I think he dropped me a message right now so he might be joining in late. So welcome everyone today's space is being hosted by Tarni Kewaars and GRVR
We have a which with us from DRVRS and ID from Donnie Gevers. How are you guys doing? Yeah man, I'm doing very well. Thanks very well. It's been busy times but yeah man, we're yeah it's all going and yeah, all good man loving it.
Oh, that's great man. I just saw that you have dropped a trailer. Could you tell us more about it? What's it about? What's the race week? Yeah, definitely, man. Definitely. So, yeah, anyone that hasn't, I guess, sort of, heard of drivers before. So, yeah, we launched where we started as a project January last year.
We've been working up towards this idea of a race week. So yeah, literally a couple of hours ago we put out our sort of explain a hype vid that I've taken to the jumbo tron and whatever you call in here. And yeah, what we're doing is from there on this
week commencing the 17th of July and with hello. Hey, hey, what do you get? Is there any issue? No, so good man. So good. So it sounds good. Hello, hello, hello. Hey, man. I'm see. Hi. Hi, you are audible.
Yeah, sorry, just as I was saying about Race Week really, so yeah, from the week commencing, the 17th of July, for all dryness hold on. Sorry, there was some network issue in my phone, but I hope I'm audible right now. So welcome guys, thank you short search for
you know handling the situation and we have drivers here and we are all excited about what's going to happen. We also saw the video which drivers recently dropped and the response looks really amazing on that. So guys just to give you all a quick intro, we
We have a really interesting partnership going on with drivers. We'll get into the details in a bit. But before we all start, do we have wedge here from drivers account or is that you?
the council I guess which which are you there from drivers account not sure what's the issue I'm not able to hear anyone's voice I know what's wrong am I am I audible right now yes you are audible but I guess you can't hear me at I think
Hello. Yeah, we can just a second guys short. So, can you please take over? I'll maybe I'll do something. Let me see what can I do about this. This has been crazy.
So good man, it's so good honestly, I go in so many spaces when this happens all the time, it's so good. No worries, so yep, you were getting into the details about the race week, I think we can continue from here. Yeah, sure, so yeah, basically we've got this idea of race week, so on the week commencing the 17th of July,
If you're a, if you hold a driver, you can effectively come to our website and we've got four three minutes over four days. And so we've been working on it since November. And the first being is the, the echelon. So similar to the driver's collection, they're effectively kind of the bad guys within our, within the law and the story. So I mean, our lead ice cable.
has created another collection called the echelon so for every driver that you own you can claim a free echelon and then we have our race cards so we worked with a company called table and and we've been working on sort of mutability around NFTs and things like that and it's more of our phase 2 so the race cards just enables you kind of access into the driver's ecosystem so
that we can do some cool stuff in the future. On the Wednesday, we've created a whole new collection called Vehicles. We've got 20 different base layer vehicles. They span from tiny motorbikes right up to flying things and cyber trucks and stuff. With every driver that you have, you can claim that
and the first day we've completed the first chapter of our comic. So we've got 22 pages. Very much there's lots of different of the characters, like cameos from different people within the community. And it's really we've written this big story now. And it's great to be able to see it.
where people can come and actually read the first chapter and hopefully want to get involved and help us carry on the story. So yeah, that's kind of it in a nutshell, but yeah, we've been building that. We've just put this like video out that kind of explains it that you can see shared, shared above. Yeah, and it's now, what one of the things we have done and I guess how we've originally spoken
and this little cloud that we have with Tanookaverse is within our vehicle's collection that we've built. We actually now have just over 60 different guest vehicles and guest collaborations. So yeah, all different types of projects. There's like an only one, a genuine undead one, Tanookaverse, very cool.
and bike. Yeah, and there's 60 different ones and they're not all collections. Some of them are like web 2 companies and some of them are just individuals, but I guess really the rule across all of them is that they're all people in the space that we like, we admire and we know that they're actually doing real stuff. They're not trying to do rugs and things that they're actually doing.
and good and yet, trying to sort of advance the space. So yeah, we've just put this video out and yeah, really it's now like, right, let's share it and let everybody know that if you have a driver, then that's your inclusion into race week. You know, for every one driver you have, you effectively get four free minutes. And yeah, week commence in the 17th of July.
Wow man, that's like a really crazy and like I would say like you were building pretty strong the concept that you have having your four men's right now. Even the artwork and the trailer that you just dropped like they look so amazing and I'll be working about more about the project. So I'll be
You understand that it is related to the gaming but also comes apart about the comic that you are releasing. So how do you go about it? I do understand there are two things that you are trying to work on. What's the primary focus that you are focusing on right now to get to know people, start playing the game.
What can a user anticipate in the coming future once he start playing? Can you go in a little detail about it? Yeah, so to be honest, it's not so much the game mechanic, you know, I'm speaking to it to various different computer game houses and stuff. But what I've just shared, we actually we put out a document and
last week. So within that document it kind of outlines our whole business plan really, you know, how we're putting this together as this collaborative brand. And yet I guess there's lots of different elements to it really. Yeah, but we're really trying to, you know, lots of people sort of say it, but we're trying to sort of build along with the community. So with the
for example, we did mint, we knew that this was a story wanted to tell, but actually it was members of the community that reached out to me. So there's one guy called Tycon Crypto, he reached out and said he had some experience right in comics, he had an idea for the storyline, and we've really worked closely together and we've done that with the few key members of the community that now are on the team.
just because they could see that actually, I guess, yeah, we were trying to build out this sort of community sort of collaborative brand. So based around the artwork, but actually it's kind of more than that. We're trying to turn this into something that is sort of revenue generating in a web two way, but actually using all the sort of advantages of
I'm amazing, amazing, uh, uh, uh, so guys, uh, before we, sorry, I hope I'm audible now, but before we get into the nitty gritty of the project, uh, which I wanted to ask, like, you know, before you go into web 3 and before I was like, just just
that start by telling us like who are you and you know how how did you get into Web 3? Yeah sure man sure so yeah so I've always been well I was always sort of a graffiti artist to be honest with you back in the day for a long time I was a professional graffiti artist and then yeah after that really I've had a career in sales so I've always sold SaaS products
different machine learning, really interested by new tech. That's always been my career has been sales directors of new tech companies. I got into Web 3 because one of the other founders, Pantane, I've known him since University Days and he really reached out, he's got a really successful Web 2
agency, he started to be, he's been in crypto for a good like five, six years now. And yeah, he started to see, you know, basically the sort of advantages of NFTs and, you know, this whole market where people were making these generative collections. So yeah, so he reached out to me January last year, and well, just before then, and kind of reached out and said, look, I'm doing
all of these projects, you know, you're a really good graffiti artist. Is this something that you want to look at? And I had to say to him, really like, you know, I'll be honest, like my characters aren't that good, but actually I know a lot of got a really good network now. I'm really good friends with a guy called K-Bar Lead Artist. You know, he's done loads of board games and different animations for#
level professional illustrator basically. So yeah, I reached out to Cabe, we had a chat, I explained, you know, he didn't know hardly anything to do with NFTs, so it was very much a learning experience for him of actually this is what we can do, you know, if we build this world. And yeah, he jumped on board really quickly, really, as soon as I explained the concept of how it could
work and you don't draw 3000 different pictures, you can build the assets and do this genitive algorithm and things. As soon as I explained it all, he really ran with it. I think I pitched him in the idea on Thursday and he came back on Monday and he was just like, "Okay, I've done a male or female in an android. I think it should be this future dystopian world."
that story already started to mold itself and then from there it was just great fun to be honest you know I sat with K even you know I've still got you know I was still a sales director of a crypto payment company now but yeah you know I spend a fair chunk of my time just just working on drivers and loving it and then yes in with K and being able to go right can you actually
you know, can you draw a space age helmet that has some crazy crazy visor on it or this or you know whatever I come up with basically I could just sit there and say can you draw that and he's the kind of guy where just go years hold on a minute and like 10 minutes later he goes what you think of that and it's like yeah that's amazing that's exactly what I was thinking of so yeah with the drivers we ended up with what was like#
it's full collection, minted it and minted out in November. Since then it's just been a kind of process of right. We've got that original collection. We don't want to devalue that collection at all. If anything, we want people who own drivers and the Genesis OG drivers as it were.
We want them to get the most value. So yeah, I think it was right if we do these four three minutes Now that's the ultimate way to say yeah, thanks for having a driver Thanks for being involved in our ecosystem and yet it's kind of just the start We've planned out the next sort of two two rounds of sort of innovation really that we're gonna do after this so yeah, this is just the start
Amazing, amazing man.
you have a quiet background and you know the artwork is perfect and like you know even we were going through the website like even the smallest things like you know that I can use for connect wallet all of that goes along with the theme of you know whole racing and drivers wipe so like what
I was very curious about what made you, how did you narrow down to this kind of theme of going with drivers? Like what was the, how did you conceptualize that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. So really it was, it was when Cabe first drew those first characters and we
we started discussing the law really and what world do we want this to be in. As soon as it went down this future dystopian world, the richer leaked being in these floating stations, the poorer people, the blue collar workers effectively being stuck down on earth and really wanting to be up in the Escholon. As soon as we got to that,
I'll be honest, I've always loved cars. I like driving fast around race tracks as well. It seemed to be a really natural thing that actually this could fit in really well. Also looking at a commercial and a business standpoint, everybody drives. Everybody drives, I should say. But it's that sort of commonality, I guess, of
of looking at it and saying, yeah, you know, I guess, no, I'm trying to have to put it, it's almost like the common sort of aspirations and things that go well within sort of race teams or driving communities. And yeah, that's something that we really wanted to try and sort of hook into, I guess, and have it that
Yes, it's about the artwork and you know, kept an amazing artist and all this stuff that we're doing alongside it and the race team and all this other stuff is great but actually it's kind of back to that core essence of your part of this community. If you're a driver, then that makes you part of the driver's sort of club, I guess.
Amazing amazing well we have Kush Square also here is the who's our founder and the artist behind Tana Querzen Manado Chan Kush I'll be inviting you to speak you can feel free to speak but I think you might
be in a conference or somewhere right now but say hi if you are available right now. Hey guys good evening good evening. Come mama what's happening? Just yeah I was actually in an offline event at
one of the peer products that we have is 10 decades of eemy and dynamite where they went but good evening and so good to see drive on here on the face and everyone good evening good evening and so many like common faces so regardless is here cars is here, drove was here and San Posan is here while
So man, nice to meet you, Krishna. Nice to chat to you, man.
Good to have you in the space, man. Speaking about the partnership that we have, which can you tell everyone in detail, how is this coming along and what are the plans about it? We all know that we have a
very cool artwork that I think only a few of us have seen but like if you can give everyone an idea like how this will be used in the project moving forward. Yeah, sure. So what we did, we did the same with when we did the sort of OG driver's collection. So yeah, we kind of reach out to different collections, different individuals, different companies that
that we kind of like what they're about, that's the artwork, we just kind of know that they're real within the space. So yeah, with drivers, I think we had like 32 in the end, so it was 32 different collaborations. So within the driver's collection, there's like an Azuki Alpha beans jacket and a shell-orbs hat and a
collection. So yeah, there's eight of each of these, I think there's like 62 now, 62 different guest vehicles. So they're different, different communities where yeah, they have eight different color ways of a certain vehicle. So with the Tanooka version one, you know, we've done a, you know, spoiler, but like a cool looking, you know, I call it like the five O bike basically.
but yeah, one of those sort of bikes where yeah, there's eight different colorways, there's got different logos involved, and some of those have been done by different artists as well. So like Ian Barito, so over at Owen E for example, yeah, we've actually got him where he's done one of the guest vehicles and one of the Estonian as well. So yeah, there's a whole different raft of
of different vehicles really for all these different communities and yeah it just really adds we think to the to the collection you know it adds to yeah you know rather than us just launching it as a standalone this is all of our artwork it's kind of inclusion of yeah lots lots of different collaborations so that yeah ultimately we we find that yeah there's people with
in those communities that then really like to go, you know, actually, I own the driver that has that asset or, you know, same thing being with the vehicles being Twitter bannersized. So, you know, our attention is that some people have, you know, drivers as their Twitter, PFP, and actually have their vehicle in their banner behind it. So, yeah, you can kind of match up the two.
That's a brilliant idea. Like first of all in terms of collaboration also like to tap into some communities which are already built and creating a artwork specifically for them. And of course we have seen the artwork
for the other projects also look amazing. So I think that's a very clever way to start building the community and the fact that you said, you know, the genesis NFT, the drivers NFT could be the PFP and the
is that they can go as a banner twitter banner. So it's a perfect combination in terms of the identity you want to create. So now speaking about the NFTs, the Genesis collection is already out there and we have the race week that
started right so how the two how all these collections that are coming about how are they linked and like what kind of experience are the holders getting yeah totally so they're all very much linked within the law so the the whole story that we've pulled together now and so yeah as race week you know for
for each driver that you own, you effectively claim the Escholon, which is like the kind of the bad guys in the story, you know, the rich elite that float in the sky. So yeah, you get one of those, then you get the vehicle and it all ties in really so that the first chapter of the comic that we're going to put out on the last day.
Yeah, that kind of then tells the story so you know kind of the story that was setting. So why you have a national on why you have a vehicle. And but yeah, very much sort of then tying into the next stage. So then we then have like race teams that we've still already created. And there's like a claw mechanism that, you know, people are going to come to the site.
And yeah, I guess I don't want to spoil too much, but yeah, there's real sort of thought and reasoning. So yeah, like that document that I shared that sort of goes through everything in more detail. And that's very much our road ahead document, but yeah, a complete overview of why we're doing each of those things.
Amazing amazing so I I read somewhere that you guys are also coming up with manga and the first edition of manga is already out so is there any kind of utility for holders
I guess both word got cut in between.
Hello, hello, am I audible?
Okay, okay was was my question audible or like should I yeah, no, I think I'll call the first four words and then it got So we like the the thread that you shared I was going through it and it said that you guys are also
also coming up with manga and that particular interest has since Tanuki was also has a manga and I'm going to ask IT who's the host about to get into the lore of it but before we get there is there any kind of utility in terms of manga that users might get?
from from from drabors. So yeah, I guess we're in regards to manga if you do I guess that's just referring to the kind of the comic book and then where we take it from there. So we did loads of different cameo competitions so there's different members of the community you know as the comic where we're kind of going to distribute the comic chapter by chapter just do it as an NFT.
So people can come, they do a free mint that claims them kind of the front cover and they click on the front cover it takes them to a token and get it apart the website where they can then then read the first chapter. But what are fully our intention is, I think we've written like, well there's like seven or eight chapters now that sort of laid out. Once we get to the end of the story, you know, I'm already looking
into how best to get that made into a physical, basically really nice hard back book. I want it to be optioned so that actually if somebody owns 10 or 7 or 10 or however many chapters, if they have all of those NFTs in their wallet, then yeah it's our intention to be able to basically get delivered
to them this special hardback book we can tie it into which race team they're in so have different lovely covers and stuff but yeah I think the actual physical utility at the moment in regards to manga there's kind of two sides to this that side been the comic book and getting the physical copies out to people but actually the other side is you know we're talking to different animation houses and yeah
There's lots of ongoing conversations at the moment as, yeah, it's a change for us that instead of just having the drivers IP, with race week coming up, we then have the drivers IP, which are kind of the goodies, the echelonb, the baddies, the vehicles, everything they're driving, and this story that
putting together with the comic so it kind of becomes a more complete sort of IP I guess to try and get this animated series put together. Wow that's amazing I think Kush has a question do you want to go ahead Kush? I'm just not a question I just wanted to point out whoever the designer is the artist
I mean did a fantastic job with the designs, I loved the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art, the art,#
Did you define this kudos to them? I just want to point it out. Thanks, kush, that's much appreciated man, much appreciated. Yep, I love it as well, obviously. But yeah, thanks man, that's much appreciated. 100% in fact, you know, the website, like the music also was just wiping
to the synth wave music that you have on the website. Like, you know, like it all goes along very well with the whole theme as well. But like you have also mentioned that you have community involvement in the storyline. So how did that come along? Like, were they involved in the
direction of lore or like can you tell like how was community involved in that part? Yeah totally man so yeah it was really just after we'd minted so you know we it was always on the road map that we wanted to you know get the lore down into a comic book format and yeah and it was just one of the original mentors guy called Tyke on Crypto and we yeah he reached out
out. He was just like, I've done a few comments before. I don't know if you need any help. You know, I'd love to give some assistance. And after jumping on a few calls with him, it was just like, do you just want to be on the team? You know, you're putting a lot of input in here and actually, you know, we'd love to have you just involved. And after that, yeah, we've#
I had a partnership because he's got such a good network in LA. Yeah, there's really sort of grown from there, but yeah, certainly with the story. Yeah, the first chapter, we've got a separate comic book artist, but actually in regards to writing that story and writing the script. Yeah, Tyke, one was crucial. He's been a key element in it.
Wow, that's amazing like to involve community and in your product shaping in such an early stages brilliant and You know along the similar lines. I would like to point out one of our members He's also present here today. So may this here and he has been you know like constantly
coming up with some ideas for Tanuki was low, Tanuki was low is there and he's already coming up with some parallel stories about like you know if this has happened, if the characters are involved in this direction what is happening about them you know, parallel, but yeah, I just wanted to give a shout out to him for the same and
and it if you're here as a host can you also take some time out to tell what Tanuki was lower is about. Yeah so Tanuki was is mainly based upon this lore about you know how this little girl Minato Minato Chan she is this very
cute little girl, the entire story is set around her how she is the chosen one. So the first BB so far released around two first two seasons of Armanga and we also had initially the first volume of it with us as well.
which we moved on to the next one, wherein we had season one and two released a few months back. So the first is more of a you know you can say it sort of gives a background to who these characters are, introduce each and every character in it from Minato Chantu, her you know little best friends
I believe you have something to say. I mean I'm just going to ask you what I could know and should forget about the magical balls of Tanuki's that we represent right the golden balls of ship shifting. I mean, anyone who hasn't known Tanuki's are these chap with features. We have these super paws in their big balls. Yeah, that's correct.
that's the Japanese lore guys and that's all about it. And I'm right now in Kyoto, I'm attending an Investors meetup in Kyoto, IVS Kyoto, we are representing Tanukiya right here in Metaskaya as well and we are going to do some amazing ballsy things that Tanuki balls out there guys. So just want to put out like never forget the
Great great question. Glad to know that it's going that great there. And yes guys Tanuki's are basically you know in our Lord it's day they have giant golden balls and they have the ability to shape shift. So the entire story stems from the fact of shape
shifting a little girl who is you know the main protagonist and her best friends basically Saru Bobo's and is it the first part of it discovers that in general and as we move to the season one and to that that's wherein you know you get to know more characters you get to see
more action there how you know Sarugami one of our other characters is you know in search of this little goal. So you know this entire ecosystem starts from the very you know starts from this very base of this manga and our
collections are also based on that. I think Dynamite is also here he wants to probably I.T. should also bring him and he'll also tell you know what all the specifications are and what his crazy mind is all about the Tanaki words. Yes, sir. We would love to see that what your mind has in store for us your insights would be appreciated.
What's up, what's up, Rukar? Hey, hey guys. Thanks a lot for you know, bringing me up here. So you know, Tanuki was like it's it's a lot of things getting combined into one, but one specific thread which is you know, weaving all of these things.
things together is this notion of network state. So on and on like we have this sort of a fascinating tale around the IP of Tanuki, like this mystical creature from the heart of Japan recognized by its huge poles, but
like when it comes to the real world we are also very much have our foot in the ground and very focused on providing the like the real world utility to all our NFT holders right because even though art has a value but when it comes to the
overall value, the sort of utilities that we provide in real world also counts in. So like currently if we look across, we started off with the Tanuki Passport Drop. So that essentially is the
Genesis community which led down the bedrock of building this amazing culture as well as the community. So, the thing is that these Tanuki NFTs also double down as a passport to Tanuki land which we are shaping
as a network state. And within the Tanuki land we have two prominent district, one is Ginza and another is Hondo. So the Ginza is the sort of the upstate where most of the commercial activities when pertaining to the
state that we are built over here. So you will very shortly see shops which in turn are specifically art based shops which in turn is providing utilities to not just this community but to other communities in terms of helping them build their anime and helping them build their
manga helping to cross-pollinate the communities. So that is the part of Ginza. Other than that, the second part is Honda. Honda focuses more on the core IP and the storyline behind it. So this ranges
right from having those Genesis characters around which the Tanuki stand for. So those individuals, those community members who intern recognize themselves with the Tanuki traits, they intern will form multiple clans and compete among themselves for
and have a well-rounded sort of a game which in term is contributing back to the economy of the network state that we are putting out in Tanuki land. So on and on a lot of interesting things to come up like
even though this is getting built up as a Watt3IP, but you will see a lot of utilities that we are putting forward specifically in the IRL world. We recently launched Tanuki Beer, which in turn is a great testament that the
The vector brands are also recognizing themselves with this particular IP. So other than this, our presence in other communities like Dan Dekadhan, Oneeman Force, EventoQ is a sort of a good recognition of
the utilities that we are putting out altogether in the lengthy space. Thank you, Prakhar for giving us a detailed insight about the whole idea about network state. Network state in general is such a big topic and we can
and hold a separate space for such a topic. But thank you for giving us an insight about that. So yeah, back to drivers guys. And we have one surprise coming up for all Tano Kiwa's members
who are here. So guys as you all know that drivers just drop one of their videos about the race week which is coming up which is starting from 17th I guess which if I'm not wrong. Yeah it is mate yeah wait commence in the 17th month Monday the 17th of July. Yes so guys
which is kind enough to drop one Genesis NFT for all those who will be raiding on that link and the link is shared in our Quiddest space. If you have raided it, please post a proof of it in Yogeichat in Tanukiwa server and we'll be running a raffle and
one lucky winner will be getting a drivers NFT. So yeah guys just wanted to make an announcement about that but moving back to the space guys what we would also like to know
is that you know it's been some time since you started the project which what are the challenges that you have faced in terms of you know community building and marketing marketing being one of the difficult most difficult and you know unpredictable aspect of Web 3 projects like
what are your opinions about it and how you have managed to get the calls? Yeah, yeah sure. So yeah, I'll be honest this, I mean, Web3 moves so quickly that it's this constant thing of wanting to deliver. Everyone always laughs about it in the space and it's like when, you know, when race, when, when claw, when, when
whatever, but actually we've been kind of lucky really that the community we've now built up, that they all understand that we're working on some quite big problems, we're trying to build this into a legit community brand and to do that it's not about delivering something every day, it's about actually getting our head down and
And yeah, obviously putting sneaks out and a little part of it really, I think it's just being quite vocal so the community knows that actually what we're doing is delivering stuff. And that's kind of testament now that we're at this point where we can say the date for race week, this is what's going to happen. We've built a video, a hype video.
So all this extra kind of work and collections that we put together, yes, it's to answer your question, it's been pretty hard to maintain an audience and especially within the market as it is at the moment. And all of it really, you see big projects that put out top quality content and they'll get a few likes on it or a few
three tweets and stuff. So it's just a matter of continually us sort of building on it and just carrying on going really. When we originally minted back in November, it was a crazy day man. It was probably the closest I've ever been to a breakdown to be honest. So doing four minutes and four days here, I'm sure we find.
No man, yeah, I mean like coincidentally we also minted we will be launch our Genesis collection in last year November and like yeah, it was a Helter's shelter for all of us and we were just you know like all of us
online for almost a day like we had a bit of time and we had to make some changes then in there we had to make some decisions also but we have shots which also here and short so if you'd like to give your
all two bits about your experience in terms of you know like the challenges that we have faced and like marketing ideas that we continuously discuss like if you have anything to say about that.
He texted me that he was getting rucked but maybe that's what the issue is. But I think you are muted yourself if you have anything to say on that.
Yeah, so when it comes to the entire marketing, how we plan to market the or how we are actually marketing entire Tanuki versus as not only one which you know we have a lot of we have a very rich lore we have a very rich character
with us here but we also have to keep in mind that this entire thing has been made over. The fact that we have such a rich story of an ancient character of an ancient animal. So we were using that folklore and we were using that emotion here and that's how we right now are planning and will continue
continue to build a rip in that sense as well when we build the entire notion of a brand as the one that you know associates itself with those tails those four clothes from Japan so that's how we are trying to shape the entire IP as when it comes to the brand especially.
Totally yeah, I mean marketing remains the toughest game of all like this my personal opinion is like you know despite having the best product best artwork I think this whole space is very attention-driven
and we see a lot of threats being written on Web 3 as the attention economy, especially the NFT collectible space. So, there are so many aspects to it, but you have to be very quick in terms of, you know,
like how you are unfolding your roadmap and like how much information you want to reveal about the product that you will be launching. So we all know that you know we are Tanki beers are coming up but like we are taking you know we're taking it a bit slow in terms of you know figuring out
like what kind of marketing we want to do for it and I'm sure which must have planned this through as well for you know the latest drop that they have come in. Yeah big time man and yeah shout out to Panjain man he's obviously he runs an agency but yeah he's a strict
for details man, like everything, every last bit of everything is planned. You know, there's very, very little dislike off the cuff, you know, everything's for about. And yeah, like, look, you know, not to go back to that document that I was sort of posted to the top, but yeah, you know, we've got sort of method behind the madness for all of it. And yeah, and that's, that's what we kind#
So moving forward, before we move forward, one last thing that I wanted to ask about was what is the, why is there a specific duration with the race week? What's up with that? Yeah, really, we want to do something that I want to start with.
or to try and grab the attention of the space. I've never seen anything like 4-3 minutes over 4 days. So yeah, it's really to get people hyped beforehand, to be honest, to try and drive secondary, you get some people buying drivers beforehand because that's the only way you can be involved.
And yeah, we just want it to be kind of a week of fun really, you know, like, free mint on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and then we'll have our spaces on the Friday and press the reveal button on the spaces and everyone can see, you know, not only all of the work that we've done on the vehicles, but like the guest vehicles, the rares, the single colorways, you know, all of this stuff.#
that we've been working on for so long now. So yeah, that's why it's within that week is that we thought, do we want to spread this out or do we want to just have a really big week? And then that just lines us up. And yeah, to be honest, we've already spent the last couple of months working on the next bit as well. So yeah, it's
trying to make that, you know, I guess, trying to sort of only attention and only space for a week, anyway. So is there like with all the vehicles that the Genesis holders will get to mint? Is there any kind of race like, is there any kind of game that you are developing?
What's the experience going to be like with the vehicles? Yeah, so initially it's just minting it as an NFT to go in the Twitter banner. I can't say too much, but yeah, we're basically in conversation with various different providers looking at different sort of game mechanic options and yeah, nothing
nothing cement yet. So yeah, I think with all the decisions we make, we're going to kind of throw it out to the community as well. You know, sit and see where they want us to take this. I can, I speak to loads of people about loads of different stuff, but yeah, we can't do everything. So yeah, there's the decisions that we'll definitely throw out and see what everyone wants us to do with it.
I think we got some little bit of alpha there that you said we can't reveal much but then yeah maybe you guys are discussing game mechanics so we have definitely some cool stuff being happening in the background. We definitely won't try and build it ourselves I'll tell you that when I think man we're not we're not we're not trying to build a driving game like
You know, that's too much, man. We could try and build it, but why not go to somebody that's really good at building driving games? And then, yeah, like I was saying before, it's kind of an IP cell then that you can go in and say, "Actually, we've got all of this artwork for vehicles, artwork for drivers and baddies, and this is the story, and yes, it's kind of a different approach#
Well, you know the artwork and the whole brand and the kind of collaborations you're doing is like A's man like it's all looks very fantastic and we have you almost reached
We have reached 50 minutes. Last 10 minutes from members who have joined. If any of you have any questions, guys, the floor is open and curious about any questions you have for Mr. Ridge. Just go ahead, guys.

amazing amazing alright guys so we are reaching the end of the space just any few final words where do you want to say to everyone before we close off yeah I guess just just yet if you like what you've had a look at you know if you want to become a part of the drivers ecosystem and content
