SKALE Network x @ForLootAndGlory GAME NIGHT 🏴☠️
Recorded: April 2, 2025 Duration: 1:55:11Space Recording
Short Summary
The discussion highlights innovations in blockchain gaming with fully decentralized games and gas-free operations, the launch of interactive gaming events, and technical advancements such as integrated DEXs and marketplaces. The network's unique approach to validator incentives and orchestration by Ethereum smart contracts further underscores its innovative edge.
Full Transcription
And it was hard to build because we make a fully unchained game.
So the goal is to only have a front end and a smart contract.
So actually, it works.
We don't have any back end, any server, anything like that.
So the game is fully, fully decentralized.
fully, fully decentralized.
Yeah.
Yeah. And Puke!
And Puke!
does
Volute and Glory
manage to have a
fully on-chain game?
Only on scale, bro.
There we go. Only on scale.
Only on scale. Gas-free.
No transaction fees.
RNG-free.
Yeah, I never liked that.
Do you remember Energy back in like 2021?
Like that was so like, it was so bad
how you were just always limited to like
the number of like actions you could take
or the like number of battles you could do.
I'm really glad that's not a thing anymore
because it was genuinely awful.
Those energies keep you up all night, right?
I remember setting up alarms
just so when the energy...
Yes.
I'm ready to row again.
But no more, those kind of stuff.
And I just want to mention,
dude, I i loving it already
because someone said hey you know i'm in bangkok too i didn't i decided not to evacuate so uh bro
just send you a dm dm me let's let's hang uh let's hang in bangkok as well well here on scale discord
making friends with people hey that's all that matters man we're here for one thing and one thing only and that is
to make friends we like friends don't we 100 but besides friend you know what we like games and you
us the best playing games with friends bro so that's why we are here uh qore is back guys um everyone who has
been tuning what is the collaboration between me and felcore guys the terrifying creation
of puke core is back we apologize um but no let's let's start off um let's let's look at kicking things off in a in a moment we've
probably got like um just wait obviously waiting for for for more people to jump in the stream is
now live as well which is great so if you're joining us on x you can uh jump into the Discord and who knows, you might be able to get yourself some rewards
for playing some video games with myself, Drix, and Mr. Puke.
So yeah, if you aren't already in,
jump in to discord.gg.
We have Mr. Andrew Saunders in here saying gmlb who's lb gmlb
oh lord buxton that's who it is meow meow no idea why he's saying meow meow um great so um before
we like kick off into the game i think it might be good for um people to kind of get like a little bit of an understanding, Drix,
as to like why for Loot and Glory? Like what was the reason as to why you guys decided to,
make this game?
Four years ago, when we started to build the game, our community was a guild, Web3 game guild.
And we started to understand that all the games we tried were completely broken on the economic part.
Full of inflation, short term. short-term. A developer not build at this time game for a long-term purpose.
It was only a short-term and to grab the maximum of money they can.
So we start to think about build our own game with our player and our guild community and so we focus on the decentralized uh part and the
economic loop in priority to show how to build a real economic loop in webtroy game because you
can't just take web2 game and bring it to blockchain with real asset value it doesn't work like this yeah agreed agreed um it's it's
interesting because you know i think like puke you and me have have been around for a while seeing
all of these you know quick web 3 games appear and disappear after two months. And, you know, like, we've seen it all pretty much.
What's been, like, your biggest kind of gripe with, like,
Web3 gaming on that economy model side?
Can you repeat?
To be fair, that question was to puke,
but I don't think he was listening to me.
I was busy tweeting, bro.
I was busy tweeting, pushing it out there,
getting the community to join.
But what was the question, bro?
The question was,
what has been your biggest issue um issue with with like the uh
economy on web3 gaming
bro the number one issue is project promising way too much than what they can deliver i think like
this is number one right like you see project that first of all the quality is not there and then the next big thing that they do
is just to push out you know so much of incentivization right you know attract the
wrong crowd and you know that for a fact once TGE happen is just gonna go on to shit but I think
like you know project can't be out there promising like heaven and earth like you know just wild
stuff but do like grassroots stuff like you know just wild stuff
But do like grassroots stuff right, you know getting people the first hundred players the first 200 players to play it
To check it out to have fun and then later on, you know slowly scaling things
So I feel like this year projects that has been building so far
Have been taken that approach as well. So I think it's it's great man
So far we see like the fake
projects are weeding out a little bit and the serious viewers are the people that's building
games building on skills being here i think that's what matters man yeah i agree i think it's been
nice like especially since like 20 you know kind of like going into like 22, we have definitely seen people like projects and games
really stop trying to rush things out
and actually take the time to build something
that has the potential of lasting,
which has been really, really nice to see.
Like, you know, as Web3 gamers across the board,
we've been able to see these people, you know,
actually, you know, these projects actually build for the to see these people you know actually you know these projects
actually build for the long term and and you know not not not the short term trying to
jump on the narrative um which has been incredibly nice to see um so before we uh what i'm gonna do
now is let's um let's let's load up the the the the flag website eh
let me give you the link yeah why don't you drop the link in the chat for the people to see
for the people to be yes and we can we can rock and roll i I can. Your bot blocked me for doing it.
That's a great.
Yeah, that's unsurprising.
I have this server very locked down very hard.
Although I think Puke can do links.
But yeah, let me.
I send you on Telegram.
Everybody is posting out there
Everybody is putting out on the chat, I think it's fine
Oh yeah, yeah, I think it's like as long as you don't do
The HTTPS part, then it's
Like, then it's okay
You know what's the best thing? The best thing is like
You don't even need to have the
Main founder to post the link, everybody
Knows it
That's when you know you've made it
yeah 100 it's like you don't you yourself don't need a poster you got other people out here that
uh they got the links some top of mind um no great great okay um already so let's this is gonna break for a small second um because uh you know obs doesn't like me
and i really feel like i should stop using obs i shouldn't but you know i feel like
obs is great man it is it is it's just it's not great when you have to build scenes on the go.
Okay, okay. There we go. Hey look, it's all pretty and stuff. And you guys can't see but the stream can see.
It's all pretty. I made it like all nice and pretty. Let's go. Yo shoutout Chunchypt.
Out here making graphic design work for me in like three seconds.
But let's yeah
Bro, bro, bro, I'm looking at the livestream on X. Dude, it looks pretty man. Yeah, right?
Yo, this is good stuff. Be careful, swearing.
Awesome. Let's jump in. one of the things that i really like
about following glory right is i i love the the baby characters are so like they're just like the
like the miniature they're just so cute i think they're they're really really cool um although i
do feel like um i do feel like he would really just steal everything i own um i can't lie um but let me
let me go through the let me go through the landing page here um just so everyone kind of
knows like what it is about what is for loot and glory and you know uh what is the you know purpose
of the game so you know we've there's three different modes you got got the PvP mode, the PvE mode, the PvP mode, and then the end game.
Your PvP mode, you're looking at leveling up, crafting powerful gear,
upgrading your tavern to produce more barrels,
unlocking advanced levels and gold coins for the end game progress,
and then going on treasure hunts to collect coins and experience.
Now, I don't know about you guys, but bro, when I was younger and even now, bro,
I'll take a metal detector out into my garden.
I love me some treasure hunts.
Dude, like, yo, Easter egg hunts back in the day, man.
They were like, dude, that stuff was so fun.
It's great.
And then we got the PVP mode, you know,
building and upgrading your fleet, not feet,
commanding strategic naval battles across the seas,
embarking on odysseys with your skilled crew
and completing missions and claiming rewards.
Do you think, Drix, do you think we'll get to a point where we're
like doing like uh 1v1 pvp battles
no actually it's uh you start a like a travel you start a travel you go with your ship on the sea and on the sea
you have some other chip of other player and you have some rule like some wolf for attacking other
player like when you start the pvp you have like 24 hours where you can be attacked by other
player it's like a shield when you start and you have some mission point to use
those mission point can give you some bonus on your chip and when your chip is
ready you can fight to other chip on the sea.
And when you win, you have like a theory on your chip.
Like bonus start to low progressively on each attack.
And you win some other mission point to grow up your bonus. And you have to start to think what is the right target
to attack and make a strategy about when to attack,
what kind of ship to attack, et cetera.
No, great, great.
And if you guys aren't signed up right now,
you can head over to this link here.

Like, oh, wait, it might not show.
Oh, it might not show up on.
Okay.
So, okay.
I just realized I'm not showing my screen on Discord.
So that's let's fix that.

So yeah, it's a pop-up.
Let's, yeah, I'm not crazy.
Okay.
Oh, good golly gosh, everything's breaking.

Time to kick some ass. Yes, sir
So I'm excited already. Time to kick some ass. Yes, sir. So I'm just...
Because I...
Sorry, I just have to change something around
due to the fact we changed a little thing.
Vamp for me, puke!
Entertain the people while I fix something. it got it got it uh no worries bro
dricks i gotta ask where where the whole idea uh of creating the game comes from man
like when do you draw inspiration when you build out your products um It's really hard to say. I love all the forms idea on some topic, like on economic part.
I like the, how to say, I don't have the English term for this, but I don't know if you know, guys, it's like Attrishian school of monetary system.
And I like to use those
Idea to build economic model. So I try to
Integrate those things in the game and pirate is because I love freedom and all
The thematic of pirate is freedom and so it was a really good
Time to use for game.
For sure, I think like all boys, whether you like it, no matter how big or how small you are, you would definitely like, you know, some pirate in you.
I feel like everybody here loves Captain Jack Sparrow, so this is a good narrative for sure.
But yeah, check in in with Felcom.
What did you say? Sorry?
I said One Piece.
One Piece.
Oh, yeah.
One Piece.
I'm sorry, guys, but Puke here decided to quit halfway.
So do not hate on me.
I have only watched till Big Mom.
So, yeah. I have not. But dude, the chat is going crazy like this guy kraken is like the brothel was the idea we have many ghosts
available like bro calm down calm down i'm not falco i can't do the crazy voice over but yeah
man i think draw inspiration from one piece. That is a good good narrative.
I don't know why, I feel like all DJs here deep down, we have or we love to watch anime. Is that right bro?
Yes.
Yeah, Falco is like...
Anime was never really my thing, I'll be really honest.
No way.
Yeah, I don't know.
I can appreciate it for an art form, but the actual thing itself just really wasn't. Chat, chat.
Thumbs up or thumbs down for Falcor?
Because he said he doesn't like anime.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
Stop turning my people against me.
Stop being mean. Stop turning my people against me something mean stop turning my people against me man
all right all right let's let's kick let's kick things off into uh did a sit down all righty all
right so let's make sure we are good so what am i doing we're uh claiming our wreath and setting up our low so let's set up our local wallet here so this is a tool we can only make on scale network uh it's allow us to
make a local wallet in your browser and you can delegate the like the transaction to this local wallet.
So when it's done, you didn't have
to fill each pop-up of your MetaMask.
You only have to perform approval, transfer,
but all other game interaction didn't need pop-up anymore.
It's more confrontable. Nice.
So I guess I gotta claim
my wreath
and I'm
gonna assume I
gotta claim
my USDC
as well. Fake USDC!
Is it real?
No, it's not.
Alrighty.
Oh, we're minting my
justice.
Okay. So you can
click on the next.
Yes, local wallet. I think it's
okay.
Next one, it's
to buy a building. So you will start your room production oh really so
the second one the second one you can mint your tavern so claim a tavern
hey yo wait i can get a brothel yo no one tell my wife yes

Gonna get a message from that big man going, yo, why are you talking about brothels?

bottling or barreling yes uh you can convert your barrels to bottle. Yeah. It's one for 100.
And the bottle will be used for fill your character energy.
Oh, awesome.
We call it the boozy energy point.
Oh, the boozy energy.
Yo, Puke knows about that.
Can you send me your testnet wallet on Telegram?
So I will send you some assets so you can speed up.
Sure, yeah.
Let me remember how to get to local wallet.

Dude, I am claiming the brothel, bro. Awesome. Yo, Puke, where you at? You got your tavern up and running?
Dude, I am claiming the brothel, bro.
Oh, yo, my guy going straight to the brothel.
That's crazy.
That's it. Straight up.
and if anyone's got any questions about
full loot and glory, drop them in the chat.
Make sure you yourselves
are jumping in to the
game. Show us where you are.
Have you got past the tavern?
Are you at the brothel?
Are you at the brothel with puke?
I have a quick question, Drix.
So like when you go to Mint,
is that like the brothel, the tavern, the fork,
do you like claim everything?
You can claim everything if you want to try each picture of each building but on the mainnet
the building will be sell. Currently you can buy each building on the landing page. And it's a limited supply, so only a few people will be able to own a building.
And other players need to come out with these people to craft,
to go to the browser, to craft a ship, gear, etc.
Okay, and to see all your assets, it's gonna be on the bottom town, under the town tab, right?
Yes, for the building it's on the town, and for other assets you have your Econ wallet on the bottom right.
Alright, Pyuk is ready. your icon wallet on the bottom right. All right.
Puke is ready.
Puke is puking.
My shipyard town.
Yeah, I'm on my shipyard.
And stuff.
Damn.
OK, I need to enable. I feel like the enable buttons up here but i've got a mint usdc transaction
in the way oh yeah yeah um okay so i think if you make a refresh file core you will have your asset
minted okay check on the little wallet on the bottom right just to see if
it's good um oh it's disabled no come back oh is it because i have no s fuel do i need more s fuel um
Oh you have some S-fuel, strange.
Oh yeah.
Is it possible the RPC failed to load?
Refresh. Re-re-refresh.
Oh, now I've definitely got zero.
I need more S-fuel.
Yo, where's Soya?ya give me some air fuel man
Although
A lot of it's kind of
Let me check I'm checking I gave my wallet away and now my account died yo maybe i really am
being hacked tell me tell me puke how is how is your brothel coming along i okay i i need to check. If you click many times,
does the brothel come out a lot?
Because now when I'm at the brothel,
I think I click claim many times.
And on my brothel, it shows like 104, 05, 07, 09.
So you can claim multiple brothels?
Or how does that work?
On the testnet, you can claim as much as you want.
Oh, it's OK.
I see your asset.
I'm back.
Yes.
So now you can go to your town, Tavern, and convert your barrels.
A little trick, click on the wallet on the button right.
Yes.
And you can add your asset on favorite,
like on the little star, for example.
On the barrel, click on the little star.
There we go, yeah.
It's up here. Yeah, here.
Oh, no, awesome um so am i claiming my
am i claiming or am i leveling up what am i doing um level up bro level up come on try to
try to bottling your current barrel stack so on the top right here how many do we want to do
So on the top right here.
How many do we want to do?
10,000.
Oh, Jesus.
Okay, I'm not going to keep on clicking then.
It'll be every while.
All right.
Tell me more about bottling.
Like, what does it do for bottling?
It converts the barrel, one for 100, to a 100 to a bottle of rum.
So now you will see your bottle on your wallet.
Ah, DD production. 10,000.
Ah man!
Okay. I get what you mean.
And now let's go to the mint where you get the tavern.
And you have another tab called airdrop and claim a recruiter.
On the mainnet it's NFT collectible and it's the only way to have the character.
All characters can be mint using the Recruiter.
You have a timer, you can claim your tickets for your character each three months depending
on the supply you have.
And the compass is to save your character for be burned in legendary mode
i will show you soon yeah you can you can have your asset burn like if you lose on pve and in pvp
and i think the other thing that's really cool you know is like you know to kind of we you know
we got the trans like transaction log up here and we can continue to you know see that this is you know a fully fully
on chain game yes but if you clear your cache you you lose all the data because we don't have any
back and it's gone no proof i did anything wrong yeah we do We do this because like this, the front end can be hosted in EPFS, for example.
And in the second time, we will build another front end, more centralized, but with more flexibility, more weeks.
But before, we want to really have this front end decentralized where people can only
always access to the game yeah okay so here you are you can use your ticket you have claim
to craft a character to generate a character you have one of each oh cool
give me my parents yeah we should be done yeah it'd be cool if we could name them
uh no you can't
some some strange name we can revert oh true true yeah all right let's uh i need to do some uh transactional approval at some point yeah for the approval you need to use your wallet for security
look at what it don't work for approval yeah yeah yeah just uh i'm really happy i didn't uh
there's a book there's a question mark man you can reveal the stat of your character
yo you got 100 board in yo my guy
oh something broke wow this guy's mid.
Like, definition of mid.
I feel like I missed one.
The smuggler, I think.
Yeah, let's try the smuggler again.
Driggs, can you let me know or tell me a little bit about these three different characters?
Drix, can you let me know or tell me a little bit about these three different characters?
Okay, so in the PvP part, we don't care of the characters, they are all the same.
We only use on the PvE the total statistic, but when you reach the PvP part, so player versus player,
The PvP part, so player versus player,
there each character will play a role.
The pirate plays the attacker,
the Corsair is more for the defense,
and the Smuggler is for escape.
So you can use different strategies depending
on the type of chip you have
and the type of captain you put
in the chip.
Okay.
Got it.
PvP and PvE sounds good.
Yeah, definitely.
I'm not too sure if I'm ready for PvP yet
because Felcore is here, but let's do
some PvE first yeah let's use it
you can click on the on the way i'm just trying to play it safe you guys know and you have the
first one and this is the the tab for the treasure he hunt so each hunt will cause some BEP, some energy. You can refill your energy burning some bottle of rum,
like using the drink.
And you can launch some hunt
and you see your probability win rate.
You can select all three at the same
and launch the hunt.
Hunt! I'm off! I'm off i'm off yo yo i'm gonna let me win real quick
let me come in let me come in and get to get a dub a wdw dub dub okay so yeah i lost nine six
6 and 9.
Yes.
25 win rate, it's not so much.
So you lost
so many.
So you earn
some coin, and the coin
you earn on the first
one of the PVE is
coin copper. The coin copper
will be needed
to use the forge so you can
now take a forge
just get my guys
ready for the next hunt
to the forge
where is the forge town?
on the mint.
You can use, yes.
You can go to craft gear.
And here you see all other player forged.
And each blacksmith have his own experience.
So the quality of the gear will depend of the experience.
And to grow the experience, people need to use the building.
Try to craft a common gear first.
Because you can craft all others, but common is for level 0 to 30.
Ra is for level 30 to 70 and legendary 70 to 100.
Hmm. Intriguing. Let me keep going on this.
Oh, transaction approval.
Oh, transaction approval.
So you see you have to burn the coin.
So 10,000 copper coin.
Pay a fee of RETH will go in the chest.
And you can see the chest at the left, a button left of the screen.
I see E0 didn't load.
I think you have 5,000 in the chest on testnet.
Oh, so did I put too much?
And you have the premium.
So the last one is a flag token.
It's our token. And the owner of the forge can ask for a premium to pay to use his building.
And he wins 90% of the flag.
It's for him.
And 10% will go in the reserve reward for the stacker.
Okay, okay. Interesting. will go in the reserve reward for the stacker okay okay um interesting oh uh interesting uh
puke can you give me like could you uh uh go for me i've just quickly got to get my door
hi there sorry your Your mic is off.
Okay, yeah, no worries bro.
Like, after you do recruitment, you have like three characters, right?
Is it automated or you need to, you know, kind of like send them to start the PvP or PvE kind of stuff?
Like, where do you go for that?
Headquarter?
When you claim the recruiter, when you see a ticket character on your wallet
you have to unroll to generate the character so you burn the ticket you get the character
and when you have your character you can go directly on the treasury hunt but you can go
actually on the pvp because pvP need a 100 level character.
Okay.
So under headquarters, right?
Yes.
So headquarters, is it fleet or crew?
Crew.
And you will see
N-world crew.
Yeah, I see all my
crews and gears.
So how do I add more gears, bro?
You need to hunt first to farm some coin copper.
Okay.
You need to grind as much as you can coin copper with your character.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And okay, so we have the characters, we have the town basically, the shipyards, the forge, the brothel, the taverns.
Like, where do you recommend people upgrading to be faster in the game?
Is it focused on tavern?
Tavern is a really good asset actually to have because in the mainnet, I can say that
we burn an enormous amount of tokens, of barrels to grow our character.
So people with a lot of Tavern have actually a big advantage
because they are autonomous with their home production.
So you can ask on the chat on Discord
to our player what they think about it
because they already play the PvE in mainnet.
I see, Excalibur for example.
Alright, got it. And so we cover a little bit about the mint, we cover about the town,
we cover about headquarters. So how do you go from PvE to PvP? So first the hard way is to get a character level 100 and you need this character to be
fully equipped with legendary gear so it can take time.
You can send me your wallet and I can give you some testnet asset if you want to speedrun the
testnet uh well i went to pve basically and i minted like six characters um so total hunt i did 30
eight victories 22 defeat but well still earn 800 coin earns so not not too bad, bro. Not too bad.
Try to go to the browser and try to get a browser boost.
Actually, the pirate needs some fun to perform during your PvE.
Yes, that is 100%
okay
for the hunt
when you go
do you just spam
and keep on hunting
or what's the way
does it have automated hunting
tell me more
automated hunting
is not really good because you have to think how to grow your character.
Because the way you grow your character will lead to make profit.
Like if you spam, you burn barrels, but you didn't think of your win rate, how to boost my win rate, how to use the tool of the game, like the forge,
to have a gear, the browser to have a boost.
And the browser gives you a boost in statistics,
so up the win rate, and a double XP boost.
During a small period of time. You have like five tries in the hunt
where you are on the boost of the browser.
And so when you know that,
you know if you use the browser and the forge,
you have a big gear on command,
and you have a big bonus, you have a big win on command and you have a big bonus, you have a big win rate.
If you have a big win rate, you spend less room and you win more level and coin and you can craft more.
So you need to think how to manage your resource to grow your character in the more profitable way.
This is the core concept of the game.
Yeah, I'm loving it already. You gotta really think hard on what kind of strategy you want to play.
One quick question. I'm going to visit the Brothel. When I go to my Brothel, the state is disabled.
is disabled so how do i you know to enable your browser you have to put a character in your
browser it will become the warmonger of the browser so if you don't want to use the one you already
start to develop you can mint another one using the the recruiter to get a ticket and roll a new character and you can put this character
in your browser okay how do i put that character in the bottle uh you have on your when you see
the manage tab the first tab in the browser not not the Visit Browser but the first one,
you have a button to manage your browser, you will see a window and the first line is a select character.
Should I put a high level character or low level character?
No, no, no. You need to use a character with a low statistic and level 1. The one you
don't want to use in the PvE. Like if you have a character with 180 or less, it's okay.
Bro, I love it. Set Hallmmonger. Okay, done set.
For the BP, do I put any?
Yes, you need to put some BP,
so you have to burn some bottle of rum.
It's like the PVE.
And each time someone uses your building,
it will consume some BEP.
Ah, so I don't really need to grow my bottle.
I can go on to other people and utilize it under the busy bottle, right?
Yes, exactly.
Okay, let me just add the bottles.
Alright, got it. Nice. You have a cycle for the building.
Your character can go to 10,000 experience and it will be stuck here.
And you can use it 100 times once your building and
the hundred usage will be will be consumed the character will disappear of your building you
need to start with another one it's like a retirement. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Damn.
A lot of brothel has been set
up. Like, who is the lucky...
Let me visit number 42.
The first one.
Okay, guys. You guys are lucky.
Let me visit this brothel
instead.
Yo-ho-ho!
What's the difference between
Yo-ho-ho and they's the difference between Yo-ho-ho and
they charge you the cost?
Be careful because
you can
get some
MST.
You can get like
you can get some
gonorrhea
if you are not lucky. You can get like... You can get some... Gonorrhea.
If you are not lucky.
I love it, I love that.
And...
STD, sorry.
And... If you got one,
if you got one,
you need to go...
to send your character to another browser to...
to char your STSD to another one and it will disappear.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, did I hear it right?
I need to...
...transfer your STD to someone else?
Holy shit. transfer the std to someone else holy shit yes all right let me transfer to falcor guys um so
that i can i can heal myself i can heal you guys are wilding in the chat guys calm down calm down
bro okay got it got it okay so nice so once you you've done that, the characters inside,
visit, and then you build, all right, got it.
Like, can I know who is the,
what's the highest level right now in the game?
In the game, so in PvP, in PvE, you have the 100 level,
and for the character, it's a 10 000 experience
to reach the maximum and the the on the browser the maximum boost you can have is 10 000 it's
equal to the experience of the puzzle. Okay, okay.
Got it.
Damn, okay. I'm loving this already. I think it's really, really fun.
So right now, like PvP, how easy it is? I have not tried PvP yet.
PvP? How easy it is? I have not tried PvP yet. What is the recommended level for people
to be good in PvP?
It's mandatory to buy a chip to another people on the marketplace or you need to reach the level 100 in your character and fully gear legendary your character.
I can send you an asset if you want to try.
Let me check.
I don't have a ship yet.
I've not purchased in the marketplace so I can't PvP. But honestly, I don't think I'm at the level to a ship yet. I've not purchased in the marketplace, so I can't PvP.
But honestly, I don't think I'm at the level to PvP yet.
I just started today.
So I'm probably going to go on to PvE,
try to level up and see.
So for the energy, for the BEP,
to recharge is only going back to the Brothel.
Am I correct?
Yes.
And if you have more than 1000 Coincopper, you can craft a gear in the forge.
And the gear will power up your character stat.
So you can have more win rate and reach more level.
Okay, got it. and reach more level okay i have a question for starter for the main night if we need to do
investment what will be the minimum fee we need to start okay so you have many ways to start the
game and the low the low cost i would say is to buy a ticket or a character on the marketplace
and on the marketplace you have character for one usdc so it's very low and you need to buy
after some rum some bottle of rum to start to play with rth the rth you need to pay like a sense to play
so you just have with 10 10 10 you can play like for a month with one character and a batch of
barrels of rome and rth and with that, you can reach the PvP.
You can reach your level 100 with your character.
Do you think we'll ever get to level 200,
or is 100 going to be the max?
100.
And this is why we chose scale,
because at the beginning, we were on Polygon and one action on Polygon need to use Chainlink for the RNG and Pegas. character and on polygon it it was cost like uh 800 to be to have the full loop economic of the
game uh and that's and it's slow uh yes very slow yo look at that i'm equipping all my stuff so my Thanks Puke for taking over the show for a couple,
for like five, ten minutes.
I'm like, I'm like full invested.
So like instantly PVE sending out hunting, hunting, hunting,
and then realize that, holy shit, do not have enough BEP.
Sending all of them to the brothel to chill.
So now they are chilling inside. It's all good. They chilling of them to the brothel to chill so now they are chilling inside it's all
good they're chilling at pukes brothel yeah chilling at so i i did not have any money um so i'm chilling
at number brothel 42 um that's where i'm chilling at right now yeah yo yo yo let me let as as we as
we're looking at like winding this down yo let me let me head over to Brothel 42 and we can hang out together.
How about that?
Yeah, yeah, let's hang out there.
Come on, come on.
42 is the number, bro.
Yo, yo, where's Brothel 42 at?
Yo, let's go, man.
Yo, I'm going to bring my pirate.
We're going to yo-ho-ho.
We're going to go chill out at the Brothel.
Yeah, we're going to yo-ho-ho. Me and Puke are going to yo- go chill out at the brussel we're gonna yo ho ho
me and Puka gonna yo ho ho at the
brussel 42
we're gonna have a grand old time
uh no
if you wanna chill
come to 42 that's where
the pirate get the full health back
ready to go
pwe pwp that's it but dude
we need to send our address so we get
like the ship where we can go and pvp yeah yeah yeah no definitely definitely man um i think like
yeah i mean it's been super super fun like having like this little like intro into like
what is flag and things like that and i'm down for us to do another one you know where we go a
little bit more deeper into the weeds of what is flag how it worked like and play in the act like
properly getting into the depths of playing the game how does that sound drix
perfect for me and we can we can uh prepare uh we can um like uh uh send I can send you all the
assets you need for the PvP
to showcase
the PvP on another stream.
Definitely, man. Definitely.
Alright,
alright, alright.
It has been...
Yeah, no, continue. Keep going.
I can say
that the PvVE part you see
like the force, the browser
the treasury hunt
all is already on mainnet
so you can already
buy your building
you can
start to farm some barrels
you can spend
your rum, we have a full
marketplace integrate in the game it's a fork of
zero x and a dex in the game you have any swap v3 dex integrate to buy some rth with flag and you
can buy flag on sushi on europa Sushi on Europa.
We love it.
We love it.
We love it.
Puke, any final words from you, my friend?
Yo, ho, ho.
If you guys have been tuning in,
you know what's the secret word.
The secret word to be good in this game
is yo, ho, ho, guys.
Yo, ho, ho. That's all you is yo ho ho. Yo ho ho.
That's all you're going to do.
Yo ho ho.
You know what's up.
Number 42.
Brother 42.
Bring it up.
Let us see.
All right.
And next time we play.
Oh God.
So yeah.
Go away.
You're breaking my stream.
That dude is like three levels above me in seniority, right?
Like, I should not yell at him.
Like, he is like higher above me.
We, what are we talking about?
I can't remember.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
No, so we'll come back.
We'll do this again. Yo ho yeah yeah sorry he threw me he
threw me through a ringer here um we'll definitely do this again there'll be a lot less pirate
pirate accent from me though so let's uh a lot less of that hopefully that never happens again. But in the meantime, Puke, mate, as always, absolute pleasure to have you on.
We have F1 this weekend.
Yo, you got to get me on one of them spaces or something, man.
You know, like I got my-
Bro, you literally in all of the groups, but you just did not want to show up.
It was like 6 a.m okay before
soyers get angry quick question bro are you gonna put yuki in your fantasy yes 100 okay okay that's
it that's it the guys uh if you like f1 do join us we have some cooking as well yeah um and drex
as well mate i really appreciate you hanging out um absolutely awesome
to take a proper good look into what is um what is for looting glory um and we're super excited to
get you guys like properly released on mainnet rocking and rolling and having the game be pushed
to the masses yes and i can say it was a real pleasure to build on scale just like really
but with manuel and and so yeah the great axios they help us all the day all the time during the
weekend during the week and i never see a a blockchain team like this so thank you guys
a blockchain team like this.
So thank you, guys.
No worries at all.
No worries at all.
And as we have said his name,
we can now summon him.
Did it work?
Hey, it worked.
I suppose.
Sorry for yelling at you.
I suppose...
It's okay.
I'm going to turn all that off.
Wow, that really zoomed in on my face.
That's so weird.
I don't like that.
This is terrible.
Oh...
Sorry.
Not in my normal place today.
Where are you?
Are you at the office?
That just did not work.
Oh, you're not at the office.
I'm on puppy duty today.
This is terrible. terrible okay that's better
do we have manuel is manuel joining us no just me today he is taking a well well well well
well deserved vacation after getting many projects live on mainnet and i am flying solo today so um
we're going to do things a little different today because i don't have
someone to help me answer technical questions um on the side feel free to just load up town hall
chat with questions and i will do a longer qa q a answering session kind of at the tail end today but
um yeah falk am i good to kick things off or do i need to give you a couple minutes just give me like 40 seconds it's just because my overlay is built for three people
i don't have one for two so uh give me a sec so underprepared it's okay yeah yeah because i'll
forgive you later yeah okay yeah um oh puke puke oh. What's my beard care routine?
Are you sure you want to know?
Why not?
You're going to be very jealous.
Literally nothing.
I kid you not.
I don't do anything.
I hate taking care of it.
It's just there.
And yeah, it gets shaved every... It gets trimmed down every few weeks i don't shave um i would look very weird without a beard anyways um all right so um
while we wait for him to get everything set up just a reminder because um they reminder these
things have no monetary value and they're literally just because I have a friend who made some really cool aliens.
If you want an alien, just let me know.
We have a whole bunch in the audience today.
You can see them.
They look I'll just I can't I can't turn my camera off.
Otherwise, I'll get yelled at.
I have an alien, too.
It's awesome.
If you want an alien, just let me know.
Just respond in here.
All I need is a Ethereum address for you of that will work
on scale like that's it um no i don't have puking aliens that's that would just be too much um i do
though i do have you could join the baguette guild um you would look good in in the as a baker i think
um um oh floris is here floris is in the baker's guild i think
um i think i've given away so many aliens i forgot yes are we doing are we doing a um
are you loading up a like a a screen sorry yes i have one cool cool no that's fine just just
confirming so you gotta give me you gotta give me more info man!
You gotta let me know more!
Yeah I know, this was a weird, you know, it was a bit of a crazy weekend.
I wonder why.
My bad, my bad.
It's all good.
It was not as trapped this week as I normally am.
Give him shit, give him shit.
Well no, don't you?
The hell?
Everyone tries to bully me lately oh that's tough that's tough that's tough that's tough that's very tough
yeah i'm sorry falcourt um okay so as we get ready here feel free to start throwing questions in
about scale and i will answer them um in kind of
the intro as well if you have any questions on scale um i'll do my intro as soon as i'm allowed
to but just because i don't know if i'm actually live streaming yet i don't i won't do it uh you're
live but you're currently uh the image says is a skeleton that says patiently waiting. So you're not really live yet.
As an FYI,
I don't really... If you could just share your screen
and keep it shared
for the remainder of this session,
that would be appreciated.
Sure thing, my friend.
One moment.
Just get everything ready.
Yeah, you really have kind of...
One moment.
Messed me here, I can't lie.
We literally do the same thing every week.
Yeah, but normally there's three of us, not two.
That's the issue.
Hold on.
I can solve this.
I can solve this.
I've already remade the asset.
I've already remade the asset.
I literally just finished it.
Oh, that's my bad. That was the big issue.
I had everything else so nicely prepared.
All good to go.
I'm so sorry.
It's fine.
You're not actually sorry.
You don't actually care. Which is fine.
No, I do. I feel bad
because I knew that Minel was out and I told everybody but you.
Wait, seriously?
Yes.
So I feel bad.
Yeah, okay, you should.
Well, not on purpose.
It just...
We're not in any channel where I felt it was necessary to notify you and then i've remembered that he usually sits to my right and is my my answering
my answering machine my technical answering machine for this and he's really good at it
and then i was like oh that's not ideal uh that's fine i guess anyways um what happens if does this
mess you up if i just like shrink this window a little bit because i totally mess you up if I just shrink this window a little bit? Because I totally screw you up. Yes, completely.
So, yes.
Okay, can I leave it at this size?
If you want to-
Or do I have to go bigger?
No, no.
If you want to leave it at that size, that's completely fine.
Just leave it at that size.
Like whatever size you want to leave it at.
Okay, I'm leaving it at that size.
Okay, that's fine.
Cool.
Just because I have less screens today, so.
Oh no. That's such like a festival problem
i know it is it is it is it is it's embarrassing um it's okay i can't believe you guys everybody
in the audience likes to sit here and listen to us ramble and make fun of each other for like
five minutes while we try to figure this out i would just like to say how grateful i am for all
of you because it's yeah if i was there I'd be like wow this
guy's this guy's kind of a kind of a I'm talking about Falcor here by the way this guy's kind of
a you know what um not talking about myself of course what the hell um anyways okay um
let's see we got a couple questions I'll answer those as we go here my favorite game on scale uh well i try not to play favorites
but um i love flag like i've spent oh i've spent so much time with them over like the i feel like
the last year they're just i love on-chain gaming i think it's so amazing um in that vein cryptopia
love the cryptopia team very similar ideology lots of on-chain gaming um
um outside of that oh it starts to get really tough because again i kind of love everybody
it's like i'm it's my job i have to love everybody um i'll think more about who else i want to shout
out i i would like to shout out everybody but i can't um why is scale considered a good option
for gaming and nft projects well i think it depends on what you're valuing right but the
reality is that you can do everything you can on other chains on scale with zero gas fees faster
native rng all those good bells and whistles so it's like why would you go anywhere else
if you could do everything and then some and get better performance and better cost um
like our on-chain rng yeah we're going to chat more about that not today because you guys did not vote for rng so unfortunately if you voted for rng sorry not today maybe next week um
from rohan one question what are the rewards for validators for validating transactions
a scale chain on ethereum values to cut from transactions value transactions blah blah sorry
uh yes and no so that's a really great question um we're actually going to hit on this briefly
today as part of our pooled security model but essentially because of skills unique unique design
there is no um there is no paid per transaction or paid per block like you get on traditional networks.
So traditional blockchain networks, what happens is validators get paid from a combination of
usually inflation or mining, as well as some of the gas fees, transaction fees. On scale,
validators get paid monthly through what we call scale chain pricing or scale chain payments.
Because of that, they don't then get paid per block. They do what we call unified validation.
It's a lot more efficient
and a lot more cost-effective for everybody.
And they're guaranteed to get paid
even if they're not the ones actively in committee.
So part of that pooled model,
it's actually a really good question on today's fame.
And we will talk about scale
and Ethereum leverage today for security
because that is also part of the pooled security model.
So are we good to go? Good to go. It looks so pretty.
Rock and roll.
Something.
Awesome. I will revisit that shortly
because all of it is great questions.
Thank you everybody for joining us today.
This is our deep dive
number
three, four.
I don't know. We've been doing these for a while. I forgot.
Anyways, we've been doing these for at least three. This is at least number three. Anyways,
what is the scale deep dive? Today, we are going to talk about a very specific topic
related to the scale network. Through that, we'll be answering questions. We'll be educating you
about scale, how scale works, of course, this particular topic, but all of it in
the vein of trying to be not super technical. So I, of course, for those of you that don't know me,
I'll introduce myself in a second, I can tend to get super technical. So at any point in time,
you're just like, hey, this is way over my head. Please tell me and or ask questions for me to
repeat things as many times as I need to. This is ultimately your time. We are here today to educate and help everybody
become a member of the scale community.
So there is no bad questions.
And yeah, that's the plan today.
So my name's Sawyer.
I run Scale Developer Success Team.
I also am one of the lead community developers.
I do quite a few things throughout the Scales ecosystem, including running the Developer
Success Team, these deep dives. I help the majority of the bigger partners and enterprises
integrate within Scales. And probably my favorite thing to do is help developers use Scales,
like the flag team that was just in here
and I think is still hanging out.
So on the side of that, on the community side,
I build tools.
I help with the community governance.
I do quite a few different things there.
But yeah, if you haven't met me yet,
great to meet you and thanks for coming.
On to the quick agenda,
and then we will move forward into...
Wait, do I not get an intro?
I knew I forgot something. Sorry, Falkor, please introduce yourself.
What the hell, man?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
We have...
That's my bad, that's my bad.
No, no, you've been very dismissive of me.
We have spent, in the past two weeks,
probably seven hours in calls together.
That was mostly your fault?
Valid.
I apologize.
I apologize.
Everybody, please welcome to the stage,
even though he probably introduced himself to you an hour ago.
I didn't. Please welcome, Falcor. He is our... well that's you that's your yeah that is he is our incredible community manager slash head of community whichever one he would prefer and uh yes falcor please
introduce yourself hi i yap a lot um uh that's about it um i i am here to sit back and listen and learn because you know i've only
been here at scale for oh god five months now wait is it really been five months crazy um and
there's still lots for me to learn and you know this is these these sessions are really really
great for me because i get i it helps
me get a better technical understanding i also and it's also really great for our community members
so they get a better technical understanding as well so soya take it away thank you talcour
thank you i promise i will not forget you next week or at least i promise to try to not forget you. Anyways, on to the agenda for today. So we just did our
quick intros, both of us, Senneport and I. We've cracked enough jokes probably to, well, hopefully
make at least some of you laugh, and if not, cringe a little bit. What's coming next? We're
going to start off with our introduction to scale. So will be uh for the most part pretty high level it's not going to be super deep um generally i find that when people ask questions
we get into the much better description of scale just because scale is so big um so again please
keep the questions coming i will do my best to answer them as i go once we get through that we're
going to go into a deep dive on pooled security pooled security covers a lot of aspects of scale,
so it's going to be a fairly long discussion.
And then last but not least,
we will go into a little bit of Q&A at the end.
I keep saying Q&A, which is definitely not question answered.
That's absolutely quality assurance.
We'll go into a little bit of Q&A at the end,
and then, yeah, we'll go from there.
So goals keep it pretty free-flowing.
Again, if you have questions, please ask them.
So what is scale?
If you don't know and you're new,
scale is a network of layer one blockchains
built different to scale gaming, AI, D-PIN, DeFi,
pretty much anything you can functionally scale
on blockchain, pun intended,
you can do it on scale network. It is a multi-chain network by default. Again, it is a network of layer one
blockchains. We're going to talk about the layer one piece today in conjunction with this whole
pooled security. But the things that scale is really well known for are probably number one,
the zero gas fees, in my opinion, is the most well-known aspect. Every scale chain, every
transaction, every user, every developer
has zero gas fees forever and always.
In addition to that,
there's also speed.
Scale's really, really fast, right?
Instant finality, one second block times,
huge block gas limits,
all the kind of bells and whistles
that get developers really excited.
Scale's got all of them and then some.
On top of that, Scale is, well, what I call full of superpowers. So I usually, my favorite definition of Scale is it's kind of a network of a bunch of mini Ethereum's of superpowers.
What are those superpowers? Things like native on-chain RNG, which again, we are not going to dive into much today. Native on-chain file storage, native on-chain Oracle.
Yeah, those are the three big ones.
I'm forgetting something really critical, but that's okay.
Again, scale is really complicated.
I'm sure we'll touch it at some point.
Now, that is my really brief introduction to schema.
Now, I'm going to go a little bit deeper than I normally do
while I wait for the usual questions to come in.
But a couple of things that are really important to call out.
Zero gas fees means that you as a developer and you as a user can actually build on blockchain.
It is not sustainable for people to build blockchain-based applications when at the end of the day, you wind up paying more just to literally grow.
You're penalized for growth, which is how most
L1s work. Then people go to L2s and stuff like that. It doesn't really make sense.
So zero gas fees forever and always is a really big deal, right? Because you are not penalized
for your growth. In addition, what's really interesting is scale does also offer gasless
transactions. Reminder, gasless and zero gas fees are two different things. We won't dive into Gasless much today.
I think we dived into it last week.
But Gasless actually allows you to send transactions without any of the native gas token that has no value and still execute your transaction.
So we do have those as well.
Additionally, when we start to look at actually building applications and what we can do on scale there's a lot of flexibility so looking at the actual chain design right and the fact that we have so many of these
chains and they're all interconnected by our native bridge which is the fourth thing that i forgot to
mention um you can build applications that utilize scale as infrastructure right this isn't just a oh
i have to be DeFi.
I have to launch a token.
I have to launch an NFT collection.
You can utilize blockchain, specifically scale chains
for fault tolerance, for data availability,
for geodistribution of your infrastructure.
And essentially as a decentralized CDN,
which is pretty cool.
So lots of really flexible opportunity there for developers.
On that front, just the last piece that I would like to call out before we kind of move forward
into our pooled security session is we have two different types of chains within the scale network.
We have hub chains, which is our Nebula, Calypso, Europa, and Titan hubs. Nebula is gaming,
Titan's AI, Europa's kind of DeFi liquidity,
Calypso with a little bit of everything, touches social, stuff like that. And we also have app
chains. If you are a developer here today or you are on Twitter live streaming right now,
a reminder, if you want your own scale chain, you can have one. Just reach out to myself or any
member of the scale team and we can definitely help you get moving forward there um you get all of the amazing benefits of ethereum and evm with zero gas fees
and the best part is is you don't have to pay 15 of your sequencer revenue to someone because well
we're l1s we don't have sequencers so win-win um before i continue here, any questions, anything that people want me to dive into on scale itself?
Anything like that?
A small intro on Portal 4.0.
Yeah, we'll hit that at the end, Rohan.
Great question.
If there's time.
Cool.
In that case, let's dive into the, well, the session today.
So let's talk about pooled security.
What is pooled security? Pooled security, and I just want to make sure, all right, I've got
plenty of screen space. Cool. What is pooled security? Pooled security, and I definitely
want this to be a slightly smaller one. So I'm going to,
sorry, as you know, have to go through a couple of technical difficulties before we get to what
I want to do. That didn't work. Here we go. What is pooled security? Pooled security is a pool of
validators. Okay, really critical here. A pool of validators. What is a pool? It's
just a group, right? So we'll just say pool equals group. Now, this group of validators,
what do they do? They provide compute to the scale network, right? So basically, a validator
runs a super node, which is a scale super node, and that is providing compute to the network.
which is a scale super node, and that is providing compute to the network.
That's what they're paid to do.
So just for clarity here, validators on scale are not paid to actually run scale chains directly.
They're paid to supply compute to the network.
Running the chains is just something they do as well, but they are not paid extra to do that,
And they don't have to be because they're paid quite well just to supply compute to the network.
and they don't have to because they're paid quite well just to supply compute to the network.
Now, in addition to providing compute to the network, what they do while they're doing this is they watch and actually run the network.
So this is not something where when a new scale chain is created, someone sits there and says, oh, let's put this validator on that chain and that validator on that chain and whatever it may be what happens is scale manager which is where the actual pool is maintained scale manager which is a set of smart contracts on ethereum mainnet
actually tracks who all the validators are in the network okay so hopefully we're tracking so far
tracking so far pretty pretty pretty simple what we have is we have ethereum
pretty pretty pretty simple what we have is we have
which is a blockchain as most of you probably know we have ethereum and on ethereum we have
scale manager i'm just going to do this for scale manager just because i don't want to run out of
room too soon and then what we have is we have a super node.
So we're just going to do a bunch of super nodes like this
just to represent how scale works.
Okay, so we have a bunch of validator super nodes.
And how these super nodes actually work
is they are tracked in scale manager.
So scale managers are a smart contract.
Each of these super nodes have a connection to
scale manager. Okay. Hopefully we're still tracking. If not, please interrupt me. Let me know. I'll go
back and start over. Now, this is where things get really, really cool and interesting. We have all
these super nodes. We have scale manager on Ethereum. What happens when we actually want to create a scale chain right well we have a scale chain and we're going to um maybe we can go over a little bit so we have a scale chain right we'll say s chain
now this s chain uses 16 nodes okay we're going to go to a blank screen real quick
what we're going to do is we're actually going to dive into what is a super node.
This is a scale super node.
Okay.
And the way it looks is kind of like this.
We have, well, a whole bunch of actual slices for the different scale chains.
Sorry. slices for the different scale chains.
Sorry.
And then what we have is we have extra services that are actually network level.
So essentially, right, we could have,
oops, sorry.
We could have, let's go to a different color.
Node one, for example.
So this could be running on some scale chain.
We can have node two.
This could be running on some scale chain. We could have node two. This could be running on some scale chain.
We could have node three.
This could be running on some scale chain.
And then we also have things like scale admin,
which is a Dockerized container service,
which basically maintains the manage of the node.
It has a whole bunch of functions that do that.
There's scale watchdog, which is decentralized SLA.
And then there's a whole bunch of other services
that basically run within the scale super node.
These services are shared within the super node.
These containers for the actual nodes
are basically S chain containers.
So let's kind of keep scrolling here
and let's actually draw out what the network looks like
on any given day, okay?
So right now what we have is we have,
we're gonna draw a whole bunch of super nodes. Okay, so these now what we have is we have, we're going to draw a whole bunch of super nodes.
Okay, so these are scale super nodes.
And we're just going to draw a few of these.
And again, please shoot questions in the chat as you go.
I am keeping an eye on the chat directly
so I can answer those as we go.
So you have a whole bunch of super nodes.
And then right now we're going to go with two scale chains
just to kind of get things started so we have s chain one and we have s chain two okay and so a layer
one blockchain has its own nodes right and its own validators that is part of the design of a
of a blockchain network um these s chains don't have
their own so let's just say um i don't know who should we pick out from the crowd let's grab um
because falcor is not here let's grab um oh reb reb just joined in reb wants a scale chain right
reb wants a scale chain well actually reb wants a a scale chain. Well, actually, Rev wants a blockchain. He said, I want a layer one, okay?
Most layer one chains, what you have to do is you go and you have to find your validators.
You have to, you know, create a token.
You have to create an incentivization model.
You have to do all these unit economics and token economics and all these things.
And it takes a long time and it's very complicated and it's very expensive.
On scale, you say, I want a scale chain, right?
And what happens?
You send a transaction on the Ethereum network, you begin paying into Paymaster on Europa. And what happens is your
scale chain connects to each of the super nodes in the network, or at least a subset of them,
right? We need 16 to be exact. In this case, I only have about seven listed, but that's a good
enough representation for now.
Your chain has to connect to all of these nodes.
And what you actually get is you get one portion of that super node to run your chain, your container.
So I know my drawing is not very good.
Let's just assume a super node, which normally does eight medium chains,
can only do four just for drawing purposes.
This chain is getting this little
sliver right here so that's what pooled security literally is i know it seems like almost wow that
was too simple but that's the truth pooled security is we have a pool of nodes which are
all scale valid air super nodes very straightforward and simple we then have skill chains what do scale
chains do they run off of these nodes from the pool.
Okay?
Pretty straightforward and simple.
Any questions?
I know you guys don't raise your hands or anything, but any questions, any comments, concerns, unknowns here?
Otherwise, we're good.
Cool.
I'll keep going.
So what gets really interesting is...
really interesting is thank you thank you uh uh part of the next um what gets really interesting
Thank you, Parthenx.
is because of the containerization model of scale we have s chain two over here right so s chain two
which we're going to change the color to red just so we can have everything kind of match and be a
little bit uh cleaner s chain two has the exact same. It's taking one of the slots or basically containers of all of these super nodes and is using those to run its scale chain.
So what does this actually look like?
Again, same thing.
If we basically just partition this node, it's getting this little partition.
If we partition this node, it's getting this little partition. If we partition this node,
it's getting this little partition.
Now what's happening is on every single node,
you can run up to some n number of
scale chains based on the actual container size.
Right now, it's up to eight nodes per super node,
because of the fact that the medium chain takes up
one-eighth of the container capabilities.
But if we went with a smaller chain, for example,
you know, 132 or 164, you can actually fit 64 scale chains
on every single basically super node.
Or you could fit a hybrid amount of small chains
and medium chains and large chains, things like that.
But essentially, they're just sharing the compute.
That's the simplest way to think about it so if we compare this to a
traditional blockchain right a traditional blockchain kind of looks like this right we'll
just say you know we have node node we just have a whole bunch of nodes in this network
right and essentially what these nodes do is they communicate and build
the chain but what happens is is if your incentivization model doesn't work or you know
you have a bunch of nodes go down there's no nodes to switch to right you have to basically get new
nodes in the network you don't have an opportunity to reuse your existing allocation with scale it's
very different so i'm going to kind over again, and I'm going to
redraw in a slightly
different way this time.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to say
node,
node,
node,
and we're going to make these a little bit closer together.
This is all going to make sense in just a second.
These are a super node.
Big, big difference difference this is a super node and we're just going to say the super node can run four nodes
again these can do eight but just because i only have so much screen space we'll kind of tone it
down a little bit okay so let us go like this um delete that delete that let's send this to the back that's not what i wanted send it to the bottom
and let's grab all of these and perfect so in scale we have a few super nodes right
we currently have about a hundred of them but in this case we're just going to have three
just for uh demonstration purposes, I lost the square.
That's okay.
So we have three super nodes, okay?
And in our hypothetical demo,
we're going to assume that we have one scale chain, okay?
Just because, again, one scale chain is a lot easier to think about than 20 scale chains or an infinite amount of scale chains.
So we have one scale chain, all right?
Scale chain.
We're going to call this the great axios chain i get my own scale chain
so what's actually happening here okay when this chain is created this chain has four node slots
that it needs to basically use to operate not super nodes nodes so remember super nodes are
these big validator nodes. They run multiple scale
chains. They run a whole bunch of different software, and then nodes run within the supernodes.
Okay. So inside our scale chain, we have four slots. Okay. We have N1. We're going to have,
let's see if it'll let me copy this. We have N2. we have n3
and we have n4
okay
reminder, scale chains today, they have
16 of these, they actually have 16
nodes, but I'm still a terrible
drawer, so we're going to do our best with what we have
so what happens is
when this chain is created,
we take four nodes from these super nodes.
We're actually gonna add one more here.
We're going to go like this.
We're going to shrink it.
So we can add another supernode.
Okay.
Green.
Grab this guy.
Oops, that's not it.
Sorry.
Still green.
Uncertain why.
It's okay.
And last one.
So we're grabbing four random nodes from the network from these super nodes. So now this chain runs, right? Once this chain is started up, it just
runs because again, validators do not get paid per transaction. They don't get paid per block.
They get paid for running the chains and supplying compute to the network. Sorry,
supplying compute to the network. And then ultimately they get paid for running the chains and supplying compute to the network sorry supply community network and then ultimately they get paid for you know running change just indirectly um when this happens right
when we look at this picture we can see that we have a whole bunch of compute available it's unused
right every node here is actually only being used about 25 percent right 25 out of the the the
allocation of the resources is actually being consumed.
So now this chain, because it's a Byzantine fault-tolerant chain,
and the actual algorithm for a scale chain is 3N plus 1 for the amount of nodes to not be Byzantine,
that means three of four of these, okay, so let's say three of these nodes at any given time
need to be healthy, running, and basically up and okay. Okay, so we'll just say three of these nodes at any given time need to be healthy, running, and basically up and okay.
Okay, so we'll just grab three of these.
So we'll just assume that N3, for example, is down, right?
He is malicious.
He's not working.
He's unsynced, whatever it is.
Okay?
Your blockchain is now a little bit less stable, right?
Just like in reality. that's the truth.
When you have nodes that are disappearing going down,
well, your blockchain is not going to be as stable
because you're literally missing, in this case,
25% of your validator compute, right?
Obviously, a chain that has basically more nodes is more stable.
So we use 16 today, and they're much more stable
than obviously a 3 or 4 would be.
3, 4 nodes in a supernode can be your backup in case one of those will down um
yes and no the entire network is your backup this is the coolest part of scale so essentially let's say that you as a chain owner see that this node is consistently going down and this node is not
performing what will happen is this node will actually get rotated out,
which is actually this node right here.
So we'll just say this node is for some reason not working.
We'll say maybe this node is having sync issues
and for some unknown reason,
this super node is just not performing well.
So say the entire thing,
the entire super node is not performing well, right?
For whatever reason.
What happens then? Well, we have another super then well we have another super node we
have another super node we have another super node this is what scale actually looks like
what do we do we rotate this node this node goes out see you later and we'll just say this node
comes in so we'll just go back we'll go n put this guy in, we'll say N3 is deleted here,
and now what happens is we'll just grab this node from this new super node. So essentially,
this node is no longer in use, this super node, no longer in use at all, and this one up above is.
So we quite literally rotated the nodes. We took one out of the chain and we put a
new one in right what happens well now we've got a hundred percent of our compute back available for
the chain this means we can handle more transactions our total transaction queue some got bigger we're
going to have greater stability our sync is going to be better our performance is going to be better
additionally right let's just say that
that was due to a node being down.
This first example is due to a node being down.
Let's say that I find out that this is,
let's just say Falcor Inc.
And this is Falcor Inc.
I find out that actually, better yet, we say is Reb still here? Reb is.
This is Reb Inc. Right? Reb is a validator and Falkor is a validator. Okay? And we find out that
Reb and Falkor are secretly really good friends behind the scenes. And there's been some concern
that maybe they're colluding. Right? Maybe there's a security risk to our chain. And so what do we do?
We can actually rotate Falcor or Reb or both nodes out
to get a new node because we're scared of collusion, right?
Because if three fourths of these nodes collude,
then well, we're in trouble.
So maybe we're worried that Falcor is trying to,
you know, do a malicious takeover of this company
who's running these nodes.
And so now what we want to do
is we want to start to diversify our nodes.
So what do we do?
We get rid of this one
and we bring in a new node, right?
We rotate this one out
and let's just say we grab this guy
from some other validator, right?
We grab this guy.
Now, same thing.
We still have RevInc here
and we still have FalcorInc here.
So we want to get rid of another node.
Let's say we get rid of,
you know, we just rotated this guy in,
but, you know, maybe we don't like him now
because we think he's maybe colluding or something.
So what do we do?
Same thing.
We get rid of him.
We rotate a new node in, right?
So now if we go, sorry, N3 again,
and maybe we switch this guy to um where's my arrow
give me my arrow maybe we switch him to you know this guy for example and so essentially we just have these nodes that are always able to rotate and switch throughout the life cycle of a scale
chain and the best part is this is just one scale chain.
So now I'm just going to hide my, my chain name there.
Let's just say we duplicate our chain and now we have, you know,
two scale chains. So let's just zoom out a little bit and bring this up here.
Right. So let's just say we have two scale chains now, right? Same, same size.
It's the same thing.
This new chain is created, and what do we do?
We get super node one or super node three in this case.
We have one from this entity.
We have Rebs validator picks up one, and then we have this guy.
And so it's essentially the same thing.
They just can't use the same node,
right? So they're, they're already, they're, they're basically slots. So we can't reuse the node because it's, it's essentially a containerized blockchain, but we can have multiple nodes running
in the same super node for different scale chains, right? So now we have, you know, this guy is
running two scale chains. This guy is running two scale chains. This guy is running two scale chains.
This guy is running two scale chains and this guy is running one and this guy is running two scale chains, this guy is running two scale chains, this guy is running two scale chains, this guy is running two scale chains, and this guy is running one, and this guy is
running one. So we can kind of start to visualize how these nodes move and rotate throughout the
network and throughout the different scale chains. That is the visualization. I know that was maybe a
little bit long and drawn out. But any questions on that any anything you want me to dive into before
i start to talk about the actual security benefits and and everything there and then we'll move into
our q a to kind of close things out cool awesome i hope that was informative i hope it was
interesting um it is definitely something a little bit more technical but let's chat real brief about
what is the actual benefit of this?
Like, why do we care, right?
As I kind of mentioned at the start, right, and let's kind of zoom back over to here, right?
Pooled security is really interesting because we leverage security of a much larger set of validators, right?
If you look at Binance Smart Chain, for example, not hating on them, I believe last time I checked, they had like 20 or 30 validators is a fairly
small set. And out of that, they use proof of authority. So there's no real collateral,
but it's a pretty small set. And that set is pretty centralized from my knowledge. And again,
that's okay. That's the type of blockchain they want to do. In that case, their permission set doesn't give you any security as the set grows, right?
Because it's all pretty much the same entities.
If you look at Gale, as you continue to add more unique validators to the set,
you're actually able to diversify your security across more validators
because your chain can utilize 16 different validators at any given time. Yeah,
you may have a little bit of overlap here and there, but generally your chain should be,
essentially, you should never have a validator running more than probably two or three
of the smaller nodes. And so you should have usually four to five validators at least
running your individual scale chain at the bare minimum. And ideally,
in most cases, you're going to have closer to 10, 12, 14, 16 that are always rotating between them
throughout the network. Now, what this also means is as your chain essentially grows in value or
compute, you're also not stuck with the same validators, right?
Validators, some of them don't last forever, right?
Like most of them are running businesses
and some businesses are not successful.
And so if you have a validator
who's running a significant portion of your L1
and that validator goes down,
you just lost a significant portion
of the security of your network, right?
And so in the case
of scale, you don't have this kind of major concern because this broad security pool means
that if a validator chooses to leave, right, which validators over time, we've had some leave,
we've had some come in. If validators leave, you don't really have to worry. Their nodes get rotated out. You rotate new nodes in and your chain keeps running, right?
And so to kind of sum all this up,
the way that I look at this pooled security model
is I call it a batteries included L1, right?
The hardest part about getting a new toy
or the most annoying part is when you get a new toy,
you got to get batteries, right?
Because for some reason,
most of them don't come with batteries, right? And it was always exciting when you see a toy with like
batteries included on it. A scale chain is like an L1 with batteries included. You don't have to
worry about getting validators, getting to know them. You don't have to worry about essentially
how to incentivize them enough. By being a validator of scale, they're automatically
eligible to run your chain,
and they're getting paid through this chain pricing model. And so it kind of tracks into
this broader just efficiency model of scale is designed to grow to an infinite amount of
theoretical chains, and we don't have to worry about basically not having enough validators.
If we need more validators more tokens will
get staked or the msr would drop allowing them to run more nodes thus allowing us to run more
scale chains um so all kind of works in this nice circular cycle um lastly last piece to call out
here is again these are layer one blockchains, right? Also further secured by another layer one.
So the actual scale manager set of smart contracts, which is like 20 plus smart contracts, live on Ethereum mainnet.
These are the contracts in charge of orchestrating scale chains, node rotations, DKG, all that good stuff.
So all the actual under the hood things happening are actually done on Ethereum.
They could be done on any blockchain. They don't have to be done on Ethereum. They could be done
on literally any blockchain. You picked Ethereum in the early days because Ethereum was the biggest
and most secure L1 and most decentralized back then. But again, you never know where that could
go. What's really interesting is all that orchestration means you actually have to
basically beat Ethereumereum to beat
the security of what's orchestrating our network right so the network is actually orchestrated by
basically the validators who are then backed by the security of ethereum which is which is really
cool and rohan i think it was you that asked hopefully answers your question um
yeah i'm gonna pause there because i know it's a ton of information but hopefully that answered
some questions everybody had about how does scale work what is the actual what does this look like
in practice ignore that terrible drawing this one looks a lot better what does this actually look
like in practice this is happening live right now there's currently 16 scale chains live in mainnet
there is over i think it's 98 super nodes in the network right now which's currently 16 scale chains live in mainnet there is over i think it's 98 super
nodes in the network right now which is over like 800 something nodes um of of theoretical compute
power um all of that is running live literally doing this as we speak um which is which is pretty
cool um 784 thank you um the number goes up and down again as validator nodes fluctuate right so as you
have more stake nodes go up as you have less stake nodes go down if you reduce msr you create more
nodes if msr were to ever increase which I don't see why it would because it's already very high
it would actually go up um so we have plenty of compute um and as more people buy scale
chains that number will go up and as more stake, that number will also go up.
Cool.
So time for some Q&A, if there's nothing else that I can answer here.
Actually, I lied.
There's one other thing that I want to call out.
On the pooled security, one of the things that I want to call out. On the pulled security, one of the things that's really important to note is in order to essentially take over the network,
you would have to control over two thirds
of the nodes in the network
and thus be able to bribe,
basically like bribe or be malicious.
So also very important that it's both a,
you would have to actually have the most super nodes in addition to having the most nodes on a chain to do real damage because
you'd have to be the majority most of the time and that's very hard to do in this current network
design so um go decentralization um but yeah that is the um that is is the pooled security presentation for today.
Question time.
Who has questions?
I think I see one up above that I'll answer real quick,
but feel free to start throwing your questions in the chat.
Reminder, your questions do not have to be related to the topic today.
They can be related to anything.
So feel free to start throwing them in the chat.
To start off, I answer uh gringo's
question from above um you know zero gas fee model shifts costs developers via skl subscriptions
how do you ensure this doesn't create a hidden centralization risk where only well-funded dApps
can thrive the answer to your question is twofold the first is that one we have hubs right so hubs
are by default designed to solve this problem.
We recognize that not everybody's going to be able to afford their own blockchain, and not everybody needs their own blockchain.
That's just the reality.
And so if you don't need your own blockchain, well, you can use the, what's it called?
You can use the hub, right?
Very simple.
Very simple.
Don't have to pay for your own.
It should be much cheaper because you're paying only for a fraction of those resources.
It should be much cheaper
because you're paying only for a fraction of those resources.
On the flip side, you also only,
right now you have all of your chains are medium chains,
medium scale chains,
and they cost 7,200 per month as of yesterday.
But looking forward, again,
we have a lot of people asking for smaller chains.
So if dApps want smaller chains,
we're going to have smaller chains that are cheaper.
At the end of the day,
you're running servers and compute infrastructure
all over the world.
There is a cost to doing this, right?
There's a cost, that's why there's either gauss fees
or subscription fees to a blockchain.
It's just a question of which one you'll have.
But the answer is that no one should ever be priced
out of using scale.
There should always be an option for you.
It's just a question of which option makes the most sense with your company or your projects,
revenue, financial capabilities, as well as what are the network parameters at that given point in time.
But great question.
Okay. yeah so um it basically comes down to this this concept of most layer ones are monolithic chains right so when you have a monolithic chain you have a whole bunch of validators who are dedicated to
that chain on scale you don't get to pick who your validators are right if you want to be a
validator for the scale network great you contributing compute, and then your nodes are randomly assigned to scale chains.
And this is a big deal because on a normal network, right,
if you're spinning up your own L1, you may choose, you know,
a set of 10 people to be your validators, but you're choosing them.
You know who they are.
It's a centralization risk, right?
With scale, you have all of these validators,
and you as a scale chain owner or
operator don't get to choose who your validators are. So the biggest differentiation is that it's
actually, I believe, more decentralized because there's less choice in the matter. These nodes
randomly come in and out, right? And this random rotation can happen both at any given time or at
preset points of time if you want them to and your chain is just always changing who's
running it right and so this is really great because again you have to worry about oh well
coinbase runs 20 of ethereum's nodes or give or give or take right that's my that's my off the
cuff number um coinbase runs a lot of nodes uh maybe it's 10 maybe it's 12 whatever it is
close with a lot of nodes right maybe you don't like coinbase maybe you're Maybe you don't trust that they have too many nodes running that amount for that specific
chain.
Whereas if Coinbase was running nodes for scale, for example, valid or super nodes,
they wouldn't be able to choose which chains they validated, right?
They may be on no chains because they may just be supplying that access compute to the
network.
I think it's really that flexibility model
with the fact that you don't have
this guaranteed node operators.
You have guaranteed node operators for the network,
but the chains are all fully random.
Great question.
How does the security pool handle security?
How does the security pool handle security threats or potential frauds?
So all of this is handled by smart contracts.
So literally all of the orchestration and everything is handled by smart contracts. So there's really no fraud that could take place you have to have enough staking
collateral to get paid and make it worthwhile so basically if you have no collateral you're not
going to run nodes because it would it wouldn't make sense then to get added to the network you
have to have enough collateral um and then everything's happening automatically through
smart contracts so how do we handle it through smart contracts. So how do we handle it? Through smart contracts, decentralization, and blockchain.
Like we're actually using blockchain
to make blockchain work better
instead of making it all manual off-chain syncing.
How do smart contract audits help in identifying
and fixing vulnerabilities before deployment?
The answer is, well, a smart contract audit
is a bunch of third-party people come in and look at your code, and they try to identify problems.
Scale has undergone a slew of audits.
I actually, who did I send this to yesterday?
I just sent this to somebody, and they asked for a whole bunch of audits.
There has been, I think we've done four or five audits on IMA, which is our native bridge. And I think there's been two or three audits on scale manager.
Don't quote me.
Maybe it was three or four audits on scale manager.
And then other parts of the stack have also been audited.
So scale consensus, different pieces of the actual core tech stack of a node have also been audited.
There's been a lot of audits over the years.
But the answer is auditing helps us prevent bad things from happening to the best of our ability.
At the end of the day, nothing's bulletproof. Something can always be found, but we do our
best to ensure that we're consistently maintaining that highest level of security
across the whole network.
From Flames, good question.
If scale operates with zero gas fees,
what prevents spam transactions from overwhelming the network?
There is a gas token.
This is the biggest nuance to scale.
So there is a gas token.
It's called S-Fuel or ScaleFuel.
This token exists for two reasons.
The first one is actually compatibility right imagine if
there was no gas token at all nothing would work out of the box from the evm side right things like
metamask rabbi you know ether vm like all your favorite tools all your favorite stuff would not
work out of the gate because it would be incompatible so one compatibility but two it's a
security system right you can't just get unlimited amounts of S-Fuel.
If you want to try, be my guest.
You probably won't find much because I've done a pretty good job of designing those pipelines, if I do say so myself.
And most of them have existed now for around three and a half years without too much of
a headache.
So the answer is it's pretty hard to get a lot of S-Fuel.
And even if you did get a lot of S-Fuel, the chains are designed for high performance.
And so the answer is the S-Fuel token acts as a metering system. That metering system
occurs across every single chain independently, and you have to get a whole bunch of S-fuel to do
any damage, and it's pretty hard to get S-fuel. Most of it's passed down from either very small public faucets or um chain owners and operators a great
question though um what scales approach to node rotation so the approach to node rotation that's
a very interesting question is super technical so i'm going to keep it more so high level
and then feel free to follow up if you have like more specific questions. Node rotation is in itself fairly simple.
You have nodes in the chain.
You take those out of the list.
You've got a whole bunch of nodes
that are supplying compute to the network
who are active and available.
And essentially what happens is when you say rotate node,
you are grabbing a new node randomly from this pool.
You're grabbing the next index available on this node
for the underlying node.
So you have the super node, which is randomly grabbed.
Then you take the next index of the actual node container
that gets slotted in for, so we know what the ports are.
So we know what firewall pieces to open.
And then we run what's called DKG,
which is distributed key generation.
Since we use BLS threshold encryption,
which I know this is like a whole bunch of buzz,
technical nuance words here, bear with me.
VLS threshold encryption is where we do
what's called super majority voting.
Basically every node in the network has a private key,
private key share, which when you collect them all together,
we generate a shared public key,
which allows us to sign these transactions
in a leaderless manner.
When the node rotation occurs, we have to do a round of DKG to generate a new key with this new
node in the 15 that remain, or however many are in the set. And then once that's done, that gets
set in the smart contract, everyone has their key shares, and the chain keeps going.
Most end users and developers should never know that a node rotation actually occurred.
And I do know, I can't share too many details,
but I will say there has been a really, really cool
architecture design that I worked with the team with
about a month and a half ago.
And I'm not taking any credit for this.
The engineering team gets all the credit.
They were able to design some really cool kind of like upcoming mechanics that will
greatly improve node rotation and how the actual chain continues to process throughout
this node rotation cycle.
So lots of cool innovation coming there.
Great question so far.
Any more, I know we're about at time here.
I don't know if we can go over a little bit.
Let me see.
I need to, I actually need to jump to a call in a moment.
Any last question before we close out here?
Product, scale core product pieces. questions before we close out here. Product.
Scale core product
pieces.
Product management call.
For those of you that don't know,
No, it's something totally different.
This is just a high level.
This is just my high level. Every couple weeks
I get to sync with our
scale's head of product I get to sync with our Scales head of product
and get to talk about some of the cool stuff coming
and what the community would like to see
and what the developers would like to see.
So basically taking product requests and passing them up the ladder
and then if needed, helping design some of those mechanics.
So that's what is coming on my calendar in, well, one minute late now.
Looks like no more questions.
So thank you so much, everybody, for joining today.
I think this is a pretty cool deep dive.
I know we didn't go super deep.
I did that on purpose because I want to try to keep these a little bit more high level
because I've gotten some feedback that I was going a little bit too deep.
So hopefully it was good.
If you feel like I'm not going deep enough, well, just DM me and let me know.
Otherwise, I will post the next poll on my Twitter tomorrow for what we're going to talk about next week.
So, you know, make sure to follow me on Twitter and vote.
And, yeah, thank you to Falcor for being our live stream manager guy and making sure everything works.
Sorry for breaking it.
And, again, thank you all for showing up.
And if you were watching on Twitter, thank you there as well. Thank you.
