Hey everybody good morning. We all do and I see people coming in which can allow another minute. I am trying to add my account as a host and for some reason it's not letting me if anybody knows how to do so let me know. Otherwise
- Oh good. - Yeah, good morning, man. How's it going, sir? - Going good. I just poured myself a coffee. I managed to find this like Crembrilay flavored coffee and I noticed it's in 'cause you should have normal coffee, but it is saving life. - Yeah, man. I'm very almost done with my coffee, might need another.
Wow, this is a coffee session. How's everybody doing? Give a thumbs up or a purple heart if you are doing well. Thank you for joining this early on a Friday.
now I see that there's a little bit of a little bit of lag but thank you guys for joining. The working title for these spaces is Unique POV. Again this is just a working title Julian and I want to put it actually to the community to come up with some names for these spaces. Again we want to
do this on a semi-regular basis, keep it casual. We mostly want to use it as a platform to discuss things with you guys, talk about what you're seeing in the NFT space, you know, create a channel where we can all work together to make the unique marketplace a bit more cohesive, a bit more community-driven, it's always been our goal so we thought this might be a good way to
to to at least start doing that through conversation. The other thing I need to do is I need to quickly share these tweets. One second, I need to pin them to this thing. I'll rather need to go to them. Okay. Lovely stuff. So in the meantime,
Maybe Julian can fill you guys in on some scam campaigns that have been running around. Yeah, so I mean first of all, how's it guys calling calling in from sunny sunny South Africa, played in Bergbe. If you don't know where that is, give it a Google, beautiful place. Hope you're all having a lack of morning so far.
Yeah, I mean one one of the big topics I've seen going around recently I saw something on Facebook yesterday just please be aware guys be aware of the scams that are going around We'll never ask you to send us to an ultra wallet or an USC 20 wallet or anything like that. So just stay safe I'm sure there's a few people
that have been affected by it over the days, weeks, months and whatnot. All just seems to be becoming a target for it. As we grow, we'll probably see a lot more of this sort of stuff happening. So yeah, it's our job to make sure our community is educated and aware that these things are going around. You need to double, triple check these
things before sending any money or clicking on any links that don't look official. So keep it safe guys. It's a crazy world out there. Don't want you losing your precious UOS. Yeah, just double triple check guys and again like Julian said we will never ask you to send
UOS to us. And if we ever do, it will be communicated very clearly to our official channel. So please double check the tags, double check the handles, make sure that we are interacting with ultra. So off of that lovely, that lovely PSA, we've got
got some cool topics to discuss and one of them like we said so these spaces we came up with the working title unique point of view we want to keep this casual so if you guys come up with any names please feel free to pop them in the thread underneath these spaces put them as a comment
and then eventually we will do a little sort of competition to see whose name gets chosen. Try to keep it clean, you know, we don't mind funny, but let's keep it clean, guys. Yeah, we'll see like which names get sort of like the highest likes or something like that and then we'll do a poll on Twitter or whatever we can pick a name together.
get everyone involved. Personally, we like unique POV, so maybe that'll be one of the options. But it's up to you guys. We'll take everyone's feedback and let's name it something cool. We'll probably be running with this for quite a while. Let's do it.
Nice one and we don't know what the prize will be yet again. This is very casual these spaces aren't even very well-fought out We just want to talk to you guys, so you know we'll come over the competition, but put your names in the meantime the yeah one of the coolest things that happened I've been the tweet to the top of this. It's the third tweet pin razor have a
Announce a a venture into the web 3 while they're creating an incubator for web 3 games Which is so cool the ventures this is huge If anybody has oh by the way, that's the other thing if anybody in the listening crowd here wants to put their hand up and speak this is a this is exactly that
This is the forum where you guys can talk to us about ultra arena, ultra games, the unique marketplace. Give us your questions. Again, these are coffee sessions, so keep them light, keep them happy. But if you have any serious concerns, please let us know. But yeah, raise your hand to speak if you guys have any questions or anything you want to talk about. But yeah, so Razer is starting an incubator.
This is big. This is a big hardware gaming company. Hardware gaming thing. Yeah. Yeah. This is shows that they committed into the web 3 space and I think a lot of these big name companies are actually moving into the space more and more so every day and gaming is becoming very much
not next week but the following, the 21st. So it's been a crazy few weeks. You can just imagine we've been extremely busy on altricide, all the teams are operating full speed. So it's been difficult to keep up today to sort of everything that's going on in the space, but this is a big one. Razor's a big company.
And a big Web 2 company and it looks like they are just another company taking the step into the space and the fact that they'll be investing quite a large amount of money into Web 3 gaming slot ups and potentially infrastructure as well. It just adds to everything we've been saying over the last
weeks and months about more and more players entering the space and it's exciting to see. I personally love Razer. At least in the past, I used a lot of their products. I know they've obviously got fierce competition but great company, great products so hopefully they can have a great venture fund too.
Yes, sir. By the way, I saw a veto. I think you put your hand up. I think that's what that was all you just waving, not sure, but I've invited you as a speaker. I think that's what you wanted. If anybody else wants to, please feel free to put your hand up and speak. But yeah, Razor moving into the Web 3 gaming space. You know, we
There's a lot of ways that we can see these movements as competition or a threat to ultra or whatever, but we don't see it that way. We see it as the space expanding. There's more than enough space for everybody to jump in. And it's just about who does it better. It's just about who does it with community focus in mind.
And that's what we aim to do. So if anybody is. And hopefully they can hopefully they can be a collaboration at some point as well, who knows. That's the idea. We would love to get involved with it. We know how the all-trickety likes to speculate, but I mean, any
any new big players entering the space, especially on the gaming side, obviously Ultra would love to partner with them and whatnot. So we'll see how things move. At the end of the day, we are. We're obviously just trying to do the best that we can get as much reach as we can, get the best partners we can. That's all that it's about at them today. Yes, sir.
And we see that off of that, our other games announcement has done pretty damn well on Twitter. We've gotten quite a bit of exposure on this, which is good for us, good for you guys, good for everybody. Damn, my Twitter feed is blowing up with you, yes, man. It's everywhere. I don't know about you guys.
in the crowd but every second post is UOS and a lot of it is coming from some of the guys I see here in the space now in the crowd but a lot from all over so I'm being very impressed with the coverage we've been getting and hopefully that will reflect and the launch and in the future so it's super exciting.
I'm hoping you guys are benefiting from this as well, being early adopters of your OS and hopefully you're getting some more followers, hopefully you're getting some opportunities out of it. And yeah, watching that nice little pump coming at the moment is not a bad thing either. But yeah, along with that sort of exposure, you know, you
a lady of crypto has got almost 400k followers tweeting about UOS, I mean, this obviously a good thing. And as far as I'm aware, unprompted, as well as I think she did that out of her own volition. So, I mean, that's great that people are doing that without us having to pay that. Yeah, that's nice. And I think there was a big, a big French influence. So it's like,
million followers or something that also was talking about ultra. I mean, I don't speak French unfortunately, but I did see some community members winking and pointing towards that. So, I mean, you can just see the exposure is coming from all over and we really hope it continues. And, you know, we're going to build the products and, you know, the
the creative assets that will reflect sort of the product that we're building and the amount of effort we're putting into it. So hopefully you guys see that and as we grow that will reflect even more. We even got a shout out on NFT news today. I use NFT news today quite a lot.
to see Ultras name there. Nice to be associated. And again, you know, it's because of you guys always supporting that we've been able to continue doing this. So big thank you to everybody here and all the people who aren't here too. Because now we are at the place and I'm sure everybody wants to talk about this and if you want to give your comments or talk about how hyped you
If you are hyped, let us know. But Ultra Games announcement is ultra-bader. I'm going to invite you to speak now. But Ultra Games has been announced. It's massive. It's huge. Everybody's been built in towards. So we're super stoked. Do you need more complaints?
We're going to be popping off. We're going to have a lot more opportunity to get some gaming related content on the marketplace. We're getting an opportunity for eventually introducing tokenized games. UltraBradar, I did send you an invite to speak. I don't know why it's not. Just check if you got that invite.
and jump on up and speak if you want to. But yeah, Ultra Games guys, we're stoked. Julian, how awesome is this? I mean, yeah, it's obviously a long time coming. I've also been following you as for a while. As maybe some of you not been working for Ultra for about six months now, but prior to that, I've known about Ultra.
for at least a year or so. And it has grown quite a bit, I must say, I mean, working from the inside as well, there has been, you know, expansions in all departments. So it's been, it's been interesting to get an internal view on the company as well. Obviously not too much I can share on that side, but good to mention that
There's a lot of movement, there's a lot of expansion and a lot of activity in the company itself. So it's in general. I know this has been a long time coming waiting for the game store announcement. So I'm sure you guys are just as excited as we are as the ultra family to get this out then. Getting
the big chunk of trying at least to get a big chunk of the game is onto our platform and start attracting some really cool games to distribute to us. So that will be, I mean, it's an exciting time. It's probably the biggest milestone that Ultra's had thus far. So it's going to be a big build up to that.
I just got to reply here from Tibalt who I think this is the article you told my Julian from journal Du Geek. I don't have a pronounced that correctly so all the French speakers please forgive my pronunciation but there's the announcement for Ultra that they share there as well. So a lot of
big, a lot of big accounts tweeting about Ultra. This is going to create some good momentum for the Genshinolange guys. On the back of that, Julian and I have been working hard. I know the content stream has been a little dry lately, but for good reason we are refining, we are building and we're improving as much as possible. Our internal
up to look cool. I mean you guys recently got the battle pass for Ultra Arena which was also announced the what can say exclusive tournament is currently happening. If anybody in the crowd has taken part in the first tournament please let us know if you're taking part in the tournament this evening please let us know we'd love to hear your feedback on the
experience so far. But yeah, the battle passes were dropped alongside that, all the influencer campaigns and the referral campaigns are happening. So a lot of cool stuff we've been focusing on, which is exactly why the content stream on the marketplace drops have been a little dry. However, we can tell you that may shaping up to be pretty cool. We're going to get some cool drops coming.
We've got some hackathon entries that are going to be dropping in May. It looks like I can't tell you exactly who, but that's enough I can give you. And then we've also got some more physical related drops coming in, something, not clothing related this time. We've got some, you know, what can I say?
anything I want to say consumables but that's as far as I can. I think we'll keep it there. Look we've got some we've got a cool collaboration happening in in May hopefully maybe after but you're very very cool stuff happening a lot of cool new drops hopefully. Contraville too much as I said it's so hard not
to support the beans on the spaces when chatting to you all, but exciting stuff and may look like it's going to be lined up for a good month, at least for the unique marketplace and the launch pets looking forward to that. We're hopefully going to move on the momentum of the
game store in Ultra Reenalouche. We're going to be gaming alongside you guys with the tournaments coming up in the following months. Not that I'm any good at all if anybody captured the internal staff tournaments. They know that I'm riding Julian's co-tails in this game. That's why we hired him. Yeah, look at
Arena, the arena close better so far looks to be lining up like a real success. I've seen a lot of positive comments but obviously also a lot of feedback. It is the close better guys so we take all the feedback and try and put all of that into a pipeline that we can push out. There's quite a bit of feedback, there's quite a lot of things
that we've been chatting to Patrick about. We know we're working with Patrick quite closely every single day. So there's quite a few new things that we'd like to push out on Ultra Arena, just ease of life, ease of use because overall the platform works smooth but there's a little bit of friction when
it comes to getting the games together and connecting with other teams and whatnot. Hopefully we can push out something cool that will streamline that process. But if anyone's got any comments or had fun playing the ult, please put up your hand and come talk to us about it. Unfortunately, we don't have closed better rena classes.
So we were we were unable to participate in any the tournament tournaments although I would have loved to play the PUBG tournament today I've got like a thousand five hundred hours in that so I think I would have done pretty well, but I'll leave it to you guys. I think I might be streaming.
I know that's happening this evening. I think I might be streaming into Patrick. I think that's yet to be confirmed. But Joch could be very cool and I know that filled up very quickly faster than we expected actually. So yeah. I was going to ask about the streaming. Are you streaming that on Discord or where you streaming that? I think it will be on
the score, not 100% sure, might be on Twitch. I think that's up to Patrick. I think there is an ultra twitch account, but I will discuss that today after the Twitter spaces and all that. Nice one. Again, if anybody has any comments, please, we host these things so that we can talk to you guys as well.
into what you have to say. So feel free to jump up. Maybe maybe you're not the strongest with English or something, but we are not the strongest with French, so it's an even. Yeah, guys, jump up and speak. The one thing I feel inclined to, you know, this is again casual Twitter spaces. So there's very little consequence and I don't see any of our superiors here.
here in the crowd. So I'm going to I'm going to elude to something cool. We got a meeting later today with a very cool collaborator, not a company, just an individual, who you guys might be aware of already. And we might be talking to him about helping out with arena, which would be really, really cool. And that's what I'm going to say. But I wanted to tease something.
I want to reward the people who are kind enough to get up early, have a coffee with us. But yeah, whatever comes out of the conversation you guys will hear about it. And we're hoping that it turns into something quite solid. This person's experience would be very vital for us. Yeah, look, Arena's building up to be
quite a valuable product for Ultra and obviously we still just in the closed beta but you know we already started to see the potential a lot of people contacting us about you know the platform in general and you know partners very interested in in the arena platform so it's lining up to be quite you know we're going to need a few people
hands on managing sort of the arena and all of that and it looks like we could have some cool people assisting with advising with that entire process. So very, very interesting time for arena, interesting time for ultra in general. So it's, yeah, it looks like April's lining up to be a big one. Hey, Douglas. Yeah.
April is going to be a vibe and May is also going to be a vibe. And I think from this point onwards, let's be optimistic and let's be ambitious. But I think from this point onwards, Alchair is going to start cutting out a big market share. Alchair is going to start cutting out a nice space for itself in the Web3 gaming, but also in the NFT space or so in the tournament space.
So overall I'm really excited man like things are moving We know personally from our meetings every single day that our indeed department who you know deserve a massive shout out because they are keeping things together They are building things that nobody else is doing in this space and they're building it from scratch And we get to talk to them every day
and they probably have the hardest job out of anybody else at Ultra. We just demand things and they deliver it so we really appreciate it. Yeah, we demand it and take the community, take the community sort of, I won't call it backlash, but feedback is put it that way. And we relay that onto R&T as much as we can, but are there
They're busy, busy guys, as far as ultra's, quite a big company. Not massive, obviously start-up vibes, but a large majority of our company is working on the R&D side and developing the tools and features that you guys are seeing on the platform. The tools and features you will see in the future. So yeah, big shout out to them, as Douglas said.
They're working hard every single day. Every day something new is happening. It's been a busy, it's been a busy 2023 so far and hopefully we can. It has been a hallowed busy 2023. It's been a big one and even the last few months we've been grinding it out. So hopefully you guys
will see the fruit that we've been growing over this time. Yeah, and you know, ultra games is launched soon and we know that 99.9% of the people in the ultra community have been waiting for quite a few years. So we're really stoked about that and we know that that's the focus right now.
unique marketplaces, going to support that launch as much as possible. We've got some cool campaigns coming in, so just keep your eye on Twitter pages, Twitter accounts, and we'll be announcing some cool stuff. The drops coming in May, the campaigns that go alongside GamesDaw launch, and also the end of the closed access
Arena tournaments and the opening of the you know public tournaments were really excited about it and all of you guys will be able to organize your own tournaments through Ultra with any game you want which is you know as far as I'm aware no one else is doing this kind of thing so it's really the essence of Ultra isn't it that we give the community the
power to enjoy gaming in the way that they see fit. And we are looking forward to taking part in a lot of the 20 minutes you guys host. Again, I'll add this. I was playing Counter Strike the other day because I caught a little bit of the Counter Strike bug off the playing with Julian and then I was so bad that this little kid from India was shouting at me that I'm a cheater. He thought I was
the other team. That's how bad it was. Douglas, when you told me that over our meeting, I think it was about a week ago, so I actually lost my shit a bit because that was actually hilarious. So bad that they think you're cheating.
No way this could be on accident. This has to be on purpose. So right, bro. I'll carry you in all the arena tournaments. No, she's that's kind of the point. That's kind of the point isn't it? You carry me at the marketplace. So you carry me in the game. That's how it goes. A few more people are joining in here. We got another five minutes. Please guys jump up and talk to us.#
we have here. Also, it makes our job easier, so we don't have to talk so much. But we want to hear what you guys think. If you have any questions on the marketplace, I'm a bit more awake now if they're hard questions, I'm willing to take them. I might not answer them, but I'm willing to take them. So if you guys have any questions, please jump up and speak. Any topics in the NFTs base#
NFT NYC is happening at the moment. Is anybody there? I mean I assume not because it would be like what 1 a.m. or something now. But if anybody has plans to go to NFT NYC or hell NFC Lisbon is coming up in June so if anybody's going to be there please hit me up.
to definitely be there. And a little, I mean, it's not 100% confirmed yet, but it sounds like I might even be speaking there. Talking about NFTs and how to market NFTs, but also how to make them community centric. So if you guys have any tips for me or disagree with the fact that I'm speaking on that, please, let me know.
Hopefully no disagreements in the crowd. If you got anything you want to mention or chat to us about please put up your hand. We can talk about, look we've been so busy on the game store launch 70 campaigns. So many different things we try to manage at the same time. So yeah I've been a bit discreet.
from the news in general, but I've seen quite a few cool things happening, not as much as previously, but maybe it's the calm before the storm. I mean, there has been the crypto pump recently, which has been great. I'm sure great for a lot of you, U.S. pump, which is always good. We all enjoy that. But, otherwise, we've been so busy. I've been so
just going to be from the news in general. But otherwise, I mean, it's good to keep busy and keep working on the products that you guys get to see every day. I didn't realize that Ferb Rolls was announced. There you go, guys. Ferb Rolls was announced. Ferb Rolls is really cool. We've been talking to the team. I can't reveal too much. I don't think I don't know what's
announced but for overalls is a cool game that's coming to our game store and then they'll also be doing a bit of a unique drop with us. That is not one of the main drops that's still in discussion with them and everything but you know they announced it so I think I can talk about that. Hopefully we can push that out sooner rather than later. They're cool to
team had a good few discussions with them so hopefully we can get something cool out of that very soon. That's the other thing, hey guys, if you have any ideas on other projects that you think should be listed on the unique marketplace, please put them forward in Discord, put them forward in Telegram, email us at Unique@Ultra.io.
That's our email address. Yes, I think sure. Yeah, that's one. Awesome. Yeah, so please send us ideas. Go through the application form and we know in receiving some great applications through our main application form and we will be replying to those whenever we have windows to do so.
But we do review them. We do look at them. Please know that they are not just sitting quietly. We do also get a lot of joke applications and for that we say thank you guys very much because they do bright now there. Yeah, I must say it's actually quite funny some of the stuff to get sent through. We just have a good laugh and we try not to click on any spoof links. That's what you know what's coming.
through on those applications it's it's dangerous out there. It is dangerous but some of the some of the applications really we can see that like we we make sure they are jokes before we laugh at them don't worry but there are definitely some really great jokes that come in through something for that but keep the applications coming if you guys have any ideas let us know
Last three minutes, anybody got anything to say? It would be great to hear you guys thoughts on what's been happening. But what great to hear you guys take on the ultraviolet tournaments. I know some of you guys by looking at your profile pictures that you definitely have access to tournaments. So please let us know how that's going. Otherwise, we'll see you in the stream this evening. I'm definitely going to come watch.
And I think Julian and I messed up because we probably should have gotten some battle passes and joined in. We should have just dropped up. We could have just dropped ourselves on it. But I'm yeah, we'll keep it we'll keep it ethical at this point. Yeah, we should have we should get some
But yeah, we didn't get one and we didn't think to give ourselves one So so you guys know it is definitely exclusive we can't even take part that's how exclusive exactly it Well, we've got another two minutes. It doesn't look like anybody's gonna jump on today. I understand it. It's early. Maybe you haven't had your coffee yet like Julian and I have straight after this
As Julian and I have back to back meetings all day, we are working hard to get campaigns going on the market. First, we're working hard to line up with the arena team, with the game store team. And we're putting together some of the things. I might have to ask you to take some of those meetings as there's so much there's so much obstacle around on my side.
We'll chat about that after this face. That's perfectly fine. Just before we close it off, guys, I want to say again, thank you so much for joining. We know that it's not the most structured at the moment, but we want to maintain these channels of openness for you guys to talk to us.
And we're going to keep doing them. We're going to keep doing them even if nobody talks to us because we want to just make sure you guys know we want to take your opinions into account. We want to create these platforms so you guys can speak to us. And then finally, again, watch out for these scam accounts. Anybody who's joined halfway through the spaces, we never ask you to send us your ass and we'll never use
and ERC address to do so even more so. Please double check the Twitter handles, double check the wallet addresses and double check the announcements. We do not ask you to send you a S for any reason whatsoever and just be careful. And quick shout out again about the sort of naming campaign you want to do for the spaces. If you guys got any cool ideas.
We came up with unique POV, I think actually Douglas did. So I guess that can be one of the options if you guys like it. Otherwise comment in the thread of the space, whatever names you come up with that maybe you want. We're just getting the community involved as much as we can. So if you think of Sunning Cool, comment it on the Twitter space and we'll give it a look and maybe
the one with the most likes or a few with the most likes would do a poll or something and you don't get you guys involved in naming the space and what not so I think that could be a cool cool initiative. Yeah and if you guys have any ideas for the prize for that nothing unrealistic so if you guys have any ideas for the prize for that please let us know. I'll send you a
That is not the prize, but guys, thank you again for joining. We appreciate it and we look forward to having the next one and please feel free next time to jump on. Have a chat with us. If you have any topics throughout the week and the NFT space as a whole or online
