Thank you. Welcome, welcome everybody
hey what's going on guys thanks for having us tonight um friday nights are historically
horrible for spaces for um almost everybody so but we are ready to rock so i just put out a tweet and uh i also just told
the whole discord and sort of little whiz to get their butts in here nice i you cut out a little
bit when you said friday nights are notoriously and what was that i said friday nights are just
notoriously horrible for spaces for us oh really okay yeah it's it's our one of our first fridays
we had been doing sundays and that was a
little rough so good to know though yeah sunday sundays fridays i i honestly feel obviously i
know you guys are literally on spaces all the time um i always feel like spaces do the best
monday through monday through thursday usually for for us anyway yeah for sure I can believe that well but we're here
we're excited we'll make it all yeah and if we don't get a big turnout we can wrap it up and
you guys meant it out right yeah yeah we've been minted out for almost for I think about four
weeks or five weeks now. That's awesome.
Well,
if we don't get a big turnout,
then I guess maybe our Thursday space is like an open chill and chill,
but we could have like a scheduled feature so we can make sure to get you
guys like a good audience.
Cool.
Yeah.
Sounds good.
I think a lot of our,
a lot of our community is like out on Friday nights doing the the thing you know yeah for sure um i'm uh i don't do that so much anymore with the family but i used
to be that guy yeah i don't do that anymore but i don't know what my excuses work i guess
my version i see i see i just say my version of an exciting friday was I went to go get pizza.
Hey, dude, that's like how it is now.
I mean, I still have some beers and stuff at my house.
But yeah, once you have kids, it's like that's game over.
Until they're like in high school.
I was going to ask Mystic, should we play a couple songs and then we'll get in or what do you want to do?
Yeah, I got a couple picked out so I'll roll a couple
through and
Adam, will you tell me in the
in our telegram how the music sounds?
I got you.
Alright, I'll replace two songs
and then we'll get clacking.
Here we go. second. ДИНАМИЧНАЯ МУЗЫКА so do
do so
so Switch up. so so и и
и I'm going to go. Thank you. Hello, welcome to the show. so so
oh so Thank you. so
so Oops.
Turned one off and there goes the other well everybody welcome welcome yeah fridays i always say this but it's all good let's let's make it let's make let's do
the best that we can you know for long as we can i mean this has been uh kind of a curse of ours since since we started um everybody is at
the bar well we're at the club we're at the quack hub so oh yeah we can just kick it too i don't
want to you guys don't have to like do your um you know spiel in front of just like you know y'all
and us so if you oh we don't mind we don't we don't want i see i see justin just'all and us. We don't mind.
I see Justin's here and we can definitely drop some development updates
and stuff what's going on with us.
We don't have any problem with that.
I did have some questions on this stablecoin
though. I'm a little
interested. I want to hear a little bit.
Yeah, and I want to just
show Adam real quick for a second.
Adam works with major
if you um you know major trending on the token side of things um so yeah not on abstract yet
unfortunately but yeah abstract is a is a very interesting chain they've had a
they've had a like a rough week it's been been a really rough week for Abstract. They had their main account hacked yesterday.
Not a huge deal because everybody put out the radar that there has been a hacker,
and nobody should interact with anything or any of the fake tokens they kept trying to pump.
But it was really interesting to see that somebody was able to actually hack their X account.
That's pretty crazy it's obviously like really bad um on the founders that they didn't put like 2fa in
order kind of lazy right i'm just like yeah on a major account like that but at the end of the day
i'm not gonna like sit here and bad mouth i mean it happens to the best of people i've seen like
major major nft project discords get hacked and all kinds of crazy shit like over my my time in crypto so you know you can't really dwell on it but it was really crazy
and then earlier in the week they got blamed for being you know in on this token the scam token
that they obviously were not a part of so you know there's just there was a lot of people bad
mouthing abstract all week but hey that comes with getting big that comes with you know that
comes with growth you're gonna have a lot of haters you're gonna have a lot of enemies i mean that's like
par for the course right there's always gonna be something going on um yeah dude there's not one
week in this space where i'm just like i live in the simulation yeah i uh i feel you there well
i'm gonna bring it back to mystic to kind of take us in further, but I, yeah, I'm definitely interested. I got some questions on abstract. I want to be educated. I haven't made the leap yet to explore too much. So I'm taking it from that point. But yeah, go ahead, Mystic.
Yeah, you know, I haven't actually either. The most I have done is get a wallet so that I could get myself a dragon.
I have done is get a wallet so that I could get myself a dragon.
That's for the, I might need to make that jump today. That's the,
that's the minted out now. It's pretty wild. I know. I saw.
Yeah. It's been a, it's been a definite journey. Um, and you know,
I was in the salon of dead space the other day and I, it's,
it's just, just being consistent consistent just being there i mean we
we we were fortunate enough to get manned out but like i mean it's still a grind i mean we're at a
you know we're at a dry point during all the development right now too like with sales like
there's you know people are just waiting to actually see that we're going to deploy something
you know like or you know that's the whole big question in this space is are you actually
building or are you just trying to drag people along you know so
dude for sure I definitely feel that that's it was like when we first started they're like all
right come back in a month and so then we're like yeah we're still here it's been a month and then
they're like all right well talk to me again in six months and you're like oh my gosh like are
you gonna believe that I'm you know the trust has just been so broken in this space and it's understandable.
Yeah, totally.
Yeah, I honestly like I feel that that will is starting to get like pretty established with us. People do see that we're building and obviously we have some of the best builders in the space that like working on this with us.
And there, you know, can you actually hand Justin the mic?
Let's get him a microphone. Yeah, he's's up there um okay it says he's a listener on mine but maybe i said bad bad service or
something but um but yeah the trust thing is real it's it is hard it is a hard barrier to like
break through you know i think that's what the abstract team is pretty much waiting on us you
know for right now like anybody can say hey i'm building a stable coin waiting on us, you know, for right now, like anybody can say, Hey, I'm building a stable coin. And we have a, you know,
we have a corridor, which is our, our, you know,
we hate saying the word swap because it's so, it's so generic.
So we're calling it the corridor. You want to call it something different.
But I think they're waiting to see that, you know,
they're waiting to actually see that it's been deployed and these guys are not,
they're not scammers. They're're they're doing everything that they said and i think that that is what people definitely wait for um in this space
i mean if you're in the inner circle of these people and you know you watch these nfts just go
crazy but it's we're you know we're not we're not quite in the inner circle yet so um we gotta we
gotta earn that trust and that's just a big part of's just a big part of building anything, you know?
And that's what people want to see.
So once we get this built, deployed,
there's a lot of really cool things we can do with the Central Brothers.
They have a whole ecosystem already built themselves.
And we're very excited that they're going to integrate Dragon Punks
and Abstract into their world.
And it's really cool to be a part of it.
Justin, can you hear me in my main?
I can hear you, bro. What's up? Oh, there you are. What's up?
Oh, yeah. I just wanted to say what's up. Happy Friday, bro.
I'm out here. I don't know if you guys can hear. I'm in South Carolina. You can hear
the cicadas. They're all around me. Yeah, I love it. Are they
coming my way? I'm in South Florida. I feel like they're out around me yeah are they are they coming my way i'm in south florida i feel like
they're uh yeah they're dude i had one on my door the other day like x like exiting its exoskeleton
like it made my wife like give my give my wife nightmares that's a good way to come i got a
pretty cool picture of it i was like get the hell off my door you're just screaming at an exoskeleton i'm like no i know the whole thing the fresh dude was
coming out of it it's a pretty cool picture it's on our uh i think it's on our timeline but um but
yeah they're like everywhere down here right now yeah they're coming they're definitely coming to
y'all so i remember i used to live in Arizona. Loud as hell. Yeah.
I'm surprised.
I don't know if you can hear that or not.
I basically live in a forest.
So they're like, yeah. I used to hear that.
That would help me fall asleep.
My dad would be playing guitar, like acoustic.
And all the cicadas would be.
And I was like, what is that, dad?
And he would always make up.
Yeah, they're loud.
They are some loud ass bugs.
I mean, I'm from colorado so like all these bugs are like i'm just like dude
kill it with fire but at the end of the day i'm like they're all just in their own ecosystem you
know but it's okay the ducks will take care of it that's what we do you know yeah yeah hey the
ducks will eat those big that's a big juicy steak oh my gosh dude
prime prime rib over there okay now i'm hungry for sure um i'll read i mean i'll read justin
can correct me if uh if i'm wrong but i'll go ahead and read a little little bit about draco
um like you so usdr is minteded native to abstract from native USDC.
It's backed by Circle on base, so the user must go from base USDC through the corridor bridge,
and they will have the USDR Draco native abstract token to swap to.
This is how USDR is minted.
The reverse process can also happen, leaving abstract and returning to base.
The USDR Draco is burned when going from abstract back to USD on base.
This retains the one-to-one value, so it's one-to-one, and it is backed by circle, which is awesome.
The corridor bridge will have a competitive bridging fee.
Likely this fee will be slightly higher.
When leaving abstract, these fees are going to be used to fund our staking rewards pool for holders.
So people that are holding Draco, there is going to be a pretty awesome staking mechanism,
which basically doesn't really happen that much anymore on stable coins from what I feel.
I know that you can on coinbase
and stuff but you know we want to do better than that we want to give you know we want to give more
we want people we want to incentivize people to use the token um so i don't know justin if you
have anything to to kind of add to that on that on that plane um my bad dude i was outside just
like swinging in the hammock i was coding i was coding hard
all day today but uh that sounds great yeah it was fun i mean i get the loving i mean i love it
i'm not even gonna complain i'm just wore out it was a long week i had a had to help uh rescue
a client's work this morning from some scammers so it was a little bit of a crazy chaotic morning, you know, but no,
I'm here. I'm about to crack a beer, cook on the grill after this convo.
But yeah, it will be, I mean,
the corridor is pretty extensive on the build. So, you know,
I think we posted a few updates in the discord server about what's currently
going on. You know,
we have a meeting with the DP team every week for about three and a half hours
on development,
just critiquing certain things and what they kind of came up with and some
ideas and just kind of like forming those ideas into the future growth and
thinking about the future growth and thinking about
the future and down the road. So there's some things that they're, they're like really excited
about and we're like, ah, but if we go that route, we're going to have this. So they're,
they're really, really great about just, you know, talking to and saying, Hey, if we do that,
we'll cap ourselves here. We should do this, stay exclusive here so we can grow into these aspects,
let other people adopt it. But yeah, it's going to be pretty quick for
the corridor. It's simultaneously running three oracles that we're building from scratch on the
back end for replay attacks, certain things. We will have a cap of 100 grand per transaction.
of a hundred grand per transaction. And so that'll be both ways from base to abstract and
from abstract to base. So the main goal essentially would be to allow other big companies to adopt it.
And when they do, then they can come in. Let's say they want to get a hundred thousand dollar
transaction. They can come in with a $100,000
transaction. They can go over onto, we're looking at a few different options, but they can hit over,
I'm just going to put it out there. They can hit over like Pandora.fund. They can start like an
L3 or an L4 pool, which will be totally adaptable to that, encouraging people to put liquidity in.
So they're essentially earning rewards in multiple different
ways. So they'll be earning rewards from directly out of the Unisplot protocols there on the L3 and
L4s. And yeah, so I would say so far right now, we're shooting for next week to have the two
founders over there, Sam and Paul, to have their computers ready, getting them set up on some abstract test environments and everything over there.
Going to load them up with some test USDC as well, probably about a couple hundred thousand dollars a piece, and have them start testing the corridors.
We've been making corridor swaps, but for right now, everything's going to be backed on chain.
It doesn't mean in the future, because I'm not going to say too much, because we haven't solidified some other small plans.
But the, right now, they're for complete 100% transparency.
Everything from the corridor and all the oracles are logged directly on the site.
So you'll see an exact one
of one that's happening there. So if let's say the USD side of the pool was off and having a
little bit more value, you would see that exact one of one shift to a one, two or anything, but
you know, we have it strictly sedatory cannot. So you'll see exactly what's sitting in the treasury
over on base to exactly what's been produced over on abstract.
And they'll always match through exact one-on-one.
And there'll be a list of nonstop loading transactions that'll be there directly below it.
Each one has a unique NUNS number, direct signatures attached to them.
And you can view them directly on chain as well.
So you can see all the transactions, everything.
So when you go to the corridor, you can just 100% transparency, glass house, you know, you're in one place on the DAP and the ecosystem.
And you can just monitor everything going on.
So you don't have to sit here and chase around, verify on chain, pop from spot to spot, go check on base.
Our goal is to just, you know, really keep it super transparent because right now everything's 100% going to be backed on chain.
In the future, you know, just like Circle or anything else, you know, we've been having these talks is, you know, when they go through their legal aspects and everything that the hoops you have to jump through for the stable that will be on, you know, for USDR on Abstract.
They will, you know, we're talking about implementing our Stripe credit card tech into their site.
That's to be way later down the road, though, once we get the applications and everything done with regulations.
But you'll be able to essentially, right, like swap cash for usdr and produce it in that way
uh and vice versa go back and forth so um we do have some really big plans for it um and the
corridor since we're since we're now connecting base to abstract we want to be able to and they're
both l2s uh we want to be able to have you know this will be down the road and just just sharing
this information but where we want to be able to intertwine our ecosystems to where they're working together like actually working
together you know bring your dp and a tease over into our ecosystem or bring our stable that we're
gonna be putting on base over into the dp ecosystem so we got a lot of really great plans but of course
we're starting with phase one being the corridor, phase two being the staking.
And yeah, we're super excited.
It is pretty quick.
It's moving pretty fast.
We'll see how fast the transactions are when there's tons flowing through.
But we'll continue to constantly progress the Oracle on the back end.
Sounds super cool. I was just going to ask a few questions here, but
is this the first time this corridor has been used on a project you guys have
kind of collabed on or what does that look like?
No, we just built this from scratch.
Yeah, right from the time we just like, you know, had the idea.
Yeah, for real yeah i mean i
don't know it's what i'd have like we were chatting and they were going to go a different
uh routing option and i kind of like persuaded them a little bit towards like hey you know
let's make a bang on abstract you know there's there's a little certain things that are not there
like there's you know this token gating these other aspects um they are
getting you know a reputation as uh sam was just mentioning here earlier and some people are you
know there's always gonna be haters absolutely you know i mean any fomo is good fomo but i mean
we hate the bad fomo right or anything there's like there's one type of the hate base and i love
base right and there's always i hate solana and there's other people that love Solana.
I mean, to each it's, um, um, but yeah, no, we,
once we kind of like started solidifying certain things coming up with an
actual game plan over like four different meet, uh, you know, we,
it was like almost a month of just nonstop chatting. Um,
just knocking out the Google doc and the plans and the diagrams and solidifying the first phases.
It was like a giant plan. And I was like, all right, now let's break this down in phases.
And so phase one, corridor, phase two, staking, and so forth, moving on. If Sam wants to share
a little bit more about some of the other stuff, he can, but we have our payment solutions.
We're really big with bridging gaps
and at Eat Denver and building on base
and for Coinbase as contractors and other chains
and ArcBlock and ABT, a whole bunch of others.
And we see problems that people just skip over
and we build tools to solve those problems.
And there's a lot of projects out there
that see those tools as value and a lot of projects out there that see those tools
as value and a lot of companies that are coming on chain and using those. So it's really, I think
it's about time. And it's really cool that these guys are open to using those tools, like some of
our on-chain, you know, small credit card stuff to our on-chain payments with Stripe and bringing
Web3 payments anywhere, essentially like a PayPal mafia of Web3.
And it's super cool that, you know, we already have three companies in IRL we brought on chain from our lawyers that are using it.
So it'd be really awesome to just kind of see a project on Abstract, you know, bring
value, bring value, a lot of the projects, use it, build with it and use it within their
own ecosystems.
Yeah, no, I'll throw out like probably 80% of Abstract is gambling. and use it within their own ecosystems. Yeah.
I'll throw out like probably 80% of abstract is gambling right now.
And we want to bring – yeah, a lot of them. But we want to bring like a real-world use case and solve problems.
That's definitely the number one goal.
And that's kind of how me and Primal Darkal dark of what you know his name you know me and paul have always been
um for crypto and uh you know that the whole the whole story of how we uh you know we got
involved with the central brothers is uh it's pretty crazy but um i do believe in fate and i
believe that like certain people are brought together to, to do things in life.
And it's, it's, it's, it's a privilege being able to work with them.
Um, he's, he said that I may want to talk about some future things.
Um, we do, we, we may be dropping our rot wings collection a lot sooner, um, than we,
than October.
We, we're, we're probably looking maybe like mid July, um, possibly into July, um, right
now.
And that's going to be a really cool collection.
I know Solana Deads is in here.
They got to actually, a couple of guys from the group,
it's looking like there's going to be a Solana Deads Rotwing collab in the collection.
So they got to see some of the art today.
And they were pretty, they're pretty stoked on it as well.
I know Justin has seen the art um we have you know obviously all of our all of our tight-knit circle is keeping that art in a
you know bottled up and it's not for public use right now but uh everybody that's seen it knows
what's up and uh you know they are all hand-drawn by primal dark um there has been no uh you know
like the dragon punks collection does have, obviously, you know, there's a few AI attributes like the jackets and stuff, which, you know, we really did not want to do with the Rotwings collection.
I think the Rotwings collection is a lot more like relatable as far as NFTs go.
We're very excited for it.
And I will drop this.
I'll drop this.
I'll drop this, getting off the subject of USDR a little bit.
Getting off the subject of USDR a little bit.
But there is going to be, in the future,
there will be a Decentral Brothers and Dragon Punk's collab,
and if T-Collection drops as well.
So that's coming after Rotwing.
So everybody stay tuned for that as well.
I do know, and they did show me, and I hope nobody gets it.
I want it.
But the Rotwing that has some Decentral Bro traits on it, yeah, I want that one.
Oh, yeah, bro.
That's going to be like a – we want that to be a major trait in that collection as well.
I love it.
Primal was showing me.
He came up with some pretty crazy horns, bro, on on those fuckers today so i'm really excited
for people to see that but as you guys are covering everything feel free to share in the
nest up at the top if you want to share to the top of space people can discover sure i can share
i can share some posts but we're not we definitely can't share any rot no no no just you know around
the stable you guys it's bottled it's bottled right now man and there's gonna be there's gonna
be tons of not even brought to usdr and back and forth from base that you know we're working on a
you know abstracta the first ever like creator marketplace for abstract because everything's
toki-gated with bleep lever i think is their name and a few others um it'll be a mixture between
you know digital art music videos like uh creating albums and collections for, you know, artists anywhere from rap, rock, whatever.
And we want I'm going to I'm going to be integrating USDR into there.
So we're going to there's going to be a I'm going to try to use USDR is as many places as we can to bring value to abstract.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. You know, try to try to power it more than just their bridged assets
and just give people a little bit more value. But also too, any fees that are produced from that,
our ultimate goal is to feed that a small percentage back into development and obviously
a bigger percentage. And I think
that, you know, you can tell me if I'm over speaking a step in here, Sam, but the treasury
and the treasury, you know, from staking and earning that stable coin, right? So there's
going to be, you know, our goal is to just really, really keep as many ways as possible
here for the constant revolving of rewards, just like we have in our D-Bro ecosystem.
There's almost eight different ways
that rewards get produced.
Our staking is almost six months old.
It's like it's went down 2 million tokens.
It started at 36 million.
And I mean, we've seen other stakings get drained
and it's usually because there's a lot of people to claim
or they have like these small lockup periods.
You gotta treat it like a business in a sense.
You got to make people work for it too.
Again, there's just gambling and want to grab quick and fast cash.
Okay, cool.
If you want to do that, go buy meme coins.
And I can't stand meme coins.
I'm all about utility and I'm about real value.
And so have a threshold, certain things like that. I know that we were talking about in order to stake and earn on that aspect of staking, I think we solidified this.
And Sam, you can tell me if it's not, if you guys went against it or anything.
But I think from our last conversation, you'll be able to take your Dragon Punk NFTs, wrap them with a certain value of USDR on stake, and then you will earn USDR back in
return for that. And there's a lot of few other options we're looking into. So super excited for
this. Yeah. There's some really cool stuff. Yeah. Going into that. I mean, if I'm on
dragonpunks.com right now, I see right here, coming soon, holders will be able to wrap their NFTs with the first native stablecoin back one-to-one by USDC
on abstract chain.
And you go forward to kind of give an example, turn a $30 NFT into $100 NFT or beyond.
So just to kind of simplify it, what is that process?
How do we get that value to what it is in that example?
Well, a lot of people are against wrapping in some senses too, because like, all right, here's
like a little trick to it. I mean, some projects that have taxes, like, all right, so we talk about
like L2 pools, how the only thing that's acceptable on an L2 would be a transfer tax.
And if you're on an L2 and you have a transfer tax, you're stuck.
You can't migrate to an L3 or L4.
You're just stuck.
It's not supported.
It's just kind of an old thing that's dying out.
Will anybody ever stop using it and will it go away?
Absolutely not.
not. It'll always be supported. There's too many tokens out there that are doing it and still
It'll always be supported.
There's too many tokens out there that are doing it and still trading that way.
trading that way. But let's say there was a transfer tax on a token. You can wrap that
NFT with those tokens, send that NFT to somebody and you don't pay a transfer tax. Then that
person just gets it and unwraps it and gets the tokens. So essentially how it would work is the same way. There won't be any transaction on that.
We're not doing that.
But you will just, it'll be like a one-step process.
You hit, I'm just going to give an example of kind of what I described the day during
the development call would be that you head over to the DAP, the utility site, and you
make sure that, you know, whatever NFTs you're going to stake.
So let's say you stake three of your NFTs, token ID one, two, and three.
And let's say it takes $200 of USDR per NFT.
Then you'll have to make sure you have those three NFTs in your wallet plus the USDR.
And it'll be like one click of a button.
It will take the three NFTs.
It'll take the total value of 600 USDR and it'll send it over click of a button. It will take the three NFTs, it'll take the total value of 600 USDR
and it'll send it over to the staking contract.
It'll wrap it and it will hold it there
and then you will be able to earn.
And once you reach a certain threshold,
you'll be able to claim those earnings.
And I mean, you can unstake at any time.
You'll just pay like,
we haven't decided on the percentage.
So the ecosystem will be free. It's like basically like vested, right? You're vesting,
you're investing. So we want you to stay in. We want you to earn and do things,
but we're not taking the fees, right? So the fees will be accumulated to go right back into
the treasury. So we got to think of this nonstop, you know, rewards for the treasury so people could constantly earn. But yeah, it's pretty, it's pretty simple. I mean, I make it sound
simple because it actually is pretty simple, but for, you know, people that are maybe just
joining in or, or otherwise, or like me and I, and you just need to say it a few times.
The basic thing is instead of relying on transfer fees as means of rewards, you guys are having it just be a one-stop stake process.
If you put in $200, that's what it is when it's getting staked in.
There is a period of time you need to have it in for.
And then if you do an early withdrawal, you're hit with an unstaked fee, not still decided yet, but whatever it ends up being.
That then feeds the treasury and the
treasury distributes the rewards to those folks that are staking.
You can unstake at any time. You can stake and unstake a hundred times a day, but you will pay,
let's say it's 1%, you will pay 1% out of that. So let's say you put in 200 and then you pull out,
you'll just, that 1% just comes out and you get back the remaining, right?
Yeah. And those fees then go to the stakers,
right? That's where the sustainable reward is. That's correct. Okay. That's awesome. No,
that's straightforward. These are very, very small fees compared to a lot of stable coins and a lot
of just swaps in general ask. Partial of the corridor fees will also go to the rewards both
ways, right? So from base to abstract, from abstract back to base.
So we're thinking of every possible way that there will be fees generated.
In a nominal way.
That's smart.
That's smart.
I mean, because, okay, for me, right?
I'm doing swaps all day.
I don't care if I'm paying a little fee if I'm getting value, right?
If I'm making money or if I'm earning or if there's long-term potential, I just don't want to be raked across the coals with
fees. And I really, I also agree. I really don't like transfer fees. That's last generation that
don't work, you know, 10% fees on my meme coins or whatever it might be. It's just old news. So
I'm thinking innovatively, I think is much smarter. And I think this is pretty cool.
This is pretty cool because for me, that's what I wanted to know is like, how are the
rewards sustainably generated?
And that totally makes sense.
So, you know, hey, Adam, I'm going to give you your first abstract NFT.
I'm going to send you a Dragon Punk, but you need to go set up a abstract global wallet
because we do want people to be right now.
You can go to,
go to the abstract X account,
the ABS dot XYZ.
And yeah,
go on there.
And I'll,
I'll send you one.
I'm just sent,
just send me your ETH,
your,
your,
your abstract ETH address that it,
you know,
that it sets up for you.
And I'll make sure that when this space is over
that I get on my computer
and I'll send you a pretty badass dragon.
Can somebody pin that up
so that people know also in the audience
how to get an abstract wallet
so they can get themselves?
They have to go to secondaries, right?
To get a dragon punk at this point?
Yeah, right now you'd be using Magic Eden and OpenSea.
We are on both platforms
um but uh holy crap there's like a hawk in this tree or something i don't know if you guys heard
that's what i was about to say it's trying to get him he's got one of those bugs on his head
he doesn't realize it it's just like on my head i I'm like, no, but I'll, yeah, I'll post that to the top,
how to create an abstract global wallet.
It's definitely,
it's definitely like what we want to see people using.
You know,
we do want to show the abstract team that we are,
you know,
sending people to their,
to their main hub.
You know,
I know it's not going to be like that forever because let's think about it.
Like ETH was a very small at one point too.
And so it was base,
but everybody builds,
everybody expands.
I mean,
there's many forks in the road. Yeah. There's thousands of for road yeah we're trying to solve that problem a little bit too with this dap
um you know we like to leverage the newest tech and everything else too and sdks for account
abstraction the whole nine yards and we've gotten a lot of feedback from the abstract wallet um
from quite a big you know uh abstract community members and people that are really into it and some
problems that they run into. And, you know, we will support it on the site. But our main initiative
is going to be really trying to leverage account abstraction, as many connections as possible,
probably trying to support over like 150 different wallets. You know, we'll pick and choose. But
the main thing is that we've learned with the new account abstraction and everything too is that, you know, we can easily allow you to just set up a wallet via your email or anything else.
Or you can just use MetaMask, you know, directly from the account abstraction on Reowned and just connect right there.
Interact with Abstract.
Store your assets directly in your MetaMask.
Don't have to worry about, you know, how do I get this out of my abstract wallet.
I've ran into a lot of complaints and stuff going, oh, well, I have this here and I'm
trying to get it out and then it won't let me transfer here and all these other things.
It is a brand new kind of ecosystem.
They're still developing.
There's a lot of things going on.
And I don't want to see, I mean, I get it.
It's a community and they have their own wallet and they want to try to push people to use their
wallet, especially, I mean, even their portal, right? You can't do anything unless you use their
wallet. I'm like, that's cool and all, but we really need to have more of a wider acceptance.
And so that's one thing we're going to really be tackling here on the DAP is allowing you to use
essentially whatever wallet, you know,
we're going to, I mean, I'm a big, you know, MetaMask guy and everything else. And the entire
time I've been testing the corridors and everything I'm doing, I'm using my MetaMask and I get my
USDR right to my wallet, NFTs, anything else. And I have all the account abstraction and stuff kind
of set up to it right now. The only thing I don't have that I started to have an implemented yet is the global
wallet, which I will start implementing here next week. But overall, I think people should have more
flexibility to use a wallet that can get their assets and that can move their assets around
and have an easier time doing so. All I'm going to say is it literally took me one minute and I have an abstract
wallet now. So it's super simple, guys.
I posted it to the top too, if anybody else is interested in like, I mean,
yeah, it's like, it's super simple. You can literally link your Google account,
but like I, what Justin is saying is like,
this is just the beginning of this chain. This is such a new chain.
It's very, very young guys.
There's going to be so many different ways to, to like correspond and work with abstract in the future.
I mean, that's, that's what we want to do.
That's what we're going to build.
You know, someday maybe we'll have the attention of the team.
Maybe, you know, maybe we just carve up.
We just carve our own path through this, through this blockchain.
Just like, just like Decentral Brothers is doing right now with Abstractica. Um, there's a lot, there's a lot to be done.
It's a brand new chain. It ain't going nowhere. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger. And all
the FUD that they faced this week with the hack and everything else. I mean, they're that it's,
no one cares. It's still, it's still just, you know, it's still like putting people are still
joining it. Like literally like every single day if not maybe bad bad press
is is better than no press i guess i don't know but the whole thing was is it's pretty crazy that
they can like literally get hacked get their account back and then nobody gives a and they they acquire even more users it's insane that's kind of how it is right when you're when
you're first getting into things i mean people just want to know how to onboard there might might be some bumps along the road, but they kind of inherently know, even if they don't want to
give you the grace that like, you know, it's a learning process, right? It's a learning process.
You're going to make mistakes. Things happen is what it is. But I did want to ask just kind of
holistically, why abstract? I mean, you could have built anywhere, you know, base chain, Solana,
you know, Ethereum, I guess.
Why Abstract? I'm just kind of curious, especially being new.
We chose. Oh, sorry, sorry, sir.
We chose Abstract because it's it's a very hype chain.
It's got a lot of backing behind it.
And it's it's favorable as far as gaming and streaming, which are two of the biggest things on Earth that may generate revenue.
We saw that and we're immediately attracted to it.
ETH has higher gas fees.
We wanted to, you know, if we're going to use ETH, we're wanting to layer two.
It's going to be a lot cheaper gas fees.
People can move around a lot more simple.
We were really attracted to the initial way that they are going about like
creating like you know saying that they're gonna they want to create the disneyland of crypto
which is kind of like really what they're building i mean if you go into that app if you go into the
app stack global wallet and you go into like the discover and you go into the apps dude there are
some crazy games in there and you can earn some serious cash i mean i've played gotcha game
probably 100 times and i've i don't i don't think I've really lost money on it. Like I keep winning like ETH and I keep winning
Pengu. Like, I mean, there's some really cool, cool, cool things that they're doing, you know,
and it's, it's still at that small level where it's like going in, this is a casino and this
is fun and you got to be careful. I always stress that. Always be careful. Don't gamble, you know,
don't gamble away anything that you're, you know, you don't want to lose. But they do also have a lot of really cool games that are out now.
Like, they have some really fun freaking games that you can play, like Roach Racing, Moody Madness.
Moody Madness is just, as a newer release, it just came out.
It's like a car racing game where you can jump your car and, like, float all over the place and earn crypto on the way.
It's really crazy, like, the kind of things that these guys are building.
And we were like
gravitated towards it because you know me and uh me and primal dark the the artist we're we're
pretty you know we've been around we've uh we've seen some things and it's something that really
intrigued us and we watched i watched them build it i watched it from the beginning and i was like
oh it's just another chain we'll see what happens and then i'll you know it was between that and
ape chain for what we were going to launch our NFT project on.
I love Ape Chain.
I actually hold a lot of Ape Chain projects.
I'm a Chumps Casey Barino fan.
I've had Gobs.
I love the chain.
It's great.
I still think I have about like 80 Ape Chain NFTs like in my wallet.
But I was really attracted to what abstract was building
and you know there are a group of younger people that have a lot of like you can just tell they
have good drive and they're good people and uh you know we we gravitate towards things like that we
just saw we just saw the potential i like it i like it uh decentral bros you got your hand up go
ahead yeah i was just gonna say and piggyback off of that that you know um like i said where
the story about how these guys and us ran into each other and um cory being on our team and
them being friends for a long time and me being friends with cory for five years and
when abstract came along and he was like oh he goes you know we think you guys are the perfect
builders for us and i was like well i was like not going to lie to you. I've never built on an abstract chain before, but it's Solidity compatible.
You know, just to show out of good faith or anything, you know, I mean,
I mean, it's an L2 and it's Solidity and everything else.
The only thing that's different is the way they read bytecode.
It's done a little bit differently.
It's compiled differently.
It's read differently than you would, you know, everybody says,
it's a clone of base. No, not really, not at all. Let me show you the hard hats and the way you got to deploy and using ZK zinc and a little bit of roll ups. And, you know, it's definitely, it's definitely I wouldn't say it's developer friendly, but I love the challenges. I think when I first said, let me look into this, and I think I spent almost two weeks just reading through every single doc on their page for the EBS docs.
And I built out a hard hat scaffold, did a few different contracts in there to start building out some of their ideas and certain things, deployed a few few different objects and I shared it with them and I was you know they haven't even paid us or anything
yet right just wanted to you know prove myself or show out a good faith or anything else and
you know I was like hey you know I got a good grasp on their chain now it's very similar it's
just the way that this you know it is similar to other L2s 100%. But they do more communication from L1 to L2 versus L2 to L2s. And like I said,
with ByteCode. So for us, it was a growth. And it allowed me to start having fun building
Abstracta, a marketplace. That's what I do. I don't know. I listen to people's complaints and
problems. And I'm like, well, I'm going to build a solution for that. And I see a lot of problems on there, like the token gated stuff and certain things. And so having the opportunity to be able
to build a lot more on it and grow as a developer myself, that's why I kind of saw the, you know,
I accepted the challenge pretty much. I like it. I like it. I mean, those are the best solutions, right? You find an
opportunity, people aren't, you know, satisfied and you create a solution and you learn and adapt.
So that's fantastic. I did want to kind of just switch gears a little bit and kind of expand on
our learning of abstract as a, as an ecosystem, because the very little and i do mean little i know about abstract
has been on the timeline mainly around like live streams and this person tipped that person on
abstract and this sort of thing and i mean this is within my microcosm i'm on spaces all day i do
daily live stream so of course that's where my attention like you know attaches to but i am
curious are you guys gonna do anything within that field since it is so
kind of new when we're talking about these blockchains, like kind of focusing on the
engagement element, right? The attention economy that I always kind of mentioned.
Are you guys going to be exploring that at all?
That's a possibility in the future. Right now now we really the chain really needs like good utility
you know there's got to be that those there's got to be people that come in and want to actually
like incentivize people to use their products um but that's not just gambling you know what i mean
so i i think our main focus right now is just is giving a utility to the chain like you know like
a stable coin that you can earn earn money on it could be a safe haven um it's backed by circle you know that's our number one right now our our main concern and
our the thing that we want to push the most um in the future we actually already have like we
already built a game we've used it we built a game using grok actually it's on our website you can
play it um the later down the line you know you know, you know, that we may make an actual drag game.
We've been talking about me and me and Primal been talking about a first person shooter
forever.
So, you know, things, things are doing awesome down the future.
Um, that's something definitely that we're going to explore.
Um, but right now our main, uh, our main focus is bringing utility to the blockchain that
people can.
I think what he was more leaning towards was a little bit of the portal stuff that abstract
has going on and everything too.
And so, sorry, I don't mean to segue that, but I think that's what you were kind of leaning towards, Adam.
Yeah, and just the kind of...
Streaming, the streaming and stuff, right? XP, that whole nine yards.
So, like, okay, and I don't even know if this would be feasible because, again, I'm very new to Abstract.
But, like, what if you could have your amazing NFTs be masked to you on your stream and you could educate people on the cool utility you guys have?
You could have fun, game together, whatever.
And like you could tie in a core piece of what you guys have.
You could educate and you could also just kind of have fun.
So that's kind of where my mind was going was like the education meets
entertainment side.
But I also don't really know too much about what that was.
I've been wanting to tap into their stuff.
Like right now it's like all through their own portal and the like, I get it.
They built their own stuff, but if they built it on their own ecosystem, I
mean, whatever, I could do the same shit.
Just come up with a creative idea and essentially kind of do the same thing.
But no, I have had some thoughts for sure.
Actually, I've had some thoughts for many years so far, just like even with other L2s.
And my home just originally starting with base and when they first came out being eTenver builders,
trying to win a lot of their bounties.
We've been in like every single one of their builders,
on-chain summer build-thons and hackathons,
essentially just trying to win a lot of the money in grants to produce tech.
And so it would be really cool, absolutely,
to do something along those lines, like you're saying.
And we could totally build out our own streaming platform.
Imagine you're on YouTube and you've got a really solid audience, people that are watching all nonstop and everything else.
You can just stream that directly.
Okay, so the portal and abstract kind of works the same way.
I don't know how familiar I would like OBS on your computer or anything.
OBS you can link. Yeah, no. Okay. Well you can link like multi. Okay, cool.
Yeah. You can link like multiple you know, streamings, right.
You can go to Twitch and go to your YouTube, everything simultaneously,
essentially like doing the same thing, right? And then just having it the main portal that it's coming out of is
Draco from your site, where it lives on abstract chain. I think that'd be really cool. Absolutely.
But, you know, it's just coming up with a really cool creative concept to it. If it's integrating
something within the ecosystem, if it maybe it has nothing to do with the NFTs, maybe it has
everything to do with USDR, or maybe it has nothing to do with the NFTs. Maybe it has everything to do with USDR or maybe it has everything to do
with both of them.
I mean,
what if you could tip in USDR,
right?
Like,
I don't know if that's feasible.
Exactly.
A hundred percent.
Why not?
If you can tip in that,
you know,
bridged abstract ETH,
why can't,
why not?
It could be kind of interesting because the reason why it's just
interesting to explore that is like,
you have to look at the modalities that, you know, mainstream are going to want to interact, right? And, you know, when I heard that you guys have Fiat on-ramp solutions through Stripe, if I heard correctly, that you're integrating in and looking to integrate in, like, that's cool. You know, like, hey, I'm into crypto. I'm just starting. I'm learning. You know, I found this cool NFT project.
You know, also they have the stable coin thing. All right, cool.
Yeah. Let me throw a little, a little money into it. Let me throw a hundred bucks or 50 bucks, whatever.
And to make it just so seamless is awesome.
Cause I have to say like, after seeing how easy it was to set up that wallet,
I'm like, Oh, cool. So they understand, you know,
that mass adoption is a matter of making it simple,
fun, interactive.
And the more I'm hearing about, you know,
portals and the games that are actually,
sounds like pretty fun.
Most crypto games are terrible.
I'm seriously interested.
I'm like, you know,
I'm going to be a little bit of a degen on the,
what would you say?
The gotcha machines?
I don't even know what that is,
but I think that's gambling.
I'm going to have some.
I wish it was
Tamagotchi.
Tamagotchi's.
Gacha game
is tight. It's like a scratch ticket.
You can buy different ones. They have
different prices.
You can pick your little scratcher
for it. If you line
up an ETH symbol or
a Pangu or different symbols, you get either Pangu or ETH or there's Pico in there, which is like a shit coin on abstract.
Actually, I'm a fan of it because I made some money on it.
I don't know. It's bizarre, man.
I mean, the market caps of these abstract meme coins is so low.
Like, I mean, people I don't think really understand how low the uh they are so i mean if
you go buy you know you can get yourself a fat little bag for like 20 bucks putting 20 bucks
into like a ton of them and you're gonna make money when the market goes up because they all
they're all have such low market caps that they they just they they go you know they run man it's
crazy like the other day i put 70 in one called spud which is like an alien potato or something and i made like 400 the next day i was like wow but i mean i've
i've been around i've been i used to play meme coins a lot um not a huge fan like you know more
like justin i'm more of a utility type of guy um i mean you know i i had some good runs i got in on
pepe i just don't have time for the gambling or anything else.
You know, it's like I'm a long-term player.
Like if somebody says, oh, you got to validate, you know, every different ways.
Like I like to make money effortlessly, you know, like and just let it roll for me.
To me, that's validators or staking.
Oh, yeah.
I'm more of a staking longevity type of person as well.
So I don't really do it anymore. I used i used to be very dj any couple if i do trade i got my bots do it for me like i
don't have time for that shit um but you know uh the other thing is too is that you know i was you
know i was gonna mention the guys or whatever else but i really want to see rot wings minted out using USDR and credit cards. So yeah, so another quick,
like easy onboarding aspect in that sense, because like we have, we brought two IRL chain companies,
or two IRL companies on chain this year. We're working on our third right now. It's a real
estate company with an RWA marketplace selling homes. And I'm actually talking to them about integrating abstract and
accepting USDR and certain other things too. But they're using our Stripe tech right now.
We brought the walking down with the SMSX on chain, like company out of London and everything
else. Like, I don't know, it's probably like January. We just brought this Broadway performance
company out of Colorado, Aspen, Colorado,
on-chain from our lawyers. So our lawyers bring us these high-value clients that are seeing more
of what regulations drop. And we saw the regulations drop a little bit on Stripe's side too.
So we started taking the Stripe engines and having more flexibility in their code and
building off of that. And so I think it'd be really cool to, I don't think
there's anything on abstract right now that accepts anything with credit cards. So I think
it'd be really cool to kind of break that barrier and bring that value to say, hey, if you really
want to make it easy, just like you just did right now, you go over, click one button and a matter of
seconds, you got a wallet and you don't need any gas.
You don't need any native gas at all.
I'm talking about zeros across the board.
And then you just enter a credit card.
And once the credit card,
you know,
accepts and it comes back with success,
our Stripe engine handles the heavy lifting on the back end,
mints the NFT from an authorized Stripe wallet and drops it right in the
wallet connected to the site.
Right.
And there you go.
Right.
You know,
super nice.
Should we talk about the Draco card, or is that, like,
we shouldn't say anything?
I mean, yeah, I mean, I'm okay with it.
I mean, as long as everybody knows, it's definitely, you know,
part of, like, phase three.
It has to do with our, you know, kind of payment solutions.
But, yeah.
We got a credit card on deck?
We got a credit card on deck we got a card well saving so
so the big problem is you can't spend your crypto yeah um i'm gonna put it just like really in kind
of really quick terms like you can't spend your crypto so let's say like you you know let's say
like you do gamble on one of those abstract shit coins or yeah you can you can you know you can
swap it for any any any blockchain to abstract whatever You take that money, you swap it to Draco,
then you'll have a digital credit card,
possibly even physical at some point,
connected to that in your wallet,
and you'll be able to spend Draco in real time.
So you make a couple hundred bucks on a shitcoin,
you want to take your wife out for a nice dinner,
and Draco just paid for that.
That is something that is definitely on the you know on the deck like you said it's going to be
later down the line i already started building it but you know yeah these things are very expensive
to build guys they're very expensive to build so you gotta you gotta do what you can do it you know
and build up to that but um things like that are that's like a major piece
of infrastructure so i started building the oracle for that already i kind of showed them work in
concept i did create a digital card um my goal was to allow you to attach your nft as a skin to it
so my goal is to my goal is to you know how you can do with your cards and irl you can attach
your skins to it um so i i did get, I would say a 40% working
product, but fully on chain. And, you know, I didn't share it around or do anything with it.
I just kind of showed them with local development. But it's all handled from the backend and Oracle.
So essentially, you know, I created a card tab on the new, you know, utility site, you go and you
connect your wallet to the site and the back end
will check if you've been there or not. And if you haven't, it'll automatically generate a new
wallet with account abstraction. It'll encrypt that key, tie it to the back end, and then it will tie
the card address as a ETH address to the digital card and generate a digital card and allow you
to attach your NFT to it as a skin. And then you have a deposit button there and it'll show your transactions
um and i showed him that i can take the 200 usdc that's currently in my wallet and i can load it
on the card and it'll load on the card and essentially my goal behind it would be to
you can use it for like anything on chain first, because we got to go
through paperwork and partnering with like Visa or somebody else. And we're looking, yeah, we're
looking into it and everything. But you know, it's like eight to 12 months on paperwork and stuff.
So of course, we're, we're, we want this to be a part of the later phases. But essentially,
you'd be able to load the card right now, let's say it's fully on chain and not a part of Visa. And with these new wallet connections, we can actually attach any application
we want within them. So what we'd like to do is all the sites that do use the new SDKs, which is
mainly everybody adapting to them now, Uniswap, all these others, I mean, hence the name
Abstract. It's account
abstraction. That's why their chain is named Abstract. And that's why they have this whole
ease ability of how easy it is because account abstraction was out before Abstract Chain.
And smart contracts, when you're making updates to them and you're just trying to make state
updates to them, you mark them as abstract. So hence their name and everything
they're doing. They're running a play on it. And that's really cool. I don't have an issue with it
at all. I think it's a great play. But let's say you go over to Uniswap. And when you hit Connect
Wallet, and we'd have to get them to support, of course, but you work around and they will.
But you go to Uniswap, let's say, and then you hit Connect Wallet.
When your wallets pop up,
you'll see like the Draco digital card option in there.
And then you'll just, you know,
it'd be like a browser extension
and you don't have to worry about the keys
or anything else or somebody, you know,
be able to withdraw from it or anything at all
because the backend handles everything.
So essentially you would connect that card to the site
and you'd swap the supported currencies that can you would connect that card to the site and you'd swap
the supported currencies that can be loaded on that card. And right now it's like three different
stable coins, including USDR. And you would swap, I don't know, that USDR for that token.
And that card is actually linked to the wallet that you created it with. So the funds won't
actually store on the wallet. They'll just be immediately bouncing the card to the wallet that you created it with. So the funds won't actually store on the wallet, they'll just be immediately, you know, bounce from the card to the wallet that you created the card with.
So the card is just used for just processing transactions on chain. So imagine just like a
really cool project going in, launching on abstract or something or anything else in a sense.
And they just say, Hey, mentor, you know, NFTs or come in our ecosystem or do X, Y, and Z with your abstract, with your Draco card.
Okay, that sounds awesome.
Especially when you guys team up with a payment processor.
I know, like, I've been getting closer and closer with the BitGet wallet team.
And a big push for them coming up is going to be their alliance with MasterCard for their BitGet wallet.
And, you know, they were kind of testing it out in markets and stuff.
And they're like, it's so cool.
And my mind went to like, OK, well, you know, if I really like a token, a meme coin or even like a, you know, a legacy token,
I don't want to spend that on a latte or a nice dinner.
I want to spend stables, right?
Like, you know, USDC, USDT.
So if I heard you right, Decentral Bros, like, are we going to be able to,
I know it's down the line,
but are we going to be able to use your guys's USDR on a card feasibly,
or are we going to need to have it be USDC?
Yeah. You go, go to Outback Steakhouse, pay your,
pay for your dinner with USDR.
Oh, that's cool. See, that cool see that's see see that's awesome and that really grabs my attention because um for all the other
card solutions that i've seen it requires the pairs that are inherently supported so they need
to be like whitelisted or something like that and um especially around stables you're not giving well
that's the problem is all this token gating BS I'm tired of.
That's one of the things I'm tired of, like the bled for all these others.
I'm like, why?
Why are we doing this?
You don't see OpenSea token gating people or certain things.
Yeah, if there's a bad collection or spoof, they'll remove it.
Whatever.
Cool.
That's fine.
But, I mean, this is built by the people for the people.
We don't need somebody just holding keys to the gate and say, oh, you're worth it, you know, or, oh, you're approved.
Now, there will be whitelisted tokens that we'll only accept on the card.
Of course, you know, I only want nothing but stables on it.
So that's why, again, that's why that card will never hold anything else that you may purchase or anything with it.
It'll just bounce it back.
So the back end essentially, you know, the back end doesn't even store your actual key.
So when a card's generated, it does do an account extraction, generates a new wallet, encrypts that key, stores it on the back end, and then it ties that address to the card.
It links it to the wallet that you're on the site
and created it with. So there in a sense is like a chain. And let's say you go to Outback and just
use as an example, but you go to Outback and you buy dinner with the card, the backend will then
trigger the card to be spent at that location and it'll unencrypt the key, use the
key to process the transaction, convert the USDR into the fiat, the restaurant gets the
fiat and so forth.
And then it decrypts the key and puts it back.
So, um, essentially you can think of it like the Coinbase card.
Um, but you know, know uh really cool things and again we're just we're we're
probably talking about it too early and everything here it's just i had to pick your brain because
it sounded so cool yeah but but but but i did i did want to look i've been i've been talking a lot
here um you guys have been given amazing amazing details and by the way the space is filled out
much more than when we started.
We had like three people in here before.
I saw what, probably about like close to like 30 at our peak here.
It was pretty good.
But Mystic, I'm going to pass it back to you to explore a little bit further with our friends here.
Yeah, I, you know, to be honest, like a lot of that kind of back end stuff is a little bit beyond my information. So I'm glad you were here, Adam, to kind of help guide that and ask the right questions. But it just sounds so epic what they're doing. And I guess for me, I'm really curious, you know, to know a little bit more about you, you know, not so much about the project, but like what, you know, what kind of
inspired you to, to make this project and for it to be also kind of two part question, like
for it to be kind of based on dragons, you know, where did that come from and, and, and what
inspired you? So, uh, me and Primal Dark have been, the artist has been, we've been friends for a very
long time. Um, I'm more
business. He's always been, you know, more of an art, an artist type of person. Um, when we get
together, we just brainstorm and we, you know, we create together. Um, this isn't our first time
working together. Um, and we've been, you know, like I said, we've been friends for almost, I bet,
I think it's about, we're going on about 18 years of friendship. We met in Denver the night I met him.
It's a crazy story.
He actually got a gun pulled on him, and I saw it happen,
and I knew the cops were coming, and I was up on my, like,
fourth-story balcony in my apartment in downtown Denver,
and I was like, hey, come up here, buddy.
I'm like, you got to get up here or you're going to jail,
and, like, just like your friends are.
And he ran up there, and. I'm like, you got to get up here or you're going to jail. And like, just like your friends are. And, uh, he ran up there and we smoked a joint and we've been like really besties ever since I've been, I've met thousands of people in my life. Um, I used to
be in two touring metal bands. Um, I've seen, I've met millions of people. It feels like,
um, me and him have always, always remained friends through pretty much everything. Um,
he came to me, um the last uh after after the
a project he was working with helping with tokenomics with fell apart um due to the ceo
it was just a bad you know a bad thing i mean primal did what he could but at the end of the
day it all fell on the the person that had control the project um but anyway he came to me saying hey
man like let's he's like you know a lot about nfts you've been collecting nfts you've been in a t game for a long time he's like let's
let's create a project together and i'm like yeah absolutely bro i'd love to so um you know his the
inspiration for the dragons kind of came from like his kids and he's like how about dragons and i was
like dude that'd be sick because like all of our kids are like little dragons so that whole uh
inspiration kind of
stemmed you know from that and then we we were talking about traits and the way the first og
collection was built you know was a lot was was like kind of just things we related to in life
um you know they they i think everybody can resonate with the og dragon punks collection
i mean there's something for everybody there's dragons that range from like extremely calm
like cool and collective and they're just like really outrageously insane
ones that kind of like i resonate more with because i have a kind of a crazy like personality
in the way that i've like processed things i like i've always been a little bit more extreme and
um i think there's just something for everybody rot wings you know we wanted to be a little bit
more like darker though they're the
villains of the dragon punks universe and they are yeah i think everybody's gonna resonate with
them as well because then we have rot wings with joints in their mouths like you know we have rot
wings that like to party um and then they come down to like really brutal scars and like i think
everybody's like with the whole mental health aspect i feel like people are going to resonate
with like you know like what they like with that collection as well there's just there's a lot of different uh just different attributes
um i'm a big metal guy i've always been you know i've always listened to metal my whole life um i've
like i said i've been a vocalist for two for two uh death metal bands that did pretty cool i mean
we didn't we weren't you know like super famous or whatever but we got to tour and we got to cut
some albums and that was that was good enough for me you know I didn't want to wake up you know when I was like 40 with with nothing I wanted to go
the other route I met a very nice girl and you know developed a family that's kind of more the
route that I you know want to go Primal has two kids as well and uh you know we we that's just
who we are like we're we're we're family and we've been through a lot we've been through a lot of
different walks of life and uh that's kind of where it all stem we're, we're, we're, we're family, and we've been through a lot. We've been through a lot of different walks of life and that's kind of where it
all stemmed from. I mean, I hope that was a good enough breakdown,
but that was the, that was the inspiration.
It was just kind of like the way people perceive life and go through it.
I know that there's a lot of a lot of, a lot of mental health issues out there.
And hopefully we can be like a beacon of light on that.
And hopefully people can find like a beacon of light on that and hopefully people can
find like a dragon they resonate with and they want to you know something that just gives them
gives them hope and happiness at the end of the day um it's all about overcoming all the bullshit
and that's what we're here for what did i say when we when we talked the other day and i looked at
the art the way that paul described it and i was like yeah kind of like our lives you know
yeah exactly like like straight up like i mean i i was like yeah kind of like our lives you know yeah exactly like like
straight up like i mean i i was like in favor of making the rot wings like more extreme and he's
like do you think there's too much blood and stuff on some of them and i'm like nah dude fuck no
there's been plenty nfts that have that you know or more they're like so rot wings are dragon punks
that have been enslaved basically and reprograms, you know, to be monsters.
I'm telling you guys,
like I have,
it takes me a lot to really like NFT art nowadays.
Cause everybody's just quick to generate AI and all these things.
And I could tell me at least just looking at it.
Right.
And anything,
I mean,
same thing with a lot of the,
the tokens and everything out there.
But man,
when I saw the artwork behind this,
I was just like,
holy snap. Like like just they look you could just see like his his crazy imagination just like poured into like these
hand-drawn pieces that are just that just blew me away pretty much though yeah dude i we were
like justin we're showing you this, bro, because we know.
And that helmet, that dude, that Decentral Brothers helmet.
Bro, that is so sick, dude. And the swords, dude, it was like Donatello's sword or Leonardo's sword through his chest.
And the other one, I was like, bro, this is killer.
Yeah, Rotwings are definitely not cute and cuddly like Dragon Punks.
I mean, they're a little bit more like,
they're like the dude you do not want your daughter to meet at the bar,
that kind of shit. Like, but, uh, I mean that, that,
that's something we're, you know, we, he, you know,
Primal as artists is poor as heart and soul too. And I've,
I've been helping him with traits and we, you know,
we're developing this together. Like I have the ideas, he puts it on paper.
Um, he comes up a lot of them himself as well. You know, I,
I handle more in dragon punks Punk, more of the business end,
and talking to bigger entities.
I landed us a...
There's an abstract company that's releasing a lending and borrowing solution on abstract
coming out, and they want to use Draco.
I've been talking to them.
So that's...
I'm not going to drop their name here, but
you guys will probably see a post
soon enough. I know Justin's seen a messaging
between us all.
So it's something that's definitely coming down
the pipeline. They're going to be like a
lending and borrowing aspect on
Abstract and they're very interested in the token because there is no real native
stable coin on abstract yet there's not i mean that you got usde and then you got usdt like
tether which is you know like they're that's all they all use third parties i feel like ours is a
lot more genuine and it is backed by circle so it's a little bit different um so you know it's
something that's i feel like a lot more safe to use um but i mean there is no like actual native stable coin yet i mean but come
on we're connecting base to abstract too you know and we're connecting baits to abstract which is
like never been done either and there's just so many like really cool really cool things that
dragon punks are doing um i mean and i i know that people are you know like i said earlier like people are just waiting you know to establish that trust and stuff before you know they all they
all go all in on it i think i know we're being watched i know that there's eyes everywhere
but you got to establish that trust you know and you know people are seeing so
i'm we're we're definitely excited um and like i said even carving your own niche on a new chain
is not a bad thing um there's a lot of there's a lot of room for growth a lot of room for
development there's a lot of room for for moving i mean and i just gotta say the relationship that
these guys have came from into leading to us it wasn't just about who's the right developers or
anything they weren't even like looking in that sense. And, you know, I was like, like Corey on our team, we had no idea that they were friends or anything.
And I've been friends with Corey for five years.
They've been friends with Corey for a very long time.
Like you said, those two met in Denver.
I was like, holy snap, you know.
And actually me and Corey met when I was getting, I went to this tattoo shop in Denver.
And I was the only guy in there getting, you know, I got off my whole left arm as a sleeve of my past crypto life.
I've been in the crypto game since Bitcoin, the second year it came out and before Ethereum even launched.
So I'm in there getting crypto tats up my arm, everything in my miners, my algorithms, everything I've built, like telling my whole crypto story.
And Corey's like, hell yeah.
I see him over there coding Solidity.
I'm like, what you doing, bro?
He's like over there.
He's doing like these piercings, not a tattoo.
He's doing piercings, coding.
And then I was like, bro, we should hang out.
And that was it.
We started hanging out.
And then I didn't know he knew these guys.
I started, I started the company has mentioned for that bad CEO.
Corey was like, tell me
about it, everything else. So I started, I became one of their first like validators, which I have
hundreds now, but on testnet for like an entire year, made it to mainnet, uh, was validating for
like three years, uh, some, some stuff like that, supporting their network processing transactions
on a server. And, uh, yeah. And then all of a sudden, you know, it just, these guys
came around, they started chatting and I knew they started talking about what they were building.
I never once offered a services. They never once asked. We just started forming a genuine
relationship and it, it wasn't even like, Hey, we'd like to hire you or anything. It just,
it was like the most natural thing ever that just fell in place.
So those are the best relationships, right? I mean, like you kind of find yourself to it and,
you know, I'm going back to what was being said around trust. I think the real dissimmetries and
the kind of jadedness we feel sometimes collectively as individuals or as groups or
whatever is because there might've been times where we,
we built those connections and we thought they were so real and then they get invalidated by
just money usually, right. Um, or some just bad actions. So to be able to see, you know, okay,
you guys are able to stay, stay the test of time. Um, all of you obviously have some great
experience as well. Good history.
It's going to get realized. It's going to get realized. And to Dragon's point about the space
is always listening. Funny enough, I see in the audience there, a good friend of mine, Sir Trust,
he runs a really, really, really close-knit alpha group. And he actually interviewed one of the
co-founders, USTT uh last week on his channel so
oh that's awesome yeah it's just funny it was just funny because he posted in my in my smaller group
uh around that ama i wasn't able to join it but he's like hey this looks like a really good day
of the co-founders so it's just it's just kind of funny though right it's just kind of funny like
it's all full circle crypto is well bringing it
really full circle to to to quack it feels like like a small pond right like we're all in arms
reach away from each other so you got to take care of people you know you got to do do the best in
this space and uh i gotta say i mean this is the the first time i've really um jumped in a space
to kind of hear from you uh decentral bros a little bit more at length. But what I'm hearing too, is like, man, if someone wants, you know, and I know this,
this is, you know, focused on, on dragon punks, but since you guys work so closely together,
I mean, if someone needs dev work, is that what you guys do as well? Like, like if someone
we're a legitimate company, man, we went, we've been underground for a while. You had to know
somebody to know somebody to get to us. And we don't accept everybody because we pride ourselves. Like
we've never done anybody wrong. And, but we, we decided to shoot public almost over a year and
like three months ago. And, you know, we're state federally registered. We have a group of lawyers
that back us every day. They back, you know, they bring us clients because they know we're trusted.
I just dealt with a client this morning, helped saved. He ended up hiring these bad devs overseas. They stole like $49,000 and
I spent most of my morning trying to help. Yeah. And then he learned his lesson, did everything
else. Next thing you know, after I helped him, he made a post like probably about two hours later,
followed us from the other accounts and said, we weren't happy with these devs. They did something, did this wrong. And we're hiring
new devs that are docs, legitimate company, and that are well-rounded and so forth. But
honestly, you know, yeah, man, we, we, we don't accept everyone. We, we, because again, you know,
we could do 500 good things and you take on one person. We turned down $50,000 jobs because we're
just sketched out by the person. And I'm like, hey, I'm not going to take one thing that's going to tarnish our relationship.
And I just don't feel comfortable with this guy. So again, we do this for a living. This is my
full day-to-day job, Monday through Friday. I wake up, everything. I go and do hackathons,
build-a-thons, do contracting work for Coinbase, base, a whole bunch of others,
take on selective projects, good founders.
And the reason why I'm saying this too and why I decided to work with these guys is because they
truly stand by their word. The entire mint money that they raised, I just want to let everybody
know they have not taken a single penny of it. Not a single penny. And they have put every penny
back into what they said they were going to do. So that speaks volumes to me. And, you know, these guys having a good relationship with,
you know, one of our devs that are on our team would be in Corey and Corey can vouch for them.
You know, I mean, I've even had private conversations with Corey after I talked to
these guys and I said, Corey, if you don't want me to work with them, we won't work with them.
It was that simple. I didn't, I didn don't want me to work with them, we won't work with them. It was that simple.
I didn't care if there was $20,000, $30,000 in the line or anything else.
Again, I'm a big firm believer in not just people, but the right people.
Not all business is good business.
Good way to summarize it, right?
Yeah, that's the best way to summarize it.
Yeah.
And these guys are true to their word, man.
So I just want to let everybody know out there, your money is being very well spent.
And they have not kept a single penny of it.
We even had that conversation the other day where Paul was like, this next collection,
he goes, I might want to get a payment from it.
I was like, you deserve it, bro.
You're working hard out there, man.
You deserve it 100 you're working hard out there man you deserve it 100 dude yeah and and you know
again i'm this is only the second uh like full-length quack uh space you know that i've
done so there's a lot of new faces to me but a couple that i've kind of heard and such but um i
know kind of something that's been running concurrent through all of it is this this green
pill collective that keeps coming up right this trusted group of folks i know we're part of it is this green pill collective that keeps coming up, right? This trusted group of folks. I know we're part of it here at Quack and, you know, it looks like you guys are as well,
Dragon Punk. So could you tell us a little bit about that discovery process? Like how did you,
how did you find enjoying that? What resonated with you with what they're doing?
Yeah, he's actually done on the audience, Rick Starr, you know, I mean, he's the main man behind
it with the idea. He's fantastic. He's also another good
friend. It actually started in full circle when we met, and he's down in the audience too,
Crypto Stoner. I remember Crypto Stoner's first space. I was like, I don't like going to a lot
of spaces because it was just like the shills, meme coins. I like going into, where's all the
development spaces? Where's all the
actual good stuff out here doing good and helping people? Well, Stoner started one,
big man came in and I just, every week, those, like those, every little daily space,
I just gravitated towards and became really close to those guys. Now, personal phone numbers,
chit-chatting. And then it led into Rick Starr coming in, being really good friends, making really great friends with him. He's like a great, honest guy. And then it led into Brickstar coming in, being really good friends, making really
great friends with him. He's a great, honest guy. And then he goes, I want to start. I remember the
space when it was born. He had the PO apps and he goes, we're going to call it the Green Pill
Collective. He made these PO apps. And I minted it right away. I was like, I got it. And then all
of a sudden he's like, us as developers and being docs in a company. He's like, I want you guys to be one of the founders and all these other things.
So we did, we decided because it's good people, it's good company, and they're going to be very, very selective.
So I helped build the site.
I helped build like application processes and vetting processes, wrote scripts to like vet their accounts and their wallets and certain things.
And yeah, it just, it just started from there. And then
we got Mad Queen who came in and she's fantastic. And man, I don't know. I thought I hustled every
day, but Rick Starr, I mean, I don't know how he bounces everything he does. I thought I'm
juggling like 10 bowling pins and bouncing on a ball and trying to run down the road at the same
time. No, I mean, he's got like 10 times that and then Mad Queen helping him out.
And then we met the quack life through there when they became and they got vetted and they came in.
And they've been amazing people too.
Her and her man, actually, I even had a personal conversation with them on development just outside of even X,
even x just getting to know them chatting um and honestly we probably maybe talked about like what
just getting to know them, chatting.
they can do with their their nfts or token for like probably
mystic did did the space rub can you guys hear me no i'm i'm here maybe he rugged i thought it
was me oh yeah left us on a cliffhanger there i was vibing i know i i would until he gets back
up here i would say i think rick star he's a mutant he's mutant a mutant Sheba. It's just like, it just turned him into this superhuman.
Oh, that's what it was? Okay.
That's the secret in case anyone was wondering, too.
He's got the antidote, maybe.
He's got some cool stuff going on over there with the mutant Shebas, too.
But, yeah, dude,
hopefully we get D-Bros back in here.
I wonder if he knows he rugged.
He's probably still just talking.
Yeah, and he's like, wow, they're being very quiet.
I keep referencing everything. Well well he'll join back but um well let's comment a little bit on it right uh
for those that maybe don't know about the green pill collective do you want to give your thoughts
mystic because i'm still learning too so i mean i'm taking notes you know yeah for sure so it's
a really awesome group of people who have got together i think there's
like there's like 30s low 30s of numbers of projects that are in there and uh yeah like
he was saying you know it's a pretty thorough vetting process they have a protocol they run
through to kind of check make sure that it's a safe community because they want to create a space where, you know, people can feel
comfortable to come in and know that anybody that's in this group of people is, you know,
at least these people aren't going to steal your money. You know, they're going to do what they say
they're going to do. They're going to keep developing the ways that they said that they
were, and they're going to hold true to that. And I think that's really special in the space,
especially as, you know, we want to really special in the space especially as you know we
want to onboard more normies and bring you know more people into the space I think that having
you know kind of dedicated groups or collectives is really going to be an important thing for
people like that to feel confident with you know it's like I could tell like you know my cousin
or my mom or somebody like, Hey,
you know, if you are interested into crypto, like here's your first 30 projects to go check out,
you know, we know these are safe. We know these are tried and true. And so here, you know, go,
go over here. And it's really been great. You know, the meetings we have once a week,
and there's been a good turnout every week and everybody gets a chance to talk and
kind of bounce
ideas off each other and how it weighs to you know push the collective forward which in turn
kind of lifts up all the projects that are in there and yeah just really powerful I think that
there's a lot of things that will come from it you know when you have so many projects working
together really a lot of movement can be made and i
think that's really special so uh just really stoked on all the things that they're doing i'll
throw up i have a schedule there's a ton of spaces like that you can go tap in with these projects
and there's also tons of um you know people in the community i think they're up to over 300
in that community 326 it looks like that's a
good amount yeah and i think it's been i don't even know if it's been a month yet that that has
been open so that's pretty exciting to see it kind of taken off like that and so i'll pin up a post
uh it's gonna take me a second to find it but it's got kind of a link to the community is a link to
you know tags to some of those handles and some of the regular weekly spaces. Like I said, there's a ton more. You'll have to click
on everybody's pages and find out all the cool stuff that they're up to. But yeah, and it's great.
It's like projects from all over the place, like all kinds of different chains. You know,
everybody's just down to help support each other. And I think that's just a unique thing to find in this space and so
really grateful to uh for us for quack to be involved for it's how I met dragon punks and
dbros and and like for a project for us you know we um want to expand a lot of our you know kind of
web3 uh development and you know it's like like Justin was saying you know getting it's like, like Justin was saying, you know, getting robbed for 50 grand because you're
trying to, to build this epic site, like that just sucks. And so to, to have anywhere from
NFT artists to tokens, to projects, to people hosting different things, offering different
skills to, you know, devs that can help people build things I think is just really cool you know there's like services
and it's just it's kind of well really well-rounded group of group of folks and from all over the
world which is awesome too to kind of get different perspectives of you know how crypto is going and
in their areas and what's you know hot over there and just it's just really great i can't like i'm i'm like borderline
speechless just because it's such a cool thing to find and so far like you know i've been in some
other spaces where they're like yeah all these projects are safe and then like they just fall
off you know you're like oh there goes one oh yeah they're gone yeah oh never mind oh not that one and that just hasn't happened projects are rugs yeah same with meme coins more
90 i know oh shit meme coins is probably like 95 99.7 yeah if we're being nice yeah we'll leave
a five percent buffer um this is this is really interesting because again like i don't pretend to
know everything there's a million and one things i don't and like this entire ecosystem of great builders is just so awesome
to me i have a very small community just like we just crossed 200 people but like there's there's
a couple projects in there and this is what i was going to ask like it's not just nft adjacent
projects like nft hybrid projects and stuff it's like any any project or or as long as like
qualify or does it have to be nft adjacent it does not have to be nft adjacent okay
very good very good yeah if you're a token like we've like your your contracts are highly vetted
um they're like audited and you know there's some that we've asked to make changes and certain
things to accept and you know they they, well, we got it for this.
I'm like, well, that's not safe for everybody in here.
It's not safe for everybody to promote because like Crack was saying, we do.
There's a daily spotlight.
I have no problem retweeting that on our profile because they've been in there.
That's what's cool, right?
Like other people won't retweet certain things cause they're, they're like,
Oh, that's not fit for our timeline. Doesn't fit our project.
Well, we don't worry about that in the GPC.
Like I have no problem retweeting one of the homies projects in there or
anything else, because man, it's like, like she was saying,
like when they do a town hall meetings,
you just see how many people show up pretty much almost like it's bad.
It's massive.
There's like,
you see just so many profile photos in there of like all those 300 some
people.
Yeah.
And they're all chit chatting and talking about the schedule and spaces
and who daily spotlights and everything.
that's amazing.
well,
I'm definitely going to attend one of those.
If it's,
if it's, if it's able for me to attend, I would love to, because I just, I'm all about
that vibe. And, you know, I think it, the surefire way to not get mass adoption is to keep promoting
like rug projects and, you know, mass extraction events and KOLs that rug from their people and
all this junk, right? So,
you know, you need to have people win, you need to give people a fair shot and have fun while
you're doing it. And you can still make a buck while doing it, but just be, you know, be reasonable,
you know, be a respectful steward to the ecosystem that you're helping to build. So
that's awesome. That's really cool. But I do want to bring it. Thank you guys for explaining it. But bringing it back to Dragon Punks, right? I did want to ask the competitive landscape
that you find yourself, and I hate to even say competitive, but just what else is out there?
Maybe is a better way to frame it on abstract. What does it look like for NFTs and maybe NFTs
that have utility attached to them? Is there a lot? Is there a little?
What are you seeing out there?
So there's barely any NFTs with like actual major,
besides gaming or gambling utility on Abstract.
So I definitely see us as pioneers on that chain right now,
as far as what we are doing.
So yeah, it's very, very, very small that you're going to find an NFT that has, you know,
like a stable coin connected to it or you'll be able to stake it and up its value for whatever
you want. I mean, somebody could put a million dollars into their NFT if they wanted to. That's
an attribute that you're not going to find on on the chain um or having a stable coin um so yeah i see this is very unique i see it's very
unique it's super early abstracts only been out for five months it's very very new um i think ape
chain's only been out for eight months so both of these are under a year. There's a lot of exploratory places to go,
but Dragon Punks is going to carve its own niche
and we're going to do our own thing.
And we're very excited about what we're doing.
I love it. I love it.
This has been a really exciting deep dive.
I mean, I'm vibing.
Our telegram, people are like, what the hell? Like,
this is so educational. Like so cool that, you know, things aren't being gatekept and you're
just sharing all this information and kind of educating people and people are in our community
are super stoked to, to be hearing what you guys are putting down. So I appreciate you so much for
coming. And Mystique, you know, we love you guys, you know, we love quack life and, uh, you guys are putting down so i appreciate you so much for coming and mystique
you know we love you guys you know we love quack life and uh you guys it's it was good to hear from
you i was like yeah i'd love to be you know we'd love to be on your show i mean we used to all
talk all time we everybody gets caught up in life and all the you know the craziness of
of running your own project and uh i think people sometimes like forgetting straight away that like
you know you got real friends straight in front of you.
So, I mean, great to great to we're very happy to have, you know, that you guys had us on tonight.
Me personally, I have a very few friends in IRL and I've made so many amazing Web3 friends here and met them at because we build at Eak Denver for the the past five every year past four years and meeting people in
irl and actually like establishing that connection being able to send somebody like even stoner or
anybody else and a few other people in here and like i haven't even met sam right but we got it
to our phone number and i have met him video to video face to face with our meetings and stuff
every week so um not in person yet but um just like Mystique, how I chatted with you
and your man and everything else off Twitter and off chain,
I've made some amazing connections just from these.
There are genuine people out there.
There are genuine people, so they're not all bad.
You just wait until I come to Denver.
When I come back to Denver, bro, we're going to go on a crazy little venture
dragon punk style all right let's do it as long as there's no gun no no gun point you know
dude that was like when me and paul were living in downtown we were like when we were like 22
years old bro that was like so long ago.
You're making me feel old, dude.
It was just a very interesting – I'm 39, bro.
Paul's 39 as well.
We're all the same.
I'm 35.
I'm crawling up behind you, bro. Yeah, I'm fucking older than you, so shut up.
Oh, he's going to break out seniority now.
But, yeah, no, it's been a crazy, definitely a crazy road.
I love all you guys.
I'm personally probably going to dip here soon because my wife keeps begging me to get in the hot tub with her.
Oh, really?
It's an eye.
No, don't.
Yeah, bro.
Yeah, I do for sure.
We just bought a house down here in South Carolina.
And the bonus to the house, it came with a saltwater hot tub, which I've for sure. Um, we, we just bought a house down here in South Carolina and the bonus of the house, it came with a saltwater hot tub,
which I've never owned.
So pretty happy about that.
Nope.
Heck yeah.
That's like some real healing right there.
I actually had to like,
I actually had to have a guy come out and like teach me how to like manage
Cause I like had no idea and it's like so easy.
Now I feel stupid for not just watching a YouTube video,
but I wanted to make sure I was doing it right.
You know, why not? For sure. Well, I mean mean if it breaks it's got to be expensive to fix it's not just regular hot tub it's salt water yeah that's wicked i never heard
of that i would rather have it my mom 17 i mean i i won't i i don't like i don't like bragging about
prices and shit but i'll just i mean it is a 17 000 hot tub and that they couldn't even
add that to the value of the house because you cannot add that onto the value. Wait, wait, don't lie. Wait, wait, don't, don't, don't tell Fitz to these
folks. The real reason why you bought that place is what, what's in the backyard? Uh, the fire pit,
the hot tub and my palm tree. No, no, no. The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the palm tree was last
dude, but we were at a call. He says, he's really, the palm tree was my favorite part of the time.
Wait, what? Better, better than the, than the hot tub? Hold on. I mean tree was my favorite part of the time. Wait, what?
Better than the hot tub?
Hold on.
I mean, I don't know.
I'm from Colorado, bro.
We don't have palm trees.
I was like, I'm in Florida.
Holy shit.
It's a problem.
Yeah, I know.
But I know they grow wild.
My wife's family lives in Windermere.
Okay.
And they have like palm trees all over their whole shit. And ever since I went through the first time, like 10 years ago, I was like, I'm going to own a palm tree someday.
And then I learned all about them.
And I learned that they weigh a hundred pounds every foot of them, which is absolutely nuts.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they're like, they're like a really unique type of tree.
Like the way they grow.
Yeah.
They're really epic.
And we went down to Palm Springs this year for the first year in
california and you know by the name there are tons of palm trees they're all planted
cali's got them really tall tall dude those things all kinds like different shaped leaves
different kind of colors and then they trim them differently so like some of them have these huge
skirts and they look like some prehistoric kind of plant and then yeah, dude, it was nuts.
I was like not expecting to be so enamored by the dang palm trees.
The one I have is like a it's like everybody here calls them furry palms.
And it has like fur like all the way up it.
But the leaves are really pretty.
It's very vast and spread out.
Well, go enjoy that
hot tub time i appreciate you for coming on and i look forward to you know some when you launch
that uh rot wings collect them let's talk about a collaborative mint party that'd be super fun
oh yeah that'd be we're down man i mean i i think this time we'll just have like major just major
mint parties all the time um we'll let everybody know how everything progresses, but I think we're getting
really close.
We can show...
If you want to come and create
a Discord group, we don't have any problem showing you,
Mystique. That'd be pretty cool.
Nobody leak anything.
For sure.
Let me just say this. Paul wouldn't even share
the screen
on his computer. It was funny.
He took a video.
Yeah, he switched to his phone
and he couldn't figure out how to flip the camera
and I was like, dang, that's a good looking NFT.
It's his face.
And he just finally
figures out how to flip the camera
and I'm looking at the NFT through it.
We love the OG Dragon Punk collection,
and that's always going to be the core staple of what we do as far as NFTs go.
But the Rotwings collection, I feel like people are going to really resonate with
because they are 100% hand-drawn.
It vibes like a – I guess I'm going to use a board ape as an example. It kind of vibes like a it vibes like i guess i'm gonna use a board ape an example it
kind of vibes like a board ape in a way um if you're if you're looking for that like real
like nft look i mean i'll just i'll just leave it there even better than that though like the the
board are a lot more they're kind of they're cartoonish they're like cartoonish these things
look like these things look like he
literally took out a piece of paper and drew every single one yeah for sure any you know we wanted to
make sure because we did we did catch some heat for using like you know a couple you know little
it was our first nft collection so like we you know on dragonpunks we had we did use some ai uh
attributes like their jackets and stuff and it did look you know like i've always was bitching at primal because i'm like dude this is looks not right but it looks good they're great they're
great art so fuck it like let's just let's just roll with it but i mean at the end of the day we
really wanted hand-drawn nfps and now we got them for our second drop and we couldn't be more
excited yeah that's awesome i you know we also we used, I mean, it took us two months.
Like me, myself, Mystic and Luminous, my partner, we worked probably like 10 hours a day, like five days a week.
We were on vacation because we're farmers.
because we're farmers so we have the winners off and we you know I could never get my brain to like
So we have the winters off.
make you know my hand draw what I wanted it to look like and so we were able to use you know AI
to like get that base image of like a hat or a shirt or a beak and then but I mean if anybody
I mean AI is getting a lot better but if anybody's worked
with it before like it would be impossible to just like prompt ai and like make your generative
fingers on a hand or something dude i would have to cut transform change like it's been we took so
much time to alter those like little ai kind of you initiated pieces. And I think that that's something that is kind
of a cool thing. And, you know, and I was actually in another space where they were talking about
music and how AI music wasn't music. And, you know, for me, I'm like, I try to see the other
side of things too. Like I hear that, but at the same time, like, how about somebody who has really awesome lyrics, but like doesn't have musical talent or maybe they don't have access to production or instruments.
And like now they can take their, you know, to just create more art and have more people able to make art.
Because not everybody's talented at every single thing, right?
Yeah.
I think five years in the future, AI is really going to stay the presence over a lot of things.
I mean, everybody's going to use it as a tool.
The people that are using it right now, like all of us, we're utilizing it
because we're building projects,
we're doing things like that.
But I think over the next five years,
it's gonna be really massively adopted
by just like normies or whatever you wanna call them.
I mean, the probability that AI is gonna be the standard
in if not five years, 10 years from now,
is almost 100%.
And I really hate saying that because I've always kind of been like,
you know, ever since I saw Terminator, I'm like,
I was all used to be against it. I love using it as a tool.
I also see it as a, as a problem later on down,
later down the line. But, uh, um, I, I know it's coming.
Uh, you got to get on board and you got to learn how to use it because if you
don't, you're going to be left behind.
So I'll leave you guys with that, but I love y'all.
I got to get in the hot tub.
My wife,
cause she's,
you know,
she's not happy.
So it's time.
All right.
We love you.
Thank you for coming.
We appreciate it.
I look forward to more.
I love you guys.
Justin.
I do want to say,
I love you too,
bro.
I'll chat with you on Thursday. Be ready. Really nice talking. Love you guys. Justin. I do want to say, I love you too, bro. I'll chat with you on Thursday.
Be ready.
Sounds good,
brother.
Testing,
bro.
Testing up the ace.
Enjoy your hot tub.
I do want to say that I,
I have been slacking and I haven't meant it a quack yet.
I finally got a client to pay an invoice yesterday.
So I got, um, so um i finally got a client to pay an invoice yesterday so i got some usdc and i plan on getting
me some quacks oh nice well definitely make sure you stake that brother and start getting that
token i love the support i appreciate you that's freaking dope i wanted to say of course gpc fans
i wanted to say too i mean because again i had. I wanted to say too, I mean, cause again,
I had an inkling that that was kind of what you, what,
what you guys do, Decentral bros,
but I have a constant flow of people that can't find good devs.
And for the really, really, really good clients,
I'm going to send them your way, man. Cause like.
Yeah, man. You know, it depends on what they're building, what they're doing. Well, we're like,
we're selective, but, um, and if we're super, super busy,
there's only three of us. I mean, we're trying,
we don't just add any dev store team. We don't, you know, cause again,
trust factor, right. And bad people, but yeah, man. Um,
we're more than happy. They can, they can go to our website, um,
hit the book now tab. Lots of people do it. I think,
I think we have like three or four consultations
a week with projects. So yeah, they can book with us there. If they try to DM us through X,
there's too many DMs. I mean, I'm the only one that handles the X account. Like Vinny doesn't
get on it. Corey doesn't get on it. So, you know, trying to do code all day long and then get over
here and handle messages and so forth. It's just exhausting. I'm not going to lie. So if you email us or you do the book now tab, absolutely. And we do get kickbacks, man.
We're going to be like, hey, if someone comes through and they spend money with us,
absolutely. We'll take care of you. We'll give you a kickback.
I'll just put it back into quackments.
Just put it back into Quack Mints.
There you go. Hey, there you go.
There you go.
Hey, there you go.
All right.
Well, hey, guys, this has been an awesome, awesome space.
Featured founder AMA with Dragon Punks.
That was awesome.
That was awesome.
Mystic, you want to take us out?
Any parting words?
Yeah.
Well, I did want to say I saw Moon came up here.
Hey, brother, how you doing? I want to say what saw moon came up here hey brother how you doing i want to say
what's up yo yeah man i've been letting y'all go y'all been killing it um freaking i'm gonna
have to get a quack and steak one soon so i can get some tokens give us some snacks too you munching
on something man quack yeah i know what you eating i'm hungry i'm cooking some ground beef right now
season it up.
Got to put it in the skillet.
And then I got some guacamole and some pretzel chips.
Oh, man.
Nice.
I'm hungry.
And cheese?
Cheese?
Melted cheese?
Wait, what was the question?
Got a little melted cheese on it?
Cheese?
A little melted, yeah.
No, no melted cheese. I was actually doing just like straight up like some hummus with and then like monster sliced cheese.
I was putting on the pretzels as well.
You know, I'm kind of just grubbing.
I only eat once a day.
I just eat like right before bed.
So I just go freaking ham every time, bro.
Man, he's doing that.
He's doing that.
He's doing that.
Oh, mad.
Pack it all in one meal.
That is I used to do that.
Right. I used to do that. And that was when I was my fittest. that that is i i used to do that right i used to do that
and that was when i was my fittest and that is definitely not the case right now but
it does definitely work and i'm just gonna say no matter for the reason you're doing it
that meal is so delicious when you finally eat oh my god it's it's it's the best it's amazing
part of the reason dude damn good food is like so hard to like come by these days you know it's amazing part of the reason dude damn good food is like so hard to like come by these days
you know it's pretty expensive and shit so i just freaking part of that's the deal and then
like you know having uh just being fasted i feel pretty good a little bit so that like there's a
lot of factors you know a little budget factor a little time factor a little health factor you know i do i will say it's not a true
fast though i do cheat and you just like i'll have like coffee or tea in the morning i mean that's
yeah that's still pretty close it's pretty close to fast
um it's it's it's it's almost a shame to close out because i mean the attendance has been pretty good you
know for friday yeah you know i'm talking about i know i'm i'm down to go if for another i don't
know till what 8 30 another you know 40 minutes or so if anybody wants to come up and kind of kick
it i'm thinking possibly switching you know based on some info that dragon punk said although we did
get a decent turnout i was thinking you know maybe maybe having Friday be just like kick it in the pond kind of Friday
and a little bit more free flow to keep, you know, and then maybe move like the featured project to the start of the Chill and Chill.
Just, you know, ideas as we this was our first week of full spaces.
We had just been doing, you know, once a week spaces.
So just, you know, kind week spaces so um just you know kind of
seeing how the flow is and monday through thursday i mean we had over 200 people almost 300 people in
some of the spaces um which was really great and i just you know it's so funny to me i don't fully
understand i guess it's because there's the anonymous listeners but like my tab right now
says 35 people but then i'll go at the end of the show
and it's gonna say you know well over 100 and so is there a way to see it throughout that like
listen like they'll pop in for like a minute or something or you know they'll listen to a portion
of it i think it's like a cumulative of all of that if i had a guess yeah i think they call it like a tuned in it's like a
number that exactly right so it's probably well if any if anybody wants to hop up oh we got one
request coming hey moonbeam and if anyone else wants to hop up if you want to you know just
kick it or share anything or ask any questions about the dragon pununks or what D-Bro's up to or what Quack's about, you're welcome to hop up
and chit-chat.
How you doing, Moonbeam? Welcome to the
stage. I am just
chilling, just working on some art.
I was like, I'm taking a break.
So I was like, I'm going to come in here and say
hello to everybody.
Hello, hello.
Hi. Hi.
Hey, it is hotter than crap here, too.
I don't know if you guys are summer just all of a sudden hit.
I don't know what happened.
Where are you at?
In Georgia? North Carolina.
North Carolina.
Georgia, yeah.
North Carolina.
Oh, there's another moon in here.
How many moons are there?
The moon's coming out over here too so
yeah you know it was weird today we had like i'm in northern california and we had like last what
two weeks ago it like got up into the high 90s and today it was like 66 and like 30 mile an hour
winds and i'm like in my boots and my long pants and my beanie like
what just happened my plants are probably we have record-breaking temps here too right now like it's
the first weekend of like you know we're like probably i don't know quarter away into the
summer and it's like it's wild like it's a 102 degrees today it's supposed to last a sunday and
it's like that's never happened here it's scorching. Wow. You would see me in...
And that's Colorado. Guys, this is Colorado.
Do you have a pool? I would be in the pool constant if it's that hot out there.
No. I mean, it's hard to maintain a pool here and everything else.
And they're expensive, right? Because the pipes freeze and if it's not heated and then people drain it.
So mostly there's just rec centers everywhere, right? And they're expensive right because the pipes freeze and then if it's not heated and then people drain it so mostly there's just rec centers everywhere right and they're indoor pools
so you can hit one of those and there's some outdoor pools but not as many as you would think
i would build something i would build something and they would come like on the muppet
space like build it and they will come there's no freaking way i'd be able to hang out in that
weather like most houses don't have AC and ours
doesn't. Now I'm like, well,
I don't know if this will come around again.
So me and the wife wait in the
garage. We're like, well, we got these three
AC units. I'm like, all right, put one in the bedroom.
Put one over here. Put one over
there. Our huskies are like, what the
heck is this? They're like just walking around
huffing and puffing. I'm like, I don't
know, man. I don't know. I don't know what to tell you.
My cat and kittens
are doing the same thing. They're looking at me like,
my gosh, mom, it's really
freaking hot in here.
Yeah, it's wild. I was,
like I said, we're in the opposite right now.
And I'm like trying to get
to the river, but not today.
It's cold, yo. not today it's cold yo so
yeah dude we have some of the really so i'm from uh oklahoma originally and like
we got gar in our rivers like you know fish with teeth and oh gars are so scary i was born in south
florida and i'm gonna catch one on the rod i'd'd be like, I'm not digging the hook. I'll cut that line.
Kick him in.
I heard, like, there was stories at, like, the
lake, like, people getting, like, chunks
of their legs bit off. Like, just,
I'm not vibing with some teeth.
Yeah, you see how big their teeth are? Like,
what is this? It's like a freak of major
over here.
Are they like piranhas? Can you eat them?
Exactly. I'm curious.
They're worse than piranhas.
They have the teeth that are like...
Imagine a fish that
looks like it's
a mouth of a lion
with these two-inch
very sharp teeth. They're everywhere.
They're massive. It's the scariest thing you can see
and look at. They're vicious.
They're more like a...
I don't know. They're kind of like barracuda. can see and look at. They're, they're, they're vicious. And like, they're more like a bear.
I don't know.
They're kind of like barracuda.
Like they're like long skinny.
These things are terrifying.
Yeah.
they're terrifying.
And so,
okay. So we had guards,
we had water moccasins,
we had leeches,
just all these awful things.
Like water moccasins would like try to swim and try to like get in your boat.
And you're like whacking it with a paddle and you like,
can't go near the edge. They're super poisonous too. I i know and you can't go near the edge of the river because
they're like fall out of the trees into your boat and shit and so now i get to california up where i
live and the water is crystal clear i mean it's cold right but it's crystal clear there's no leeches
there's no water moccasins there's no gar like you can literally
just feel safe in the water and that's like kind of cool because the ocean we got hella sharks up
here and the waves are pretty gnarly like riptide is pretty nuts like people surf in very specific
spots because of that and and so it's just nice to have like safe, clear water, you know, like it's nice.
See what's coming at you.
Like sharks though, I'm a surfer and if that's scary and if the water's clear there, that's even scarier. Like from a surfer's point of view, because it's like you can see it coming to you.
Yeah, no, the ocean is not clear.
Like your visibility when you get, it's not not clear but the rivers are there's no sharks
the the gnarles or whatever the gar i don't know i'm sure some people do but i don't know who out
there would eat gar like that's just that i'd be like i'd be like bro like really out of everything
else you can catch you're you're gonna sit here and bring this nasty, vicious-looking thing up on beach it or on the sand.
You can't even take the hook out.
I know.
You've got to club it to death and then take it out.
I have never taken a vacation.
Super primitive.
I know.
Yeah.
How about freaking noodling where you stick your hand in the hole with these
giant catfish and they bite your arm and you pull it out like i've seen you know then they like
somebody's holding somebody's feet and the catfish is pulling them under because they
some of them weigh like a hundred pounds or maybe even more like huge fish. Just wild, dude. They sting, too. Catfish sting.
They're little...
Yeah.
Yeah, they're whiskeries.
Yeah.
I used to see those poor little ducks
just like, I remember when I was younger,
and those massive catfish, you would just see these little
ducks swimming on the top of the water, and then
just sucked up and gone. The catfish
just opens its mouth, and it's like,
that duck was there.
Yeah, he's not anymore, man.
He's not anymore, that poor little duck.
They're like the whales of the lakes.
Just like the big giant mouth that just comes up and encloses it.
That's when you want to drop a bigger predator into that water
and see what happens.
Like a big fish.
Catfish is good eating though.
I'm not going to lie.
Like I do love me some,
some catfish though,
especially like Southern.
You go to one of those like Georgia gas stations that look like a hole in the
wall.
They got this like really great,
you know,
cook in there.
And you're like,
I took my wife.
We stopped in one time with the Georgia.
She's like,
you're going to get something. I was like, I'm'm telling you just wait let me come out with it and she
she ate some of it and she's like whoa I'm like yeah I told you I told you it's good huh
yeah we used to do like um we got to the lake and uh like what was it cornmeal I think they used
to like uh kind of put on it is like a flour kind of base
and then they'd fry them and it they're just so abundant you know it is fun and we'd also do it's
like the fishy chicken yeah it is and so it's really easy for a lot of people to eat and then
we do um crawfish they put them in uh it's like real backwards yeah you'd take a you'd go out
like to your campfire or whatever and you'd put a crawfish in like a can of beer and you put the
can of beer in the fire and you'd cook the crawfish that way oh my god that sounds pretty delicious
honestly because their crawfish are they grow really large yeah do you think he gets drunk as he's
dying and just makes a mess he's seeing colors and also you know he's like he's been on the
best trip of his life he's never experienced that but he's then he's dead and he's like whoa
i wish i could tell my hobbies about this you know he's like he's getting really hot but i'm having a hell of a day
yeah no and now i'm so fortunate that in the winter time we have crab season and it's
dungeness crabs so they're just like oh and you can just go down to the dock and i mean they're
gnarly though because they come live you know and you gotta deal with them. Their claws, I've seen some fishermen get wrecked by these crabs.
I got wrecked by a crab when I was younger being dumb.
I didn't know they can jump as good as they jump.
I didn't know they can jump.
I'm learning so much.
I was in a bucket, and my stepdad's sitting over there.
He's fishing on the dock.
I'm just torturing him with a long piece of grass.
I'm just twirling around in there. It just pops on the dock and I'm just like torturing him with a long piece of grass, you know, I'm just like twirling around in there and it just pops
up, latches on my finger and I just
I'm like, I swung so
hard that it finally like released
and you know what? That was a good escape plan.
He fucked my finger up, I'm not going to lie, but
he made it back in the ocean. My stepdad was so
pissed. He didn't care about my finger, the
injury. He was just pissed that I let a crab go.
That got away, huh?
A crab that got away i would deep you had to the stories he tells his buddies yeah well deep sea fishing is the crazy we went to harkers island and they have like these huge
igloos right and it's deep sea fishing and my dad would go there and you there were crabs like
everywhere and so i went on the boat with him and I was really young and I got sick I mean
the waves were like uh and they had to take me back he was so frustrated he's like okay you know
we're gonna take you back because we can't get any fishing done but it was like crazy crap I mean
you could walk to the edge of the water and you could pick one up but I was like wow we're gonna
eat really good you know but I do not like being on that boat it's like
i don't know it's it's even with motion sickness medicine i don't think i could have made it
i've been on a boat with rogue waves one time and that was like the scariest thing i was like
i was born in south florida so my family were always like boats and fishers and we'll go out
with my uncle and you know it started out little know, you're kind of like, okay, going up, going down, going up,
going down. And every wave that came after that was just like bigger and bigger. You know,
I grabbed onto the side of the metal. And at one point when you dip down, you weren't going over
the next wave, the wave was going over you, you know, and I, you know, feeling the force of the
water and mother nature like that, just like if I, I held on for dear life and I thought I was going to be ripped away and the
force through that water hitting you is just, you know, like, Hey, I love water.
I do like the oceans, but no, I'm good.
Like I'm with you.
I had two crazy experiences.
One was like, we always went to the Gulf of Mexico.
And so it's chill right like
it's like waves are like you're lucky if you're body boarding over there like it's chill and then
I went to um we went to the other side of Florida to like Cocoa Beach and there was a hurricane
coming and I must have been like I don't know know, maybe 11 or something. And, you know, the waves got huge.
And so everyone's like, oh, yeah, you know, we're freaking skimboarding
and boogieboarding and all this stuff.
And so you tie the boogie board to your arm, right, or to your foot or something.
Oh, man, I haven't heard somebody use the term boogie board in a while, man.
Yeah.
And freaking it got there was like such a gnarly undercurrent i like ate shit and then the
my board went underneath the water and it dragged me down under the water and along the shore and
so i came up like bloody like so wrecked because all the little seashells down in there like
and i you know like almost drowned dude and i was like I'm good I was pretty freaked out because
you know jaws and stuff and I was like the sharks are gonna smell the blood I can't get in the water
again and then I went to Hawaii and on the big island and there was this one beach that was like
the kind of like the little hangout zone but I swear like 15% of people made it in and out of the water without falling.
And there are these huge rocks, like big black rocks, like, I mean, six inches in diameter that made up the sand, right?
And when the waves would hit, they would throw all these rocks.
And so as you're getting in and out, you're just getting nailed with these big rocks.
So as you're getting in and out, you're just getting nailed with these big rocks.
And then watching machine and tumble.
And you're just like, fuck, I just want to sit in the water and relax.
Can you imagine the dudes?
At the end of the day, they're like, that was a stellar day, man.
Yeah.
It's wild.
I think the first time I went surfing.
They're all scratched up, beat up.
That was worth it.
It's not because your surfboard is like hooked on
you i don't know if yours was your boogie board but you have to hook it onto your leg and i took
my first deep crash and i like you i was like tumbling my surfboard was coming it's like you
don't know if you're gonna come like right back up it hurts i think i still have a scar on it's like
rocks uh that would have been even worse.
Yeah, dude.
I was born and raised in the south, and we would take the boogie boards in canals.
I don't know if anybody knows what canals are.
It's basically like dug out big trenches that just fell up with the rainwater, and they have guard.
Oh, so you know what I'm talking about.
So here's how we would do it.
We would tie the same line you would use for a boat to pull a kneeboard or anything.
We would tie to the back like a 400 EX four-wheeler.
The four-wheeler would be up on the dry part.
And then they would just take off and you'd be boogie boarding down the, you know.
I mean, there was definitely crap in there.
People would throw junk in there.
So you didn't know if you're going to hit a toilet or, yeah, exactly.
Yep.
That sounds very Florida too.
That was a really good florida man description a toilet
you're gonna hit a toilet i'm telling you people throw because they're out there and like you're
talking about like redneck feel like oh yeah like they're out there with their trucks like i mean
the police please don't go out there because it's like middle of like a car's can't in the first
place you that might cruise in on four wheelers or whatever but most most times they'll never see
them so you'll see gators and stuff in there.
This is how like hick it is.
Like you'll, you'll, you'll see people riding down trucks at night.
They'll shoot a gator, pull it out and cook it on the spot around the fire with big old
jacked up trucks and shit.
Oh my gosh.
A gator.
I've eaten alligator.
It's actually really good, but I would not be able to swim with alligators because.
No, no, no, no, no.
Dude, they're so fast.
Oh my gosh.
No way.
Ducks are not friends with alligators.
My friend's mom's sister died young
when she was eating by an alligator
because they're outside playing
and she got ants all over her and ran into a canal
and it just got her.
Oh my god.
I'm so sorry.
Oh yeah.
It is terrible.
It's absolutely terrible but it's crazy
what you think.
You're like, oh let's go put a raft in that canal.
Have fun man.
You know.
Maybe bring a shotgun too you know
yeah because they a gator will grab you and they twist you like they're do the death roll right
that's the thing the death roll yeah oh i'm so sorry well you know what we keep gators at a strong distance being ducks.
So we're okay here.
It's a safe space.
Yep, yep.
I'll stick with them.
We need like a million ducks
and we'll gang up on them and beat their ass.
There you go.
Fighter ducks.
Yeah, I mean, we are gonna have fighter ducks,
much like Dragon Punks.
We're teamed up with the, gosh, I'm gonna butcher,
I can't, my brain, you know,
some of those words that you just can't say. So it's infinite NFT like is that right d bros did i get that infinite ft ah it's
this really i don't even know what you're talking about no like toshi and uh anthony's
yeah yeah yeah i saw earlier on their timeline it was like some fighting thing yeah so we are
gonna have quacks in that so it's
like a nft fighter game where there's a few different um nfts from different communities
and they're gonna battle each other and so we're gonna have some ducks in there
and so it supports like what multiple networks or something i'm pinning it i'm pinning you have to
send me a link okay yeah thank you it's in nest right now. I'm actually pinning it from an announcement
that they did with
Dragon Punks. I guess this was
the character that they added in. He's looking
pretty tough. He's got his wings out
in a suit, throwing some jabs.
I don't want to go up against him.
I'll be honest. No, I know. I was like,
dang, they breathe fire and stuff.
I guess we'll throw water
or something.
Everything has a weakness i mean i'm a big pokemon guy to an anime
so you know i mean everything has a weakness right like yeah i think we could have like maybe an air
attack you know with the with the wings like do a little gust you know there you go oh i remember
seeing this run yeah okay infinite and t Infinite NFT Royale. Yeah. Okay.
Infinite NFT, right? That's what it sounds like.
Yeah. I mean, that's how I pronounce it.
No, my brain.
Yeah.
Infinite NFT. I don't know. I guess. I don't know.
I think they're coming out next. I think it's next week or within the next two weeks for sure.
So that's exciting. We're getting our NFTs over to them this weekend so they can get our characters loaded up into that game.
And duckies will be fine.
You know what one of your ducks should have?
You should have like a Dragon Ball Z duck.
Throw some freaking Kamehameha's at them, man.
Yes, dude.
I'm all about it.
That sounds fun.
I like it.
Well, again, I'm going to remind everybody,
if anybody up down below
wants to hop up and chit chat or talk about something you got going on or just hang out on Friday night
We're happy to have you probably keep it going for just a little bit longer. We got over 30 people in here
So thanks y'all for coming by. Thanks for those that came to also support Dragon Punks and D Bros with what they're building over on Abstract.
Make sure you check those pin posts up there and kind of get a little bit of information on what they got going on.
They're building stable coins.
They got NFTs, music on chain.
There's just so much that they're up to and that they're building.
So there's also a link on how to set up an abstract wallet
adam did it he said it was really very easy and uh you can get yourself a an nft on there
oh i think he said magic eden or open seat i'm gonna buy a button remember those old
school buttons that was easy you know yes the real life soundboard back back before we had to have it like an individual
device oh indeed you're real you were talking about tamagotchis earlier like holy smokes that
was there's one of our traits is like a little kitty cat necklace and it's like in the shape
of a tamagotchi and that was a big inspiration for that one because they were just so fun i was thinking about that and what was it neocats will never experience the cool stuff that
we did like i mean they'd be like that's dumb i'd be like no you don't i mean we didn't have a cell
phone there was no internet there's none of that yeah you had a tamagotchi dude if you didn't die
then you had to reset it you better take care of that i know no it'd be so sad when you remember the people with the
keychains that have like 10 of them like i don't know how you doing that bro i know like how do you
freaking maintain all these your baby sitting over there yeah he's basically at work not working he's
just playing with this one feeding that one you know it's like sims sims on a little keychain. Oh, boy. Yeah, dude.
Yeah, I'm 31, so I'm on the lower end
of y'all, but I still got a lot of
that. I remember dial-up
and just...
Yeah, your brother would pick
up the phone when you're connected with AOL.
The guy's cruising across
the screen, and the only thing that was fast
on dial-up, I don't know if you guys remember AOL
and instant messenger, and you would sit there and you get all hype you know when your friend would
come the door would open and make a door sound like it would open and it would slam shut when
they left and like yeah you were like oh the homie's on let me hit the messenger man like
that was the best yeah i remember like my first phone was like Nokia, and you could change out the little plate colors.
And then I got one upgraded.
That was the best time.
All the kiosks at the malls when you still buy light-up antennas.
The light-up stuff.
You could super trick out your things.
It was great.
I love that.
You see somebody walking around, they're talking, their phone's going up.
It's all like a disco show.
Yeah, like playing freaking Snake, you know,
and like super minimal on the games.
But so fun.
Like Snake is like, I swear,
one of the most addicting freaking games out there.
That was one of the first like slim mobile phones.
I remember that.
My mom got one.
I mean, and the cases back in the day, they didn didn't have hard cases it was like a leather case with like a
plastic sleeve over the display you know what i'm saying it was like that was supposed to protect
it right and but they were built they were built like bricks they were really bricks but
no my brother would be like it's my turn on snake no you beat my high score you know like snake was
the first ever game on a cell
phone right totally you're like mom give me the phone let me play snake come on
yeah dude it's pretty much love guys i gotta bolt out i gotta go make some dinner for the wife and
this was honestly an amazing space and it was super great to chat with you adam and everybody
in here um and let's stay in touch, man.
I'm trying to be on next as much as I can, but I'll catch you around again.
Oh, dude.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
We got spaces every single weekday.
I'm going to be specifically here co-hosting or main hosting on Thursday, Friday.
We got a space for everyone.
And I did catch the tail end of one that you were
on with the Qwack fam. So we'll see each other probably even next week or if not sooner.
Yeah. And I heard you mentioned that you had like a community and stuff as well too. So
I'll check it out. Please, please, please join. It's CoinZ. If you just type in C-O-Y-N-Z-Y,
CoinZ. Small group, all really, really good people.
Everyone here is welcome to join, by the way.
It's not like gatecapped or anything.
It was C-O-Y what?
C-O-Y-N-Z-Y, Coinsy.
And that's on X and Telegram, right?
The main group is Telegram?
The main thing is TG, yeah.
And basic rules and stuff.
Everyone that's here will...
Oh, nice.
I already follow you.
Cool. Okay.
Yeah, there we go.
Hey, Adam, you want to pin up a... Do you have on that Coinsy
X, do you have a Telegram link or pin something up?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm really bad at self-promotion.
I know. Me too.
I like listening to other people.
Me too, man. I don't ever... People are like, what do you tell people to buy D-Bro?
I'm like, I don't know. I what you tell people to buy d bro i'm like
i don't know i'll never tell them about d bro no never tell them to go and stay i'll never tell
them to wrap or you know enjoy the utilities i don't know i'm too busy building and uh you know
yeah i you know like there's things in the company like certain people say like when uh
sam was saying i'm the business guy he's this. It is a real thing in this industry where you can't wear every hat, right? It starts getting overwhelming. And so much love, dude. It was fantastic. Your
questions were amazing. Very well spoken. And it seemed like you, I don't know if you had something
like documented and prepped over there or if it was on the fly, but you were-
All on the fly. Yeah, no, I appreciate that,
man. I mean, from one crypto, I guess, professional to definitely one that you are.
I mean, I do this full time. I love talking to people. I love discovering cool tech.
And where I made my first money was in a utility project. So I definitely have a lot of love for
the space. I also love memes too, but my real passion is in utility.
I like to dig in a little bit.
So yeah.
We don't just build for people and clients too, man.
If you look at our profile stuff, we'll go out there,
like even doms and certain things like that.
We weren't even partners with them and now we're building for them.
But we liked what they were doing with the plushies and certain things
that we just decided to spend our own time and build a, you know, $10,000 wrapping mechanism in a site.
And so you can wrap your D bro and doms and enjoy music utility.
So, so if you have anything or anything that's out there, that's legitimate again, you know,
we, I think we talked about earlier, people could be fly by night and disappear.
We're very selective on that, but you know, I just want to let everybody know contracts are out there.
They're open source.
Everybody has access to the ABI.
So if you really like that project or anything else and you have an idea, go integrate it into your stuff.
Go build with it.
You don't need their permission.
It's called Built by the People for the People, and it's ABI.
It's on chain.
That's all you need.
It's JSON data, and it's abi it's on it's on chain that's all you need you know it's json data and
go build with it so um mad love and amazing space guys seriously and i hope everybody has a beautiful
weekend oh man enjoy enjoy really nice talking at length man yeah blessings y'all enjoy the week
so um one final thing though one final thing, if you enjoyed today's space, please, please, please follow the main Quack account.
Decentral Bros is still here.
Please throw him a follow as well as well.
But again, please check out Quack Life.
I don't work with many teams just personally.
I'm still very new as an ambassador, and I really vibe with Quack.
Like, you know, again, it's just
one of those things. There are few and far between teams that are really like spending time to build
things the right way. And no matter what, this is that team. And they ally themselves with a lot of
other great, great teams. So go give us a look, see what you think. I'm gonna be over there vibing.
And I think we're going to
close out. So Mystic, I'll hand the mic back. Yeah, I appreciate those words for sure, Adam.
And, you know, just trying to do better in this space. And actually, you know, besides just like
when we first got in here, you know, we saw into the meme world, just such as crazy extraction happening on Solana and,
and just, you know, people just posting videos of money and Lamborghinis and all this fancy stuff
and not actually building anything for the people or for the planet and just kind of extracting and
then taking it for selfish reasons. And so, you know, trying to build hubs that benefit our,
And so, you know, trying to build hubs that benefit our people and also are sustainably minded and kind of help showcase and educate, you know, the main public about some different kind of ways of building and relating with the world.
And so, you know, I think somebody was talking about it earlier about, you know, not liking meme coins.
And I think that, you know, it's an interesting term,
right? Like we have a token and I don't often call it a meme coin. I mean, it's in that realm,
right? Because let's be real, like we're on Solana and that's what this industry is, is
based a lot on. But, um, you know, like you said, that utility or that having different things,
different ways to reward our holders, different, um, you know, profit sharing said, that utility or that having different things, different ways to reward our holders, different, you know, profit sharing and all sorts of things that are, you know,
coming and it's just really exciting to build. And it's really great to connect with people like
D-Bros and Dragon Punks that are also trying to pave a different way and bring, you know,
more utility to that network. And it's a huge part of what we want to do with Solana, you know, more utility to that network. And it's a huge part of what we want to do with Solana, you know, being able to spend soul in real life for resort-like experiences, for vacations and
events and music, and being able to bring some utility back to Solana in the real world and to
cross that over into Web2. And that's why we've been doing a lot of in real life education outreach and starting crypto clubs in our local areas to kind of switch the narrative on what crypto is and what it can be.
And turn that like, oh, it's all scam to, oh, wow, there's like, you know, it's this like way of crowdfunding and this way of really joining forces with,
with the projects. Like where can you, you know,
it's like most people go to TradFi, right? They go to banks,
they get investors and those investors are just cut and dry,
just there for the money. They don't really care.
It's just about numbers on paper and percentages of returns.
And here we can find people who love the vision and believe in it and want to see it kind
of come to life and I think that's really a special thing that I love about Solana is that
you know I didn't expect to find family I've said it many times and that's what I find and I think
that's just such a beautiful thing and so the more we can showcase things and, you know, crypto
Twitter too, like X spaces are awesome to be able to get to come up and talk to all sorts of different
people from all over the world. Like it's just such a cool thing. And, and so finding ways to,
you know, get the normies over here and, and kind of, you know, for all of us, it's, it's best if we
get some mass adoption. So, um, just really happy to be building in the space at this time.
I know the markets are slow and, you know, I'm similar to D-Bros where I don't go around and tell anybody to buy anything.
I just tell them what we're up to.
And if people like it and want to see it come to life, then, you know, they'll put some money into it, whether that's minting NFTs or, you know, buying a token, getting some merch, you know, they'll put some money into it, whether that's maintaining NFTs or, you know, buying the token, getting some merch, you know, so I think it's just really special that we have this,
this time while the markets aren't crazy pumping to get to build and to keep creating that
community. And it's just nuts to see what's happened. Like we launched completely ghost
launched and here we are in like a week, it'll be four months
and we had zero following on X. We knew absolutely nobody besides one person in this, this system.
And he helped us set up a telegram and kind of get our legs off the floor when we were getting
started. And, um, it's just been, it's just been amazing. So I, I'm just really happy to,
to be here and to have met so
many people we're almost at 4,000 followers which just like blows my mind and you know more and
more people showing up to the spaces and just really cool and to be able to start to open those
spaces into different things right like mindful wellness and you know crypto technical analysis
on bitcoin and solana and
and having shilling girl sessions and collaborative mint parties with the solana does this last week
was just so much fun like it was way you know we had done our own mint parties but
in every week we were doing the same thing and it was just kind of like we need some new energy and
some freshness and to be able to bring on another project and banter back and forth about all this cool art stuff and all this different utility we could bring to our communities, I think is just really great.
So I'm just super bullish on crypto.
I'm bullish on Solana.
I'm bullish on Quack.
I'm bullish on D-Bros and Dragon Punks and the GreenPilt Collective.
And I just can't wait to see, you know,
how everything grows and flourishes. And yeah, there's my little,
that's quite the model.
I'll give some final words too.
I just wanted to hang out while you close the space, but you know,
prepping these pork chops, but I do want to say, I don't,
I'm not a fan of Solana really. I mean, but you know, it's okay.
But, but you said, extracting and taking and just hurting people.
And it was just the hype game, right?
The hype, hype, hype, hype.
But the value and the love that you guys bring.
the value and the love that you guys bring the same thing with our homies over at solana deads
The same thing with our homies over at Solana Dads.
i have no problem at all supporting people out there do you know actually caring and helping
people and bringing value and just because you know the chain you know again it goes with bad
people it's like saying hey you're not gonna go then do that because there's bad people there's
bad people everywhere and there's bad things happening everywhere but there can be some light
there can be some really great people i mentioned that one making amazing friends in web3 and so I support
people that are out there like you guys and doing the quack life and the salon of dads and absolutely
so I'm gonna make sure that tomorrow I'm gonna mint quite a few duckies and I'm going to head over to, I think it's on Meteor, right? You're staking.
Yes. Well, no, sorry.
We have the Meteor top 50 and we have the Radium is our rewards pool.
So that's like a stake liquidity and token.
We do have a stake to earn Meteor pool,
but we're not really thrilled with their platform.
And so that's why-
Yeah, I think I remember talking about that
when we were talking about the dev call and stuff.
There's like, you can't load something
or do more or whatever.
Yeah. Okay.
So send me some links.
That way, I'm going to actually,
I'm going to DM you my email
and just send me some links.
So after I get the NFTs,
I'll just hit right over to those links where you want me to stay come or put in liquidity. I'll be more than happy to support you guys.
Also, if you tap on my profile,
you can see there's a link tree in there and that has all this stuff laid out
for you.
I got pork chop fingers, you know, but it's okay. No,
you know what they say when you're
touching pork, they'll be, you know, whatever. Hey, YOLO, YOLO. Oh man. I really appreciate
that. And yeah, it's, it feels, you know, nice to kind of be trying to do something different and,
and people see that. And I think that that's why the community is growing like it is. And,
you know, people can feel that, that genuinity and yeah, so it's pretty awesome. Thanks, D Bros. Appreciate you for being
here. Really great leader in the space. Again, if anybody is needing any kind of dev work,
hit them with the email and, you know, kind of touch base and see if they're, you know,
available to help you out. They build some pretty elaborate stuff.
So they're epic over there.
Well, Adam, did I miss anything?
Did I need to touch on anything?
I think it's been a pretty comprehensive Friday here.
We got to do a really nice deep dive with the Dragon Punks, right?
We got to touch on some needs within Abstract, learn about Abstract, because I knew nothing really about them before this.
And I educated myself through them and set up my first wallet.
It was just really interactive.
It was a vibe.
Got to hear about what it takes to really you know stand out what good building looks like the
importance of community and the collective a little bit about quack learning about the
terrifying fish in the water you know we've got a little bit of it that's really good
so yeah I'm in southern Florida by the way so. So, like, thanks. I'm just not going to go near.
Enjoy the gar, bro.
Oh, yeah.
You know, right now at night.
Let me jump in.
Maybe for another day.
But no, this was genuinely a huge, huge blast.
And couldn't think of a better way to, you know, spend a Friday evening here with a bunch of crypto like-minded friends and more friends to come so
again i just implore everyone if you like what you heard please follow you know everyone on deck you
don't need to follow me but please follow quack if you want to you can sure but follow bros and
please follow dragon punks as well i absolutely was vibing i was already dming with them they put
the amazing offer of saying like hey well you know, you know, you set up on abstract.
I'll send you an NFT.
I think that's so cool.
Just I love teams that are looking towards adoption, right?
Looking towards adoption and really taking it serious
and just going with their full heart into it.
So if that bot vibes with you,
spend a little bit of time,
click a couple buttons
and see what you discover behind that.
But I think we're going to close there then.
So, hey, thank you, everyone.
Hope you have a fantastic weekend.
Remember, guys, Monday through Friday, there is a space for you here with the Quack Fan.
Make sure to visit our schedule.
I did pin it up to the top, I believe.
You can also scroll through the timeline to be able to find some of those spaces.
If you have any suggestions, if you have
any questions around Quack, how to mint, how to stake, anything like that, jump in to the TG. It
is very comprehensive. We have it broken down into specific sections and you're going to find a
fantastic community that actually is like-minded, just like a lot of the folks here. So have some
fun, touch some grass, relax a little bit, and we'll come back in full force starting Monday again.
Yeah, sounds great.
Again, that is 9 p.m. Eastern is every weeknight.
And, yeah, just turn on Noties for this account too,
and then you'll make sure you're always tapped in anytime we go live.
So, again, like you said, I hope everybody has a beautiful weekend,
and we'll quack you next week.
