Good morning everyone. Welcome to our Shire Sash today with our friends at Wild Chain. My name is Julia and I'm here with Ash and we're the Firefly Shire. We're bringing regenerative travel and magical experience to the blockchain. Today we are actually brought
broadcasting to you from Florida. So hello Florida, it's beautiful here. And I guess I just wanted to start by letting you know we'll be chatting with Wild Chain a little bit and then at the end we'll take some questions if anyone else wants to come up to share about their project.
I would love to hear about it as well. So yeah, we can just get right to it. Wild Chain, good morning. Hello, good morning, five light shy. Thank you so much for inviting us to this space. It's great to be here. So I'm Emma representing Wild Chain and with me
is Bristol our Web 3 developer and yeah we are absolutely thrilled to be a part of this space and we love what you're doing in the Web 3 you know space as well so yeah great to meet you guys and Bristol maybe you can also introduce yourself to everybody
Hi everyone, my name is Bristan. I'm working as a web redeveloper at Wild Chain. I'm from India and yeah, like I have gone through your projects and it seems pretty interesting and yeah, want to know more about it.
Awesome. Thank you so much for joining us. We're diving into Reefly and have been seeing your project around for a while and we think it's really cool what you're doing. So we're definitely looking forward to learning more about what you're all up to. And yeah, so I guess if you want to go ahead and just maybe give us a little
intro about what what wild chain is and what what the plan is and what you're all are up to we'd love to hear more. Yeah thank you so much. So yeah basically wild chain is also in the web 3 book chain space and re-fi space as well and what we're doing is we're building climate action tools that basically
you adopt wildlife, plant trees and support real-world conservation efforts. And the idea is that you can do all of this just with a mobile phone. So you can do it from anywhere, from the comfort of your home and anyone has access to phone, you know, mobile phone these days, that's the beauty of it. And basically, before we talk about like
what the products actually are. The reason why we're doing it is because yeah, we've lost almost 70% of all the world's wildlife in the past 50 years and that is actually crazy and of course everyone knows how important biodiversity is and how much we need a thriving world. But when you
see numbers like that coming out from the living planet report, it's really shocking and yeah, it really made us want to make a difference, wants to make an impact and leverage Web3 basically to do that. But in a way that wasn't too scary or like too intimidating because Web3 is still a new concept. So the way that we do that is using our climate action tool. So Web
building three tools or products, if you will. So the first one is our mobile game, the second one is our NFT marketplace and the third one is our DAO, which is a decentralized autonomous organization. So I can introduce the mobile game a little bit. So basically in the game you begin in the
and you have to collect and hatch adorable animals that are also vulnerable in the real world. And then you raise them, you take care of them like Tamagotchi style, and then you will have some quests and challenges in the game to make it fun and interactive. But all the while you are making an impact in the real world.
real world because yeah, 100% of the profits do go towards grassroots conservation efforts and we'll talk a bit more about that later how we do that. So yeah, the idea is really to engage people with the mobile game, educate them on wildlife and species extinction and endangered this data
of, you know, endangered species right now. And yet also to build that community where we can all hopefully fight mass extinction together. So that's the idea with our mobile game and then maybe Bristan you can introduce like our marketplace and our down. And yeah, sure. So like under
the Unreal of Waijin, we are currently working on three different projects. As Mx explained, the first one is our mobile game and the second is our marketplace and the third is our DAO. So I will just give you the brief about how this all connected to each other.
in our marketplace you will be able to like adopt which technically mean buy an NFT which we named it as Adopt. So you can technically adopt a particular animal NFT and after adoption of that NFT
FD, a certain amount of percentage will be delivered to our wild fund which will be channeled to our wild fund and when the fund will reach to our wild fund then wild fund will play the role.
and how it will pray the role is that in Welfan we have a treasury where people will be able to vote to whom they want to allocate the fund like in side Welfan there will be multiple proposals from multiple consequences.
So people can decide, our public can decide, our users can decide to whom the funds should be channeled. So in this way we are implementing all these things and yeah, that is it for while for now. I want to make a quick summary of this.
Awesome, thank you so much. Can you tell us a little bit more about the app itself? Where can people find this app? So mobile game isn't actually publicly available right now, we're still in the process of building it, so it's only available to our backers.
like a private alpha version, but we really hope to launch a public version soon. We're not sure when yet, but stay tuned. We'll update obviously on Twitter and Discord and everything. But yeah, we're so excited for you guys to see it and play it and give us feedback and everything. So yeah.
That's awesome. I can't wait for it to come out. We will definitely be playing and saving some wild animals. So we'll ask a few questions. We wanted to know what regenerative finance means to you guys or individually and why it's important to you.
Yeah, for sure, a great question. So of course, yeah, like I mentioned, we are in that ReFi space and basically this means that we're using money in a different way. So it's we're using it to give back to our earth and regenerate our planet and things like that.
So maybe Bristink can talk a bit more about how watching is involved and refined and what does it mean for us in relation to conservation? Yeah, sure. So from the beginning, like we, we like to do that approach of using everything which can provide a reach
So, we decided to build our particular
project over cello and we started our first defy first re-fire approach from there and coming into the re-fire what I believe is that just like 20/20 was the boom of decentralized violence I believe that 20/20
2023 is the boom of regenerative finance. This is because at this moment when you see people around you, they are being more environmental conscious. They are starting being more conscious on what they are creating, what they are
So along with this blockchain technology, we decided to move forward into the ReFi segment.
Yeah, and thank you, Bristol, and just to follow on from that, like I mentioned, because we're donating all of the profits towards these grassroots conservation initiatives. We really want to focus on rewilding the world and what we mean by that is creating employment for wildlife rangers and supporting local communities.
Also protecting natural habitats of wildlife species and of course the protection of endangered species in particular as well. So all of these things are how we are involved in the Rewfai space and how we hope to leverage Rewfai and Web3 to contribute to re-wilding the world really.
I love that. We have the same kind of ethos with Firefly Shire and I think that really drew us to your project and what you guys are doing. You want to talk a little bit more about rewilding and like why we needed and
like how you kind of came to think about rewilding the world? Yeah, of course. So like I mentioned earlier, biodiversity is of course so important for our planet and just for everyone in order for us all to survive because we're all interconnected, we need to make sure that our
ecosystems are balanced and of course thriving and the way to do that is to ensure that we have a world of worlds and with such a big decline in species at the moment, our world is clearly there's something wrong with it and that's really a cool to action that we need to start rewilding the world.
world again. And what we mean by that is if we can't save the species that have already gone extinct, then what we can do is make sure that no more do follow their footsteps really and we protect them and preserve our wild spaces and really focus on the edge
and engaging people to understand that really this is a serious matter but like I mentioned with our mobile game which is our Play to Impact tool it's the best way to really tap into that and get young people especially to make a difference and to make an impact and
That's how we really aim to rewild the world and that's why we have that as kind of our you know our catchphrase because yeah, it's really important to us and Really where we're working towards gamifying conservation so that anyone can can make a difference Just with just with a phone
That's great. We love that. We love getting the next generation involved. Do you have any other ideas about how we can kind of get people excited about saving the environment? You guys are doing a game. What other things have you thought about?
Yeah, like you mentioned our mobile game is like our primary kind of project, but of course, yeah, we are releasing NFT. So we've just released eight NFTs and the options have closed for them. So thank you, everyone who participated in the bidding and everything. And we were so excited to have that and our NFT marketplace life as well.
as Bruston mentioned, it is carbon negative built on cello, which we're also really proud of. So yeah, NFTs are also another great way to engage people and our NFTs are quite unique because they've got some awesome utilities. Maybe Bruston, you can share a bit about what NFTs utilities are and things like that.
So our NFTs come with multiple utilities. The first utility which I want to mention is that as we mentioned that every NFT that you will be adopting will be raising a fund in our wild fund like a sudden
percentage of amount will be delivered to the wallet fund. So, in this way by adopting our NFT you will be able to like contribute to the impact on the real world and the other utilities are as follows.
like our NFTs are dynamic NFTs like our NFTs since like for an example if you try to like if you adopt a particular NFT on its initial stage like for example if you adopt a
baby elephant and with time you will be able to see that that particular animal is growing, his particular metadata are changing. So we have decided to came up with this unique utility
which is called dynamic NFTs. So we made our NFTs as dynamic and the last and not the least like every NFT which you will be adopting from our marketplace will also be acted as a real world.
will also be acted as a digital tuning in the real world and one more utility which is being like mentioned is that our NFTs are also an in-game asset like
If you adopt our NFT at this moment and when the game launches you will be able to use that particular NFT over our mobile game. So yeah, this was few of the utilities which our recent NFT collection came up with.
Yeah, thank you so much, Bristol. We were so excited when our NFTs go live went live and the response was great and it's great to see people actually wanting to not only support us but support the fight against mass extinction as well. So we really love that like our NFTs are not just in
a piece of artwork which can be also a great NFT utility but also that it has real world functions and can directly is a digital twin of a real animal that's out there in the world right now in the wild. So thank you so much, Bristan. Yeah, so we're really excited about the
because we'll also have more coming out soon so stay tuned. And yeah just following up another way that we thought could engage people to want to make a difference is through our dial that we mentioned just before which we call "Wild Fund" and if you don't know what a dial is it's a bit
Basically a platform that gives the users lots of utility and voting rights and decision making rights. So that's what we're also aiming towards with our DAO and the idea is that we'll have conservation projects on the DAO and that people, our users or players can then vote where the funds are going to be.
to. So, um, is the father fun supporting, you know, cheese a charity A or elephant charity B. So we really want to make it as interactive as possible and for our players to really be involved in that decision making process because that's a big flaw we've noticed with, you know, traditional fundraising and traditional
and all charities that people don't know where the money is going. So by having this down really gives power back to the people and makes them feel included in that important decision as well. And to see like where the money is going of course and we'll be able to provide people with impact reports as well. So it's all super exciting.
I love that. That's great. It's a perfect union of environmentalism and getting people into NFTs and governance and yeah, that's great.
Yeah, thank you so much.
Yeah, you know, we wanted to see if anyone had any questions in the audience feel free to request a comment and chat and pin up anything you want if you want to pin where people can find your NFTs or find more about your roadmap or you or
Yeah, the project. Yeah. Thank you so much and yeah, I'd actually quite like to know more about your project Firefly show. I don't know how like yeah how you guys are involved also in that refi and be welding space too.
Yeah, we can definitely talk about our project. So we're doing an eco retreat center in Costa Rica and we're implementing a lot of regenerative practices on our property and we're also investing in local projects that are helping the environment.
environment in some way or another. We think we've chosen our first one. They're trying to get recycling in the town that we have our apartment. It's crazy that they don't have a recycling program and the people really want it. So there's a group
is working on making that happen. But yeah, also on the property we're going to be composting, we're going to be having a regenerative food forest where we're trying to kind of replicate a natural forest, but putting in a few things that we want, edible things, and using
natural fertilizers and well the compost but also using green energy. So we want to build a hydro power generator. We have two water features on the property so we're hoping we can get some hydro power going and we definitely want to do solar
We want to do things in the realm of education for Web 3 and environmental problems that we're facing. The next generation is really important because they're going to be the ones that are basically going to be dealing with
with kind of the culmination of what's been happening the last 50, 100 years. But yeah, Lily, you want to add something? Sure. Yeah, so we, I have some updates. I can give some updates of things that we've been up to.
We mentioned we're in Florida right now, so we're doing a visa run slash visiting friends and family and getting supplies. Yeah, Ash has been picking up tools to take back. Yeah, and we're heading back at the beginning and next month, so but since our last
Twitter space. We had Earth Day and planted some fruit trees and some ornamental trees which is pretty cool. And we did fix the road up our property which is awesome. It's going to allow us to bring more building supplies and things like that to move things a little faster. It's also nicer for guests.
well, we can get them up easier if they don't want to hike though I do love hiking up that hill. I mean if you take a leisurely hike you stop at all the viewpoints or whatever and yeah we just got back from Mexico City where we went to our first
like, Re-Fi meet up and that was super dope. Met some really, really cool people, really inspired people and met our content media strategist in person for the first time, so that was cool. Yeah, oh, I see Jimmy coming up.
to chat. How's it going Jimmy? GM. Oh great. I love seeing spaces like this happen. Much love. We get some virtual flowers first and foremost. Five flush out. I love hearing about what you're doing over there and I loved it especially we could hear the birds in the background. That's amazing. Love it. And wow.
Wow, while Chain, I did not know that you're also doing a marketplace as well as a game as well as the NFT. Wow, you guys are really building great to hear about it. I know it's not always easy for a depth to come up and speak on Spaces, but you nailed it, man. Thanks for coming up and sharing some of the more needy-grady
I love to learn a little bit more about what it is you guys are doing specifically in terms of dynamic NFTs. So I love the concept of dynamic NFTs. So what data influences the NFTs to change? Is it dynamic in that sense or I love to learn a bit more about that.
Okay so what we actually did is that in order to change a particular metadata of a minted NFT we have to always one is by making it changeable with time and other one is whenever someone
custom logic heats up, it should change. So what we did is that we have created the time-based, we have choose the time-based system and with time we have pre-created all the times like
We didn't this period of time this particular NFT should grow this much amount so we have like divided every stages like how it will look when the NFT is in its baby stage how it will look on
it's teenagers there's how it will look like how it will look when it gets older. So we have like divided it and we have put timestamps over there and so after meeting it now things will totally like depend upon the time.
I hope I am able to explain it. Yeah, okay, so it's time-based and then how does it visually change? Well, change, did you want to touch on that piece?
So yeah, following on from what Bristen says that the idea is because our NFTs like the animals you can then play within the game. So as I mentioned in the game, you raise your your animal from baby to team to adult.
take it through the stages, you look after it and you care for it, and then as it grows up in the game, your NFT will change too. So if your, for example, Cheetah, was obviously a cute little cub and then you raise it
a team, your NFT will also change visibly as well into the team version of the cheetah, if that makes sense. So you can see it grow as you're playing with it in the game, kind of thing.
Sorry my reception's cutting out a little bit here, but yeah, okay amazing so so it's time-based but also in terms of gameplay So if like if you're doing well in the game, it's gonna level up to you Yeah, exactly so yeah when you level up in the game it means that your animal is growing and you're obviously taking care of it and then your NFT will will change as well
Yeah, you got it Jimmy Love that so cool so so cool So when's the game out? Is it out or when that's a loaded question? Just kidding no our game is currently only in its private alpha test
So we're working on it a lot. We're really focusing on building it and getting it out hopefully this year in another beta kind of testing version. But yeah, we'll keep you guys updated and really want you guys to see it and play with it and everything and use your NFTs that you
you've just minted in the game as well. So, yeah, stay tuned. It's coming. We're building away. And yeah, we will also be releasing our dow as Bristan said, hopefully soon too, because I think Bristan, you guys are still in the building stage with the dow, right?
Yes, we are on our building stage like we are implementing things on the development side and we will test it out after that we can launch it.
Amazing. Yeah, I was having a discussion before of like what makes something a true Dow because sometimes dows can start out decentralized but then end up getting centralized like people can I don't know exploit getting a lot of the governance tokens for example or stuff like that and then some viewers saying
in the comments like, oh, it should be like a democracy, but then democracies are like one vote for a person. So how are you planning to structure the Dow to try to keep it decentralized and what are some of the like, is it like the NFT is a vote or you have a governance token or multiple governance token?
in order to participate in our DAO, in order to participate in the voting mechanism, a particular user should hold a particular while token. And coming into your question that if like there are multiple scams and
things are happening things are being centralized when it comes to down now it is right so here the catch is that we are doing everything on chain like a dare dow who claim to be as decentralized autonomous organization
But at the later on with time you will see that those particular those particular projects are holding votes over its centralized body. So what we are doing is that we are from
starting from the basics, we are implementing everything in the decentralized way in order to give more security in order to provide more transparency to all our wildholders.
loves it loves it. All right, I'm a swap back to listener now, but thank you for sharing these great insights. Keep up the great work, Wildtain, Fireflashire, much love. Thank you Jimmy for asking your questions and for always being supportive of Wildtrain as well.
Thanks for popping by, Jimmy. Thanks for coming by.
Yeah, if anyone else has any questions feel free to come up and yeah, I think if anyone else was oh I wanted to mention because one of the ways we've met we've met and seen each other is also from the monthly Earth Day which is actually today highly artistic from
crypto oil is hosted every month and so yeah we're still thinking about what we're doing today for for our state thing. We might do a little beach cleanup. Yeah so others request. Yes James. Oh yes carbon-captain Colt James. Hey James how's it going?
Yeah, I'm also hoping to get some stuff done on it today today. I wanted to say thanks for getting all that stuff done out there in the real world. I was wondering if you figured out what kind of mushrooms you guys were planning to grow out there.
Yeah, so we have a few that we're thinking we'll do first, but we do have some other building to do before we get to the mushrooms unfortunately. But first we want to do oyster mushrooms.
Lines main, those would be our first two because they're delicious and Lines main is medicinal. But yeah, there's a few that we would do after that.
Well, those are definitely good ones that get started with oyster mushrooms are supposed to be some of the easiest to grow Yeah, I think they are and there's so many different varieties. There's blue oyster pink oyster white oyster brown oyster, I think
I don't know, but they're all delicious. What mushrooms are you growing? I can't remember. I have white oysters, blue oysters, gold oysters, Italian oysters. I also have wine caps. Nice. All the oysters and some wine.
But once you get the mushroom started, I'd suggest even getting a jump on if you can. And when you're planting your other stuff, you can just mix the mycelium and the mushroom spawn right in with the potting mix. That way, it'll grow underneath the stuff you're planting.
That's awesome. I want to try that ASAP.
James, did you want to tell us a little bit about carbon counting club and Evergreen Coin if you want? Sure. If you guys want to collect crypto currency for doing environmental works, you can go to EvergreenCoin.org and share photos and personal stories.
And then at the end of the month, they pass out a crypto pool to everybody who participated. If you participate, it's appreciated. The ultimate goal is to change how we measure value. But you can use the crypto to cash out to, you know, your local currencies get things
you need. So if you're going to afford to save it, it helps the macro economy, you know, but if you need it, take what you need. That's what I'm saying for. But everybody participating is a helpful. I sell NFTs to help fund trees.
with Jimmy with 4 trees club. They plant trees for less than 10 cents a piece. My NFTs half the money goes to 4 trees club. The other half the money goes to supporting community activities. That's what the
We're also kind of like a gardening club where we'll help you figure out how much geologically stable carbon you're putting in the earth in your gardens. So you can start squestering carbon at home, counting and tracking it. Generally once you start counting and tracking it, you'll start improving it.
is the channel idea.
I love that. I love what you're doing and yeah everything. We need to figure out how to count our own carbon situation. Yeah. We need to do that when we start gardening. I mean, we've already planted things I guess, but yeah, we're gonna have to do that.
Yeah, we try to make it as simple as count the buckets because I've done it with like refugees and people who don't have access to like labs or expensive equipment. We basically get to that point. So if you know what's in the bucket, we can count it and figure out how much carbons in it by us.
estimate. And we did it that way because it's just easier to count it. It's easier to reward small scale efforts. Life cycles of carbon is hard to track, but we can at least track and reward proper end, you know, the end of the cycle for carbon.
That's awesome. Yeah, yeah, it's little by little right. We can all make an impact. A mile change did you have anything else you wanted to share with us? Or if you, we pinned one of your posts up, but if you have other posts you'd like to see pinned, go for it. I
I think now when people replay the recording, I think they can see the pen post. And James, yeah and James for sure pin anything you like. Awesome, thank you guys. Yeah, I think me pretty much covered everything that we're working on right now.
feel free if anybody asks us any more questions they want to ask, I'm Bristol and I or anything you want to know about while chained and feel free, feel free to. And yeah, just stay tuned basically a lot more exciting things are coming and yeah
We're really excited to see what's going to happen next and we're really happy to see the amount of people participating in the monthly earth day and also just how many RuiFi projects are out there all doing good and making an impact together. So we love to see that.
Yeah, 100% we were in Mexico City and it was the first meet-up of ReFi Mexico and we thought I don't know there's gonna be like five people there or something They had to keep bringing tables over when we showed up the guy the restaurant owner came
and he was like, "Oh, are you with them? Or are you coming just to eat?" And we're like, "We're with them." And he's like, "Oh!" He kind of was like another table. We've got to fit more people. Like so many people are interested in this. And I think we underestimate that.
or maybe the interest is growing because we kind of need to care. It's getting to a point every year where we need to care more and it's just great to connect with people who care and we love the community we've found here the ReFi space.
for sure we couldn't agree more and just love to connect with you guys and see what everyone's building and what you're doing in the web through space definitely. I'm interested to know how like you guys began your project and you know where did you get your idea from and what were the motivations like behind it.
Okay, so it just kind of snowballed. We were in Mexico in 2021. We were January, February and Lilia's friend sent her a listing for some
property in like Arizona. We're like you can get property each for like 10, 15, 20 grand. And we thought, oh, we could totally put like a converted van on that and then rent it, do some stuff with it. Maybe sometimes stay there.
there. Yeah. And I had just watched the Lord of the Rings movies and the Hobbit movies with my sister and brother-in-law during lockdown in Denver. And I grew up building things, my dad. That was like his biggest hobby was building
But I was kind of like we could maybe build a habit hole for the same cost as a van. So we had the whole plan of having a habit hole or sheltered a nurse sheltered home sorry not trying to get.
in trouble, but thinking like, oh, we could build it for about the same amount of money if we do it ourselves. And I served on YouTube and there's a chick, Christy, Kristen, Kristy Wolf, right? They say her name right? She built one in Washington and she kind of shows
he did it and it just looks magical and fun. And around this time, Liliya's brother told us, "NFTs are the way." He's in college and he kind of came across NFTs and he was just like, "Became really interested in the
them. And so for a while, Liliah kept being like, oh, that could be an NFT project. That could be an NFT project. And then before you know it, we're like, well, we want to do something in real life and build something. Why not kind of combine the two things?
So we were living in Thailand and the place we were living had fireflies all over. So when we were spitballing ideas, Lily, I was like, "Firefly, firefly something." We were asking AI for name ideas at the time. Jasper, but now it's Jarvis. Now it's Jarvis.
Jasper. Anyway, so the name was born and the idea kind of snowballed from the original idea. Wow, so cool. I love that story. I mean, it sounds like a definitely a collaborative effort that and I like all the inspiration
inspiration for the name and everything. That sounds so awesome. And yeah, how you guys got into web 3 because I always find that really interesting like hearing how people heard about it and how they got into it. And it's obviously specifically the ReFice phase 2. I mean, maybe Bristan, you can share about how did you get into, you know, web 3 and blockchain.
Yeah, sure. So how I got into web 3 and blockchain was like there was lockdown in my area and during the lockdown time I was like just sitting at my home and I was just listening to podcasts. Then
I was looking for ideas and I was looking for something which I can take as forward in my career. So at that time when I got to know about blogging
from the particular broadcast I felt very much fascinated from it. So by starting that like from that time I started researching and doing my own research and I learned true multiple playlist over YouTube and in that way I
started my journey in WebTree. So yeah. Wow, I love that. It's so cool how it brings people together and I just love the like the community aspect of WebTree and obviously specifically in the ReFi community too. Like everybody is really supportive and close knit and everything and yeah I think that's great.
Yeah, definitely. Yeah, I remember just like doing research and you know, I guess now there's a lot more information out there, which is great, but it's such a Everything's in technology changes so fast. I feel like we have to keep learning Because things things are always programming
which is really cool. We did our research and ended up on Cardano, no gas fees and there's staking pools that run off of renewable energy and there's a similar concept on a project on Cardano actually, it's called Cardano.
trees and you also like adopt but it's a tree so you get to see the tree grow over time which is really cool. So when I heard you have the animals I think that's such a great idea and such a cool visual for people to be able to see them from when they're little to when they get older. So
That's super cool. Is there's just so many interesting applications for NFTs and how we can use it for good, right? Because one of the things at the beginning too, I was like, oh man, like look at all these funds coming from nonprofits and working on environmental causes and how little funds there are really.
for this stuff and like seeing how much actually just gets thrown away on like meme coins and stuff I was like ah I mean we could do a little good a little bit at least you know here and there using this technology too yeah 100% I mean so for example a wall chain was was founded because yeah
they basically saw the rise in NFTs and crypto, you know, there was a big boom and then we thought, okay, so how can we make this like the success of the NFTs, you know, like board APOC, for example, or whatever, like we make that but actually do good, make an impact for it and that's
when we were like, well, boom, we can just make NFTs and donate the money to conservation to help regenerate and support these small organizations in Africa, for example, in the African savannah that don't have access to funding, just like a big corporation
and yeah that's really the motivation behind it and just the success of NFTs was you know crazy a few years ago and the possibilities for it were just like beyond just having an NFT profile picture it was you know to actually do something good and yeah make make an impact
Yeah, absolutely. We're plugging away at it. And you know, when we first kind of started looking into this and got into Web 3 in 2021, we didn't really know that ReFi was a thing and then when we found that there was a term for it and we're like, "This is awesome."
found our people. So yeah, it's great. I'm excited. If this is how it is in the bear, I'm excited for what's to come for everyone. I think we can do some good. And we can track it on chain, which is awesome. Jimmy was asking questions about that stuff too.
being able to see where funds are going and just transparency and all that. Yeah, I think we're on the verge of some good stuff. Yeah, definitely. I think just like you mentioned that transparency and accessibility is something that Web 3 has to offer and that really, what you know,
that you can't replace it in a Web 2 situation and that's why we love the concept of the Dow and giving people those rights and the utilities to make a real impact and feel like they have control over their climate action because, yeah, of course, you can anyone can donate to a conservation charity
But one, you don't know where the money is going. And if you can really trust that charity and then two, you don't really feel like you have control over your climate action or your impact and by having a doubt or by, you know, directly being involved in those decision making processes, you really feel like you're a part of it and, you know, we can bring together
together a community that really want to make a difference. And yeah, we all come together that's only when change really happens. And that's what we really want to spread the word about and get people involved in. And it's great to see you guys also doing something similar. And of course, so many other amazing re-fi projects out there.
That's awesome. Yeah, you know, I wanted to ask actually where where you're the app but if there's a business and where it's based out of. So the team actually will work remotely. So as Brisson said, he's based in an industry.
So we have some of the dev team and in India and then some other people in Thailand and scattered all over and I'm in the UK and someone else is in Europe as well. So yeah, we like that. We're all kind of international.
and we do meet but just on occasions. So for example, Brisson, you went to Thailand recently for your hackathon and you got to meet everyone there, which was awesome. How did you find that experience?
Yeah, it was pretty much new for me because I made our like co-founders. I made my like rest of my team over there and it was fun like we had parties and all. So yeah, it was great. Love that.
Yeah, that's super fun and we were also recently at a like an acceleration program in Madera and it was cool because I got to meet yeah some more of the team there and everything like that. So our yeah our wild team is registered as a nonprofit organization
and it's registered in Singapore because one of the directors is based in Singapore so that's how we registered the company there. And yeah like I said because we're a non-profit we do donate all of the profits to our DAO which then goes to conservation projects.
That's great. Is Singapore crypto friendly, you would say? I don't know about Singapore in particular, but it's definitely becoming a lot more popular in Asia. Is that right, Bristol? Would you say in India as well? Like, crypto is definitely on the rise, and people are more like, you know, enjoying about it.
And the best thing when it comes to building something in crypto world in Asia is that people mostly get registered company over there because
Singapore provide more x-relaxiation. That's why we approach that and we move to Singapore for the illustration.
Yeah, that's great. That's one of the reasons we're in Costa Rica as well. Just regulation, quit the friendly, we can pay staff up to a certain point in crypto, for example.
And yeah, so that's definitely important right now as well. Figure it out. There's still some uncertainty in different countries and things like that. So yeah, yeah, that's great. That's great to hear.
Does anyone else have any questions? Feel free to come up. Or if anyone else has anything else to share, would happy happy to hear about it.
Cool, we can also end the space. It's been such a great, great space. I would love learning more about the end of Tees in the game and you know how we're coming together. We're finding each other on the internet and trying to make an impact for the planet. And today is
are monthly Earth Day so if you can do something for the planet that's nice today go ahead and do it even if it's a little thing. Let's end on one more question if anyone if everyone who is up and wants to participate answer what your ideal world looks like. Let's get some positive imagery
ideas out there and yeah and Donna really good note. Okay I'll go first. My like ideal future would have people be able to have kind of control of their lives financially and you know have freedom to do with
want to be where they want. Crypto would be great if it works out and the governments allow it to happen and not make their own version that's going to be terrible. People are conscious of the environment and
We're healing the earth and maybe people kind of migrate back out into the wild. We're really congregated in cities where it feels like we don't need to be anymore. If we're connected to the internet now we have so many more options. So maybe there should be a migration out of cities. So that would be my ideal.
People are in nature if they want to be I guess they could be in cities if they want to be - Yeah, what about you Lillia? Do you want to answer? My ideal world Yeah, I think I imagine a future kind of like Star Trek where we're like not worrying about
dumb stuff like borders and money and everyone has what they need and the planet is doing great and we're venturing out into space exploring new worlds. I'm just saying you know that that would be cool. It's like a solar punk future. I'm down with that.
love those answers guys and yeah totally agree with you there I think all of those together would make definitely an ideal world or planet that loved that. I think for us obviously at Wild Chain R we are envisioning a world full of wildlife so of course that would be an ideal planet for us.
and for everyone to really get in touch with their wild side as well. Like you said, people are really neglect that and we spend so much time inside and not outside in nature and yeah I think that would be that would be great and also to have more of a community-led sort of society and
well because you know everybody is just you know focusing on things like you said like work, money and you know not really making an effort to connect with people from around the world now that we have this technology that enables us to I think that would be pretty awesome as well. Yeah that would be cool thanks guys.
Thank you for that that's great that James would you like to share a little bit of your vision for the perfect future? Well I don't think anything will ever be perfect but it's still a very big question for a dreamer. I think first
This thing we need to address is power and water availability. Once there are things that are readily available, which I think we can do is a species we have technology. We have to do food and housing.
Step two is growing agroforestry, building hemp-cree castles for people who live in giant earth-made structures and stuff like that that are built to last thousands of years instead of I hope they buy another one in 20 years.
That's more permanent buildings but like generationally permanent. Looking at some of the buildings in India, 4,000 plus years old still standing, people have been living in them the whole time. Maybe we use some of that.
And then I guess after that we need to conquer like resource recollection and you know, our recreation activities. And if they can somehow coincide, that's even better.
But I guess my perfect future has abundant energy and water, food and housing. People's needs are met at least at the very base levels. And then on top of that, we still have probably wealthy people and the class stuff. I don't know how to get rid of it. My world's not perfect.
I don't have no plan to get there, but I feel like that's also where you have the resource reclamation and recreations that's paying for it in various ways like that. But I imagine mega towers built on sea mounds with artificial coral reefs that spread out, you know, hundreds of years ago.
yards in each direction where we just collect and build the amount of materials that we've previously wasted. That's amazing. I love the very specific points. That's great. That's great to put in the visioning too. Thank you so much for that. Yes. Thank you.
Yeah, so what I believe is that like as far my vision to be an ideal future, I believe that people should be more like environmental conscious like before
for doing any action, there's a thing of it that it would create to the environment. And what I also believe is that people should be more like
have like people should know the full potentials of all the future technologies so that they can use it to the betterment of their survival and yeah this is it.
I love that. That's great. Thank you. And thank you for everyone who shared your ideal worlds. We're ending on a positive note, but I think we're going to close out. Thank you everyone who came. We appreciate you spending your time with us talking about reflexes.
and how we can change what we're doing in the world to maybe better it. Yeah, thank you Wild Chain, thank you, Carbon, Counting Club for coming up and talking in Bristan of Wild Chain. And Jimmy, thanks for coming up and chatting to and having some really
really great questions and thank you everyone in the audience for coming and listening and spending your time with us. We appreciate it. Thank you so much guys for having us. It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of this space and to really get to get to know you guys more. And of course, yeah, thank you to everyone here
asked them some questions. We really appreciate it and yeah we're excited to see like what's next for you guys at Firefly Shire and what's going to happen next for for wild chain as well. So thank you so much everybody. It was a pleasure to meet you and yeah just stay tuned for some exciting things to come really from both of our projects.
Thank you guys, it was a nice session.
Okay, thank you everyone. Goodbye. Bye guys. Have a great day. Bye.
