You can always take it off after the space, but we really appreciate it while we're in here
Again, really appreciate you all taking the time
It's going to be a good chat and we'll give it about five or so before we jump into it
We'll see you next time

cool i'm ready to get into it ck i hope that sounded good coming through uh my phone speakers
because there's some weird sounds in that but i feel like that one sets a good stage for what's
coming today uh with these two awesome developments but ready to get underway amazing amazing yeah let's
song set the mood wow for sure definitely got me thinking like venom and stuff you know if it's
if it's the vibe but ready to jump into it uh how are you doing welcome up
hey guys can you hear me okay yeah you sound great how's it going
excellent i'm doing good i agree the music was super good and it made me wonder actually do you
guys know whoever picks the music for this do you know bonobo bonobo rings a bell rings a bell
my favorite musician if you like that music you just played like that first song i would highly
recommend i think you would like him a lot if you have a recommendation dm me the song and i'll play
on the on the outro oh i could do that okay okay sounds good bit a bit of live collaboration
there uh we love it nah that that does ring a bell but yeah i love working to that sort of music and
um i've just been leaning into it because i found it works really nicely just for starting these off and
i try and do a similar thing with the music choice as when i do my articles um just looking for like
different uh more intricate ways of like messaging um sort of the ethos of the project and and what
i'm covering at least for what i pick pick up in it because we know dgens don't like to read too much
and so with my articles the if they just look at it with the pretty visuals you get a a bit of
messaging about what the project's about and then i feel like with this if you set the right music
sets the mood then you can go right into it and people already have a sort of uh higher level feeling
of what it's true man it's true and and i notice in your articles too like you know i'm in a lot of
the communities where you post them and it's really like you know it's a it's a strong selling point it's
very unique insofar as you know like you know when you start looking at one of these reports
you know immediately it's bungalow you know it has that sort of signature to it that just makes it
instantly recognizable although i do have to say because i'm in you know probably nothing and fusion
and like a couple of those other ones whenever i get a ping simultaneously from all of those
communities i i know that you've posted an analysis it's always kind of funny only only the real ones
get 100 pings when i post it's hilarious hell yeah awesome well um got some exciting stuff to jump
into today um sort of sort of two different avenues uh meeting at a head here and i'm gonna gonna try and
go through this intricately so that we can uh capture capture a high level of both quantum as well as uh
what's going on over at venom chain so um cool ck do you wanna do you wanna kick it off with with just
getting a asking about a higher level yeah yeah that'd be wonderful would love to get
a high level on what you guys are doing not only with the project but also just an introduction
yourself so you know get us started
absolutely happy to and i'm gonna really set the preface here and say that the sort of world we're
building the vibe that we're trying to create by starting this whole thing off it is one of
sort of mystery you know like if you look at our twitter page you see it's got some very well
written tweets and it has some uh messages about you know i would call it a mixture between mysterious
and also incredibly ambitious and that's exactly what we're kind of going for and because of that
we're being very careful with the information that we're releasing so far and that's why you know
when it comes to docs teams and whatnot when it comes to quantum that's not something we're doing
yet but i can already you know tell a little bit about myself as a representative i mean i've been in
the space a very long time and i've been trusted by the quantum i team to sort of represent them
in this case you know i i talk to them pretty much constantly and um yeah i mean if you guys ever
hop onto the quantum i discord uh you can see like i'm there as the representative the account is
called the i and if you look in there like you can see who i am and yeah when it comes to the project
itself it's it's a very it's been a very interesting journey sort of working for a collection that's you
know not only quite new and interesting in terms of the art style of the collection and the sort of
level of prestige we're trying to bring to it but now like you guys mentioned you know you have that
extra little added layer of oh this is the first collection in this huge blockchain that's coming
out and everything and i'm gonna admit like the first time that i was hearing about it i was thinking
you know at a surface level oh cool venom blockchain that sounds kind of nice you know this sounds fun let's
go for it the more i dug and the more i realized you know i slowly realized how big of a deal it
actually was because if i can just you know a little bit of introduction about venom it's gonna be
it's essentially a layer zero it has its own blockchain as well but like you'll be able to build
out of it and it's a blockchain that's essentially uh licensed by adgm which is the abu dhabi global market
so you have that kind of you know support backing it that's a lot of money first of all but it's
also a lot of organization and a lot of infrastructure and the more i read about it i started seeing
numbers like you know billions invested and things like that that sort of yeah made me open my eyes a
little bit wider and then you know seeing the people behind it and just noticing how big of a deal it
was it uh sort of sparked my interest a little bit more and now that you know the venom discord is
live and that the test net is live and seeing just how many people are in there you know chatting
constantly frantically you know trying to go for you've got the airdrop hunters you've got the devs
in there you've got like tons of different people just sort of excited about the ecosystem you know
like you do have of course a couple people that are just like okay when airdrop when airdrop but
there's some really good conversation to be had in venom's discord as well and that's why like when it
comes to quantum itself like we know we've got something special just in terms of a you know
historical then perspective as being like the very first collection that they have but then you know
there's the added we want to add a little bit more onto that and that's like what we're going to be
slowly releasing throughout the next few weeks and months as the test net continues to roll out
you know as the main net gets closer and closer uh that's when the reveals are really going to start
from us so to speak awesome yeah and uh i know we have a little bit of alpha coming a little bit later
today but no that's one thing that i've really enjoyed seeing like following the nft bubble um sort of
after that deflation period through layer twos like polygon and then seeing this now with venom as
well it's cool seeing sort of these new chains and and just uh chains and blockchains in in more
infancy uh looking to partner with these like culturally relevant um sort of structures and mediums to allow
like a better community building within like these actual like underlying blockchains um so that's
really exciting to see and it's cool to see the innovation in in the incentives that get thrown
around with that um but no thank you for for taking that high level on venom um wanting to to sort of
move through this so that we can take uh the listeners in with with the right amount of context as we go
because um i know there's sort of an intricate uh balance between the two so you gave a high level
there um could you just break down quickly to you what the core differentiators um venom has uh in
comparison to the rest uh of the blockchains we're used to using uh the rest of the structure where we're
all used to using and and what value propositions that really uh brings to people in terms of regular
defi or even moving into into nfts yeah totally i was hoping you would ask this question um yeah no
there's i mean very different you know uh ways that you could pitch venom to the to the average you
know human being not so even someone that's not done necessarily technically savvy but the way that
i would sort of do it would be in two parts uh the first part would be just from a business perspective
and a business background and the second part would then be you know from a technical standpoint what
makes it actually different as you know a blockchain when it comes to the technical specs
and i promise i won't get too complicated when it comes to that but i'll explain some you know
surface level bits uh as to why you know it's so interesting so first of all uh i should set the
stage like we are quantum and i am going to be talking about venom a lot just because our success is
very contingent on their success and there's a lot of you know momentum going with venom and a lot
of backing so like there's no doubt that they're going to do really well but we always want to you
know support as people that are you know essentially tied to them and so yeah just to give a little
bit of a background then on venom they have been around for a little while um i'm guessing you've
probably seen at least through the one odd tweet or some airdrop alpha that their test net went live
something like a month ago i want to say a month and a half and they have been uh boasting some
absolutely insane numbers when it comes to the transactions that they've done so they released
some units some statistics just two days ago there have been already in the test net so far 183
million transactions 16 million smart contract accounts have been created almost 600 000 wallets
have been created which is incredibly significant and 3 million nfts have been minted and by nfts minted
they mean like their rewards sort of program that's how you can go for airdrops they have this nft reward
system for doing different things on their on their test network so yeah pretty big deal uh like i said
you know it has a lot of saudi backing behind it and you know it's worth mentioning that it's the only
one that has some saudi backing behind it and insofar as you know it's the only one that's licensed by
adgm like i mentioned before and yeah when you look at the people behind it i mean it's also it also
gets kind of crazy like it almost feels like it's out of a movie first um you know one of the
chairmen is peter kanez if you guys don't know who that is i suggest you google him he is the former
cio of blackrock now if you guys have been in web 3 or defy or anything for any amount of time
or any sort of finance you know what blackrock is uh there's all sorts of theories about what they
what they do or what they've done and everything but everybody knows who they are and a lot of black
rock's you know success or notoriety i should probably say is very much attributed to this man
and he's you know one of the chairman of this blockchain which is you know already a massive deal
and then you've got this other guy mustafa kariba who is um you know he basically helped develop
abu dhabi's financial group from a little startup to like a 14 billion dollar company essentially
so you've got some really smart incredibly ambitious business people that are behind it
and it's already been revealed that through the venom ventures fund uh there have already been
a round of one billion dollars in investments like with a b and that's only the beginning so
that's a huge amount of money i have rarely seen the word billion be used when it comes to you know
defy or blockchain or crypto uh you know startups essentially and that's a very good you know
bullish sentiment to start off with yeah that's that's amazing just one if i can poke on that um
from my end with one piece um just interested i might be digging a little too deep here let me know
if i am but um like as you said you've got a pretty established within the team um within venom there's
there's a a really high level um in terms of like experience history and just having that established
name in in like higher level investing r d things along those lines and i know that venom is looking to
sort of put its head out um and establish itself as as one of the blockchains moving closer towards
regulatory guidelines and working with uh regulators and such so i from my understanding i've known that
in terms of crypto investments and web3 investments there always is a bit of a hold in terms of
institutional money throwing uh their their hands in the mix because of those regulatory questions so
just curious as to like whether that that fact of venom actually taken a closer step towards um
being compatible with with uh regulatory guidelines whether that plays into it um or if there's uh just
how you see uh the actual reasoning behind that um why so many bigger investors are actually
poking their heads up um in terms of venom not just for the user differentiation but but the actual
potential for for wider scale use yeah that's a very good question uh like what i should mention is
i know that there's a lot of decentralization maxis out there and if you are one of those then you know
this project may not be your favorite one but it is going to be you know very much out there and it is
going to be regulated like i said from the abu dhabi global market i mean that just needs to be said
and they have mentioned already that they want to become a hub this is one of their many goals that
they have to manage cbdcs and if you don't know what a cbdc is it's a central bank digital currency
so you've probably heard the odd news story or two about this recently it's actually quite a hot topic
um and yeah it's just a very interesting topic because when you start talking about this you know
to decentralization maxis that's when you sort of start to lose them so to speak but uh they have
sort of taken what i would say a fatalistic approach where you know they say in terms of
is this going to happen a hundred percent you know cbdcs and if someone's gonna help them and
manage it and stuff like if someone's going to do it if it's going to happen it might as well be us
that's that's basically the mentality with which they've been approaching it i would say yeah i like
that and yeah one thing for me is like it's always easy to look at the people that don't necessarily
agree with your development or your product but just because there's people that don't agree that's
doesn't mean it's a bad product it's actually a good thing because nothing can be fit for everyone
and especially in such a dynamic and diverse sort of sector and space is this especially when we're
talking about finance and investing and there's such varying levels like as we've just seen
there's low level investing with meme coins where you can literally throw down whatever you want and
potentially 10x with absolute speculation in the mix whereas i imagine the people that would be
coming to get involved with this would be those lower risk higher and um investors that are that
are following regulatory guidelines more closely and maybe want to see some exposure into this market
but maybe don't have sort of the infrastructure within the existing um developments to actually
take that risk or justify it to investors say you're a hedge fund or something along those lines so
no i think i think the more diversity the better the more the merry and i think this just yeah an
alternate route for for different people coming into the space and that's a beautiful thing um so
no love what i'm hearing yeah no the mass adoption aspect is definitely an important part of it and
like through their communications you know they've been very i mean surprisingly open and transparent
about you know what their goals are about what their vision is about what the practices are
and if anyone is curious about that they can definitely go to the their website i think
it's venom.foundation and they can start to read up on it there's a bunch of medium articles about it
and everything so it's definitely worth doing a bit of research on and if you i've also heard people
talking about like a disconnect because of the you know institutional uh i guess backgrounds of the
people that are involved i mean the announcements that they have been making have been very
bullish from like a infrastructure perspective so like some of the first big strategic partners that
they've partnered with one is called dow maker which is all about you know ensuring and and being a
launch pad for new projects hacking which is like a security uh and auditing company and everscale which is all
about scalability so they're they're sort of you know they're covering basically every check mark that
every box that needs to be checked basically when it comes to this cool and yeah that's just the the tip
of the iceberg with those investments yeah i love it and um clearly there's still time to get involved
over there too but um no based off what you're saying with the institutional sort of um nature and mindset of
of the people running it um i think just the fact that you're up here right now uh and what i spoke
about before about these emerging blockchains bringing in those closer and more tight-knit
partnerships with with nft projects which has the capacity and a better ability to actually generate that
culture that can bring people together um to form a community and sort of be that base layer and that
layer zero of a blockchain so whether it's natural or not in the way they think i think it's clear that
they acknowledge that that is an important factor and they're putting um people with the right minds
in the right places because you're up here talking about it right now and clearly you're passionate
clearly you're passionate about it so it's uh making some right moves over there um but awesome that was
yeah great breakdown into into venom but i think it that's perfect to to move us into into quantum ice so
um just to bridge that a little bit could you go over sort of like how that partnership formed um
whether quantum i was a separate entity and that came together or whether this sort of
came up within venom and um how the concept overall was actually initially conceived
well this is sort of where we start to reach that level of um i would say disparity between myself and
the founders of the project so i do know like i can tell you what i do know and that's that the project
does go way back and that it was i think i'm pretty sure later brought on to venom uh don't take that at
face value uh i that's just the amount that i know currently and yeah uh based on what i've heard
venom has been very you know responsive and everything i mean we we exchange with them a lot
and yeah a lot of what we have been doing has been at least in these beginning phases right because we
can't mint until the venom mainnet goes live and that means that we're sort of tied to the test net as
much as they are currently um we have been sort of prioritizing venom wallet creation uh on top of
you know most things so like a little background about that is we've sort of made ourselves
uh wallet creation quota and we've been giving away you know we've been doing different giveaways and
and uh how would i say initiatives based on those that have been able to create venom wallets early
and you know submitted in our giveaways and that's another interesting little bit of alpha too by the way
is the the giveaway platforms like alphabot and subber and everything they've been very quick
to add venom onto their list of supported blockchains after having been pitched with us
and that's like something that we were able to you know enable that was like a sort of quantum initiated
thing was talking with uh apelist and you know getting them to integrate venom into the into the
alphabot server so if you go to alphabot and in the settings and you look at the uh you know mint
wallets you will notice that venom is one of those and that's why you know like there's
there's um there's there's so much i actually wish i could share but we are really being careful with
when you know why and how we release our information just because we're sort of playing on and trying
something new when it comes to people that have been really adamant on making sure that they have like
you know a fully doxed team and you know a well laid out blah blah blah everything
we are a part of this billion dollar funded ecosystem the collection is going to be a freement
so there's no financial incentive in there from us and by the way just based off of the venom
blockchain you know the way that they work with their transactions that was something that i wanted to
get into before um they don't really have what you would call gas fees but they have transaction fees
and the average transaction fee is going to be about half a cent so basically our collection will
cost you essentially half a cent when the main net goes live um yeah but a little bit maybe about the
collection itself if you guys have seen some of the sneak peeks on the um on our twitter page
you do notice there's the 3d aspect and there's a lot of mystery surrounding this whole concept of
the third eye and that was something that was also very you know interesting and important for us to
share appropriately because that's like an integral part of the lore of the project and it's essentially
like um sharing in the beginning that sort of energy that the third eye is something that can be
represented and interpreted in in so many different ways in a way it's subjective from person to person
what the third eye actually means to them and it's been an incredible journey actually being able to
ask people you know as a as a sort of challenge on the twitter how they interpret the third eye
and like seeing the the myriad the plethora of different and varied you know diverse responses
we've gotten from those people has been quite amazing so that just goes to show that you know
the the spirit is definitely there and yeah everything is right on track with us so far
i do wish i know you guys want some of this more info but when it comes to like very concrete details
and stuff that's something that i have to you know wait on but it's if not shared now then it will be
shared later i can at least say that yeah no worries well in terms of like the alpha that you
have in the bank i can i'll tell you right now that everyone in here has their lips locked so
you can let that all like go free and we'll keep it under locks and you know um do our bits here and
there to push out the alpha but nah i love that um in terms of residing on venom how do you see this
actually differentiating the experience for you guys as a team and then for the holders um as opposed
to being on different blockchains um and maybe the blockchains that we used to be yeah that's been
that's been a really interesting one especially because a lot of the like people that we have in
our community it's the it's a really interesting mixture i would even say it's 50 50 between like
crypto people and nft people and so you get that sort of interesting uh you know i guess learning
platform almost where people have been talking to each other about you know how this thing works or
how this thing works and yeah that's been a little bit of an adventure and it's very interesting as well
because you know we know that the the time between a test net release and a main net could take a very
long time right it could take months well we don't know exactly but you know usually the average time
between those is substantial and we make that you know very clear to our people we do get a lot of
when mints but uh you know we have it on our faq we will be minting once the venom main net is live
and yeah it's uh it's interesting to see because a lot of our people in there they're very
uh patient you know they're they're happy to wait for it essentially there's not that much
impatience which i have found to be incredibly soothing when you've been in the meme coin like
space and ecosystem for a decent amount of time uh i found that quite um refreshing and we have very
nice conversations with the people in there and everything and people talk about their experiences
on the test net and whatnot and it's just it's full of optimism uh you know full of possibility
and just full of generally like i not i wouldn't even say hype but like it's more
genuine excitedness for the future you know i don't know if you want to like i don't know if
there's like a way to differentiate those two things but that's definitely i feel like that's a better
description genuine culture and genuine culture exactly exactly and you notice that all of the
people in there you know it's fully organic and the conversations in there are very genuine
and yeah it's it's it's really been a pleasure working with them so far especially now that the
test net is out and people have been sharing their experiences and i've been sort of you know helping
along the way um yeah it's been a very interesting it's been a very interesting journey and also just
you know working on a project like this it's been incredibly fulfilling seeing then the numbers you
know when it comes to the events that we've had and the way we've marketed and the way we've distributed
to see those results then show in like a fixed number of venom wallets that we've created
it's actually incredible to see and yeah i mean the number of wallets that we've been able to
create through our project has been incredibly substantial you know it makes up a very good
it makes up a decent fraction of the total wallets that have been created and we're super happy about
that yeah i can imagine and i can imagine that's a huge value prop on their side and um something
they're really leaning into and like i was saying before that understanding that um these the structure
of these nft projects and and sort of web 3 developments uh that facilitates that culture
and that community i could go on about my my fears about that being a positive feedback system and
just generating more gravitation as as it builds and um i can i definitely can tip my hat to to just
the fact that they can acknowledge that and put the right people in place to to actually make that
happen um yeah and if i can just add a little just one little thing like it's when it comes to the
the genuineness of the whole thing it's something that i really like and and have rarely seen anywhere
else where you have this level of excitement you have these people that are here you know and they're
willing and they're sharing information with each other and no one here's the crazy thing no one in
there is talking about money or moon or you know this is this is going to go insane or whatever there's none
of that like standard hype that you usually have you have people that are literally saying i'm so excited
for this blockchain this is going to be huge you know what are you expecting from it etc etc i'm sorry i just
wanted to mention that again because it's it makes it very fulfilling then as someone who's like in charge of the
community to see those sorts of interactions it's it's very nice yeah no i love that i appreciate
that it's a great indicator for um early early parts and times in a in a in a cycle and so for anyone
that's a that's a good indicator if you look at ordinals or anything around where those that community
and culture starts to generate um it's always the genuine interest and curiosity that sort of initially
leads it and then when the the decimal places after the dollar sign come afterwards that's when the
rest of the culture comes running in um because that that genuine culture does breed genuine success
and and interest and experience so no that's amazing and in terms of actually seeing that and just being
on the inside knowing that you um are one of the biggest like as you said you're you guys account for a
huge number of the wallets that are on venom so there's uh quite a bit of like um instilling in
uh not accountability but just responsibility in terms of yourself for being in that position being a
spokesperson for venom and and such and seeing this this culture start to emerge that's so beautiful
and something that we really want to strive for in the space um have you two sides to this first have
you seen as a result of that any other developments or people show interest in coming and building in
there or or um like just getting their foot in the door and how are you guys actually facilitating that
like opening doors for other people facilitating onboarding of other um builders into that ecosystem
yeah i mean i should say like uh second to creating wallets creating venom wallets
our second you know really big goal that's incredibly important to us is being able to
you know be in a position to enable other people that want to build in the blockchain so this is a
really cool thing that venom are doing they actually have a grants program if you go to the venom
foundation website it's one of the things at the very top so you can see it right away but essentially
they are trying to you know bring people onto the blockchain uh through you know a very good
and generous grants program where you know wherever whatever the stage of the project may be that you're
in you know whether it's even just the very beginning you know ideas brainstorming etc or something
that's already been you know laid out and that has a little more structure they have a little something
for all of those people you know so they they have a platform where you can pitch essentially your
project and you know if it's good if it has you know if it if it takes all the boxes basically then
you're going to be able to get a grant from venom for building on their blockchain and that's an
incredible you know thing to be able to do and and it's awesome to just know that you can you know apply
for that very normally especially for an institution that has this amount of funding it's definitely
something that uh builders i would definitely recommend looking at and we want to enable this as much
as possible and that's why whenever there's new projects that are building on venom if they come and
reach out to us to us like either on the discord or on the twitter or anything we immediately kind of
put everything down and we're like oh nice you're building on venom too you know let's work together
let's make this thing work as well as possible that's uh incredibly important to us because
you know you can have a couple of venom based projects that have a bit of prevalence but
when it's really coming to you know widespread adoption you want to know that there's a little
something for everyone and so that's why you know people have already potential layer two you know
blockchains that they want to put onto venom people already have nft collections that they're
trying to pitch or just general like uh you know um how would i say just generally like posts about um
sorry i just completely lost my train of thought no worries i've got i've got a question to segue
off that just jumping back to what we were speaking about with the nature of venom having um a foundation
built with institutional investors and such and um obviously you touched on it but that high funding
um aspect is actually a huge value prop like you said for builders just for actually getting amongst
there seeing what is possible over there and um just curious as to your time um if you have been like
communicating with those people or just just observing and seeing the sort of things they're interested in
like what like nature of developments within nft projects do you see actually proliferating and and
like succeeding over there in terms of i guess this is speculation involved here but it's it's more so if
you've seen them show interest towards any sort of nature of of nft project or or just web3 project as a whole
well i've noticed a couple of things i mean first of all like you do notice that there are a lot of people
that are there and reaching out and building on venom because of the novelty of it all you know they're they're
thinking oh maybe this will be the next aptos or maybe this will be the next you know so and so chain that just
that gains a lot of hype therefore let's build on there that is definitely up there but what i do notice as well
is that there are a lot of like really earnest people that said hey we saw this we saw these posts
by venom or we saw this post by quantum and they then say oh okay there is something that can really
be done here you know there is a very a pretty basic easy pitching platform where i can actually just
present my business idea and you know have it actually be listened to and actually like receive
tangible feedback from people and that one's always been super interesting and so like the the majority
of people that have reached out what i could say is like through the discord is people that have
you know i would say like the young ambitious types you know the ones that have a good idea
the ones that have like a vision for a collection of theirs and that they're saying like you know a lot
of the time it's looking for guidance about how to really get started or how to use the grants
program and things like that so yeah it's it's uh if i were to categorize it i would say mainly
up-and-comers but uh they are people and you do notice like they try to sell themselves well so like
that they do their homework on venom and everything and they talk about oh asynchronous and scalability
and they're like okay there's like a lot more future here than you know in something like ethereum
and things like that and that's always really nice to hear but uh yeah i mean it's it's kind of a
mixed bag like i said but a lot of it is very very earnest builders that are just enthusiastic about
the chain yeah that's that's genuinely amazing to hear that really really ties into one of my uh sort of
core beliefs and something that i'm really excited for in the future looking at all of the sort of
catalysts going on around the world and and everything that's changing as we're going from
more of a localized world to to a globalized world um with decentralization and the connection
of the digital world that like degrades these geographical barriers so that there's no limitation
in terms of who you can meet when you can meet and just bringing these people together and we've seen
in online communities how it allows like niche interests to like communities to form around niche
interests in a much more scaled manner that then would be possible in in physical and localized um
environments and in terms of people creating and actually going out and building and being
working for themselves creating for themselves following their curiosity um it's it's an amazing
thing seeing how like never before we've we've been been able to connect individual people doing
following their individual creative pursuits with these huge investors which would never have been
able to be done before and there's so many different avenues for how that's possible in so many
different ways for how we can actually explore that in the future so things like this really excite me
um it excites me for the future as like things like ai and the access to knowledge and information and
just the ability to to follow your creative concepts and pursuits um i think as we have better access to
build on our concepts and then better access through things like venom um to actually put those things
into action get resources to put those um things out into people's hands i think that's when we can see
a lot more diversity in terms of creativity in the world and bringing um those issues to fruition so
no i think the model here overall really excites me in terms of just the partnership and i've been
preaching on it but the fact that the team behind venom acknowledge um the the significance of the
culture in in web3 communities and such and how that can generate such a powerful force in cumulative
action from from the base layer of a of a blockchain community so that's that's really amazing to see and
just just interested in terms of um that partnership between the two of you so obviously there's a lot
going on pre-mint um in terms of how you guys are supporting each other and looking beyond mint um how can
holders like expect to to actually benefit and and see the inside uh scope of of the venom blockchain
um through quantum
well there's going to be some different ways so the the second way is the one i'll mention afterwards is
uh the alpha that i promised everyone that's going to be a pretty important and crucial part
and the first part is of course then having to do with the main collection
i mean we already you know with the team and everything we were already thinking okay
as the first collection in this blockchain we are perfectly poised to make things happen
so we're like okay how are we going to move forwards we sort of uh you know there is a plan in place
the supply of the collection is going to be 1000 it's going to be very small very exclusive
and when it comes to benefits that are down the line for people that are involved and you know
maybe heavily invested in venom all i can say right now is that you definitely don't want to
miss out on the quantum aspect of it it's going to be incredibly important
but as for tangible things that i can reveal now i can now if you guys are okay with it drop this
little bit of alpha that i've been waiting to drop so um if you guys know if you guys are aware
venom has launched their test net and people have been doing different tasks on the test net
in favor of minting nfts that i mean has not officially been revealed yet but everyone is sort
of assuming that there will be some sort of airdrop involved um we are very happy to be announcing
that quantum eye society is also going to be dropping a test net nft collection
this is going to be a collection that's arguably even more exclusive than the other one i won't give
you an exact number when it comes to the supply that information is going to come a little bit later
but this will be a collection that will be buyable and tradable on oasis oasis is basically venom's
open sea so to speak like it's their first big nft marketplace and currently there are three or four
um you know collections on there that are meant to fuel the test net so to speak by buying and selling
and transferring these things to each other and you will be able to buy and sell this quantum eye
collection on there as well and yeah this is incredibly exciting news for us because it's it's
incredibly validating to be mentioned you know at this close level to the test net itself and
when it comes to how these test net tokens are going to be allocated uh there are going to be different
ways to do this um what i'll say so far is you know we'll be doing some of the more classic uh giveaway
style things where you know we will be yeah maybe running some things with different communities
maybe we'll be dropping some things via twitter or on the discord maybe we have yet another thing
planned for the test net that i absolutely cannot talk about right now but that will be revealed in
the coming weeks that will also be involved with this collection and i would love to be able to give
out some of these spots right now to people that are listening so bongalow can i drop a little
hashtag for people to use oh go right ahead man so the hashtag i would like people to use if you guys
want to be a part of this test net collection is hashtag quantum test i'm making this a little uh how do i
say this uh it's i'm making a capture-esque you know so the people that are here and that are
listening are going to be able to put it in and people that uh you know haven't been listening well
too bad for them but hashtag quantum test and then just tweet anything we will be sifting through that
hashtag with the uh different amounts you know in the next i would say tomorrow we'll sift through some
of these ones and we'll be reaching out to people then to make sure that they get some of these spots
so one last time hashtag quantum test and it's really important that for this of course since this
is going to be a test net thing and it's going to be on the venom test net you do have to create and
install a venom wallet which you know to all of the i mean i know there's a lot of quantum eye people in
here to all of the builders block people in here it's a very simple process if you go to venom dot
foundation they have like almost they have it almost step by step for anyone and it's just as
simple as setting up a metamask wallet or a phantom wallet or any of those so there you go guys in case
i didn't mention it enough hashtag quantum test that's the final time i'm going to mention it i love
it um feel free to pin like give it a post and pin it up top as well if you want to um but yeah
definitely get amongst that thank you so much for for giving uh our community that opportunity uh we've
also got a a premium giveaway coming for the main collection that's going to be pinned up top uh
done by yours truly ck when when i'm getting the music going on on the rollout but
no let me let me just dig into into that a little bit into that alpha um and first of all i appreciate
that alpha we always love uh the homies bringing the alpha to the builder's block that's uh that's
how we do and so i know that this will be on a test net so in this is how i'm picking it up we're
looking at this as the value core value prop will be historical significance um or will this actually
play uh into the ecosystem for quantum yeah i mean we have our entire sort of structure laid out so if
you're in the discord you will see that we have some certain um you know we have a different we have
different roles we have different uh structures in place so we like we have our venom wallet og role
which is not going to be open for much longer by the way so if you want to hop into our discord
and get that one go for it uh that one's also something that's going to get some benefits down
the line we then have our visionary role which is you know basically just the white list for for the
collection and then we're going to have the test net collection uh all of these things are sort of
playing into you know a larger game associated with venom that's going to be coming out uh as the
test net rolls along i uh as always like i say have this uh fifth amendment uh thing that i have to do
right now just because of the information that i'm allowed to divulge but keep nodies on for quantum
and for venom and i mean we're in the midst of like the most exciting time of those two ecosystems
essentially with the pre mint phase and the test net phase so yeah uh while i'm not sharing anything
here i mean you can be sure that a lot of important aspects are going to be shared later on so be sure
to stick around for that i love i love this uh this perspective and and uh sort of avenue we're taking
where you're standing and trying to tread the line and we're just pushing trying to trying to poke
and find the alpha but you guys heard that a game coming that all this is tied into so that's
something very interesting to to look forward to awesome um well that's kind of the game we're trying
to play with the community as well a little bit is like you know we know the traditional questions
that everyone is going to ask and we're just saying not yet no no no you're gonna have to you know
wait a little bit be patient because they know there's something there you know they know it's a
freemint and it's with one of these huge new blockchains and we sort of want to keep people
in suspense so to speak you know keeps it a little fun keeps it keeps people on their toes oh most
definitely and there's there's a beautiful formula behind that one there so yeah no completely understand
um awesome well i think this has been a bit of an unorthodox one uh covering the blockchain but
something it's been really interesting um being able to dive into a lot of a lot of the questions
that my curiosity brought up um which has been fun but i think it'd be good to utilize this time
since we're coming to the top of the hour to um really look back over what we what we covered today
and sort of give a high level on it all um if we can in terms of uh the significance of venom
significance of quantum how they tie in together and how people can best uh position themselves to
to actually get amongst it for sure so yeah uh i'll recap this as best i can because it is a lot
of information but what i will say is uh venom is i've mentioned this in the very beginning it's the
leading it's going to be the leading blockchain basically in the sort of abu dhabi area and what
that really means is it's going to be the only one that's licensed by the abu dhabi global markets
the adgm and it has a billion in funding in initial funding and it's headed by people that have been
involved with things like the abu dhabi global market itself and blackrock and like these massive
you know institutional entities that have been there uh in addition to that there's been you know a lot of
um speculation about what else is involved in everything but what the essential is is that
the culture is still being respected which i really like and in addition to all of this
infrastructure that we're seeing and this sort of you know business-like expansion that we're
uh noticing on their twitter page and on the articles about them and everything
they're also happily initiating and onboarding new people by use of their grants program
and just one final thing about venom then uh when it comes to why venom and not any other blockchain
other than that business case scalability is arguably the biggest bottleneck that exists in the
ethereum blockchain and through the use of being an asynchronous blockchain venom is sort of
circumventing that um yeah i don't want to get into the technical details too much but
if you want to look it up you absolutely can they explained it on their website
and quantum has been following on this sort of road that venom has been on
by being the first nft collection on their main net in addition i have just announced
on here that we have the nft test net collection for quantum that's also going to be dropping
and that there will be opportunities to get a whitelist for that coming up soon i also mentioned
it here before i'm not going to say the hashtag again i'm sure people are probably all sharing
it with their friends anyway but uh yeah that's one also big important thing to keep in mind
and yeah this has been an incredible journey to be a part of to be honest and like you said
unconventional unorthodox is one of the you know more interesting ways to actually define this
because of the way we're positioning ourselves because of the way we are um you know playing out
our lore and our rollout as well as the added you know new blockchain sort of perspective
but it's been an incredibly gratifying uh very organic and very almost you know uh i don't
want to say wholesome that sounds too cliche but just a very heartwarming way to you know roll a
project out and see a lot of authentic excitement so if anybody's interested you can hop into venom's
discord you can hop into the quantum my discord and yeah there will still be plenty of white
listing opportunities coming up amazing stuff well from my end nox um well i just gave away who you
are uh well from my i don't care it's fine from my end i appreciate um you greatly for today um
didn't know exactly what to expect coming into today putting together the questions uh was interesting
seeing how i could sort of uh organize it to touch on both venom and quantum at the same time while
while still telling the the core story but um no really really love what i'm what i'm hearing
overall in terms of the approach from from both parties and entities there and um like i said hats
off to to the venom team for really recognizing the significance of of uh web3 culture and actually
integrating that at an early stage and i think this is this is one of those opportunities when um
you you don't know how it's going to go but uh for sure it's a very early stage and there's a lot of
money um and big brains being put behind this development and like you said um there's some
special culture being built inside there as well so all things um adding to a good formula um and in
these quiet times when there's not too many people uh around that's when that's when those special
things do usually do usually make their start so um absolutely love what i heard today gonna gonna
for sure be keeping my eyes out um around quantum especially for for the test net drop and everything
around that i think if venom does um in the future establish itself then these sorts of these sorts of
assets and things will be quite historical and significant in terms of the the narrative and story
behind how this was all established and actually came to be so um very interesting um discussion
today i really really appreciate it and um ck if you want to if you want to wrap us up and i'll get
some some bonobo going for us on the way out hell yeah amazing amazing yeah thanks again so much for
coming on it was amazing learning i'm really excited to see what what you bring to web3 definitely
you got some really exciting stuff on the pipeline thank you so much and for the for the uh outro i
might send you guys some tweets for you to pin up there if people are interested in learning more
about the ecosystem time to roll it out feel free to pin those up top everyone that came in today i hope
you really enjoyed this discussion it's been interesting on my end and i got to actually dive into a lot of
questions that weren't actually planned out a lot of ones i've got two pages full of written down
questions from past hours so very interesting conversation um a lot of respect for this man up
here and and now i hold a lot of respect for the two entities that he's um representing so
huge respect for for you mate and um thank you to everyone for coming out make sure to to follow up on
on the the opportunities that are here today and um keep your eye out for what's coming with the
builders and for quantum thank you all so much have a great weekend thank you guys this is bonobo
requested by the man himself
this is the perfect friday movie
nox i'm gonna take my puppy for a walk um a little hike with this music going after this
just that again have a great weekend everyone ck feel free to close it out whenever i'll just play it
