What the fuck?
Amazing, that's amazing
Do it shamelessly, Cairo, do it shamelessly
It's all good

For as long as my connection holds out
And if anything happens, then I'll, I'll jump on through the other account.
Um, I do want to give a shout out to, to, um, to cheeses and say,
thank you so much for having us on your space.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Yeah.
We're excited to have you guys on.
It's been a while.
I think the first time you guys came on, um, it,
I think it was at the beginning of the year, I believe.
It was early on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it had been a minute.
It was shortly after the CTO, I think.
And I think you guys, I think at that point, hell, I'm trying to remember.
Remember, it's been a minute.
It's been a minute.
So, yeah, it's been a long time coming.
Glad to have you guys back on because there is a lot happening over at SUI and with Hippo as well.
I guess the biggest thing is let's dive in.
If you want to describe what Hippo is, what the mission is with Hippo as far as CTO goes, because CTOs are pretty powerful.
And if...
Pamp it.
Pamp it.
But yeah, if you just want to give a little background on Hippo itself,
and then we can dive into what's been happening.
Yeah, sure.
But, you know, it sounds like you've been, it sounds like you've known about Hippo CTO even before I have. So I personally
joined the team a couple of months ago. I've been around and involved in the Web3 space
for quite a while. Hippo CTO is a very exciting one. We were the OG runner on Sui the og cto on on sui as as far as memes go and um yeah we are the the first the first token
um or meme token on sui to be listed on binance perps binance alpha um yesterday we we hooked up
this well kraken listing um we've got we're on so many um sexes dexes now that I can't even go through the whole list.
Just super, super bullish.
We have a very bullish, very seasoned, very dedicated, full-time team working on this project.
We absolutely love it.
And I'm going to give a shout out to my colleague behind this Flash account.
Mila, come up and shamelessly farm up on the stage as well if you want to. Oh, is that Mila? You said Mila come up and shamelessly farm up on the stage as well if you want to is that Mila you said Mila
yes yes okay yeah
she was trying to come up and I'm like there was
a long list of people
so we'll invite her
up here yeah she can
come farm as well let me get
normally I would let any schizo on this stage
the second hit the request button
I would hit accept but today
We're trying to make room specifically for you guys
I know I don't know how
We'll see if she talks
Mila are you there?
Hello?
What's up?
I am going to use Flash account
To speak
Also thank you so much for
Having us it's such a Great opportunity to talk a little Splash account to speak. Also, thank you so much for having us.
It's such a great opportunity to talk a little bit more
about what Hippo as the whole Hippo universe
has been building as Splash is a part of Hippo
and the entire ecosystem.
So super, super excited to be here.
Although I do not have that much time.
I think I'm going to be here for the next 10 to 15 minutes and then I'm going to go.
But I am of course going to leave Splash as the account to be on the stage.
Nice.
Okay.
Well, do we want to jump into some Splash stuff first?
That way Mila can talk.
And then that way we can get firsthand info from her.
Is that good with you?
All right, let's go.
Mila, what is Splash?
Because is it a launch pad?
Is it a pump fund for Sui?
What is Splash doing?
What is the main objectives with Splash?
Well, to pick the DGN brains and maybe explain it in the best way possible, I would say that, yeah, you could compare Splash to a pump fan en suite, but this would be, and oh my God, there's so much more than just this feature. You might remember hiphop.fun because this is our old version of the platform.
So essentially what happened is Hippo has been building a couple of very cool features, a couple of very cool stuff for the community.
And Hippo, Fun Fun like platform was an idea.
a pump-fun-like platform was an idea.
Then we started building it, and we understood that all the functionalities
that we are trying to introduce and we have introduced already
are just so much bigger than just Hippo universe.
We are actually building for Sui.
We are building for the entire blockchain, for the community.
And we wanted to focus on safety. So Splash is a fair launch platform for all tokens on Sui.
So you can obviously launch meme coins if you want,
but also utility coins.
And here we really want to focus on giving people
the fair and safe experience with early investments in the coins the so i i remember um i remember
the there was another platform i think uh like this on tron i think sundog was helping with that
one and they did a lot of support for ecosystems that were coming in
teams that were launching on their platform is is hippo and and splash like are they helping these
communities that do create tokens on splash like is there any support there because like on pump
fun you don't get you don't get nothing it's just like create a token if it goes it goes um does splash itself help support other brands or hippo that that successfully launch
yeah that's a very good question and uh let me start with hippo is not associated with
sandog nor the platform that the team has created. So there is no
any kind of direct connection
with that.
And with support for the teams.
Yeah, this is one of the
features. So essentially
the safe
experience and
the people who we actually
want to attract to launch on Splash
are people who want to contribute to
the ecosystem. So this wouldn't be your launch and rug within five seconds. But people who
would rather build something for the entire Sui ecosystem. So of course, we are there to provide teams
with advisory, with marketing,
with any assets that we potentially can provide them with
to help them with their success.
However, as I have mentioned,
we are a fair launch platform.
So we don't have any teams lined up
that we would be supporting pre-launch
since, of course, education is free and you can always reach out for education, but we are not
investing in any projects. We are not providing anyone with any kind of funds because then it
goes against the idea of decentralization and it wouldn't defer towards anyone participating on the platform.
So first, come with your idea.
If you have questions, we are super happy to help you.
We have a support chat through Splash on Telegram.
But then once the team launches, once the team reaches certain market caps. We're also super happy to introduce them to the network
to help them achieve the greatest success they can.
Plus there is also a group chat
for projects that have launched on Splash.
It is also a dedicated support group.
So we are very happy to contribute as much as we can to team's success and help them when it
makes sense and it brings value to the entire SUE ecosystem. Are there certainly extra controls on
Splash versus like a pump fund for like say I'm a utility coin and I don't want my supply to get sniped.
I mean, just like things like that.
I know you said fair launch.
Sometimes that definition gets a bit slippery.
Like is there any extra utility for me to be able to control who ends up with the supply of my token if I wanted to launch something that wasn't just a meme that did have some utility in mind?
So obviously we're working on a lot of solutions right now, and the platform is being also under construction right now,
following the CTOS hack.
However, to ensure the safety, we also have a couple of other things.
We can have token security overview.
So if you are either launching or investing,
we can have security score that is divided between a couple of categories.
So we have team holdings, insider holdings, top 10 holders, and liquidity status.
So it's also done in a very easy way.
So your average investor who wouldn't maybe have a lot of knowledge about DeFi and ICOs
will have a very easy understanding if that's safe or not, because we have three tiers we have green flag yellow flag and let the red flag
um and it's based on the scoring so obviously it's just done for everyone to be as safe as
possible on the platform we also have some ai features uh that would that will help uh people
launch and also the community to monitor uh what kind of, if there's any explicit content,
we are taking measurements to prevent that, to make sure that situations that were happening
on Fun Fun are not going to repeat it at Splash.
That's nice.
The Hippo account has his hand up.
Maybe they wanted to speak on something she was hitting on.
Go ahead, Zen.
Oh, yeah.
I'm a serial emoji user, by the way.
And I love my hand up on stages.
Oh, wow.
Now I'm choking.
I just want to add to what Mila said.
And she put it so well.
But that question came like you were sitting in our brainstorming room,
when we were sitting talking to projects and talking about, like,
what features people would need and how we would be able to support projects
that were not just meme tokens and that were AI supply.
And like when we look at like the tokenomics behind certain projects, there is reason behind
And, like, when we look at, like, the tokenomics behind certain projects,
why teams will want to control certain supply and will want to have that kind of flexibility
and that opportunity.
So that is something that is in discussion.
We do have a full-time dedicated team that is constantly exploring how we make this platform the most versatile one of our biggest
focuses is giving choice to the people that are launching so that they are able to launch in the
way that they want to and that works and suits their project um so yes it is one of the big
features that we are considering that we are um planning for the. I'm not going to give any hard promises on timelines or anything like that,
but we are constantly working to make this a long-term solution
for people that are looking to come and build within the SUI ecosystem.
It's not going to be a flash in the pan, pump.fund kind of project.
This is a long-term vision that we have.
Yeah, you know, because like one of the main
complaints about pump fun is you know it's highly extractive you know um there is no kind of
rewarding um to the community now they've set up lps recently but we've seen a brash of solana
launch pads you know recently you know you have launch labs from Radium. We have Let's Bonk.Fun from BonkBot or the BonkCoin itself.
We saw Ben Pasternak with LaunchCoin, allowing Web2 developers to come into Web3 via a token launch.
token launch. So, you know, it seems like the most recent models have been geared towards,
you know, kind of giving back or at least some type of revenue share towards, you know,
developers launching on their platform. So, you know, do y'all have like, is that kind of the
direction y'all want to go is to somewhat incentivize people to come over and launch on Splash? Like, is that something y'all are considering? So as far as revenue share,
I don't, I can't comment on that. I will say again, it is something we were discussing all
angles, right? And we're looking for how we bring the most value. And like I said, the Hippo CTO
team is a full-time dedicated team.
And this is one of the many projects
that we're looking to build out
and one of the contributions that we're making.
So right now, the model that we have set up for Splash
is that 50% of any revenue generated from that platform
goes back into buybacks and burns of Hippo
so that we can benefit our community and
bring value back to the community that have allowed us to be able to build out the solution
and to give us the opportunity to to bring this vision to life so that's um that is like on the
top of our list in terms of of giving back right we want people to be a part of the HIPPO community, but we also want to bring value to the ecosystem as a whole.
And that's how we ensure longevity,
and that's how we ensure that we are able to carry on building solutions like this.
Yeah, because I'm looking at the tweet from yesterday
where you guys announced that the HIPPO buyback and burn is live.
50% of all splash fees now go to weekly hippo buybacks and burns uh fuel in the ecosystem one drop at a time
um and the platform has only been live since the 16th i believe uh is what i'd seen on the post i
have one pinned at the top for anyone looking for uh you know, official links for Splash.
Practice that ahead of time, Chase? You don't usually read that good.
No, no, no.
Dude, I'm improving.
At nighttime, I go through and I'm, like, doing this reading for idiots,
written by an idiot.
So I'm, you know, I'm working on it.
So just calm down.
I'm proud of myself for that.
I might clip that myself and just put that
out there on the thing i'm putting a gold star on the board for you today i know um but yeah so
one of the big things obviously we haven't talked about it is the the the hack with cedus like how
has that impacted hippo uh c? How has that impacted the community?
Was everybody freaking the fuck out?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it was a hack.
I think it was a bad code that was exploited.
Yeah, exactly.
But it was still a lot of fucking money.
And I guess they were able to recover some of the funds.
Well, I believe they were able to recover 100% as of a post I saw, I think, yesterday, the day before.
I could be wrong.
But, yeah, I am curious to know, you know, what was community sentiment?
Were you guys, like, internally, like, as a team, kind of really concerned about the situation?
How did that all go down?
all go down yeah um so so honestly it was it was just very unfortunate timing for us because
Yeah.
we had just launched splash two days before uh the incident happened um i'm not gonna call it
a hack or an exploit because like i am just marketing um but um it was very very unfortunate
time for us because we had we had just launched two days prior and it completely put a halt to the platform.
But we still did follow through like anything that was generated on the platform.
Cheers to touch on what you mentioned.
Like we showed, went to buyback and burns of Hippo like straight away.
back and burns of hippo like straight away and that was just from the first two days that we had
And that was just from the first two days that we had.
as far as as far as the hack goes it's it halted our um our platform and we're still not up and
functioning um like fully yet we were waiting for to see how this develops and how this builds out
what's insane about this is that from the beginning and from inception,
Splash was, we have always been in contact with other DEXs, other, I guess, platforms in the
ecosystem because we are a very collaborative team. We see like rising tides float all boats.
We want to give, again, I'm going to sound like a stuck all boats if we want to give again i'm going to sound like
a stuck tape recorder we want to give choice back to the people that are launching on splash
so it was always part of the original plan to include um other decks and give people
opportunities and give them choices as to where they want to launch and what they want to launch
on um cetus was just our original og partner that we, that we built out the platform with.
And it was just very unfortunate timing as far as,
to bring it back to hippo,
um, our chart,
I guess was affected very slightly,
but if you look in terms of percentages,
like,
like how we were affected,
it wasn't even,
it didn't even touch sides with,
with,
with most of the other,
um, with the other meme coins that unfortunately
did take a bit of a knock.
I think for us, it's because we are lucky enough to be well spread out within the ecosystem.
We are, for example, the first Sui meme that's on Binance perps.
We're the first Sui meme on Binance Alpha.
We got listed on Kraken yesterday.
We are on other duxes and other sexes
and you can buy and sell.
It's one of the most traded tokens on Sui as a whole.
So for us, we managed to hold a very healthy floor
throughout everything that happened.
Our team stepped up very fast.
One of our core team stepped up straight away
in one of the spaces and said,
the team is ready to step in with buyback initiatives
to encourage our community and to tell them
that like we are here, we are in this for the long run.
This is just a blip in like the journey
that we have together. So yeah i think it was handled
very well i think i'm gonna give a massive shout out to like the sui ecosystem as a whole and
adini himself and and and david from lofi and everyone that is stepping up um and showing that
this is a collaborative ecosystem um the way it was handled i think was just like top-notch next level and and yeah yeah
just super well even the sui token didn't like get much effect from it like i thought
i was like oh shit this is about to be bad yeah and i thought the token i thought sui was like
i thought we were done yeah i thought it was Relative to the X or however we want to word it,
you know, Sui's held up incredibly well.
Actually, Green on the day is still sitting at $3.58 now.
Last week prior to the incident, it did run up to $4.30.
But still, overall on the...
Why do I, Kenny, why do I feel like we're on national news?
And you know, like when there's like a terrorist terrorist attack they don't want to name the terrorist but they're trying to come
up with different names for the terrorist um that's what's happening we're trying to figure
out different words to use other than everybody i was hanging around that day was like oh big
buying opportunity that was the reaction i got everybody was like had already been super bullish
on suey and everything on suey i mean that was just the sentiment i got from all the spaces i
was hanging yeah i mean considering you know the week itself it's only down about 10 you know
on the week um and showing relative strength i mean the market cap's still sitting at 12
12 billion volume on suey a billion on trading you know so i mean like it didn't it didn't like
completely like you know obviously unfortunate things like this happen but the strength of sui
you know has been extremely strong you know considering you know over the past year to date
it's up 255 you know it was 90 at 46 cents at one point last year sitting at 358 right now so i mean it's
it you know a lot of people think it's the the up and coming kind of you know next you know i don't
want to make the comparison but like a solana style play you know when solana was you know still
in it in its you know infancy. What's funny is we had,
Jatoshi came into a back channel chat,
Zen,
and he's just a friend of ours,
and he's like,
bro, I think I'm going to long,
he's like,
you guys need to long Hippo right here.
He's like, I've got Alpha.
And this was the day before the Cetus thing happened.
And so like,
I don't know if anybody else in the chat
had done anything or did
it but he put a long position out and it the hippo chart did not get squeezed enough for him i i don't
know what you know his position was but i think he had lost a little bit but then he put another long
like back in again on top of it and this guy guy is 100% like just insanely bullish on Hippo.
Every day he gives us an update on what's going on with his position.
But for the most part, I was looking at a lot of other memes that day
and they fell heavily.
The community did not rally behind the token.
A lot of the communities didn't have the support that
obviously Hippo has. So congratulations to the community as well to be able to withstand
something like that. But then also the SUI network for rebounding so quick and then being able to
now recover the funds. I see the quote tweet or quote post from splash uh
about the vote to return frozen funds to the cedis protocol um and which is good so i don't
how fast does that happen like when does the is there any word on that oh man you're asking you
are asking the wrong you don't know no i think there has to be a i think
there's still a vote that has to happen on that cheese it might be validators i'm not exactly sure
well it's i mean they passed the refund yeah yeah it has passed but now what's the next steps like
how do they re-inject the liquidity who gets what liquidity like yeah and obviously that's above i think
essentially it's a loan that comes from sui foundation for cedars to return funds to users
and then how that gets paid off i think that's um i don't know the details between that between
like the details about that but that is essentially how it happens so it would be a loan from sui
foundation to support cedars in giving back and returning the liquidity to all the projects that were affected um and then wow
the payback conditions i'm not sure yeah that's pretty that's pretty big um that's that's a lot
of moving wheels i would like to be in the the call on that when that shit's happening and who's
deciding what because I mean you're
you're dealing with a lot of people's money at that point so they have to be really careful
on how they handle that um Cairo did you have a question about it uh yo can you hear me yeah we
got you nice uh I got a question I remember when Sui first came out like it it's an ex Facebook uh
meta project right so they got some regulations and nobody seems to be talking about that anymore
is that not a topic anymore or what oh man it's a it's a huge topic um we're so so so the hippo
CTO team we're lucky enough to be in like very close contact and have like really good relationships with, with Sui Foundation and Sui founders and builders and devs and marketers
and everything. The team that they have there is just incredible, man. The move language was
originally adapted from Diablo, which was a Facebook project. The team and the devs that
they have building out there have worked on platforms that we use in
our daily lives right now like WhatsApp, Facebook, these massive massive platforms and so the vision
for Sui essentially has always been huge. It's always been mainstream. It's always been,
it's not a project or it's not a team that's come out of Web3.
It's a team that's built things that have contributed to our daily infrastructure.
And now they're coming into Web3 and they're bringing that vision.
They're bringing that experience.
When you speak to any of the team, for example, and I mentioned this in a space before this,
I attended a talk that Costas gave for the opening of Sui Hub in Dubai.
And when he spoke, he said, our vision is not the next Solana. Our vision is way, way bigger.
Our focus is far beyond what people even comprehend within Web 3 and and I think that's
That's just so bullish. So yes, it's absolutely something that's discussed the team are incredible
They they're just on another level man. They're on a totally other level to people other people that I've seen in the space
Yeah, I didn't even know that about
Siri, I don't know why
But thank you for bringing that up that was a good uh
a good point jonah did oh what's up bro how you doing did you have any uh questions about hippo or
or sui are you up here farming the stage too are you i figured you were this guy dropped the game
two days ago i'm fucking abstract people know like i feel like my whole strategy is that whenever
people forget to play my game, I just stay up here.
I say nothing.
And they're like, shit, I got to go play the game.
Yeah.
No, it's all good.
Are you bullish on Sui, Jonah?
100%.
Yeah.
I'm going to go mint those dino cards or whatever you call them today.
Popkins.
Oh, my God.
Popkins.
They're so cute.
They're so cute.
I can't.
Like, every time I look at my feed and I see a popcorn, I'm like, holy shit.
That's the Klanosaurus team, correct?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, look, you know, obviously some strategic partnerships have been recently happening.
I know Sui was, they had, what, the Sui base camp over there in Dubai at 2049, if I'm correct on that.
And a lot of positive feedback on the timeline regarding that you know and and the bullishness that a lot of people have
on suey right now i mean i think it's uh definitely you know attracting all the right people
jonah uh you know is our gaming expert but do i'm curious, I don't know, does Sui really
focus on gaming at all, or do they have games?
I've been told that Sui's actually kind of ideal for building games on.
I wouldn't know, well, what's really ideal would be like launching on the Nintendo Switch
2, or like PlayStation 5, or Steam, but like in terms of crypto, it's pretty close.
The Playtron device, the Sui deck, I did a video on it, actually.
It's pretty good from what I saw.
Oh, man, you have to check out Sui Play and the console that they've been working on and that they're launching.
When you start to look at the move language and you see how it works and you see the capability capability and the speed um it is it is ideal for gaming see that's nice yeah i mean it's it's a complex you know
obviously they're hitting all all the different sectors that you want to see um the meme coin
sector in particular really you know it had a run up in 2024 and then kind of you know as things
happen towards you know february and march just like across the board we and then kind of, you know, as things happen towards, you know, February and
March, just like across the board, we saw memes kind of, you know, die off as far as volume and
popularity. But, you know, over the past couple of months, we've seen a nice resurge and, you know,
the interest on meme coins. How do you guys feel about the meme coins on Sui right now?
Are you all pretty bullish on on uh the sector itself
i i i was just i was thinking jonah is gonna talk
i'm just i'm just here to farm it's all you oh that's okay farm away sir it's all good
um i'm doing the same with my own account.
Man, I think you're, again, like, I don't know if I'm the right or the wrong person to be talking about this because I'm just so bullish on memes in general. I just think it's such a beautiful way to get people into the ecosystem, whatever ecosystem that is.
ecosystem, whatever ecosystem that is, I think memes are such a relatable medium. I think they're
I think memes are such a relatable medium.
such a nice way to get people on boarded. That's not intimidating. That's not overwhelming. That's
something relatable, something that I want to be a part of, something that I share, something that
I see, something that's recognizable to me. And then when you start to look deeper and you see,
okay, behind this meme is this team.
And this meme doing well has given this team with this vision
the opportunity to build and to grow
and to bring their vision to life.
I'm so bullish on the whole circle of memes
and how it works in the space.
Yeah, and by the way, I would
just say everything you just said is evidenced by
the fact that the market clearly wants
meme coins this cycle.
Oh my goodness. Yeah, we can't get
NFTs to run at all.
And when you think
NFTs are coming right...
You don't need to fund my JPEGs just to fucking be
bullish on meme coins there, cheeser.
I know, I i know but it seems
like just ever since uh the trump play it's just meme coins have struggled uh to do anything and
you get the occasional runner from here and there but short of that it's uh you know it's it's a
matter of the communities themselves that are you know that are pushing you know, that are pushing, pushing everything. And if the memes,
if the memes are memeable, which hippo, you know, just the hippo character itself,
anytime you see a, I dude, I see little baby videos of hippos nonstop on Twitter.
And even when somebody goes on any, you know, deck screen or a deck tools and they just start typing in Hippo,
if Sui is one of the main ones that pop up,
I mean, it's, the meme itself is great.
So being able to have, you know,
such a relevant character to lead, you know,
to lead the brand.
Like as far as social engagement engagement do you guys have anything
other than x do you have an instagram like our gifts like what's your you know the virality on
on like your gift exposure and and all that stuff within the community because that's a big part of
the memes so um this is part of my job and kind of why i'm here we are building out we are expanding we are um
we're putting um community voices out there so as far as like cto team goes um
and so in our roadmap is to build out our instagram is to build out our tick tock is to
to build out just so that we get that this character in front of as many eyes as we can.
We are not active on other web-to-focused platforms yet
as far as Instagram and TikTok go.
Although we are in the very near future,
this is just a little bit of alpha.
We have a couple of our community testers,
Alpha Testing, a mini game that we will be launching.
And that's, I think the marketing campaign for that will be focused a lot on like web2 platforms so we do
have plans to build those out um as far as the meme goes man the the mudang meme itself is just
it's just so cute it's just something like, who doesn't love a cute little hippo?
We are the team that is in contact with the zoo
for the rights of that,
for the IP rights of that meme.
And yeah, but I think beyond just the meme,
we love that we now are stepping into
becoming a utility meme. And we have this
hippo character that we hope is relatable and that we hope brings so much value to the
brand itself. So more than just a meme, we want to be a well-known brand. We want people
to recognize the character. We want them to recognize the colors the themes um strategic partnerships that we
might have in the space um but yeah i don't know who's behind the splash account i don't know either
are you her personal account left the stage i don't know who this is
it's me i'm back just for a moment. I love it. Yeah, guys.
No, I'm sorry.
I'm just running through some tasks.
But anyways,
as Dijinzen has mentioned
that we are
just, that Hippo is a bit more
than just a meme.
And I just wanted to add a couple of
informations to share a bit
of what Hippo has actually achieved
because we believe in
giving back to the community
and it goes far
beyond SUI community. However,
obviously, we want to give
SUI community as much as we can,
hence the Fair Lounge platform
initiative. But
we believe that with what we are
doing, we can have a much bigger impact
and we can actually change people's lives. So as Mooden came up as a topic during this
conversation, we were the first ones to actually give a really big donation to the zoo. The number
is not on top of my head and I will not try to come up with any kind of number.
Just say 2 million, Miller.
Let's just say 2 million, all right?
Oh, shit.
In local currency, maybe, but honestly, I just don't want to do that, right?
Right.
But it was enough to definitely support, sustain the zoo, the princess and anything else.
But this is our kind of donation to what originated Hippo, right?
But we go far beyond that.
We have actually donated $100,000 to a charity in Niger.
donated $100,000 to a charity in Niger.
We have helped with this donation.
We have helped to create 50 dwells for 3,000 people in Niger.
And this is a very serious case because in there,
people are walking many hours just for the source of water.
And we just couldn't stay silent and we couldn't just pretend it's not happening.
So that was one thing we have done.
We have also provided 3,000 meals for those people.
We have directly supported 300 orphans.
And it was just part of this initiative so hippo as as it goes
way beyond just being a meme and just contributing to a meme ecosystem it also powers sui ecosystem
and it also gives back to the worldwide community of people who've never heard about sui or hippo
but we just want to make
this world a better place with the
resources that we have.
Yeah, that's amazing. Yeah, because
I'm looking on the website now, I'm sharing it on
stream, that you guys are
donating 30% of profits
to wildlife needs across the world.
And some of that
actually goes to, I'm not going to try
and pronounce the fucking name of the zoo because I'm going to butcher it. But, and some of that actually goes to, I'm not going to try and pronounce the fucking name of the zoo.
Cause I'm going to butcher it.
Um, but, and that's the, don't rob me of this joy.
All right.
Cow, cow, cow, cow, how do you say that?
Did I butcher that?
I think I got it right.
Cow Kiawa.
I did.
Sounds good to me.
You nailed it.
I'm sure.
I'm sure you just nailed that.
Yeah.
But that's the zoo that houses Mudang.
Kyle, you even asked the other week, I think it was last week, like, what the hell does
Mudang even look like now?
Is it still a, you know, a small little cute hippo?
And, you know, who the hell knows?
But my point about the memes itself is that I seen a Creeps holder the other day.
This guy just by himself has created hundreds of GIFs for Creeps.
And he shared his stats the other day.
And just that one person has 51 million views on giphy by himself and like to so my question is
are you guys going to do something in that in that kind of uh way to you know reward or empower
the community to start creating gifts and memes um that can start spreading the hippo message um you look at a lot of nfts like
i've seen chimpers they'd only been at it for like i think the last year and a half two years
but they have like 800 000 followers on instagram uh that fast their gifs and memes so like that's
a big way to spread the message of of hippoppo is just, it's not saying, Oh, come by Hippo. It's just putting that IP.
It's putting the image in front of them and then letting them discover what the
hell is going on with this little, you know, this little blue Hippo.
So I think that would be kind of cool to see that, you know,
go back to the community.
Do you guys have anything like that in in the works
um for the community like a like a gift contest or uh anything like that
i i'm waiting there we go there it is i was waiting for a reaction from mila to see if
to see if she was gonna respond to that.
she was gonna if she was gonna um respond to that i'll leave it to her for that
I'll leave it to her for that.
Yeah, and I was waiting for the same
since you're behind the post today.
But yeah, pretty much from time to time we are hosting.
So there's pretty much a bunch of initiatives
that we're hosting and it goes also beyond the art itself.
So our community, the ones who are active in Telegram,
they know about the feature that we have introduced.
It was also present at Sui Basecamp.
And it's a way they can earn additional Hippo
and they can just have fun.
So if you want to know more about this one because it has not
been announced yet you can head to our community chats to our telegram chat you can participate in
really cool contests we are having a weekly contest with this feature and it's really fun
i am participating myself and the same, it also gives back to community
because people can participate and earn additional hippo.
Besides that, we are also running meme contests from time to time.
And there is actually something coming very, very soon.
It has not been announced on Twitter as far as I know.
But I think our community might already know that.
So again, you have to stay up to date with Telegram chats and you need to.
But don't worry, there's plenty of people who can help you out if you need to, if you want to learn about those initiatives.
And third, there is also $1 million worth of HIPPO airdrop that is happening soon.
The phase one where we are allocating $150,000 worth of HIPPO is happening soon.
The date is yet to be announced.
However, everything is in the preparation already.
And that's happening through Splash, right?
Yeah, yeah.
It's happening through previously HipHop, now Splash.
And it's tied with the questing platform.
So anyone can participate.
And the tasks are very easy.
It's also to give uh hippo and splash exposure
but also to reward community for being active and for contributing to the growth of uh of hippo
ecosystem yeah yeah i'd seen that so this post came out on the 23rd uh round one of the one
million dollar hippo airdrop is live that's what we're talking about right there right uh complete
a few simple quests to qualify and uh then i guess there's daily tasks and things you need to do
uh within that is that correct
yeah and also uh with the feature that is not to be named yet uh It is named, but I think I cannot say.
But anyways, we also have daily quests.
We also have daily challenges.
And then we have a weekly quiz.
And we also have a really cool leaderboard
where you can also see others who are participating.
I really like this feature because it gives you the idea
of who actually
is behind those profiles. You can actually make some friends. You can see who's the most active
and who has best skills in the area of this amazing feature. Oh, shit. How do I get a referral code?
I need a referral code. That's it. Look, I think this is a great idea. I mean, because look, a big part of the success of a meme coin is virality and just like Mindshare.
Right.
So like if you empower, you know, Web3 DGENs to be able to, you know, incentivize them to talk about Hippo, to interact with Hippo.
It just, you know, the Mindshare on the timeline goes up and it's a win-win
for both the the project and the community so uh kudos to y'all for doing that i think that's a
really smart idea i know i'm locked out bro like i'm sitting right here complete simple task and
earn water points to join the airdrop um i'm gonna get a referral code and then when i get it i'm
gonna share the hell out of it. And then Kenny,
you can come in.
I'll give it,
I'll give you a referral code a day later.
That way I have a day headstart on you and you and Kyle.
I'm a gatekeeper.
And then,
I'm not going to do that.
I'm going to share it,
share,
share it with abundance.
It's just,
I'm going to be throwing out referral codes everywhere.
No, that's excited
i'm an airdrop fucking maxi so i like i like the task and being able to go do that uh especially
for good brands so um guys anyone in the room if you there's the very first pin tweet is the tweet
about the space it's the reminder for the space i'm gonna draw i, what did we say, three names? I think we said three people
that can win
some merch and some
other things from the
hippo team. How about one person named an idiot?
How about I win? Well, you got to go in
and you got to tag three friends.
It's not difficult. And there's only
like, the odds of winning right now
are very good because nobody
reads a tweet.
They just set a reminder and they show up and that's it.
So make sure you get,
all the rules followed there.
It's literally just retweet and tag three friends.
so I'll,
I'll do that.
I'll let it run till like 1 PM.
And then,
and then I'll do that,
that,
tweet later,
for those winners.
So make sure you go do that.
No, it's not on Abstract.
Somebody's asking me in the Abstract chat.
It's on X.
So just click my X profile from Abstract
and you'll see the tweet that I'm talking about.
But make sure you get that, you know,
make sure you get that done.
Yeah, I would definitely want to join this
airdrop uh as soon as possible so uh one question i did have with suey going over and because it was
announced what like a month ago kenny i may be wrong um it was announced that uh you can now buy
suey through your phantom wallet yeah um how big was that of a move for you guys with HIPAA?
Was that, I mean, obviously it's given more access to you guys from there.
I really wished like you could see something
and I may just not be in my phantom wallet enough,
but to be able to see the top trend in meme coins,
like straight in your wallet,
like that would be pretty dope.
But has that helped give more exposure to Hippo?
Man, I think anything that's good for the Sui ecosystem
is good for us because we're so embedded
and so deeply like interwoven in the ecosystem.
Anything that's beneficial, any more platforms
that gives users access to SUI tokens
is gonna be beneficial for us.
So yeah, I would say it was absolutely beneficial.
We integrated Phantom as our default wallet
on Splash as well.
So it's a beloved, beloved i guess brand at this
point within the web3 space like phantom themselves so absolutely huge win for the
ecosystem huge win for us huge win for splash um just just a really really good all-rounder
yeah and so many wallets are integrating sui anyways so like it's it's it's literally just
a few clicks away so like you can you can pretty much swap any token pretty much instantly right
into sui to grab hippo um so it's not you know it's not as difficult as people think uh i think
a lot of people and i think that needs to be more education is a lot of people, and I think that needs to be more education, is a lot of people that aren't familiar with Web3 or with the tech of Web3, they get intimidated when they see SUI or they see some other blockchain and they don't know how to go buy the token.
Yeah, bro, a lot of people have been here for three years at this point and they're afraid to go anywhere other than main nettings.
Exactly. exactly so it's it's hard so i think educating do you guys tend to try and do that and empower
the community to do that to like educate people on how easy it is to just within a few clicks
you can have hippo in your wallet is that something you guys look at doing
oh my god i just got it i just got a message and got so distracted in the last five seconds
i'm so sorry this happened to me the other day when i was doing another space and i'm sitting
at a friend's house and all of a sudden and it was so fitting that it's that it's hippo and that
we're drippy and that we're on suey chain which is the water chain right um his roof started leaking
like literally and i was like wow
i just zoned out for the last five seconds watching water come out of your roof um please please can
you repeat the question um oh kenny i thought you were saying something um no who
do what Kyle?
I said, you don't remember.
You already forgot the question.
No, I started getting, cause I started thinking about if, if splash had live streaming, this
guy could have literally started a token with a live stream of water splashing in his house.
So that's where my mind went immediately.
Um, but I did forget the question
I'm trying to remember what the fuck I did ask
Kyle do you remember the question
because I got a fucking
I'm lost on it now too
you don't even remember
Jesus Christ
we're all fucked up
alright so what is the
as of right now
what is the next activation coming up for Hippo?
Oh, my gosh.
I got cut off from the Hippo account.
Oh, my God.
I got rugged.
I got rugged by Twitter, by X, by the Wi-Fi in my building.
I don't know what it was, but I'm here.
What did I miss again?
All right. So the first, the first question was about educating the space about Hippo. Uh,
the second one, somebody was asking about how to buy Hippo. Uh, but that's easy. You can buy
Hippo straight through your phantom wallet. Um, just go in there, switch to the Phantom, uh, to the Sui network and you can buy Hippo,
um, straight from there.
Um, a hundred percent.
And we're also like, like we said, we're listed on Kraken now.
We are on Binance Alpha.
We are, there, there are so many ways for you to buy Hippo.
Yeah.
I mean, look, you know, like just looking, you know, obviously, you know, Hippo top three meme on Sui, you know, it's up there with Lo-Fi and Miu.
But, you know, the number that really stands out to me when I look at it is, you know, 24 hour volume.
Hippo has done 31 mil in the past 24 hours in volume, just to me is just insane compared to wild right yeah
it is so wild i think like we started off as like the cto but we seem to have graduated to something
bigger and become a token that's like been adopted by like trade it traders right um so we are a
favorite in terms of like a trading token so our volume is like one of the best on sui like amazing that
you spotted that no it it it is the best actually like it's not one of the best it is the best i
mean low low fee or low five not exactly sure how you say it uh three million in volume mui
two hundred and two thousand dollars um i mean you're just blowing the competition out of the water as far as, you know, volume up 16% over the past month.
You know, it seems to really be getting a lot of traction.
And, you know, you know, as far as being able to trade, you know, a lot of these meme coins that are listed on centralized exchanges.
I think that's a huge bonus because, you know, in my opinion, when meme coins get super hot again and you know
retail comes in like they're going to be buying you know meme coins on centralized exchanges
because they're not gonna you know necessarily want to set up uh you know self-custodial wallet
and go to a dex and buy yada yada you know so i think um you know y'all are positioned to kind of take that number one spot on Sui.
Would you agree with that?
Oh, 100%. And not just because I am HIPAA's CTO team.
Right.
But like, just because those are the numbers, right?
Those are the facts.
And like I said, we started off as a CDO, but we've been discussing it internally as well,
that we feel that we've graduated
into something bigger and we love that that that's it's one of the the most popular most used most
traded we um yeah we if you look at our chart we have managed to maintain a floor um a very healthy
floor throughout uh we were the the top like highest market cap for a very, very long time.
We got flipped by Lofi and I'll give them their flowers where it's due.
I do love that project.
I love the team where we're quite close with them as well.
But in terms of like being traded,
in terms of like a token that's popular, that's known about,
I think we are leading the charge on this.
For sure. And I, you know, up-and-coming chain where meme coins you know obviously
in comparison to you know certain chains like solana or ethereum base you know like
chains that have been around um and have a heavier meme coin kind of trading volume
i would imagine that you know the sui memes kind of rally around each other and support each other just because, you know, you're trying to push the entire meme coin sector on
Sui together. So it wouldn't necessarily be competition. It'd be more like, you know,
supporters of each other's projects. Am I right on that?
100%. 100%. Like our philosophy as Hi hippo cto as a whole our entire team
we we love to collaborate we love to support it's one of the biggest things that we focus on with
splash as well if you are a project that wants to come and launch on splash and you have a vision
we will offer support on multiple fronts we just believe like so strongly in rising tides, floating all boats, man. And again,
like HIPPO, sorry, SUI ecosystem is in its infancy. And this collaboration is so essential
for us to set in place the right tools, the right ways for people to enter the ecosystem
safely and in a healthy way.
Yeah, I agree 100%. I mean, look, you know, you're stronger in numbers, you know.
So, you know, I think that collaborative mindset of like,
hey, let's all push together.
We'll work out in the long run.
It'll be way more advantageous than trying to pvp against you know
one another um you know because that shit that shit never wins it never helps so um yeah i mean
when somebody takes the ground you give them the flowers and then you move on but then you just
push harder in the background uh to keep going so right and obviously like i said with the compromise
whatever the fuck you want to call it,
Hippo has not gone anywhere.
The community is still strong.
And people are going to just keep pushing within that community.
And a lot of big things coming.
You have Splash.
You have this airdrop that's happening, bro.
It's $150,000.
And I would imagine the tasks are very, very simple.
But it's just about, you know, as Lucanette says, proliferating the brand.
And, you know, talking about Hippo.
So, and everything that's happening.
I did pick the winners of the giveaway.
So, I went ahead and did that.
I'm going to post it out now.
Those winners, I'll make sure I get what DGN's in.
Give the Twitter accounts to her.
That way we can get those winners taken care of.
And it's Ace Hondo, Ben Lunt, and Crypto Marcy.
Those are the three winners there.
So three people we know.
So we'll reach out and I'll get all the information needed. I do know
all three of those, so it'll be pretty easy.
But yeah,
Dejan's in. Is there
anything else that we did not cover today?
Is there anything else you want to cover
before we shut it down and call it
a day?
Did she get another text message?
I don't know. did she get rugged out it's possible
I remember
I was trying to talk through the hippo
account again
the hippo account's not even on stage
not even on stage
yeah no we got rugged
on my laptop I'm still on stage through the hippo through the hippo
account uh congratulations is broken um we have a fantastic team that's worked on like all our drip
our merch is is so beautiful like we really put a lot of thought and effort like into like
the stuff that we have people wearing and and the image that we have for our brand.
Anything to add? Please follow us. Please follow the Hippo account. Please turn your notifications on.
One of the biggest things we're working on right now is putting the CTO team in the forefront and letting people know that there are real people. There is a dedicated team behind this project.
We want you to know that we're here and
we're with you for the long for the long term we're open to collaboration um we're open to to
to talking to the community anytime and yeah i just want to say thank you so much for the great
space because it's such a great vibe up here um usually i get nervous on spaces and i don't know
how to talk but like right now i just don't know how to shut the hell up.
Like you're going to have to kick me off the space.
No, it's all good.
Yeah, no, we wouldn't do that.
And we, uh, we, we can't ruin our girl to guy ratio.
We got going on right now.
I know.
Calm down.
Women, women have so much power in the space and they don't realize it though.
And I absolutely agree.
And a lot of them are afraid to get
on stages and talk and
you know
and just use their voice
for something I think good
and I think
hippos, you know, I think you're doing good
so don't worry about it. Who gives a fuck?
And if anybody ever says anything bad to you
just tell them to fuck off and leave the stage.
You know? Or just take over their stage.
That's what you do until they kick you off the stage.
But anyways, all right.
I think that's that.
Oh, Luke, you have some.
I highly doubt he has anything to say about.
You just want to tell us about your breakfast burrito or something there.
I'm guessing he has nothing to say about Suey.
GM, no, I'm interested in learning, but as we're wrapping up and I'm just coming into the tail end, we'll save it for later or something.
Yeah, we'll educate you tomorrow on Suey, Luke,
but we appreciate you coming on stage.
A lot of farming going on today, and I appreciate it.
Man, your space has been so fun
I feel like I'm going to tune into your reality check spaces
More often
You're always welcome on stage
