Hello everybody, welcome to Secret Spaces October 18th edition we do these every week.
At 4pm UTC today we're extremely thrilled to be hosting the Secret Agency.
Our top community contributors talking about the program's growth and the future of the agency. We recently published their Q3 report. You can view it on the secret network blog. Sit tight for a second while we get more of these guys here on stage and you'll learn a lot more about the
agency or that came from. Just give it a hot moment and please share this link around with your communities. If you've been hearing about secret agents or secret network, please just share this link with anybody who could be interested. This is probably the most important space to attend.
if you're just a community member trying to figure out how to get more involved at the network. The Secret Agency is the front door. They got dozens of working groups working on affecting change for the ecosystem shipping wins. Making sure privacy is something that gets adopted in Web 3 and we're thrilled to have them with us today. So just give us a second. We'll get them all up.
Good afternoon everybody. How are we all doing?
How's it going? Yeah, we're going ready for this. I'll just take an entire packet of sweets as well so that the enumers should be kicking in in a minute.
I'm nervous, but excited. Who else do I need to invite the Secret Agency? Handle up here on stage as well.
Okay. Brandon is in the chart, put black as well, and then whoever else wants to make a request, I see boxes in here as well.
Okay, people can step on up here. We want to make sure we have more listeners than speakers. So make sure we share this link around.
We'll kick off in just a second. We also, of course, have our usual secret spaces badge to claim. This is a very special one issued by the Secret Agency. We'll give you that claim code in a second, but of course, first we need to get everybody on here.
Also have Patrick up here with myself. This is Tor from the Secret Network Account. Patrick is also with Secret Foundation.
We're happy to continue hosting these on behalf of the ecosystem to feature more and more of the great contributors from all around the network.
I am told the announcements are out on all channels. I assume they've been sent around to Secret Discord, Secret Telegram, etc., etc. They're all out on Twitter as well.
we would love for you to send them to all your friends, on all your communities, let them know that this is a very important and special one because it's all about how you can get more deeply involved in the secret ecosystem and get rewarded for it.
So please jump in here, but let's kick off for seven minutes after the hour. We are here with the Secret Agency talking about the secret badges and secret spaces and all that good stuff. But most importantly, talking about the people that are involved in the program.
And with that said, I'll hand it off to everybody that we've got up here on stage quickly, give a personal introduction. I'm stressing quickly only because I know we have so much to get to, but if you're up here on stage, please introduce yourself and your role inside Secret Agency.
Hi everybody, I'm Scroler, I'm one of the secret network of Decreation Seed Leaders and I lead the engagement universities in
and be to test as working groups. So if you're interested in any of those, then speak to me. And there's also a new working group that we just started today that I'll tell you about a bit later.
Yeah, I will start. I'm Wesley. I'm C. Grayson lead as well mainly focusing on international growth and social media and everything internally. So that's me.
I'll skip Brendan here. He should probably go before me, but give him a minute to unmute. My name is Melch. I am the lead of the University working group and the new
lead of the agency's event coordination and the Secret Service team that we activate for in real life events. I'm excited to give some details on that later.
Hey, what's up guys? I'm Brendan from Whispernode and I am one of the original founding members of the Secret Agency and kind of just have my hands involved in a lot of different things
mainly concerned with overall strategy and onboarding of new agents. So, welcome to everyone and happy to be working alongside these other guys up here.
Hey guys, I'm Poblac, I'm the lead for Squid Network Africa. Yeah, it's good to be here.
Do we get everybody or is Brenner just gonna wave?
I think we have Brandon. I think that's everybody now. Yeah, there's quite a lot because this is not all others as well. No, of course not. No, no, secret agents are are Legion.
Yeah, it's a man who leads education and sure leads design. Couldn't be here today, but they are going to be listening in later on.
Well, glad we have as many of you today that we do. Let's get right into it. But first, of course, we should drop the secret badge claim details. If you've never minted a secret NFT, these are free-demand secret NFTs. The link to mint your very own secret badge for attending today's event is actually in the pinned tweet.
So Patrick has pinned a tweet here. Follow the link there to see today's Secret Badge, honoring the Secret Agent Program. Show your support for the Secret Agents. Show that you were here. The claim code I'm told is agents. All one word, all capital letters agents, AGE and T.S.
And that's going to let you mint a very special badge from attending today's space. It will only be available for a very short time and then never again. So please ensure that you get these spaces badges minted if you want to keep showing your support for the ecosystem. And they're also just really fond of mint.
So with that done, that's the housekeeping. Let's get straight into the meat. What is the secret agency? That's the burning question. People may not really understand what secret agency does, what secret agents do all over the world, why it exists, what the mission is, there's a lot that we could say. But let's talk about
What secret agency is today and maybe the best place to start is, where did this idea of the secret agency come from? What did this program grow out of? Then let's talk about what is agency today? How is it evolved and why is it an even better opportunity for community members now more than ever?
Yeah, Brendan, you want to take us right back to the beginning where it all started? Yeah, sure. I was wondering who was going to take that one. So the Secret Agency kind of had its origins back when Secret Network was the Enigma project, if you guys remember
back in 2017 and back then we kind of had this core group of contributors. I think we called it the Enigma Collective. And as part of that collective, there were just a few of us that were engaged directly with the Enigma team and we
We would kind of help out on day-to-day activities like business development, design, doing research on staking protocols back before proof of stake was really a thing. And it was just a neat way for community members to get involved with the core team and really help contribute to
to the project's success. So when the entire kind of rebrand happened and secret network was built in the cosmos, we wanted to kind of take that original collective idea and expand upon it and really create this new program
that allowed this blossoming community to really contribute to the ecosystem in a lot of different ways. So that's kind of the history behind it and maybe, Skrilly, you want to talk about kind of where we've learned upon some of those lessons and kind of where we're
taking the program now. Yeah absolutely so West Secret Agency is now we are at early stage now and our intention is to perform governance by contributions so everybody that joins Secret Agent and contributes to the added value to
the secret network will be offered the chance to drive the direction of the agency down. So we've just got the dowel set up and we're just trying to figure out how to how to move the government as far as possible at the moment. So that's where we're at with all that. But secret agency is evolved from being
kind of traditional ambassadors programme to be much much more than that. We are kind of the between all of the different moving parts of the network. We perform things like testing for that team, so we do a lot of representation of events and university around the world.
We make educational articles and design content. We do several international communities and moderation and translation of all those materials into different languages. We also maintain a social media presence and our own brand as well. So there's a lot going on.
on we do have some new activities that we're bringing in as well as we try and perform the best duties that we can to the secret network. So yeah, I think we're going to go through each one of those later on but really there's a space and secret agency for anyone with any skill sets as long as you're
If you're looking to start a web free career or you just want to learn more then we've got a space for you to come and do that in an environment where you'll be trained and mentored and helped by a very active community of like-minded people. And yeah, we just like to invite anyone that's listening to this space system
join the secret SCRT.network forward slash agents. So I'll post a link in the comments as well and you can just go ahead and follow that to join us. And yeah, I guess
With a little bit of introduction, we can talk about some of our working groups' achievements over the last quarter. We just finished Q3. It was the first three months of the Dow set up. We actually divided the tasks of the secret agency into several different working groups.
And then we discovered that we needed to add more working groups because people wanted us to perform our tasks. So yeah, I'll kind of start with the engagement and recruitment because that's usually the first place people jump off into the agents program. So these working groups are for people who like to recruit their friends.
you like to build communities, we've unborded just over 4,000 sheep of age and so the last quarter and we consider 50% of them to be fully unborded so a ballpark figure for most of these ambassador programmes you probably fully unborded about 11% of your
initial signups and so that's considering the signup to all the social medias they've integrated within the community they've watched some educational videos all of that stuff is considered to be come fully unborted so we've smashed it on the fact that we've got 50% fully unborted but we're always looking to bring that number
but closer to the amount of people that have signed up. So, yeah, so we have a whole HQ platform which links into all of your social networks, a Discord, Twitter and YouTube Twitch as well. We're bringing in, and in there you can complete missions, you can end points, you can get NFTs,
for ranking block and also crypto rewards as well. You can get into data within the community of elder reputation and as you perform tasks at different levels, say let's say you're a translator for example, we can also give you something to show for yourself or the work that you've done for your certifications.
There's a DAP that's building on secret network called SETL and we intend to provide agents with achievements for specifications for any of the specializations that they've got. So if you're trying to take your agents and you look at start web creeper here, you will be able to build a CV with us as well.
I mean, that's unbelievably exciting that this is not only do you get to contribute directly to key network milestones and join all these awesome working groups that you're going to be recognized for the privilege and have something that then you can show later as that status. I love the idea, you know, we've talked a lot about how the blockchain
can be a store of reputation and truth. But we've also talked about how a private by default blockchain is ideal for this because it allows for the most choice by both who would be ever issuing that reputation or wanting to express that reputation. It's not all public by default on chain.
still sort of a permission based model on a permissionless system. If you want to reveal that you have some type of reputation and that you've accomplished something, it is always the user's choice to be able to do so, but you're not sort of forced to have 100% of your history observable to everybody all the time in a way that
that's like doxing your private information, right? Really what makes this wonderful is that it's using Secret Network itself as a foundation for the type of system that we want agents to be able to use in the future, not just for their agency reputation, but for really anything that they would be doing in Web 3 and then hopefully anything they would be doing in the real world.
after the fact that's an ideal use case for blockchain. But really only if these privacy protections are built into the layer one has the reception to these ideas been really great from the agent community so far. Yeah, we feel like everyone that enters in the secrets.
agency, especially within the secret network, is very focused on the privacy aspect. There's a higher cause than most of the crypto networks where you are chasing value. In most cases, we think that in this instance, we're kind of fighting against these public by default systems that we
And the majority of our community is very, very like minded. There's an open discussion on privacy topics in scientific school server. So if you go to the main secret network server and then just had to found privacy, you'll find the latest news on the privacy technology.
to feel that and the agents are very very active inside that chat providing feedback. If you have any questions related to something that's not even secret network based but it's a certain privacy that you've composed of there. I'm sure you'll find a healthy reception from the community.
Yeah, can I chime in and add on that, Skrill? What I've noticed is at least in our university efforts, it's amazing that hook of privacy. We present secret and how it's different and then what it has to offer these students and developers that are
still in school or just graduating. Not only can they do like what Skrill and Brendan were saying where you know come make a reputation for yourself, build a brand and then get training in a career, but you see the ones that when they click after that presentation that oh man developing on a private blockchain
I have a lot of different capabilities, right? My stash and NFTs are different or I can build, we did a workshop for decentralized Netflix at May, May, that New York, that we're going to be implementing into our university presentations. You see that when students get that in a really
that conversion to become an agent or then to use those resources like you know developer funds or mentorship inside the the secret university if you're a developer that you just get a much stronger response. Nobody's coming in for a
You know, in a 4-Me mentality, it's a much more for the betterment of Web3 and applications being built. It's a very cool pull and very nice to see from such a large community. And then that's what keeps people sticking around. They don't just come and leave.
Yeah, absolutely. I'm fresh off of University Lecture just last week with five UK universities, everyone in Glasgow, Scotland. And yeah, they were all very much entitled by the privacy element, but the main question that they were asking before we set up the workshop and we were going to kind of research into the audience for
How do we start a career in web3? I was thinking about it and I was like there's no one that tells you how to do this. Really if you haven't got a specific skill set, you would develop it or something like that. There's no one who tells you how to just jump in. A lot of the careers in web3 are reputation-based.
you have to try and understand how decentralized community operates and how you gain reputation inside that structure. It's just not written down anywhere. We did actually flip the original workshop on its head. We did like a kind of half and half privacy and digital rights workshop with
Then we went into careers and talked about our experiences in Web 3. For me first and foremost, the Secret Agency has been a recruitment programme. At the end of the day, we take people from all our life with all skillsets, find out what they go to and put them in the place, the best fits for the network.
where they can work to the best of abilities, do what they enjoy, meet like many people, get them to ship and develop the CV and hopefully some point better job somewhere within the network. Most of the people that are on the call have been on that path of a walk-in along its own point.
Wesley, why don't you just jump in and talk about how that is going to be for international communities? Yeah, so basically we created all kinds of international channels from
China till the Asia side. What we're trying to do is to get everything that is our mission, to get everything as translated and reachable as possible. So for example, if I go in and can give
an example we started with a translator team before that we had a repository translation repository story where everyone could translate old articles for example. Eventually we evolved in a more high quality team
that provides translations for really relevant articles, for example, or maybe in the future pre-translated articles. So for example, for blogs or for learning articles. And yeah, what we're really
trying to do is that everyone that doesn't have the skills to speak English properly with the technical aspects, they can just read it in their own language. For example, when I started with this translated
side I was watching Lani for example translate things in Dutch and even when you are translating things you are learning things from the technical aspect so I think international wise translators it's really
good that we set up this and I hope to expand also not only secret eight network based but also for example for depth in the future because I think this is really needed so that is translators wise we have
a lot of community managers that share the news from every depth. We're trying to expand it as well in Twitter accounts, having different language, and that's basically the international side
Nice, thanks, I was anyway. We also, so whilst the communities are set up all over the world, we're also taking the people who manage those communities and who perform the translations, we're also training them in leadership skills, we're training them on how to go to events all over the world and talk
to people in the web free space and generate business leads for the network, speak to people like VCs and bring them in and educate anyone that they meet, also onboarding devs as well. So a big part of our strategy is to track cryptocurrency events
globally and we're also looking at Web2 events now as well in some respects for the new year and we actually give agents the tools that they need some merchandise, privacy, hearts to go out to those events and to create their own networks and their own communities and then once they create the network we give them resources to
So what we call secret workshops where it's taking people, let's say for example at an Ethereum conference and running their side event where they teach everyone that's got a wallet that's been doxed, that's a private wallet via secret network. So essentially how to start again, crypto or if it's like an NFT.
conference then we could show people how to mint a private NFT with private metadata on secret network. So yeah, all of the working groups and all of the activities that agents do, we try to intermingle and give them as much opportunity as possible to develop themselves.
and to go out and create their own networks and become leaders and forfeited into space in their communities. So over the last quarter we sent agents out to 12 events all over the world from Columbia to Thailand to to campus.
to check with public and Berlin I believe and Barcelona, London all over the world to go and be evangelist to Secret Network and represent the network and Malch has created this program called the Secret Service which is going to be our sort of underground group
the ground team for next year. So March 20, it sounds a little bit of our secret service and what that's going to bring. Yeah, this is my new little baby that I'm working with the foundation guys and Jay and everybody it's a fun one because we've done our first two events that were very big events and now we're
scheduling out one per month. The whole point of this Secret Service team is to get three to five agents. Obviously, we've had events where many, many more agents show up and help with either the booth or any capacities handing out the privacy hands that everybody loves. But the Secret Service team will be through
three to five agents that are really going to step up. They're going to go through a special field agent training, work one on one with myself and the foundation event coordinator, Lindsay. Their whole goal is to accomplish three or four direct goals that have a very direct effect on the network.
are real quickly, they're just minting us badge. Actually, the us badge that's welcome to Secret Networks, so that it tells you exactly how a private NFT works on Stash to download a Secret wallet. Right now, we've got Fina wallet that's just opened up their validator, so they're doing some really big things.
But recruit recruit as an agent or recruit a developer for secret university and that's what their focus is going to be right we found that when we went to events I know Brendan and I were at Decentral Austin in the summer and There was a lot of agents there, but we needed to have a little more fine
focus of what are we achieving and doesn't have a direct ROI for secret network and the applications building on it. Because if we can make them the application successful, obviously that's going to come back and make the network itself successful. And it's nice because it gives a huge opportunity to agents.
Big shout out to Papang, Jose V, who is in here, Charles Gomez and some of the other agents who stepped up and said, "Hey, I'll be a secret service." They funded themselves to get there, they stepped up and worked the booth, they got those four direct results. Yeah, the Secret Service team in a nutshell.
But we're doing one event per month, so anybody come join the events working group and we'll get you spun up and doing some in real life events. Yeah, and if I just wanted to add one thing and I that was an awesome intro to the field agents in the Secret Service Melch, really
doing an awesome job with that. And one more thing, just you know, that we were noticing from our experience at Austin and dealing with other secret agents around the world is a lot of people in the community, a lot of secret agents, you know, they know a lot about the network, but they're scared or
or they don't feel like they know enough to go to an event and represent the network. So part of what Melch and others have also done is put together this field agents conference guide where the goal is to really educate people on who are the different
You know people you're going to encounter at a conference if you're representing Secret Network so if you know you have a conference in your country or your town and you want to go and represent Secret Network you're going to encounter a lot of different people you may encounter developers that want to build on the network it may be NFT creation
that want to utilize the private metadata and unique access control properties of secret NFTs. It may be, you know, infrastructure providers wanting to provide load-balanced APIs or venture capitalists that want to invest in projects on secret networks.
So what we found was like a lot of people were intimidated by you know talking to a wide variety of people and being unsure of like what they should say in a different conversation. So part of this program also is again getting back to that what Scryl has said about you
know tutoring people and mentoring people on how to start web 3 careers and things is training these field agents up on how they can talk to these different people they're going to meet at events. Yeah, not everybody can be secret 0000. I think you're
the original of original agents, Brendan. So you've got all the knowledge from a long time spent. I just made all the mistakes. No, you didn't. No, you didn't. Yeah, I think it's a nice thing. I was going to save this to the end, but I've got a little bit of alpha for everybody.
So, we've actually just started in the vein of helping people over calling them those kind of issues, confidence issues, teaching people how to speak to potential needs of business partners, come to you a bit of a scary situation, and even teaching people how to do stuff like this where you're speaking publicly, even though it's facing
on the screen, it might be in real life. I myself have a massive issue with this until I just kind of start doing it. But we are going to offer through the new negotiators working group. We're going to offer leadership mentorship. We're going to offer things, classes and public speaking. We're going to work together to create new
workshops and what if I know the existing ones, we're going to talk about experience in the fact when speaking with people and yeah it's just going to be a really open space. I've never called once a week. We're bringing different leaders from all around the network. Hopefully even all around the cosmos to talk about their experiences
negotiations and products, speaking that kind of areas. So if you're interested in joining in, just head over to the Secret Network Discord server if you've already been agents and you'll find negotiators channel just underneath and get just a hand recruiters under the
So at the moment you can everyone compares it in there and yeah tell us a little bit about yourself and what you most importantly what you want to get out of the negotiator's working group because it's going to help us to make a kind of learning path for everyone that fits everybody. The more feedback you can give us the better. It's very new, it's only started this morning
and it's only time here where I am in Europe. So yeah, please, please, please, please, if involved, if you're not an agent, I'll post a link in the comments to do an agency. It's SCRT.network/agent. Yeah, we hope that everyone that's listening will
join in and if you want to give a class even better get in touch with me I'm going to get you onto the schedule. A free masterclass training from JXR. I know he'll be in there. This is so cool.
All this stuff. Thanks so much for watching here.
Now go for it man, go for it. Yeah, I was just going to say we'll be there. I think we took a personal day tour.
Sure, you can tell me what I'm qualified to teach and I'll teach it.
Well, we're about let's see halfway through. I'm going to repeat just quickly some housekeeping the claim code for today's secret badge. I really think today's secret badge is of important secret badge because secret agents are always using things like secret badges to experiment with the network there. They're constantly on the
leading edge of everything that's built on secret helping test new applications and helping build some of themselves. So if you want to support them today, there's no better way than to actually use secret network and claim a private by default NFT as a free mint. The secret badge claim code today is agents. So if you click the link in the pinned tweet here,
It will take you straight to the page where you can claim your own freement, NFT, in honor of the Secret Agency joining us today on Secret Spaces. Every week you'll be able to claim a new badge for attending spaces. So thanks for attending here today. I know the agency guys appreciate it and everybody in the Secret ecosystem does appreciate your ongoing support.
So where were we? I mean, you guys are covering a lot of ground here. Is there anything really that we haven't covered to this point? We're going to leave the last bit of the space, of course, if anybody in the audience has questions about the agency's program, as thought about joining the agency's program, just isn't sure what they would contribute to or what would be
in it for them, you know, feel free to jump up here, ask your questions. Should we leak some secret agents 2.0? Is it too sooner? Can we spill some alpha there? Oh, man. I think it's okay to leak the alpha a little bit, at least
I mean, people, if you have not been following secret agency, you may not even understand how wonderful the one point of effort around agency has been. I mean, everything to take it even to this point has been an iterative labor of love from a lot of individuals in the ecosystem. And it's wonderful to see the kind of value that they've brought to new entrants. We're trying to
the most open and empowering ecosystem in Web 3, one that's driven by ethos and purpose, more so than speculation of course, and that's where the privacy ethos for our project really comes into play. So I think if people are curious about what's happening even next, people always love to be part of the future, you know, as much as
there's so much going on in the present. If you're joining agents today, you will be part of building what the program becomes next. That's the nature of these kinds of dows is that they are always evolutionary. So with that said, I think if you're ready to share a little bit of extra information, people would love to hear a little bit more about what you guys have been considering.
So the goal of the Negotiator's Working Group is to train up agents to become the glue that really holds secret work together. So we're going to offer to all of the dark teams in the
in on secret we're going to offer direct support from agents so you'll be able to come to us with any questions, technical questions as well from your development team and we'll be creating FAQs that are going to benefit the rest of the network. We are organizing several Haka phone events in the new year so keep
the ground for the events, they're going to be targeting Europe and the Middle East at the moment. There's plenty of test and opportunities as well for agents that want to jump into some of the data in early stage development and help us in our notebooks and figure
the UI issues and stuff like that. So yes, if you know secret 2.0 is to just become this organization that anybody in the network can come to, connect it to pretty much everybody and we just want to be the conduit for communication between all of the different moving parts of the decentralized
the organisers of Secret Network. So that's the vision. We've already kind of put in the structure and it's nice to deliver it via things like negotiators, our main goal is to train our team and develop as much as possible.
to be able to perform all of the functions that we've discussed as best we possibly can. So there is a couple more of the working groups to go through and I just want to bring in Wesley to talk about our strategy with social media and how we kind of market this stuff.
Yeah, of course I just wanted to ask that as well. Yeah, I first want to ask for the people that aren't still following the secret agency Twitter to follow if they want of course, but basically I want to quickly say
what we are doing at the Secret AC Twitter through the week. So for example, we start on Monday having, because since a couple of weeks we also have the Agents of the Roundtable on the Thursday at the Secret Agency Twitter.
And on the Monday we have the weekly report for all the things that we've done the last week with the Secret Agency and we are putting the seven wins of the week online as opposed to the Secret Agency Media, Secret Agency Twitter.
We got the guest announcements of the age of the round table as well on the Monday and the riddle of the week. So, so agents around table Thursday on where is our robot podcast that's age run it takes place on Thursday afternoon. I think it's 1700 duty see on the SOT.
on the SCOA agency Twitter. Yes. And on Tuesday we got a weekly recap that's also weekly so basically what we are providing there is all the events that was happening in the secret network ecosystem we post that
there because sometimes it's really hard for people to find every new update that is on the secret ecosystem so we just have a recap on the Tuesday. Starting from the Tuesday to the Sunday we have the daily working group achievement summary so that's basically
Every working group has its achievement and we are just highlighting that every day. On the Wednesday we have the fact of the week that's basically the fact that people don't know about the ecosystem and then another age of the round table.
reminder. Thursday is the day of the A's of the round table, Twitter spaces on 5pm, you can see what the drill already said and we have the word of the day. Also something like an informational thing related to
words that are difficult for people to understand in the crypto space. And on Friday we have the photo on the week to have more interaction. And basically in the Saturday and Sunday we have not many things yet, but on the Sunday we have like a recording from the things that we did that week with
the Secret Agency. And what we want to do in the future is more that we want to get more live things from events like real pictures that people can engage with that. Also, we want to provide more possibilities for depth to
promote their own announcements, for example, that we can all push that into the right direction. So, yeah, basically that is what we are trying to do. We're also starting a Instagram very soon for the people that aren't much involved with
the secret Twitter itself. I mean, but for maybe the younger people between 18 and 35 that are more into Instagram. So we want to expand that as well. And yeah, putting their more more information as well. So that is basically what we
trying to do it tomorrow. Yeah thanks I think so I say we're really looking for people who are experienced with Instagram content, reals creation and Twitch as well we want to livestream some some of these workshops so if you're if you're a Twitch streamer or you love to create reals on Instagram to get in touch with us bring you on board
Okay, we've just been joined by Ertaman, which leads the education working group. And yeah, Ertaman, do you want to talk about some other stuff that you guys do when you're working group, including design as well?
I can cycle education and design. I just finished my dinner. Had to happen as well. Sean is actually working mostly with me on education. What we do is we help people create content. I guess that's the easiest way to describe it. So we're hopefully a good knowledge base in the network to
help people understand the network better, ask any questions they have, this can be developers, VCs, but also users or anyone in the network in particular. And alongside that, we create content together with the foundation team, not only RITM, but also Fideo create thread
for secret labs to better explain the tech stack that secret has. And just all over hopefully educate users and investors one by one as long as they are using and following our channels. So that's what we do. So if you're interested, want to help out.
create some content and feel free to join the working groups and also message and we have some bounties out to create some of the content. We are looking for right now so it's always fun to interact and help you create some nice pieces that you can put in your CVE or in your portfolio for later as well.
Well, in an effort to poach all of your guys agents to bring them over to the University Working Group. Here's my quick pitch on it. Yeah, the University Working Group is the one that I help lead and definitely has some fast results. We've partnered with over 30
universities. I think we're up to 32 if exactly. But that is the same efforts that we're doing with the Secret Service team. We want agents to be able to come in and get activated quickly if you know how to partner with universities or you're good at presenting like Artimans awesome with the technical stuff
So he's going to be helping us out, present to Virginia Tech this Thursday. And then at the end, we recruit either agents, devs, phenovalid downloads or Mint your first out bed right there in the university presentation. It's one of the most attended weekly working groups and it's a fun one. These guys pulling a lot of results. So thank you to everybody.
that's already in there and hopefully everybody comes join the University of Iran instead of Erdemann or anybody else's so I'm going to try to steal them from you guys. Keeping in mind of course that agents are free to contribute across multiple working groups and many agents who do start contributing to a single working group often
started companies within the secret space. They've started validators and they make money from their validators within the secret ecosystem. They meet co-founders, they join organizations that are already building in the ecosystem or, you know, nearby it, right? Like they join other Cosmos projects where they join projects elsewhere in Web 3 on Ethereum. You know, this is just an
amazing front door for builders. And again, the main reason you should be passionate about this program is not just because of its structure and its opportunities, not just because of the people leading it and participating in it, but because it all ties back to a real ethos that we have for the Web 3 space. We really want to see privacy-sense
solutions built alongside decentralized solutions. And we firmly believe as an ecosystem these two things have to go hand in hand. You cannot have sustainable decentralized platforms that don't provide user privacy. They just will not be sustainable. They will not serve the users they purport to.
But you also cannot have private solutions, like privacy solutions for users that don't have this aspect of decentralization. Otherwise, they're always going to be under threat or it's going to put the users at risk. So decentralization and privacy need to go hand in hand with secret and its technologies they do.
And also with secret agents they absolutely do. These are the global evangelists who help to ensure that that message is heard loud and clear, not just by developers and not just by investors, but by anybody who's passionate about using the internet and all of these technologies that are being developed in Web 3. And we couldn't be more happy to make sure that
They're all finding a home within secret network and within the secret agency and then eventually hopefully finding their home within long standing sustainable projects within our ecosystem that help make better solutions for users in every market and every country and continent around the world.
We got 10 minutes left till the top of the hour, so I just wanted to break in and remind people if you've got questions about the Secret Agency program or anything else related to it, we always leave the end of the call for your questions. Please stick your hands up here. We'll try to get many of you onto the stage. The best people to answer your questions are already up here. They would be delighted to talk with you about
their work or delighted to talk to you more about the opportunities in the program. And feel free to introduce yourself as you ask your question, but just make sure it's a question. And we'll use the next 10 minutes for that. And then we'll just wrap up with some calls to action for anything that we may have missed. Go ahead, Victoria. I brought you up. Hey, thanks for that.
opportunity. I just wanted to bring to light the group in secret Africa. They're a huge part of the agent program. So I wanted to hear from Pope Black about how many agents there are over there. What are some past successful events that he's been involved with and what can we
look forward to in the future with them. Yeah, thank you very much for the question. So, in secret Africa, we have over 100 of agents currently active in any applications. I said from that, two, two, three, four, three, four, three, four, three, four, three, four, three, four, three, four, three, four, three, four, three, four, three, four, three, four, three,#
We have to generate leads and we have to come up with some good partners for speed of gas. Also, we also plan to organize a ton and other events in Africa. We are able to develop as in Africa and we believe we need to build applications for private
We need to be in the privacy of applications for African consumers, also African users. And also we also plan to partner with some of these applications on the ecosystem, not to foster their good in Africa, not to give them to the market and find a final payroll for consumer for their product as well.
So yeah we have a lot of things in pipeline which we are working towards and we will be losing more of it as soon as possible. Thank you very much. Yeah, I hope you are running that education podcast that is organized. Is it 1930 UTC from the Secret Africa Twitter row? Yeah, we usually
of activities every week or Mondays are usually a model of the twist show. So in that model of the twist show, keeping guys of detail with every sense activities happening on the ecosystem. And on Wednesday, it's educational Twitter series and telegram series and Discord as well. So very careful about some of the topics in WebTrees.
Also, we have to have a privacy in applications and also general topics as well while on Friday it is a CIFI game night. So I would believe we need to engage in with it more with what we know in the ecosystem. So we test agents knowledge on things we know in the ecosystem, then note the
and the other things that I'm going to do is to make sure that the team is in the same position as the team.
Thanks so much. Hope does anyone else have a question? If you do, then just request a speak and we'll bring you up to the stage.
While we're waiting for a question to come up, since we've got all of us in one place, I would love to ask one question, which is that if we wanted to try to get another 10,000 secret agents into the program,
What do you think is the one thing that we can or could be doing? What's stopping us from going out there and finding the next 10,000 secret agents who can help become these evangelists across every market? I'm curious of any of you with personal perspective.
even you don't have to speak on behalf of the agency, but just yourself. I always ask these questions of DAPS that come on secret spaces too. What would it take to onboard another million users to your secret app? What do we think it would take to get tens of thousands more agents and
engaging with the program that we're not already doing. I think from my perspective, I think we need to be everywhere. The much more awareness everyone has, the much more people know about our system and our ecosystem.
Yeah, I think we can start with the universities and create communities of the universities that can lead our international communities, which Wesley is doing right now, then we've got
brilliant jump off points onboarding more people and excited by the prospect of a private and by default blockchain and want to build with us or want to become our next
negotiators or key opinion leaders or designers. I think the universities are key to all of this and through that we can train our secret service agents and send them out to the fans all over the world.
I think that's a good mix of students and catch-in young developers. I think when you catch young developers, they're going to go on and build maybe the killer app or just nap that brings on a ton of users. What I've noticed is back when we used to do events, wallets are now key.
Right before then we didn't have a very good mobile wallet. Now we almost have more than you can remember to choose from. So I think what I've noticed in recent presentations is having that ability right there on the phone, whether it's a virtual presentation to University and they scan a QR code and they're able to
pick, I'm a developer, I'm going to Secret University, I'm joined the agents program and being a translator or whatnot, having that wallet effect and just makes that onboarding so much easier and then tying that with universities and in real life events is going to make recruitment very sticky.
Yeah, I'm just kidding. Oh, sorry. I also wanted to say that this may be a good idea, but we already talking about it. But to attend more web to conferences, get more web to people into the web free space. I think that's also a good thing too.
I wonder if you could join the secretions page of where Wallet Fina. I just thought about how you were talking about it. Yeah, we've actually got it. Maybe not on the website, but we have it on the secret link tree. So we have those four initiatives and we say, "Hey, here's your Fina Wallet, download it, here's Stash, you can interact
with the right here and here's how you mint your S-Vage. It really blows people's minds. I just did that on my phone. I have a private NFT. Here's the private metadata to a link that shows me a YouTube video. Nobody else can see except for me because I minted this. It is a very cool effect and you see I think that that's going to really catch light of fire for the agency program.
There's a lot of life-old moments like that. When I even go to meet-ups personally, I'm not necessarily selling people on any dapper or another, but I'm just explaining the network and I'm trying to explain the value of privacy. The biggest thing that we always are dealing with in terms of education around the network is people are like privacy and
just means money-vondering. And we're trying to say no it's about providing experiences that can't be provided on any other network where we're trying to make these intangible things like privacy and empowerment and consent. We're trying to make them tangible through our applications. So the more agents are helping to teach people globally around what that can feel like.
on an application, on the network, the more people start having those kinds of good feelings directly about the network, the more that makes them want to dig deeper, explore, discover these other applications, but also these other people. So one other thing I'd want to probably stress is the key next step for people is discovering community. They're discovering the product, sure, you're getting that light
fall moment that's getting them thinking. How do we ensure all these people then come into the secret agent channels, the secret discord, the discord for all the different apps on the network, start discovering other thinkers or other creators and making those calls to action really clear. A lot of what agency is about and can be about is just making
making sure that everybody coming into the network understands that there are many paths and they help them walk those paths. And most of what that path means is discovering other people who can walk alongside you. As the program grows, we know that's going to get tougher because there's so many thousands of people who could join, but it's essential that you kind of find
your co-conspirators when you join a program like this. You find people in your local market or find people with similar passions. You just talk, you discover, and then you decide to build something in the place that you've already decided to make your home because you trust that home. You trust this private by default foundation. Really excited to see
the work continue on educating and onboarding, but most excited of all to see these people come into the secret discord, introduce themselves for the first time and say, "Hey, I found out about secret through secret agency. I'm a secret agent now. Here's what I'm about. Here's what I care about. Here's how I found this, but here's what I want to do next." That's going to
be the most exciting next step for me and I'm really excited for you guys to continue helping as many people in our ecosystem take those next steps as possible. Yeah, I'll just say it guys. I think very, very hard about what you want your cool secret agent needs to be before you sign up. It's quite hard to walk back when everybody knows those are made.
I'm Tor. How do you think I feel? My agent name is the same as my actual name. What a mistake I made. I could have been anything. It's a cool name. It's a cool name.
I could have been whispered note. I could have been anything. It would have been really dope. Well, guys, we're here at the top of the hour. One last time, give your calls to action. I'll share quickly the claim code for today's badge. So remember, we do have a pinned tweet here. If you have not claimed your
secret badge. These are free to mint NFTs, secret agents work with a lot of these free to mint NFTs as they own where people through the program. They're also working with SIRDUP as they mentioned earlier, but if you want to go and mint your very first secret NFT, you can do that right now by going to the link in the pinned
and you'll need the claim code. The secret claim code for today is not that secret, I guess. The claim code is agents. All capital letters, AGE, NTS, that claim code will let you mint this badge. It's free to mint. It'll land right in your secret wallet. You'll just need to
you unlock it, create a permit, and then that's for you to have. And then of course, if you want to set up a public profile, you can be a public agent, but you can always be a private agent, it's totally up to you. That's the way that it works. So thank you again to the Secret Agency team. Last calls to action.
maybe throw a scrilla for people who want to go and join the program. Obviously I'll tell them they should go to scrt.networks/agents. Where else can they go to keep learning more about the program? We're talking more with you guys and diving deeper into the community.
Yeah, you can head over to our Twitter, it's SCRT_Agency, there you'll find all of our podcasts and updates on what we've been doing. We have our events call which is @CREDIFAMRANGAR
but it's at 1600 UTC every Wednesday so that's where you can learn about the latest events that we're going through all around the world. You can also ask us if there's a particular event in your city that you'd like to attend as a super
and we can look and see who else's and you're area and how you work with people to go along. But yeah, our DMs are always open as well, so feel free to send us a message and ask us any questions. And we hope to see you over at the Secret Agency.
Thank you everybody for attending today. You heard it. Follow all these awesome people on stage, follow Secret Agency, follow Secret Network. And we will catch you in the Secret Discord chat.scrt.network. Come talk to us. We would love to get you connected with projects that are ongoing in this space. Like I said, there are
rewards and opportunities available for everybody regardless of your background regardless of your skills we would love to work with you. Thank you again guys and we'll see you next week on Secret Spaces, same time, same channel, for PMUTC. We'll see you back here on Twitter. Thanks everyone, have a great week.
Bye bye. Thanks, Tom. Thanks everybody.
