test and test in. Good afternoon, everybody.
Give us just a few minutes while we get everybody on stage.
I think we're just waiting on one.
Yeah, it's all right. I think we have everybody on stage.
Welcome, secret spaces, everybody.
This is a weekly Twitter spaces featuring ecosystem news
and contributors to secret network.
And today we have some pretty cool projects with us.
We have three recent grant recipients
and we're going to be hearing about what kind of projects
they're building on secret and how it fits into secret's
I think we have everybody we need.
So let's go ahead and start with introductions.
Gov.team, do you want to start off with your introduction?
Also, we are just waiting for Oliver.
Yeah, sorry, you're good.
So let's go with another team while you're waiting on Oliver.
Paige Dowd, do you guys want to start?
Hi, my name's Thomas Dylan Daniel.
I'm joined by my co-founders, InDeaf Atigable and Cryptoversel.
And we have been since 2021 working on finding the best
way to publish books to the blockchain.
50 Way, do you guys want to go?
And actually, I just realized I think we have three people from
Paige Dowd up here and I thought it was somebody from 50 Way.
So I think we're still trying to get them on stage too.
Krilla, do you want to go ahead since you're up here?
Hopefully, Oliver will be here soon.
Yeah, he's just joining now, so he's going to request to speak.
I spent several years working with Teams and Secret Network
and over at Secret Agency.
And I recently moved over to Govdowers, head of partnerships.
We are, there's two sides to Govdowers.
So one side is a blockchain legal and regulatory
advisory, and the other side is a technology company.
So we are developing some down tooling for specifically
And we have got a lot of requests for privacy features.
So hence why we submitted a grant to Secret Network
to build out some features with privacy in mind.
And yeah, it's a pleasure to be here.
Can't wait to hear about the other couple of projects.
I think we're still waiting on 50 way to get here,
but I think we'll have to just go ahead and kick things off
and we'll let them do their introduction once they get
So as we said, these are three of the five projects
that were, well, three of the five teams
that were approved for a grant.
We recently relaunched the Secret Labs grant program
And over the past month, we've been
meeting with these teams and going over milestones
and discussing what they're trying to build
and seeing if it's a good fit for the ecosystem.
And on January 19th, we put out an announcement
about five teams that have been selected to receive a grant.
And these five teams are going to be working
on four different projects, basically.
Two of these teams paged out in 50 way
are kind of working closely together
to build a singular project because of what
they were trying to do was kind of related in a way.
So we'll go into more of that in just a little bit.
But I guess to start off, Alex or Hice,
do you guys want to talk just from a high level
about this new grants program and how things
Yeah, what are the overall goals of this grants program
and how does it differ maybe from the past grants program?
Yeah, so again, happy to be here for us.
Those have been like six weeks of intensive work
with a lot of teams and we had to choose the teams
that we can grant, can provide grants in this quarter.
So, you know, making us take a step back
so that this updated grants program,
the goal of the program is to be,
well, obviously to support the ecosystem,
support developers with interesting projects,
bring usage to the secret network
and promote our overall agenda,
which is becoming the confidential computing layer
That's in terms of the philosophy and the goals.
we wanted to make this grant program more structured
than it used to be a secret before.
So what we plan to do this year
is we plan to have four cohorts
or four installments of the grant program,
one every quarter with very clear timelines,
with clear budget and with a small number of projects
So we said that we will be supporting three to four projects
And that's because we also,
we need enough time and energy
to provide support to those projects,
to help them develop and, you know,
have support them marketing-wise and so on.
So the program is more structured than before
and more limited in terms of the number of projects
that means about 12 to 16 projects per year,
Now, every quarter we'll be setting a topic
or a goal for the grant program
that, you know, will be preferred in a way.
And for this, for this first cohort of 2024,
the goal or the topic was set to privacy as a service.
And I think, was it, I think three out of four projects
that we selected are in that area.
And the idea of privacy and service, of course,
where some part of the application is running
outside of the secret network on EDM or some other,
or some other blockchains.
the confidential computing services on secret.
And that's actually exactly what's happening
with the projects that we're talking to today
with Paige Dow and GovDow,
who are actually using confidential,
in a way, confidential NFTs,
if I'm using the right term for Paige Dow
the main application running somewhere outside.
And GovDow will be using a secret
again, with the application,
with the main application running elsewhere.
And of course, the teams will tell more
about their ideas and their technology.
And we're super happy with this first cohort
because it met our goals.
I think we selected great teams
and we're committed to helping the teams
to develop and then promote their project.
So I feel it's a great start.
And we'll be doing, of course,
more of that, the next cohort
will probably start early March,
but we will be announcing that, of course,
separately, so stay tuned.
Yeah, so as we mentioned,
there were five teams that got selected
for a grant this quarter,
and three of them are here with us today.
Just wanted to mention that the other two
will be on next week's spaces.
They had a scheduling conflict,
but it also worked out because these three teams
are kind of working on things
that are closely related,
and they're actually all three going to be
using each other's technology in a way.
So let's dive into these projects
and see what exactly it is they're building.
We also have two more people on stage now,
one from the 50 Way project.
So I wanted to make sure they went ahead
and got their introduction in.
Reggie, do you wanna do that?
So yeah, I'm Reggie from 50 Way.
So we are kind of a collective of software developer.
And interesting story about us is that
we met each other during a hackathon for a crypto event.
I would say a great feeling on working each other.
I would say the secret network technology back there.
And yeah, wanted to contribute to this ecosystem.
So this is where we are today.
All right, well, let's get started
with these projects, deep dives.
Let's start with, I guess, let's start with Pagedow.
And Pagedow and 50 Way team,
since you two are working so closely together,
I'll kind of leave this to you,
how exactly you wanna handle this.
Like who should be speaking?
Do you want to present what you're working on separately?
Or do you wanna kind of present it as a singular project?
Well, I think that it makes some amount of sense
to present these as a singular project
because like I said, or like Alex said,
the privacy as a service integration
is kind of the thing that Pagedow is doing.
And that is the service that I believe 50 Way is building.
What do you think, 50 Way?
Yeah, we can do like that.
Maybe if you want, I can just give a brief overview
about what the SDK we want to create.
And then you can take the lead on the implementation
that you want to do with Pagedow,
if you're fine with that.
So yeah, for a grand proposal,
we want to propose a way for people
to store confidential information
by leveraging the secret network blockchain.
So basically, as we wanted also to use,
I mean, secret as a service is a new way of thinking,
I would say the data management.
Because right now, if you're using a classical VM chain,
you cannot store confidential information.
Is it on chain and anyone can have access?
you want to store confidential information,
okay, I'm on the VM chain,
I can send a request directly on the secret network chain
and store confidential information.
And so basically, we want to provide tools for that.
So an SDK that allowing anyone to store files directly
And we also want to, I would say,
keep the user interaction simple.
We don't want the user to, let's say have two wallets
and have a lot of interaction between different chain.
We want them to have a single interaction
like your MetaMask sign on the,
I would say, polygon chain.
And then everything will be,
everything behind the scene will do the interaction
So for a classical usage,
we can say, okay, I'm signing on the MetaMask.
And then I will send through Axlr, for example,
a message on the secret chain,
then doing a call to the contract.
And then if I want to retrieve the information,
I can directly do it with a query.
So without having to send again a message.
And so I think for the user perspectives,
we simplify the process for them
because they don't have to manage anything, only one wallet.
we want also to have the possibility to use our technology
and maybe can improve them
and also maybe have other specificity for that.
So yeah, but at the moment,
for storing confidential information.
And that could be a small or large file.
And I'm hoping that for Pagedow,
it would be a great use case.
Well, I certainly think it will.
We definitely intend to be storing books this way.
And just because I kind of skipped
on the Pagedow introduction earlier,
we started in 2020 working on a project
to put all of the books onto blockchains
because blockchains are decentralized,
So basically this privacy as a service technology
is gonna make this more possible.
It's gonna make it easier for us to put books up.
It's gonna make it possible for someone to own a book
with no one else knowing that they own that book.
And so for all the literature buffs that are out there,
being able to access your content in such a way
that everyone else can see everything you do is great
But there are certain use cases for literature
that that's not appropriate.
And so all of these are gonna be enabled
by this wonderful partnership
facilitated by Secret Network.
would you like to step up
and say just a little bit about the Pagedow tech
we're planning to build with the 50 way team?
Thank you, Secret Labs for opening this cohort.
We've been looking at Privacy First Platforms forever
and looking at how to integrate it into our system.
One of the stories I often tell is like,
how do I send my grandmother an eCard using blockchain?
And it's like really, really challenging.
And so the core of our platform
that we'll be developing over the next 12 weeks
is frictionless user authentication
using smart contract wallets on EVM.
So anyone can log in, they get an EVM wallet.
They don't need to, they can sign in with social.
And they are able to view and mint books
using privacy as a service on Secret.
So that creates a whole end-to-end flow.
We also plan on being a marketplace aggregator
we've closely observed the literary NFT space,
which is huge and burgeoning.
The amount of people minting on Solana,
Ethereum, Polygon, optimism,
minting literary works, small poems, little crafts,
even larger books like they do
on our prototype Read Me books,
which is on Polygon network now with live full books to read.
That technology is going to enable people
to have the full private library experience
with secret, basically sister contracts
representing the secure data behind the thing.
We're basically, we're going after Amazon.
Now that we certainly are.
We have identified that the Amazon CreateSpace acquisition
back in 2013 was one of the last times
that they really innovated
with their self-publishing technology stack.
And so we definitely want to enter that market
and create some challenges for them.
We also want to make this more open source
and give authors more control.
So that's kind of the page that project in a nutshell.
Awesome, thanks guys, that was a great summary.
All right, so I think that summarizes
the 50-way and page DAO projects.
Let's hear from GovDAO about what they're building.
Hey, good morning, everyone.
My name is Oliver, I'm a co-founder of Gov.DAO.
And I just want to kick off by saying thanks
for myself and the rest of the DAO members
for accepting us onto this grant program.
We're really excited to build privacy as a service,
as a tooling for our DAO technology.
Gov.DAO was founded back in December, 2021,
basically with a single mission to build better governance
by making a meaningful impact and contribution
to the DAO space and DAO technology.
And where we are a couple of years later
is that we have a solid MVP and that's ready to go.
And that's being built out really
for what we consider the foremost important use cases
for DAO technology, which is investment DAOs,
as everyone's familiar with,
trust DAOs and legacy planning DAOs,
team and operational DAOs,
and also charity and community DAOs.
We have our own vision for how we see governance
and DAOs working, and we're very much building that
into the technology that we are providing.
Privacy for governance is huge for DAOs, in our opinion.
And it's a really important function
that needs to exist because of course,
we all work on the basis that blockchain is amazing
in terms of transparency,
but when it comes to actual governance,
there are real reasons for needing privacy.
And we can go into that later,
but we really hope that this is one of the big parts
that we can play in making that meaningful impact
into the governance functions itself.
So you three are kind of working together
in a way as well, because you saw,
there might be a way that all three of you
could use each other's technology, basically.
I don't know who would be the best to speak to that,
or who kind of came up with that idea first,
but do one of you kind of want to explain
how you're working together?
I know you kind of already did for 50-way and page DAO,
but GovDAO also is interested in using this technology
We haven't heard from crypto-versal yet.
I think he might be a good person
to explain this a little bit if he's available,
Well, my understanding is,
and what I'm personally excited about
in terms of using privacy as a service with literature,
contracts are a form of literature,
and in governance, in legal work,
having a contract on the blockchain
especially if you could make it selectively private
And so combining these technologies,
having governance and publication and privacy all together,
will really work together to advance
the whole governance aspect of it.
My governance is just so core.
Okay, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to step on you.
I think there's a little bit of a lag.
Governance is just so core to being able to run something
where we have this goal to represent all the books
that exist on the blockchain,
and people need to be able to trust
that their assets will be dealt with fairly,
stored in a decentralized way,
and made available indefinitely,
so that there isn't this need
to have the internet archive come in
or Amazon come in and sell the rights to the book
to some new publisher and they change the text,
or whatever's happening that's making people unhappy
We can kind of deal with all of this by saying,
you can see how various different protocols have been passed,
you can see how those interact with the assets that exist,
and you can actually see sort of how the community
is able to relate back to those
and basically share them,
and build social reputation around the ones that are good,
so it's less of kind of this penalty system
Sorry about that, screw it, go ahead.
Yeah, cool, actually I was thinking,
contracts are a form of literature,
but also a lot of DAOs and a lot of projects
have a lot of discussion around the tokenomics
and the white papers as well,
so potentially that could be a nice little partnership
if you guys are building this feature
where you can publish tokenomics plans privately,
then potentially DAOs in our ecosystem could use that
and could vote on the tokenomics plan that they want
and then reveal it to the public whenever they choose.
Yeah, I think to that point,
there's a lot of ways that these technologies
could kind of be integrated and work together,
and that's really the idea of this grants program,
is that all of these are gonna be open source technologies,
the code base is gonna be usable
by anyone who wants to develop on secret,
and these things can become building blocks
in hundreds of applications in the future.
It just opens the door to a lot of new things,
and we have Alex and Hice up here
who might be able to speak to that a little bit more
about how they envision these primitives,
you could call them privacy as a service primitives maybe,
it's just building blocks that can become something bigger.
Yeah, that's indeed one of the goals, right?
So one goal is actually building really great
and usable apps on secret networks or using
the confidential computing or secret network,
but it's also creating stepping stones
for further projects that would wanna use
the same kind of technology.
So after a paged out project complete successfully,
if somebody else wants to create something similar for music
or video or images or whatever,
they will just be able to take this open source code
and use it, and I think that's awesome, right?
Because that's how you build the ecosystem,
that's how you build the developer power
and same for confidential voting and same for other stuff.
Now, we want to make sure that the projects don't feel
that they're giving away their IP
in case some of them want to keep some of the code closed,
but in every case we discuss it,
and in most cases, and we wanna keep it that way,
we agree that all the code will be open for everyone
and definitely that specific code that can be reused.
So again, this is, of course, one of the goals
is building out the sets of building blocks or primitives
for the next projects and make it much, much easier
to develop, because really what we need in secret
is something that exists, say, on Ethereum,
through Open Zeppelin and others,
like there is a rich, rich set of different contracts
that you can just come, take,
and either use as is or modify a little bit,
but I think this initial,
something that is ready is super important for developers.
There is a huge difference between just a need
to write something from scratch
and having some basic scaffolding or basic framework
that you can use and then you can easily modify,
and that's what we are doing both on our side,
developing the Ethereum SDK and on the grand side
where we help projects build this out for themselves,
but also for everyone else.
So yeah, so we're trying to kill the birds,
so to speak, with this program.
So let's talk about the timeline here.
We have all these projects they've started building
over the next several weeks.
We'll be putting out updates for sure.
Does anybody wanna speak to kind of like
where they're at with their project at this moment?
I know it's pretty early days,
but maybe there's something you can share
about what you're working on right now.
I think I see Robbie's hand up.
Yeah, so we're really, really excited.
We have our first experimental new front end
for our application, which will allow someone to log in
using any number of wallets on multiple chains
and create an author profile.
It's like a bare bones minimum,
but what this author profile does is it allows us
to attest to the ownership of a contract
that an author has created on any chain.
This is a huge use case for creators on multiple blockchains
where there is no central or authoritative source of identity.
And so a lot of what our platform is going to do
And underneath that is a secure CMS that we're building
that'll allow people to build and create groups.
This is a lot related to the DAO structure.
So it's very easy to publish in NFT as an individual,
pretty much on any chain.
It is very difficult to publish something as a group
and have that attestation be understood correctly.
And usually it ends up being one person from the project
goes and deploys with their wallet because it's just easier.
There's more tooling for individuals
than there are for collectives.
And what we're seeing is a migration
towards the DAO centric space,
or even like mini DAOs or like instantaneous DAOs
that may be project oriented.
A group of poets will get together, form a team,
and that team will publish a thing together.
And that team will have ownership
and collect royalties as a team,
which essentially makes them a mini DAO.
So we're working on some of these core UI components
and core database components
to be able to store this information
so that we can represent it accurately on chain
and possibly using the tooling provided by other teams.
And so we're excited to have the first part,
get our authors on and get them creating assets
with the basic functionality within the first couple of weeks
and with more functionality to come
as we progress toward the end of the cycle.
Folks, I just wanna add to that,
that the assets that we're gonna be supporting
are gonna be IRL and NFTs on kind of any chain.
So the idea is that we're using secret network
to build a cross chain app
for sort of all the literature, starting with books,
but we'll be doing blogs and things later on.
And those things can be minted with Alexandria Labs,
they could be minted with SoulType
or kind of any provider, including us,
where we're gonna also provide that.
But content is getting portable
and that's gonna make it a lot better
to be a content creator from our side here at PageDell.
what are you guys working on right now?
Yeah, so right now we're actually just partnering up
with a development team that's already building
a secret network to get our integrations done
We're hoping to have a new front-end and MVP
out within the next month as well,
so people will be able to demo it.
Just before Christmas, we signed a partnership with FINA.
So FINA is a team that's built on secret network,
it's a wallet, and they're also launching
a Visa debit card as well.
So people will be able to get that
and they'll be able to top up with Snip tokens
and go and spend those in any store
in the real world that they want to.
So that's an incredibly powerful tool,
we feel, for Dows as well,
who often kind of struggle to get bank accounts
and this kind of normal business operations kind of things.
So yeah, super excited about that.
We're gonna be looking within the secret network ecosystem
for more potential partners that have features
that'll be useful for our product as well.
And yeah, just wanna put an open call out there
to any Dowers that are building in the ecosystem
that wanna help us to test the product,
then please get in touch with me,
you can reach me here on Twitter or on Telegram.
And yeah, we'll let you jump in and get testing with us.
Maybe there'll be some incentive later down the line,
but we haven't really signed that one out yet.
Awesome, all right, well,
we have a couple of hands raised in the audience already.
So let's go ahead and open up the floor here
for questions from the audience.
If anybody would like to learn more about these projects
and what they're building.
I'm gonna go ahead and bring one on stage now.
All right, Rhianna, I think you can speak now.
I just wanted to jump in and say
that I'm part of the page now
and I work with Cryptoversel and T. Dylan Daniel
and Indiputigable and I'm community lead.
And I just wanted to say how excited we are to be here
and thank you all for this opportunity.
And we are so looking forward to illuminating
and sharing all the things that we are doing.
It's very exciting at the page now
and we have a great team that is putting forward
lots of publicity and lots of marketing.
And so we are going to be so ready
to welcome writers and authors and creators
from everywhere, not only Web3 space,
but everywhere, like earlier we said, we're taking on Amazon
and we are going to be a beautiful place
for people to come to honor authors.
We really appreciate this.
So you're actually a member of the page now already.
Yes, I've been a member of the page now.
Oh gosh, several years, couple of years.
Yeah, so that's, I'm not sure if we emphasized that
but page now is a project that's already been around
and they've been building on EVM chains for a while.
So this is really just an extension of their product
and that's exactly what the idea of privacy as a service is,
is that secret can provide new functionality
to existing projects on EVM chains.
And maybe that's something that we can talk about
Anybody who wants to take it,
just the idea of you guys are building projects
And then you're also getting some functionality
as a secret out of secret.
What does that mean to you?
Like, how is it important to you
that you're able to build on an EVM chain
and make use of that user base?
I think that's something that a lot of projects
within the Cosmos ecosystem
and I guess web three in general right now
is really realizing how important it is
for multi-chain communication to be possibly interoperability.
Web three has always been about interoperability
but we're getting to the point where even projects
on Ethereum are able to communicate with projects on Cosmos.
It's becoming easier every day
and we're becoming silos are being torn down
and walls are being torn down
and it's really just becoming one unified web three
where everything can interoperate.
So whoever wants to take that,
I know that's kind of just like a open-ended question,
just whatever your thoughts are on that.
Yeah, if I could take the first response to that
because I think it's really, really important
that we have this possibility for having secret
as offering various services, privacy as a service.
And the reason being is that,
I think cross-chain is important.
I think we all want to tap into the various communities
and I think we've lived for many years
as sovereign states on different blockchains essentially,
but I don't think that's the future.
And I think it's becoming more and more apparent,
apparently, especially for particular services,
that there is a requirement for certain things
And I think definitely when it comes to things like
operations of DAOs and potentially the context
of what those DAOs are doing, privacy is needed.
I mean, just for example, we offer advisory services
and legal and regulatory advisory services,
which require confidentiality and legal privilege.
So if we're communicating or we're accepting client funds
then these are also the things that need to be private.
So there is a real need for privacy as a service
and the fact that it can connect to UVM is even better.
Yeah, I'll jump in on that too.
I mean, it's basically been the holy grail.
I think what everyone has been pushing toward,
there's kind of a parallel to blockchains as independent
that has like, it's new territory, new chain pops up.
This one goes to the moon.
All other chains fade into ignominy.
And the reality is this interdependent system
where in some cases, communities like on Tezos, for example,
there's like this huge artist community
that have been minting for one Tez a piece
They even survived the folding of the largest marketplace
on that ecosystem and spun up a clone, right?
So like the user base is there
and there's no reason why an asset there
couldn't be bought and utilized or shared lent even
to someone on any other chain.
And what we're seeing is that we're heading closer
to a sort of web two user experience,
which is kind of making sure that people understand
the basic units of crypto,
but that our target audience is everyone who reads
for Paige Dow and for Gov Dow,
it's everyone who wants to conduct business
using the most state of the art business entity structures.
And so I think we'll see this big merger continue.
It is the future and privacy is kind of at the heart of it.
I'll jump in too and just say we launched our prototype,
Read Me Books on Christmas day, 2021.
And so ever since we've been getting feedback,
we've been on Twitter spaces,
we've talked to authors, who are members of the Dow,
who aren't members of the Dow all over the place
and what every single one of them wants
because Read Me Books assets are just completely public.
So they're great for backing up legal documents.
They're great for essays.
It is a use case and it is a good use case.
But what authors want is the ability to make it
so that you have to own the asset to read the material.
And so we're gonna build that.
And yeah, maybe also to give a few words
to support I would say privacy as a services.
I just saw the future of blockchain
to be kind of different ecosystem
for different functionalities
because basically you can have a blockchain
dedicated to one use case.
And why not instead of integrating your solution
why not just leverage the blockchain functionalities
and use it for your product?
And I think that this is a good direction
especially with privacy as a services,
where instead of just copy paste,
I mean your application and put it on secret network,
just use privacy as a services for your own use case
and leverage the technology.
And yeah, I think that for the future of blockchain,
this is a new way of thinking the interaction
between different blockchain
and the way of leveraging technologies.
I think yeah, the confidential computing
And we don't need all the world's applications
to necessarily come and deploy on secret.
This won't happen, right?
And we actually want to give what we do best everywhere,
be it Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, anything.
And we're getting there, right?
And this way we will become an indispensable part
of the blockchain architecture.
So every blockchain out there and a lot of different apps,
not all of them, but a lot of different apps
will have to use us, right?
In order to get those very cool features.
And as we go and as we progress,
confidential features will become a must.
And certain kind of apps will just not work
or will be expected to have confidentiality
and they will have to find the solution
that will become, eventually they will become
kind of a de facto standard.
And that's, I think, where we should all strive to go.
And by supporting the projects on secret,
we want to provide use cases to the world to see,
So you could really sell books on blockchain
and have the content on chain,
but have it gated only to the owner.
Oh, wow, you could do confidential voting.
That's amazing, it's simple to do.
And I hold that in three years from now,
every DAO out there will have a confidential voting feature
because it just makes sense, right?
Because every parliament in the world has,
some votes are open, but some are confidential.
So why shouldn't DAOs have the same capability?
So yeah, modular architecture of the blockchain world,
we don't need 10 or a hundred or a thousand blockchains
doing exactly the same thing
and competing and fragmenting liquidity
and users and everything, right?
We actually want technologies or projects to specialize
on some specific infrastructure thing,
And by the way, secret doesn't have to be the only one,
but there needs to be this category
of confidential computing providers
and people who work with confidential computing providers,
and that will be the reality.
Modular, specialized, and as a result,
excellent in what they're doing.
So very excited about the future.
Yeah, it's good to see the user experience
and developer expertise getting easier as well
to build confidential computing to products.
I remember when I first found secret a few years ago,
it was through some research
to try and automate a supply chain job that I was at.
And back then, secret wasn't ready for that kind of work,
but now it seems like it's just getting easier and easier
and these barriers to adoption are coming down
for a lot of businesses to start on board into web free.
Not just in the privacy face as well,
it's things like there's lots of projects building
web free, I-VAD numbers into their products now.
So a business wouldn't have to retrain
their entire accountant department
just to start using crypto.
Yeah, it seems like a lot of these walls
and obviously confidential information
is a necessity for a competitive business.
So very excited to be at the frontier
of the privacy as a service and secret network.
Thanks guys, we're excited to have you here
So we've kicked off the Q1 grants program.
We have these projects building
over the next month or two,
we'll be putting out plenty of updates
I think probably you can also follow
all of their respective project accounts
if you wanna learn a little bit more
than what even the secret network account are sharing.
We'll definitely be putting out updates
on the secret network Twitter as well,
but make sure you follow all these projects,
stay up to date, get involved with their communities
and thanks for being here today, everybody.
Before we wrap things up,
some opportunities for developers.
If there's anybody out there
wanting to build a privacy as a service,
just like these grant projects,
we do have the grants program Q2 cohort,
which will be opening up sometime in March,
I believe probably about mid March
is when we'll officially start taking applications.
However, it's not too early to go ahead
and start reading up on the documentation,
and even submitting an early grant proposal
on the secret labs GitHub.
For more information on that,
just check out the secret network website,
go to the blog, there's a blog about the grants program,
all of the important information is in there,
but it's definitely not too early
and start planning your project
and we're happy to start discussing it with you as well,
just give you some early insight
and ideas on what you're building.
and also we have the hack secret hackathon,
which is gonna be kicking off on Thursday,
February 1st is the official beginning
and if you've not already signed up,
definitely check that out, make sure you sign up.
I believe you can sign up at any point during the hackathon
but obviously getting in early
will give you more time to work on your project.
So if you're interested in that,
also go to the secret network website,
there's also tweets going out constantly
and it should be pretty easy to find
but like I'll go ahead and pin that announcement here
just to make it even easier for people to find.
So that'll be starting on Thursday
and we'll be doing a presentation on Discord
Be happy to have anybody who's interested
and there's also a $15,000 prize pool
that goes along with that.
So that's what's happening this week on secret.
Does anybody have any closing remarks
or anything else that they didn't get to say already
before we wrap things up?
I'd say LFG, let's build this and let's rock
and I'm sure it will be a huge success
and from the left side, any support that's needed,
we are here to make you successful
So that's my wrapping remark.
I'd like to say thanks again to secret labs
and secret network foundation
and all the rest of the team
for believing in us and have team and our product
and I'd also like to say good luck
to anyone that's participating in hack secret
over the next couple of weeks
so that's gonna be fantastic
to see some new products being built as well.
Yeah, I would like to thank you so much
to the secret foundation and secret network
for making all of this possible, secret labs.
You guys rock, this technology is amazing.
We cannot wait to put it into use in the field
and get some applications going here.
Awesome, well, we're looking forward
to seeing what you guys build.
It's gonna be an exciting month
and next week we're also gonna be featuring
two more grant recipients,
the other two that weren't included on this one.
So make sure you tune in next week,
same time, Tuesday, 5 p.m. UTC.
We'll be talking to Reclaim
and let's see what's the other one.
I'm liking all of the other ones.
That's it, yes, the casino.
That's gonna be a cool one too.
Building a privacy-preserving casino on secret network.
So definitely don't miss that.
It'll be an exciting conversation, I'm sure.
But thanks for being here, everybody.
Tune in next week and until then, have a good one.
