shout out to each and every one of you here tonight or today, depending on where you are
around the world. Everyone here has played a pretty important role in making Turbo one of
the most recognizable, lovable and excitable meme coins in all of crypto. So yeah, what a
community Turbo has. H hats off to you all
you are all recognized and appreciated quick introductions i'm matt from what is crypto and
i'll be your host today but i'm joined by two absolute legends uh helping which is black tiger

Awesome. Hello everybody. My name is KT. Definitely super excited to be one of your co-hosts today as we celebrate this awesome, very special occasion, Turbo's birthday. so far and today you know it's all about looking back and seeing how far that we've came and just
sharing some you know exciting updates and of course just having a good time with the community
so um let's get this party started um btm is finally up so yeah i'm here uh welcome turbo
army it's your main man btm one of Turbo community organizers, I'm here to help you with
the Turbo turn up. So two years ago, AI gave birth to a meme coin and somehow it didn't wreck itself.
If we fast forward, Turbo Toad is a full-blown movement, so today we party.
Get ready for chaos, alpha, and big laughs.
Turbo didn't come this far by being boring, and neither did you.
We have not reached the top five yet, so let's continue to grind it out.
Awesome. Well said, legends. Thank you so much. Absolute pleasure having you both here. So yeah, tonight we've got so much to get through. So we're going
to run tonight's spaces in three parts. Part one, we're going to be talking to some of the amazing
partners that Turbo has. Part two, we're going to be talking to some of the exchanges which have
been kind enough to come up and talk about it and they are exchanges that have Turbo listed on their exchange and in part three we're going to involve like
opening up the floor to some of the creators, influencers and some of the general community
members who've showed their love and support for Turbo over the last two years. So yeah we've got
a pretty tight schedule but before we dive in I want to take a second to welcome a pretty special
Honestly, this is such a privilege.
This is someone that needs absolutely no introduction to the Turbo community.
This is the man that really made all of this possible.
The man that, along with the help of ChatGPT, created the initial concept for the toad that we all love and know today, Turbo.
So yeah, if you are up here please welcome today ret mankind
and i'm just looking now and i think someone needs to approve ritz uh speaking so i'm here
i'm here i'm here awesome cheers legend thanks so much for joining us
no my pleasure thanks for uh hosting this and putting us putting it on definitely a time to
celebrate amazing that we've come this far yeah absolutely could not agree more i'm doing absolutely
great and such a pleasure having you tonight i know how pumped all of the turbo community members
are going to be say are going to be i see a lot of reactions in the comment section so yeah super
great to have you here i know the community wants to know a bunch of stuff, but yeah, let's start it off. Maybe give
us a quick reflection on how the whole experience has been for you. Talk us through, yeah, the last
two years and not only how it started, but how you feel about Turbo now and the community that
Turbo has. Oh, it's amazing. I had a quick look back back and asked ChatGPT now that it has a bit of a memory based in ChatGPT.
It can more easily go back and tell you things about the history.
But just in general, like, just, you know, I don't know who's listening.
I'm assuming they know a bit about Turbo, but I will just start by maybe a bit of a scripted overview of where we've come because I think that's helpful.
So two years ago, we started this seemingly impossible mission with just $ bucks and a little bit of hope.
It was I and those people around me were just fueled with a bit of curiosity,
creativity, and a touch of meme magic that came from ChatGPT.
That humble beginning has now exploded into what we know as TurboToken.
has now exploded into what we know as TurboToken.
It's now a top 300 project on CoinGecko,
I think even above 200 at the moment,
a vibrant community, over 50,000 holders.
And what we've done is fulfilled that original dream
or prophecy that this was at all possible. So this journey wasn't
simply about creating cryptocurrency. It's about creating hope and resilience and a community
that's built on grit and humor and a shared ambition. What sets Turbo apart is each of you
guys here. There's the early believers, there's the meme creators,
there's the tireless shillers, there's everyone who spreads the gospel of Turbo far and wide.
That's what makes it. So as we'll celebrate today, let's remember that Turbo Token is not just
numbers on a screen, it's a testament to what's possible when people unite behind an idea and refuse to let go.
We've built more than a coin, in my opinion.
We've created like a legacy already.
I think Turbo's potential really remains limitless.
And I look forward to, and I hope others do,
that we continue to experiment and innovate
And let's keep shaping this future together.
It just comes one meme at a time, one holder at a time,
And I'd just like to thank all of you for being part of Turbo
and making it what it is today.
And here's to many more anniversaries to come.
We do love hearing from you always.
I want to know a lot about what you're excited about with Turbo at the moment.
Like I know you've just landed a big deal, so a book deal, I should say.
So massive congratulations on that.
What are you really working on or looking forward to in the Turbo ecosystem?
What have you got coming up?
Tell us a bit about that if you don't mind.
So there's, yeah, there's lots of things that people already know about. The one main thing I had been working on and I'm still working on is the children's picture book, an illustrative children's book.
Last year, looking into avenues on how to expand Turbo, because it's fairly well known in crypto still not everyone knows it in the world
of crypto but if we can branch out into you know what we like to call the real world
and get some exposure there I think it's a real chance to really start to push that brand exposure. So last year I talked to, I went and talked to toy manufacturers,
film producers, animation studios, branding studios,
just all types of people that related to sort of marketing
or ways of getting the name out there and the character or the idea and just talking to them
about what they think would be a good idea and what would work for them. And the one hurtling
block I came against each time was that they're in this world, we're used to sort of this world
of fast moving, instant sort of gratification.
We're always looking at the screen.
But in this other world, they're not fast.
They're very slow-moving, and they're still stuck in a lot of old ways.
And some of those old ways is they actually, even though the first day I made this open source, public domain, you can use the logo, the image that was generated, the idea of the token, it's all decentralized.
And I think that is a huge testament to why it helped it explode to begin with. People can confidently go and take some of the assets
and do whatever they like with them and start their own whatever.
Exchangers can happily take it on knowing that there's no company behind it.
There's no centralized team.
It's more like the ethos of how Bitcoin started than
many other projects that have popped up. So that's been one of the great foundation
pillars that has helped. But that's actually been a sticking point for a lot of
the traditional media people. Time and time again, they told me they wanted exclusive IP
They wanted to talk directly to one person or a company
that there is something they could buy and they could own themselves
and have a piece of some sort of pie.
It didn't work for them to have sort of this decentralized world.
So knowing that, after I talked to many different people,
that is part of the catalyst, which made me, they said anything.
They said like a book or an animated series or something
that can be published and owned by like me personally.
So then I was like, okay, I'll need to do something separate
And so I spent all this time working it out.
And so the simplest, most funnest thing I thought
in an authentic way was the children's book.
So it's related to Turbo, but it's not about crypto. It's not about the token.
And it's inspired by the Toad character. So the name will still be up there. It's called
Turbo Toad Never Gives Up. The book title is called that. And I have now secured a publisher that distributes in the US and Australia.
And that book will be coming out later this year.
It's in the process still.
And, yeah, I'll be starting to look at marketing ideas in the next few months.
of how we get it maybe into sort of influencers' hands
and how to get bookstores interested in putting it on the shelves,
So that is the first step.
And once I can establish that, then I can go back
to these toy manufacturers, these animation studios, these bigger media companies
with something that they can then license
and possibly take it into a bigger arena
than I could personally do.
So that's one of the interesting things
Yeah. So that's one of the interesting things I've got going on. Yeah, and there's a couple of other things.
One I will mention that I haven't mentioned yet, and so I think I might post about it a bit later this week, is something that ChatGPT did mention to me very early on, maybe even two years ago, that I've had an on and off relationship with.
And I eventually I said I wouldn't do it late last year.
I sort of took it off the table at too much work because I was doing other things.
But now that I've got lots of other jigsaw pieces in place and things have fallen into place i had a bit of extra time
um and i've decided i put my head down i just started doing it for fun and it's a um a a profile
picture collection it's it'll be a turbo toad and the character will be inspired by the character
from the book i've made it won't be the original Toad, but they're all, you know,
They're all Turbo Toads or all Yellow Toads.
So I'll be doing a Turbo Toad collection by me,
and I'll be starting to sort of ask some questions
on how best to release this,
what are best practices and how many should we have,
and just start sort of building in public.
Now I've been building in stealth a little bit,
but I sort of am a fan of trying to make social media social again
because I've noticed it's just shouting at me a lot.
Some people may have noticed I've been having a digital detox
Sometimes I go on these just to cleanse again and then I come back
so I can have some clarity.
But, yeah, I remember the good old days when you could jump
on Twitter and have a conversation and it was a bit more social.
So I like putting out polls and trying to have sort of some sort
So I'll see what the response is to this,
but I've already done quite a lot and I'll be giving a few teases
and sneak peeks into what that might look like this week.
Yeah, that is super exciting.
That's a little bit of balfa here.
See if it's tonight. Are you looking to launch that at potentially like an nft type collection or is that something
you're still not 100 sure on at this stage yeah it'll be a an nft digital collectible um style
uh collection yep yeah that is that is super super damn. So much going on, books, toys, media.
Really just quickly, when did it kind of hit home for you
that this is a big deal, like that Turbo isn't just a small
little irrelevant main point?
When did it really hit home that this is actually a pretty big thing?
I think actually quite early on, keeps it's a roller coaster and I'm sure everyone that watches
the screens knows it's a roller coaster but for me the first month I sort of knew this was
something else it was out of my hands in the first few weeks. And so I knew that it relied on other people adopting it.
And when I saw that they did within the first few weeks,
I was like, this is something.
This is something extra that is good.
Because when you, you know, I've got a background
as an artist and designer.
And when you put any work out there as an
as an artist you put your own effort into it but once you show it to someone or put it in a gallery
or put it out you publish the website or whatever once it's out in the public it really no longer
belongs to you and it's up to interpretation of the viewer you know what what they think the artwork means
to them and whatever you know if you're listening to a song or you're looking at at a film whatever
it means to you as the viewer is how you adopt it and how you see the artwork and and that's how you
sort of move through the world and it gets you know if you like it and you pass it on to someone else and say,
look at this, I think this is interesting.
And that is what was happening and that is how I knew
that there was something happening that was beyond me.
And that is what I get to watch as I've launched.
You know, I get to see the evolution of it and see it chop
and change and grow and, you know, do all types of
meandering things, I would never been able to plan for it. And loving, loving watching what
people do with it. All I wanted to get out of it was to learn something. I've been in crypto since
2013, early to Bitcoin. And I've always wanted to launch a
token, but had no particular skills in development to be able to do it. So luckily, when AI ChatGPT
came along, it gave me an opportunity. But I've learned so much since launching it that even I didn't know, you know,
some of the things that can happen and what, yeah,
there's just a plethora of things I just didn't know.
I won't go into every single thing.
But two years is a long time in crypto,
but it's also just a blip on the radar.
So, yeah, there's still more to learn
and it's still an interesting project to me
and I still like experimenting.
So I will keep experimenting and pushing for as long as I can.
Thank you so much for coming up.
I know that definitely excites me and I'll personally be adding one of those NFTs and adding a book as soon as they are released.
Yeah, just once again, thanks so much for joining us today, Rhett. It's been such a privilege.
Lastly, before you go, do you have any final words for the Turbo community?
I don't actually have any final words prepared,
but I am in awe of every development I see happen.
And I'm watching and with you sort of with the ups and downs
I did for my, I've been in crypto quite a while and early this year was the very
first time i decided to try and take a break um i did my first digital detox and it was the first
time in over a decade that i didn't look at the charts um so there is life outside of the screens um but the you know watching
just you know you guys make with the memes you make me laugh i like watching them um
my feed is now totally skewed to turbo it's sort of uh uh it, it's just full of Turbo memes and joy and fun and replies.
So it's totally skewed towards that.
I don't know if I want to cleanse that or get a bit more perspective because I'm enjoying it.
But, you know, it's, I'm surprised, well, not surprised, but I know there's other projects happening in the world in crypto
and I used to be all over those things,
but I'm happy to be engrossed and to see the developments
And thank you to you for hosting this and for, you know,
for being part of the community as well.
And that sort of goes for each each person
no the the pleasure is all mine and i'm sure i speak for btm and kt as well it is generally
such an honor to have you up here today and all of the turbo community we wish you nothing but
success in all of your endeavors and yeah just everything you got moving forward so
yeah thanks so much for coming on so drop. Drop me down and I'll keep listening.
Well, yeah, that's going to be a pretty tough act to follow.
Thanks so much for coming on tonight.
Lucky that Turbo is a project that has a fair bit of depth.
It's got so much cooking under its hood. Yeah,
so much exciting stuff going down. Next up, we're going to hear from a bunch of the partners. Now,
these are partners that have partnered with Turbo and are making some pretty cool stuff
in the space. So first up, we have Aurora. Are you here with us tonight, Aurora?
with this tonight, Aurora?
We might come back to you.
After Aurora, let's see who we've got down here.
I can see you coming up LCX. So yeah, we'll jump straight into LCX. I can see you, yeah, I can see you coming up LCX.
So, yeah, we'll jump straight to LCX.
Hey, what's going on, guys?
It's, yeah, it's Sam from LCX here.
And, yeah, thanks so much for having us on Spaces.
It's crazy, you know, happy anniversary.
And, yeah, it's crazy it's been two years. I um i think we listed you guys back in october last
year and yeah it's been amazing to see the the growth you know this year you guys have done so
much and you've got i mean i'm not just saying it but you know you've got just one of the best
meme games in the space i mean in terms of the visuals you guys drop on the timeline they're
always so crisp and you've made us some sort of personalized lcx graphics and we're always kind
of super hyped about that and um and then, shout out to the Turbo community as well.
I mean, whenever we've done posts about Turbo,
you know, the community have shown up in the comments
and dropping memes, and it's always really good vibes.
So it's just, yeah, it's just awesome to see everything
you guys have built, and yeah, happy anniversary.
Yeah, just quickly, so LCX, definitely one of the most
like confluence forward exchanges, high in regulation. You're based in Lichtenstein,
is that correct? That's right. Yeah, no, headquarters are in Lichtenstein. So just
on the border of Switzerland. Yeah, awesome. Just quickly, how does LCX Banish balance its strong regulatory foundation
with fast-moving kind of crypto-paced things,
such as the meme coin movement that we've got going on with meme coins,
Like, how do you kind of figure out what is okay and what is not?
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, so yeah, our headquarters there in
Lichtenstein, which is on the border of Switzerland. And yeah, I mean, it's become sort of one of the
key hubs for crypto, you know, largely because of its regulatory environment. It has the Lichtenstein
Blockchain Act. And it's, yeah, you know, offering kind of a secure environment for companies to
operate and do their business.
So yeah, that's been a focus for us since day one really,
just making sure we provide a regulated and secure platform for our users.
And we list a bunch of different tokens.
We've got RWAs and AI and gaming, but we've made this strong move into meme coins.
And yeah, it's not always something people think of together. and AI and gaming, but we've made this strong move into meme coins.
And, yeah, it's not always something people think of together,
the kind of wild, often, you know, wild meme coin culture and the more serious regulation side of things.
But I think, yeah, it's really important to consider security,
and particularly in meme coins.
I mean, you know, as fun as the space is,
it can sometimes be a bit of a wild west.
And, you know, we saw it earlier this year with all the kind of pumped up fun madness. And so,
yeah, we just want to, you know, make sure that we kind of give people the ability to
trade their favorite meme coins, but do so in a safe and secure environment. And,
you know, also it's really important for us as well to make sure that traders are kind of getting access to the best quality projects.
You know, this has been a really big focus for us, which is how are we picking listings, making sure we're kind of creating the best projects, especially in the meme coin space.
And so that's, yeah, that's why we got behind Turbo, you know, because your team, you've always been super transparent.
You're always grinding, you know know it's like constantly building and um yeah just seeing where you guys have come over
the past year and the ecosystem kind of growing around the project and how engaged you've been
with the community and um you know we had to work with you guys so it's um so yeah for us you know
the goal is just give people access to you know the best mean coin projects and uh provide a kind
of secure and regulated platform for them to um to trade on and you know that's what we've uh been building at lcx
awesome thank you so much yeah i agree how can you not absolutely love the toad i think we've
got a question from btm as well for yourself uh hello uh lcx what your exchange 3.0 rollout and tokenization vision for 2030, LCX is planning for the future for the digital finance. Do you see a long-term place for meme-based projects like Turbo within the vision and what role do narratives and community play in sharing that future?
Hey, thanks. Yeah, absolutely. So we announced our roadmap at Paris Blockchain Week earlier this month.
And yeah, this is our Vision 2030 roadmap. So it's kind of, we've got the Exchange v3 coming.
So it's kind of a redesigned UI and we're going to have enhanced security and advanced tools and focused on tokenizations.
We're launching new utility tokens. We've got LCX Gold, Silver and Platinum.
And we're also focused on leadership, so kind of shaping regulatory dialogues across the globe and expanding into new markets.
But no, I think we see meme coins playing a massive role for us in the
future. And I think, you know, I mean, whatever you think of meme coin culture, you know, some
people, it's, you know, they're not about it and some people love it. But I think you can't deny,
you know, that meme coins have some of the strongest communities in the space, you know,
and I think these different sort of mascots and messages that people rally around and they're
often, you you know the most
fun communities to hang out in um you can't kind of beat meme coins when it comes to the timeline
you know i think the creativity you see in these projects um you know whenever i'm scrolling
through x if i come across a turbo post i mean it immediately stands out and it's you know it's
always really enjoyable to see and um and then i think you know if you've got project like turbo
where it's got this awesome meme game but but it's also, you know, the real builders and developers behind
the project and they're launching exciting products and, you know, providing utility to the
community. I think it's kind of the ultimate, you know, crypto project. So, yeah, we think,
you know, meme coins are here to stay. We love the communities building around these projects and,
you know, just all the kind of good vibes and creativity they bring to the space.
So, yeah, LCX is here for it and we're going to continue to grow and support MemeCoin culture.
And, yeah, we look forward to what's ahead.
So we definitely look forward to continuing the partnership with LCX.
I guess we're going back to is HTX here?
No, if HTX isn't here, that is no worries at all.
We'll go back to our partners after talking to our exchanges.
So is Aurora here? If not, we might bump over to open format after talking to our exchanges so is aurora here if not we might
bump over to open format but last call out for aurora uh aurora i do see you here yes yes can
you hear me yeah yeah awesome hearing you loud and clear legend so just quickly can you give us a
quick intro into what aurora is and yeah what are you building? Yes, super cool. So basically what we've been doing for the past six months
is we've been focusing on launching EVM chains
It's what we did something like four months ago for Turbo,
which allowed basically the Turbo community
to have a playground on where to expand their creative mind by creating
dApps, launching tokens, etc. And also something that we've did is we've built something that's
quite unique called Near Intent, which is basically offers similar experience as a centralized exchange but is fully decentralized and on top
of this product we've launched for the turbo community something called turbo swap which
allows anyone to exchange their turbo token and most of the other token from other chains
directly through their favorite turbo exchange.
Thank you so much for coming up.
I've got a couple more questions.
I think he's got another question to throw at you.
What drew you to Turbo and how does this partnership fit into Aurora's broader ecosystem?
So basically what was happening was in Q4 last year the main narrative was around AI MemeCoin
and we had a product which allows people to launch chains and we we identified that AI meme coin was the hottest trend
in the market at this moment.
And so we wanted to work with the best AI meme coin community.
So naturally we came across Turbo.
We met with some of the Turbo community members.
And by seeing how devoted they were
in pushing their communities, Turbo brand forward, we were super happy to work with them.
Awesome. Awesome. It's good to see you, Aurora.
I have another question for you.
So just as someone who has watched both serious infrastructure
projects and just the meme tokens evolve, where do you see the intersection of culture
and the tech headed in the coming years? So I think in traditional businesses, we've
already seen a successful company starting first with building up a
culture, a community, and then deciding to launch a product.
And it's exactly from, from what I've seen.
And by talking to the team, what Turbo is doing, they focused on building a
community, people around the same idea.
And from there, they get demand from their community.
It could be a chain, it could be different things.
And they adapt and reach out to the right partner.
So it seems that companies are now not focusing on directly providing product,
but providing a space where people can find what they really need
and can gather around and discuss about what kind of product they need,
what kind of improvement, what kind of partnership they need.
Well, thank you so much for just sharing the vision with us.
It is definitely incredible to see how Aurora is bridging culture and technology.
So next up, let's keep the momentum going with another strong partner of Turbo's community.
I see an open format. Can we have open format step up as a speaker?
Yeah, it's Dan from open format.
Yeah, so open format, I've got a couple of questions for you.
We're going to kick it off with initially.
So yeah, for those unfamiliar, pretty much talk to us about what Open Format is.
How does it empower the creators in Web3?
Yeah, so we basically saw that there was a few problems in Web3 communities and communities in general, really.
Number one being that they can be super noisy,
which is great, especially in Turbo's case
with literally like hundreds of messages a day.
But what that does mean is that it can be quite hard
to know what's going on as a community member.
Number two being that community members
add a ton of really awesome value
and often in like many different communities
don't get acknowledged for it.
And then number three being that communities don't get acknowledged for it and then number
three being that communities want to get their community members involved with all like the
awesome things they're doing but they don't really know the the skills and how to best involve them
so yeah there's kind of like these different problems so to help solve this we basically
built a community co-pilot which is essentially an AI agent that is always listening, always learning,
surfacing all these awesome contributions
from the community and rewarding it in real time
across Discord and Telegram.
So we've built all of this
and it's all available on TurboChain,
allows any creators to get set up,
create a token in like literally a couple of clicks.
Okay. And another question for you guys.
We've been working closely with Turbo.
What drew you to the project and how has this partnership unfolded so far and what's coming next?
Yeah. So I guess what really drew us to Turbo is that most of the other communities we've worked with have been, like, to some degree centralized.
But the fact that Turbo has such an unbelievable community, like, literally the best in Web3 and is fully decentralized, that was, like, really interesting based on what we're building.
So that's kind of what got us interested and then a few months ago we launched our product on turbochain and we ran a workshop
which was really fun we had loads of people from the turbo community building with us on
turbochain during the live stream it was like really awesome then in terms of what was what's
next so hopefully we'll add our be adding our community co-pilot
to the Turbo Discord and Telegram
so that anyone can chat to it,
find out about what's happening in the community.
And then also just helping more people
and making that process super easy.
And hopefully then people build communities
So yeah, really excited to see what happens there.
That's great. that's great that's great um so if you if you had um unlimited time with the turbo community
um what's something that's wild or experimental that you love to help them build
yeah good question so i guess we're kind of already working towards this vision which is
to give turbo and then any communities built on Turbo
to essentially an AI brain, I guess you could call it,
which, yeah, what I mean by that is that there would be an AI agent
which understands Turbo's goals, its history,
basically everything there is to know about the project
and community across all the different channels.
And then it will proactively kind of help the community grow and
improve so for example one thing it might do would be to understand the skills of all the different
people in the turbo community and they'd be able to chat to it and see how they're going to add
their unique value so it could be you know a unique sort of marketing thing it could be building
a project on top of turbo chain it could be running an event all these different things
bringing in the community's unique skills and then potentially they'd be rewarded or kind of a project on top of TurboChain, it could be running an event, all these different things,
bringing in the community's unique skills, and then potentially they'd be rewarded or kind of,
yeah, rewarded for doing these different things. So yeah, I guess if we had a little bit of time, and we're already working on this, so exciting things coming. Yeah, an AI brain for Turbo,
which is at the centre of the community community basically helped turbo become what we all wanted
to be uh which yeah pretty wild but we're we're working towards it so yeah quite exciting love it
love it love that energy love the creativity um it's definitely inspiring just to think about all
the possibilities ahead at turbo chain for the win guys um let's just uh let's see next we'll dive into the world of
building and the meme uh just the meme ecosystem uh let's invite our next guest i see three look
up can we have them step up to the to the stage hey yeah what's up what's up guys can you hear me
hey legend yeah hearing you absolutely loud and clear.
So yeah, just taking it away quickly, give us a bit of an intro.
Like what is 3LOOK for those that don't know?
And yeah, what makes 3LOOK different?
Yeah, first off, I'm Danny and massive congrats to the entire Turbo community
and everyone who's been a part of this journey.
What you guys have built with your community is pretty incredible and I think it's a real proof
that sometimes you do not need things like huge marketing budgets or a centralized push to create something really powerful and meaningful in the space.
So when it comes to 3LOOK, we're building what we call a social-fying meme ecosystem.
When I say meme, I mean content, not a meme coin in that case.
But to be clearer, let me split it into what's happening now and what's coming next.
So as of now, 3LOOK is a platform where anyone can easily create visuals using ready-to-go templates with brand assets and community packs. various projects, including Turbo, that you can find on Turbo's website,
where you can create GIFs and all kinds of stuff
with Turbo assets effortlessly.
So communities can generate hundreds of viral memes
in just a few clicks, making it super easy
to spread their message without needing
any design skills or whatever.
And very soon, we're introducing user profiles
and a special meme score on our platform.
And it's, it will be a way for users to build
like their meme reputation, show their meme skills
and eventually unlock new opportunities with us.
It's, and it's going to be a fun way to recognize real creators,
not just by likes or views, but their creativity and impact.
So we're super happy that we're part of Turbo's journey
and that we're taking part in the growth of the community
and helping them spread the word via content.
You worked with Turbo in some very creative ways.
Could you share what the collaboration looked like
and what stood out to you the most.
Yeah, I'd say working with Turbo has been one of the most natural things
and fun collaborations for us.
From day one, like the energy of the community,
because it's fully community-driven, I would say chaotic in the best way, and meme first,
and that is something that really fits what 3look is all about.
So what we did is created a branded Turbo meme library on 3look,
and now it's available on Turbo's website,
Now it's available on Turbo's website,
giving the community a toolkit to create memes
and gifs instantly with Turbo assets.
And it was all about putting the creativity
in the community's hands and letting them evolve naturally.
So for us, it was a perfect example of how, especially in Web3, the community isn't just
the audience, they are the brand.
So our collab was about giving Turbo's communities more tools to build something way bigger than
Yeah, so to let the Turbo community be more creative and spread the word via content easily.
What advice would you give other projects that are looking just
to build a deeper aesthetic or a cultural resonance like Turbo has?
Yeah, it's a pretty tough question, but I think if we take Turbo's example,
it's important not to treat your community like an audience and treat them like your co-creators.
That's what is perfectly done by tour by i think
um because you guys didn't try to control the culture too tightly um you built that strong
funny vibe inside the community and welcome every welcome to everyone and let the community take it and run with it. So I'd say if you want that cultural resonance, you need to make this community participation easy and give your people, give your crowd
all the tools to impact your project and the space to share things and celebrate it all together as we're doing here now.
So that's what I would say.
All right. Appreciate those insights. It's definitely, you know, clear how intentional and the culture building,
it can really set projects apart from each other.
So, again, thank you for being here.
Up next, let's hear from Wagme Hub, strong innovator in Web3.
Happy birthday, Quantum Leap Turbo.
How's everybody doing? Good, brother. glad that glad to have you up man yeah happy birthday turbo indeed
wag me hub what's up what's it all about pretty much yes started away by telling us how do you
contribute to the space also thanks for wishing us a happy birthday we all appreciate it yeah man
for sure for sure and appreciate you guys having us here i mean if so if you guys don't read if people are the listening audience like whether you're
here now or you're listening back you don't resonate with this story man like 69 bucks and
a gpt subscription like come on like go read the original turbo thread like that was one of the
craziest things that i have ever read in my life and that's wild to me that it's been already
two years but um yeah i mean congrats on everything you guys have done but uh who wag me hub is um
guys we are the like i mean for lack of a better term we're the meme coin hub right like so we're
all about like post-launch supporting all these different meme coin communities from staking copy
trading we want to gamify this entire experience for
different meme coin communities. We want to help fuel their engagement across obviously like all
these different chains. But you might have also heard us like running some insane spaces with
all these different like some of the top meme coin communities, including Turbo and some of
these others. So we're trying to contribute to this meme coin space because this meta is not going
anywhere, right? Like there's ups and downs out here. But I think like for us, we want to help
foster like, like you just heard the previous speaker say, right? You treat your users like
your co-creators, right? Helping foster and really champion kind of like the creativity, right? Like
you're, you're able to come to Wagmehub and you're able to obviously like participate in guilds
and team up with other people.
Like we've gamified this whole experience
and now we're doing a little AI sprinkle
on top of everything as well, right?
We started with a gem finder
and now we're actually gonna be rolling out
something really, really, really dope
that I can't really say too, too much about,
but I'll tease it out like just enough
where I promise you, like you're gonna to start seeing real users being rewarded with real
So yeah, if you guys don't know about us, I mean, you're either living under a rock,
you haven't heard our spaces.
So come on, come get involved.
But yeah, man, Turbo, I appreciate you guys obviously having us here, man.
You seem to be fully energized
A couple cups of coffee, bro.
A couple cups of coffee and you're good to go.
Definitely. Glad you bring the energy.
You helped us onboard a lot lot of projects what made turbo stand
out to you i mean i think i that's the first thing like for us it was 69 bucks the 69 dollar budget
obviously immediately caught us but how it caught on and i think people really don't like put enough
respect at the end of the day on turbo being like the real, like the genuinely first, like AI like generated meme coin when you really think about it.
and I think what you guys did and,
was managed to be able to do really well was really galvanize and,
and capture like a real community at the end of the day.
but there's simplicity in a lot of this stuff, right? Like, be fair to your community, understand what it is that your community
actually wants. And then I think that essentially it reflects back, right? So for us, that was one
of the biggest things that stood out. I mean, you guys literally took this entire market by storm
two years ago. So for us, the way you guys came up,
we thought it was just a perfect and really like natural fit. So we were like, listen,
like we're seeing what Turbo is doing. People are now trying to emulate what Turbo is doing.
And we're like, how do we, essentially, how can we like best compliment what you guys got going on?
And it just seemed like natural synergy for us to be able to partner up with you guys and help you guys like really kind of push this thing forward.
So we're glad that we did it, man.
And also Turbo and Wagme Hub, I mean, we're both like champions for decentralized, you
know, community movements.
So just what lessons have you learned about scaling community driven efforts?
It's an interesting question, right? So when you think about like scaling community efforts,
what does that actually mean, right? Because you can scale something, but you lose
a lot of, I guess, this decentralized right? When you start scaling, right? Because
that's when you start, you start getting VC money and all these other things. And it's like, that's,
it's almost like the sellout. And that's not genuinely what we want to do, right? So when
you can scale without obviously losing that component, that means you're building with and
not for the, I mean, you're building for the community, excuse me, not for the community,
but with the community at the end of the day.
And I think that's a really, really big deal, right?
Like we want to hear from our communities and what they want, right?
Because in the Web2 world, you see a lot of people sit around in the boardrooms and they think that they know what the market wants.
You have to talk to community members and genuinely like understand what it is that these people want.
And that's what we really started doing with the hyper focus now with especially what we're going to be releasing coming up as well.
Like demand, like essentially what is your community demanding and like how can we help ultimately build that?
And that's what we want, right?
Like so we want to hear from the Turbo community along with every other meme coin community.
What are the chains that you guys like, right?
Like what are some of the tools?
Is the gamification working?
So I think that like the growth that Turbo saw for us
is kind of the fuel to be like,
okay, I think we got this right.
I think we're going to have to double down
And that's essentially kind of what we're focused on.
So for us, you guys have helped definitely like teach us
or rather we took some really valuable lessons
with how Turbo scaled to be able to now apply that to all the other ones. So I guess in a way,
we kind of owe you a thank you, like a big one. So we appreciate it.
No, thank you. Thank you. Awesome perspective. Definitely, especially on building,
you know, thriving decentralized communities. Thank you for the energy, for the love, and for being here. Next, just let's see,
we're excited to welcome Orange. I see Orange on the stage. They're doing a lot of also amazing
work with supporting the Web3 ecosystem. Hey, how you doing? Thanks for having us. Happy birthday.
Thank you very much. Absolute pleasure is ours to have you on stage. Yeah, let's take it away by starting. Just, yeah, tell us a bit about Orange Web. How is your platform contributing to Web3 in general?
create a bunch of tools and we basically give creators those tools in order to
build and monetize things like games, interactive virtual worlds, apps, um,
and all without needing to be a full stack developer.
So we're really focused on sort of lowering those barriers to entry in web
three by, you know, combining no code tools and, you know, of course, uh, the
use of AI, um, and then linking that with, you know, things like tokenized
ownership, uh, and incentives to incentives to help those creators monetize.
So the next question would be, how has your collaboration with Turbo impacted both projects?
What synergies have you found in working together?
Well, I think as a platform, we're built to support creators. And I think there's a real
link with Turbo and Orange because we align, because we're both built around community and
the creative energy. A couple of the speakers have already spoke about the awesome creative
energy and the memes and the stuff coming out of Turbo, and we're all about supporting creators.
We've recently launched a few things.
We launched a Turbo game on our Orange Games platform called Turbo Sling, and that was to drive some cross-community engagement.
It went really well, and then we're building upon that now.
We're putting together as part of our Orange Worlds, which is our no-code metaverse.
as part of our Orange Worlds, which is our no-code metaverse.
We're building a Turbo community hangout space
to create some more areas for the Orange community
and the Turbo community to get together
and do some cool stuff in virtual worlds.
And we're looking forward to continuing and sort of building
and sharing cool stuff between us and the Turbo community.
Awesome, awesome. That's really exciting.
So the next question would just be what do you think is the next big milestone for orange web we're kind of in the middle of it we're right in the middle
of our orange vibe jam hackathon so we have a vibe jam hackathon going on at the moment
um we're onboarding a bunch of new creators and looking to showcase, you know, what vibe coding could really do.
Ultimately we're looking to see thousands of, you know,
virtual worlds, apps, games, experiments launched on orange,
and then sort of integrating in our ecosystem and really growing that and
continue to grow the community of amazing creators that we have. So yeah,
looking, looking forward to the submission on the orange Vibe Jam submissions are on the 15th.
And then we'll be sharing a lot of info
about the cool projects and what the creators have built.
I really appreciate having you up.
We cannot wait to look and see what's ahead for Orange Web,
all of these worlds and things that you guys are creating.
It's going to be awesome.
Let's also shift gears to another gaming world
I see that you guys are up here.
So these guys are pioneers with Web3 and gaming as well.
And yeah, thanks for having us.
I just wanna say happy new anniversary to the
turbo and its community i mean two years of just uh speeding through crypto world with like uh
the meme powers you guys have and all the unstoppable vibes i mean you know y'all are
legends and uh yeah we are very glad to uh to be here uh to have turbo in embodied in katana you know game and uh yeah we are looking
forward to the folks that are enjoying that uh like turbo energy that the character is going to bring
cheers legend thanks so much for joining us we love to hear that as the turbo community
let's start it out by yeah maybe just introduce Katana Inu and yeah,
what makes Katana Inu kind of stand out
as different in the gaming space?
So Katana Inu, basically what we are cooking up
is a later earned battle royale PC game
with absolutely awesome graphics,
fast paced combat and an open world area where you will be able to battle it out with, I think it's 60 players right now.
They will just be able to throw it down and battle it out.
Yeah, it will be a free-to-play game, so anyone will be able to jump in.
token gata that will be used
for stuff like buying in-game cosmetics,
entering tournaments, and things
And yeah, I think the main
thing about Katana Inu is just like
into the game, basically, like
yeah, we love teaming up with cool projects
prime example of how we bring projects in
so, you know, the meme energy
and the community behind the Turbo
just simply fits our game
and, you know, all the chaotic battles
that might be in the game
want to really make a big wild party where every project can
just be, you know, have their cool character
and just battle it out with everyone.
What role do you see Turbo playing
do you see Turbo playing in the broader meme coin in gaming space?
in the broader meme coin in gaming space?
I mean, currently, like, for what we have in Katana Inu,
I think it's just going to bring a lot of people in
because just, like, the sheer energy it brings.
We just posted today, like, a little montage of the turbo character in-game and like
it's like cinematics that we made for the turbo character and i don't know just like me looking
at that video makes me want to just hop into the game and play it out so i think uh i don't know if
i kind of missed the question there but yeah you, I really like what you guys are doing with the memes and stuff.
So we at Katana Inu are really into memes as well, and we want to kind of bring them out on like different characters.
having in-game cosmetics that are relatable to some of the iconic meme images that we have on the internet.
But yeah, including everyone is our goal, and hopefully we'll make it happen.
And how do you see the future of on-chain gaming evolving?
And what kind of role do you think that Katana Inu will play in that kind of landscape?
Good question. I mean, right now, Web3 games can feel like, you know, maybe crypto nerds clubs with like wallets, gas fees and all that jazz.
But I kind of think that soon, you know, games will kind of hide the blockchain stuff in the background.
So, you know, think like seamless loggings, no gas fees, you know, and like a free-to-play model
that pulls in the regular games.
Like today we have, there's, I would say,
oversaturation of the games, you know.
So maybe if you like make a game that just feels like a normal game,
that doesn't feel like a crypto game,
that you don't have to go through all these assholes,
it's going to mean really a lot.
And I mean, maybe I would like to mention tournaments and like rewards because I see that, you know,
on-chain games are probably going to blow up with the competitive scenes.
I'm just thinking like tournaments and the prizes that are involved in this.
I mean, players can nowadays probably earn a living in Web 2 gaming,
but I think Web 3 is going to expand that reach
to more users and more players around the world.
Incredible vision for the future,
especially for on-chain gaming.
So just thank you for sharing all that with us.
Can't wait to see more of these awesome battles, man.
Those are definitely fun and elite.
Turbo can't wait to battle more.
Kizuna is up here, please.
So this is another project that's focused on pushing, you know,
the crypto culture forward.
So glad to have you guys up.
GM, Toad. toads good morning morning morning
good morning good morning you're dead yeah let's kick it off just talk to us a little bit about
kazuna yeah what does kazuna kind of aim to achieve in the crypto space legend
um it kind of aims to achieve giving access to decentralized AI to everybody.
So Kizuna was built on decentralized AI and has its own bot that gives access to users.
What attracted you to work with Turbo and what values do you see in the collaboration
moving forward? you there seems to be i think you're muted if you're talking
I think you might be muted, mate.
Yeah, damn, unfortunately, I don't know.
I think Kizuna might be having a little bit of audio difficulty.
We'll give you another couple of seconds if you can unmute yourself.
If not, mate, we might have to move on, which is unfortunate.
There's such an exciting project that we are partnering with.
And, yeah, absolutely love Kizuna. So
yeah, last shout out. Are you still there Kizuna?
Dan, no worries at all. Well, we will roll on to the next one.
So yeah, because it's super exciting partnership that we
have with them. Next up, we've got X-Hype. Is X-Hype there?
No, I think there might be a little bit of technical difficulties going around.
I don't think X-Hype is here, unfortunately, either.
We missed you guys earlier.
HDX, no, I don't think they're up either.
Well, if either Kizuna or HTX kind of, yeah,
if you guys get your audio sorted,
you're more than welcome to come up at any stage.
Yeah, I think, yeah, we might roll it onto the next section.
All righty. Just quickly, Kizuna, I can see you there, mate.
I'll give you our last chance.
All good. all righty running it up to the next section do we have any of the influences here tonight we've
got a couple of big names uh just trying to see down in the crowd uh any of them here we might um
trying to see down in the crowd uh any of them here we might um yeah we might start it off
maybe just btm talk talk to us yeah just a little bit about what kind of gets you excited with turbo
um i guess just the community involvement and the overall project and how everyone's working together to keep the project moving
and reaching out to different projects and partners and always working right i think
turbo might be one of the hardest working uh meme coin projects i'm involved with these guys are always looking for uh support new projects
partnerships and new and exciting ways to help the ai mean coin we know as turbo uh evolve so
these guys are always busy they're always planning they're always working on new things to bring to the project, new partnerships, and just overall community, right?
Because when we start our meme raids, the community's strong.
And I see that the rest of the cryptocurrency ecosystem takes note, right?
When Turbo talks, everyone listens.
So I guess that's also a good thing.
And I guess that's also a good thing. And I guess that's it. So I'm just happy very great concept or pick or very interesting from the AI.
Just the word Turbo, right?
It means power or inducing power or adding power to the additional process or engine.
But that's just some of the insight I had.
So is there anyone else to bring up for the influencers?
Yeah, well, I might even just have a little bit of a chat about what kind of gets me excited about Turbo.
Well, Turbo, I like most people kind of, yeah, I watched Red's video and just,
he just came across as like a pretty damn genuine guy. And it might be that Australian bias in me
as well. So yeah, I just, yeah, I kind of felt a bit of a connection to him and just a bit of a
connection to the Turbo community. So I joined the Telegram and yeah, as you were saying, BTN,
they're just a group of great people. They are hardcore raiders.
They are working hard for their bags,
and they've got so many damn awesome partnerships.
I love the fact that they are partnered with so many different projects
that are involved in the AI space.
I think that we can all agree that, yeah, in general,
technology is moving at a crazy fast pace,
and integrating AI with your different project or protocol in the future,
I think it's going to be pretty essential. So yeah, to be the first mover, AI main point,
also being a pretty damn cute yellow toad. Yeah, just something that really, really gets me damn
excited. So yeah, what about yourself, KT? Oh man. I am super, super bullish on the toad, as everybody knows.
I think, you know, from the very beginning, just having, you know, that truly community-driven.
A lot of tokens say that they're community-driven, but in reality, they're not.
So, you know, when RET, you know, implemented the voting system, that's pretty much as community driven as it gets.
When people have a direction of the coin,
that is obviously awesome for us.
You feel like you're actually part of the community.
And then for anyone that doesn't know,
I do think you should go and hear that story.
If you haven't heard it, go hear Rhett actually talk about it.
Because once people actually went and listened to that YouTube,
it just started blowing up like wildfire, right? Like on all socials, X, Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, it just went to the moon.
So again, like, yeah, what brought, brought, what, what, what really began as
that $69 project, you know, look how far we've came. Our all-time high was just under one bill.
Like that is absolutely amazing. And again, I always have to, um, mention we have the first
AI meme coin blockchain ever guys. This is like absolutely elite. It doesn't get any more,
you know, better than being the first of its kind. So yeah, just a huge thanks to everybody who also
made this stuff happen. And again, huge thanks to, you know, Rhett that's had that vision behind
Turbo and just his willingness to basically take a leap and, you know, to help build with the
public and to invite the community into the process. That's really what inspired me and so
many of us that, you know, it's not just another token, it's really like a movement. So again,
you know, just this thanks for everyone who's continuing to build and you know expanding this and uh
just contributing to and you know just believing in turbo so thank you everybody
yeah yeah and as you mentioned oh you go yeah oh sorry um as you mentioned i think that video is
on the turbo uh website on the turbo token website it's a pretty emotional video so
definitely check that out so you guys can get in tuned with the full uh dynamics of turbo and how
he created it and he kind of walks through the process so it was actually a very uh inspirational
video but back to you uh matt yeah oh no I was just going to agree with KT.
It's just, it's a pretty damn exciting place to be a part of.
It's a damn exciting community and really Turbo, that whole decentralization,
that aspect of the value being spread across all of the different users
and all of the different users kind of contributing to the greater Turbo ecosystem.
Yeah, it just really gets me excited.
The fact that there's not one team that are kind of working an eight-hour workday.
It is a global phenomenon.
We are in multiple different countries all around the world, multilingual.
Yeah, it is just, yeah, it is a global sensation.
And I think really leading from that, I want to bring up,
if we have any community members that want to say
anything as i think there can't be really it can't be overstated just how important the community is
for turbo so yeah if there's anyone in the crowd that is a turbo fan or anyone that just really
wants to kind of say yes say any words i'd love to bring them up and yeah i'd love yeah i'd love
to hear hear anyone's thoughts so yeah yeah, KT, do we have
anyone, anyone in the crowd that you can see legend? Yeah, I'm going to start bringing, you
know, before we wrap up everything, I just want to say again, thank you to the entire community,
the passion, your ideas, your support. This is really what helps fuel this project. So this is
proof that, you know, when a community comes together, that nothing is gonna be impossible for us guys.
And honestly, this is our second birthday, right?
We're still getting started
when you look at the grand scheme of things.
So yeah, let's again, thank you for all the influence
or the partners and everybody who helped share the story
and bring new people into the fold
and into our family and our community.
That energy and that belief in Turbo definitely means the world to me and I'm sure it means the
world to all of the Toads. And finally, yeah, let's just go ahead and open up the floor. We
want to hear from you guys, whether you guys have questions, you know, feedback, you want to share
your own personal Turbo journey. This is your space so uh we will continue
to push build and keep you know proving that this community is unstoppable turbo to the moon and
beyond i'm gonna go ahead and start bringing up people classic welcome welcome to the stage brother
thank you man thank you katie uh thank you matt uh thank you all of guys you guys for being there
i want to start by um shout out to red man kind that here in the chat lcx uh

english is not my first language but i just want to start with this word but in particular
emotional they say don't put your emotion into the market but that's what i like for my turbo toad community we are so we got
the hype we got that emotion fired up that's what i can call a community when i when i try to go out
on the other communities it's more tomorrow like you go on telegram there's no one like it's dead
there's no one talking no one speaking yes they're doing're doing a bunch of videos, but you can see it's clearly for
of the meme coin. But us,
targeting for a long run, a long
The real thing about the meme coin
How long can you stay in the game?
Now we got people understanding that we are the first
AI meme coin, which means maybe one day in the future
Sonic, all these superstars,
Kirby, they all pass over.
Who knows maybe Turbo can be the next
Kirby or the next super game in the near future that's that's the way I see it
that's the AI power because the the Turbo is a big community as it's going
far farther and further you're gonna see people's getting more attention to
Turbo and maybe there's gonna be more and more in hype and people gonna get
more attention to turbo maybe so sony nintendo i see turbo in the long future long run that we we
say uh influencer but all of us are influencer i'm talking turbo every day in my work i work as
a bricklayer i might not be in the more like more sophisticated in the computer but in the real world i talk about my my turbo toad the way i see
it i'm an influencer myself in my particular world so that's way that's the way i see uh the
community like really like get to each other like we like connected a way. I talked to people from China,
a bunch of people, and we all get
That's all I admire for me and Turbo

but I think Turbo is here to
stay. So shout out to all the community
cheers to you guys yeah cheers mate thanks so much for coming up yeah i i couldn't agree more it
doesn't matter if you're a brain surgeon a bus driver or a bricklayer like yourself we can all
load the tow we can all work for that turbo community and yeah shout out to turbo happy
second birthday it's so great hearing community members come up
and that's one of the things that i love about these things you can kind of have a chat to
people you can hear that you can hear it in people's voices when they're genuine you can
hear it when people are passionate so yeah these things yeah they're super damn important do we
have anyone else in the turbo community that wants to come up. KT, I know you got access. Anyone else that you can bring up for us, Legend?
I think we have one more person.
It might take one second for them to come up.
I'm approving them right now.
So. Yeah, awesome. just pressed it up we have a couple people i'm approving them right now so um yeah awesome
yeah awesome yeah ursa if you want to if you want to pop up and yeah
give you a little pitch kind of what what gets you excited about turbo
I think we have to unmute.
I think we have to unmute.
I think, well, no, I think I fixed it.
I've been a member of Turbo since they came out.
I do believe that they share the same principles as Kizuna
and just decentralized AI. If there's anything that's decentralized,
if there's anything that really believes in transparency and user-centric data,
this is where we need to support. I'm more of a Kizuna kind of person, but Turbo reflects some
of the same principles. We should have open informationless access.
We should be able to trust the systems that we use,
and we should be able to, you know, enhance,
basically enhance our learning.
Kizuna is about enduring bonds, about mutual trust.
I see that in Turbo, and that's why I joined Turbo.
So when I speak about what my cryptocurrency loves
it is the principles behind decentralized AI.
