Yeah, I know you'd like to thank your shit, don't stay.
But leave it a little bit closer, see you bro.
Let's go, everybody.
So hyped to be here.
This episode will be packed.
Oh my god.
I know.
Guys, I got so many DMs about Tone Blockchain.
I got tons of DMS
We have also tons of familiar faces here in the audience and guys did a ton of great work
So I gotta I gotta bring you all on stage
They love these jokes jokes like if you are tall and everyone is asking you how's the weather up there
I think they are so excited about those guys. We still have two more minutes of intro
So if you have any questions drop them into the comments
It's gonna be crazy can't wait and I know this is favorite Ethan's favorite song
Last time I heard this song in Paris when he was ordering like 20 or 69 bottles of champagne
So let's fucking go two more minutes of intro and let's go baby!
What a vibe! Yo, it's a party today! What if I?
Yo, it's a party today!
Eden, order more, man!

What a beautiful Tuesday.
This is Grateful Show 379. them today we can ask whatever we want we learn more we learn how to actually get into the ecosystem
what they are cooking what's going on with telegram etc etc i'm really stoked about it because
i'm kind of new to the ecosystem and i 100% want to learn more man everyone was hyped about stickers
i know uh they disappeared within probably minutes so it's really dope and yeah super happy to be
here tino how you doing and then we get right into the tone guys if you have questions drop them into the comments
i'll go through them and let's go tino what's up man gmgm super excited about today's show also
happy to learn more about ton about what's happening there uh the it's it seems to be
really alive uh the whole ecosystem a lot of of familiar faces being now very deep in the trenches.
So I'm super excited. We also talk about some other stuff later in the show.
So I'm super pumped up. And how are you doing? Grateful.
Man, I'm doing great. I had just five coffees, so my energy levels are really, really low.
five coffees so my energy levels
are really really low
and man we had
a spaces early today
together with Ethan and
the team so
we are doing second one today it was
great I think it almost had
like a 1k tuned in
which is awesome it shows how people
they're really hyped so happy to be
here we also have balloons
on Ape Chain later and and then we're going to be talking about Web3 Gaming on Somnaya Network.
So really packed space today.
I will quickly circle around.
Guys, if you can just share quickly what you're doing, that would be amazing.
I start with Ethan.
We already know him, the legend, the BAYC council member back in the day.
Ethan, how are you doing today? What's good, man?
Oh, mate, I'm having a good day. I'm chilling.
I'm on X right now.
I'm seeing the trend where people are saying they don't pay people to be the reply guys.
That's funny.
I don't think many people actually do that.
Do you do that, Grateful? Surely not.
Bro, you're the one who's doing that for me,
so I don't know man, you should know. No, no, no, no, no, no. I would never man, like,
because they would have access probably to my DMs and then they can. Yeah, exactly. I see people do
it, but I always say like, it's not worth the risk. It's not worth the risk at all.
Drop one contract address on your account.
Reputation ruined.
Goodbye.
It's not worth it.
It's not worth it.
You just got to sit there and you've got to do 700, 800 replies a day.
You got to grind it out.
Stop being a pussy.
Get to work.
And then one day TumBlockchain will hire you to reply guy for them.
There you go.
That's what happened to you, bro.
Congrats.
I love your comeback story.
It's amazing.
I know you spent like two years in Web2, right?
Yeah, that was the worst time ever.
We were discussing this on the last spaces we just did,
on the last spaces we just did,
like about what's your biggest
like lessons to people
that you learned in the 21, 22, 23 bull cycle.
The lesson is take profits.
But we'll go into that.
We'll go into that.
I don't want to take up too much time.
Go around the rest of the room.
Yep.
100%.
Victor, how you doing, man?
Super happy to have you here.
GM, GM.
Doing good. Thanks. I've been a little bit late, a couple of minutes, finally got back home.
But yeah, happy to be here today and let's talk about what's going on with the NFTs on top.
Happy to represent and we've got a full jam-packed stage here with legends and a lot of people on our team as well.
100%. The stage is back, guys.
Jacob, how are you doing?
GMGM.
My name is Jacob.
Recently joined to Tone Foundation as an intern on Tone Community Page.
By the way, most of people know me
that I'm a guy behind the mask
because I've been recording many videos this month so yeah i'm here
i'm glad to hear like in my life and yeah let's talk about today's alpha about nfts because these
nfts are on fire what i know i i just checked the uh victor's tweet or or post that Telegram NFT gifts on Ton has surpassed 100 million dollars in all-time volume.
Which is not bad. That's not bad.
Yeah, and the market cap also remaining pretty stable.
Even though some corrections have been going on in the market, the market cap still continues to expand, showing there is more liquidity
entering as well. I think it's around 150 million market cap right now, I may be mistaken. I would
circle back with Zenith to be sure. Zenith, also welcome here, hyped to have you here. Great talking
today, early today. How are you doing? I'm doing well, I'm doing well. Just still in the office and working at the same time.
I guess I'm doing good, man.
Excited to be here.
I don't know if you are in Europe or in Asia or where are you,
but if it's after 9 p.m., you know, I saw some tweets on my timeline.
If it's after 9 p.m., I don't know if you should work or not.
But if you are in Web3, man, we go 24-7. It's wild. So happy to have you here.
We also have a Ton account here and also Ton community. So guys, if you want to say hi,
do it. If not, if you are just a, you know, silent shillers here on stage.
That's us, bro. I'm on Ton blockchain. It blockchain on the community page
I know how it works
I know how it works
we also have
two more accounts guys but we're gonna say hi to you
after we finish this panel because
you know time is running out
and we have so many things
to go through so
just saying hi
quickly to verify the numbers just also dropping in the bottom right
but it's uh the current market cap for the gifts alone is 194 million dollars and the fully diluted
would be 242 million dollars for the telegram nft gifts it's not taking stickers or other NFTs.
That's crazy, man.
Yeah, I think I heard about Tone before,
but stickers really brought a lot of attention to it, right?
So could you just quickly share with me what's the genesis of Tone blockchain when it started?
How did we end up here?
Because I honestly don't know much and the hype is real and a lot of
people in my group chats they are the same they are like holy shit how can we get exposure right
that's important like we remember 2021 and you had to be curious you had to be trying new things
to actually make it so uh if you could give me give me overview, that would be perfect, guys. Yeah, absolutely.
I'll take on this one.
So, first of all, originally, Tone was invented by the Telegram back in the days.
But then, due to the issues with the SEC, they had to return the money to the investors and they abandoned the project announcing its closure. What happened next
was like really a cultural moment because the active community of developers decided that they
will not let Tom die. Instead, they overtook the development and now it's been run as the open
source blockchain, the code of which is, of course, available on the GitHub.
You can go and check as well.
And yeah, this is how it started. Then the Tom Foundation was formed.
That is a non-profit organization that exists on the donations from miners.
And this is how the Tom Foundation operates, basically, then helping to streamline more innovation in our ecosystem and
helping to develop the ecosystem moving forward as well. It's key. Then here is like, it's been a
few years already. Actually, quite recently, it's been the birdie of the ever since the mainnet
launch. And if you go through the highlights on my page you
will find the exact dates and everything like all the details in there um and then ever since that
moment uh ton being continuing to expand and grow and only recently uh basically what's happened is
that telegram announced that it's making tom the exclusive chain for its telegram mini app ecosystem
on the exclusive chain for its Telegram Mini App ecosystem.
But the important part of the story that Telegram already released
several on-chain assets on Ton earlier, for example, anonymous
numbers, which are over two years old, and you can tie them to your
Telegram profile and use it instead of your actual phone number to log in.
And then you could do that with your wallet in a completely
decentralized manner.
And then it also gives you more anonymity on the platform because
when you send a message to someone, instead of showing the region
you're from, it will show anonymous, which is kind of cool.
And it's a big collection.
It's 130,000 NFTs in there.
And if you look at the chart over the course of two years
that will explain what i mean when i say that telegram got a successful track record in releasing
conchain assets with just the pure utility as well they also made uh usernames uh and nfts on
some blockchain so if the username already registered and you own it as an NFT, no one else could take your username. No one else could apply it. And so if you,
that's not just done, it's been several years as well. That's my point. And so you can actually
go to GetGamts, which is the NFT marketplace on chain, and you can trade them, the ones already
already registered or you can go to fragment and register your own if you haven't done it
registered, or you can go to Fragment and register your own if you haven't done it.
there are incredible guides on this topic for the usernames in particular by tonorbital uh
if you're actually going through the tread that has been on my page in how to start guides there
is like a whole thread with videos there will be the video explaining just that and you will know
where to go how to do it and then recently uh if you remember last year uh
pavel durov announced that there is much more things coming in regards to twine and telegram
and so one of the steps they took uh is at the end of 2024 they started releasing gifts at time
they were not a collectible they've been just releasing them like an initial mint no one knew
what they are people have been like oh why do you take money from us complaining a little bit spending 30 bucks
for plush paper not understanding what it is you know this type of scenario then at the beginning
of 2025 literally the update was uh scheduled for the new year but it was delayed due to the
apple review policy as always it's apple you know nothing to say and so they became upgradable
the first batch of gifts into the unique collectibles and they became nfts on ton as well
so this is a couple examples of what telegram done themselves and now taking into consideration the
fact that telegram mini apps must utilize only ton blockchain for the developer unity and user experience, there is no
competition with other blockchains within the ecosystem of the telegram, which is over a billion
month active users. And this is also important part here. And that's done not to prevent others
to develop. No, it's done to ensure better safety for all its users because telegram is centralized
platform and having an enormous crowd of people using it every day,
they have legal responsibility as well
and they must comply with the regulations and laws.
So for them, of course, ensuring higher safety standards
with the verified protocols, which is Tone Connect
to allow the wallet connection
to be integrated across all the ecosystem.
And so it's already been done.
And that's why we have so many different mini apps
utilizing all the different mechanics.
So that's how ToneKind has been created and how we got here.
Besides those assets that I mentioned released by Telegram,
it's got a very rich ecosystem of its own,
filled with many other things, including DeFi, etc., which is all tied into the mini apps inside of Telegram. It's got a very rich ecosystem of its own filled with many other things, including DeFi,
et cetera, which is all tied into the mini apps
inside of Telegram as well.
Like you can go and try, for example,
Eva Protocol or Stormfy directly in your Telegram.
Like you don't have to download anything.
You will know it's legit.
You will see the verification checkmark.
So it's pretty cool and innovative
and really onboarding masses in the completely new way.
And mini apps, I think that's the key for the collectibles as well.
We're going to see what is going to evolve it, but that's a little bit of backstory.
But yeah, this trend is amazing.
You're going to find also a little more history to Telegram integrating Tom.
You're going to find all the guides.
It's all inside there.
I made it as inclusive as possible for everyone to find all the guides it's all inside there i made it as inclusive as
possible for everyone to find all their answers man that's really exciting and you mentioned
that telegram actually launched the chain in 2020 man that that's really really early sorry
what were the plans back in in 2020 because it's before BYC minting, right? It's really early if
you look at most of NFT collections. I think NBA Top Shot started late 2020, right? So
what were the plans and the vision behind that back in 2020?
This is a great question. Well, they wanted to create a blockchain that is scalable enough
and could handle potentially billion monthly active users actively using it on daily basis.
So they've been creating a piece of technology that could handle a lot of
those functions in very decentralized way.
And that's more a vision to pursue further decentralization and
resilient nature of telegram.
If you're maybe not aware, butgram got a long-standing history of
fighting with governments and even leaving the markets uh if they don't fit the interest of one
to another and you can watch the interview with the sucker carlson the first one with paul duro
you will get a lot of answers on your questions as to the story of him and telegram but he had to
leave russia he left france he left america and then he went and settled
down in dubai so that eventually were the headquarters of telegram form and they always
been resilient respecting people's right for online and digital privacy even today even when they are
because they must comply with the regulations in different regions.
When the governments request information for criminals that do some criminal activities,
Cellgram provides only the IP addresses, etc.
But it doesn't provide you undisclosed conversations.
And the reason is the encryption that they have built and they don't have a backdoor. There is no compromise on this.
There never will be the backdoor.
And if the country or region implement the rules that there must be a backdoor, they
are ready to leave the market and very publicly stating that.
So users' privacy is first.
The business model is not built on selling your ads and selling your data, which is the
only one out of the, like, I don't know, top 10 probably.
Um, and this is just a fabulous element in this world that eventually they wanted to
pursue more decentralization.
So inventing the blockchain that could handle such a massive ecosystem is in the next step.
And so they created original infrastructure of Tone, which that was overtaken
by the active community of developers, which is today taken care of by ToneCore, which is the part
of Tone Foundation. Man, I definitely want to also get into like how to onboard people that are
absolutely new to Tone NFTs and Tone ecosystem but I have one more question about the blockchain and what are the specifics
of Tone blockchain
we have Apechain here, it's focused
a lot on NFTs
you know, I've been deep in
Somnia network which is like
metaverse and gaming, they have like
1 million TPS
transactions per second
etc, so what are the
specific, how is stone blockchain built uh and
uh yeah that would be really cool to know so it's built to scale vertically and it has a dynamic
sharding system in short is to ensure that it is possible to handle like let's say tens of millions
hundreds of millions of transactions throughput and output, without them getting stuck.
And of course it's a process of developing this technology is not ideal, but today
such a large and massive airdrop such as Hamster Combat, for example, not
CoinDocs being possible to be done in the first place.
And it's not possible in any other blockchain.
Hamster Combat did the airdrop to over a hundred million illegible wallets i i don't i don't think so it's possible to any other
blockchain at least for a couple more years honestly and to my point the blockchain yes
it's been congested but it continued to operate it did not shut down in this particular regard
there's been other issues before when the massive airdrops
only start happening, but then there's
been the solutions developed for this, and there are several.
So yeah, this has been helpful.
Mintless Jeton technology was the one that
allowed the ComSAR Combat airdrop to even be possible,
technically speaking.
It was done in collaboration between their team and Toncore, which is fabulous.
But then there's a couple other options with smart contracts that could handle also a high load of transactions.
So that's a little bit of the architecture on Ton. And the main focus for Ton is actually making crypto accessible to the masses.
So it's not just the pursuit of one particular direction, as you mentioned with
several other blockchains. It is making crypto as accessible as possible and to let other people at
scale use it in the regions that they never could before or never thought it could be this simple.
Take a look at, for example, email or internet technology. For you, do you care how internet
as a protocol works? Of course, it's an important part. I'm not saying no. I'm asking, do you care how internet as a protocol works? Of course it's important part, I'm not saying no. I'm asking, do you care when you go to your Google Chrome browser
trying to find something?
I think no.
So here, similar approach, just integrating
and making this technology very easy and accessible
with a low gas fees to actually let people experience
real ownership.
And the integration and the synergy with a Telegram
is of course one of the major drivers
and it is fabulous but the thing is for example tonguekeeper wallet got more than 70 million users
and they also have a browser inside of it so ton exists outside of telegram too and it's very
important to understand that those dApps could exist in both inside of wallets browser versions
and inside of telegram but telegram making it much easier for everyone and that's became one of the
reasons why such a massive amount of new people being able to enter crypto for
the first time and why we today talk about TAN in the first place.
100% man I think we need to make the tech invisible for the
for the end users right that's the goal and we see it's happening
Whether it's with you guys whether we saw glyph integration from from Yuga and so on and so on So absolutely love that. Tino, I saw you unmuted. Go ahead
It's very interesting because you know most blockchains built first and and then actually hope for adoption and you guys started
I think with the the blockchain started back at,
I think, almost a billion users already, which is crazy.
But at the same time, for me as a marketer or business person,
how do you actually manage to market it to people?
Because you need to attract developers,
you need to attract the people for whom it needs to be invisible,
as Grateful said.
So how do you position yourself
and or like how is Stone positioning himself for this kind of stuff? Who is it for?
And I hope you understand my question. Yeah, I mean it's not an easy process of onboarding uh normies and new people to crypto
surely but i think one of the major drivers uh it was gaming because gaming in numbers
more than 50 of the world population play mobile games this is such a big number when you think over it, that
onboarding them all to crypto would seem a complete blessing
for our industry, right? And so the gaming and the swipe was
what attracted actually a lot of people and made it simple. And
at first, there was a lot of questions. How do we withdraw to
centralized exchanges? How do we draw to DEXs? How do we swap
it? What are the gas fees? Why do we have to DEXs, how do we swap it, what are the gas fees,
why do we have to pay them. And it's been a process where the content creation also goes
hand in hand with the innovation and depending what the people are building to. We actually right
now making a few steps to also help community to have resources more accessible, but as that's
going to be done, our leadership will address it themselves. But there is constant innovation in this regard,
and the education part is sometimes challenging.
And here you see it's onboarding already existing users,
for example, of Telegram towards Tone is one thing.
Unboarding new people to Tone that may be aware of Telegram
or may be using it as a second thing.
Then onboarding people to Tone that also never knew of existence of Tele using it the second thing. Then onboarding people to Tom that also never knew of
existence of telegram is the third thing.
And so I think that here, what really works is the word of mouth, because how
it happened with the mini apps and gaming has been mainly for the referral
mechanisms that really masses got to be able to discover it.
And then the steps by telegram taken as well important.
At Tom Foundation, we focus more on education and making sure that the standards are implemented
and that there are the support systems provided for projects, builders,
that the community is taking care of, that we have programs for them as well.
So there are many things that we can, though, to make sure that this ecosystem
continue to develop on its own very organically and what we see today is that there is much more competition into an ecosystem and this
is very great because it forces people to innovate faster more aggressively and do better marketing
yeah that's that that makes definitely sense uh let's now focus on the group that is mostly
uh in the audience i believe so most of us are telegram, I believe. So most of us are Telegram users.
Most of us are basically blockchain friendly or crypto natives.
What should we start with if we want to get our,
if we haven't started yet,
what should be the first things to look at in the Tone ecosystem?
What's the cool things?
Maybe something that's under the radar,
something up and coming that you see. Where should our audience start?
I think Zenith would also have great comments on this. But in my opinion, there are several avenues
to explore depending on your interest. If you're a person that loves to play games at times or
maybe you have kids, go to Telegram and literally type in the search
app center. It has the rocket emoji, the blue color logo, and the blue check next to its name.
You will easily find. So it's called app center directly in Telegram. Yes, in your search bar.
From there, you will see an incredible portal with so many different applications and games.
One thing I suggest is just go and explore, understand how easy it is,
how seamless it could be.
And you surely will see some of them having integration of Tone already.
Some of them are just purely games.
That's as well possible.
Then from there, the another thing to explore is to go and see how the
Telegram and F2GIFs gifts customizing profiles how this works because i
think for people that already use telegram as you mentioned uh you may not not be aware that you
could customize your profile so cool with this digital collectibles and if some of your friends
will send you a gift that is a unique collectible and you got a chance to actually spotlight it on your telegram profile
once you do it you will understand how seamless easy and quite cool it is and then i mean there
is expensive nft gifts and when you show up in the chat and you have an expensive uh flush pepper
emoji next to your name because you own this nft and it shows the number and everything that's
worth like 15 grand on the
floor that is also signifying something i think it's pretty cool to explore but here i would
suggest to make accent on the use of the mini apps for people to understand how easy those integrations
could be done and even with gifts you go to like tunnel or portals which are the mini apps instead
of telegram where then you could buy the
NFTs or sell
Ethan I saw you unmuted do you want to add anything to that?
well I was gonna shout out but I thought I'll let Victor finish
it was a joke in the moment that wouldn't be funny now if I told it. So you sort of put me on the spot here, Grateful.
Yeah, it's like the situation with your room slowly drowning.
Oh my god.
You guys must know about that, right?
Grateful you know about that.
I'm not sure, man.
Oh my god, bro.
Dude, we were doing the Bay C.
Actually, well, there's another good thing.
Do you call it Bay C or B-A-Y-C?
What do you say, Grateful?
I call it Bake and Make.
Bake and Make.
This is funny.
By the way, Grateful, I forgot to mention.
Victor says Bayek.
I really...
Yeah, I say Bayek.
You see, we've got another variation here.
But Grateful, I also forgot to mention one of the OG NFT projects, which is Pagi Penguin, they already have launched their own mini app. And you can go and check it out too. They got over 2 million signups for the waiting list in the first day. They surpassed over 100k users in no time. But you can go and see what they've developed as well as one of the options as
other brands could branch out and expand to our telegram and ton and i i think with stickers and
we definitely got into that it was great that there were like 300 000 wallets ready to buy it
and i think and i talk a lot about it i don't know if any apes agree with me on that but i really
think that it's amazing to actually sell the or, not sell the IP, but spread the IP outside of our club, right? Let other people buy
those stickers. Like we don't have to buy it ourselves. I didn't mind that I don't have any
like a low list for that because I was happy that other people can buy it. I have so many like BYC
and all the NFTs that I don't need stickers. I can buy them afterwards but I'm happy that other people were able to
actually get them but
guys I have one and maybe
you know the question maybe
will be really basic and
you know Tino knows my favorite
snippet here so I'm gonna be honest with you
kind of retarded
so I wanted to ask very simple
question and I saw this question like in so many
so many group chats what is telegram actually for like really it sounds maybe retarded but
what's the difference between telegram and other other apps and what's like the main use case to
be honest because i'm in the groups there i'm d DMing people there. But I think this, not so many people know it.
I know in our group, some people are, you know, like Tino in their 70s.
So, you know, they never used Telegram before.
So if you could give us just like how to use that actually,
what's the best way?
That would really help me.
Oh, that's a great question.
Zanem, do you want to comment or you want me to comment on this one?
I don't mind.
Well, firstly, you said it yourself.
You use it for groups.
You use it for chat and private messaging.
I think first and foremost, Telegram is meant to be a messaging app, right?
That's what it was designed for, encrypted messages between in DMs
and within private groups for privacy, specifically on that privacy part, right?
Now, since then, it's become definitely a mix of social media,
like a social platform.
I would say definitely a social media platform
and a private messaging because you can host your own channels.
You can host your own communities.
And some of these channels have millions of subscribers, right?
Where instead of where you have on X, where you have an endless page where you can scroll and
see everyone posting it'll be like a specific imagine if you created a list for just a specific
content content creator or you go into their profile and you can you go and you scroll through
their posts right that's what channels are um in a way you can have channels with multiple people
commenting and doing and making posts as well.
So it's very different.
But now it's also become a source of communities.
Communities are hosted on there
with announcement channels, with groups.
And since last year,
they've introduced Telegram mini apps.
So now it's become a whole ecosystem
very close to what WeChat looks like, right?
So it's basically WeChat in the West, but also an upgraded version because it's connected directly to the blockchain.
WeChat is not connected to the blockchain, right?
So now the capability of this is that you are able to be completely anonymous on a decentralized platform,
which is a social media platform and a direct
messaging platform because as Victor mentioned previously you can own your username you can have
anonymous numbers so you don't even need to register with your own phone number you can buy
an anonymous number NFT and register for an account that way you can own multiple usernames that you
own and people will have to basically buy from you or you can transfer uh and of course you can
do whatever you want with your pfp so you can you can remain completely anonymous you can be
connected to the blockchain with telegram mini apps you can access other mini apps such as games
such as shops uh basically a whole plethora of different uh things within telegram it's really
becoming a one go-to platform uh in a way for for users to come along and just do kind of what they want
and it's become in my opinion it's basically an early version of facebook games um when facebook
games came out but also at the same time it's more of an app store because it's not just games
there's so much more to it yeah i think the interesting part that you mentioned here is the
yeah i think the interesting part that you mentioned here is the uh uniqueness of the way
you consume the information because it's not algorithmic based feed so there is no algorithm
that is feeding your brain grateful this is the biggest point in in my personal perception of
reality of social media in a sense and then you could actually really make a list of only information
you care to see.
And if you have Telegram Premium, you won't see any ads as well.
So your experience will be uninterrupted.
Only content you care for.
No random stuff popping up on your timeline.
And if you mind your privacy and that there is no backdoors implemented in the messaging app for the encryption, like it is on the whatsapp for example um then i mean
telegram is a better choice for that reason alone too and of course the fact that it's becoming a
super app uh as a wechat by the way i think telegram already bigger than the wechat in the
sense of the amount of users and it continues to grow and shopping is actually one of the vectors that is developing pretty well as well.
So you can go and order things online, bank with USDT on ton and ton directly in Telegram, not leaving a single app.
And another huge use case is payments.
You can send USDT on ton via Telegram via username to your friend, family member.
on to on via telegram via username to your friend, family member.
And then once they try to click claim it, will then log them through how to create a wallet, which is also integrated directly in telegram.
So there is a lot of new use cases that are quite foreign to the rest of the world.
Maybe beside people that are familiar with the super effective system, such as WeChat, or maybe Kakao.
These are two great examples and telegram already today bigger than them and continue to develop
especially since it's a global app it's not targeted toward one particular niche market
wechat is a chinese thing and then we have a kakao ecosystem which is mainly korea and that's it
that's very interesting and uh you you know, Telegram is huge.
Everything you're talking about, all the numbers is huge.
But at the same time, compared to the loud noise,
you know, of Solana or Base or any other blockchains
or even different platforms for chatting,
you guys are like, it feels like it's like building in silence is this part of the
strategy or is it is it somehow somehow i don't know is the high train only coming or or am i
missing something yeah so first of all the crypto is uh you know often based on to just hype cycles here what's interesting with ton is it's not
really always even tidying up to the actions of the bitcoin price movements i mean if you go and
look at the charts historically you may see couple examples of this why is that happening because
song has a continuous usage and uh well the the branch out needs to be done across the different social media platforms
and to actually achieve this reach.
And then there is also a lot of things that, yes, done in silence until they are done,
until they are announced, until they are executed.
But then along the way, we do share reports and we're going to do more of it
as for the developments.
The thing is, usually you see people discovering those innovations when it
really starts hitting the public big time. And here with Son, it's been very organically developing.
We had our moments of increase of activity to the insane levels, especially with mini-apps. Boom.
Now there is a rise of interest because of the NFTs and what's going on here.
But in fact, this is just the beginning because the size of interest because of the nfts on what's going on here but in fact this is just
the beginning because the size of this ecosystem to the potential of capturing more and more audience
through the next couple years is insane and i think as you mentioned in the beginning
usually blockchain start with the technology and then hoping for adoption here there are users
the technology is getting
developed and getting better, so those users could actually interact with it, not necessarily even
knowing that they interact with it and making it as simple as possible, as sending text messages,
let's say. Man, after the space, I'll definitely go to my Telegram and I'll start more exploring
what's going on there because I didn't spend, like I remember back in 2021,
I spent even a whole day on one thing
to just learn more, explore,
maybe even a week, right?
And I haven't spent much time on Telegram,
so I'll 100% do it.
Guys, I'll quickly refresh the space.
We have over 100 people and only 29 retweets, guys.
Hit that retweet button so more people can join us.
Tino is crying, he's really sensitive, so please retweet button so more people can join us Tino is crying. Oh my he's really sensitive
so please retreat so he's okay and
Yeah
Hold on hold on wait a minute. Who isn't retweet?
Right, I'm doing I'm doing a check right now. I'm going on everyone's profile. I'm gonna see who hasn't retweeted
I'm doing I'm doing a check right now. I'm going on everyone's profile. I'm gonna see who hasn't retweeted
Bro, you haven't retweeted Mitoshi what's going on? All right next who's next?
Sean Sean
What the hell man? No retweet if you don't retweet we got a publisher telegram messages guys so that ass
Thought I wasn't a backdoor
you're gonna invent one
guys we saw many projects actually
joining you know
releasing stickers
on ton I think that's
that's also amazing revenue stream
for those projects because it's not
easy in web 3 to monetize, right?
And then your community is like, oh, we bought your NFTs and now we have to pay you something else, which makes sense, right?
Because you need to have revenue stream if you want to run a business, right? see any interesting use cases for Web3 projects? Or maybe use cases from projects in Web2
that you think might be very good for Web3 projects?
I think that's a great question.
There are great use cases, for example, even of the stickers.
So Chimper has been finding the new way of introducing some little utility sets,
doing some raffles, etc. to the folders.
I think another great example, and we're yet to see much more integration.
So a lot of those things haven't happened yet, but I know that some people are on it.
But integration of, let's say, stickers and gifts inside of the mini apps as well this is another possible
avenue to expand and to explore and here even like a major studios and there is a few
in torn ecosystem that are considering or already working on implementing nft gifts
and some of them would be go gaming working on the plush peppa game
there is several games that are allowing you to basically stake your gifts and get some points on
the platform aka farming gear drove you could utilize them as your pets inside of like the
outmine game for example you could also if you have a dwarf cap inside of ton battleground on
your skin on your
character when you're playing which is by the way like a call of duty but inside of telegram which
you don't have to know a lot pretty epic isn't it um you're gonna have a cap on your character
in the game so those little things are already happening and there is going to be more of them
coming along as we progress I think this is a great way to find
the new utility for those digital assets. And then even taking into consideration that, for example,
Telegraph mini apps must only utilize Tone blockchain, today there are technologies such
as Layer 0 with the OTP standard. So you could actually create a breach of your token with a
unified liquidity pool across several chains.
And then you could utilize technically the same token
that you already have on the market,
just inside of Tone ecosystem
for maybe further redistribution through the mini app, etc.
The opportunities are limitless.
It's really a matter of how people will approach this.
And I think our imaginations is the only thing
that could limit us at point in time. And trust people are not done innovating here they're only getting started
man chimpers are everywhere absolutely love them uh so good to see them also garga
i tweeted early today man that victor said but actually Garga said that there will be mutant and ape
stickers after the token gated functionality is ready, right Ethan? Well, what you said was that
you can, it's a white list that if you have a board ape or a mutant ape, you can nint these
particular stickers. He's trying to get the alpha out of me, guys. He's trying to extract alpha
right now. He's not going to do it. I'm better than this.
I'm always trying.
Yeah, I'm kind of referring always to the official post.
And I've shared this in replies and in the quotes with saying exactly what I meant to be more precise and on point.
I don't get it.
It's like, look, we all see this comment, right?
I was ready.
I was ready.
What do you mean?
What do you mean? What do you mean?
What do you mean?
What do you mean, bro?
What are you saying?
You're saying we're trying to hide something?
No, no, no.
I'm trying always to get alpha from you guys.
But what about content creators?
Do you have something for us? Can we also create our own stickers or for our communities?
Or what would you recommend us to do?
Like we're running spaces.
We have our like grateful show community.
Tino has his like Rample Crew community and Infitorium community.
What would you recommend us?
I know there are many creators.
There are like thousands of Ape Chain spaces going on.
Any tips for us?
Yeah.
I'll hand it over to zenith in a second but i think the first thing you can do instead of trying to think oh i need to make
stickers i need to make stickers the first thing you need to do is make a channel or a group chat
which is like kind of a channel but also a group chat like i'll show you but the first thing you
need to do is start your community on telegram it won't grow
like massively fast like maybe maybe you get like 100 people in your first day if you're lucky
but the longer it's on your profile on your ex you're always getting hundreds and hundreds of
profile visits every day and you know people join so over like the last i don't know three months
i've got 782 people in it which isn't a lot compared to like how many followers I've got on X.
But I would say it's not far off how powerful my following on X is because it's just way more personal when it's a channel.
It's like I'm talking directly to the people that follow it, giving them news.
So if you want to learn how content creators can make stuff on Telegram,
first make a channel.
By the way, speaking of this, since we're on this topic,
do you know that you receive 50% share from the ad revenue that is generated?
And if you don't have Soundgram Premium,
you're actually going to see ads in all the different channels.
And so basically, yeah,
there are minimum requirements. I think
like must have at least
1,000 followers on a channel,
et cetera. But
the monetization is also done in Tone.
So if you want your payouts,
start creating content on Telegram
and receive directly tons
which is you know just another revenue stream for many creators as well many youtubers uh or
streamers start creating telegram channels too first of all they get gifts as gifts sent to them
and second of all that's the whole new revenue that they generate maybe that's not uh you know
like millions of dollars but in a sense
the same as with x monetization you do feel that when you receive let's say an extra thousand bucks
a month for just cheat posting right so why not get more monetization from another platform
for interaction with your community and this is another uh really powerful thing but yeah um
and this is another really powerful thing.
But yeah, let's circle back to Zenith.
I wanted to say that in regards to launching your own stickers,
I'd suggest to wait a little bit.
Give us a few weeks and then you'll have more answers
just in a couple of weeks, I'd say.
Because there's a lot of pieces that are currently in movement.
So at this point on, the best thing I could suggest is to wait just a little bit.
Man, a lot of people discuss with stickers because someone shared in my group chat the link.
I downloaded the stickers.
So it's something like back in 2021, like right-click save.
So I right-click save the stickers.
Especially I love the middle finger one with BYUC.
That's amazing.
I wish I have it.
Maybe I can have it on X2 because I love that one.
But what's the purpose of having these stickers as nft um i know it can probably unlock some future
benefits like uh private group chats right but and anything else that you can share
okay so this is an interesting question let's separate it this way the same as you said you can like click save your your
damn i don't know if i'm rocked because man i was so much wrecked so many times yeah bro but twitter is crazy today like man you see if you were on telegram
that would not be happening so next time we're organizing call on your channel grateful sorry
there is no way i'm going back uh let's wait for Zed if he's right here.
No worries. But give it a try, man. Give it a try. It actually works sweet, I'm telling you.
I don't often use Google Meets anymore. I don't know how private or protected they are,
if you know what I mean. I don't think they are at all, man.
You see the privacy concerns become real.
Have you seen the interview with Joe Rogan and FinCadev?
What is his name?
Zuckerberg.
This guy.
I mean, he's openly telling you that, yes, they censored billions of people,
that, yes, your data is sold.
I mean, listen to this.
And then you use this platform expecting the best from them i mean
they censor jokes you know like even just memes you i don't know how could you trust a platform
that censors memes i don't know that's weird am i back you back yes you are fine i don't know why i
just disconnected from the wi-fi. I'm running 5G.
Let's do this.
Okay.
As I was saying previously, yes, you can.
Technically, by click Save and use those stickers.
But then, at the end of the day,
you probably want more people to see your stickers, don't you?
Now, if we take a sample of, let's say, 2,000 supply stickers,
2,000 owners,
100% unique ownership.
That's going to be very interesting if that ever happens.
Each person sends that sticker 100 times a day.
2,000 times 100 is 2 million, basically, times that gets sent.
Now, if you go into the BaySea group, and let's say there's 2,000 supply stickers still, now there is, I think, 79,000 subscribers on the base here, official.
Now, imagine if all of those get access to the stickers
and they start sending them.
How many more views are you going to get on your stickers
compared to only the actual sticker holders sending those stickers, right?
So now you've gone from 2 million to, let's say, okay,
they also send it 100 times.
Now, 79,000, that would will be a lot i can't do
maths right now on my head quickly but i think you get the point right uh the number of views
you're going to get daily on your stickers being sent and used it's going to be exponential if
everyone gets to use them however there are still only 2 000 owners of that sticker pack so it's just the views and
the numbers right it's it's the same as with giphy for instance when pudgy penguins talk about uh talk
about their gifts and their stickers that get viewed you know through giphy they're like oh
there's three billion views now if those gifts were only restricted to five thousand people using them
they would not be in the billions of views would they there would be much much less
so this way you can now say okay well they're going to get a lot more views and of course the
the more as the supply doesn't increase however the more the amount of eyes does which means the demand can increase and you know you can do supply and demand and pricing of things and just to figure
that out but when it comes to actual users holding them,
at the end of the day, that really depends
on the people who are launching those stickers.
We already have token gated communities for sticker holders
that have been set up within Telegram for different stickers
that have been launched.
As you can see, Pudger Penguins have released a game.
I actually don't know if they give special utility in that game
for sticker holders.
Maybe they do, or maybe they will at a later stage but at the end
of the day if you're launching sticker packs right it's in my opinion it's the same as when you were
launching um pfp back in the day in 21 22 you have to provide the community with something for as
well especially those holders give them extra utility and i'll be honest with you with telegram
mini apps you can provide
endless utility honestly you can build games you can build anything you want and provide utility
within those apps for those holders uh even if it's just like a merch store you can give discount
based upon people holding those stickers within your within their wallets right so it really
it's all up to you at the end of the day and imagination and your imagination.
So I guess that's my explanation as to why you can right click save. Can you somehow combine that you have stickers on Tone blockchain and that you have other side that's powered by Apechain?
Can you combine these words somehow that if you have stickers on Tone, you can get something in the other side is that
possible somehow i i presume maybe find something through some printing i start it depends really
uh most likely let's say if you launch the product in the apeshane all you have to do is probably
add a ton wallet connect specifically for that utility that you're giving around those holders
they connect their wallet it just double checks that they have that sticker and you put the
utilities in that user right it's just you just have to add another another wallet connect
awesome and important question for me where can i buy those stickers is there like say like open
sea of ton or magic eden of ton let me get my referral link really quick for that no no um
it's palace um is like the biggest one igloo market um igloo is by the way very competitive
igloo market guess uh there is some ties as well to some other brands but uh they have
like it depends how much fees you want to pay as well as other functions.
But Palace is a great one.
Yes.
As Ethan mentioned, Iglo just came out.
I think...
One of these are Telegram mini apps.
Yeah, yeah.
So these markets are all within Telegram.
So they're not just like you go onto your thing.
You can do this all on your phone.
You don't need to open up your laptop.
Literally, you can go right now and check if you have telegram just just open it i have actually i'm gonna put a post
now i'm just gonna put a post up to the top uh just please because i when basie launched their
stickers i realized that there wasn't really that many posts in terms of which secondary markets
exist uh yeah i know which post you refer to.
For a second, nobody looks at your one.
Yeah, obviously.
So we need more people to tweet their own Grateful.
What about collecting those referrals?
You know, you could generate a portion of, like,
revenue from your referrals, buying stickers or gifts.
Guys, guys.
Like, it's time to get shared.
Let's go for it.
Before we create a business plan for
grateful what's going on with uh with the fees from the uh from the uh the secondary market it's
like 10 15 is that correct indeed welcome to the launch of a new narrative where there isn't that
many secondary markets so they can charge whatever fees they want right i mean for instance palace
palace came out first with 15 igloo came out second with 11 and a half and now market which
is the third one that's added sticker is at seven and a half so of course more competition higher
innovation but also lower fees um so clearly there's a gap for lower fees so there you go
and i know a lot of apes who are listening are very business
savvy and want to be creating businesses and other types of apps so yeah just a hint hint wink wink
it's also similar with gifts too uh by the way guys and the tunnel for example uh that's been
dominating for quite a while and it's been the first NFT gift marketplace
they charged the
damn
rocked Victor
what's going on with X today
oh my god
the back door
you know
they're trying really hard
guys I know we have another call in like 3-4 minutes the backdoor, you know. They're trying really, really hard.
Guys, I know you have another call in like three, four minutes.
Is there anything that I forgot to ask you that you would love to share?
Anything that we might skip and it's important for people?
You know, because I expect that BAYC release stickers,
so there will be more activations on Telegram, right?
So I also wanted to do this space with you to bring more awareness between apes, right?
So they know how it works and they can prepare for that.
So if you want to share anything, I would love that.
Ethan, you are muted. Go ahead, bro.
Yeah, yeah.
I would say that Gaga released a statement
just talking about how the demand for the stickers was absolutely mental.
There was 300,000 wallets trying to mint, what was it, like 5,000 stickers or something.
So, you know, the chances of getting them weren't very good.
But it raises the point that whitelisting is needed.
And, you know, we see that.
We understand that.
I want it as well because, you know, I want my Bored Ape stickers too,
believe it or not.
So, you know, competition rises, and it will rise in the gift market as well.
You know, these high fees aren't going to be around forever.
It will be a race to the bottom, as it always will be,
because the only reason someone uses a marketplace is for two things.
One, liquidity on that marketplace, and two, how much is the fees?
So those are the two things that these gift markets are going to be competing on.
Same with the stickers.
So if you had a good experience and you got your stickers, great.
If you weren't too happy, I understand that.
We're going to fix it and just stick around.
Bullish.
Awesome, Ethan. it and just stick around Polish Awesome Ethan Thank you so much guys Zenit
Jacob
Anything else that you would like to add
I don't know if it's ragging or not
because it's been crazy today
on X. Can you hear me, Tino?
Yeah, you're good, bro.
Oh, damn, good, good.
I think the guys are on the call already.
Oh, Victor is coming, so I quickly bring him back.
And...
Victor, welcome back!
Yeah, it dropped me into the metaverse.
Crazy.
It sent me into the other side.
Anyways, back to the space.
The one thing I will suggest people to do is to go and just try to explore a little bit of Telegram and Tone ecosystem and what's happening there.
there because as telling you this, it's not the same as you go again exploring yourself.
Because I was telling you this, it's not the same as you go again exploring yourself.
Once you start to understand that it's really so accessible inside of a single app, it will
make much more sense.
Just go explore, visit App Center, try different marketplaces for gifts.
See how's that work.
Try Pengu game.
Maybe you will find inspiration in this as a creator as well.
And we do want to see more projects building.
We're going to continue to develop our support programs and please read on blockchain page for more information and guidance as well.
Damn, I didn't even know there's like an App Center or Game Center. Oh my God, so embarrassing guys. But I'll do better till the next time. I'll learn and I'll start using more because I know more stickers are coming in.
I want them, right?
I want to flex them a bit.
So love it.
Love it.
I also see many people from Tone community requesting to get on stage.
Guys, hit me a DM.
Maybe you can do separate space from the community people.
That would be really interesting.
Zenit, anything from your side that you would like to share?
Maybe Zenit is... No, Or maybe I'm still here.
I would say keep an eye out on the sticker space
in the next two to three weeks, please.
We should be having some fun.
Love it, guys. I really love how you're pushing it.
You are doing so many spaces,
so many tweets and everything.
That's really dope to see.
And I also like that,
I'll Talk for BAYC,
that stickers sold out so quickly
and that the demand was so high
and that probably a lot of people
outside of the club were able to buy it,
which I think it's amazing.
So big shout out to you.
Thank you so much for joining us today.
Ethan, Victor, Zenit, Jacob, Thank you so much. Really appreciate your time and everything you shared. I think we could go for another one or two hours, but we can do another one a little bit later, maybe before the next drop. We'll see. It's going to be exciting. So thank you so much, guys.
it's going to be exciting.
So thank you so much,
guys.
You're much love,
grateful.
You're an absolute legend.
You know,
I'm so glad that you're still here.
I came back,
bro.
Like grateful is the absolute king of like authentic,
just down,
down to earth community spaces.
And we need more like him.
Well,
there'll never be another grateful,
but yeah
much love grateful thank you so much for having us uh what we'll do this again sometime
100 thank you so much guys what a blast on ton blockchain now we gotta move into ape chain oh my
god we are we are going around the world from ton to ape chain to somnia love it guys love it absolutely hype tuesday thank you again
and uh i'll quickly say hi to balloons here and to anyone who's behind the pig scape games
high hive invasion account so balloons welcome here how are you doing today i'm good How are you doing today? I'm good, how are you? Oh, we're doing great, and I have something for you Tino already probably knows, but...
I was waiting for someone to play that.
Yeah, you were like, oh shit, how original, right? I heard this for like a 69th time.
Yeah, no, I've been in so many spaces and no one's ever thought to...
Oh really? Oh my god!
Yeah, it's sitting right there, it's so obvious.
It's so obvious, right?
I'm grateful I've been playing that song for like 300 episodes ago
and he finally has a reason to, so welcome's a banger well yeah i'm sure that's
the only reason i got up here so he could play it oh damn i'm trying to rename the space guys
wow that was cool sorry i'm trying to rename the space for for balloons on ape chain but it doesn't work man like apple is like 20 trillion billion uh million
dollar company and copy paste doesn't work what's going on so give me a sec give me a sec i'll try
to figure that out and i'll be back in a minute so tino take it from here please yeah absolutely
also i'll do my best want to say hi to Pigscape Games. How are you guys doing?
Yeah, hey, it's Richie from the Pigscape team.
Yeah, we are really great.
What about you? How was your site?
Amazing. As Grateful said, we are super happy that we are in this inter blockchain uh space today so it's very cool that we are
coming from thorn to ape chain all the way to uh to uh to somnia so super excited and uh yeah so
maybe maybe balloons uh let's start uh let's start with you guys what's happening what are you up to
what should we know how can we get some uh some alpha from you tell us um yeah uh so
balloons is kind of an interesting um nft project in a couple ways not in the most familiar ones
um i was gonna say it's not really important if you put balloons in your uh in the title for the spaces because our project's not really designed to sell out,
which is a weird thing to say.
Most projects want to sell out.
It's kind of like counterintuitive to the way we designed it
for us to sell out immediately.
So what we wanted to do, I don't know if you're familiar with this.
I think it's Labu booboo craze. Basically, it's like a blind
box that you that you open. People are going crazy for them.
You go to the store, you buy one, you open the bag, you see
what you got, you go back. Before I even heard that that was a
huge thing. I saw a video on on Twitter of somebody opening. I
was like, that's what we're trying to make. So what balloons on ape is, is trying to recreate what we thought that my co-founder and I
is the best part of any NFT project, which is the reveal. And we were like, how do we make that
feeling of the reveal last as long as possible and be in the hands of the holder.
So we decided to kind of create this experience that involved a lot of work and like three
to four separate smart contracts that involves many NFTs, but only one initial mint where
you kind of recreate the feeling of going, the feeling I had when I was a
kid anyway, of going back to the store, buying packs of cards, bringing them home, opening them,
see what I got, and then going back to the store the next day. So what we have with balloons is this
free contract kind of system that will unfold over the course of a month where you will meet your initial
NFT and it will be a package or a box. And then you can choose to do a whole number of things.
It's up to you when you open this and when you reveal it. We're not going to reveal anything.
That's completely up to you. You can hold the box for as long as you want. You can never open it or you can open it.
And when you open it, you'll have a package inside similar to like a package of cards.
And then this new package will have a new set of basically rarities and chances to reveal certain things within it.
Now, with that package, you can open that if you want or you don't have to.
Eventually, the goal is to get to a PFP, which is a fully inflated balloon.
But that supply will be controlled basically by the community and how they want to use it.
So you can take your NFT that you have, and you can choose to turn it into um a pfp anytime you want which is this cute little
balloon monkey which you can hold in your hand and things like that um but the way to create this
it doesn't come along all the time you have to go to our site when we call it the helium truck
comes now the helium truck arrives on a sporadic schedule and you can only get
a certain amount of helium when it arrives. So only a certain number of people of the
total supply of balloons will be able to actually create their PFP. Helium will be free and it's
basically just a big gas tank that you mint and when you combine it with your package of balloons you
create your pfp um so there's a whole bunch of mechanics within this um with supply and demand
and market because then you have a supply of helium and gas that people can go and hoard if
they want uh it's not always available um and the whole idea is to have this collection unfurl over the course of
three four months and within it you can create new collections as well so you can have if you
wanted to do your mutant balloons you wouldn't mint we wouldn't mint another collection we would
create it within the collection itself now this requires just a shit ton of drawing from me, because we need to
have alternatives for every single thing. And every type of gas or PFP that we want to input
as well. So if one, if one day you come and the gas truck is, is giving away like nitrogen
or a different gas, and then everyone's like, oh crap, I want to use nitrogen on my PFP.
Then you can inflate it with that and you can get the nitrogen version of this balloon that you have.
There's a bunch of other mechanics in there as well as like pops and re-rolls. So if you don't,
if you're not happy with what you got, you can pop it and then you can re-inflate it. And every
NFT will have a certain number of reinflates as well.
Like I said, there's like four smart contracts
working on this thing.
We wanted to keep the info of how it actually works.
This is the first time I think I've said most of it,
honestly, because like I said,
it was designed not to sell out immediately.
We wanted to have that experience
of somebody getting a box opening it
grabbing helium inflating it liking what they got and going to get another box so there's a lot of
kind of thought that went into this and like i said this is you know we wanted to just focus on
our favorite part of nfts which is the reveal and we want we hope other people might adopt it in the future so anyway interesting
interesting i i do love when somebody comes up with innovative mechanics or anything uh bead
reveal or or minting process uh just for the slower uh ones of us uh what i mean uh what do
i mean so i mean an nft uh which is a pack in which I could have a balloon.
I could have some kind of gas and some other stuff.
And I combined it?
Or correct me if I'm wrong.
It's a box.
No, you just get a box.
You get a package and then you can open that package.
And inside of it will be your package of balloons, which you can inflate.
The gas is coming from the truck on our site.
That's where you would get the helium.
That's something...
And everybody can have that, so you don't have to buy it?
Everybody can have it. It's free.
It's completely free, but you can't get it all the time.
That's the thing with it.
Like the truck will arrive on a schedule
and maybe it only has like a hundred at a time or 500
helium at a time. So only 500 people can reveal the first time. And maybe somebody goes in and
they, you know, they meant like 20 or 30 of them. And now there's, now they're starting to sell
helium and now, now there's a helium black market. So yeah, we wanted to create something that was
kind of fun and created a whole bunch of different mechanics and just was an ongoing narrative as well that people could work
towards um and a lot more information is going to come out soon and like i said it you know it's a
little counterintuitive to most projects but yeah we don't don't, everyone's like messaging me like, I was like 8,888.
Are you sure you're going to sell out?
I'm like, we don't plan to, that was the intention.
Like we never, I was thinking every time they messaged me, I'm like, I should have done
like 10,000 or something like that, just so we could have that supply set.
And there was enough of them there that people could go back over time again and again and
again, and buy more so we're truly
focused on building well we've already built most of it but you know telling the story over a long
period of time i i 100 have a question and i will ask the same to pig scape why they picked
somnia network and i have to ask you why did you actually pick Ape Chain?
Man, honestly, it was because...
You guys, do you know AllCity?
Of course, yeah.
Yes, AllCity is a very good friend of mine
back from the days...
the days of being back from 2020, 2021.
I mean, back from 2020, 2021.
I remember when he bought his ape for, I think, one EF,
and we all made fun of him for it.
Like, it was a whole thing.
And we were like, oh, man, I hope that's worth it for you.
And it completely paid off, obviously.
But anyway, we connected like two or three months ago
when we were shopping for chains for balloons. And I mean,
obviously we're looking at abstract. Abstract was hot at the moment. We weren't thrilled with how
their wallet worked. And we thought that it was, you know, it was right for some issues going down
the road and also the approaches. And basically he just, you know, he just talked up and down about how great Ape Chain was.
And the gas fees were perfect for what we wanted to do.
Obviously, we couldn't build this on any other chain unless it had gas fees like Ape Chain because there's so many transactions and interactions that you have to go through.
So, yeah, I mean, we chose it because it just seems
to be the place. You know, it's, it's a little, I think it's undervalued as well. Ape Chain,
I think it's on, on the come up or the rise. And I think it's a little misunderstood. And I think
people need to build interesting things here as well and keep doing that. So we wanted to try and be part of that and bring something super interesting and different
to Apechain and see how they kind of handle it or how it's received.
We've partnered with a bigger project on Abstract called Bearish, who does some innovative Discord
stuff. They have this thing called Dripchain, who does some innovative Discord stuff.
They have this thing called DripChain,
which gamifies your Discord, so we use that as well.
So now in our Discord, you can earn like a balloon token.
You can use that to buy and spend certain things,
but that's helped a lot as well.
So we've tried to onboard from other chains as well
to bring them here to show that it's not that, it's not that's not that big a jump to go from abstract to ApeChain at all.
It's just swapping one token.
So, yeah, we really wanted to build here.
We think, like, there's a very bright future for ApeChain.
Love to hear that.
Also, do you work with anyone who's already established in an ApeChain community?
Do you plan any collapse with them um we've spoken with ryda uh or rita however you want to say his name
um because long term down the road we want to do integration with your balloon once they're all
revealed for other side um and you you know, other than that, I
mean, we've collabed with every every project that's on a chain
for the most part. But that's just for for spots. That's just
normal stuff. I mean, we're reaching out to other projects,
and we'd love to work with them as well. Our main thing that we
want to push forward is is doing reveals and and launches uh with similar kind of mechanics that that we
have and we're we're openly offering to help people do this as well we think it's just a
really fun mechanic for people who want to have kind of a different reveal process
and want to have unrevealed and revealed and have that choice up to the person.
Like if you want to open your package or not, or you want to sell that as something that's closed,
I think it adds way more value to the NFT itself and puts more power in the holder's hand and more
value in the NFT. Like you see this in Pokemon cards when you have a blind box or you have an
unopened first edition box goes for exponentially more the same thing could happen with an nft that's valuable if you had an unopened
board ape crate that had a board ape in it i mean it would be worth more than a floor
because it's you know you're paying for the potential which is i think a very powerful
thing and i think more projects should try and do that.
I'm just checking the blether. By the way, talking about Rita, during the day we call him Rita,
during the night we call him Ryda because it's inspired by Flo Ryda and especially one song
and that's a great fit for Las Vegas that we are all going.
You know, it's this one.
Yeah, Rita loves that 100%.
So that's the alpha here.
How can people get on the list?
Or can they still get there?
They can.
I mean, you can DM me and ask.
I mean, a lot of projects are on there
and I don't even think their community knows. You can reach out to me. You can still get
we're giving away actually free mints in the discord. And no, there's no community that
has free mints. Basically, we're going to airdrop packages after the mint to people. But you have to interact in the Discord and enter a raffle.
Every day, I'm raffling off two free spots.
And you can get a guaranteed spot pretty easily in the Discord as well.
Even in the next four days, you can get one.
I mean, you earn loons, which are like the currency in the Discord for interacting with tweets and different things.
So you can easily earn it and get a guaranteed spot in the Discord as well.
Or you could reach out to whatever project you are in and associated with and ask them to reach out to me and I will give them spots.
I will give away as many spots as they want. So, like I said, we're not, you know, we don't need to mint out right away.
But we want people who are interested to be able to come in and grab one.
Yeah, that's going to be 100% interesting mint.
I love minting, especially on blivers.
My last mint was Night Glidersiders which mint out so quickly that
was wild and you're minting in less than three days so guys get ready check blavver you can find
a timer there any more yeah we'll have all the all the wallets will be added in the next two days
as well people are going in and checking if they're guaranteed or not.
So I know some people were asking.
So we're going to be adding all of those whitelists and all of the guaranteed slots.
We've talked also with Pilot from Nightgliders about how he actually did and achieved to mint out,
I think the collection was like 3,333
for 33
ApeCoin
What's your final push before the mint?
What's your plan?
Do you have any other spaces that people can
see? Do you have anything planned?
I don't have any spaces lined up
right now. I've been getting on stage as much
as I can. I mean, I guess I can talk
more about the mechanics but the more I i talk about them the more i think they confuse people i think it's
something you have to experience um this is why we went with a larger supply and a lower price
so people would be you know less inhibited at just purchasing one to see what happens because i think
that's where um they're gonna find out that they actually like it i'm gonna be boots on the ground as well i think at nftnyc
tomorrow and the following day i have a bunch of like balloon stickers and stuff i'm gonna be
talking to founders and and and other people as well um but yeah just getting the information out
and making sure that all of the projects, wallets and stuff are in.
You know, I'm working on the collection as well.
So I have a ton of drawing and work to do in the background as well as doing all of the advertising and stuff like that.
So you have to wear a ton of hats when you're doing this stuff.
I think a lot of the other founders know that.
So I'm just going to stay busy keep keep talking where people will let
me and and yeah I'm just excited to get going so are you also in touch with
lost or NGB from from a chain team or anyone else yeah I've spoken to him
yeah lost I haven't spoken to but N but NGB I'm into it. Oh, I understand that man, like orange background, like why would you talk to them, right?
But yeah, NGB, really dope guy.
Yeah man, good luck with the Mint, definitely we'll reach out if we can get on our list.
Is there like anything else that you would love to share?
Or how can people learn more about the mechanics?
I see the pinned
tweet uh i'm not sure if it explains everything but no if people want to learn more purposely
i haven't explained anything anywhere um so that's all been very intentional and that was you know
and it's working so you know people are like i don't know if you have enough attention to mint
out and like i said all of that is intentional.
All of these things have already been created.
All of the smart contracts are there.
And we're going to dole out the information through the stages because we want this to
be an experience that you kind of walk through and kind of a narrative as well.
So we want to talk about it as if you've ordered a package and it's arrived late.
And now this mysterious truck has shown up. So we've ordered a package and it's arrived late and now this
mysterious truck has shown up so we've taken a lot from projects we've liked um and this is like you
know wag me son and um you know how you'd go to his shop and he would like create your nfts for you
things like that like we we love that kind of experience with nfts so that's what we kind of want to unfurl here
um so it's going to be a fun ride um and if you guys want to get an nft day one you can if you
want to come back five days later if you want to join the discord and see what it's all about
um do that as well you know it's it's fine by me we're going to keep uh rolling it out and
it doesn't matter when you purchase it, because you can always do these interactions.
You're not going to miss anything.
So, yeah.
Thank you so much for giving me the time to talk.
Thank you so much.
Good luck.
Is there any time frame when you close the Mint,
or it's going to be open until the Mint out?
open till the mint out it will be open as long as the blerver will have it open so um if it doesn't
It will be open as long as Blubber will have it open.
mint out uh yeah it'll be open as long as they allow it up there maybe you know maybe we can
switch the host over at some point uh or we can like point to uh the mint if it takes a little
bit longer but yeah we we love the idea of people being able to find this project in a month and
going to purchase a package you know that's still sitting there and join the the community that way
so um yeah it'll be up there for as long as they they allow it to be up there so we don't want to
take up too much space so awesome thank you so much for sharing, guys. If you want to learn more, click on Baloon's profile. And there's more info. Also the link for the Mint. And yeah. Apechain on top. Apechain on top. Let's go.
and when he or she heard
ApeChain on top, man, I got banned
from the Discord there. Oh, shit.
I will have to send some
bribes.
But love it. We love
minting on ApeChain and we
love buying NFTs on ApeChain. So
let's go. Good luck.
I had another question actually about
OtherSide. Belluns, are you
planning anything for OtherSide? Yeah. Belloons, are you planning anything for Outterside?
Yeah.
I mean, once you actually get your balloon finished,
it'll have, I think, three switchable images on the NFT itself.
You know how you can switch between full body on some NFTs
and the PFP view?
So it'll have a third view,
which is basically it as a suspended balloon um
and then we want to get those modeled so that if you hold one in other side because the whole idea
with this is we don't want to take from we know that ape chain and apes and board apes are a very
specific brand for people so asking people to change their their PFP is insane on ApeChain for the most part.
So we wanted to integrate within that.
So you would hold your balloon, you wouldn't become your balloon.
And we've done this on our site.
If you go to our website, we have a tool there where all the NFTs that we've on Ape
that we've collabed with, you can add a balloon to it.
You just put your token number in and it'll pop a balloon on whether you're a dsnr
whether you're a grape like all of these other collections we've clad with you can add balloons
to them um so yeah we wanted to kind of you know broadly go across communities but not tell them
like you know this will be your pfp so uh yeah we have plans for other sides but and you know that depends on their otk
and when when they're launching and and uh but we have some lined up people as well some 3d modelers
too so no matter when man it's that question is over and we know we know it's soon it's happening
very soon yeah i know i've heard that for a long time. Soon, yeah, soon.
Yeah, I expect more info tomorrow, actually.
I know Nana, he can't sleep.
He's not going to sleep a whole week.
And by the way, Outer Space FM,
they will have probably big space on Thursday.
They've been our sponsors since they started.
And they started after the first trip, right?
I think back in 2022, they've been very consistent
and they've been sending us a lot of ETH and a lot of ApeCoin.
So big shout out to them.
They send us zero ApeCoin and zero ETH every week.
It's amazing.
I bought Invisible Porsche from that, which is also dope. But yeah, anything else that
you would like to share before we got into Somnia Network? No, I think that's about it.
Yeah, I appreciate the platform. Yeah, I hope people enjoy their packages and they come along
for the ride. It's going to be very fun. Loved it. Loved loved it loved it guys also if you are minting anything
on ape chain and you want to join us here on stage hit me up in the dms um yeah also if you want to
sponsor us also hit me up in the dms right but love it good luck with the mint we'll be there
we'll be there i'll also uh dm you about about some allolists and we'll see how it goes guys. Thank you so much
for joining. I see so many builders on Apechain here in the audience so it's definitely good to
network with other people that already dropped their collections. So many legends here. I don't
know where even to start. I see Typical Tigers here. I see NFTft drew the security legend either animation peckalord web3 gets beat chef
pancho abuel cortez board closet nba memo oh my god i can you know we needed ai to read all the
legends here matoshi i sorry guys if i didn't read your name read it uh in your head uh i
definitely saw you here thank you so much for your support i can
read all the names right and let's quickly move into somnia network i played a game guys i played
hive invasion and it was fun i really enjoyed it and i think that's that's the most important thing
about games right they have to be fun i played so many play to earn i spent hours
clicking they were boring after tge no one played them so first step have a good game that's that's
what hive invasion is so welcome here again thank you so much for joining and let's get into it let's
get let's get into what you're cooking guys okay yeah yeah guys uh time to wake up because let's get some energy and hype because
my chill mode is on while the balloon speaker is talking sorry bro you are your um your language
is so slow and yeah i never like being so calm um more energy more hype and more games and grateful
is an amazing one and definitely deserves more hype.
And let's make some noise, first of all.
And yeah, let's introduce what about us, what we are working on it and what we are building.
And yeah, Pixcape is the Web3 native game studio founded on a simple but powerful vision to create fun, accessible and meaningful games where players don't just play, they own.
And we believe blockchain should empower players, not overhand that.
And that's why our focus is on gameplay first design with ownership and digital economies layered in seamlessly.
with ownership and digital economies layered in seamlessly.
And yeah, our flagship title is the Highway Invasion,
is a pixel art MMO built to run directly in your browser
with no install or no technical barriers, similar like PC requirements.
The goal is to offer players the classic MMO experience
they allow dungeon dungeons, bosses,
gear upgrades within a fully tradable ecosystem. Everything you can collect in high-win version
from skill upgrades and loot crafting materials or cosmetic gears can be earned, traded or sold.
It's a game that respects your time and rewards your progression with real and on-chain assets.
And yeah, we are building Home Invasion in Phase, the first playtest focusing on the PvE dungeon
gameplay with an arcade style. It was a great success with thousands of players actively
participating and sharing feedback
to us and collecting exclusive badges and the second play test again and the focusing on the
pv side with dungeon boss but the next phase will be introduced our social. Like you can jump into our city center
and chat with your friends and make a team up.
And then jump in the dungeon with your teammates.
And for sure, a fully integrated in-game economy.
And then our plan will be based on the PvP battles.
And for sure, a main net version
which is playable with NFT characters.
And yeah, right now,
we are also launching our Genesis Pass,
our premier NFT that unlocks early access,
unique missions, and long-term benefit
across the entire Peakscape universe.
And if I can give an example, what do you get with the Genesis Pass?
Like a free drop of the future heroes, NFTs, and other upgrade packages. And especially for our holders, we will drop special upgrade packs for the visual side.
And for sure, we can provide some airdrops.
Actually, I'm not sure talking about that because I have an NDA agreement.
I don't want to fire my company. talking about that because I have an NDA agreement.
I don't want to fire my company.
And also, you know, early access to upcoming playtests and way more as we grow the world.
And yeah, this is just the beginning at the Pigscape,
our long-term vision.
vision. Guys, where are you based actually? Actually, our teams really mix it. I am from
Guys, where are you based actually?
Turkey. Our boss living in Dubai. And, you know, our dev team, especially in the dev team,
our dev team,
especially in the dev team,
including the Indian guys,
OneTouch guys
from the blockchain side,
and also one of them
is the European side
from the Netherlands.
Yeah.
Got it.
We are multinational.
Got it, got it.
How did you end up with Somnia Network?
Why did you pick that
blockchain? Because we've talked to Tom today, we talked to Balloons, they are on Ape Chain,
so why Somnia Network? Yeah, actually, by the way, the point I should especially emphasize
that we have a multi-chain infrastructure, but somnia was definitely a good start for us
for the business side because somnia had many advantages for us at the start uh for example
the dev team integrated us very easily and helped us to solve our our other blockchain problems and it also a new network for sure it means they can easily collect more hype
and ready to explore for sure and with this it has a really fast infrastructure
although we got some rpc error and the dev team, Somnia dev team, produced a quick solution for us.
Yeah, that's it. That's our reason for choosing Somnia.
Yep, understand, man. The gameplay was really fun. I enjoyed the game.
So are you guys coming from gaming uh how many games you
made before uh before hive invasion yeah actually it's our first web 3 games um
before this part our you know i as i mentioned our team is really mixed and one of our game that
from the directly web to ecosystem especially on the steam games and you know they've uh he working Steam games, these games downloaded likely 40 million times.
And, you know, he has a really huge and deeply experience on the gaming ecosystem.
But for sure, the Web3 has a really challenging and competitive ecosystem right now.
Actually, we are a smaller team than other huge games
because we're just 11.
But to be honest, we are really hardworking and honest guys.
And because of this, we try to build a real and loyal team.
Got it.
Got it.
Dope, dope, dope.
Man, so many.
I've played so many amazing Web3 games recently.
FIFA Rivals, definitely one of them
big shout out to Squiddy
man, it's on Polkadot I think
and the game is smooth, it's great
it's fun and that's what
matters, right? So
where do you see yourself
maybe in 2025?
What's your goal in Web3?
You know,
one of the biggest
problems of the Web3 games
is accessibility.
In fact, the Tone ecosystem offers
a solution to this with
mobile accessibility and also similar
like the FIFA Rivals.
But we are trying to
offer solutions to gamers
with a different perspective.
The game can be played directly from your browser, with your PC.
And we are working to activate our mobile version in the next update.
To be honest, you know, the MMORPG soul will never die.
And we are building a huge competitive MMO universe.
And it means if we can reach a loyal community, we will never die.
And just imagine, there are lots of huge MMO games still live
from the beginning of the millennium, 2000s,
like Warcraft or other teams.
But for sure, the blockchain will integrate with the games as soon as possible. And we will at flagship for this uh proposal
got it got it let's go thank you so much for sharing um your mint is tomorrow guys so
definitely check them out the game was really fun i i had fun playing that i see somnia intern
checking on us here yeah it's that's, that's what I love, you know,
and I talk a lot about it before.
I see also Baron here that, you know,
I love the support from teams like BAYC team
is doing incredible job.
Baron's here also.
Apechain team is doing an incredible job
with the support.
It's great. Like, it's great. Big shout out to you guys, grateful for you.
Tino, anything from your side that you would like to share?
No, I... Sorry for interrupt. Oh yeah, we have... Go for it.
Yeah, okay. Also, I want to thank you guys, uh grateful and you know uh for the kind invitation
uh it was a good hosting and i think i had the most fun one hour in x space thank you again
i'll have to hear that anyways uh is there anything else that we forgot to ask or you want to add or why should people go and be part of your project?
There are many people in the audience who are not yet very familiar with Somnia or the games. So why should people go and become a part of your ecosystem?
and become a part of your ecosystem yeah to be honest the main purpose of entertainment
for sure in the gaming ecosystem uh they should enjoy the blockchain technology uh without
forgetting that and that's it you know there are lots of games we have a competitive arena
arena in our market.
Yeah, I hope we will provide really fun and enjoyable games.
And please believe us and support us tomorrow.
Also, we also announced partnering with OpenSea.
And likely, whenever we were beginning of the space, OpenSea shared a post about us.
And maybe you can give some love for us.
And yeah, and that's it.
Awesome, man.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Good luck with the Mint.
Also, good luck to Bones.
There are many Ape Chain spaces, guys.
So definitely go there before the Mint
because I think that 100% helps.
And yeah, thank you so much, everyone.
I had a blast today.
We went from Ton to Ape Chain to Somnia.
Like, I need to explore everything
because it keeps me away from over-trading
and doing stupid shit.
So basically my goals are to have fun,
buy more other deeds,
enjoy games and stuff,
mint more NFTs on ApeChain
and enjoy this journey.
So that's what I'm doing here.
Of course, spaces are a huge part of that
because I believe spaces are essential for Web3.
Without spaces, it would be really tough.
And other side is coming.
So I really hope for amazing announcement.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe on Thursday,
maybe on other space.
Who knows, right?
Oh my God, Nana, he's like, holy shit, man.
I have everything ready.
I signed the NDA.
I will share the alpha on thursday
so who knows who knows it's gonna be very exciting uh garga tease that he's gonna
dump a lot of information and also he mentioned that he's gonna share info about ape fest right
about the tickets so can't wait can't wait to see how it's going to work. I heard something that if you have a mutant,
you need to find Ape and...
No, you're probably not.
But it's going to be interesting.
I can't wait for ApeFest.
I know 2025 will be amazing for Web3, guys.
I'm really bullish.
Tino, what do you think?
Bro, I'm here for it i'm
definitely here for it i can't wait for eight plus hundred percent i can't wait for the other side
i am the most uh fun part will be started creating on the other side i think that's
that's what we uh i know you're grateful and we keep talking about it every single time
we're super excited about building there,
doing some fun stuff,
some like experiences and just experimenting.
A hundred percent.
And bro,
one more thing.
There is one account,
there is one account in the audience called Ape Church.
You should guys check that account.
Right? Or maybe Ape Church request. and i don't know if you want to
quickly i don't know man maybe maybe yes maybe not but i'll try we'll see but yeah if you check
ape church there is a form you can apply and you will find it it's, we have them here. GMGM, welcome here.
Hey, guys.
It's Coco.
Oh, yeah.
Of course it is.
Of course it is.
What's up, Legend?
What's going on?
I'm just doing the rounds with the account, man.
No, it's so cool to pop in and hear the guys that are working on ApeChain and all the cool stuff.
Dude, I don't think I've ever been more bullish on ape chain than i am like today
there's so much cool stuff going on so many builders so many people that are putting energy
into it so yeah i think we got like a nice fun ride ahead of us so i'm just looking forward to
i'm ready for it you know oh man i'm so ready. Do you want to share anything about Ape Church?
I filled the forum, so I believe you are looking for more people to fill it.
So if you want to share, you know, guys, definitely check the profile.
Go ahead, man.
Yeah, yeah.
So, you know, I honestly wasn't even planning on coming up here.
I know you guys were highlighting some of these other really cool projects and stuff.
So it wasn't my intention, but I'll just give a quick synopsis. So yeah, basically we're working
on a platform. I'm kind of keeping it a little bit mysterious. It's kind of working because a
lot of people are asking me when, when, when, what, what, what, and that's kind of what you want,
right? In crypto, like a little bit of fun speculation is good. I'm not going to keep it
dragging on too long.
But, you know, the account's only been around for like a week and a half or something.
So, yeah, we're opening up early access.
And so far we have over 400 people have signed up, which is amazing. We only have 600 followers on the account.
So if anybody wants to go sign up, we're giving away 5,000 ape.
If it gets to like 1,000, I'll away 5008 if it gets to like a thousand i'll
probably double it because it's just like why not um yeah and just want to get you know as many
people giving feedback it's it's not a contest per se it's more of a selection process where we want
like a diverse uh range of people to actually be using the platform and and giving us real feedback
so uh we thought is a good way to kind of like warm up into it before we announce it
and kind of, you know, let all the details out.
So yeah, so right now there's 10 spots to win, well, not win, but be selected for 500
ape each.
And we're going to try to get all different people from different parts of the ecosystem
to get us some genuine feedback.
And then basically uh it'll
be like a week-long process where we're just gonna kind of like have some some real-time like feedback
from all the community and everything what people think and hopefully find some little bugs and stuff
and then yeah we're gonna we've got a full rollout plan so yeah we're really excited i've been working
on it uh for four months now and uh yeah I'm excited to let people kind of get
a taste of it and check it out
man I
absolutely loved it I can't wait
guys definitely check Ape Church
click on their profile I believe
the pin tweet
is where the form is you can check it out
you can fill it up
you want me to put it in the jumbotron?
for sure do it for sure
I'm going to apply now A the jumbotron for sure for sure do it for sure for
sure okay yeah i'm gonna apply now ape church so look out for the balloons yeah i would love that
yeah anybody yeah anybody's welcome like not just apes like anybody that's in the crowd or whatever
like we're gonna literally go through and just tell a little bit about yourself and um you know
obviously we want to we want people that are like high-fidelity ecosystem participants.
But you don't have to just be an Ape Chain participant.
You can just be a regular person that loves Web3.
So we want to get a diverse range of people.
So that's kind of what we're going for.
And then we're going to announce the selected on the 1st of July.
And then we'll get going.
So yeah, it should be cool.
It's been crazy, bro. Not even 24 hours. We have over
400 signups.
I'm excited. I'm hoping
it goes to 1,000. That would be awesome.
It will. Trust me.
Compared to the Twitter following
is crazy.
The engagement is great.
Your marketing is fantastic.
Oh, thanks, man.
It's super recognizable.
So you can see an Ape Church tweet when you're scrolling by it.
And people are like, yeah, that was kind of the idea, right?
To like kind of just stand out a little bit.
Like, no, great work.
Appreciate that.
Yeah, no.
And like, you know, I know like DGENs love speculation.
So like, that's why we've been mysterious with it.
But we're not going to like keep being mysterious with it.
We'll like spill the beans here in like a a week or a week and a half or something.
Oh, 100%, Coco.
When you are ready, hit me up and let's do a space before you launch
because I love it.
I think that's the power of Ape Chain, right?
To support builders because we know we need builders.
We need use cases.
We need to do stuff
right yeah and it the cool thing is is like you know one of the things that i really want to do
um and i think like all of the projects that are on ape chain one of the things that like i really
want to do is i want to tap into what like the the ecosystem has an appetite for and that's why
we want to do stuff like this is because i have a million good ideas
but that doesn't mean that like everyone else thinks it's a good idea right so it's like yeah
i i firmly believe like real genuine feedback is is probably one of the most powerful things
you can have as a builder you know so that's kind of what we wanted to do so yeah it should be fun
oh i'm gonna be in nyc if anyone wants to meet up I'll be, we can, I'm gonna have it
Like the platform, so like we could even do some like little live demos
If anyone wants to meet up in NYC, we can show you guys
You can have a play with it
Amazing Coco
Guys, by the way
Tino, was that you that we took the elevator in Hong Kong
And we actually met Coco in that elevator
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah And then you gave me your chocolate, bro I love that, man elevator in Hong Kong and we actually met Coco in that elevator. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
And then you gave me your chocolate, bro. I love that, man. Yeah. I do that. I wish I would've
got more because I ate it, but I wish I would've saved it, you know, cause that's like a, you know,
that's like a, that's like a, um, probably be worth a lot of money one day, you know,
but I don't know if the chocolate would still be good by now, but I ate it and I was thinking in my head, I was like, damn, I should have saved that.
Yeah, Coco was the very first ape that I met outside of the people I knew on ApeFest in
Hong Kong in the elevator. And you met him in the elevator later on as well. So that was pretty funny.
Bro, that was a crazy week, huh?
Dude, Ape Fest in Hong Kong was insane, bro.
