Yo, guys. Good evening. Good evening. Doosti. Welcome.
I'll drag more speakers up in a minute.
Just preparing and watching the Mint right now to see that everything is going well there.
Just give it like one or two more minutes. Just be in here. Invite your friends.
I'll get this out on Discord as well, so we can get a couple people in, and then we'll get the party started.
Welcome to the fucking Skulls, guys.
Yo, while you're doing that, dude, I just want to say that experience was extremely smooth.
I thought it would take me a second or two to get my Mint to go through, but everything happened very quickly.
Obviously, the Mint is flying by, so if you have whitelist, make sure you go snag it.
But, dude, I'm super excited for what you guys have not only done so far with your community, but what you're going to do in the future.
Like I told you whenever we had our call before, I talked with John, the founder, for like an hour and a couple different times.
I really like their ideas and what they're doing for the ecosystem.
If you don't have a whitelist, get ready for an attempt at public, if it makes it a public, which I think it will.
I think they said that there's some allocated for public.
But, like I said, if you don't get it on whitelist or public, just check secondary.
I think there'll be some people who obviously let it go for cheap just because it is a lot of money.
...what goes on today.
Even though I got to work, I'll be checking it throughout the day.
Obviously, I'm going to be very interactive today with the whole Mint and the ecosystem off.
So, yeah, I just appreciate you guys.
Appreciate you, man, Dusty. Thanks for the nice and kind words.
Yeah, man, we got a lot of exciting things planned and I think we've barely touched on all of it yet.
It's been very, very cool to see that people were mainly attracted by the art as well as the branding itself.
So, we've done, like, an outstanding job there.
And huge shout out here to our art team who has been producing all of our content.
Again, we have our own in-house art studio with 11 employed local artists and two other locations in Bali.
So, those are the people who are behind everything that we've been putting out.
So, huge shout out goes to them.
Kudos to the team.
We're, like, all here in the big workspace.
I'm in a small office right now to host the spaces.
And we're, like, watching how everything is going and we're very excited.
Give me one more minute to set everything up.
I see a lot of requests already.
I'll go through those in a second.
Please bear with me.
We just opened them up.
So, we're, like, a lot of DMs coming in.
Just need to organize that a little bit before we move on and open the spaces properly.
You know, and while they're, uh, while they're getting everything ready, if you guys haven't...
Oh my god, one second.
It's so fucking cold out here.
If you haven't done it already, do us a humongous favor.
Like and retweet the pinned comment above.
Um, let them know we're active and we're experiencing the mint live.
Uh, so, if you want to, uh, you know, do us a humongous favor.
Like and retweet that pinned comment above.
Drop a comment.
It'll help push out the algorithm.
Um, which we already have a humongous audience here.
Um, but yeah.
I'm sure they, uh, they appreciate you guys popping through.
I'm gonna drop my comment.
I've already minted mine too, like I said.
But, um, if you haven't done it already, dude, this shit's gonna be crazy today.
The last time we had a free mint, I feel like this hype was Bozo Collective.
And it had some insane volume the first day.
So, I have, uh, I have some pretty big expectations for today.
For not only, you know, this mint, but...
Oh my god.
Sorry, my dog is going crazy out here.
But for what's going on on Solana today.
So, I'm super excited.
Yeah, man, definitely a great day for Solana.
I think, um, a lot of people who made it on the final whitelist are happy right now to
being able to mint.
A lot of people are excited about Skull as well.
And yeah, um, we are very happy to, to be able to roll this out as a free mint to you guys.
Um, it's like a little Christmas gift that we're delivering to you.
And the main reason why we're, like, able to do this is, of course, by having a profitable business
that is backing it with our art studio, right?
So, those guys are, like, the main reason behind everything, right?
It allowed us to create, like, all the content as well as create this whole collection, um,
and then deliver it for free.
And it put us on the map.
That's, like, the cool thing, right?
So, the main intention was actually, um, to use it or utilize it in a way, um, where
we can highlight the talents of our artists as well as put our studio on the fucking web-free
And, yeah, man, um, we, we've made it.
We've accomplished that.
So, I'm quite happy about that.
Um, the artists are, are very excited.
Uh, we get, like, the platform and stage they deserve.
Um, so, very, very stoked about that.
And I can speak for, for anyone on the team.
Um, all of us are really, really excited about this.
And we are grateful and thankful for having you on there, um, being part of our community.
And, yeah, man, like, art is just, like, one, one facet of everything that we are doing,
And, again, like, we've barely touched on, um, all of our future plans.
Uh, whereas, like, a lot of interesting stuff in store.
So, yeah, happy to talk about that today as well for a bit.
But, yeah, mainly for the first days around Mint, we are just going to manifest our one-by-ones
that we're hopefully going to mint, as well as the cool traits that we want to mint, um,
as well as appreciate the art, as well as the artists.
And then, um, we will reveal more and more of our plans that are actually not tied to art at all.
But, yeah, let me get up the speakers again.
Got you, brother.
Jiggy, welcome to the stage.
So, this is the first time I'm actually hosting Twitter Space.
And I'm also monitoring the mint at the same time.
So, please bear with me.
Um, it's a lot of stuff to handle here right now.
Um, let me retweet this as well.
But, yeah, as any Twitter host would say, make sure to retweet and, uh, like the space.
Uh, comment below.
Um, invite your friends.
Uh, we're going to have a huge party here.
I think we're actually at, let me check real quick.
The last time I've looked into it, the mint was at 65 percentage.
Now we're at 70 percentage.
That's actually crazy.
Um, within 10 minutes on the whitelist Mint.
So, 70 percentage are already minted.
Um, we'll see how much is going to be left for the public raffle.
So, after the whitelist ends, we'll have a public raffle as well.
Uh, where you'll be able to, um, yeah, get tickets and then maybe get your hands on more collectibles.
Let's see.
Let's see who else we got up here.
Nice, nice, nice.
Um, who wants to come up and speak, just request.
Um, I'll drag some of you up.
Uh, I'm also waiting for some of our team members who are still organizing.
Some administrative work in the Discord.
But we should be up here soon as well.
But, yeah.
Honestly, man, like, I feel so dirty because I haven't showed for the last two days.
Um, we've been, like, locked in in the studio for, like, the last two days just trying to prepare everything properly.
Um, and get everything done right.
So, right now it's kind of a relief as well.
And I hope I'll be able to shower soon, um, because my girlfriend just told me that I smell like dog shit, to be honest.
So, yeah, man, um, right now we are feeling kind of relieved.
Um, the art team is very happy.
Uh, we're, like, celebrating a small party over there.
We're, like, really excited for the reveal.
That's going to be cool, probably in two or three days from here.
I think the cover that we've prepared is pretty sick as well.
Um, so you'll enjoy that for sure.
And, yeah, let's see who wants to get up as a speaker.
We got Walk Me Moonsets.
We got Dami.
Nice, nice, nice.
I need to get this link out in one of my group chats.
It's very quick.
Thank you!
You want me.
And Tami, how are you guys doing?
Good evening, from Bali.
Hope you've been smooth.
James Colt, what's good bro?
Everything fine over here.
Congrats on the menu.
um i just i just yeah
thanks bro thanks okay can you hear me i think i'm logging i think i was working recently
we hear you perfectly fine okay i said congrats on the means bro like
to have 70 percent minted in the last 10 minutes that's like a bullish sign bro
yeah man that's absolutely bullish we're like at 72 percent right now so yeah man that's that's
pretty sick how long how long does the white list mean
how long the white list is going to last um if if that's your question 90 minutes so we have
one hour and 15 minutes left on the white list i think the majority already minted
it's like really mind-blowing man like like honestly when i think about it we had our first
purge um and 95 percentage of the people actually survived the purge which is like super bullish
right and i think like almost all of the people that are white listed or made like the final cuts
are already there and minting as well so i think that that anyone or like 98 percentage of the people
who have actually a dream list are going to mint and that's that's actually crazy that's actually
crazy i had like a lot of dms of people uh from the est time someone telling me that we're going
to wake up in the morning to set everything up uh we're like excited and they don't want to miss out so
shout out to you guys for for getting up early yeah yeah i mean i mean it's it's uh at the end of
course it's free money right so why wouldn't you not wake up at 5 a.m if someone is telling you yo you
might get like a couple hundred dollars right so um kudos to you guys things are looking good things
are looking very good very excited right excited
yeah this is like bringing the whole solana back you know with the bull and everything this is like
a long time now so yeah kudos to the whole team of scouts for making this happen you know
you're truly graceful you guys brought this back yes thank you brother appreciate that
though it's not all right
did you hear me yes sir i hear you yo i asked yeah since 75 percent or so have minted it's
not over located right because i'm actually outside i'm heading home to gaming right now

yeah yes sir you hear me

okay ray i'll get you up um as a co-host and i think josh should be up here right now as well oh yeah

yeah i am also at work but i'm gonna be in and out uh as often as i can
all right then do see i'll i'll turn you into a co-host when we have two co-hosts i think that

it's pretty sick so smooth that's uh yeah yeah it's so good 75 percentage yeah like the feedback
on on the minting experience has been very great so huge shout out to tayo as well uh we've been very
supportive with different preparation process we had a lot of things that were um very specific and
detailed that we've asked for and they've got it done um so huge shout out to the team over there
we're like you got chats when it comes to um yeah like launching a project so everyone who is looking
into uh getting a project out in the future definitely can push and recommend for tayo here yeah i don't
know if something got messed up whenever uh i got made co-host but i'm gonna step down and come back up i
cannot hear you oh sure yeah just do that
cool 75 percentage do do do do and if you're in here in the listeners thanks for joining us
and uh make sure to like retweet tell your friends join in on the fun let's get it done
exactly let's get it done let's see how many people are up here wow okay it's already 300 crazy last time
i've checked it was around 100 cool i think we can get things started then um we are at 75 percentage
minted and we've been preparing this for over one year so right now me personally i feel a lot of
relief and i think i can speak for the whole our team as well as the whole web 3 and discord team as
well we are like quite pumped and excited about this and the hype that we've been witnessing over the last
two three weeks has been absolutely mind-blowing man and we actually overheat everything that we had
set as as milestones at schools before mint so yeah man it's crazy like within four or five weeks on
twitter we've managed to get 33 000 followers the discord has 25 000 members the last time i've seen numbers
like these were actually in the previous peak nft bull run and even then it was very very very rare
but you were able to witness something like that so this is actually like really really crazy i think
the main reason is the art as well as the branding and just to touch on that real quick before we
explain a little bit more about our project art and branding are like so important when it comes to
collectibles or any business because it's the first interaction point between business brand and
customer or future holder right like when people see a logo when they see artworks for the first time
that's like the most crucial moment right either way wipe with it or we don't but if you manage to
create artworks that get most of the people um to to resonate with it you'll be you'll be able to to
return or convert a lot of people and then return them in your project right and i think that we
set a really really good foundation there and it doesn't come from nowhere because we've put in like
one year or almost one year of hours um into into the art as well right we have like 11 artists working on it
we have um two our locations here with our studio so we've used like our main resources over the last
six months to prepare that and yeah man like we're quite stoked about the output um we are quite stoked
about the hype that we are witnessing we are we are very happy to be able to give our artists the stage
that they deserve um and we're like also of course happy that we are like able to represent balinese
artistry in general right because all of our artists are from bali all of them are local artists so here
it's actually very very hard for them to get linked to um western clients to do for example commission work
and now we have a huge platform with sculpt with our studio to yeah showcase for talents and and that's
like the thing that makes me the most happy um because actually we were able to change 11 lives to a
better and that's that's like my biggest personal accomplishment right so very happy to see that and
yeah very very happy that you guys are all arriving as well with the artworks that you guys want to be
part of the sculpt um we have a lot of interesting stuff planned as well but yeah um we got a couple
of speakers up here as well we got um ray ray as well as stuffy and fossil the ruler from adsc who has
who have been long-term supporters so shout out to you guys you've been you've been um witnessing like
every single obstacle that we had to overcome to to be here where we are right now so you know what
we've been through and you know how much work we've putting into it how much effort have been put into
scald um and yeah and like huge shout out to you guys you have been very supportive you have been
advising us a lot of stuff um you've been getting your communities in as well and yeah kudos to you guys
we got juicy up in here as well um who has been a very early supporter as well uh we've been on a
couple calls talking about the plans that we have for scalds and the future that is coming with it right
and what we can do for the community so very happy to have you on here on the stage we got jiggyboy as
well as guy69 who are our community managers so we have been helping a lot with organizing discord as
well as other things so big shout out to you guys um josh especially to you because you've been
part of our journey for two years like you are like one of the one of my closest friends here in
web3 i've i've known you i've known you forever and you've been nothing but supportive all the time
so i really appreciate you jiggy you jumped in as a community manager like the first time and you've
been smashing it man like the community members we we all love you um we we appreciate you so
crudos to you uh we get our our official partner from sniper here as well um so sniper who's speaking
from your account is it you jared yeah mate it's me how's things going good going good were you able
to mint yeah man smooth as always tayo just kill the game all the time my guy so yeah minted dude and
dude it's it's you know luckily it's a raffle for public because it wouldn't last very long
if it was just first come first serve yeah yeah definitely so that's like the cool part
and um i think that's that's like another cool thing about tayo that you have the opportunity to do
like a fair launch right whatever moves to the public is a public raffle right so people can just
get tickets and then it will be ruffled among those ticket purchasers right and we won't have like
anyone who is spotting on a public supply which is pretty pretty cool about tayo um yeah shout out to
you guys from soul sniper as well happy to have you here on stage i'm happy to be able to collaborate with
you um it's been very very fun as well you've been in this space for quite a long time as well
non-stop building and the marketplace is pretty pretty cool so before we've jumped in our call
jared and you told me about the newest features for soul sniper i wasn't doing anything on soul sniper at
all and now i've moved everything over there so if if some of you guys haven't been on soul sniper yet
or haven't traded there yet just make sure to check it out it's like a very very smooth marketplace
with a lot of giga brains and chats behind it working on it retirelessly so yeah shout out to
you guys as well cool yeah jared go ahead i was gonna say i appreciate it dude and just wanted to
shout out to you as well um we connected a few weeks ago now and it might even be more than a month
ago now and uh just working with the sculpt team has just been nothing but a dream the whole way
along since our first interaction till now um haven't got nothing no bad words to say dude appreciate
everything you've done and uh man i can't wait to see what happens as as i always say the mince just
a lot of people think the mince the end of the project the mince the start and uh long road ahead for
sure also just quickly we have got um your banner and everything up i don't know if i sent you a dm but
i know you're flat out uh the banner and everything is up on sniper you go have a look at the artwork
for that banner absolutely awesome as always and uh dude i can't wait till it goes live on secondary
let's go let's go so sniper is probably going to be the first marketplace where you'll be able to
trade our collectibles um after we launch so yeah um we'll drop the links for that as well there
uh a huge shout out to the team there make sure to check it out um how do we want to proceed from
here um i have like i haven't organized this at all because i was quite busy and caught up with
the mint and preparations there so this is kind of freestyle what i want to do is i want to introduce
all of you to the sculpt and then i don't know we can just open up for a couple questions while we
are watching the mint leading up to the public raffle and let's see like how long we can get this
going we would like to move things after spaces into our discord because we have a couple of djs
uh prepared that are going to play some music um in our voice chat and we just want to wipe in the
discord with our early holders there and yeah um enjoy enjoy the mint party
but yeah i think let's talk about skulls right i think a lot of people are curious and i think a lot
of people still think that we are an art studio or art only project which is not the case right so
maybe it's a good opportunity to get all of you 400 people that are in here introduced to the sculpt
because obviously there's way way more behind it than you have been seeing so far in timeline
so yeah i'll start with myself my name is john i'm the co-founder of skulls i'm our web developer
as well as branding and art director and i've been like the front face of this for the past six
till eight weeks communicating in public and just representing um our studio as well as our general
brand and trying to give our artists the platform that they deserve so yeah that's me and talking
about skulls we initiated skulls around one year ago with the vision to inspire and to support people to
accomplish their dreams skull itself is the shortage for skull culture and our character actually aims
to display your afterlife personality and remind you that life is short we have been working on this
ip as well as character brand over the past year and these are going to be delivered as a freement to
the community and right now we are at 80 percentage minted which is absolutely mind-blowing everything
you can see so far from character design to memes animations every single content on our timeline as
well as discord website has been produced by our in-house art studio that has two our locations in bali
and currently employs 11 local artists so right now i'm speaking from one of our locations
i'm in the small office here um hosting the spaces while the artists are in the big workspace and working
on some content but it's going to be rolled out um during the raffle as well as postment so we're like
preparing that content schedule as well as other plans but yeah we've been locked in here for the last two
days um mainly i've been here for the last week i think i haven't been home at all um yeah just like
preparing all this shit our art studio team has worked with over 800 clients so far and it's a
profitable business so that is the main reason that allows us to roll skulls collectibles out as a
free mint and to utilize it to promote our art studio as well as explosive growth currently
we are at the mint phase before we have been building our community which we of course want to
continue building and curating and our community plays a huge role in our plans of creating and shaping
our identity because the collectible approach itself i would say it's a community empowered character
brand that we are trying to build um that is yeah like very heavily aligning on the models of
plainer source as well as pudgy penguins but obviously we don't have only collectibles we have been
also working on our web platform explosive growth over the past months which automates the processes of
brand building and parts of content creation this aims to support content creators personal brands
and businesses to build the brand within seconds and all these features on the platform are empowered
by ai tech also the platform itself has a solana infrastructure integrated which allows us to monetize
it via subscription models as well as pay per use the platform explosive growth will be accessible for
everyone sculpt collectible holders will be able to use specific features that help them to build a brand
and create content around our collectible ip also we will have free access to our media library which is
built into explosive growth so the media library is basically a huge content pool where our studio has been
contributing a lot of media that can be used for personal or commercial use by our collectible holders to
yeah continue building our brands creating content around our collectible ip uh we have general content
ready as well um that might be attractive for general people that don't have anything to do with the
collectibles themselves right the pilot project has been running with eight ira companies so those are
basically ira studio partners and companies um that have been using explosive growth to either overwork
or brand or create a new brand identity and the feedback has been very very great and with the next wave
we want to onboard personal brand and content creators to the vita version so basically we are focusing on not
feeding our holes with fish we want to teach them how to fish because we believe that this is a way more
sustainable approach when it comes to collectibles nfts and building a community we want to get all of you
closer to your dreams by providing a tech infrastructure a supportive community as well as inspiring content
and we think that there's no greater utility than getting people closer to their dreams and this is what
scald is about and you will hear me you will hear me um talking a lot a lot about our vision because
again the vision of scald is to inspire and to support people to accomplish their dreams and literally
everything that we have been planning designing and building serves this single purpose and we have been
doing a quite outstanding job in my opinion um managing this and i'm super super happy to roll this out
with the team over the next weeks and make this a huge success i think people still think that
it's it's a freemint and that means that it's like a deacon mint some pump and dump
shit but again like if you just look at the artworks themselves if you look at the branding if you look at all
the memes that we've been putting out if you look at all the animation videos that we've been putting out
if you look at our collectible website and our skull studio website and everything like how we've been
running it so far pre-mint this is not a fucking deacon mint and i want people to know that and i
don't want anyone to say that skull is a deacon just because it's free i mean we're like all of course
deacons at our hearts but we are delivering quality here and me personally i would love that our art
team gets the flowers for that and they get respected for that despite being a free mint right so that's
just like something i want to highlight there and yeah i think other than that people were having a
lot of fun so far and again jared just said it the mint doesn't mark the end it actually marks the
beginning of a project right so um we have a lot of stuff planned that are going to we have a lot of
plans that are going to be rolled out over the next weeks um leading up to certain events um everything
is scheduled in phases with our own content schedules and tech drops as well as um community features
and giveaways and events um that we think are are pretty pretty cool so very very stoked to yeah
get this journey started with all of you guys so that's basically it i mean i think we're like a lot
of questions regarding skulls i think there might be like a lot of questions regarding the mint as well
so we can just open up um the conversation here and you can yeah let us know how you feel about it um
give us some questions um let us let us know your thoughts and your feedback on the journey so far
and what you are expecting to see in the future and yeah we can just talk about that
cool let me check the mint as well while we get some speakers up here we are at 80 percentage
and we got 55 more minutes to go
all right the ruler how are you doing bro what's up john congratulations man what are we at 80
percent now or something we are at 80 percentage right now and i'm going to make a second announcement
in discord as well so people who might be just getting up know that the mint is ongoing
or don't don't tell him maybe more raffle tickets for us for public so don't be greedy bro i'm kidding
i'm kidding but no congrats man i actually it's my day off i woke up early for this and uh i checked
my wallet and my and mine looks like everybody else's so i would like a refund please no but uh
bro the reveal art the pre-reveal art alone if that's an indication of what's to come that's
incredible man that thing is a piece of art by itself i don't want to get rid of it so
thanks man i appreciate it yeah we've been putting a lot of work into
having a really cool cover artwork because we knew that a lot of people are very excited about the art
right so we wanted to give them something in between before we will be reveal the full collection
which is going to be in two to three days after the secondary market launch
love it love it also big big massive shout out to your team i see guy up here cob
jiggy you guys have been going through hell the last few days in discord but uh mad props for the way
you guys ran it the way you stuck to your principles and uh just embraced everything that came your way man
so massive massive shout out to all of you guys extremely bullish on what's to come
i appreciate the ruler yeah things were not easy uh within the last two weeks because we were witnessing
hype on a level that we were not expecting right so we were we we needed to pivot a little bit and
make adjustments we're like a lot of botters trying to get in right so we needed we needed to um
implement new security measurements there as well the purge was quite intense but it was needed
apparently um but yeah like we've been communicating all of this for
like all the time we've been saying that this is going to happen this is going to happen we've been
telling people to read as well to be careful there's like a purge and whatever and i would say like
i'm confident to claim that everyone who has following the rules or who has been following the rules
is on here right now happy or we have for nfts in the wallet right but we need to be strict
because there was a huge demand we're like only 666 collectibles so yeah um we're not able to
onboard everyone apparently but that's also what of course increases the value of the project right
if you have 30 000 people wanting to get in but you're only able to to allocate to 666 right so
yeah we've been doing our best i think the whole team has done like an outstanding job um there were
like a lot of complaints but again we just needed to be strict and yeah we've we've just we've just
stick to our principles along this whole journey you're right sorry john just really quickly if you
wanted to uh make marsod another co-host um because i think the speaker panel is filled up
yeah if you make another co-host uh you free up a spot
cool cool cool let's see let's get let's get sniper up
okay then let's get more set up here as well
uh i'm listen i'm gonna step down for now john too because i'm gonna lose reception i'll be back
though um so uh other people can step up sure we'll miss fun when collab man when collab
i'm happy that i don't have to answer these questions anymore dude it's been crazy the pre-reveal
art is so sick man everything you do in terms of art everything your team does in terms of art is so on
point man i was saying the other day to someone even if you delivered nothing else at all at this
point which i know you're going to but even if you delivered nothing else for me the art and i'm
not i don't just say this lightly because i like i like you as a person for me the art is the best art
i've seen on solana for a long time man like straight up bro but even if i wasn't like you know
even if i didn't mean any or even if i didn't know you i'd have the same opinion about the art man so
props to you guys for that appreciate that og yeah man we we've been yeah like i'm
still kind of mind blown by like the whole process from where we started with the character design to
its final execution and image that is going to be displayed as a collectible because as you say
like the artworks is outstanding um really really great and it attracts a lot of people right and i'm
pretty sure that we will see a lot of people changing their pfps and losing their blue check marks
for scott collectibles and that's fucking buddhist as well right so for for the next um six or seven
days um that's like the phase that we call manifestation we are mainly going to focus and
appreciate the art we're like 450 trades within the collection we're like more than 50 one by ones so
your chances actually to mint a one by one out of the collection are one percentage which is absolutely
crazy right so uh we're just going to appreciate the art we're going to see a lot of people flexing
on a timeline what we've been minting we are going to see a lot of new trades on the timeline that have
not been revealed at all yet in our marketing campaign as well as in discord so yeah i'm really
excited about that as well i'm really excited about the reveal i think that's going to melt faces
as soon as like the full collection is out there and you can see like hundreds of those collectibles
on the marketplace where like people are going bonkers and people are going to go for our favorite
traits and there are like a bunch of amazing traits besides the one by ones that we have been creating
as well right so again kudos here to the art team we've been smashing it and this is just the start
right there's like still a lot of content planned and prepared and yeah we're happy to roll that out as
well go ahead jared yeah it was just um someone in the comments had a question uh how long does the
public raffle go for the public raffle goes for three hours after it started yep sweet no worries at
all whoever whoever asked that question there you go there's the answer yeah thanks for bringing it up
so i'm just a quick heads up i just sent you i know you're probably mad busy but i sent you a dm
on discord just check it hopefully it doesn't concern you man but just check it anyway i won't mention
on here um but yeah man shout out to you guys i love your passion love how you know how much hard
work you put into it i can't change my pfp man because it's my pfp but i will be i will be shilling
those bags man on the um on the timeline 100 and i'm looking forward to seeing numerous other people
do the same man so i've got love for you i know chas loves art oh my well the members of my community
that managed to win a spot i'm massively grateful man they're all buzzing about your community as well
and what you guys are doing so yeah man enough respect to you guys thanks man really appreciate that
appreciate that where where is this let me check the screenshot that you've sent me really quick
uh in the meanwhile the ruler yeah and the other thing man uh i've seen a lot of cross-chain people
come into this project and want to mint so you guys did an excellent job for the exposure aspect of it
just getting a lot of different uh ecosystems to come over and look at solana me included so this is
actually my first mint on solana without having to go on a magic eden once i already missed somebody's
mint so i see a lot of hpar homies down there as well so shout out to you guys for joining us in
today's mint we appreciate and love you all and uh the public raffle just to follow up on that is uh
that's available to anyone still right so it'll be open for three hours for anybody to be able to buy a
raffle ticket right exactly yeah so anyone is able to buy a raffle ticket um there's no cap to it you
can just buy as much as you want the tickets are not refundable i've seen that question popping up as
well so you are buying to either win or lose on your own risk so just be aware of that but yeah that's
going to last for three hours and after that we are going to be on soul sniper first as well as the other
marketplaces and yeah what you've been saying the ruler that's like a huge accomplishment for us as
well and that's something that we have been aiming for to be able to onboard um people from other chains
and be the first solana project right because you always have like a certain kind or or a special
relation to the first project that you're minting on any chain right and i i can just like speak for
myself and i can i think like a lot of people feel like the same way like but i still know what my
first solana nft mint was and it was so stats for example right and i i had like i i held onto it for
too long i've minted it for for 0.25 soul and it pumped to 80 and i've missed to sell it when solana was
like around 200 so sorry 200 or more and then i just like held through it right i think i even still
have it on on on my wallet right so like that's like i still remember that and like you know the
source that artworks are are not um something that you would like to wrap as a pfp when it comes to
like a cool collectible project and that being your first mint on any chain i think you will have like
a special relationship to that and i can speak for um or i can tell what you've been saying the ruler is
very very true because we have a lot of people from hbar joining we also have a massive influx from eve
people coming in as well uh that are saying that we are the first solana project and we are of course
very very happy to be the gateway and first interaction point for all of those people on solana
and to represent solana here as well um and also just to touch on that i'm very happy for the solana
ecosystem in general as well because if you look at how things were looking in one year a bit one year
ago with all the ftx drama and where we are right now this is like really really great and cool for
the whole community that has been going through the worst right and right now solana slowly receives the
flowers that it's just better deserves and it's being recognized by a lot of people and we if we can
um carry something to that like we are of course happy to do that and i think we've already done it
yeah just quickly as well john um the collection has been verified on sniper so you can go and check
out that pre-reveal art uh dude as everyone said the flowers dude for that even the pre-reveal art
the amount of detail that's gone into it dude uh congratulations and um it looks so sick i can't
wait thanks man can't wait as well can't wait as well to snipe some collectibles on soul sniper as
soon as everything is sold out you'll be able to get your hands on that so make sure to open soul
sniper right now as well i will drop the link as well in the announcements pretty soon and you will be
able to yeah stack it up and increase your chances on a one by one or legendary um again where where
are like a lot of cool cool collectibles within the collection
nice okay let me see who else wants to come up as a speaker
i didn't know if you wanted me to bring people up i just like i can see all the requests and i'm like
i don't know if you want me to bring anyone up so i i thought i'd just leave that to you
i'm in the same boat uh let me see i cannot even see the requests anymore what the
fuck uh i can i guess i can bring a few people up that i sort of like you know at least they have
like pfps that are trustworthy do we have a speaker vetting process uh i'll trust your human judgment here
uh in the meanwhile the ruler and uh i just had a few dms come in so uh you'll be able to go on uh
soul sniper and uh be able to purchase the pre-reveal art as well you know what before it's been revealed
so you can go on there and actually purchase these and stack them up like you said hoping that one of
them gets revealed as the 101 is that true yes as soon as the collection is minted out it will be
listed on soul sniper and you'll be able to trade there as well as on other marketplaces so you can
stack up and you can collect and you can increase your chances to get your hands on something very
very cool but yeah i think that like looking through the the generation process where we are at right now
uh we still need to make some final touches but the output that we are like able to generate when i look
through 100 pieces all of them are looking fucking outstanding even like the normal ones are looking
very very cool so yeah i think um we're we're like a lot of traits that um that are made for uh
a lot of various people and their interests so a lot of people will be definitely happy
yeah appreciate that sorry for these new questions like i said i'm pretty new to the ecosystem so it's
very very different from hbar hbar the ones the nfts are minted then you can see it you can't even
pre-trade it or anything like that so this is pretty damn dope and uh do you have any crown
traits in this collection i think i saw one 101 right yeah we got a crown trait yes sir yeah let's go so
anybody mince that you better hit me up in my dms thank you
chess what's up good morning good morning yeah i just want to ask you because you know i'm not too
active in discord these days do uh do holders even know how much of an insane builder you are yet
do holders know what sorry said it again chess i've missed that part you know how much of an insane
builder you are yet i'm not sure about that but i know that you definitely know as well as ray so
and og and all the people that are up here speaking um we know what what we had to overcome to to get
to this point so yeah man i'm very i'm very happy man yeah i'm very happy congratulations bro i love you
man i love you too bro appreciate that appreciate it if you don't know now you know
yeah and i think like those people that have been or have have known us for for a long time again they
know what what obstacles that we had to overcome and they know like how much efforts we are putting
into getting this out you know and when we were talking or telling those people that this is going to be a
freeman um we were of course surprised right because it was it was connected to a certain risk right
like what would happen if we are not able to to manage to get the hype that we are receiving right
now right like what if we are like not so where it's like not so much volume going on the secondaries
right that would mean that um a lot of the work that we've been preparing might have been for nothing
but we were like so confident in going that route that we said yeah just just let's it man like
just going for freeman will be fun you know we will be like saints because we are giving out money to
people we've spent like 30 on marketing which would have not been possible if we would have been like
a payment right so like all we've done is paying ten dollar for twitter blue subscription as well as
paying twenty dollar for um our our website host today because the test version the free test version
was not able to handle the amount of visits that were made so yeah um it was a risk but i think like
at this point we can claim that it paid out to go that route and it's been a crazy journey and again um
jared's words here this is not the end at all this is basically the beginning of everything so
excited very excited and very happy your stuffy go ahead
uh what's going on uh just man want to give you your formal flowers um for anybody that doesn't know um
we're after dark social club um it's not about us though i just want to say like we've been um working
with john and his team of artists in studio um for quite a while and some some of the art that you
like the female pfps you see um are also from his studio like we've been really bullish on on
the art studio but we know you got other stuff cooking as well um so i just want to uh say you
know like i'm so happy to see um you know like this day come i know i know you've been working
fuck for over a year at this point then on this um so it's really nice to to see it kind of fruition
and i do also want to shout out sniper up here like not just for the you know for sniping sculpt um
buying anything on secondary on solana like that's the that's the platform to use just for because i
know there's a lot of people who are new to soul um but the way the ui is uh first of all it's an
aggregator so you'll get the best price for any collection you're trying to uh scoop up but the
way they have the ui set up like you can snipe rares and and it's meant for sniping um so easy
so i just want to show you guys out like you guys have been a a great platform so uh this partnership
is also amazing to see no i appreciate it dude um yeah man i like you know got onto john very early
there and uh lock that in because when you see when you see the art and you see the effort uh
they're the sort of you know partners that we want to get involved with and we want to uh you know do
work with you know you see a lot of let's say uh rubbish come through the space and you sort of like
when you see real talent and real effort um they're the partnerships that you want to be with so dude as
said at the start it's been nothing but fun and uh nothing but a dream to work with john and the team
there so yeah yeah and i and i love that you guys um recognize that early because i know i'm aware a
lot of people uh i'm not going to mention names but i know people faded john and sculpt um you know
because uh it's not hype and uh you know they didn't have the clout yet and now i'm sure that they're
all regretting it so um that takes business acumen you know i i respect that hustle to uh um to to
trust your gut and to go with quality man and it pays off so yeah man kudos to both you guys
thanks man i appreciate that yeah man it's been it's been a crazy ride um and yeah i'm like very
happy that that team gets the flowers that it deserves and i'm i'm very happy that we were able
to cooperate with so many cool people and projects um along the way um that are really recognizing what we
have been building so shout out to you guys as well uh because you have been nothing but supportive
along the journey and you've been believing in this from its very beginning and it's very early
stages and yeah been definitely a fun journey so far and a lot of great things are still about to come
and again yeah um stuffy from adsc just said it um the female pfps that you see for example
on ray race account are our studio productions as well um the vampire artworks so actually my girlfriend
is working on those for the adsc team um and she has been smashing it there as well um like all the
feedback that i've been seeing from the adsc community has been nothing but positive so we are
of course able we are of course happy to be to to be like um to be able to to get like cool pfps out
in cooperation with adsc on hedera as well go ahead ray i think you had your hand up uh i was throwing
my hand up just so that people would would know that it's me to look at my pfp but uh smart your team
is um and like snipers said your team is an absolute dream to work with to work alongside um we you know
we've we've made revisions and we've worked together and you guys have been there and helpful
throughout the entire process to this point um and i i can't thank you enough and like you said man
we've really really believed in your vision everything that you've done to this point and it's paying
dividends for everyone everyone in the community um solana the entire solana ecosystem as a whole
you you've really you've pushed the paradigm and you've made waves you've made waves today man this is incredible to see so
really really happy to know you to be to call you a friend and uh to be here with you today show support
yeah man definitely like likewise bro like thank you ray thank you for all of your support
and for all the love we would not be here without you guys as well so huge shout out and crudus to you
love all of you for sure um josh i just what's up bro sorry sorry go ahead can i just really quickly
say if anybody needs our hit up the skull studio just get to the back of the line my friends
no no no no no no no no no no no no no please please please don't hit us up for the next four
weeks or something we're we're not we're not able to to do that right now hit up guy 69 specifically
yeah yeah yeah dm die for any small inquiries or needs if you missed whitelist if you go there's still
he's still giving them out just dm i just i just i just want everyone to know that uh that my dms are
where messages go to die so if you dm me there's a high high possibility that i will not check it for
at least two weeks and that's mainly because i just won't do it
i just want to shout out to chaz and the ruler for being here uh the ruler how was your first
mental in solana man let's hear it man i woke up early for this and it just lasted five seconds man
i feel i feel rugged to be honest i was hoping some glitches or something
no man it was so damn smooth bro i was like what the hell this is it i can go back to sleep now no
boom john is like no let's do a mint party on on the twitter so here i am man now smooth as hell so
every time i think and i hate to say this that h4 has the best infrastructure in place
i go to one of these mints one of your uh launch pads whatever it might be in solana i'm like damn
we still got a long way to go so man smooth as hell appreciate you guys having me appreciate the
my mint just lasted a week man a fucking week bro you guys minted out in about
what was it like i don't know and what what we're doing in ordinals fam come back to solana i'm only
joking but yeah man yeah or what it takes like three months for the reveal to happen
about five months bro about five months painful yeah wait can you guys hear me i i don't know if
i'm if i'm rugged no you're all good we got you we got you cool cool cool my dad was just calling
i think i was muted for a second um but yeah like for for the other ecosystems especially hedera
solana was not always like this right so way or like the whole community and the whole developer
community put in like a lot of efforts to create this ecosystem and user experiences that we are able
to use today right and i can speak for the solana ogs then solana nft space what it was at its very
beginning things were like very very rough like very very rough and very very different to what
we are today and yeah man just like seeing solana evolving so fast over the past two years is
definitely mind-blowing and we are we are definitely happy to be able to build on solana the whole
platform um explosive growth has again a solana infrastructure right and we want to enable um paper
use for example or subscription models where people are able to use a smooth user experience uh with
low transaction fees that are going almost towards zero um yeah to to utilize and use our application so
yeah solana for us was a no-brainer but again it it wasn't always like this a lot of people have put a
lot of hard work into getting it to what it is right now yeah and that's that's like the thing
about communities right so again like we are not trying to build a business here the business is
already running like we have our our art studio that is already running that is already profitable
that helps us to back um what we are doing with the collectibles the collectibles are to build a community
and by going for a community-empowered brand like you guys are the ones that are important and we
want to um offer you an infrastructure that you are able to utilize um to to build like your own
personal brand for example to create content around skullt or even if it's not skullt you will be able
to use those platforms and tools that we are developing to create i don't know like like any personal brand
that you want to create to so if you want to be like for example a football content creator
or a fitness a person personal brand or whatever you can utilize explosive growth for that as well
but when it comes to collectibles and again this is like why why we think community is so important
looking at the solana ecosystem it was shaped by its people right like obviously there's like a solana
foundation developer team as well as people who are working with with the labs themselves right but the
whole ecosystem as well as like all products that we are able to use today and that bring a lot of
joy to the people are delivered by actually community members that decided to stay on solana and to
participate and to contribute and to build right and same applies for the scouts so we want to
be like the infrastructure provider right we want to give you a certain setup and then we want to
motivate you to use that setup and infrastructure to thrive our ecosystem and community in part
character brand right and that's like a very similar approach that um pudgy is running very successful
and um same approach applies um on solana right now for clanosource so that is like the general
direction where we are heading for collectibles and again a community super super important for our
identity and for the future of our ecosystem and character brand cool let me see if we got like
other speakers i'm confused by by twitter spaces to be honest sometimes i can see the speaker requests
sometimes i cannot see them right now i cannot see them so uh ray ray or jared if you want to get some
people up uh feel free to do so yeah uh the issue we've got is that we got too many people on the stage so
uh we might have to start kicking people at some point oh no i'll drop down man i'll come chill with
you guys later on uh yeah much love man have a great day thank you i'll also jump down uh i'm gonna be
doing calls anyway but i'll be listening shout out to you john excited man thanks much love brother
cool cool now we got some space oh that's the reason why i cannot see it huh so once the speakers
are filled up you're not able to drag people up okay that makes sense
cool i'll start uh i'll just start bringing people up so it's all good john give me a sec i'll bring them
up sure of course in the meanwhile let me check where we at right now we got 25 more minutes to go
85 percentage i just announced it again oh at least 15 percentage right now up to public supply
okay yeah but still 24 minutes man most likely gonna hit at least 90 right yeah hopefully i would
hope so for a lot of people to be honest
cool yeah a lot of people are in the dms i'm not able to answer everything right now because uh
i need to monitor other things um regarding the mint i'll get back to you
as soon as i'm able to dms have been a mess uh within the last weeks go ahead jared i was gonna say
i'll just pull breads up welcome breads how are you oh i'm good i'm very excited for this got my
got my three and uh yeah i'm glad to see that it's going so well let's go
i'm scultish baby very scultish embrace the fucking skulls embrace it yeah i love it i love it
well i have a question for you um and i'm sure this has been a pretty crazy experience i mean
we've built it for a while but it feels like things have really got you know picked up pace in the last
week or two and i wanted to ask like what you know what do you have any big takeaways from this
experience you know free mint is a lot i think a lot of people think that like free mint is a
guaranteed mint out and you know salon is pumping a lot of activity but uh i'm wondering if there's
anything that's stood out to you as you know something maybe something you do better or something
that you're happy that you did do yeah i would love to hear about that yeah that's a great question
i think both both things apply right like we had lessons that we have learned and also we had um
great accomplishments that made us really proud um when it comes to accomplishments i think like i
cannot talk about what things were going on in my dms but there was like some really shady
going on that was actually bullish uh that me personally as well as the team like the core team
who who have seen the screenshots uh was was very happy about um so we're like we're like things
like that but when it comes to accomplishments that we're like able to talk about um that's
definitely the interest from ethereum right so that's that's like very very cool um to be able to
attract so many people from there and be the first solana project right so uh we're like very proud
about that um also the projects that have been requesting from eve are like the biggest projects over
there right so we have like a lot of pudgy people we have um a lot of azuki beans people um the biggest
eve one by one and alpha dows requested for collapse as well um and like the the requests that we've
been getting from there have been quite overwhelming um we've been also in touch with a lot of great
people over there that really liked um our artworks we have been shouting us out on the timeline
we got mooky up here or down here for example who has been very supportive um ali i think is not in
the space here right now but he has been chatting with me in the dms quite a lot has been showing a
lot of love has been supporting us a lot as well so shout outs to to a lot of guys there and while
this is being our biggest accomplishment i think this is like where we had the biggest issues um
regarding whitelist collaborations so most of the whitelist collaborations on ethereum are handled via
alpha bot and that is a bigger headache than on solana for example with server and atlas and the biggest
mistake that i've made personally was hiring a cross-chain collaboration manager without vetting him
appropriately and what happened is we had a certain max allocation per collaboration manager and we've
allocated him x y sent x y set amount of whitelist spots to allocate to eve communities and he went ahead
and yeah just just screwed it basically and he allocated like oprah like you get whitelist you get whitelist
you get whitelist and whatever and we ended up like having um a huge spreadsheet where our actual
number was um overextended by far so it was a huge headache to get all the peoples involved um that had
let's just made raffles and colorations going on with that cm but yeah we've tried to onboard everything
and everyone that we were able to onboard um we're like still some communities that were apparently missed
out so very sorry for that but that goes on on my head um for not vetting team members properly so
that's something that i want to pay attention more in the future um most of our team has been vetted very
very properly right because i know those people for a long time or we're coming in and referral and we
just want to keep it like that right um that's that's very crucial and that was definitely a learning
experience here as well um but yeah at the end like we're like happy to have all those eve people
in as well we were happy if you've made it we're happy if you have your collectibles in the wallet
as well and we are happy to be um your first to honor project so that's that's a really cool accomplishment
there thanks for sharing that's a that's a cool perspective you don't hear very often from uh
uh someone who's just minted out they actually you know what that's that actually makes sense
event met your team sorry to hear about the collab manager uh hey morning i wonder is there's anything
that you was there anything that you did uh you know especially well regarding like the culture the
community you know that something that you did i was very impressed with the website and the discord
i think a lot of people were and i'm wondering you know is there anything that's that you've got a lot
of compliments on that you feel like really made a difference in cultivating the vibes
yeah that's that's not a great question i think i think like the most important thing for for most
successful businesses as well as web free projects is having a clear vision because if you have that you're
like able to derive your whole business identity and everything that is tied to it um from that right
um again our vision is to inspire and to support people to accomplish their dreams so of us whenever
we make a business decision or try to create like a moral compass for our brand we are referring to that
brand vision right and um that was one key the other key is of course communication right like if you want
a cult to be taken over by the people you have to be out there and communicate it to the people right
and you have to tell them that this is like the way we want it to be right if you with this this is
this is what you have to do or this is what you can do to contribute to it and to help shaping it right
so what we always do is um of course you want to give our our community and members uh freedom
but that freedom needs to happen within a certain context that aligns with our brand vision right and
that requires communication um a lot of communication and i think that we have done a great job there
um and we had like we had like a lot of simple slogans so we try to keep it simple on the promotion
side of things as well right whenever you read embrace the skull that was like one of our campaigns
we had joined the skull that was one of our campaigns now we have manifest the skulls right
that is like one of our campaigns so we've tried to keep it as simple as possible for people as well
right um so i think easy user experience is key as well so if we recap it um clear business and brand vision
communication as well as what was the last one i already forgot sorry man i'm so tired actually
uh as well as the last one that i've been talking about for a second ago so those are like the free
keys that i would say um helped us to create this cool culture at its very early beginning obviously
this is going to be shaped even more in the future
cool thank you for answer um i don't know if you're announcing at all what the next steps are
for the sculpt but um but when moon
soon brother soon moon soon moon we have a lot of exciting things planned um pretty sure you're going
to be stoked about that again for the next days we're going to to drop uh certain informations out
there and and we'll tease people a little bit but we want to use the manifestant manifestation phase that
has just started um to highlight artworks as well as branding as well as the art studio as well as the
collection with its 450 trades and 50 one by ones right so we'll see like um us on a timeline for quite
a while we'll see a lot of people changing our pfps look pretty confident about that so that's what we
want to focus on for the next week while teasing other things of course
ray you had your hand up as well uh yeah i just wanted to say that you guys were really tapped in
like something as small as hand drawing memes uh in the in the form of sculpt it goes a long way
yeah memes are very powerful and that was like one of our uh one of our main focuses creating the
marketing campaign we wanted to have cool memes that are basically replaced with our characters
right and the feedback that we've been getting on those has been pretty pretty cool at the same time
we're like able to um evolve our character brand and character brand ecosystem up towards memes as well
i think anyone who remembers um before we actually witnessed all this hype we had a fake meme coin launch
campaign as well where we've utilized three or four memes of our content tool and we were like able to
i don't know like get close to 2000 followers within 24 hours just by by using the memes so those are
like very very powerful um another thing is that this guy what is his name andreas pompliano uh one of
the biggest crypto traders out there he tweeted two or three weeks ago that you don't need any marketing
budget if you're able to create cool memes or funny memes and he was absolutely right about that so
yeah memes are definitely our go-to move for sure and we have a lot of memes um in the pipeline that
we haven't revealed yet so those are going to be fun as well and those are going to be revealed uh
within the next days actually
so yeah actually i would like to say if you want a meme um just hit up skull studio but right now we're
like so busy with things but please don't hit us up uh we'll be quite busy with this for for uh one
month um and then things are easing up in our schedule and then we'll be able to produce for
other people as well as projects in the space that are interested
cool so who we got whatever man whatever man what's up good evening yo good evening and it's good
morning for me i'm on the east coast uh in toronto canada and this is my first uh solana mint in
probably two years three years i i can't even remember it's been that long um fun fact i'm an eth maxi but
i actually started with nfts on solana um and yeah it's crazy it's crazy time has flown by i uh that was my
first ever nft experience on solana and then i became an eth maxi after that uh sadly unfortunately
but i'm back i'm back baby and this was a great way to be back and the the art is it's it's wild it's
wild um you know one of the the things is i i i won't lie ali was one of the people that uh kind like
that's kind of how i saw this this uh project to be quite honest because he's a friend of mine i met
him and all that stuff in london um but then the more i saw the the art after that i was like yo this
is crazy the art here is absolutely bananas and one of the things that people forget about nfts um
there's a there's a cool sense of tribalism too right and a lot of that is is kind of very similar i was
talking to my wife the other day and it's very similar to the way that we uh treat fashion you
know like um you go and you wear a brand because you want to associate yourself with a brand like
why would somebody buy a gucci bag as an example because other people are buying a gucci bag and you
want to be like oh i'm a part of that crowd or somebody that's wearing jordan shoes you you might not
even play basketball but you you want to be a part of that fashion style and stuff so sculpt gave me
that vibe because i was like there's the the tribalism here is built uh differently and a lot
of the stuff that i was seeing oh and by the way the discord was bananas it was bananas that discord in
the sculpt discord made me feel like yo the bull run this is it's back it's back and this is the last
thing i want to say guys um my brother has been away from the nft space for probably um two two years
like he just literally just left and this project kind of brought him back so um he had whitelist um
he won from a giveaway and um he was the one that was in the discord and he was like bro what's going
on i feel like the bull run like this is this is like what the last bull run felt like and i was
like yeah bro this is is heating up um we're here so congrats on all the success um i'm super happy
to have minted um shout outs to everyone that is here for the ride and yeah i can't wait
dude man let's go man thanks for those kind words really appreciate you happy to have you
within the community as well man it's going to be a fun ride and as you see as you say like the
the tribalism about skulls it's going to be very cool and we have a lot of a lot of things planned
actually that are just going to carry towards it right so again this is like at its very beginning
but there's already like a culture ongoing within the skull right and that's like oh we
all we try to accomplish um and to manage and and we've we've done it right so i'm i'm very stoked
about that when it comes to like a long-term long-term vision like how i see the community
i call it the mr b's community approach because we want to communicate our vision over and over again
inspire and support people to accomplish their dreams and we want to like we want other people
to take that over as well right and like ideally what would happen um if we're like able to to provide
the infrastructure that we've been designing and building for a long time we want people out there
creating content in a mr b style right so we are for example going out and going to the orphanages
or schools and just i don't know like getting people or kids like bicycles or toys making content
under the brand of skull right just like um just like creating some stuff and content for for that
culture that we are like trying to to establish right at the same time of course like and this
is like why this vision is so powerful right because anytime we are able to get someone closer
to their dreams or help them to actually accomplish it with either the infrastructure or the community
that we are like providing that means that we are like the main reason for them to have actually
accomplished their dreams which is actually very powerful for us to create further content from
that right and it also builds a closer relationship between um holders to the actual brand right because
anything that we are trying to accomplish we are trying to accomplish it together where it's like
a supportive community where it's an infrastructure that helps you with defining for example a dream
committing to it building a personal brand around it and then just go out there and
fucking pursue it with our infra as well as the community and when you get there bro it's going
to be like a fun party every single time before within our community and that's what what i envision
for the community side of things that i would like to see maybe unfolding within one year from here
where we're like able to recap and look back at 2024 and see actually like who we were able to
to either get closer to the dreams or have them actually to accomplish it right so
that's how i'm envisioning like the community side of things specifically
and yeah again happy to have you on board man
let's go i had to say that let's go i don't know if we're allowed to swear here but
it is what it is i'm hyped i'm hyped let's go let's get some coffee up in here let's go
that's the energy that we need man let's go ray ray what's up i just really wanted to quick
quickly wanted to say toronto in the building what up wait wait wait who said that because i need to
follow who said that what me my guy right right let's go let's go let's go solana toronto next
week bro if you're in town wait what yo ray but you always tell me toronto sucks when you're driving in
traffic yeah like like come on now
yeah we do that too absolutely but here's another thing right here just imagine this is this is what
i was talking about the tribalism stuff right like uh i was here because of skulls because i'm minted
and then all of a sudden you're telling me i might have a new homie here that's cool that is the power of
skulls right here we've seen it and we are experiencing it and we might even brag about it
because when ray and i meet each other we'll probably post about it so this is sweet and it the friendship
will always be known to be like yo where did you meet that person and it's like oh there was a sculpt
mint party and we were just there we minted it's et cetera et cetera so this is pretty cool having
people come together for a common cause a common purpose sweet i love this let's go
let's go let's go that sounds like the beginning to a hallmark movie in my opinion though like i'm a
little more concerned with uh with the fact that you guys might be falling in love it's real love bob
i don't know sound real jealous guy sound real jealous man i am i'm not even gonna hide it
oh damn uh sorry i just need to drink some water real quick yeah i'm happy to initiate any love
story within our community man um that's definitely cool um i think that ray race is definitely neat as
well so whatever um if you if you can show him some love he he's kind of desperate oh jokes aside i think
like honestly like what you guys are talking about are like the main reasons why we are here
right and it doesn't matter like on on what chain we are like all of us are here either to make friends
right to enjoy the time that we are like having in here to build or of course to make money right but
that applies like for any chain so being here on solana with you guys and going for these goals and
making those relationships within our community makes me personally um very very happy because
that's of course one of our goals as well so very very happy to hear that and something that is very
undervalued within the space right the community aspect is is apparently very very undervalued i mean
again like a lot of a lot of us are here for the money as well but i see for example a lot of jumpy
people that would like to go from project to project right just go mint flip and go to the next one
and we're just like do it over and over again and i don't think that this is like the way to go to be
successful within the space and if you look at the people that are actually successful within the space
all of them have their fucking home base we have their communities we have their networks right they were
like interacting providing information and knowledge and then of course um using informations and knowledge
within those communities as well yeah to i don't know go hunt alpha check out new communities or whatever
right so if you stick around one place and if you contribute and participate in my opinion your chances
are higher to actually make it while at the same time having way more fun within the space right so
that's just my two cents on that yo we got chef up on here let's fucking go wait let me drag you up chef
one second one second habibi
yeah i got you all right um so i got chef up in here and huge shout out here to chef who has been
very very supportive from the very beginning um we've been calling quite a lot we've been talking about
yes sir i'm i'm giving you a proper introduction and love right now
what's up man you can hear me all right i'm uh i'm kind of in a bad uh internet zone i guess you could
say i hear bro do you hear me awesome hell yeah yeah man hey here we are man congrats congrats on this
this is all you man does you deserve this uh this this this light shining upon you right now uh it's so
amazing to see all so many people in the spaces right now and it's freaking even more amazing to hear
uh so many uh so many people that um that have this as their first solana mint you know i just you
know blew my mind when i when i uh when i heard some of that you know uh just fantastic you know couldn't
couldn't have asked for a better project to to onboard people to uh to solana you know just fantastic
stuff man how are you doing dude thank you chef man uh i really appreciate that and you deserve
your flowers as well because you have been supportive all the time you've been helping
for a lot of stuff as well i really appreciate you as a human being and i'm very grateful that that you're
part of the scout as well man um you've been helping us a lot so shout out to you and again like it's
it's not it's not just about me obviously we're like so many people behind this um all of them
deserve for flowers because without all of them we would not be here right now and we would not be
able to celebrate this right so jeff uh josh cop who's up in here as well as our partners from adsc
and sniper as well as all the mods collaboration managers um artists that are not up in here all of
them deserve for flowers because all of them have been contributed to our our success
that's awesome man um can you still kind of hear me a little bit yes sir yes sir we're here all right
cool so i'm gonna keep it short because i think i'm i'm rugged i can barely hear uh a lot of a lot of
what's being said but uh you know just a quick story uh for everyone who's listening um yeah like you
know the the way i i met john and this project um i mean you know i've been in the space now you
know about two years and uh i've seen a lot of stuff i've seen a lot of a lot of drama a lot of uh he
say she say kind of things and um you know there was definitely a lot of fun around around uh john and
the project and stuff and you know this is why it's so important to just kind of do your own research
and know that there's just kind of two sides to every story and um you know again doing a little
bit more digging through and seeing how responsive john was to all of the fud coming his way how how uh
how approachable he was how open he was to having constructive conversations of of you know and let's
say in a certain way of of writing some some wrongs um you know i just really took uh took inspiration to
that you know um i think um you know um you know if if you have nothing to hide you know just bring it
all out on the table and and that's what i i i that's the feeling i i got from john and um after that
we just kind of started talking and um and and one thing led to another you know and i'm really grateful
for uh you know for the opportunity to be able to kind of uh you know steer john uh very very little
uh through through this whole journey uh but um it's it's been an absolute blast and um just super
proud of you man and uh you know just really looking forward to uh what's what's to come
appreciate it chef really appreciate it man much love to you you've been nothing but supportive
helping for a lot of stuff and yeah yeah you know what's what's been going on and yeah like we've
been talking about it right like like the only way to prove people wrong is by by doing it you know just
like by executing what you've been planning before and just um silence them right like that's like the
the only way to go where's like no no reason for us to fight against or discuss you know without any
any any yeah like i don't know like the best way is just like build shit execute it and then you have
the best evidence right and that's what we have done that's what we have accomplished by now i would
say and that's what yeah it's it's not stopping here so looking forward for the future um with you as well
chef and next year breakpoint singapore bro as well as bali afterwards uh cannot wait man i cannot wait
uh hope to see a lot of people in this space over there and uh we're gonna have a lot of fun man
this is gonna be a great year for everyone it's gonna be a fantastic year so all the best and i'll
i'll leave the platform to someone else much love everyone yes sir thanks much love to you as well chef
cheers yeah just a couple of things obviously the uh the whitelist part of the mint has has finished
and the public raffle is now open so go and get your raffle tickets um just had a quick look there
in the first five minutes there's been 3 000 tickets sold so dude it's absolutely flying what the
dude are you serious yeah man yeah it's gonna like it's got 30 seconds to go for five minutes in and it's
29 28 tickets and they're like bouncing by 30 and 40 each time so yeah just clicked over 3000 then so
lots of tickets happening there go and go and get them um man i'm gonna have to i'm gonna have to uh
to duck off um thank you for having me up here man um dude can't wait to see you go live on secondary
it's gonna be awesome yes sir man jared thank you as well for being here thanks for partnering up
and thanks for all the stuff that you are building over there for the ecosystem of soul sniper um you
deserve a huge shout out and again guys make sure to check out soul sniper follow the soul sniper
account here follow jared as well on his personal account and make sure to try soul sniper because
in my honest opinion it's the best marketplace that is out there right now
i appreciate the flowers dude and um just before you uh duck off the day in our discord dms there's a
few dms in there so have a nice day night everyone and um yeah hopefully everyone snipes those rares
catches let's go
oh all right cute um shit i need to i've missed what the mint actually ended let's see
i think i need to get some announcement out as well in the meanwhile yo
what do we do from here actually i think we're like a couple more speakers um ray do you have time
to get them up i will yes i've actually added a couple whoever i can and if you've cool already
asked questions and uh you don't have any further if you could step down that would be appreciated so
we can get everybody up here get everybody a chance to ask any questions they may have
cool nice thank you brother in the meanwhile i'm going to look into discord and announce a couple
things there um and yeah um whoever is coming up feel free to ask any question or give any feedback
and i'll be happy to
did he run no i think he just muted his mic
yeah yeah i just muted very john i have i have one question uh is it too late for me to get whitelist
no no you can you can josh you can just uh get like a face tat right now and i'll airdrop you five
no i'm good
i don't think you should be tempting people with a good time you're gonna see some face tats
but we had people shave s's into the back of their head we had three people get a tattoo man i think we're
back yeah man i almost forgot about dead we're actually like three people that got like a tat
i mean that's the most bullish indicator that is out there where it's like nothing more you need to
do people getting tats for whitelist but like to be honest like most of the tests look insane
like but those are like tats i would consider to get as well you know like sometimes i've been seeing
people getting like ass tats for whitelist but the ones that i've seen for sculpt jesus christ
we are looking actually good yo whatever go ahead bro i saw the uh i saw the tat where um the the
somebody literally tatted the whole bitcoin one um it was a sneak peek and i was like holy
shit this is insane like i don't i don't know how people do that uh but it it's it just shows a lot
of conviction for the project um wait somebody's speaking over me but uh yeah we can hear you speak
yeah yeah we got you we got you uh go ahead
yeah obsidian i think it's you um we were we were hearing you but now you're muted again so give it
one more try okay okay you're hearing me before okay i have to confirm uh the um public raffle it's
going to be random picking the ticket right or is it the highest amount of tickets we win who get the uh
distance the airdrops so as far as i know is like each ticket has the same chance obviously you can
increase your chances by buying more tickets but uh that that um doesn't mean that like if you buy 100
you you will get more than someone who buys one right it's still like randomized it's fair chances
so it's not like i think like you're asking if someone buys for example 200 tickets and he has
like the most tickets out of everyone who's buying tickets he will get uh definitely a mint um if that's
the if that's the question that's that's not the case it's totally randomized all right thank you
sure actually relax oh bro we're like almost we minted 85 percentage invite this phase
so we're right now 1 000 left for public jesus christ wow a lot of people did not mint that's crazy
yeah over 4 000 raffle tickets bought man this is insane
bro they didn't they didn't want to wake up man we told them wake up but they said nah i'm good
they're the same ones buying the raffle tickets right now probably too
yeah maybe and then i know i know stealthy's probably bought some raffle tickets
because uh he likes just likes to degen he doesn't care he's probably bought a bunch fossils probably
bought a bunch too listen man i just bought them i just used the last of my solana on it so let's go
brave you bought any raffle tickets i bought 50 i have not but i'm going to now
50 tickets marsod you're a mad man
i bought five i'm gonna win it with five watch i'm a professional
it says here 975 nfts left over so odds are pretty good one and four right now i'll take it
all right all right all right he definitely rocked that time
john there he is we hear
shit i was scared for a second i think i thought that the whole space almost rocked because my
my uh twitter was crashing but yeah okay
no you're good you're back and i see we got cara on stage too did you have a question for john or
anything like that
hello hey cara can you hear me yes how are you doing
thank you i'm good uh actually this project is my first solana nft
happy and i just won uh in uh misfits giveaway and it's really great i'm really bullish on your project and just
vote some ticket and i hope uh win more scots scots and that's just it i'm really happy to be a part of this project and
i think it's gonna be such a cool project
thank you cara i appreciate that for sure and we are of course happy to have you in our community as well
um yeah man uh cool you won like actually one of the backpack raffles i guess right from ordinal misfits
yeah yeah it's right i'm born from raffle um misfits project
dude that's pretty cool actually we had a partnership with og dads club who has been speaking up here like
a couple minutes ago as well um so you were able to get your hands on some of the sculpt collectibles by
minting a backpack um so we had like a raffle going on there as well and a lot of
bitcoin uh family members made it made their way into scald that way which is actually cool as well so
yeah man happy to have you within our community
yeah for me too i'm so happy to be here too
thank you for this school project
thank you for being a cool community member let's fucking go all right who who else do we got up
here um but yo but it's been a fucking while how are you doing man i'm doing good doing good happy uh
happy to see everything going good for you um
i'm just watching the the tickets just fly um i don't know who who said something they made a
comment about it being at like 300 and it's like 4500 or i mean 3000 excuse me um but yeah no awesome
i just remember i'm having conversations like way forever ago when you like first invited me into the
discord server and it's just really cool to see how everything's grown and the conviction in oneself
like means more than anything else in the world and yeah i got my one mint um i'm gonna buy a couple
raffle tickets as well and probably like five or six you know i got a match guy maybe just get like
one more than him just because and yeah but fucking super super dope just happy to be here and happy for
you guys yeah but that's all
oh yeah and i've been up all fucking night waiting to mint because this 8 a.m. shit so like
i'm cool with it i'm 100 cool with it but i'm one of those weird people from est that stays up till
like 4 a.m. so i'm like i can't go to bed at like 4 to 5 a.m. i have to commit to the 8 a.m. so
now i've just been on the twitter space and i'm vibing so we'll see what happens
sorry john sorry john is probably in the discord right now making some announcements
posting a few things shit no i was fucking muted man i was speaking all the time
what the fuck honestly like my biggest weakness is multitasking i i cannot do multiple things at
the same time so hosting spaces while coordinating a fucking mint and raffle it's it's a headache man
it's it's a headache honestly but yeah but uh thank you appreciate the kind words and yeah man we've
been talking quite early about our project and yeah um so it's really cool to see how everything come to
fruition um so that's really nice and also a huge shout out to you that's man you have been an amazing
artist as well as community member for a long time everyone who does not know but yet make sure to
follow him check out his artworks he has some really dope stuff going on there as well and a very very
talented person for sure and super nice human being you're making me blush for real for real yeah that's
that's the least i can do for you being awake all night i mean
no i'm used to it uh the dabs keep me awake so we're good
yeah i can second that buds is a legend so if you guys do need some art do not hit up john right now
not at least until four weeks is over but hit up buds in the meantime and uh also i think uh john
you got a new speaker up that came meta gandhi you have a question for uh john hello hello can you
you hear me i'm audible yeah let's go good evening bro how are you doing i'm doing good buddy first of
all congratulations on selling 85 percent on your weekly space and i'm seeing the tickets are flying
for the public raffle so congratulations on that uh huge shout out to john huge shout out to the entire
team for working this uh for the smooth mint amazing amazing job done guys so give it up for yourself
uh my question to you guys uh first of all thank you again for onboarding the pudgy penguins community
uh most of our pudgy penguin holders this is going to be their first solana mint uh i'm in the server
and we got the spots you guys log the spots for us as well so my question uh is going to be linked to
that how uh and it's going to be inspiration your answer is going to be an inspiration for a lot of solana
projects who are looking to launch in future how do you manage to grab attention of uh how do you
manage to grab the attention of eat folks uh like us and how the cross-chain marketing really works
because a lot of solana projects what they're missing on is actually getting people from other
chains to participate in their mates so i was the one who was uh uh targeted by a project as well
through different alpha channels so your cross-chain marketing really worked well so i just wanted
you to share more insights on how sculpt managed to do this cross-chain marketing thank you i appreciate
that gandhi thanks for coming up and speaking and thanks for bringing like the whole pudgy fam in as
well so really appreciate that we've been talking in dm squad as well a very nice human being as well as
very skilled person so happy to have you in the community as well um regarding your question that's
a very great question and actually i think again um a lot of that um goes back to the artworks themselves
which are quite powerful in attracting people combined with the memes right so that is like basically like
the base foundation that we have set um it sets like the the floor value of our project right by having
great artworks and branding um when it comes to actually reaching those people on ethereum
we in our marketing like when we were designing the marketing campaign and plans
we had the idea to focus on eve as well as on bitcoin so what we have done
is um hiring a cross-chain coloration manager right like we've messed it up there a little bit with the vetting process
vetting process but we had like one person who was in charge and just reaching out to um eve projects
and getting their attention since it was a free mint combined with the great artworks it was very easy
to attract a lot of people there right and raise your interest right so that was that was very good as
well and when it comes to general marketing um what we have done or what i have done quite frequently
is personal outreach and dms so what i would do is um we we created an animation video uh invitation
animation video right and i had like a small introduction and i would just send it out as dm to
a lot of people and we also focus a lot on um asian communities and people and a lot of them are actually
involved in ethereum right so what we have done is um just looking for especially japanese chinese
as well as taiwanese and people from hong kong in the in the web free space send them dms and get them
on boarded in the community and actually all it needs regarding marketing is always to to um to attract
like the one single person that has a huge network or influence within a certain network right and we're
like able to give you a shout out and um on board a lot of community members and you can increase
the probability for that to happen by just sending out those dms to a lot of various people and i think
the the trigger event for us that actually started all this hype was ali tweeting about it on the timeline
right so that's that's basically like the trigger moment that um caused a lot of uh influx from eve
people eve projects requesting to get white spots for our communities so yeah um definitely artworks and
branding as well as personal outreach that helped us a lot but again like we focused heavily on getting
those eve people on board as well and i don't think that a lot of solana people or projects are actually
doing that because we are like like struggling with um raising attention within their ecosystem
at all right um especially if you have a pavement it's very hard um for us it was like very easy to
operate by having a free mint and great artworks amazing thank you so much man for your answer
i hope your answer inspires a lot of builders who are listening to the space and best of luck for the
secondary market i can't wait to sweep a few cheers amazing let's fucking go thank you as well for coming up
and very happy again to have the pudgy penguin community on board it because um i've been talking
to you as well about this pudgy has been one of our role models building and designing sculpt so very
happy to see a lot of community members in there uh vibing and celebrating skullt and its artwork so
that's very very very cool to see appreciate that thank you buddy have a great night
you too gandhi thanks for coming up we got josh what's up josh oh i just wanted to just wanted
to shout out to buds he's up here i just want to see how he's doing bro did you even listen to the
space i was already shouting out to him that's fine i haven't talked to him yet
okay go ahead i like i like buds okay that's it's one of my guys okay we're in love guys you know i
love you too i've been thinking about you all night even after i hit the mint oh trust me i know baby
i know i do i do want to ask but i haven't talked to you how was your how was your art show was it
good oh yeah dude it was awesome um it was like a small little like art market but the like the place
that it was at was so picturesque i don't know it was it was very dope but i might have landed like this
extra summer art job uh kind of hosting like art tours which would be really cool where i would just be
teaching people how to urban sketch um so yeah super cool oh that's that's sick man i'm glad to hear it
i don't know why i laughed at myself there thank you
but uh yeah man
thanks for being here
all these love connections today meanwhile mohammed has his hands up
yeah yeah yeah we can let mohammed go like i'm sorry i just have love for some certain people
i'm sorry the ruler just not on the list like if you're jealous josh you're getting muted but
please oh wow
hello can you hear me
loud and clear man congratulations for the mint bro
thank you man appreciate it yeah i just wanted to say that and yeah i couldn't mean because i guess i
i was cursed yesterday i don't know but everything is really okay
thank you appreciate it yeah thanks for coming up man and sorry uh that you've been
purged uh we were like very strict about that and i think it affected a lot of people but we applied
our rules for everyone and we had to be strict about that again sorry to hear that um you can get some
tickets right now we're just like still a bunch of collectibles okay yeah i still like a lot of
collectibles up um for the raffle um the chances are pretty good um to get into the community
still and if not there we always have a secondary markets but yeah okay have a nice day
you too man thank you yeah john you're nearing six thousand tickets sold man that's incredible
i had some questions about the raffle
sure shoot um yeah um so i saw that it said that like if you purchased five tickets and you went all
five on those um you had to buy five is that correct if you went on them
i think stealthy said yes yeah stuffy might be the guy who actually knows that because he's
he has been buying a bunch of tickets on tire launch but i'm i'm not i'm not 100 sure about that to be
honest maybe ray ray maybe you know how i'm sorry could you repeat the question
um i don't even remember what the freak i just asked um oh yeah if you bought like five tickets
and you went on all five um do you have to buy all five or is it just you could buy three i can i can i
answer this i i believe uh so i'm i'm thinking the question is if you buy five tickets and say you
went on all five tickets is there another fee involved is that is that correct no because i saw
that and you do have to buy like they were 0.015 i do believe and you still have to pay that correct
yeah that's so so that's the claim fee so like whenever you actually claim the nft that that
covers the the transaction okay so okay so so that's just the that's just the transaction fee
to to make to claim it to your wallet from the site right okay all right yeah this is all kind of
new yeah there shouldn't be any any additional fee other than buying the ticket so if you buy a ticket
and you're winning ticket the total amount should be around 0.065 to claim it on a winning ticket
but whenever you claim you'll you'll only claim for the for the one ticket for it should just be the
point point zero one five okay and then i saw over in the um one alpha chat that we are in over there
some people were kind of asking if you get that raffle ticket money back i'm assuming no that is
correct yeah it's okay yeah it's it's like buying a raffle on uh on famous fox right right and that's
what i figured you're it's a raffle ticket just like in real life you're buying a raffle ticket
it's it's gone if you don't win um so and is there a limit on how many raffle tickets can be sold
or is it just how many ever sells i think there's no cap on it to be honest um we haven't discussed
anything with the marketplace regarding all right so it's how many ever people want to participate
they can't awesome yep unlimited cc for three hours the period is three hours so as many as get sold
that's what happens okay and then let's say we did win how long do we have to go in and claim those
that's actually a good question as well let me ask the launchpad right now um we'll be able to
answer that give me two minutes i'll start it okay awesome thank you
nice pfp cc real elegant thank you it is one of the vampires from after dark social club
as you know drawn by school studios drawn by school studios went in and uh created her with the
little um generator and picked out some of my favorites that were in there and uh been rocking
her for a little while i uh really like them i think they uh represent us females very well out here

yeah unlimited time yeah okay awesome thank you so much i appreciate that because my memories kind of
crap sometimes um because like buds down here i do like those dabs and um i may forget
oh good we are here to cover you awesome thank you i i'm upset i missed the white list i tried a few
times so i'm like okay gotta get in on this raffle
yeah the chances are looking pretty good i'm not i'm not sure where we are at right now but there's like
a huge chunk of collectibles actually um left for the raffle so the odds are quite good for you guys
to get your hands on that um yeah we got a couple new speakers up in here we got daiki then we'll move
to hask and bongo and we'll also need to wrap it up in uh maybe 20 to 30 minutes so we can prepare
or i can prepare um other content that needs to be rolled out as well as holder verification and the
announcements for the marketplaces and whatever so let's give it like 20 more minutes answer those
three questions and then hello hello guys hey daiki how are you doing anyone hear me
yeah yeah yeah i'm good bro firstly i want to say uh congratulations to the smooth that and faster
launch uh this is crazy i i left the ad so much yeah sorry my english is bad bro you're good you're good

scott bro yeah you are one of the tattoo guys yeah that's right yeah yeah yeah yeah and you got
like a good tattoo man like yours is looking sick bro i love you too i love you so much yeah but
unfortunately i mean that just one with my seller row what i don't know what's the matter with my submitted
wallet uh but i submitted it when i was uh when i had trainless rule you know but i'm i mean that it's
absolutely just one yeah i think i think your other allocation might be within the airdrops that are
going to happen after mint um so since there were like a lot of late submissions we had like we had to
pivot a little bit and create like a separate allocation for airdrops because we were not able
to incorporate it into the mint but you'll be sorted by that um just shoot me a dm i think we're like
in the dms in the twitter dms right just shoot me a dm there and i'll double check later yeah yes sir
yeah yeah brother i appreciate that so much yeah i love you uh i've been so early supporter yeah i will be
doing is always yeah yeah man you you have been an early supporter for a long time and i really
appreciate you appreciate all your contributions um thank you for remembering me yeah yeah thanks for
getting a fucking skull tattoo man that's fucking crazy but i would say that the people that have
go ahead bro sorry thank you thank you guys yeah no worries no worries i would say that the people that
have have a tattoo like a skull tattoo are like the ones that are definitely not going to paper on
secondary yeah yeah yeah yeah i saw it i saw it awesome thanks for coming up here thanks for
speaking blackie and thanks for being part of our community uh the ruler john do you mind if i pin his
tattoo on the big board up there because that thing is a piece of art man let's do it man it looks
fucking sick really nice yeah don and you have a few other speakers that came up as well they want to talk
to you sure let's do it all right let's move to hask first and then we move to bongo
okay if hask is not around let's see if bongo is here all right yeah it was a bit away from the mic
but yeah first of all thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to speak
and i want to ask a few questions okay if it's possible uh firstly okay how did you assemble your
team so i know that working on an nfc space is a bit hard and finding the right team is the hardest
it is the make or break of the project so how did you find the right balance and how do you do
conflict resolution that's a great question um for the web 3 team that we have set yeah i know most
of the people for a long time so um i'm i'm entrusting them with a lot of things right because i know
um out of experience that we're like capable of being in responsible positions where we are leading
other people or organizing stuff that is important right so um that's that's how i wetted like the core
team basically um and moderators as well as collaboration managers we came in on referral
only only so for one of our collaboration managers um gap attack for example he was referred by stuffy
who is one of our close friends and um we had like very very great experiences there um so we are
listening to to like other friends as well as advisors when it comes to onboarding people to the team
and make sure that that um the people are like capable or someone is like there that can whoosh for
them when it comes to the art team itself that's um actually very different because i'm actually from
germany but i've moved to vali two years ago and i started traveling to indonesia around 10 years ago so
i already had a lot of friends here and um with one of them we've met up at his bar opening around
one and a half or two years ago and we were basically just yeah getting up you know talking
about life and and and all that nonsense you know and he was telling me that he was having a hard time
with finding clients for commission work um from europe as well as from america and looking at his
portfolio you know like i knew that this guy is is fucking talented right and um he needs to be
on a bigger stage and gets like the flowers that he deserves right and we were just like brainstorming
ideas on um how to get it done and i thought that it might be the best idea to to ensemble all the great
artists and get like a studio started because when we're like able to work on bigger projects together
but yeah when it comes to like assembling the art team i had like one close friend of mine who
introduced me to his close friends who were like all artists as well and that's how we managed to
assemble our art studio team oh like one and a half year ago yeah we started with like four people
and right now we're like 11 people employed so yeah a lot of a lot of um either for me it's either like
working a long time with people and trusting them and then onboarding them to the team um or coming in
on referral from other people that i trust okay amazing story and really great answer moving to bali
right now is such an underrated win especially for like uh long distance work but uh moving on to
my second question how do you plan on keeping sculpt relevant like i know because i've worked uh in a
couple of projects so minting perfectly and doing execution perfectly is a big part but keeping it
constantly relevant is also a big part that's overlooked so what are your takes on that yeah that's that's a
great question and that's of course like the biggest challenges that web3 teams are facing right like
you can hype things up as fuck before mint um what matters and what determines like your long-term success
is of course um being relevant and staying relevant and sustaining the project over time right that's like
the biggest challenge that all of us are facing or trying to solve right um when it comes to skulls we're like
pretty good setup in my opinion because our vision is clear right and we've been preparing a lot of
stuff for over one year so we're like a lot of things that are going to be um revealed over the next next
weeks that have been in works for a long time so we have like final products we have final content we
have appropriate infrastructure where people can set on and they can build um where content where personal
brands for example create content by utilizing our ip as well as tech right um staying relevant over time
does not mean that we're like able to sustain the hype that we had pre-ment because that's nearly
impossible right like pre-ment it means that we're like 30 000 people wanting into a project that only has
place for 6 666 right um after that what we are focusing on is delivering the infrastructure that we have
built to the holders that are in there communicating our vision clearly and often to the people that are
in there making sure that they align with it and make sure that they wipe and fuck with it as well
and that way believe and entrust us with what we are doing in the future right and when we're talking
about the future i'm not talking about things that are like months away because if if we do it like
that it will be like very very hard to stay relevant because the biggest hype and awareness around one
project is always around mint date for most of us right so you need to to feed in that hype around mint
on secondary market launch as well as days after with some products or some things that can maintain it
up to the final product launch and we have that prepared in five phases actually that are going to kick
off with the manifestation phase that we're like in right now and we're going to lead up towards the
final product explosive growth which hopefully and we're like very confident that it will um will keep
us relevant for a long time and it will create great value for our collectible holders and it will also
attract a lot of people that are not into nfts at all because the way we've built it is that it's
accessible and attractive for anyone and i'm talking about like here like anyone who wants to build a
personal brand or a business brand right who wants to become a content creator or even if you just have
a dream we are like able to help you with defining it with committing to it and then drafting a personal
brand out of your dream helping you to monetize it we are creating content and if you want to you can opt
in into using our collectibles as well right so explosive growth itself can like like the way it's
designed it's designed to work without collectibles as well but we've also have like a lot of great
features for our collectible holders that can be utilized on our um explosive growth website for them to
yeah um improve where brands utilize the ip that we're providing even better and get the word of
of sculpt out there on the timelines by having the pfps by being a cool content creator for our brand
you know so we're like a lot of a lot of cool things planned but for the first week after secondary
again as soon as the art collection is out with its 450 trades and 50 one by ones that is going to
sustain hype regardless because people will flex what we've minted on the timeline people will change for
pfps and people will just appreciate and and celebrate the art for at least one week that's
what we have said in the manifestation phase and after that we are moving on to the activation phase
and that's where we are feeding in our products um slowly into the community and um try to stay
relevant from there okay again amazingly put my final question because i don't want to hold up everyone's
time uh who's a founder you look up to as like is there a tactic here like adapting to or like maybe
just using it as a waypoint um great question i've never thought about it but i'm like definitely
i'm influenced by a couple people and founders within the space um for sure um i think and a lot of people
on solana might not like this when it comes to marketing as well as communicating um i think like
like frank is definitely the one person that is goated in that regard right um a lot of a lot of
people will of course argue about other things that have been going on there but when it comes to like
communicating hyping product reveals and um being like the number one topic on the web free timeline
frank is like definitely someone that i'm looking up to and he has influenced some of our marketing
strategies as well in that regard right um yeah when it comes to other founders within the space
i cannot get one out of my mind right now when it comes to to web free founders to be honest we're
like a lot of great founders within the space but most of them are um like like builder founders that are
like very dedicated to their communities um as well as building products so um we're like definitely
great people out there as well but when it comes to like like my personal approach or like how we are
running things for scott for example um on the side of marketing that's very much um frank when it comes
to the community side of things that's like our own our own pure intentions that we have as a team
right um we want to help people we want to support people we want to create good value content with
what we are doing right we want to change the life of people that's like personal motivation that all of
us and i can speak like for the whole team here um have set in their minds mindset right so uh that's like
another main influence that yeah shaped this this project and its identity and everything that you're seeing
again amazing answer uh thank you for the opportunity for letting me poke around in your brain great
stuff for ahead uh and yeah thank you guys appreciate it has thanks for coming up here and thanks for
being part of the skull bro all right who else do we got bongo how are you doing bro and before bongo goes
