Cured a 500,000 OP grant from Optimism.
And now, Ancient 8 is using this funding to empower you, the builders.
So what's next?
Following the success of Ancient 8 Builder Jam,
Ancient 8 is now officially kicking off the Ancient 8 OP
Grant Program Season 1 with a massive 200,000 OP Token Prize
Pool.
The program focuses on two key groups.
Number one, existing projects.
You can register from January 15 to February 28.
And the other group is prospective projects. You have a groundbreaking idea? Register between January 15th to February 28th. And the other group is Prospective Projects.
You have a groundbreaking idea?
Register between January 15th to February 15th to get started.
And here's the exciting part.
If your project qualifies and is approved by the Ancient 8 Grant Council, you can receive
up to 25,000 OP tokens.
This is a perfect chance to bring your ideas to the blockchain.
So apply now and be part of the innovation revolution with Ancient8.
Yo yo what's up guys? Oh boss I think your mic is muted.
Oh my god my mic is muted. How can you hear me a while ago when my mic was that?
I didn't even click it or something.
Yeah, I think it's a technical issue, but that matters.
Yeah for sure.
And now GMGM guys, and welcome, welcome, welcome back to another session of the Inside Scoop
where we get some alpha's news and know about more of our partners. So how are you, King?
I'm fine, I'm fine. I've been busy these past few days but now I'm just set the ground, how familiar are you with Ancient A.I.V.E.?
Like, I didn't even tell you that I'm gonna be asking you this on the backstage. This is totally on the spot.
So I just want to have like an honest feel on how much do you know about Ancient Eight and you're laughing right now.
Yeah I'm actually laughing because I really don't know
much about Ancient Eight. I just know that
they have connections with Stellar Forger
so that's really much it but yeah that's it. I really don't know anything
about Ancient Eight anymore so actually this is a good event.
So, to know more.
That's also one of the main reasons that I actually push for this show.
I want people here in our country, the Philippines especially,
most of our people who's watching our shows are from the Philippines
and I want them to know more about what is Ancient Ape,
what they do, what are their plans,
and probably we are gonna be
having some juicy leaks as we go along the way. But we are not going to be discussing this
amongst ourselves, King. We have a very special guest, and he is no other than the partnership partnership and community manager of Injun 8, the amazing Justin D.
My name was up! Let's go!
Yo! GMGM, King, Seal, thank you guys so much for having me today.
Really an honor always to collaborate with you guys in all the ways that we collaborate together.
So really excited for this one and appreciate you guys
having me on man, looking forward to it.
For reals man.
And the moment I saw you guys during the GMBN event,
I was actually amazed at how amazing this folks are.
Actually, my first interaction with Justin was after we
demolished their team in Infant 8.
That did happen.
That unfortunately did happen.
I had a good view of it too.
I was standing in front row while that happened.
But they're amazing people.
I love their vision.
I love their products.
Their creators are top tier.
I really have to say top tier, and they just really shape the standards
of Web3 creation on the space.
So Justin, just to formally introduce you to our community,
can you tell us more something about yourself,
and maybe let us know on what Ancient 8 really is all about
from the start, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So just a little bit about myself. mag-iwala nito sa mga pang pang-iwala na ito ay ito sa mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga m Ancient 8 is actually the first web 3 company I've had the chance to work with and I've gotten to work closely with the marketing team
Head of community is my position at the company and also working with the BD team
So the great thing about working in a startup like ancient a we get to work across a lot of different teams. So
It's been a lot of fun, you know for those who don't know ancient a we did start out as a gaming guild back in the day
So that's still very much in our roots right now.
Like you said, the first time we met
was actually competing face to face in a game
because we still very much do that.
And our community and our content creators
are still very much actively playing games
across the industry.
So that's still very much in our blood.
So what AncientAid is more focused on these days, so we did start out as a gaming guild,
but since that time, we've also been building infrastructure.
We've been building products for Web3 gaming.
And one of the first problems we looked to solve very early on in that venture was with
space3.gg, which is essentially a game questing platform that helps games with go-to-market campaigns.
Anytime a game has a big campaign going on, they want to reach users, they want people to come in
and explore the game, come in and explore the ecosystem, they can set up a quest on Space 3,
and we essentially support that in an on-chain way. So players can go in, complete those quests,
a lot of them are in game quests.
And it really filters out, you know, a lot of players that may be non valuable type of
players and really brings in people that are excited to play games, try games, and, and
essentially be able to tap into some rewards like Web3 should be. So started with Space
3, and then eventually realized that, you know, we needed to even deepen our infrastructure even more.
And that's where we saw the opportunity to actually
go ahead and build out our own L2.
So that's the stage where we're at now
in the evolution of Ancient 8 as a brand.
We've built out an L2 on the Optimism Super Chain.
And it's a gaming focused L2
that has now allowed us to bring Space 3,
the product that we developed, onto our own chain,
as well as work with other teams to actually bring their gaming projects to Ancient 8
and help those teams to expand into the Ethereum network where Ancient 8 is built.
As you guys may know, Superchain Optimism is in Ethereum layer 2, So this allows us to bring gaming to Ethereum
and make it faster, make it cheaper,
and really help game builders to optimize
and build in the ecosystem that we believe
is going to be a very successful ecosystem
in blockchain and in gaming essentially moving forward.
So that's where things are.
I won't dive too deep.
I'll let you guys throw some more questions out there, But that's essentially high level where we're at these days.
I thought Justin was going to be doing the monologue of everything.
We're going to go through every project one by one, boys.
I won't do that to you guys.
I just realized right now, is Space Gigi like,
called Space Gigi because it's literally like a launch pad
for games like a platform or is there like a background? I'll go into the background of
Space 3 because I think the the story is is kind of cool around the name so the the name Space 3
I do like the fact that you mentioned launching because it is something that we do focus around
is like a lot of the campaigns that we do are typically around when a project wants to launch something, whether that be,
you know, play the airdrop campaign or whether that be an NFT, you know, NFT asset collection
or whatever it is, that's usually around the time that they want to do big campaigns across
the space and they'll utilize space three enabled in order to be able to do that. But
actually the name space three is we wanted space three to kind of be like the third space for gamers. So Starbucks actually made this very kind of famous idea of a
third space. So you have your home, you have your job, and then you know, Starbucks should be like
your third space where you go to hang out and maybe do some work, hang out with friends, whatever
the case may be. We wanted space 3 to be the third space for gamers.
So you got your job, you got you got work, and then you got the place
that you come to explore games, discover games, tap into rewards.
And, you know, maybe even hang out with some of your friends
while you're grinding some of these these quests.
So that's where the namespace three came came about.
But there's kind of so many kind of spin-offs you can have fun with for sure.
Oh my god I literally thought it was because of space because um some of the entities as well are like
space kids or something. Yeah there you have you have so many good reasons to think that because
the branding is definitely tapped into that whole like space vibe for sure. But the real as in the
real reason why is because this is your third home.
Yeah.
Exactly.
It's your third space to come hang out and do what gamers do.
Go out there, play some games and tap into some rewards.
The Web3 way.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
I was actually quite happy when you tap on that.
You guys started on as a guild as initially,, right? Engine 8 started as a guild.
Because even on the games that I have been playing,
you guys are still killing it. You guys are still dominating it.
I have played Super Champs, you guys were super strong on that game.
And when we actually also played Pixel Heroes,
you guys also have your own guild there still.
So the gaming community is still really alive within Engine 8. na maaari na na-pixel heroes, nilang mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga pangalang sa mga p on everything that AncientAid has been doing. So King, do you have any questions here for Justin?
Actually, I have a question for Justin
regarding the community and ecosystem.
Justin, how does AncientAid's infrastructure benefit
both gamers and actually developers?
Yeah, fantastic question.
So from the infrastructure side,
that's really where we look to support developers.
So with Ancient 8 being an L2 on Optimism, when developers come bring their games to Ancient 8,
there's a couple of things that they can be certain about.
One is they can be certain about security, which is obviously so important when it comes to the web through world,
as we all know and have seen, security can be kind of a crazy dynamic in this space. So one thing
that we want to make sure is that when players and builders come to Ancient 8, they can be secure,
and through the Optimism tech stack, that's something that's really taken care of. Secondly,
we know that how important for game builders to be able to actually be able to scale a product
in blockchain gaming is
they need really low gas fees. Let's just be honest here, right? Games, they can't afford
to be passing off high gas fees to players. Players don't want to deal with that. Players
want to focus on spending their money in game for assets in the game or to be able to move
their way up the ranks inside of games. And that's where their money should be spent. So being able to create a layer
where we're really able to bring gas fees to minimums that, you know, games can either
cover themselves or if players are tapped to cover it, it's something that they don't
even have to think about is a hundred percent important. So those are just a couple of examples of really kind of laying the infrastructure
foundation. And then from a community side,
we realized that technology is just one part of what games need.
And these days it's not too difficult to spin up the technology yourself.
Even a lot of games have started to sometimes spin up their,
their own blockchain, you know. So from a technology standpoint, it's not really something that I would say is so different from anything that exists in the market.
There are definitely other high level infrastructures that exist, but we also realize that infrastructure is just one part.
The other part is games really need a go-to-market partner.
They need somebody that understands how to build community in gaming.
They need a team that has connections
that can help them to connect to the product services
and communities that they need to get out there
and really bring their game to the market.
They do need certain infrastructure
that we might be able to offer that's a bit unique,
like Space 3 is a great example of that.
Being able to help game partners have a place where they can set up their campaigns and utilize those campaigns to
do big pushes and things that are going to really help them promote the game. That's an infrastructure
layer that we can support them with. And then from the community side, we have our own in-house
content creator team. As you guys know, you know, our guild community that operates under Ancient Aid Gaming.
So we have players that can come help, you know, support, you know, tournaments and events that
they're doing. We have content creators that can go out there on the timeline and promote the things
that these games are building. And we really just look to become a co-builder with the games that
build on Ancient Aid Chain. So we got the infrastructure covered, but we also look to be the partner that they need to help them really bring the
game to market.
And that's what we think is kind of unique about our approach as a,
not just being a chain,
but also really being that partner that games can look for.
And I'm really looking forward to what you said earlier with a lower gas fees,
cause right now in the web three space, it's actually the biggest problem of the Web3 community, the gas
fees and I'm really looking forward for lower gas fees within the
Ancient Ape. And it's actually quite easy to have your own funding as well on the
Ancient Ape chain. What I do is you can actually have two routes that I know of.
One is you can transfer your two routes that I know of. One is you can transfer
your funds through Ethereum which is probably going to be like the extensive route and you can
go for bridging. But what I like to do is to transfer my funds on Arbitum then go the bridge
towards the 8chain through Ethereum. Then on their, they have this called Dojo.
So you can swap your tokens there directly to AA tokens.
So that's like the cheapest way to do it.
If there's like a more cheaper way, let me know.
But it's actually quite nice.
No, yeah, still actually that's some, that's some fantastic alpha.
Yeah, there's a couple of different approaches and some different ways to do it.
I'm, I'm a bit more of like, uh I would say like the the lazy user that just wants to use like the fastest swap possible
It's probably not the cheapest way, but it's like the quickest way and that like
That's my that's my way to go about it
But yeah, that's that's also some great alpha
And then of course once you have tokens on H&H chain when you're transacting on the chain
It's like, you know fractions of a cent to do transactions.
So the cost becomes so minimal that it really does
make it scalable for a game to really be able to build
a lot of different mechanisms that players can interact
with and we've even had some games that are building
basically fully on chain games and they're able to operate that because these
gas fees are so low. So that's the beauty of spinning up an L2 with optimism and the technology
is only getting better there and that's truly what's going to make things really scalable for
gaming on the Ethereum side, especially where it's in the past been known to be more expensive,
though even the L1 of Ethereum is even finding ways to kind
of bring their cost down as well which is just better for the market overall as that
continues to happen year over year.
Nice.
Actually pricing aside as we all know the gas fee for the AE chains is really low but
I would like to really commend the performance of the chain.
It's really, really quick. Once I have like my
E-tokens when I was playing seller forager, all the transactions were just like, it's there.
It just happens and it just works. And if you are a person like you didn't come from a web
free background and you have like have this tokens already on your account and all
and you try to purchase things with like a token like the energy for seller for your it just
happens magically on the background you don't need to sign anything there's no additional portal that
you need to do your things on it's just just plainly magic. So you have already tackled about like
those specific products or those specific projects that builds fully on-chain for Ancient 8. So
can we know what which projects are this and how can we get more involved as a community,
as players or even as esports professionals?
Yeah, absolutely.
So I think probably the best way is definitely to go check out the AncientAid super app and
that's the place that you're going to be able to find everything that's building within
the AncientAid ecosystem because one thing I would say about AncientAid is we are really
expanding and growing and definitely a hundred percent, you know, a majority of focus is still in the realm of gaming,
but we're even expanding even with products,
even outside of that,
or I would call even different verticals of gaming.
Even in the ancient ecosystem,
we have a platform now called Very.Fun,
which is essentially its own kind of meme coin
launch pad ecosystem.
A lot of you guys will be familiar with that.
A lot of gaming ecosystems are starting to tap into that side of kind of the
the meme coin gaming culture, right?
Because that's very much a game in its own right.
We have games like Stellar Forger, as you mentioned a few different times,
you know, a lot of different variations of kind of genres for
kind of players to tap into,
depending on what kind of games they like to play.
We have mini-app games, games on Telegram.
There's a variation of genres depending on the type of player
and what you're looking to explore.
The Super App has it all tied together.
You go there, it's the place you'll be able to discover the games
and experiences that are happening on the AncientAid ecosystem, but that's the place you'll be able to discover the games and experiences that are happening on the AncientAEco system. But that's also where
you'll be able to swap tokens, you'll be able to tap into the marketplace, see
what NFT collections exist in the AncientAEco system, see your kind of
player profile, if you will, kind of what assets you have, you know, within the
AncientAEco system yourself as a user. And it's kind of the one-stop shop.
So I would say we're still in very early stages
of the super app.
It's basically V1 here,
but really excited kind of the direction where it's going,
where we're kind of giving players a single place
that they can go.
They can stake tokens.
I see you're on the staking page there.
So kind of anything that you'd want to do in the ecosystem,
you can do it directly from the super app. And it's our discovery hub. And it's kind of anything that you'd want to do in the ecosystem, you can do it directly from the super app and it's our discovery hub and it's
kind of the place that we want players to really spend their time engaging with
the ecosystem from.
Amazing, amazing. And this is what I actually really love about you guys.
You guys keep on innovating.
You guys keep on upping like the existing products we already have,
trying to expand on more items
to cover, and you guys are just really killing it.
Like, what else do you need outside the super app?
Because you can literally do anything on the super app
as what you have mentioned a while ago.
You can do swapping, you have your own NFT marketplace,
you can do liquidity pools if that's your thing,
if you can also do staking and all.
So I actually haven't touched most of the financial aspect of the super app.
Well, what I've been using this for most of the time are just really more on swapping
because I'm into gaming.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Literally a lot on trying to win my way in. And there you go. kasi naman na hindi na gamin. I print ito ng mga na mag-win ang mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga m So right now, after all the things that Justin has discussed, what else do you think,
like for a beginner standpoint or for someone new, what do you think is essential for you to ask?
Actually, I'm still dumbfounded with everything that you guys just said
because I'm still processing the things in my head, so I'll just put that aside for now.
But actually, I have read a question here on our community, boss, and I'll just read it for now. at sa mga ngayon, pero sa mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga and mainly do account suspension? Yeah, great question.
Yes, definitely in-game quests are something that we really kind of want to prioritize moving forward.
And for us, this is the action of the highest quality user anyway, right?
Because it doesn't take much effort to...
I mean, it still takes effort and we appreciate anybody that takes the time to engage on social channels.
But we really appreciate the type of users that's going to go in there,
rank up in a game, complete, you know, complete a level within a game or,
you know, really level up a character in a game,
do things as in-game quests that are really going to show that these are real
gamers and people that are really kind of interested and excited to try the
games that are inside of the ecosystem. So Quest is definitely going to be something that's kind of interested and excited to try the games that are inside of the ecosystem.
So Quest is definitely going to be something that's kind of going to continue to be a key
metric for us and something that we'll continue to see done via Space 3. This might be a little
bit of alpha here, but we are also considering some ways to bring some level of questing to
the super app. So that's still an early stages discussion, but I do think that at some point we will see some level
of questing happening in the super app as well at some point.
But outside of that, you can definitely expect
to continue to see that happening inside of space three.
And another place for those of you who might not know,
we have questing inside of Discord as well.
So we consider kind of Discord as its own kind of community within the community.
So we also have something called the Quest Hub inside of Discord, where there's actually even additional quests
that you can do that are both social and gaming related quests. And these, I would consider these quests for our highest
activity users, you know, the guys that are really in the community every single day.
We add some additional quests there for them and some additional rewards that they can tap into for completing those quests.
So yeah, I think, you know, that's all a very long way of saying that quests will definitely continue to be kind of part of how we look to engage with the community in some form or another. And we really do think that finding more and more ways
to put the value that players are creating on chain
through quests is gonna continue to be kind of a staple
in Web3 gaming.
And I think really just in Web3 community building
in general, cause you really wanna find the ways
to track the activity of your most loyal users
and really reward those activities in a lot of really
different cool ways. And that data is also very powerful for us to really be able to
kind of see what players are interested in, maybe what they're not as interested in, and
really be able to bring them more experiences that they're excited about. So 100% we'll
be having those quests lined up and we really appreciate those of you guys who are really
engaged with them. Amazing, amazing.
So you guys, you Justin have mentioned like so much opportunity or so much ways the people
here from our community as well or anyone who's watching it right now on how they can
actually interact or how they can be engaged with Ancient 8 and its ecosystem.
You can actually go with the quest from Space TGG.
You can start playing the games on their chain.
You can do activities within their super app.
And also on Discord, you still have a few more things to do.
So I've also pinned the link here on our Discord channel
for their invite.
If you guys haven't been on their server yet, sa isang discord na namin ang mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga I'm just gonna keep bombarding you when... No worries, let's do it. That's what I'm here for, brother. Let's go.
Yeah, because Justin already gave us the best news summary of what ancient 8 is all about.
From start to finish.
From start to finish. It was amazing.
But now, Wens is asking here on the Squared,
so are there more A8 projects that we are gonna be expecting in the future?
So maybe I'm gonna be rephrasing this. I think he's asking for more
projects or more events coming like literally immediately or literally ASAP, right? Yeah, absolutely.
So I think it's a good opportunity for me to also touch on the fact that we have also recently just wrapped up our hackathon.
So in terms of builders, we have kind of a set of new builders that will be coming to Ancient Ape that are going to be kind of moving through the hackathon and not just the hackathon itself, but also our grant program.
So we kind of have two different initiatives that have happened in the past few weeks.
So hackathon and also this initiative to distribute tokens to builders that are going to come
build new experiences on the chain and in the ecosystem that are going to be both tapped
into gaming and also tapped into some other exciting narratives.
Let's say it may be some whispers of AI
or maybe some whispers of some other kind of hot trends
that we see in the market.
We do have some builders that are gonna be bringing
some of those experiences to Ancient 8.
And then from the gaming side of things,
we did just wrap up kind of season one,
if you will, of Stellar Forger
with season two looming about.
Unfortunately, Stellar Forger did have to push back
the date a little bit for season two,
but they are lining that up to do so in a way
that's gonna make a whole lot of sense to the player base
when they launch those details.
But yeah, season two is kind of coming
in the most immediate future,
even though we don't have an exact date just yet.
We do see that coming probably in the very near kind of timeline here.
So those are kind of two things that you can absolutely look forward to.
In terms of other events we have going on, I'm actually going to be in Bangkok in a couple
weeks for the SEA BW.
So if anybody from the community is going to be in IRL. Yeah, so we'll be IRL for that or I
myself will be representing ancient aid for that event. We
have a super chain ecosystem kind of side event going on
there during SEA BW. So for any of you guys that are going to
be out there would love to sync up together IRL that'll be a
lot of fun. So yeah, we'll be active as usual then you know
kind of towards the middle of the year we're gonna have GM Vietnam again the
place that we met last year that's gonna be happening in Hanoi this time in the
north so you know that that event has only grown year year-on-year so we're
really looking forward to that event this year and hopefully you know being
able to grow that
event even more in the coming year as well. So you'll kind of
see us actively at events, you'll see us actively, you know,
launching, launching products throughout the year. That's kind
of how we build that ancient eight, man, we're just like
quarter to quarter dropping sauce. There's never really like
a slow period. Since I've joined this company three years ago,
there's never really been like a down period where there was absolutely nothing going on. The team's always cooking
and now we're working with a whole lot of teams that are cooking as well. So definitely
a lot to keep an eye out for in the pipeline for sure.
Okay. Now that you have mentioned that you guys are cooking and I want to ask some alphas
or problems. If you are here, so one of the projects that we have, it would be Kaori.
But Kaori is like a super top secret, super top secret girl, super top secret AI that
she likes to move in real silence and just drop bombs unexpectedly for the community.
So not too much I can say on Kaori right now,
but one thing I can say is that the team
is absolutely cooking there with some really cool,
really cool initiatives and a lot of cool ideas
that we wanna tap into.
I think a lot of people, you know,
I've probably seen with this wave of AI and gaming,
kind of like this cross intersection
that's absolutely inevitable.
And we wanna be kind of at the forefront of that as well
with KRE.
So the project there is really, really exciting.
And we think that there's, you know,
so much potential in what we can do with the vertical of AI
and gaming.
And we're really excited to bring more of that for you guys.
But today I can't drop too much alpha on KRE unfortunately,
but just keep, keep your eyes out. And we we got some some sauce coming for you guys as usual
Actually, I have a question for Justin and this is a personal question of mine since Justin
You've mentioned earlier that you started as a gaming guild
So I'd like to ask how this ancient eight Eight engage with the WebDream gaming community?
Oh man, we're kind of everywhere to be honest.
Since our early days as a gaming guild, we started off things as most gaming guilds did with Axie Infinity.
You know, buying NFT assets, buying Axies, giving those teams to players, doing onboarding
while also giving players an opportunity to essentially earn
their first tokens in crypto for many people, even including myself.
So we're still very much engaged with events happening across the ecosystem of Web3 gaming.
That's another thing about Ancient 8 is, unlike some chains out there, if you will,
some chains like to build more in a closed type of ecosystem,
which totally respect that and understand the business case there.
But Ancient 8, we build a little bit more in an open format.
So we are still very much tapped into a lot of what's happening in gaming.
And we do that via Ancient 8 Gaming essentially, our gaming community arm and also
even via Space 3 where we're hosting missions from games across all different chains. So with
that being said, we're still very much tapped in with tournaments. You'll see us participating in
tournament events. You'll see us participating in play to air drop events. From time to time,
you'll see us still hosting events for Ancient 8 Gaming inside of the Discord, Game Nights and such, collaboratively with our creators.
Our creators will be participating with events that, you know, maybe Sylphie is doing a tournament. You'll see us there.
If Gaming Grid has a tournament going on for Superchamps, you'll see us over there.
I, myself, Ronald, and Nicholas, our three BD team members, you'll see us over there. I myself, Ronald and Nicholas are three BD team members.
You'll see us in spaces.
We're very active in spaces across the industry.
You'll see us at events across the industry.
So we're just like, we're in it, man.
We didn't make it to GDC this year,
but last year I was at GDC running across
all the different events with these guys.
So you'll see us in the Philippines
at the Yield Guild event, you know,
so we like to be active in the space.
We like to be very present.
Our content creator team is doing a fantastic job
being very active across the space,
participating in a lot of events across the space.
I want to shout out to our lead there, Lavi, as well.
She's doing a fantastic job just making sure
that the team is seen at all times.
So just shout out to the team, you know, Kimmy, our marketing team, uh, we
just have a great team members that they, they're really always thinking about the
different ways to make sure that ancient eight is out there and active and kind
of tapped into what's going on in the space very much.
And that's one thing that I think our team does really well.
And I think it's cause it's something that we enjoy to do.
So that kind of makes it easy for us anyway.
Like we want to be involved in what's going on with this space.
And we want to be at the forefront of like pushing things forward as well and trying new things.
So that's very much in our DNA.
And I think the team continues to kind of live up to that season after season.
For real, man. I am actually like the main witness in the Philippines on how strong the team is.
The marketing team is amazing, like what you have mentioned.
As well as I've seen some of your artists, especially on the collaterals that you guys have been dropping,
has been really consistent, eye-catching, and really, really nice to look at.
You don't really have any...
How do I...
What's the English of preclamo?
I forgot.
I forgot too.
Is it like weak points or...
More of like...
My brain is not braining.
My brain is not braining.
It's more like...
Complaints.
Not weak points. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Complaints. Not weak points, not weak points.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, complaints.
I don't see any complaints when I look at your pages.
But one thing that I want to also know more about and probably discuss,
this is probably going to be opening more opportunities, especially for our community members.
Because Sylvia Academy is a media-focused guild, as well as an esports-centric guild. So we haven't forgotten our main roots,
which is like a media-focused guild.
We have been up-skilling content creators.
We have been training them on how to do things.
So recently, you guys have been expanding
through different regions, right?
So I see Inchant 8, when you guys look at Inchant 8 in X, sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan sa panggunan They even have their internet page and they have internet page, region specific or country specific.
So for the country specific, I know that each country has like their certain program and also how does this open up possibilities
for anyone who's gonna be interested in applying
or is this open just in general for everyone else
that wants to apply on?
Is it still open?
Yeah, so there's a couple layers to this.
So we have kind of a two-way approach at the moment.
We have the content creator program,
which is definitely kind of an open program where anyone
can be able to apply there and kind of express in which ways
they may be interested in helping
ancient 8 go out there and spread
the word of the ecosystem and kind of the things
that we're building.
And for us, definitely having a regional approach,
we think, is really important because there are definitely some regions in Web3 that are just like the
most active and we absolutely want to tap into those regions first because we kind of
feel like it's good to have like a top down approach and really start with the regions
that are most excited about Web3 gaming and kind of allow those to kind of branch into
maybe regions that are starting to warm up a little bit more. Another way that we're approaching this as well is
this is going to be kind of a factor within our grant program as well where we'll even
have some grant associated for creators that want to do things, maybe host events, maybe
set up, you know, up social pages like these,
do tournaments.
There's kind of a lot of different activation opportunities
in which ways creators wanna kind of activate
their community around different stories, narratives,
products that are happening within the ancient ecosystem.
So we'll be able to find ways to work with creators
because obviously we, as most companies know by now working
with creators is absolutely the lifeblood of really a brand and
a product. And that's really the the kind of most organic way to
really go out there and spread things in a way that kind of
makes them the most viral in a lot of senses because you know,
people they don't trust ads on the internet.
They trust people that they know
that also enjoy a certain kind of product
or a certain kind of ecosystem.
So we 100% understand that, very tapped into that.
And we wanna give creators ways to monetize
by doing things that they love,
like playing games and being community builders,
or really being kind of amplifiers of the message and
of the product and ecosystem that we're building.
So yeah, those are some of the ways that you guys can tap into that and those opportunities
are very much open still.
The grant side of things, we haven't actually started the onboarding process for that yet,
so hold out for more information there, but definitely the creator program
is still actively taking applications.
The page is still live at the moment
where you guys can apply.
And yeah, I would encourage those of you
who are creators that wanna kind of tap in
and see how you might be able to, you know,
be part of the team in that form.
Happy to explore that for sure.
For reals, for reals, man.
If you guys, anyone from Silphie Academy or anyone
who's watching this live right now,
if you guys want to be a part of the creator program,
hit me up, I'm gonna be sending out your names,
but they're still gonna check it.
I'm not gonna be the one checking it.
And so, Sil, actually I wanna stop you there for a second
because you've given Ancient8, you and King
have given Ancient8 a lot of flowers today. I wanna also stop you there for a second because you've given Ancient 8, you and King have given Ancient 8 a lot of flowers today.
I want to also give you your flowers and the Sylphie Academy community because what you
guys are doing inspires us in a lot of ways in terms of like how we want to approach community
building, how we want to approach content creation, how we want to approach building
in this space with creators.
We really love what you guys are doing,
the way that you guys are like, you know, just absolutely tapped into what's going on in this space.
And, you know, you guys are like real hardcore gamers,
which is obviously what we believe is going to continue to be the lifeblood of growing this space,
is really bringing in people that are not just speculators.
Though there's nothing wrong with speculation in Web3,
but definitely we love to see people that are just hardcore gamers.
They just enjoy, you know, enjoy the grind.
They enjoy the tournament scene.
They're competitive as hell.
You're by far one of the most competitive guys in this space.
And I love that.
We love that at the team, man.
So we also want to give you your flowers because we love the way that you guys
are approaching building in this space.
And you know, we couldn't be more bullish on Sofie Academy and kind of the direction you guys are headed for sure.
Oh man, I think we're going to be having the Ancient 8th logo on our opening next time.
Let's go!
Lavi, I'm sending you a proposal soon.
Let's go, man. Let's go. We'll rep Sylphie just the same man. Whenever you got some merch for me or something like that,
I'd love to rep some Silphie gang as well man,
because you guys are crushing it.
Actually the jackets you guys are wearing,
like even in the photo for this event,
they're so freaking cool man.
I love the team jackets and stuff.
You guys are crushing it with that.
That's Loki just asking for the jacket.
Yes it is!
I'm going to the GMBN event if we have like the new stacks of the new jacket I'm definitely
going to be giving you but I'm going to be serving you one silky shirt.
Sorry for everyone.
I would love to lark in the uniform and just walk around and people are going to be like
yo you're on the Silvi pro team? Yeah, man. Yeah.
I'm crushing it. I'm crushing it.
Yeah, 100%.
If Justin just hub like all the time in the world,
he can actually really compete on the high level for sure.
No way, man. I'd get wrecked by you guys.
I'm a casual. I'm a casual, man.
I'm not nearly sweaty enough to be anywhere near your
guys level. But what I will say is I'm 100% like a fan. I just love watching pros do what they do
and like watching pros cook. So you'll always catch me like in the tournaments. I'm like tapped
in and I'm watching you guys play because it's so much fun. I'm a super competitive guy like
sports. So I really love to to watch top competitors go at it.
So watching you guys do your thing in the tournaments or even watching the high level
guys at AncientAid do their thing, that's my lane, is being an active viewer and enjoying
But I'll get on the sticks from time to time and let you guys use me as a punching bag.
But it's fun nonetheless, man.
I love it.
For reals, for reals.
Justin was actually on YPS.
He was there with the entire ancient AT
and they were watching us really just dominate arena
fate during that time.
Yes, yes, yes.
I was in the crowd, man.
I was having a great time.
That event was so well produced as well, man.
It was a lot of fun to just, yeah,
just kind of see more of the potential of Web3 gaming
because you can
just tell so much that like, there, there's the the right
level of talent in this space. Don't get me wrong, we need even
more of it. But but already with the talent that exists in this
space, man, there's so much potential for these kind of big
events with high level experiences, you can see real
top quality pro players battling it out in a lot of different
games in this industry
and you guys are definitely like one of those teams if you guys are playing i'm i'm stopping
to watch for sure for sure for reals man um you guys have been killing it as well um i remember
during the last tournament of um super champs everyone was like if you see engine eight try to
kill them because they are gonna kill you. Get them out of there, man.
No, we got some guys that they love them.
Before they get you.
They were, they were, they were.
But yeah, on the Stellar Forger side of things, champions.
On the war.
Shout out to the boys, man.
You guys did your thing.
That was a lot of fun too.
I like that. Again, shout out to the marketing team, branding team guys did. You guys did your thing. That was a lot of fun too. I like that.
Again, shout out to the marketing team,
branding team coming up with the concept for
World War Four, the Philippines versus Vietnam.
That's so much fun, man.
We love to kind of think of different ways
to spice up the action even more.
And it's great for us as well, because as you guys know,
we have creators from the Philippines and from Vietnam.
So it was like, we had an internal battle going
while we had like a macro battle also happening.
So, so much fun.
And as Gigi's, you guys are still doing your thing
and topping the leaderboards to be expected.
So yeah, man, fun times.
Appreciate it, man.
We are gonna be having, you just did like a whole,
you opened up a doors box.
You just opened a whole lot of licks.
So we are doing a new merch for this year. We are planning for a new shirt design and a new jacket.
So everyone from the community stay tuned because we are going to be releasing it this year.
Justin is probably gonna be having it like first hand.
Let's go! I'm releasing it this year. Justin is probably gonna be having it like firsthand.
Let's go!
I'm probably gonna be seeing them first by the time I go to Hanoi for the GMBN.
But yeah, just exciting times that we have along the way.
So King, I know that you have been also still browsing through the community questions here on the board.
So while we still have a few minutes left, can you throw, Justin, like a few more community questions ang mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga m some notable projects or incoming projects currently being built or deployed on the Ancient
Eight network?
Great, great question.
Another game that we're really excited about that some of you might be familiar with is
called Zone 9.
Yeah, I want to access on that, Justin.
Can you give me access?
I'm sure we can find some ways to work it out for you, brother, for sure.
Yeah, Zone 9 is one that we're really excited about.
It's AAA quality zombie survival game.
They're working on some interesting stuff.
I can't leak too much of it just yet,
but I will say it's somehow connected with AI in some way.
I won't go deeper than that,
but again, we're kind of seeing this convergence
of AI and gaming.
So I think Zone 9 is looking for some ways to integrate AI into some kind of seeing this convergence of AI and gaming. So I think zone nine is looking for some ways
to integrate AI into some kind of ways.
Outside of that though, the gameplay already
where it's currently at is a whole lot of fun.
We actually did an event during last year's GM Vietnam
where the content creator team battled against a pro team
here, Team Flash, in Zone 9.
So that was a lot of fun. Ancient8 actually won that game.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
GG to them on that.
Yeah, yeah. And, you know, part of it is because we had a lot more experience playing the game.
I will say that. But nonetheless, a win is a win.
GG's will take it. Those guys are pros.
So we should have a little advantage, right?
But yeah, that was a lot of fun.
And we're really excited for zone nine
because we think that there's a lot of potential
around that genre as well for zombie survival
and kind of bringing that really high level
AAA experience.
So that is a project 100%.
You guys got to keep your eyes out for
if you're not already following Zone 9 on X.
I definitely suggest I'll give them a follow there
because they drop a lot of little teasers
and kind of game production on the game as well.
So you guys can kind of stay tapped in
on where things are at there.
But of course, if you're in the Ancient A Discord
or following us there, you guys will also see updates
from us that we share whenever they are giving
some of those updates also. So yeah, absolutely.
Zone 9 would definitely be another game that I think for sure you guys gotta keep your eyes peeled.
It is, it is.
When I watch the trailers or the videos coming in from the page,
I feel like I'm gonna suck on this game, but at the same time,
it feels like so much FOMO to be not playing the game.
The game is really high quality.
I don't like zombies, I don't like scary things,
but you're gonna see me scream like a girl when we play the game.
That's what we wanna see, man,
because we're too used to seeing Silby in his character,
just dominating people, so we just wanna to see him like screaming and running for once
because there's not too many chances we're going to see him doing that.
So we actually brought Zone 9 for a play test as well last year at the GeckoCon
in actually also in Bangkok.
So that was a lot of fun.
A lot of people got to try Zone 9 for the first time.
I got to play for a bit and get absolutely wrecked myself. But it was a lot of fun to actually be able to touch the game there again Pag-a-try zon 9 sa mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga members was able to try Zone 9. Yeah there was only a couple computers there too that's why it
was tough right because there was only like a few computers free at a time and if you didn't grab it
yeah yeah so it was tough to get under actually I didn't even get to play at all during that event
because I just wanted everybody else to play and try it out but uh yeah Zone 9 was there as well
so for the guys that got to try it that night they got they got kind of lucky
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna try it on GMV and I will not totally miss it. Yes, man
Yes, that's usually where we bring out the the play test for zone. Nine is usually during conferences GMV Vietnam
it was it was there as well and
Yeah, we we kind of looked to bring zone nine out for those conferences to get people
You know kind of hyped up and and having a look at the game.
Nice, nice.
I'm really excited to see on what are the future developments for Zone 9, but for now,
still enjoy the videos that they have been posting, the leaks that the creators have
been leaking and please follow their page.
I have dropped the link on our Discord channel.
Alright?
Alright.
Let's go, love it.
Okay, so Justin, I think let's continue with the community questions here
because they're really...
Just two more, man.
Just two more.
They're really coiling up.
So I handpicked one here.
It's from Jaywoo.
And he says that,
What is the Ancient Aids roadmap and are there plans for continuous updates?
So I wouldn't necessarily say that there's a roadmap.
We've definitely found that in Web3.
It's an industry where you want to kind of stay ready.
You want to stay ready to kind of move with the trend.
It's such a trend driven kind of trend driven space that we're always prepared to kind of like move
with what the industry is showing
that it has an appetite for.
And we think that that's a kind of a great approach
and that's an approach that's kind of served us well
over the years.
Anytime we've seen something kind of trending a direction
and we've found ways that kind of what we're doing
or what we specialize,
we've kind of found our niche in that direction.
It's always served really well for us.
So we kind of approach building in the market kind of, you know, in more of an approach
of building like that where we don't promise too much and we look to what we like to call
under promise and over deliver.
So we kind of keep the expectations.
There's not these crazy overblown expectations.
But when we bring something, we hope that we're bringing something that people are really
excited about. And I think over time, we've we found that most of the time, the the community
is usually like a bit shocked when things come in the form that we do. So because we
come from that approach where we really want people to be excited for stuff. And and when
new things kind of kick off,
new narratives kick off,
we wanna be able to kind of tap into those things
and really bring those things into the ecosystem
in a meaningful way.
We don't wanna just kind of like hop around
but really bring things in in a very meaningful way
and then build those products up over time.
So that's kind of been our approach in terms of updates.
Of course, the X is definitely probably numero uno in turn, in terms
of like the place you're going to get the updates the fastest.
And then of course, you know, our discord announcements,
telegram announcements, of course, all those places kind of get
announcements around the same time.
But where we're super tapped in, um, ancient eight is very, very active on
socials, so anytime there's something new happening in the ecosystem,
we are a hundred percent talking about it. We also have our,
our spaces every week called gaming on the edge on X that's hosted by myself,
Ronald and Nicholas.
And we also often update things that are going on in the ecosystem from
that, from that show every Thursday as well.
So that's another place that you can come if you have
kind of want to hear things in live format.
You know, we do it from that approach there also.
So yeah, there's a lot of announcements always happening
within the ecosystem and we look to just kind of keep
everybody involved and kind of aware
with what we're doing next.
I love how you answered this question.
Like any project who wants to really build
or really succeed in the web-free space needs to be really flexible and adaptable to what the trend is all about.
And I definitely can agree further on that one. So King, last community question that we have for Justin. Yup, this is the last community question. This is from our top two Stellar Forger players. Wow!
From Bien. We also have the top one player here. He actually is in the back right now. Most of the top leaderboard players are here.
Let's go, they're the real ones. They're the real ones. Let's go. Yup, and his question is, what competitive advantages does Ancient 8 have over other Web 3 gaming guilds?
Over Web 3 gaming guilds, I don't know that we have much of an advantage over guilds outside of maybe some experience. But I think when it comes to guilds, reality is it's more of a talent game
more than it is anything in terms of,
having players in your community that are active,
that are at some level skilled and essentially,
yeah, I would say activity and skill are probably kind of
the two main things that make you super sharp.
Outside of that, maybe another advantage might be
that we've built a lot of relationships in the industry
because we've been around for three years.
There's not too many communities that were around
from the early days of the gaming guilds
all the way up until now.
There's kind of a few communities that have survived
and a few builders and creators
that have survived from that time.
So I think, yeah, maybe those kinds of experiences
give us a little bit of an advantage
from the guild side of things.
From the chain side of things,
I think I kind of leaned into it a little bit earlier
about kind of what I think is our advantage
from that standpoint,
which is that we come from kind of that guild background
and that go-to-market approach has kind of been in our DNA
from that early time. So I think that that's kind of where we have an advantage on the chain and
kind of infrastructure side of things. Yeah, those would probably be the main things.
And then maybe a little bit of a skill team that gives us a little bit of an advantage as well.
Really fantastic quality team that have been building out of Vietnam and kind of out of Southeast Asia for many years.
A very experienced team. So maybe those are the kind of three core pillars, I would say.
And they all kind of come down to experience in some form or another.
Yeah, Justine, you definitely touched
a really good point here.
Experience really plays a big key on this phase.
We see a lot of builders,
like they have like those best ideas
or like those good things that they want to execute
on what they don't have like the necessary experience in order to properly execute them or to just have like the best practices that you guys
already have known because me I personally came in from a different background I was an IT
professional for years I was on the leadership team as well. So that is also one of the things that like maybe helped me assess on how to
manage like the guild, how to like properly assess on which directions we are going in.
And that is also the same thing that I have been seeing you guys when I was
working with you guys on several projects like seller forger, you can just really
see how much experience everyone on the team has and I'm just really happy
to further collaborate and further deepen our relationship. Sylvia Academy, Ancient 8, let's
make it happen. Yes, absolutely. Yeah, for sure. That's a big focus for us is just continuing to be
super tapped in with the communities that are really building in this space.
So we love what you guys are doing.
Gaming Grid, Nam Long Dao, you know, there's some really fantastic communities that are
very, very active in this space and we want to continue to stay aligned with those communities,
keep playing together, keep winning together, keep finding ways to work together and grow
together.
That's kind of also a very big part of the DNA of Ancient AID
is we're in the trenches, if you will,
in the trenches with the community and with the creators.
And we think that that's really, really important
for continuing to grow in this space.
And that's how we'll continue to approach it.
And it's definitely interesting to see how much the meta
has changed from 2021 when the initial surge
of people came in down to the bear market right now on the bull market again, then speculations
of another bear market.
And we have seen how much we have grown from individuality and are doing things on ourselves
to now really just doing a lot of collaborations and just really bringing everyone up, all the brands together through partnership
and meaningful long-term collaborations, right?
So just really happy on how the space has evolved
and definitely we are gonna be seeing more
of this evolution on the coming months.
So Justine, I don't really want to keep you like more,
I think most of your time, but if you have
any last few words or last few announcements or probably any leaks that you are allowed
to say to our community to really end this show on a high note.
Oh I thought we were here for another hour.
We're stopping now?
Oh really?
No, no, I'm just joking.
But I can keep you here for another hour happily, man.
We can do this all night. No, no, I really just... Special But I can be here for another hour happily, man. We can do this all night.
No, no, I really just...
Let's get you another one.
Yeah, absolutely.
Let's come back and do it again.
No, really, I just want to thank you for inviting us.
I think I've pretty much tapped into most of the things that I would love for the community
to know about Ancient Aide and what we're doing and kind of where our focus is at.
Would love to have you guys come hang out in the Discord
from time to time, join some game nights,
some events and stuff like that.
And of course you guys will see us over in events
that you guys are organizing as well.
Yeah, let's continue to stay tapped in.
Let's continue to play together.
Let's continue to find ways to grow together.
We're all about collaboration.
If you guys ever wanna pop onto the gaming on the edge show
and come share more about Sophie Academy,
we love to have you guys on there and you know,
just chatting anything around gaming or anything about web three. That's,
that's kind of what we're continuing to kind of push forward in the,
in the space as we go. And yeah, that's really, that's really it, man.
We're excited to have, you know, more,
more events and more collaborations going on together.
The creator team is cooking some fun stuff.
So you guys got to keep an eye out for that.
In terms of alphas, what can I drop that's alpha that's
not really even throughout there?
I think we have one of Fuzhustin.
We have the pre-sale for the Seller Forger.
Yeah, so that is some alpha.
That is definitely some alpha, but because the timeline has been
postponed and I don't know the date just yet, I don't feel like it's like really a high level
alpha just yet until I have a date then I can drop some more info for you guys on that one.
I think you guys are really pretty much tapped in with kind of the most exciting stuff that's coming right now.
Definitely, yeah, just stay locked in with us and yeah, go ahead.
I think you have something on the top of your mind, but you kind of remember that, oh no, I am not allowed to say this.
I lose my job.
Will my job still be there if I say that? I'm not really sure. I'm not 100% sure.
Just a secret between the three of us.
No one's watching.
Not one hundred people.
None of your stream guys.
Not 35 people on the screen.
No one's listening.
Just a secret between the three of us.
Like, what is the next big alpha that you can drop?
I would say I just want you guys to stay tapped in with the new projects that are coming from
our recent hackathon and our recent, now the name of it is Slippin' Ruby, grant program.
Because we have, the alpha that I'll give here is that there are some projects
that are coming from different backgrounds like AI.
Essentially AI is definitely one
that I think you guys are gonna be really surprised to see
that I think is gonna be really exciting for you guys.
And then we have some just really more fun stuff
that's gonna be happening around also,
still very much tapped into AI with Kaori.
And also don't miss out on what's continuing to be cooked
with Harry because I think Harry is also kind of,
might go under the radar from time to time
that people might not know how Harry is associated
with the AncientAid ecosystem,
but Harry has essentially become the mascot of AncientAid
that I think is, there's a lot of fun stuff continuing
to be cooked around Harry as well.
So yeah, just have you guys stay tapped in with all that.
We like to surprise you guys.
So we're gonna keep the surprises coming and it'll be a lot of fun, man.
But yeah, let's 100% do this again.
We'll tap back in and maybe when we tap in on the next one, I might have some extra alpha
for you.
Nice, nice.
For real.
And once again, thank you so much for dropping by Justine it has been
such a blast you explaining what ancient 8 is all about from start to finish in 15 minutes
that is amazing and you guys... Can you tell I've done this a couple times man for sure
uh no I love to talk about ancient 8 I love to talk about you know you know web 3 and gaming
this is the stuff that's been uh on my brain every day for a few years now.
So it's, it's what I really love to be, to be tapped in and doing with you guys.
I did want to give a couple of shout outs.
I see some comments.
I see my, my man do said, I love Justin.
I love you too, bro.
Thank you for coming through and hanging out.
Uh, I see who tie in the, in the chat as well.
So I just want to thank some of the community.
I see Kyle there also, uh, just want to thank some of the ancient eight community for coming out and hanging the chat as well. So I just want to thank some of the community. I see Kyle there also.
Just want to thank some of the AncientAid community for coming out and hanging with us as well. And yeah, we'd love to do this again, man. All right, all right. So King, any last few
messages to say to the community and to Justin before we wrap things up? Yeah, I would like to
give a huge thanks to you, Justin, for joining us here on the Inside Scoop featuring Ancient 8.
My pleasure man, it's been a pleasure.
I really learned a lot about Ancient 8 since from the very beginning I have no clue about what Ancient 8 is or what they do.
Now I'm a bit more knowledgeable and I think I'll look forward for your updates on X-Men.
Love that, love that and appreciate that. And you know what, King?
I'm a little surprised that you don't know about Ancient 8,
but at the same time, not so surprised.
Cause I also like, and this is my own personal opinion.
I'm not saying this is the thinking of Ancient 8 team,
but me personally, I feel like Ancient 8
is a little bit of a dark horse in the industry.
Where it's like, yeah, there's not like a whole lot of, uh, a whole lot of like huge hype around us all the time. Um,
but when we drop stuff, we, we, we tend to try to, you know, drop it pretty big.
And I think it surprises some people and they're like, oh yeah, those guys really are building
over there, man. So we love that. Uh, we love that reaction, you know, because we, again, our, our,
our thesis is like, don't over hype things too much, you know,
stay humble and then hopefully bring a product to the market
that people are excited about. And because of that, I think
that gives us kind of a little bit of like a dark horse vibe
in the industry. But me personally, I love that approach
because I think that that's a, it's a lot of fun and, and it's
kind of nice to build with a little like chip on your shoulder where you're like really wanting to prove to people that yeah we got a we got a great team and we're good at what we do.
You already have the best products so far in your ecosystem and you guys are just going to be continuing and projecting into higher spaces so again Justin, Justin, thank you so much.
And King, now you know more about Ancient Ape.
You should see it more.
He's a pro at this point, man.
He's gonna be literally telling the story of Ancient Ape
from start to finish in 10 minutes the next time we do this.
Easy, man. I actually, I'm thinking I can hire King at this point to go speak on my behalf about Ancient Aid.
If I ever get like, if I ever get double booked on a certain day,
I'm going to hire King to go do the other podcast for me, man.
Yeah, just reach out on my Telegram.
I'll send it to Bosil, then feel forward to it to you.
Nice, nice, nice.
Love it, boys.
All right, man. This is an amazing talk.
Such nice and cozy vibes
amongst everyone who has
participated in.
And we are definitely gonna be having more
activations with Ancient 8
in bulb and the future.
We actually have a few tournaments coming
our way on April. I would like to
personally invite you guys over to participate as well.
These are games that are really easy to get on boarded on.
But I'll let you know a true private message.
