Hi everyone, welcome to the AMA today. We will be beginning our AMA with our partner, Sherdham, just a moment. We'll give a little bit more time for our listeners to join. Thanks.
All right, I think we could get started. Thanks for sending the love. I see you, DiePam, and all the listeners. So just by wave introduction, I'm Steve Yu, head of BD and partnerships at Cellar Network. I know that there's a lot of excitement going on lately with a lot of the
development of our equal system as well as integration. So one of them is obviously shirt them. Now, shirt them is quite different from many of the projects that we come across on a daily basis. Because they, you know, typically we
have many projects or applications related with DeFi, specifically where oftentimes a conversation is around eels or swath or things of that nature. But Shardam is a quite different project.
I'd love to introduce one of our partners today to talk about what they're up to and the nature and the context behind our partnership. So I'd love to invite over to Brando from Shurdam. Brando.
It looks like we're having a technical difficulty. Just hold on for a second guys.
Thanks for your patience guys, just one more moment.
Apologies again guys, we're still working through the technical difficulties so just give us a moment.
Give us a few more minute guys. We're still working through the tech side.
Okay guys, we should be starting just a moment as we work through the technical difficulties, but in the meanwhile, let me give you a quick intro of background about me in case you haven't met me personally or spoken with me. So I am Steve you head up
BD and partnerships at seller networks. So as seller, you know, obviously we are pretty well known in the space for our bridging. We are currently supporting bridging for fungible tokens like the ERC 20 and non-fungible tokens as well as general message passing.
Currently we are supporting 35 plus different chains at the moment and we are fast at the moment supporting a number of key ecosystems that are coming into space. We are aggressively working with a number of partners in expanding their ecosystem.
system both through L1s and L2s as well as many of the unique applications that are out there in our space. So yeah, looking forward to kicking off this conversation with Shardom. So give us just a second. Thanks.
Hi, welcome to the AMA everyone. Hey guys, we can get started. Yeah.
Welcome, Brenda. Thanks for joining us and working through the technical difficulties. We're really glad that you're here for this AMA. So perhaps you could start by giving an intro. Absolutely, guys, sorry for the technical difficulties and the delay.
but we got this sorted out. I'll just give you guys a quick recap of suretum what we do and a bit about our ecosystem. So I'll just quickly introduce myself. I'm Brando Morandi, I'm the head of blockchain at suretum. So I lead all
kind of different areas in the project, including market research, tokenomics, staking, also migration between both chains that we're on. So I work on the token utility, on centralized exchange listings, decentralized exchange listings, and
as well as managing all the strategic advisors that we have the partnerships and also with the product team. Having said this, I'll tell you guys about what shirtum is. So shirtum we are in an NFT marketplace that works with sports athletes, football teams and
teams in general in the future. We have different missions. So our first mission is to innovate what we call the traditional sports collecting experience. So I think most of us are at least a lot of sports fans when there were kids we collected panini cards, we would trade them between each other
in real life and we would fill out the album and we'd be happy just to have those cards and show everybody that we have the album, we completed the album and we have more cards than anybody else. So what we're trying to do is innovate that through blockchain technology, so creating a new
way of collecting memorabilia of these athletes and clubs and also helping fans get closer to their sports idols. So by getting closer that means trying to give experiences, sign the merch, sign posters, AMAs,
And any kind of different alternative experience that nowadays is pretty much inexistent for an average sports fan. The second mission that we have is to foster the like-minded digital communities, which are into sports. So for example, what you see when you're going to the stadium, to the
the pub, right? You see crazy fans all together watching the game together, having some popcorn shouting their heads off. And I think we want to try and recreate that experience in a digital form by bringing like-minded fans to discuss, to vote about certain aspects of the
ecosystem to talk about the latest games and just slowly enhance this whole digital experience and digital interaction between fans. So what we've been doing during these these these last months we've been around since 2021 we launched the token on
on Binance Smart Chain. And what we've been trying to work on is releasing these NFTs and slowly giving out utilities that are pretty unique. So I think later on during the spaces I will list a bit of the experiences and the utilities that we were able to give our fans and holders.
Thanks so much for that background and the information, Brown though. I know that, you know, as a bridge operator, we come across so many different projects on a daily basis. And if you compound that over weeks and months, easily, we
time to many of the emotions that people remember watching their favorite match, you know, or a game or some playoffs or championships. So I'm just kind of curious, what was the motivation to start this project?
Yes, that's a very interesting question. So actually our CEO is from Argentina and he's been in the football industry for more than 15 years now. So he worked for Bokadr, Jr. and River Plate, which if we have any Argentinian
community in here, I'm sure they'll know they're basically the two biggest clubs in the country. And he's always been very interested in merging the latest innovations, the latest technology with fan interaction. So how can you enhance fan interaction with
athletes and clubs and also create an innovative experience but also find ways to reward that loyalty from fans because if you think about it many times fans give their give unconditional support to their teams and their athletes and get very little in return because
Let's be honest, just watching the spectacle and these professionals play is already a pretty big satisfaction on its own. So what we want to try and do is bring it further and bring something unique. And the motivation that came from David, David Rosenzweig, which is our CEO, is
are different motivations. So on one side he wants to recreate that idea of having a digital membership card. You know if anybody here is familiar with European football, many times what fans do is they buy a membership card and during the year they can go and watch
games. So what we want to try and do is with these NFTs, it's almost like you have a digital membership of a certain athlete or a certain team. And what is interesting is that our project actually was founded by our CEO and also by football players.
So we actually have our founding players, which are Papugomis, Digo Perotti, Nico Barreja, which are all professional football players, and they helped in the development of this project, and they continue to help us both financially and also a lot with their contacts in the football space and also outside of the football space.
in other sports. So this it's slowly developed basically by talking by these discussions between the CEO and these football players understanding if there was a place and niche there where you could enable these relationships and make them feel closer to to their sports idol.
This is a bit the first vision that he had. And slowly when blockchain technology emerged and we saw the big NFT boom that happened last year, they slowly realized that this was potentially the technology that was going to enable a closer interaction between fans and
and athletes because what NFTs and blockchain in general does is it able to verify the ownership of certain assets on the internet. So by doing that, we're able to verify that those are the owners on the internet and they have the possibility to access communities to have
certain experiences to collect certain memorabilia to be part of our ecosystem in general. So that's a bit how it came about and the first the first idea came about in 2019 from David and slowly during the years this was a very built from the ground to the top project.
We never really had big VCs involved or anything. It was literally investment from football players, a lot of early believers and private investors as well. So that's a bit the overall vision and how it started. Well, thank you so much for that. I didn't know that it goes
really deep into the players getting involved in supporting this project. And I think you also touched a little bit on the uniqueness of the project in terms of experiences and accesses. Could you tell us a little bit more about what sort of experiences the fans can access through Shardom?
Yes, absolutely. So what makes our project unique? First of all, we started and continue to do to work on a very important front, which for us is very dear, which is cinematic NFTs. So cinematic NFTs is basically clips and videos.
that we do at a cinematic professional level. Meaning we have a whole group of professionals that comes and films the players and films the stories behind them. Because what we want to try and capture is how did these players reach these
What kind of stories, crazy stories, or fun stories happened along this journey for them. And I think that's very interesting for every fan, right? Every fan wants to know how did they get there? What kind of challenges did they have to face? What kind of difficulties, but also the excitement
the joys, the satisfaction. A lot of times, for example, we heard about this about Papugomis. We released one of his clips where he talks about his brother who unfortunately died by suicide. So he
He died by suicide and shortly after he played the game even though from an emotional standpoint he felt devastated obviously. But he's still because of the passion is so big for football, he played that game and he scored that game and obviously he did that thinking about his brother.
So there's these crazy stories that people will never get to know about these players. And I think it's super, super interesting to see this in such an amazing high quality content and also with certain questions that really pinpoint certain aspects and moments of the career that
I think many times people focus too much on the success but not on the journey towards that success. That's what we want to try and capture. One of the unique aspects are definitely our cinematic NFTs. On the second hand, like we said, one of our concepts is collect to experience. We want to recreate that same paniniic
experience, but on a digital ecosystem. So where you're collecting NFTs, you're collecting different memorabilia. And then by this, we have a mechanism, which I think I'm going to talk about later on, which allows our holders to experience
experience certain moments with players or receive certain goods and experiences that money can buy because the reality is that in this world it's a lot about who you know and the people that connect you to other people. So it's actually quite a close-knit environment and that's why we feel that
spans are always many times excluded by this. I want to try and bring them in and make it a bit more rewarding for them as well. The second thing I want to also mention, which makes it very unique our ecosystem, is the tokenomics. We worked a lot on the tokenomics. We also upgraded our tokenomics because
We wanted to try and bring more decentralization to our ecosystem. So one of the things we did is on two different aspects. We worked, for example, on creating a much bigger pool of community rewards. So more than 30% of our total supply is destined to the
community and we have a long-term vision of approximately 10 to 15 years. So within this timeframe, we believe that we are going to slowly release these tokens in the circulating supply so that our holders will be able to basically keep staking and keep participating in the ecosystem.
What we want to do is, well, actually the challenge we have is to balance our native token with our NFT collections. So many times we see a lot of NFT collections releasing their collections and it's just the NFT many times and many times the tokens come afterwards. In our case, the token came before
So we released the token before and then the NFT collections came afterwards and this was done for a very simple reason because this allowed us to have the capital to compete with these big players that had very big VC funding and also to get the awareness out to the community directly instead of getting like a
before big funding from big players. So what we're trying to do here is balance it to the NFTs and the native token. So how do we do that? We created a deflationary mechanism where about the more NFTs we release and mint, the more she gets burnt.
So obviously our supply is capped at 700 a bit more than 700 million tokens and slowly by the NFTs being released what happens is our NFT revenue distribution we call it. So the reason we call it that is because on one side what we do is
us a certain team, we hold a certain percentage of the NFT collections, all of them. So this can be up to 5% of the whole collection we hold for the long term, obviously. And the second side is we use 5% of all the revenues, all the comes in from the NFT collections.
We use to buy back she on the open market and then burn it. And the other 5% we use to refill the community rewards pool that we have that I spoke about before. So that means we constantly refill that pool so that we can continuously give tokens
out to the community because this makes, this decentralizes this supply and gives potentially hopefully in the future more holders and different holders around the world that hold sheep. So this is, I think, the most, the two key points that I want to mention that makes us unique
- Wow, thank you for that, Brenda. I think you even touched on one of the questions that I wanted to ask about, you know, unique experiences, but as a fan also, I wanted to ask personally, like, is there an opportunity maybe to, as one of the experiences get to meet these players in person?
Absolutely. Yes. So that's what we're working on precisely on that. So I'll tell you a bit about just in general some of the utilities that we already worked on. Just to give you background, we have done four NFTs collections as of right now. We did our founding players collection. We did our Galatasaray collection, which
which is the first historical collection ever. We did the Maravilla Martinez collection and also Ronaldinho collection, a big legend in football of course. So what we're trying to do there is give utilities but we cannot just bundle up utilities and
them out right away, right? Because the idea is that you're not just doing it for the utilities, you're also doing it to collect those NFTs, right? To support the athlete and also be part of the community in sure them. So just to give you some example, some of the utilities we gave with Galatasaray, we did three editions of the NFT collection. I encourage everybody to go check it out. It's on OpenC.
Alisami and collection, if you guys want to go check it out, you'll see a lot of very interesting clips there on cinematic NFTs. So we did three editions which basically gave a different rarity for each one. The least rare we did gave a utility to each holder which was
access to their private museum. So Galatasaray as many other clubs has their own private museum. So with that NFT you could redeem an entry to their private museum. The second one which was the intermediate gravity, we gave the discount on merchandise. So the Galatasaray merchandise you could get I think 20
20% discount on all the merchandise. And the most rare NFT collection from Galatasaray, which you're very proud of, was the access to a VIP experience with any one of the matches during one season with the club. Sorry, you could choose
to go and attend a match with a VIP experience around that. So we were able in that case to give it to all the holders and that was very, very difficult challenge of course. And the second NFT collection where we've already started giving out utilities is the Ronal Dino. The Ronal Dino is the collection we did with the Ronal Dino.
And right now that just bootstrapped that just started the collection relatively even though some months have passed, but we already gave out a signed merch. So signed posters, signed t-shirts, and also we are in the process of organizing a meeting with him.
Obviously, if anybody knows Ronalino, let's say on the crazy side of the football players, he's always traveling around the world. He has a lot of different partnerships with different projects.
But he's also very difficult to take a hold of because he has a pretty crazy lifestyle just to put it lightly. But we're working on him to get a meeting greet with all the fans. And also potentially, this we're still in discussion, what we want to do is do a game with a lot of
of the players that we have on board of Shirtom and also invited on Al Dino there so that we will have maybe between 10 and 11 holders playing a game with our players. So that is the goal there. Slowly, I know one of the difficulties a lot of these players still don't understand blockchain technologies
They don't understand the whole aspect of Web 3. But slowly, we see a lot of the players talking to us, understanding how to set up a meta-mask, understanding more about UniSwap, how to swap the tokens. So I think the more they get involved, slowly, and the more they talk to us, the more they will understand the philosophy of blockchain. And what it means to give back to the community that supports you.
So I think a lot of people think it's very easy to get in contact with these players and understand and make them understand what it means and their commitment towards it, but it's a working progress. Well, thanks so much for that transparency and sort of the things that you guys are working
through to get the players as well as more involved. And I think the prize of the queue is very interesting because oftentimes we're talking about NFTs, you know, it's purely digital. But in some senses and in some cases like shirt on, there's an actual tangible experience with meeting with a player, right? Perhaps even shaking their hand and just getting an autograph and
picture and then turning that back into a digital. So it's kind of interesting to go digital, physical, digital. But yeah, it's certainly a wide range of experiences that we haven't come across from other projects. And Brenda. Absolutely. I think just one thing, Steve, I think that's cool. That's what they call they say, "Figital." I heard that word a couple months ago.
So I think that's also part of onboarding non-cryptonative users because I think a lot of the things that the crypto space tends to be very digital, non-tangible, and by giving physical utilities, like I said with Galatasaray fans,
to go watch the match, to get physical signed merch in your post, right? It gives you a certain feeling of, okay, this is real, there's more to it than just this whole crypto space and the metaverse with people tweeting on Twitter and just doing Twitter spaces. There's something tangible that I can touch and there's business models that are
coming out of this blockchain technology that are actually proven. So I think that's a very interesting point you mentioned. Yeah, and certainly doing that with a name like Ronadinho who's recognized as probably one of the top 10 names in all of soccer or a football I should say in some parts of the world. I mean he is certainly recognized along the face
with guys like Messi. So if anyone is a fan of soccer or a football, you will certainly recognize these names as household names. So a big huddles to that. And I know you talked a little bit about how the token is implemented to the ecosystem and you kind of read into this. If there's anything else you want to expand on about
that happy to hear us more. But if not, there are, I think you are sort of transitioning us into perhaps allowing us to ask more deeper questions around kind of the teams and the athletes you guys are partnering with or partner with. I think you touched on that as well. But for the fans of us wanting to see
the more ways to connect with their favorite players and experiences that are often tied with their childhood. We'd love to hear your insight on this side, Brando. Definitely. Okay, let me talk a bit about the teams and athletes we partnered with. So we're approaching
40 partners, so that's between athletes and teams, mainly football clubs. So that in itself, I don't know if anybody has ever worked in a commercial department and dealt with athletes is pretty impressive. What we're trying to do in our ecosystem is be multi-sport, so have many
different sports disciplines, which is also pretty ambitious. I think the most beautiful thing is when you are a fan of different sports, right, and you have one ecosystem that gives you different sports to follow and interact with their athletes. So let me just mention a couple of names we have.
So we partnered already with Marcelo, which is actually the former captain of Real Madrid. Now a former, very, very, very short time ago, he was the captain of Real Madrid, and it's been there a very long time. He's done amazing things, as you guys know. Ronaldinho, we have Pedro that also played in FC Barcelona.
Galatasaray, San Lorenzo, and then we have Ivan Rakitić, they're also played for Barcelona, Papugomis, which plays for Sevilla now, and is also in Argentinian National Football Club, and many many others. So these are just some of the names we have, and also
Obviously we have a lot of partners that we have closed the deal with and we're not announcing at the moment and the reason is because the market conditions. So we don't want to just throw out these amazing names out in the community and it doesn't really help a lot because right now
right now everything is very, very quiet and there's just such uncertainty around the macro, the economy in general and the crypto space that we wanted to kind of keep a low profile for now. But we have a lot of names in the box, a lot of names in the box. Sure. Thank you so much for that. I think those names that you mentioned are
I mean, again, it's sort of like the off-star team, right? If anyone is a big fan of against Sarkar or football, these are recognized names at home. And for us who are getting really excited about learning more about Shurdam in the meantime, what would you recommend was the best way to get involved with your project?
Yeah, so if you if you want to get involved I think like any project what I would what I would suggest you do is follow us We have we have a Twitter obviously that's at Shirton with a capital S So go go give us a follow there or at least check us out and see see see our tweets see our pages see our content we have
have a post of some of the film again if he's there so you can already have a glimpse of the content we produce and also the stories of the athletes and the clubs. I think that's really interesting if you're a sports fan. Also, go check out OpenCRNFT collections because I think that says a lot about our project. A lot of stuff goes into these collections
that people don't see. So yeah, check us out on OpenSea. If you write in, if you type in "Shirt and Deployer", you'll see pretty much a lot of the NFT collections that we released already. And we also have a Telegram and a website, of course, "Shirt and Deployer.com". Now what I would do also, if
If you're into the nitty gritty, go read our white paper. Our white paper says pretty much everything there is to our project and the vision as well as the team, it shows the team and a lot of aspects of the project. And also get involved in the community. Sunday good morning, send a message, get
our moderators are community, I think it's very important to get involved in the community and feel if it's a right fit for you guys, if you feel like it's a place for you and you want to stay there and you want to stick around. So I'd start with that and then from there, if you really like what you see and you like what we're doing, the second step in my opinion is
obviously to buy she you can buy it on unisop we're on pancakes walk we're on gate we listed on gate as well because what we're trying to do is reward the people that are in the ecosystem and what we can do is by those that stake she and those people are the one that are prioritized first of before
anyone else. So we have, if you buy she and you stake it, you immediately enter a leaderboard, a ranking. So we made it competitive, right, because this is a sports ecosystem. So that competitive side always comes in. And if you're on this ranking, you basically depending on your ranking, you're going to have more benefits or less
benefits compared to other holders when it comes to the NFT collections when it comes to exclusive communities on Discord and also in the future Raffles. One of the big surprises we have for the community is our Raphonomics mechanism. So we're going to release that probably mid-October mid to end October. That's going to be a
a way to raffle out NFTs, wireless bots, all kind of stuff. So yes, that's a bit how it works. When you stake, we have three different lockup periods, three months, six months, and 12 months, and you get an APR of, I think, it's 16% for three months.
24% on 6 months and 36% for 12 month log period. And what we try to do is that when you stake the token, the native token, your rewards are accounted for immediately onto your ranking. So for example, let's say you put 10,000 she in the 12 month
which is the longest period, automatically we account for 36% of that in your ranking. So let's say your 10,000 sheet tokens, your number 20 in the ranking, just to make an example, by applying the 36% immediately you have 13,600 sheet and that is accounted for automatic
So you bump up in the rankings right away. That's also one of the aspects that makes our tokenomics unique. So yes, those are two things you can do. And if you guys have any questions or any feedback, we really, really appreciate that. Just jump in our discord, jump in our Twitter, just send a message there and we're happy to respond.
Thank you, Brando. Then focusing back on the partnership side, as someone working on the business development on the partnership at Cellar Network, here I come across a bridging solutions that projects need and sometimes that need
custom mapping and things of that nature or the integration. And I, one of the questions that we've gotten from the community is sort of like the, the partnership that we have in place with Sherdom, where we did, we are now supporting obviously the Shi Token bridging from Binance
to Ethereum and vice versa. Could you tell us more about the need for, I think, you touched on this as well for allowing the communities to be expand, but any thoughts on your input on the partnership here?
Yes, so like we said we are objective is to be on multiple chains so we're already supporting Binance Smart Chain and also Ethereum network. So we're currently multi-chain we're on both and we released NFTs on Binance Smart Chain and on Ethereum or we're trying to do
right now it just focus a bit more on Ethereum because we believe that in the long term when it comes to NFTs that's a bit the playground for NFTs at the moment. But in general what we're trying to do is as we grow as the ecosystem grows we want to be on multiple chains even more than just these two were on at the moment. And one of the first things we had to
do in order to be multi-chain was to have a bridging solution. So we actually, I was looking around at different bridging solutions and I found that really one that really caught my attention was cello network. And I remember hearing cello network for months earlier
And what I really liked was how user friendly was. It was very easy to understand, very simple and also was actually cheaper. I found it to be cheaper than other bridging solutions. So those are the two main reasons, I think, and also besides that, slowly I got to know the team. I got to know used to
and I really, really like the way you're working and also the amount of innovation that comes out from Cellonetro. I think you guys are working on some very important aspects when it comes to interoperability and I think that's one of the main topics that is often discussed as to how will interoperability improve the overall
overall experience of crypto users. So yes, I think all those aspects came into play and we decided to partner with CellNetwork and we're extremely happy with the whole integration. I think the integration took maybe two or three days, like incredibly quick, I was pretty dumbfounded when
when I realized how quick you guys set up the pool, I added liquidity right away and it was just ready to go. So, yeah, very, very happy overall with Cellon Network, very, very happy. Thanks for the kind words, Brando. I know that, you know, with many of our key developers on the team, we always think about
What would be the most sort of effective way to support our partners and I think security of course is non-negotiable for us and in fact I think where one of the only bridge or one of the two bridges that are out there with over 10.7 billion in transaction volume without a single incident to our smart contracts or nor our
partners liquidity ever being affected. So that goes to the Corb dev team working relentlessly and pouring a good chunk of their time and focus on the research and development of interoperability. So in the beginning of the conversation, we did mention
that we support fundable tokens, NFTs, and general message passing. And we're seeing a lot more projects going to multiple chains and expanding and sort of living up to their ambitions. So, you know, I could clearly see from as the bridge operator, the general trend to do this.
and the shirt on is definitely in that line. So thank you for that. Yeah. Thank you all. Yeah, go ahead. Steve, if you can maybe because I see some of our community members in our spaces, for example, Magnus, which is an amazing community member that always supports us. And maybe if you can give us maybe
Very quick kind of overview of interoperability what you guys are working on because I think it's super interesting for them also to kind of hear this. We're always big on on educating our community on on blockchain with three decentralization. So yeah, just I don't know if you want to maybe share some points about interoperability or some of the things you're working on be super super interesting.
Absolutely. So, inner chain operation or inner chain messaging or general message passing is basically allowing projects to go to be inner chain native. So, for example, today you can project like chain hop. You can swap any token on any chain for any token for another token on
another chain on one interaction. Now that is done through our inner chain messaging framework that we designed that allows much more efficient utilization of cross-chain and cross-chain liquidity composability like that.
because oftentimes liquidity is siloed on one chain or one source. This source helps to really eliminate that. But going beyond just the liquidity side of, you know, just talking about strictly on, let's say the ERC-20 token economic side, we're finding a lot more interesting ways that NFT
projects are also wanting to take advantage of this. So for example, we have a few projects that are integrating. And one of the use cases that we can easily see is allowing projects to basically lock up their NFTs, let's say, on Polygon. And then borrow against that on another chain like Ethereum or
Avalanche or Binance or what have you so it really enables The products to be interchange native without being siloed and to apply this to integrate this it requires hardly Modifications to the already deployed code so you know at the moment we have about 30 products
projects that are integrating from perpetual swaps to Dex's to NFT projects. So this is something of a trend that we're seeing. First, when we launched our ERC 20 support for bridging Q4 or I should say Q2, Q3 of last year,
We saw a huge trend for project requesting for ERC 20. And then earlier this year or mid to this year, we saw more project requesting NFT bridging. But since then, there's been a gradual incline of project requesting more support for energy and messaging framework.
And there's a lot more content about this on our Twitter space and our website. So if you want to learn about it, I highly recommend you to look at some of our material about cell or energy messaging. It also lists out several of our launch partners that we went live with earlier this year with their different use cases. And there is
quite a bit of different ways that different projects are using. So for example, lending protocols are now able to provide collateral on one chain in order to borrow against another chain. And that was the NFT example that I provided. And you know, the other one is like for game for game
buy areas, you know, users can interact seamlessly in the game with virtual items from various chains. So, you know, seeing sort of the development happening as a bridge operator, I'm just seeing tremendous development on various different ecosystems, whether it's Ethereum, Binance, or Polygon. And it's just the
very clear to me that every node is going to be connected to another node and that's how we want to play as an interoperability and we want to be able to enable that for the projects that we support and the change. So that's how we view interoperability. Yeah, thanks. That's very, very ambitious. That's incredibly
and I just wanted to ask you how many chains are you guys supporting at the moment or giving cross-chain bridging solutions to? Yeah, currently we're supporting 35 plus chains. I say plus because we are announcing support for chains about three
new chains on average on a monthly basis. So you know, depending on the timing, so it's hard to kind of keep track until it is announced. So absolutely we're focusing on that. I think we have most of, if not all, the major EVMs covered at the moment and we're focused to expand for non EVMs quite a bit as something the community
you've been asking. I know that with NFTs there's a lot of key ecosystems that are sort of flourishing and whether it's flow or polygon or binance or some other new ones that we're working on. We're looking certainly to move fast and support these projects to connect everyone in the ecosystem.
So we're in good hands though. I think we're in good hands. Yeah, absolutely. I think what projects really find beneficial working with us is that once like let's say for example, an L1 blockchain joins us. What that means is that they can now quickly
on a snap of a dime be connected and have the network effect of the other 35 chains that we are supporting. So it's a great way to tap in to the entire ecosystem, whether you want to send general message crossing or send fungibles or NFTs. So we want to make
make it extremely beneficial for that. And the other thing that we do is when we support equal systems, let's say starting from L1, we don't just stop doing the bridging. What we want to do is make the barrier to entry for the other applications that are building on top of these chains to be easily accessible.
and easy access also liquidity. So that's what we want to do and I think it was certainly in the right path to do it. So absolutely Brando, I think Shirtam and our partners are in super good hands with us. Thanks so much. Yeah, thanks for that. Yeah, and just to learn more about on Shirtam, what is
So, I know that you guys have been working heavily on bringing the partnerships with these top European, I should say global football players like Ronadinho and Marcelo, are you guys expanding more on the partnership side for the experiences or more on sort of
of the integration. So if you could kind of give us more context on that, I think it will be super helpful. Yeah. So let me just give you a bit of the next steps forward. So the next step forward for sure is going to be the release of our NFT collection, Salorenso, which is one of
the biggest clubs in Argentina. Obviously we have a big team from Argentina and a big community from South America. So this is going to be huge. And every time you're releasing an NFT from a big football team, what happens is you're onboarding a massive
amount of new fans and new community in general. So another thing that related to this that we're looking to integrate is our custodial wallet for all those fans that obviously maybe are not as interested in the whole blockchain Web 3 aspect as they are in sports.
Obviously there is a big barrier to entry when it comes to adopting these technologies and there's a lot of education and mistakes that go into the process of learning and being comfortable using, interacting with these protocols. So those are the two sides we're working on. Obviously with the
commercial partnerships, we already have almost 40 partners. So like I said, there's some of them we already announced, but some of them, which I think will take a lot, a lot of people by surprise, we did not announce yet. And slowly, obviously, as the marketing conditions get better and the right moment comes, we're going to release those.
And those are very big names as well in their own sports disciplines. So yes, I think we have a lot of partners already to start releasing NFT collections. I think on that side we've done a lot, a lot of work. What we're trying to do right now is like I said, bring new community from these teams, from these partners that we already closed
deals with and also continue to create new integrations with other Web 3 projects with making the whole process for less crypto friendly users much easier and also continuing to create amazing content that we can share all around the world so that people
get to know us better. Something that we're working on a lot is creating more visibility because we still believe that the sports ecosystem is still relatively niche when it comes to Web 3 native users. But I think slowly people are realizing if you see the partnerships happening all around the world with the FC Barcelona, et cetera, et cetera.
It's becoming more and more mainstream. So we want to keep working on integrations, keep doing new drops with the partners that we already have. And also we have a very big surprise coming soon. And this I think I can share already here, which is we're going to be releasing soon a metaverse partner that we already close the deal with.
So we were working on providing new ways of interaction with the Metaverse. I think the Metaverse is something that a lot of people still find unknown even though we talk about it so much. So what we're trying to do obviously since we want to make fans closer to their athletes, to their idols, the Metaverse is obviously going to play a
big part in that. And as we find our ideal partner, which we already did, and we're going to announce soon, we're going to be able to experiment and explore all these, this potential innovations and opportunities for our community to, to dabble a bit into, into this new world, which, which everybody's
talking about, but we see very little actual use cases for. So these all these aspects, I'd say, are the main things we're working on. Thank you, Rendo. And I must say it's encouraging to see you guys work because, you know, being working with you guys for a few months now and switching all the
different partnership integrations and signings that you guys are doing. Certainly, the portfolio of your partner's, athletic partners are expanding and it is noted. So yeah, we love to, I think the community would appreciate as you bring more and expand into more team
and players as a global sport. And I think if I'm correct soccer or slash football is a number one popular sports in the world in terms of being played as well right and viewed. Yes. That's it's the most it's the most followed sport in the world worldwide. And yeah, just to give some more information about
Now that if you guys know there's I think 3.2 or 3.5 billion sports fans around the world that's basically half the world is a sports fan to some degree. So yeah, we're looking to target a huge, huge portion of the world and that's also one of the other things we're looking
to work on a roadmap is making these NFTs more and more adopted on an everyday use case. So it has to become, I think, NFTs when we're going to reach mass adoption, they're going to be used pretty much on a lot of different occasions, right? When you're going to the stadium, when you're buying merchandise for
example in our case, with a discount, when you're interacting with the player, you're accessing a special VIP lounge in the stadium. For example, I don't know if you guys know token proof was integrated in many, many in real life events at these conferences and basically what it
allowed people to do is if you're an NFT holder and you scan a QR code, their application was able to, since it was linked with their wallet, the first time you sign in, it was able to tell them if they were allowed in that area because it was for that NFT collection only, right?
So I think as we move forward there's going to be a lot of integrations and NFTs are going to be just more and more part of our everyday lives and that's what we're trying to do for sports fans Awesome. Thank you so much for that info and as we wrap up if there's anything that you like to add Brando about shirt and also For our list
