Thank you for listening.
Thanks for having me.
B&B chain and elsewhere, because it's such a better model as people become more and more
passionate about their digital assets.
Okay, so I think we're going to move on to GAMIC now.
If you remember the question, we're basically wondering what are the most innovative or
exciting qualities about your project that you would tell someone if you just had like
less than a minute to get it across?
Oh, I think a minute is enough because our project is really interesting.
But I'll just take a step back and introduce what GAMIC is.
GAMIC is the first community super app that's removing the barrier to entry to crypto.
And so we have exciting features like ability to send tokens in chat, which right now my
grandma can actually get into crypto.
We are going to be releasing features like community tokens, social graphs, which basically
allows users to maintain control over their data and followers.
And we also have a drop about to be shipped out, which allows you to be able to a drop
tokens, NFTs to your community based on different parameters to award them for example, attending
a Twitter space like this.
And we have other exciting features like a breach.
We would allow you to breach other social media into the GAMIC platform.
So we have a lot of exciting things.
And I think after this space, if you still want to learn more, you can hop over to our platform.
Absolutely.
You know, I think, you know, projects like GAMIC that are helping people to onboard, talking
about getting his grandmother into crypto, guys.
I mean, that is extremely cool and exciting.
I'd like to see how she's getting on.
That sounds interesting to me.
And by the way, to his point earlier, guys, if you could do me personally a favor, if you
could do B&B Chain a favor, make sure to follow all of our speakers and the projects that
they are representing, right?
They are super busy.
They're taking time out of their busy day to sit here on Twitter and talk with us to
educate everyone, to give everyone a bit of alpha about what they're working on.
So let's support them too by following them and then keeping up with them, interact with
their projects, play their games.
I think you're going to find a lot of value.
That's the whole reason why we do this space is to let everyone know about the exciting projects
that are launching onto B&B Chain.
Okay, next up is going to be MetaFab.
MetaFab, how would you describe your most exciting qualities of your project?
Yeah, great question.
So I think the first is how we build and who we build for.
So we build extremely quickly and we build for some of the top games and ecosystems in
the space.
The next is what we build.
And we really do have some of the best tech.
As an example, NFT Worlds onboarded 100,000 traditional Minecraft gamers.
And the majority of these players had zero Web3 experience prior.
They'd never touched a wallet.
They'd never touched crypto-based systems.
And even still, we're transacting with each other, having no idea that what they were doing
was partaking in this Web3 ecosystem.
The other thing that we do is we build for our clients, but we build not bespoke solutions,
but solutions that we then open up for anyone to use.
Treasure, which is over on the Arbitrum ecosystem, they needed a way to connect their 15 game portfolios,
both first and third-party games together in a way that had zero friction for the players
that were equally as inexperienced with Web3.
And so we built our ecosystems functionality, which now any developers can use.
This is a permissioned organizational structure between games that allows for a consistent login.
So with login with Treasure or login with NFT Worlds or login with Into Your Game Publishing
or game studio company name here, you can connect all your games.
Another thing we're coming out with soon are smart contract wallets and wallet abstraction,
which enable things like subscriptions and consistent multi-chain addresses
and a number of other really cool and innovative takes on this new standard around account abstraction.
So in kind of in summary, it's how we build fast.
We build the best tech and we build it because we're really passionate about Web3 gaming
and seeing the adoption of the space grow.
Yeah, Web3 gaming.
I mean, it's something that we just continue to see growing, growing interest.
And you see it represented across so many different styles, types of games.
And I think like tools to help people build them faster is just going to be so crucial.
So awesome answer there.
Let's head over to Obvious.
I mean, what's your take?
What would you tell people is the most exciting thing about your project?
So there are a lot of wallets out there, but pretty much all the wallets that exist today
were 150 plus wallets, right?
They've been built by the geeks, for the geeks and developers.
So our wallet is for anyone who wants to do crypto without really getting a PhD in Web3, right?
So we have some really cool features.
Some of them are something like seedless recovery, right?
So we're getting rid of seed phrases while continuing to have EOA wallets.
So you can back up your seed phrase without really getting access to it in parts using your device,
your social circle and your cloud account.
So that way, if you don't really even know your seed phrase, you're not going to accidentally leak it
and be susceptible to scams and hacks, right?
So one of the other cool features we have is no chain switching.
We've done a lot of improvements to the way we work with existing dApps so that you don't have to really select a chain
and operate in the silo or the context of that chain.
You can just sort of forget about selecting chains and just operate across chains.
Another cool feature we have is one-click swaps bridges is pretty much the coolest way
and the fastest way you can swap, cross-chain swap and bridge your assets across different wallets,
different currencies, different chains, etc.
We are coming up with a really innovative feature called as PayAny,
which is essentially powered by an account abstraction-based smart contract wallet that we are building,
which allows you to sort of pay your gas for any of your transactions using any ERC20 token.
This will, again, make it very easy.
People, I mean, users don't have to even worry about the context of what's a native token,
what's the token they're required to pay gas in.
They can just pay the gas that will be deducted in the token in which they are transacting.
And the best part about Obvious Wallet is you can get all this awesomeness while continuing to use your trusted wallets
like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, etc.
because we allow you to integrate all these wallets and tie them up all together in one wallet, which is obvious.
Please give it a try, guys.
You'll love it.
Now, one thing that stands out to me about Obvious is just probably the most obvious or simple thing that you see is like the branding, right?
With so many people interested in crypto and Web3 but not sure how to get involved,
to make it obvious is quite attractive, right?
We've heard a couple of projects on this call talk about the same thing.
And I think just even the name Obvious, it's like pretty enticing if I was a new user.
It's like, okay, they make it obvious, they make it cool.
So I think that's, yeah, that's one point that's sticking out to me,
just aside from all the impressive technical things that were just mentioned.
Let's move on to Ribbon.
What would you say is the most exciting or innovative thing about your project?
So I think to understand how innovative was the teleworld, it's worth giving a bit of background.
So usually like discoverable strategies are a bit restricted to more sophisticated users with larger amounts of capital.
And they're very hard to be accessible for retail or anyone who basically may be bullish or may hold some crypto
and wants to earn yield in this crypto and not into some random shitcoin.
So what we did was basically allowing any user with any size to enter these complex derivative strategies
and earn yield in the native currency.
So this is what we did.
And we've been doing this since two years to the point where now we try to kind of perfect the model
of making it as capital efficient as possible, making the execution the best possible,
such that the yield for the users is actually the highest possible.
So, yeah, I think just our bringing these products, which are usually only available OTC for large counterparties,
was a big innovation.
And for more products and other products we're working on, you can follow us on Twitter
to be updated when anything new comes up.
Yeah, I can say Ribbon is really working on some cutting-edge stuff.
There's been a lot of chats and murmurings in the B&B Chain office and my colleagues talking about
how important what they're developing is and the value that it brings to B&B Chain.
And so really looking forward to keeping up with them and seeing how that develops.
We are going to move to Stella for the last part of this question.
And most of us know from Stella, if you're keeping up with them, they have amazing artwork.
Lots of us are anime fans.
And if you're not, you probably will be after you play Stella or check out some of their amazing visuals.
But so that's probably how I would answer the question.
However, we're here to have them answer the question themselves.
So Stella, what would you tell people is the most exciting part about your project?
I'm going to be honest, that was actually a very good answer.
But our version would be Stella Fantasy is an anime-styled RPG game
that utilizes both Web 2 and Web 3 components in the overall game flow.
Regular RPGs, role-playing games, they always have characters and gear,
which is basically like the norm of all of this genre itself.
However, characters and gear in Stella Fantasy are NFTs,
allowing players to actually fully own what they obtain or craft while playing.
Characters can grow in various different ways.
People can utilize them.
They could even apply different traits,
making each one of them very unique and has their own value,
which is why users will have the feeling to collect them all.
In addition, we also have our own marketplace
where people can freely trade their characters and gear NFTs with each other.
Say, for instance, you have a character that you really can't find
or a gear that you really want,
chances are you can't find them being sold by another user.
However, to grow these NFT assets that you play in the game,
you will have to, and I repeat, have to utilize the in-game features.
Each player is provided a frontier town,
which they need to use to manage in order to get resources and craft your gear.
The reason why I'm saying this is essential is because
not only does it help progress in the game,
but it also levels up and strengthens your characters, gear,
and also other in-game items.
To make words short,
all of the gaming components in Stella Fantasy are connected with one another,
thus allowing players to have both the Web 2 and Web 3 gaming experience at the same time.
Amazing, yeah.
And keep in mind, guys,
as our speakers are talking about their projects,
you can click on their profile.
It will not kick you out of the space.
You can scroll through and see what's going on with them.
Specifically, for example,
as Stella was just talking there,
I went onto their profile,
I scrolled through,
saw some awesome gameplay footage.
Guys, this is like a real cool game.
It's not like some, you know,
little Web 3 kind of thing that sucks.
No, it's like a legit game.
It looks awesome.
And same for all the other projects.
I think GameFi has the advantage of being a bit more visual,
so it kind of jumps out a bit more.
But there's so much to learn and appreciate
if you just go to each of the profiles of our speakers.
And then you'll see in the list of listeners here to the projects,
some of their accounts are also listening along.
So make sure to follow both the representatives
and the official accounts as well.
And as they're speaking, go to their profile,
learn a bit more, get some context.
Okay, guys, so we're going to move on to our next question.
About 40 minutes have already flown by,
so we won't have time to ask every single question
that we have on our list.
However, guys, I am going to skip ahead to question 10 on the list
if my guests are looking at the list of questions,
because I think this one is actually really interesting.
I want to hear about it.
And it's pretty easy to sit here and talk about the positives
and paint this perfect picture of what you guys are building.
But I think it's also really interesting to hear about
the challenges you guys face, right?
Whether it's in your development, in your marketing,
in the scaling of your projects.
So why don't we talk about that?
What are some challenges that you guys have encountered,
foresee, and then what kind of things
are you guys doing to overcome them?
So let's go back around the horn and start again with Anima.
How would you answer that question?
Yeah, so for us, it's pretty funny.
It's more like when you talk about the identity topic,
I think that everyone in crypto feel, you know,
think immediately about KYC.
And that for many, many people,
this is a very frustrating process.
So for us, identity is way bigger than simply the KYC part.
You know, it's like, how can you prove you're unique?
How can you reveal some information about yourself
while keeping full privacy?
And at the end of the day,
the KYC part is only a fraction of the big topic.
So automatically, when we talk about what we do,
often we hear like, yeah, but I hate KYC.
And I hear you.
I really hate doing KYC myself.
But what we are trying to tackle
is way bigger than this compliance part.
And the purpose for us is really to have the user sharing
exactly the right amount of data that is needed
and that everything that is not needed shouldn't be shared.
And, you know, once again,
how can you prove that you're unique
without sharing any information at all about yourself?
So that's where we have a lot of work to do.
Yeah, KYC is just one of those necessary things
that we have to do,
but always looking to improve on the friction
and ease of accessibility
for people trying to onboard onto Web3.
So how about we kick that question over to CyberTitans?
What kind of challenges are you guys facing?
And then how would you seek to address them?
Well, when we talk about products
or stories like the timelines right now,
when you have to release different versions
of the video game
and you don't want your community
to be, like, sad or something
because something is missing
or you have some bugs or things like that,
it's, like, pretty...
We're pretty struggling with that,
but actually we released a version
that is super stable.
There's people from China playing,
people from South America,
and we have only servers in Europe right now,
but as the game is turn-based,
they can do it.
And another thing
that actually I think is affecting
mostly every single project
in the Web3 ecosystem
is the marketing.
The marketing here in Web3
is way different from Web2.
We have to be pretty clear.
Mostly 90% of the people
in the Web3 ecosystem
are speculators
because I think this market
hasn't achieved yet
its maximum,
its premium,
so people don't know
what Web3 tools are right now.
So they are inside
just to speculate with coins
and so on.
And connecting this kind of marketing
with the product you have
in your token
becomes a very, very difficult thing here
because you have to face it
in a Web3 way,
like going marketing,
going, like, pumping your accounts
and, you know,
FOMO-ing the people.
And afterwards you realize
that less than 10%
are really using your product.
So we are facing this thing
through tournament organization.
It's like we have
an airdrop campaign,
for example,
but it's like way,
way, way smaller
than the tournament campaign
that we're going to release
in two days.
Actually, I think
it's going to be massive.
Maybe the price pool
is one of the biggest
in the market,
in the Web3 market,
and it's going to be public
on Thursday,
yeah, day 20.
And we want the people
to play the game
and to win games.
So it's like we established
what we call the win-to-earn
in order to win prizes.
This is not a play-to-earn.
We run away, actually,
from play-to-earn.
And this is a competitive
gaming way of focusing it.
And we are linking this
with the marketing
because we really want
real users to use the game
as our token economy
is based on the usage
of the token
inside the ecosystem
and how it absorbs value.
I could say, like,
marketing is one
of the biggest issues
in the web space.
Yeah, I think,
if you were really listening
to what was just said now,
I think there was a lot
of really interesting
perspective
shared right there.
how do you market
and promote yourself
when a lot of people
are just looking
in Web3 of, like,
how can I make money
off of this?
these are projects
that want to make,
a real substantial product
for people to play
and enjoy.
But the balance
between that
and the people
who just want to
or exploit it
or whatever it is,
just how you go
about marketing
in that environment,
I think is something
that all Web3 projects
of all verticals
are trying to figure out.
So thanks for sharing that.
what about you guys?
What sort of,
struggles and challenges
are you guys facing
and what are you doing
to overcome them?
I think for us
that will be time
because we are competing
against your everyday
traditional wallet
and messaging app
and there are basic features
which users require
and to be honest,
users are not our patients
when it comes to features.
So the only way
that we're actually
having to do this
is by working very hard
and trying to give the people
what they want
and finance
is another thing.
Building a Web3 startup
from Africa,
you're kind of,
judged differently
from your competitions
maybe in the West
and so we don't really
have a lot of investors
who are trying
to write checks
to Web3 startups
but we are actually
bootstrapping
and running lean
putting in our best work
to try and get
our products out there.
That's amazing
and I think,
launching on B&B Chain
hopefully will make
a huge difference
for you guys
and I think
we all hear you
and we all want
to make sure
even in underrepresented areas
that everyone
is able to build
hopefully on B&B Chain
but no matter
where you are
I think hopefully
you're able
to get the funding
that you need
and you guys
have a great product
so let's hope
things keep going
in a better direction
and keep improving
so how about that?
what do you think
about the question
What challenges
are you guys facing?
How are you addressing them?
I think it's a problem
that we all face,
It's what problem
are we actually solving
and how do we position
our solution
around that problem,
It's a positioning question,
it's a marketing question,
it's a general solution
in business strategy question.
We're all here
defining the future
in our case,
the Web3 gaming landscape
looks like,
what the business models are
that work for publishers
and developers,
they're being explored,
some have come and went
and others might be here
and so we need to
be constantly adapting
our solutions
and product
around this
rapidly evolving
and changing landscape.
what problems
are we actually solving
and every week
that seems to change
a little bit.
the biggest challenge
is just making sure
we're staying up
with the landscape
and what's going on
and building things
that people need
and that help them.
as you said,
that statement
right there,
as general as it was,
does apply to so many
Web3 projects
and hopefully
the problems
that they're solving
are adding value
to people's lives,
giving them,
whether it's gaming experiences
that they enjoy,
tools to help them,
with their business,
whatever it is,
we want to make sure
that we're providing value
with these projects
so we can create
and BNB chain
seems to be a real
powerful platform
to do that.
I'm really glad
that you guys
have chosen us
and let's move on
to Obvious.
What sort of challenges
are you guys facing?
at Obvious,
we are a mobile-only wallet
because we feel
browser extensions
are inherently
a very risky
and unsecure technology.
if you look at
a lot of users,
users continue
to have a perception
if they transact
on a desktop
it's a lot safer,
it's a lot more
granular control
changing this perception
and getting
users to switch
from desktop
one big challenge
and we're not
too worried
if you look at
the history of
consumer behavior,
pretty much
everything,
anything and everything
that you used to do
on a browser
has moved to mobile
so there's no reason
to really believe
will continue
to access crypto
on desktops.
for whatever reasons,
a lot of users
do continue
to access crypto
from their desktops
while it should be
just as seamless
to access it
and get going
on a mobile.
one challenge
and we are
very happy
to sort of
rise up to that
and solve it.
the other one
we are new
in the market
we just launched
around three months
In general,
wallets as a space
user take time
newer wallets
and so that's
another challenge
pretty much
on a daily basis
sort of solved it
by allowing
continue to use
their trusted
inside of you
so as a user
you can add
as a wallet
within Obvious
and you can get
all the amazing
while continuing
to sign your
transactions
with your existing
trusted wallets
so that's how
we are mitigating
that challenge
and the last one
is we don't have
a token really
and we don't have
plans for launching
so the traditional
way to distribute
your product
native manner
doesn't apply
We understand
getting organic
traction takes
and we are
well prepared
we are a lean
we've raised
a small amount
and that's one
challenge where
how do we continue
to build up
organic traction
without having
the need to
issue a token
the third one.
Yeah, scaling
I mean that is
something that
everyone faces
and I think
especially to your
point right
a new wallet
I mean everyone
is pretty set
with the MetaMasks
of this world
but there's
always room
for additional
features and
functionality
especially for
in my experience
I know many
people who have
found MetaMask
to be confusing
or as much
as people in
or who are
listening might
think that's
funny to find
complicated
Yeah, absolutely.
So it comes
down to maybe
a project like
making things
more accessible
for people
but getting
that traction
getting that
of marketing
just discussed
it's a matter
of you know
there's so much
and nobody
perfect answers
it's just like
investment
that investment
how do you
there's so
into answering
these questions
this has been
my favorite
whole space
everyone's
nice pitches
about what
they've got
but to hear
about like
challenges
that's what
an entrepreneur
That's what
challenges
and building
your project
despite it
so of course
we're going
Stella now
their community
manager here
vantage point
challenges
actually one
challenges
that implements
components
that itself
constantly
our project
we emphasized
time management
as the most
important value
in our game's
three main
production
and combat
role-playing
in-facilities
figure out
of strengthening
characters
management
experience
environment
functionality
the markets
and beyond
really pay
development
technological
blockchain
technology
distribution
traditional
industries
billionaires
successful
definitely
definitely
and Florian
with what's
coming next
people have
been playing
stupid games
are seeing
companies doing
proper games
and I think
community from
is going to
keep growing
and growing
so we have
in mind to
create five
five years
reach it we
would be like
super super
super happy
decentralize
the publisher
the gaming
is controlled
by publishers
allow anyone
tournaments
quick games
have their
license of
the publisher
and everything
it would be
awesome in the
keep growing
and finally
create like
an ecosystem
with different
kind of games
where anyone
can play a
everything
with close
and community
that would be
definitely
another vote
continuing to
burn bright
and I think
we've had a
representation
question to
success for
us actually
being able
to onboard
Africans to
as possible
as providing
financial freedom
and opportunity
especially for
internet savvy
population like
what we have
is not just
something that
we are doing
it's something
that actually
cross-border
something that
gaming platform
actually provides
and allows
it's something
that we see
would expand
and increase
the interaction
between different
the economy
blockchain
application
interesting
technology
way forward
the continent
interacts with
each other
million users
as success
would definitely
be a success
we are right
behind you
that effort
same question
success look
then how can
people keep
up with you
in the future
we've already
we've already
achieved success
in a little
bit of ways
completely
the experience
completely
frictionless
community driven
and developed
and we have
community of
people around
think that's
what this is
developers
contributing
collaborating
innovating
and unique
and progressing
that respect
we've achieved
the standard
gaming wallet
hopefully we
the second
the question
I apologize
second part
follow you
on Twitter
the discord
anything else
you'd like
yeah I can't
missed the
most important
that doesn't
missed the
the twitter
our discord
both great
constantly
loud voice
posting you
actual code
process is
going it's
the kitchen
so another
great person
interested in
keeping up
personal level
there's the
thanks for
not letting
cannot forget
about this
really well
like giving
of twitter
where people
they're just
reading off
things that
they're supposed
we've gotten
some really
like authentic
and you know
interesting
discussions here
and feedback
from you guys
so definitely
do appreciate
let's find
success look
for you guys
in the future
in an ideal
second part
you'd like
us to follow
or like to
for individuals
for merchants
enterprises
essentially
the neighboring
interact with
the technical
intricacies
understanding
the underlying
on whatsapp
without worrying
essentially
in the future
and transfer
blockchain
understanding
the underlying
constructs
like networks
and gas fees
that's when
full success
co-founder
co-founder
especially
innovative
strategies
is performing
really well
and obviously
they would
strategies
what we're
especially
because we
also recently
launched our
options text
which is called
feel free to
Twitter as
trading volume
there would
derivatives
become like
the ecosystem
represent a
it I would
on Twitter
additional
big things
just based
I've heard
colleagues
the projects
here as well
that's why
today guys
what would
success look
the future
and then how
can we keep
up with you
going forward
developers
to provide
the feeling
their game
various updates
and adding
new content
would help
more enjoyable
playworthy
really needed
which is why
the decision
characters
as mentioned
people can
providing Web
opportunities
for players
get together
that would
yeah almost
forgot about
check more
Stella Fantasy
and Discord
we also have
like Instagram
and TikTok
various guides
be helpful
newly added
new members
if you have
tavern chat
take a look
for reminding
you definitely
do want to
Stella Fantasy
for exactly
that we're
every couple
we're going
to introduce
all the new
are coming
introduced
the newest
that you'll
find linked
maybe you're
you're not
following our
main account
speaking from
going to get
info about
whether you're
a developer
whether you're
whether you're
blockchain
we're going
the twitter
space tweet
know if you
enjoyed this
and we'll be
week or the
week after
with another
new project
I think this
went really
well so I'd
like to say
thanks one
see you next
appreciate it
