the most and really are going to reflect your true values. So those are my two biggest tips. I will say number
one, general chat, keep it open, have private places, but have a general area. And number two,
you know, keep an eye out, reward the people and give more authority to people that you see are the
ones that are always helping. The ones that are coming in with new ideas, identify them, because they're the ones that are going to help you grow.
And so, yeah, I'd say one and two.
I was not prepared for this question, but these are the two at the top of my mind.
Those are good tips.
Really appreciate it.
Awesome.
Okay, last question here before I pass the mic. Mike, is there anything, any upcoming features or, you know, probably some aspects of Collabland that you would love to see communities use more than they currently do?
Yeah, we just launched a new feature.
It's only for EVM chains right now, but I will tell you that we're going to be growing them as well. But we have a new feature that we just initiated called Smart Tag, which is really for those
general audience people that don't already have a token or a wallet and are really just
crypto curious, like I described.
One thing we've noticed with Kaleblen over the years is that there's too many people
just waiting on the sidelines and don't know how to get in.
They want to, but they don't
know how. They hear the name, they join the Discord server, and then they're lost because
making a wallet and figuring that all out, saving your private key, it's just too much of a burden.
I mean, do I wish everyone did it? Yes. But is everyone doing it? No. And it's cutting us out
of a huge number of people, a giant part of the population that can't figure that part out or is too afraid to figure that out, but wants to be a part of crypto.
And so one thing that we launched is called Smart Tag.
And that was just from years of trying to figure out how to unlock this.
But within Smart Tag, if your chain is integrated, and hopefully we'll be able to integrate QI at some point, hopefully soon. Then people can send QI tokens
to one another in Discord just using their username. And when they're sent, a wallet is
created for them. And so I would send Matt some QI tokens just using his username.
Matt does not have to already have a wallet. A non-custodial wallet is created for him.
does not have to already have a wallet, a non-custodial wallet is created for him,
then he can have those tokens in his Discord-enabled wallet, right, social login wallet.
And then maybe when it gets up to being, you know, $5, $10, $100, then he'll be motivated
to create another wallet outside of Discord with a private key that he owns separately,
and then he can send those tokens to that new wallet.
And so we really wanted to create a way to onboard all of these people that are just
waiting.
How do we do that?
How do we get more people into this space?
Onboarding is something we should all be focused on.
It's something that's mattered to Collabland from the beginning and now we finally have
the tech to be able to get here.
So that's something new right now.
We only have Arbitrum, Optimism Base, and Linea integrated.
We have a couple of more that are coming up.
I'd love to see Kawhi getting into that loop.
Maybe not right away.
We're still starting on token gating.
But in the future, we're very excited about that.
One of the major unlocks of doing that, number one, is onboarding.
Unlocks of doing that, number one is onboarding, but also they're all on-chain transactions.
But also, they're all on-chain transactions.
And so every movement of your token within Discord from person to person is actually an on-chain transaction, which makes the token activity grow for everybody to see.
Everyone's going to be able to see how active your community is from within a secret space, right?
Like it used to be discord was a secret space.
None of that was on chain, but now we're bringing like that on chain activity into communities so
that communities can not have that additional hurdle of going somewhere else and trying to,
um, raise a token activity, but can do it from within their own community. Anyway,
that's our latest thing. Love it. That's super cool. Um, I'm getting all sorts of ideas now, but I won't derail this.
We got a couple ambassadors, some KWI ambassadors up on stage here. I know
KWI Boss has got a budding community. It's actually pretty active. I think you even just
announced some ambassadors for KWI Boss. So I know you've been in the space for some time, Kwaibos.
You want to share some thoughts on this collaboration
and how potentially you'll be leveraging Collabland
in the near future, hopefully?
Yes, sir.
Yeah, thanks for having me, everyone.
Thanks, Collabland, for being here with us.
No, it's exciting.
You know, being that and building our community
for the last five or six months,
it's exciting to kind of segue into utilizing NFTs into our Discord
and having some type of accessibility and special rights.
This is exactly what we've been looking for and what we needed.
So when we were about to release our NFTs for Flappy Boss, which is our game, and then also Kwi Boss itself, those NFTs will have, you know, special rights and access.
So yeah, I'm very keen to collab land previously with other projects in the different ecosystems.
So, you know, being able to utilize that with Kwi Network is just like, you know, exactly, you know, like the next step to us
building our project as well.
So yeah, it's exciting.
100%, really appreciate that Koi Boss.
It kind of raises a question.
I know we've been talking a whole lot about NFTs
and I have an assumption about ERC-20s,
but Anjali, maybe you could expand on that a little bit. Are ERC20s or I guess fungible tokens also supported by Collabland?
2020, what we saw the biggest use of ERC20 tokens and since the meme coin season of last year, yes,
a ton of meme coin communities have come up, I mean, last year and the year before as well
with meme coins. So yes, people make communities with meme coins. People back in 2020, DeFi summer
when they first started doing it is for whale communities. I mean, like I mentioned whales
earlier, but having your whales together in a chat,
having just your holders together
and having your whales together
makes a big difference.
You can really make a lot of change
and make a lot of movement
just having your holders together.
So yeah, ERC20s for sure.
I mean, now we, in the NFT space,
yes, we have 1155s.
We also support some gaming tokens.
ERC, I think it's called ERC20C.
So we have a bunch of token standards.
We probably have the most token standards of
any token gating tool, but ERC20
was the very first one, and people
continue to make communities
based on ERC20s.
Heck yeah. Good to know.
Awesome. Awesome.
Alright, we also got Peanut up
on stage here.
I know Peanut's a huge JPEG junkie.
Peanut, did you have any thoughts you wanted to share?
Any, you know, things you're excited to see in some of the communities you've been hanging out in?
Yeah, thanks. Thanks again for the space.
Love, love to be here, honestly, to see this collaboration, you know, between, you know, I think again, obviously Kwai, um, you know, have been connected to you guys for the last several
months, you know, a big part of my journey and definitely a place I call, I call home.
And then obviously collab land too. I know Christopher and a bunch of you guys have been
sharing and posting. And I mean, this is just huge. I mean, it's big news. And I know, again, just hearing a little bit more as well,
I believe it was mentioned that a lot of communities,
I think somebody had said that a lot aren't necessarily verified
or have necessarily the backing or official support.
So the fact that we can have a space,
I know that there's been articles that have gone out.
It's really just cool to, again,
see the fruits of, you know, hard labor
and, you know, investing in friendships
and connections like this.
So really it's just, it's fun to see.
So again, between, you know, both sides,
it's honestly just incredible
that we have this type of alignment and synergy
with people across the board. And so, yes, as you were saying, Matt, definitely still
a JPEG junkie. So, you know, buying and collecting NFTs as much as I tell myself I'm not going to.
I mean, I just, I love to support other people in the space, like minor individuals that are
pushing forward in the space in a healthy and constructive way.
I think we can all agree there's something very unique that NFTs have done, not only in this space, but in the world,
that I don't believe any other vehicle or asset has really been able to do.
Again, like NFTs, just kind of a take that I heard from Liana Bood,
who's the founder over at Unfungible, a great person in the space. So I definitely look up
to what he has to say. Point being said, you know, when we can have an integration like this
into Discord, again, as it was laid out, it helps in so many different ways that, you know,
I don't think certain people necessarily realize, you know, There can be, again, a general chat, obviously,
or certain places where everyone's welcome.
But I think we all enjoy and cherish
when certain things are a little bit more exclusive.
And again, I know a big part of that, obviously,
is being able to have something as smooth and great as Collabland
to verify assets, to quickly do so,
and for people to know that, you know,
Hey, I'm in something limited or exclusive. I mean, really that's what it comes down to being
able to, you know, verify assets. And, and then again, really being able to have support is,
is huge. So again, just a big thank you to everyone that had their hand in this process.
And again, obviously, too, just...
I don't know how to pronounce your name.
Is it Anjali?
Am I saying that right now?
Yes.
Awesome.
That's right.
Well, it's a pleasure to meet you.
Seriously, thank you for everything that you've done as well
to make this happen with the team here at Quai Network.
And like I said, it's fun to know that there's official support here.
And again, most importantly, again, just to be able to have a safe haven a safe place for people to hang out in
discord like I said to have certain channels that are exclusive that again I think at the end of
the day it like I said it makes people feel special and they have certain areas to to share
thoughts and have open conversations where you you know, maybe those conversations wouldn't happen otherwise or in a general chat.
And so, again, those are just kind of some of my thoughts based on, you know, the number of different discords, the hundreds or thousands I'm sure that you guys have been into.
And it's, again, really just fun to see the way, again, that the community members have gotten excited about it,
other ambassadors, the team.
So, yeah, those are just kind of some thoughts across the board.
No real questions really at this time,
but just sentiment and appreciation, again,
for both sides putting this together.
Again, honestly, it's just a blast.
So it gives me another reason to jump into more Discords.
I got to go through a little bit of a decluttering process and make more room for stuff.
But I at least know that, you know, there's the technical support for anyone that, again, is creating a community or wants to scale something through Discord or, you know, again, maybe it's other platforms.
You know, again, maybe it's other platforms, but obviously we're talking about Discord here.
But obviously, we're talking about Discord here.
You know, it's just it's it's nice to know, again, that, you know, people can take that next step in terms of solidifying and growing an ecosystem.
Again, I think something that we all appreciate being able to verify assets and be in the right place in the right time.
So thanks again, you guys.
That's right. And I will say, yes, Discord.
But we do see a lot of Telegram communities coming out of Discord communities. So you start in the Discord server and then you get a group of people that you're all working on something together, then you go to Telegram. So either you can stay in Discord or you can move to Telegram. There's a lot of flexibility here on where you'd like to be. But yeah, that's absolutely true. It really, at the end of the day,
is we get to put a heart into crypto. Back in 2023, Kalevalon made a series of documentaries
called Let's Form Group. You could find them on YouTube. And it really highlighted crypto
communities of that time, some of our communities at that time and it's like people don't know that what
this is really about this is about people coming together maybe non-traditional people that are
maybe a little bit disillusioned with the current establishment and wanting to try something new
wanting more opportunities for everybody wanting new connections like. It's a whole new way of being
and it attracts a certain type of people.
And crypto communities specifically
allow you to meet your people.
And it really allows you to have that.
I mean, just logistically,
it gives you that stickiness, right?
We want people to stick around
because what we're doing here
is something world-changing,
transformative, revolutionary.
We need people that are going to be with us.
And so it allows that stickiness, but it also gives that human side, which is where I'm the happiest.
So, yeah. Thanks.
I love that. I'll weigh in just really quickly.
NFTs are a huge part of the QI network and the QI team.
I actually joined pretty recently, maybe about five months ago.
And one of the first things I analyzed outside of our DeFi ecosystem was the fact that the NFT communities were where most of the community was unsurprisingly hanging out and growing and commiserating and forming bonds and building upon each other.
And I think what's really important here is,
I don't know if you want to call it like stamp of approval
or stamp of authenticity or just recognition,
but having Collabland as being kind of that arbiter
or however you want to put it
to allow people into some of these communities
and verifying they're safe,
verifying they're actually part of,
have the assets they say they are,
part of the community is huge, right?
This is our lifeblood.
This is where the roots of QI really form at the end of the day.
The NFT communities are what push us along.
It's what people identify with when people come onto QI outside of the broader mission,
which again is the energy dollar and it's separating money from state, just like, you
know, everyone else here, right?
Is the community itself.
Where do I go?
Who do I hang out with?
And if you take a look online on QI scan for instance,
and you take a look at the communities
and who holds tokens and where the people are actually at,
you'll see the NFT communities.
And so that's why I think that's why I was so requested.
Again, this came directly from the communities themselves saying, hey, this is something we're looking for.
We want to go ahead and make sure that our holders are authentic.
People are probably dealing with attacks, et cetera.
And so, yeah, again, just this is huge.
I love how, what's the right way to put it?
I guess reciprocal and the rest, not the rest of, in addition to the reciprocities, like the amicability of your team to work together, to see this through.
It's just been a pleasure and it's been an honor. And once again, huge.
I started with NFT communities back in 2021 and to see this across the finish line here, it's just awesome.
So once again, huge. and i think our out of
a few communities as they've said today some of them um are extremely thankful for this
and really looking forward to seeing this across the finish line
heck yeah man a lot of good sentiment going around i think we're all super bullish on
communities which is great uh i think we all have our own stories on how we got
involved uh yeah go ahead pavel feel free uh uh thanks thanks for it uh i can add i i i tried to
add a few sentences about what christopher said and everyone as from the side as a JPEG lover and NFT holder.
Yeah, we have good collections on QAIR Network.
I really love art and how it's been done.
how it's been done yes and this this is going to be so huge step definitely for ecosystem projects
because for example on my example yes uh i bring some of my friends from nft communities
on in kwai and first of all what they asked me where collab land how we can how we can verify it
how we can because yeah yeah it's uh you know when I joined uh nft community first time I
didn't understand it but when you're getting involved into it, when you're spending time hanging with holders, you're going to see on it from another side and you can't stay without it.
That's why it's real huge.
And that's why I'm so excited because you can build much more stronger community with these two.
This is absolutely, I, if anyone want to say me, have against me opinion, unfollow me on Twitter.
It's no chances, no chances to tell me about it because it's, it's real banger.
And I feel that it's going to be like a new breeze of fresh air in the quiet ecosystem,
because I know that we have projects, but we don't have much activity.
Yes. We don't have much activity, yes, and this integration going to be huge and a huge shoutout everyone who participated in it and much appreciated to community for support because we have a lot of them. And I feel that they are, as holders, deserve much more than be
and chatting just in simple channels.
They deserve much more from the team, from founders and something like this.
And this integration is a so good step about in such direction.
One more time.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much, Kwaite team.
Thank you so much community for everything.
I love you.
We love you, Pavel.
Yeah. And I totally agree, right?
You know, this is something we used Collabland in the past for, you know, extending Testnet to other communities.
But, you know, lacking it on Quiet Network has been a real challenge.
So we're definitely looking forward to all the unlocks we're going to get as a team in being able to form the groups we need to form to get better feedback and have better conversations.
I think it's pretty clear how valuable communities are,
how a tool like Collabland with token gating and other features
can help us form those communities.
But I don't want to forget something that Anjali said and, you know, Peanut, you touched on it and Alan also touched on it earlier. Just that, you know, badge of authenticity, if you will. You know, Web3 is a budding space. There's not really a good place to, you know, verify who people are, you know, do they actually have conviction?
And so for those newcomers who are coming into this space, I think, you know, it's pretty clear
at this point, Twitter's very noisy. Anjali, you mentioned, you know, Discord is a place people
come to learn. I totally believe that. And then having a tool like Collabland
to help them sift through,
you know, even the noise
in a busy Discord server.
It's just, it's a huge unlock
for all communities,
both informing them
and bringing new people in
and onboarding them
into their communities.
So super bullish on all of that.
We're running out of time on on you know
diving into some bigger metas on you know authenticity and authentication and stuff like
that but uh i think it's definitely a topic uh that we'll have to chat through more um because
privacy is definitely uh a big concern today um So yeah, go ahead, Pavel.
Yeah. Last question. And so I want to ask you, what about like safety classes for holders? I know
that like Kalaplant has such integrations with different communities where they can get more info,
for example, how they can verify their code wallets
and something like this, yes,
and how you should separate some spam, yes,
or something like this.
What can you say something about it? Yeah, that would be great. We would be happy to do something like this what can you say something about it yeah that would be great we
would be happy to do something like that either in the big quai server or if any communities want
to reach out to us we're happy to come in do a town hall or do any kind of like join any stage
to have a q a with your teams just let know. There's so much that we can talk about
on all different levels of how to identify scammers, but also to keep yourself safe within
Discord. Really, honestly, what mental state to be in when you are interacting in crypto.
I don't know if you remember, but there have been very big people who have been around crypto for
a very long time who do things in the middle
of the night and that's how they end up getting scammed. There's so much around that from discord
hygiene to wallet hygiene to yeah just being able to identify what's what. We'd be happy to come in
and do anything you'd like. We could do a even once a quarter let us know. I'll talk to Christopher
about that but being able to have some kind of safety classes,
that would be a dream come true.
And I will say no other chain or community has asked for that.
We put out information all the time,
hoping it gets to the right people.
We'd be thrilled to be able to direct it toward quiet
and help your communities get that information.
And then maybe you could record it
and then keep it saved or something.
That's a great idea.
Pavel, you're on one today.
Love it.
Love it.
Yeah, I wanted to shout out, you know, the website, collab.land.
I'm over here clicking through the docs and information.
There's a wealth of information on the Collabland website.
So highly encourage everybody go and check that out um okay so i
think i got uh i i really only got two more questions for you angeli um the the first is
pretty simple um what what other platforms besides discord are you on if any i think you mentioned
telegram and i believe at one point you also mentioned Twitter PFP verification.
Is that still a thing?
That's a good question.
Twitter PFP verification kind of got sunset after Twitter itself started doing NFT verification.
But we could bring it back for quiet.
Let me talk to the team about that.
I think that could be super cool that you guys could have it in your quiet Discord servers
and be able to have a verification on Twitter.
No one else is doing it right now, but maybe we can get that for Quai.
What was the other question that you had? I'm sorry. I got excited about Twitter.
Oh, Discord and Telegram. Yes. We're on Discord and Telegram right now.
Always kind of looking, but really, Discord and Telegram
keep us extremely busy um you know keep
waiting to see if another platform emerges um but it hasn't so far in the last five years nothing
has emerged with the intensity of discord and telegram and so it's been not we just want to be
where the people are and so if the people are still on Discord and Telegram, that's where we are. But the Twitter VPFB verification, I hadn't even thought about
that. We do already have it. It's just not live anywhere right now. Maybe we can bring that to
QI. So yeah, let's talk about that, Christopher, too. And I can talk to my team about that.
Yeah, that's super interesting. I must have missed that one in my crypto journey.
But that would have been cool to see.
I'm just kind of geeking out and learning right now.
I really appreciate the conversation today.
All right.
Let's see here.
Okay.
So any final thoughts from the panel at this point?
We're kind of running low on time and I've run out of questions.
This is super cool.
I'm about to jump back into our Discord server and harass all the ambassadors to find out what we should do next.
We definitely need to celebrate an upcoming birthday.
That's for sure.
I love that.
Yeah, I'll just close out by saying it.
First, once again, absolute honor to work with you, Anjali,
and bring this across the finish line.
Yeah, absolutely looking forward to continuing collaboration
and kind of expanding where needed.
And of course, the next space that we're going to have together
in about a month or so or whatever,
we actually have the integration finished.
Second, I just want to go ahead and say thank you to the community.
This is really you.
This is your win.
This isn't our win.
This is a little bit of a collab, Adrian, right?
Yeah, it's awesome.
But it's really the community's win, right?
Like you guys asked for this.
This is what you need.
These are the tools we want to empower you with.
And we have delivered.
And once again, continue to do so.
Like Matt said, let us know what you need.
We're here to build from the roots.
We want to grow into a giant tree, giant whatever you want to say here in terms of plan of life and continue to blossom.
And these are the types of tools that if you need them,
we want to make sure that we can provide them for you.
And then third, just thanks for everyone for showing up today.
All of our communities, you know, we've got some burgeoning ones that the quiet miners, quiet club that, you know, really could,
you know, utilize us.
So thanks for showing up.
Yes, really appreciate that.
And of course, thanks to you, Matt, for hosting another great quiet Friday.
Love it.
Thanks, Christopher. Thank you so much, Anjali, for the time hosting another great Quai Friday. Love it. Thanks, Christopher.
Thank you so much, Anjali, for the time today.
Let's see here.
Quai Boss, for usual, give me a thumbs up if you're good to wrap us out.
And I'll just remind everybody, keep your eyes peeled for news on this integration as
it rolls out.
The team is getting to work on it right now.
Definitely want to give Collabland a follow.
Give Quai Network a follow to stay tuned for all of that.
Those of you hanging out in the Discord,
time to go check out collab.land.
Start combing through those docs
and find out how you can really unlock
some additional value and engagement
and growth for your communities in Discord and Telegram.
We also have Telegram groups.
I always forget about them.
That's my problem.
I got to work on that.
But looking at you, you know, Alpha Mine, all the Kwai Miners down there.
There's other communities.
I think Kwai Penguins is still around.
Kwai Mark is our nft
marketplace they have a discord i think they actually also use collab land for some
verification steps which is super cool they're already ready to go
let's see here quiet mates quiet pepe's i'm rocking a quiet pepe right now uh i was kind
of excited about verifying my profile on twitter maybe that's coming
maybe not i'll keep my eyes peeled for that uh but really appreciate the time today and uh thank you everybody for coming if you're new to quiet network uh again definitely check uh check us out give us
a follow if you're trying to get your hands on some quai we're traded on mexy gate io and lbank
We're traded on Mexi, Gate, IO, and LBank.
We're coming soon to Kraken.
We're on the Kraken roadmap.
We have lots of updates in the pipeline.
You hear from me pretty much every day of the week now.
So I'll save it here and pass the mic over to Kawhi Boss to send us out.
Thanks again, Angeli.
