Music Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Mic check, mic check.
Hello guys, sorry for like the crash before
uh i think we need to mute from the remember us account All right. Perfect. Perfect. So yeah, once again, G Monad guys, like, sorry for the crash
before, but yeah, like today, me and remember me will bring this topic up. It's about Monad.
Maybe remember me want to say something as our founder and also my co-host today, actually. It's special day.
Yo, yo, guys, how's it going, man?
I'm really happy to be here in this Monad space because we will have amazing speakers
right now. And yeah, I mean, it's the Monad, guys.
And yeah, we have Mr. Silver hosting here and amazing speakers with KB from Kuru, Zara, Tequila from Jokstar and Finn.
Oh my God, that's really awesome.
And yeah, we'd love to introduction about you guys here because like, oh, maybe a little bit about Remember Us.
Like, I really thank you for you guys for attending as a speaker in here and sharing with us what's like about what is Mona.
And yeah, for Remember Us, like it's community really close and tight. attending as a speaker in here and sharing with us what's like about what is Monad.
And yeah, for you members, like it's community really close and tight.
And we've been like three years and we are mostly focused on NFTs,
gaming and like trading stuff.
And yeah, let's get some introduction.
Let's go come on i come on i heard you guys say g monad
which is not wrong but i i do come on out here thank you for inviting me um yeah um so i am finn
or this is finn i am a pack community manager at monad and I take care of all the local communities in APAC region.
Yeah. Is that okay for introduction?
Finn, for the introduction.
Maybe we can continue to Zera.
You're the most young person here so we go
for KB first can you introduce a little bit about yourself KB hey guys uh yeah my name is KB and um
I am the community lead at Crew Exchange um I've been in the Monad community um I think for like
over a year now I've been in crypto since 2020. And I'm just a
DGEN that likes to yap a lot. And thank you for having me. Awesome. Awesome. Thank you very much.
And now representing from Builder in Monad right now, it's like maybe going gonna be one of the first NFE collection will be launched in Monad.
The one of the founder and also I think the artist of Chokstars right?
Tegila maybe you can introduce yourself.
Hi, I'm Tegila. I've been part of the Monad community for over a year
and I'm also one of the founders of an attitude project on monad
called little chalk star um thank you for having me awesome awesome but last but not least zera
as a i think the most active community in monad especially in indones whenever i i go to monad
server i see her every single day. So yeah, introduce yourself, Zera.
Hello, good Monad everyone.
I'm a community member in Monad.
Yeah, just a community member.
We want to listen to the feedback also from the community
and also from builders and also the uh, the, uh, community
managers as well is here and we have all the components for, uh, for today.
And it's really, really good day for me.
And also remember me to be part of the, uh, remember us hosting this space tonight.
So maybe remember me, you want to start with the questions maybe, or should I do it?
Maybe this is a funny question.
And the question is, what is about Morad?
Because Morad is really cute.
And probably I will let this question
I'm just going to go through the script.
I think you guys know already what Monad is,
but yeah, like Toon says every week now,
high-performance 100% EVM compatible layer one blockchain we're aiming to deliver 10,000
transactions per second and above hopefully and near zero gas fee So right now we are going through public testnet and it has been live for about almost two months now.
I heard that we hit 1 billion transactions, which is crazy.
And we've been having so much fun.
So yeah, I mean, that's what I usually know about if people ask me like, what is Monad? Monad is really, really fast change, right? Like it's almost zero gas fee and it's, how do you say, like innovative, like it's really useful for people, especially who's always using blockchain for the transaction.
It's really good chain for builders and also people who wants to do transactions.
So maybe I think before we go to the serious questions, I also one of the member of Monad server, like I'm seeing all these roles,
I'm curious, I'm just curious because I don't know,
I never have a chance to ask this in the server.
Maybe one of you can explain to me what is that?
Is it like a mascot or something?
Maybe KB can explain this or maybe maybe kb can explain this or maybe
finn you can explain this to me oh i think right maybe we take turns um explaining mon animals sure
mon animals the three houses yeah exactly what is that, we only have three houses. We don't count moonshine.
Like the sorting hat is gone, right?
You can explain it, I guess.
So now they're like sought after,
So I think in the beginning,
the community tried to find something to play with, like, you know, something fun, something like Zoom-y, fast, trying to come up of, you know, fast, innovative, young and stuff like that in a mascot.
And was thinking about like maybe cheetah or like, you know, a monkey.
And then we got like this purple hedgehog instead.
But, you know, we go with whatever community decided.
So, yeah, that's like the first the first the first mon animal, let's say, was Molandak.
It was created by an Indonaut. They just dropped this file of Purple Hedgehog
in one of the channels on Discord
and said nothing, just like with the fire name Molandak.
So we're just like, okay, Molandak it is.
And then after a while, we got so many other Mon animals.
So we got Shock. Shock is the creation of Ray J.
At that time he was just like playing around with an AI tool, a drawing tool, and he tried to draw a Molan duck, a hedgehog, but it came out to be Shock. Yeah, there's no more story to Shock.
I think Shock was like an underdog for a long time,
but then now like everywhere you go, you just see shock.
And yeah, Moyaki was created by Havel, Havel Martinez,
which is like a Mon in the Monarch community.
So it's like half cat, half fish.
We don't know what it is exactly, but it's
kind of like resembles this Japanese fish shaped pancake. I'm not sure if you saw, you've
seen it before. It's like Japanese dessert. Yeah, I think that's it. You can correct me if i'm wrong oh yeah you want to correct him maybe take the only the only
one i know is the land because landak is in indonesia it means hedgehogs you know because
i'm indonesian so i know what that's related that yeah so yeah maybe uh remember me you have any thoughts like oh yeah maybe like i would love to like
hear if you guys got like a special or maybe your favorite mascot guys maybe start from finn and the
other yeah sure i i like moyaki i've been moyaki fan and loyalist since the beginning. So, yeah. Sorry, Shock. Sorry, Shockstar.
I love you guys, but my spirit animal is Moyaki.
So that's Finn's choices.
Yeah, it's always going to be Milandok for me.
I was brought into the community through the house of Milandok on the Telegram chat, so I kind of like just owe everything, you know, within the Monad community to Milandoc, so that's
my baby for sure. And I also in a sort of hat, sorting hat, got picked for the house Milandoc,
so just definitely meant to be my PFP when it's a cartoon, not a human. I always have Milan Doc on my head.
And yeah, that's, you know, Milan Doc for life.
I really love Milan as well.
But yeah, I would love to hear about the other, like, tequila.
You guys already know I'm building Chalkstar, so I love Chalk.
That makes a lot of sense, right?
I would be concerned if you weren't a Chalk Maxie.
Otherwise, the project is going to be more Yes Star or something.
Imagine Tequila's like Moosh.
I love Moosh. is gonna be more yes star or something or more like imagine to kayla's like mush i love mush
all right let's talk let's talk about zera what which one do you like there which one is your
favorite well i'm a chalk girl because like um if you see all my posts it's like i always put chalk in every post so yeah chalk it is let's go we got one more person let's go
and yeah maybe we can next on the next question here and maybe like a more serious part like i
would love to know guys what you guys building at maybe we can start from what is kuru by kb
Maybe we can start from what is Kuru by KB?
Yeah, so Kuru is a DEX exchange where you're going to be able to find and trade all your coins and also a launchpad and everything built on Monad.
So it's a Monad native DEX.
That's probably the easiest way to kind of explain like what Kru is. And also,
of course, using the club, which is a central limit order book. And this is going to essentially
have the best prices at the best times. So the quickest ways to, you know know buy and sell your coins if you miss a coin by like 10 seconds
you're you can miss a 2 forex so we know how quick things can be here so um speed is everything in my
opinion bro that's really right because like personally i do trade meme coin as well and i'll
do a part of before i was in photon as well so i know the speed is everything on meme
coin yeah even though like one second you will hit you will miss like 10x bro yeah even like and
and so even when you're putting in like limit orders right like i've had limit orders you know
on photon not fill because of how quick um things can happen so So when you're actually using the order books with the club,
you're going to be getting those actually at the precise time
that you're ordering them.
Or maybe, like, Mr. Silver, do you have, like, any other questions here?
Yeah, I actually have questions to Tequila, like what is Chokstar about?
And I don't think I have to ask like why is the reason you need you built this on Monad
because you're community members and also like you've been there for a long time.
So like you've been there for a long time.
You've been a really, really solid.
You've been a really, really solid.
I see Indonesia is really fun community.
And yeah, maybe like more details about like, is it only going to be PFP or maybe something be in the future as well for ChokeStars?
So ChokeStars is an NFT project.
We don't have any utility yet, but if we want to do,
to make something, we will just deliver it.
I don't know if that makes sense.
We don't have any roadmap.
So it's just a PFP, yeah.
It's going to be like a representation as a Monad community using a Monad, one of
the first Monad collection is going to be launched maybe, right?
I hope it's going to be launched really soon after the Monad, you know, if they're launching
their mainnet already, it's day one.
Not to forget to mention, like, tonight we're going to have some giveaways, actually, right?
I think it's, like, three superstar lists, if I'm not mistaken.
And also three dripsters NFT whitelist so if you guys if you guys uh our listeners have any questions you want to go up uh to ask one of these uh amazing uh guests go for it and we will reward you for it or
maybe you drop the questions in the comment section as well you can you can do that uh in the reply on
the remember us uh tweet and also, we might also ask Zera
for about the community sites.
Like, what is your experience in Monad?
Like, how long you've been there?
And also, maybe like some happy moments
or maybe sad moments in Monad that you can share with us?
You both can ask us if you're both a part of the community, right?
I've seen both of you for so long.
So maybe we can start with Zara and then we go for Tequila as well.
OK, so I'm a part of a community and i've been
um contributing in monad for like eight months now so um i really like uh dnft projects on monad
so especially um the projects that are already gaining traction on the Testnet marketplace, right?
Such as like Chalkstar, Dripstar, Monadverse, Grumpy, Spiky, and many others.
So every community member is really supportive.
And for me, the Monad community is one of the best i've ever been part of
so um yeah for me once again it's not just about networking or making friends but
um the community also has have like um values and strong shared vision so
what really stands out to me is how the community constantly adds more value
through meaningful events and educational content.
And I want to highlight one thing from the Gamanad community,
So it's both fun and informative so maybe uh that's the most like
meaningful thing for me on monad yeah wow that's amazing actually uh one one one time i think i go
to monad server and i just joined some random PC and I listened to a Japanese person actually teaching Japanese language to other people who's not speaking Japanese.
And yeah, it feels so amazing.
Like the community are really, really, you know, it's not like you cannot make this up.
You know, it's a real person.
It's like a real community.
I really, really sad that I didn't grind all the way out
I just come once at a time.
But yeah, it was a really, really great experience
you're having there, Zera.
Maybe Tequila also wants to share a little bit since you also,
before you become a founder of the project in Monad,
you're also community members, right?
And maybe you can share a little bit about it.
I'm still a community member, actually.
So my experience as a contributor on Monad was super fun.
The community and the team really appreciate what
I did. And that support helps me grow into a founder right now. They were always there
to help and support me. Honestly, I don't think I get this kind of experience anywhere else.
The only experience that you get is in Monad.
This is like all about we are in Web3, right?
You want to gather with really supportive people
and help you make you grow as well as a personality
or maybe as a team like maybe your team member also uh from monad as well like you meet them
uh in the community and you become a team who knows right all right i think uh tequila maybe
you want to add more um uh meaningful moment yeah meaningful moment yeah yeah it's when I attend real life event I met
Finn Zera and all my friends from this court yeah that's one of my uh meaningful moments i wish i can meet kb too but maybe next time
definitely one day yeah i'm sure they're gonna send me off to asia
okay okay like i know as well that we're not always doing this offline event as well but we can ask
about that later maybe when we remember we have more questions for uh the builder site or like the
uh anything oh yeah i just want to highlight about like the what's the nfts that i'm looking on
because like um you guys got supported by magic it right? And I think that's one of the really good,
like really amazing things that Monad is achieved, achievement.
And there's like another change that I'm going
is haven't supported for the testnet yet.
And I think the Monad is the first one
that got supported by Magic Eden
and it's really quite fun.
And I believe that like there's uh the proof the
the the ascentrators and like as degenerators it proved like you guys got a volume on it and you
guys got a community that's supporting how the chain is going and yeah maybe like for not like
the question is uh for the billers like maybe do you guys have any thoughts about what's the strong point
about Mona maybe we can try to ask with Finn at the first. I'm working in community like my whole life is about community now so I would say the community yeah I mean if I have to list all the strong points.
I would say like, you know,
obviously the really fast EVM, EVM compatible,
really decentralized and performance. We have like 72 globally distributed validators
during testnet and the numbers,
And also like um weird so the team is trying to
make the blockchain very easy to be built on um and also like you know mona testnet already like
ship with day one support from like most of the top infra um providers you, a infra bridge indexer, a lot of a lot of things in the space. And then,
yeah, we also have like the community power, which is like, you know, I tweeted a few days ago that
like, during like hard time in crypto, only the community will, you know, be like the sole support of your, of your project. So
I think a lot of, there are like a lot of good projects out there, like a lot of layer ones,
layer twos, you know, they are all like having like, really providing really, really strong,
let's say, they have really ambitious goal. And I think like the technology, you know,
can be, can be, can deliver like some similar result.
But what's stand apart in the Monarch,
in Monarch is like the community power.
Like there's no other communities that have been like, you know, very, very involved
since for the like, even before testnet, like we had meetups everywhere around the world, we had
people bonding, building friendship, community members, becoming, you know, project CEO of their own projects and stuff like that.
I mean, we are turning community members into builders
and it's just like nothing I've ever seen before in the crypto space.
So, yeah, that was really long.
But I think that was like everything that I had in mind.
Yeah. long but i think that was like everything that that i had in mind yeah
a really lovely yeah i i do believe like comedy monad is quite strong and like everyone really
love monad and really engaging even though in the social media you guys are really strong and like
you can see about the numbers gain about engagement and stuff and the projects that pop up and yeah i mean like let's let's move on to kb because like i would love to hear about
um how you how you think about the defy sectors and like uh what's your perspective about a monad
strong point um the what was the last question the last part the monad what yeah i mean like maybe like in the
same question like what's the strong point of the mona mona but maybe you can tell us about
perspective about defy sectors yeah i mean i i think that with the right the throughput of mona
like the 10 000000 translation per second,
and in a decentralized world,
we're going to be able to do things that not many chains can do
and things that are possible.
And so for DeFi, I think that's just going to change everything.
And while we're not kind of there yet with the apps, right,
and what we can build, I mean, I think like the sky's the limit for DeFi.
and low fees, even for like swaps. I do believe that the masses will come over for volume,
for things being seamless. I think that's what Monad's all about, like less friction,
very seamless. And, you know, it's crazy. Like people in traditional finance, right,
in TradFi, they would essentially laugh at the fees that we're paying
in order to trade our assets.
So with Monad and with the tech that some of these apps
are building in DeFi, we're going to be able
to kind of demolish that part
and hopefully attract more of the traditional finance in crypto.
That's just my opinion though.
And hopefully kind of like what the future looks like.
I also like a newbie in a DeFi and I try to do like BIM coins on Solana and sometimes
it's just like because people are paying with like, I don't know what you call it.
Is it bribe or something like to make it really fast and it costs a lot.
it will be like uh improvement in monads right right like even like with um even solana being
cheaper than ethereum once you're moving with size you're still paying a lot of money like you're and and then like kind of uh pump bump bumping up those gas fees
when there are a lot of things going on right solana is only like what three thousand transaction
per second like when you're when you're you know when trump coin was at its peak right um during
that move you couldn't get orders in and you had you had to bump those prices and then
when you're talking about like you know i'm not i don't i don't do this because like i'm not a whale
or not a market maker but like when you're trying to market make these coins at like 100 million
and you're you're essentially um creating these charts and quote-unquote painting these charts
that's the part where i'm talking about
in traditional finance where like people wouldn't pay these fees you know um and when you're moving
with size like that they're paying like tens of thousands of dollars um per day for for for the
for this market making so that's going to be one of the highlighted um and most attracted
attracting things for defi and for for markets within monad um because that's something that
we're going to be able to eliminate uh with fees so it's going to be a significant amount of with
and that's with the order books and not the AMMs. So that's the
biggest difference. And there is there is, you know, clobbs on other chains right now that are
being built out. Right. But but yeah, that's I think that's where we're moving in DeFi for
for crypto in general. So probably within the next 10 years, there won't be any AMMs and it's
going to be, and hopefully no sexes and it's all, all DEXs, you know, on chain with order books.
Well, it's going to be really, really attractive improvement for djens like remember me one one of uh
the most dj person i ever met in my life right because like i jump when he jump and when he
like go up i'm still down there like unfortunately like he's waking up all day man like all day all
night when i sleep at night it's going down the price going down and i
couldn't even sell it anymore but yeah it's quite some experience i have in in you know
meme coins and yeah i think we can move on again to uh community sites right i know there is a lot
of roles in monads right i don't know like uh what's the, how do you say like, how is the benefit of
the roles? Maybe we can ask people who has a lot of roles in Monad because I did my research guys.
I actually go to Monad by checking who has the most role in Monad. Maybe we can start asking Jaquilla, like, is there a... why the roles in Monad is
important and why is it so hard to get? Okay, why is having a pro... a role in Monad important?
Maybe it's like a reward for community members who contribute and help Monad grow to where it is now.
But most of the people who want the role are usually just farmers or bots,
meaning they're not really serious about being part of the community,
They're just after the rewards and then leave right after.
I think that's probably why it's kind of hard to get the role in Monad.
The team is really careful about picking people who are actually worth it.
It's usually the people who aren't even chasing the role,
but are active and bring a good vibes who end up getting it faster, I think.
So, yeah, I mean, it might be late, but're one of the most, how do you say, like active members, because I see sometimes in Monad, there's a lot of events, not only Indonesian people who's like is the most members in Monad right now.
And it's a good thing because I'm Asian as well.
I'm really proud of Asian people.
They're really supporting Monad.
All the events, not only online events, also offline events.
And yeah, I see people actually attending even though it's overseas.
They go to Bangkok. They go to uh malaysia as well and yeah i'm really happy that community is growing and
zira maybe you can also uh share like how long maybe you take uh times to get roles in monads and
how like the experience and why do you think like these roles are really matter
okay so um i get the local nuts role it's like last year it's probably like one or two months
months and so speaking about roles roles in monad are actually pretty important for me especially
in the beginning when the community was still growing so roles help recognize people who are
active and bring value to the ecosystem just like what Takila said and yeah many people are
also excited about roles because they're connected to minute allocation right so from what I see
roles show how much someone has contributed to the community but are they hard to get it really
depends on the person so if you enjoy being part of the community and you contribute because you want to not because
like you have to so it actually doesn't feel that hard just be active in a way that feels fun and
natural so yeah um i remember also like someone once said like no contribution, especially in Monat, will go unnoticed.
So that stuck with me and made me believe that as long as you bring real value to the Monat community,
people will notice it and appreciate it.
So at the end of the day, it's not just about chasing a role.
It's about doing something meaningful.
If your contribution matters, the role will come as a result to your contribution.
Yeah, maybe it's like that.
Awesome, awesome. I mean, it's all about the communities, right?
You can see who's deserve the role based on, let's say, this is my experience as a moderator.
How I give a role to people.
Usually I just check their activity, first of all,
and then I see their mutual friends
because real active people and real people
who wants to engage always adding each other
It's really like it's really like
it's all about the process not about the results right like i i've been there also like trying to
get a role or white list maybe in nfts and i didn't get it but i got some friends i got some
people that really nice to me and then they also become a real friends like not only meeting in the project
and say hi and that's it you know but yeah it's i hope it's uh it's part of the journey right and
you guys are already rewarded and i'm happy for you both and also maybe let's hear from the
community manager side it's the same question like why is the role is important maybe these guys are you
know only getting the roles but you are the one maybe who give them the roles you know
oh um you mean me yeah of course okay okay um so i i don't i don't want to say the word rewards
um some people might see them as rewards,
but I see it more like a name tag,
kind of like if you come in the community,
you place a certain role inside a community so well,
then you have that role in the community.
And that's just like a name tag for you.
I'm good at art. People who see tag for you okay I'm an artist I'm good at
art people who see my name tag but I'm an artist they can come to me and they can get knowledge
from me and maybe they can become an artist too or I'm a mon video person I'm good at making videos
or like I'm a not I make I'm good at making friends I'm good at being recognizable and
bringing the good vibes into the community.
You know, all of these, like, it's not supposed to be hard. It's supposed to be who you are.
So I'm not saying that Monarch community is for every single person on earth, but everyone has a place in the Monarch community. You will gain something if you come in and you, you know,
you bring value, you also get value back. And that's just how communities work.
Just like, I don't know, a lot of people just like chasing roles,
asking for roles and stuff like that.
Most of the time it just makes it even harder.
You focus too much on the things that you think is a reward,
but you kind of skip that whole experience of making friends,
open doors for opportunities, getting connections, you know, building something.
And all of these are also like a reward in itself while you're spending time in the community.
So, yeah, as Sarah said, I always tell people this as well, that if you are good at something you do that you do that well you keep being consistent so we can separate you from all the farmers who might just fake passion for like
three months and then leave um then you will you will be able to get the role um because that that's
the role that you play in the community and um just be natural about it. Like if you do something and you enjoy it,
you can do it for a long time.
And the roles will come to you naturally.
I mean, some people might feel like it's pretty hard now
because there are a lot of people now.
When I got in, there were like 100,000.
And now we've got um I'm not
sure what was the the current number now but like a lot more a lot a lot more than that and um yeah
we need to like make sure that people who come in um are the real community members and they deserve
the roles that they have in the community.
Yeah, I'm not sure if I'm going in a circle here, but yeah, just wanted to like
fix this, you know, a perception of roles a little bit so that it's like less of like a work. If it becomes work for you, then it's not the right way to say. Exactly, exactly. We all like,
the right way to say exactly exactly we all like uh you know all the projects who building a
community is you know it's all about the journey and then as you said to make a friendship maybe
open doors for you like the connections that you made especially in this bear market right
and then one day who knows like this guy may be a founder of this, and this guy may be a
collab manager of this, and then it helps you to get more easy access in the future,
Because, you know, in the end of the day, who's the people who survived the bear market
is the one who's going strong for the rest of the day, right? So yeah, maybe we can ask KB as well,
like what's your perspective,
opinion, your opinion from your perspective on this,
about roles and incentives to the community
that supported like, you know, making a project in Monad.
Is there anything that you can say about it, KB?
I think I've been talking too much and forgetting about we also have a giveaway, guys, once again, if you just join.
Don't forget we have some Chokstar whitelist to be giving out
and also Dripsters, I think i think right remember me i i don't
know how we're gonna choose it i think it's uh if you want to ask you can come up uh request for uh
to speak and then you can ask personally to our amazing guesses tonight so remember me you have
any more questions because i've been talking for so much though
oh yeah yeah i just want to say that yeah i really agree with you guys about a comedy building and i really love like what finn said about because like uh who knows you started as like comedies
and you learned something about artists artistry and like maybe like dog lovers things and then
you would be able to grow your portfolio or maybe like maybe you grow your knowledge by you learning from your friends because I believe that connection
is really important in this space and then yeah you can start it like you can start from
one and then you connecting with the developers and then you try to learn oh this is how to
build the startups oh this is how to learn about partnership. Oh, this is I think that's like how I really love like what's how to monitor
the start and try to grow and like giving the space to its personal individual
to grow to make the projects like that you are doing.
And then maybe like we can start.
Yeah, we can start because again, like with a question about builder sites,
apps or maybe application in the ecosystem is really important.
And yeah, I mean, like the Monad, the question is, what's make Monad attractive for the developers
if compared with another Ethereum or layer 2 that they're
Because I got a couple of the information.
There's also a chain that promoting as well, like, oh, this is with a lot of TPS and maybe
Maybe we could start from Finn.
I'm so sorry. I got distracted. Could you repeat that again, please? Oh, Oh, I'm sorry.
Could you repeat that again, please?
And then the question is like, what makes Monad attractive for developers compared with
another Ethereum or other layer ones?
Because there's, I believe that from my information, there's also a couple of another layer one that building with the promotion similar like Monad, like highest TPS and something like that.
Yeah, I think that was like already included in the points that I mentioned before.
But because I'm like, I know very well about the Monad community.
So I would say like a lot of people might have like,
you know, great projects.
There are a lot of great projects out there, I have to admit.
But I think like in the end, you need real users. You need people who are passionate about your projects
to want to try your apps, your, you know, your products, right? So when you have like a
built-in community, built-in members who are really excited to try your products, like what we have
here in the Monad community, then it's also like, you know, you know already like that will be
this group, this huge group of people wanting to try your product.
I'm not sure if this is something that other projects have in this scale,
but I would say this is something that stands out and brings in more builders.
Because a lot of times I go to events and they see how strong the community is and they're like, oh, okay, I think we're going to consider building on Monat.
And it's always so refreshing, so nice to hear that.
Because they need to see, to really believe that, hey, there will be people wanting to use the products.
But I really wanted to, like, let it know about
you guys also doing a contest, right?
Like about, like, a grant to building something
in a monotheca system, something like that.
And, yeah, I would love to hear more,
like, how you guys provide with the developers
and how you guys to try to picking up
more builders to build on it.
I think we have like a lot of,
I don't want to use the word incentives,
but let's say like motivation for builders.
For example, like we have Hackathon,
We also had like three Monad Madnesses already, one in New York, one in Bangkok, and the latest one just this week in Hong Kong.
And yeah, I mean, Monad provides like all the support. We also had like, you know, some classes,
some campaign that, you know,
with one-on-one mentorship
to early stage builders and stuff like that.
Or like NFT, I think Tequila can say
something about this too.
Also that campaign from Karma,
who is taking care of NFT sector in Monad.
So we always have like, you know,
Are we still like building,
creating more of these to come out?
we provide like a lot of support to builders and making sure that
Maybe, like, Tequila, do you have any response in that one?
From my perspective, I see Monad as a home because the community is very strong and caring,
which I've never been part of a community
like this before and i also believe monad is a new opportunity for builders who want to create
something on on chain i personally i'm so happy to build my own project on the right chain and to have the support of the team and
i love monad because they support builders um they even have several teams ready to help us
to develop a project for example like um finn mentioned before, we have Karma, which focuses on NFT project.
We have Toons for Monad Eco.
He's the founder, community lead.
He will help us to build the best support ecosystem for Web3 founders.
And yeah, I learned a lot from them
yeah that's it wow amazing i really love to yeah yeah oh my god so excited yeah maybe for the next
one is kb what do you guys what do you think yeah i mean speaking from experience with career
exchange um the i think when you're building on Monad and the way the foundation is just kind of giving support, you know, it's almost like a curation.
So I was doing one of the Monad telegrams, kind of, I guess, because of the internship within the Monad community.
within like the Monad community and when Kuru before they went live um I was essentially placed
in Kuru as a community manager because of the work that I had done previously for the Monad
Telegram group and so you know I think uh since then um we do have like a ton of support you know from tunes and um and yeah like and and there i think every um
protocol as well right it's very i don't want to say easy but you notice that like a lot of
these protocols building natively on monad are also getting funding. And then they also offer like Monad
Madness a couple of times a year for protocols, the opportunity to pitch and get funding.
And with this as well, it's been able to give people within the community jobs. And so I think that when you're, you know,
people, people, there's people that talk a lot, right? And they're like, you guys aren't like a
community, you're not even a chain yet. And you'll hear that like a lot through the ethos, or we're
just airdrop hunting, right? Like, if I wanted to leave, I couldn't even leave at this point because I have a job within Monad, right? So they make it very sticky. And I do think that has a lot to say for the ecosystem.
Because the people who have jobs here are the ones who have been here for a year, two years.
And so while there's a lot of fatigue just in the crypto space in general,
Monad has been able to essentially let some of these, you know, these top community members.
And I mean, like, I don't even have a top role.
Like, it's really not about like these
roles you want to go back into these roles right so like I'm not a mon I'm not like any of that
but like I've been able to like have a job within the ecosystem where I get a salary and I get fed and I can pay my bills through crypto through yapping through all of that so
that is not only you know it's not only the monad funding and monad is like
helping you know it's not even that you're attracting these builders right it's just
kind of about like creating um an ecosystem for like every protocol and that that's going to
attract developers because there's essentially an army of nads you know ready to work and like
ready to do the front of house things so like it's not even about getting funding and getting support but it's about going into a community where
you're going to find people that can work because it's it's kind of difficult to find really good
people in the crypto space in general um so i think that's why uh a lot of developers are
a lot of developers are attracted to Monad.
And also the fact that like, you know, it EVM, like, you know,
a theory, a theory, smart tracks, smart contracts are, I think the standard.
I'm not a developer, so I have no fucking idea, but I'm, you know, from what I hear,
it's like the standard and where people are building.
You can take something like sappySeals. I've been in
the SappySeal community since like 2022 and I'm very close with Wob. So I know what he's been
doing for years and he's been building a game based off of Ethereum smart contracts for three
years. And if it weren't for Monad,ad right if it weren't for like this tech which
he could he could have taken this tech to like other chains maybe abstract maybe
say or like whatever because like you know these are also like evm chains but he chose monad for
a lot of different reasons um and it it's because of the 100 compatibility the seamlessness the
frictionlessness of what monad um can offer while you know accepting all these different wallets
like phantom um backpack and and metamask so for him it made sense where he had been building
something already for three years and he had no idea
that it was going to be on monad but monad is like yeah you've been building this like
you can do it here better faster cheaper like for a web3 game so i think we'll see that um i think
web3 gaming um isn't talked about a lot because it's just really not a thing. It's kind of it's not a thing. Like people,
they try but it hasn't been successful really. So I think that we'll see once mainnet goes live
and you know once we go through whatever we need to go through, I think that we'll see a time for
Web3 Gaming and some big ones come out of the Monad ecosystem but yeah that was a big rant there
and yeah I would love to hear like um do you have like any thoughts
what's the best way to start building on one because you guys got a lot of resources in terms
of human or maybe like uh our peoples that want to build developers yeah maybe we can start from Finn. Like, what do you think about this part?
Find the pain point, find the problem, and fix it.
And that would be, like, something that everyone wants to use, right?
To fix everyday life problems.
I can't come up with the idea right now what you should build but i think it's just like you
just go for it yeah just just build it yeah oh lovely do you guys have any like a program that
you start want to starting learning about something start from zero or or something like that
um you mean for building yep i'm not? I'm not a very technical person,
but if you go on the testnet side of Monarch,
that will be this one part, say building.
You go in there and you get all of the information you need
So I think that would be like all in one kind of point
where you can go to, yep.
All right, that's awesome.
Yeah, guys, if you guys wanna build,
check it out about a website and try to look it out
what's going on there and like try to learn how to build.
And yeah, like how about the others?
Like maybe Tequila, do you have any thoughts about this?
The best way to build is just go for it.
Like, do what you want to do.
Like, if you are an artist and you want to start an NFT project,
just draw some samples and post them.
If you get a lot of support and positive feedback then go ahead and build it
if you don't have a team find someone you trust in the community to team up with or you can just
um reach out to maybe karma tunes or parent i'm sure they will help you if your project is genuinely good and brings something positive to Monad and the community.
At least that's what I do when I start building Jockstar.
Okay, maybe Zara, do you want to let us know about your thoughts?
Okay, so I agree with Finn and Tequila.
So in my opinion, as a community member,
it's like if you want to build something on Monad, just do it.
Like me as a community member, I would love to take a part of it.
So just do and build it, guys.
Okay, we have a new tech line.
We got the new tech line.
You kind of cut off in the middle.
What did you say remember me
oh we got a new tech line here just do it just do it yep just do it let's do it
yeah how about you kb do you have like any thoughts
just do it um just do it um yeah just do it, I guess. I don't know.
Build, be conscious, you know, don't grift.
And, you know, if you have a good product, like, the people will come.
If you have a shit product, they won't come.
And that doesn't mean that, you know, people are, like, against or anything. Like, uh, and yeah, just do it right.
Yeah, Mr. Silver, do you have any questions
like for the next topics?
I think before we move on to the next topic,
I think we have some people want to ask, they
want to get up to the stage, but I think I really agree with the hashtag just to it.
It's not only Gmonet guys now, it's just to it as well, right?
So yeah, maybe we can bring people here.
I think Mr. Shom my uh requesting to speak i don't know if he has any
questions or maybe you just want to share his thoughts about monad since i think he's like the
uh people maybe call him the godfather of uh indonats that's wow the godfather what's up what's up hello everyone do you want
verification i'm not godfather i'm i'm still young you know i'm like 20 years
all right all right and then no no no that's a cat that's a cap no way you're younger than me bro like no
freaking way come on yes if you want to say something or you want to ask to someone uh
to our amazing guest tonight no nothing i hear all the stories and all the
i mean i love the way they present their self.
I mean, they're telling us about how Monarch community
is right now, how we build our community from scratch.
It's an amazing journey for me.
I'm only, I think I just got started for around one year or so,
Yeah, but it's been a wild ride for me.
Been to a couple of real-life events, posted a few.
I never find, I never seen and experienced something before like this in Web3.
That's such a big word from mrs show my guys like i know these guys for like maybe three to four years maybe like he's like one of the guy who's really giving us alpha back in the days
like about nft especially is shielding everything and imagine like he's been in this space for three almost four years maybe or
maybe five even more like i don't know him yet but he's saying like the monad is the best experience
that he had it means like it is the best like community uh you can experience with but yeah
once again if you are builders also like uh if you are want to build something try monad guys like monad
the community is really helpful they are really solid and yeah you might get help from the
community members as well so if you haven't joined monad please go join now i don't know
if it's the full access thing is still a thing in there that you need to get the role for accessing the whole
server but maybe you can ask finn to approve you so yeah maybe we can go for more people that
requesting speak sahara dave maybe and we can we can go by one by one. Bro, bro. I think Finn want to talk something about it.
Don't ask me to give you roles.
Not the role, like the access role.
Because I think the first time I tried to join Mona, I don't have access.
I only have like a few channels that open.
And then I have to request to, I i sent dm to mike mikey or
mike i forgot uh the correct name but yeah he gave me a free uh full access to mona so i can see
like every channels basically so yeah maybe we can start i don't think Sahara is here, but Dave is here. Dave, do you have anything to ask to our amazing guests tonight?
Yeah, Dave, I've been in like the Monad community for a while now.
And I really love what Monad is building um the opportunity it brings and um
yeah the project's killing up even with the uh business face right now and um personally i
um i'm hoping like um there'll be like more adoption um in africa because i'm from africa
so i'm hoping for more adoption for monad well yeah um basically yeah
my question um just goes to um the quilla yeah um jock stars because i actually came to this
space because of her i saw her post notifications and i really love what she's doing i love what
danny is doing um in jock stars and yeah i really love what um the team is doing there but i just
want to know like okay yeah i know the know the project is more of community center,
so I just wanted to know what's the plan
for the community in the long term?
Yeah, I know she said there's no roadmap,
but yeah, I just wanted to know what's the plan
for the community in the long term?
Yeah. So that's my question for Tequila here.
All right, Tequila, you might want to answer that question from Dave.
Yeah, sure. First, thank you for your question.
question um uh for now maybe after min we will just keep growing a chalk star our community and
keep introducing introducing new people to monad culture right um and probably there might be
And probably there might be a just like Monad, maybe there might be a real life community meetup in the future, maybe.
And yeah, probably more collaboration with great project.
Since ChokeStar is just an art project and we don't want to fake promise about our future.
So like I said before, if we want to create something
or make it something for ChokeStar community,
Okay, hope this answer your question.
David. Yeah, yeah, it does. It does answer my question. I really appreciate the work you're doing.
It's not easy being a founder, working on a project and part of the one of the best blockchain
I appreciate your answer and I look forward to your greater heights for chokstar and the
mollard community um yeah i would also like love to like i've always been um giving my support to
chokstar i won't need that at um celebrating the chokstar success uh collaboration so yeah
star success collaboration so yeah um yeah thank you so much thank you dave for asking like i do
believe in sakila's uh in the future she doesn't want to over promise she wants to over deliver
like in the future who knows like like usually uh one of the first projects uh in a new chain becomes the og
collections you know and people are will you know collaborating with uh maybe it's something that
you need to consider in the future to be part of the chockstar communities right uh so, is there any question from people or we go for the next stage maybe?
I just want to say called called custom way, bro.
We don't care about like the like promise promise just like deliver and keep working, man.
We love Jokestar and everything.
Just like I buy it, you know.
And yeah, I mean like for one last question maybe from Sahara you there Sahara oh he
haven't raised yet oh sorry my bad okay oh maybe we can pick a question from the comment section. Oh, sure.
Yo, this is Finn's Crypto Baby.
What's something cool about Monad that's
Give us the underrated alpha. Oh, okay.
That's actually nice questions. Maybe we can start with Finn. Is there any
under the radar alpha that maybe you can share with us here?
Oh my God. It's so hard. I'm an open book so there's no under the radar of uh um i don't know i just say um it's still early so
um we're still testing because they're on testnet so um don't let anyone tell you that it's too late. If you come in, you stand out, you're being yourself.
KB, is there any underrated alpha that you can share with the Alamo here?
Career exchange. I don't think any of you guys are in the chat um and it's very underrated in there wait just wait in like two months time every
one of you are gonna be like to exchange give me a roll so yeah i think uh career exchange
is probably the underrated alpha that because oh of the NFT projects, you weirdos.
I think Sahara is here now.
Maybe you want to ask your questions or maybe share us your thoughts about Monad?
I think I only have two questions. G Monad What is your best advice for someone who is juggling between web 2 jobs and web 3 jobs and can barely be active in the Discord to able to get the full access role?
What do you think that they can contribute? Because they were juggling 2 jobs, they will be busy in both things, what's your best advice for that?
um so full access is a let's say newbie room is a room that's that like the first the first um
let's say front frontier that separate farmers or like um you know bots from the main server you
know if they come in they are going to ruin the whole vibe
and just like, you know, spam and stuff.
And also like a place to, you know,
give new people time to learn about the culture
So if you can show a sign that you are human,
then you should be able to get in.
You should be able to get full access because we just want to gate, you know,
all the bots away. We have, you know, bots is a huge problem.
So just be human, just be human.
Like if you come in and say, come on out every day,
then it doesn't sound so human to me you know um a bot can do
that so if if you if you are being authentic be yourself um it will be a lot easier to stand out
and uh would be easier to be noticed and um get full access yeah this is like for
the benefit of everyone inside the community because we can't just let 100 people in who don't know
anything about mona or like bots or farmers who just come into spam then it would ruin everything
so yeah all right thanks for your answer i think my second question is more towards tequila
so obviously uh i mean i know tequila from way before, we crossed paths before.
So my question is, what truly inspired you to actually build a project on Monad?
Because we started way long where there are other chains or there are more chains that came out before Monad.
But what truly inspired you to come to a decision that you want to build a project on Monad?
To be honest, I never wanted to make a project before,
but when in Monad, I'm posting my art,
and then I'm starting to do uh my contribution to monad and then people just love
it and then i make a chalk uh pfp but in my style and then uh my friend uh uh starting to to DM me and then say,
why don't you make a project like that?
And I was like, okay, why not?
And then I'm trying to find a team
and then I asked Reiji, the father of Chogs,
and then I asked Toons and Monette team.
And yeah, that's how Chogs and then I asked Toons and Monad team and yeah that's how Chogs
start built so I never thought of creating a project but in Monad I
feels like okay maybe this is my time to make my own project. So yeah, why not?
I mean, everyone here is talking about like the project and whatnot in general.
I'm more like looking for like what truly inspired you.
So I think that answers perfectly.
Thank you for the questions. I hope it's answering your questions. I think so. But yeah,
I think we have more questions from the comment sections.
Gmonad, question for the Chalkstars team. Are there plans to have another testnet test net mint aside the open edition? And for Kuru, will it be reviewed in the future,
adding social media features to search for tokens from Twitter?
I think we can start with the tequila first.
Like you just talk, I don't know, you just talk, but yeah, continue.
So we have two roles right now.
It's Starlist and Superstarlist.
So Superstarlist can mint on Tasnet.
So probably this month, we will do Tasnet mint.
Holders will get something. So, yeah.
Thank you for the answers.
And we can ask KB maybe about Kuru.
Yeah, we definitely do plan on adding all those features for social media and tokens and Twitter.
So definitely that is going to be in the future.
Oh, this is from U9 Crypto.
I really like Monat's content and community, but I have one concern.
I think the challenge is that there are too many NFTs projects and people are scattered.
What do you think are the necessary elements for many NFTs to be successful?
I don't know who wants to answer this. Maybe Finn, maybe you can start answering this.
Oh, I wish Karma was here.
Yeah, just from your point of view.
I think if you capture the attention of the community, like we already have like, you know,
Monarch community who are, who is like ready to support you.
You know their lore, you understand the culture.
You are blending in with them, going to the trench with them.
Then like the rest is just like your, your, your art skill and your management skill and you know um i think like most of the most of nft projects or collections i like are mostly tied to
the law of the monart community because that's where my heart is. So like Shockstar or anything with Molandars, anything with Moyaki,
anything to do with like community members,
PFPs, stuff like that always capture my attention
and a lot of like other members as well.
Yeah, because it feels more personal,
more like you are in the same cult, let's say.
So maybe Zera, you want to react to this statement
or maybe a question from you, Nine?
Because you're a community member
and you see a lot of people starting NFTs project in Monad.
Monad, what do you think from the community side?
What do you think from the community side?
Okay, so from me, I think a lot of NFT projects is really interesting.
I love the arts, I love the concepts, and I don't really talk about the market side,
but I think it's really interesting to see many community members
trying to give their contribution by making NFTs and making projects.
Yeah, that's fine. All right right thank you very much for the answers it's almost one and a half hours been talking it's been so fun by the
way uh so yeah i really appreciate for the listeners and if you haven't followed monad or
maybe our uh speakers like our guests tonight make sure to give them a follow guys.
These guys are, you know, the best that you can learn about Monad as well.
And the NFT side and maybe the deck side and also like the community side as well.
Like these guys, these ladies, this is awesome.
So yeah, is there any more question let me see uh oh we can go to some closing questions here uh maybe this like gonna be short answer but
you're gonna ask one by one if there is something you wish to add to Monad, what would it be? Maybe we can start with KB first, maybe?
Wait, something to add to Monad?
Yeah, something that you think is going to be really useful
or you wish this is available in Monad that hasn't been there yet, maybe?
that hasn't been there yet maybe?
I think that's more so like the broader things
of like just crypto in general.
I think that what Monad has to offer
is everything and more than like the general crypto space.
So I don't think there's much that needs to be added
except catching the attention of just
general ct okay i see i see so what about finn uh what is your uh things that you want to add it to
more not that you wish is there you know I think
more craziness to add in.
Maybe I would be the one putting some craziness in Mona.
If you want to do that, make sure Finn sees you
because that's what Finn's hope.
So yeah, maybe we can ask Tequila.
If there's something you wish to add to Monad, what would it be?
If you sell Monad games on the pipelines, it was very fun.
And I want to see Finn next time.
I want to see Finn next time.
I want to see Finn join Monad Games, please.
Yo, I mean, yeah, the video of the pipeline is really fun and yeah, I want to see you too. Like, both of you all, guys.
Alright, amazing, amazing.
So, Zera, is there anything you wish that's going to be added to Monad ecosystem?
Well, I agree with Tequila. We need more games, guys. We need more entertainment because it was really hilarious, bro.
Aside from that part, I think Monad is more than enough, guys.
So like, and yeah, maybe like more meetup.
I think that's a good thing.
Because I think even in Indonesia, I think it's been like three or maybe four already.
Correct me if I run Tequila.
I think you attend for almost every event in Indonesia or in the net.
So yeah, more events, guys.
You guys are really, really, really active. You, really, really active.
You actually go outside your hometown.
Yeah, I remember one of them, right?
Maybe we can ask also about Shomai. Mr. Shomai maybe have an answer as well.
Oh, yeah, sure. The answer for what?ai, Mr. Shomai maybe have an answer as well. Oh yeah, sure.
Oh yeah, the question is like,
is there any something you wish add to Monarch?
Oh, for me, I think Monarch is one of the most complex
blockchain, which it means like they already prepare around 220
uh ecosystem right before they even launch so they prepare all all the things necessary before
they launch the project and you haven't seen that kind of stuff in web training for me at least
So, yeah, I think there's a lot of things in Monad already that people might, if you
haven't tried the ecosystem or the chain, the testnet is live now.
And I think you can go to monad underscore XYZ to get more information about that.
last question for everyone one word to describe mona i have one challenge though i have one
challenge you cannot say community because we all know monad is all about community right
you cannot say community i got thumbs down from finn oh, my God. I'm sorry, Finn. This is a challenge, okay?
We didn't add it to the briefing, but this is a challenge for you guys.
Please give me thumbs down.
One word to describe Mona.
Can we start with someone else?
The challenge is making it harder, it harder I got my answer stolen
it's the most easy way to describe Mona
I need to make some challenge for you guys
start with Zera as a community member
but you cannot say community
for me maybe it's irreplaceable irreplaceable that's that's a big
word all right good we're going for tequila now um one word future future the future. Okay, future. Okay. KB?
Opportunity. All right. Fit. These guys already answered it and they didn't say community.
And I have one more challenge to you. You cannot say the same word.
I'm going to say molandak.
It's Indonesian animals called landak,
and we make it mon, like mol landak you know it's a word
it's a word i i accept it so remember me maybe since you are been in monad for some times maybe
the same question towards you oh wow okay okay i think um maybe family is it a cool answer I don't know I actually
surprised that no one said family before
it's time to close it out guys thank you so much
once again for Finn KB, Tequila, Zera to be our amazing guests for tonight.
And also remember us as like maybe if I have one word to describe, remember us.
It's going to be brothers, you know, like these boys are really helping me and help me grow as well so yeah if
you guys like maybe finding a place to be it can be Mona it can be remember it can be anywhere
actually as long as you feel the same vibe and you can feel like you can grow to be somebody in this
web3 space go for it like it doesn't have to be like in this place or that place, you know?
So yeah, for every people, I really appreciate for our listeners as well. Remember me as my co-host and also my founder and also people who asking questions towards
Mr. Shomai, I think Dave as well, and some other people from the reply section i'm really grateful that we can make it
happen today so thank you once again guys so maybe remember me have anything before we close this out
um jimona and yeah stay tuned with another writer with us thanks guys yeah thanks guys so see you in the
next ride with us thank you thank you thank you everyone thank you ginad everyone ginad ginad oh my god that's the perfect moment we see close it bro what is he sleeping
He's playing magic chess, I think.
