about the projects that we have on stage today but with that being said I
do want to throw it over to two foot behind the mob studios account my
first question for you today what what is your 60 second pitch 60 second pitch
alright we've been here for a year on infected mob we've got two collections
before that though you may have seen the infection last summer we infected
Salimpus we infected okay bears we infected primates with infected jungle
infected Salimpus and infected bears and with our two collections that came
out before infected mob and with the three collections we infected lots of
infections getting a little annoying saying I'm sure or hearing it we are
going to roll it all into one collection that comes out at the end of
the month so it's going to be all three collections into one if you want to
know about the detail of the three infected collections hit this chord for
that but our first collection of our robots are gives you three of the new
mint our second collection robot mafia club gives you two of the new mint in
our infected mob collection gives you one for one so if you want to get in on
the art get an infected mob that'll be the easiest and cheapest and yeah we're
gonna kill it we've got some amazing PFPs coming out by the end of the month
dude that's dude that's exciting man and I did go ahead and pin your pin tweet
to the top so everybody check it out that's kind of what they look like and
the vibes are immaculate and I was gonna ask you you know what is your
latest announcement is it this NFT collection or what else have you guys
been cooking up yeah I mean we're still doing art for other projects like racks
we did their raccoon art I'm I think they're gonna be another month or so
before they meant we just did some new art for Trippin H tribe as well and you
know we're always trying to put new art out for projects that want it
and we're gonna keep doing that so more art we got we also have merch we can hook
you up with some merch if you want some for your project we also have a marketing
wing as well so we're trying to help the community as much as we can Solana
you know along this Solana the future is multi-chain but we're definitely always
gonna be on Solana dude let's fucking go and I did you guys have some killer
art for sure I remember I got I had a bag of rascals and I got my you know
my infected stuff and two things were definitely cooking it was looking
pretty fresh and I'm just glad y'all are out here pumping out some quality
content you got racks coming up you got your own NFT stuff coming up and it's
exciting you know awesome services and awesome products for sure so two foot
behind the mob studios account thank you for checking in with us it was a
pleasure to learn more about what you got going on but with that being said
oh did you have something else you want to mention I was just gonna say thank
you for having us glad to be here absolutely for sure and I do want to
throw this over to the brothers mighty minions do they got the gold check mark
we legendary we gotta got we gotta get one of these bro we need the syndicate
account with the gold check mark I want to wrap that little you know white
circle dude it'd be fresh we don't got quite got that but that is fire that is
fire that's crazy dude that's what I'm saying bro I want that square PFP bad
but mighty minions guys how are you doing what is your 60 second pitch yo what's
up guys glad to peer thanks for having us Bryce man here representing mighty
minions today I'm the founder we also have one more co-founder Duke master but
yeah let's dive right in basically what we do over here at mighty minions is
create chance-based minigames where players can place wagers and win
anywhere between a hundred X or 0 to 100 X or even NFTs all of the games are
created in-house with our goal being to provide a more gamified gambling
experience unlike the traditional online casinos our first game bubblegum pop is
live so if you want to go ahead and play you can check that out at mighty
games dot IO in terms of our collection it's made up of minions from three
different factions fire water and forest my PFP is the water minion but
if you basically if you own multiple minions of the same factions if you
have like multiple fire minions that you own you do get additional rev share
multipliers that kind of stack with that on my collection size is three thousand
three hundred thirty three we sold out our phase one of our collection of a
thousand minions at one soul floor price now is around like 1.4 so and then
our so that's 1,000 sold and now we're minting the remaining of the three
thousand three hundred thirty three so around two thousand minions around six
weeks from now but yeah that's basically our sixty second pitch for us dude love
to hear it man and do mighty minions have been seen dude y'all are tenacious
bro y'all have been around for a while y'all been cooking I've seen you on the
timeline I've seen you in discord chats man y'all are making it happen dude
excited for you guys and I love I love you know it's dope but you guys got
cooking but my next question for y'all would be what is your latest
announcement or development or update you've had as a project yeah the big one
is the bubblegum pop game that's what we've been working on that for a while
so it's finally live and we're making some adjustments as we listen to the
feedback from our users but you know it's working everything looks good players
are enjoying it and our main goal is to create more of these types of games
going forward but yeah the big one as of now is the bubblegum pop that's our
fresh game it came out maybe like a week ago the version that's available to
everyone so yeah go ahead give it a try let us know what you guys think dude
absolutely and I love it I think you guys I mean you said you bro I'm
tripping over my own words here man Elon got to me a minute ago but dude
you're cooking it up you've been working on it for a while and it's not
finally seeing stuff like that shift it's like a weight off your shoulders so
congrats man excited for you guys and great work for sure but with that being
said we will go ahead and transition into our next project also guys if
you're not familiar with the formatting in the show we're trying something a
little bit new today we're going to be introducing each of these projects
getting to know them a little bit more what they got cooking and what's on
their radar or what's on the horizon and then we'll transition this into a
little bit of a discussion guided by you know some neat questions and
everything going on but with that being said we will go ahead and go into our
next guest prez in the anti socials press I hope you're doing well my
brother what is y'alls 60-second pitch hey what's up suck thank you for
having us on again and 60-second pitch for anti socials one of the big things
that we're focused on is really improving the gaming industry bringing
something new to the table and that comes in the form of the darknet dark
net games so what we have here is a game aggregator and marketplace that we're
we're building one of the problems in web 3 specifically with web 3 games is
exposure so we're giving them a platform they can all centralize on get on
there get some exposure and the cool thing about the the platform is it's
it has this whole social hub that's part of it players can come in they
can create these groups organize gameplay get rewarded for using the
platform for playing the games and the other cool thing about it is we have
these smart contracts set up where people can come in and set up wagers set
up tournament play compete for different prize pools and people are gonna
basically the game developers will be able to come to our platform they'll be
able to list on there get the exposure they need they'll be able to build up
their communities have their communities get exposure to other games and vice
versa and then they'll also be able to monetize their games now with our smart
contracts they can get those hook up to the to our API get wager set up get
tournament play set up for their games and get exposure to crypto for the
platform right now we have Solana USDC and SPL tokens set up for wager play we
have our UVM contract so we'll introduce Ethereum and polygon later on
and then we're also talking to my devs right now our next goal when it comes
to wagers and stuff is gonna get is we're gonna be to get BRC 20s and
Bitcoin wages going on there but yeah that's that's basically sums up like
what we're doing on the on the product side on the on the project side we just
have some great art some great PFPs you know a lot one of the things that we're
trying to do is it really build up the the brand for our character we design
something that we think could be universally appealing to everyone
something that can be seen in games and animation and cartoons different stuff
like that so we're really happy with the results Yemen the art is a great
work there and it's always a pleasure to hear about your project and everything
y'all cooking up and it sounds like you got a lot of stuff on chain for sure and
I know that can be quite difficult so you know I appreciate everything you're
cooking up there and making this interoperable for a lot of different
people a lot of different creators and having them have that you know that place
to where everything kind of comes together right that sense of aggregation
but prize and I'd love to hear from anti socials what is your guys's latest
update announcement or development you've made as a collection so one of the big
announcements that we made recently this past week was that we're gonna be
partnered with the Bonk Foundation what we're doing is handling their Boncade
they have a pretty large list of games and other games that want to work
with them ones that already have like you know Bonk play and other stuff set up
we're gonna be listing all those for sure on the platform I mean anytime they
have a game that wants to work with them they'll be sending them our way so we
can get them listed so that's a big partnership I'm pretty happy about we
we lock that down a little over a week ago and since then we've just been
meeting a ton of new games a ton of ton of interest from creators who want
to get listed on the platform want to get wagers set up stuff like that so
that's a pretty big partnership I'm excited about and then right now we've
been teasing another one that we were we're organizing right now a pretty
awesome team in this space we finally got connected with them we got to show
them what we're building they like it and they want us to bring it to their
platform so yeah like very exciting stuff and getting ready to announce
that hopefully tomorrow everything goes well we'll drop that news yeah dude
exciting stuff always love to hear some news alpha in the weekly news alpha
space so dude I love that I think the bomb stuff is super dope I heard about
that I think it was a couple days ago and man dude it's exciting right I love
what you guys got cooking it's very apparent that partnerships are on your
mind and I think that's the way to go especially in the bear market man so you
know congrats to you guys and I'm excited for what you got coming next for
sure appreciate that brother yeah like the way the platform just works out so
well as is with the networking and community anytime we get connected with
the game they love what we're offering they you know it's got three things that
they need is you know one is the exposure from the overall market to is
the the community and player acquisition and you know the more games we list on
a platform the easier that is for them and then thirdly just the exposure to
crypto and being able to monetize their games in new ways is important you know
and this is just the start for us like you know with the wages and the
tournaments and stuff like there's a whole you know suite of different tools
we want to offer another big one being the the marketplace we want that to be
kind of like an aggregator for for all these in-game assets that are gonna be
start to be traded on chain soon so you know every game out there is gonna have
their in-game marketplace where they straight and start to trade these NFTs
and you know armor pieces collectible stuff like that you know but that's all
gonna be mainly for their holders within the game well we want to have
like a marketplace they kind of aggregates all these and kind of
brings it more like a traditional NFT market field towards trading these
in-game assets dude love to hear that man I just checked my steam profile and
I have a counter-strike skin that has 10x'd so I'd love to see that so if I can get
that on some real you know in crypto instead of in steam dollars they can't
take anywhere did I definitely definitely appreciate that but exciting
stuff prez I always love hearing about anti socials but with that being said
we'll set way into our next project that we got on stage and then we'll open it up
for some discussion but we do got I believe it's Sam behind the good old
mecca race account the absolute homie dude Sam hope you're doing well man what
is mecca races 60 second pitch yeah first of all legendary thanks for
reaching out and having us come back on I know last time it was a little
impromptu because they it was some guests that didn't show up it was
planned yeah okay but uh yeah no so the Mac race 60 second pitch so we're a
brand heavily focused on pop culture we're trying to create some really fun
content for our holders currently you know thinking back on the past eight
months that we've been released as a project we looked back and we knew that
we were just trying too hard to accomplish things that we simply weren't
good at and I think finding our shortfalls and finding the things that
we are good at are very important when you're trying to create fun utility and
obviously make price go up so recently we've been making content in for
announcements in form of short form content so roughly about four minutes and
we're looking to release a video a week we feel that that's more engaging for
our holders to look at and see what we're doing instead of just you know
reading through a discord announcement as well as working on some new art and
entering chapter 2 of the Mac race where we are focusing like sort of like
prez was talking about how there's a lot of games that don't really have the
exposure that they would like we're trying to build some platforms for the
projects that don't have the exposure they would like dude I love to hear it
and I love the unique take on keeping a community engaged I think the videos are
a new way of doing that it is a testament of who you are is Sam and who
the brand is mecca race and I think it's exciting and I'm glad you're
incorporating more of you and the team into that right in doubling down on your
strengths and and seeing where that takes you for sure but with that being
said Sam what is mecca race's most recent announcement update or development
you've made yeah so our most recent announcement was
actually yesterday we released it we released a cool little trailer for
chapter 2 going over what we've done since pre-ment so if you would like to
check that out it's our pin tweet but a real announcement instead of you know
just like a little video is just diving deeper into the bridge to Aptos and the
product that is Eflux exciting stuff man I mean you got that that bridge was a
big decision to be made for sure and I love that you're building out these
projects you're facilitating that you're keeping everyone in the loop and oh
okay sorry I had to make the syndicate account co-hosters bugging out on a
second ago but dude exciting stuff and dude I just love the mecca race and I
also think it's dope that oh dude I'm about to get feedback hold on guys bear
with me let me move this to over here okay okay sorry about that but I think
it's I also just noticed we have two projects with em logos and they just
throw me off a little bit it's like which one is a witch but we got it locked
down but do what we can fight for it if you want some arm wrestling action let's
go let's go yeah we can out we can see who gets the best score on on the dark
net pong we can play each other for the logo oh man you've probably played
before I've never played I was whooping Perez yesterday during the syndicate AMA
so dude that's you that's true utility right there that's what you know you got
something special for sure but with that being said I will go ahead and
transition us into the discussion component of the show today but before I
go ahead and do that I will say guys that this is a Twitter space and if you
haven't already please hit the button in the little purple button in the bottom
right hand corner drop a quick comment like and retweet on the space that'd be
much appreciated so we can get some more people in here to learn more about
the projects we have on today but I do want to throw this over to mighty
minions because mighty minions as you were talking oh you know as you've
been talking you guys have been working on this for a while and you've been
cooking up you've been engaged you've been very tenacious through the market
and everything going on here and I guess the question I have for you is you
know what has really gotten you through the low lows and it has gotten you
through those high highs and what has kept you motivated as a project
founder yeah I mean I've been entrepreneur for quite some time now so I'm kind
of used to the low lows it's just what comes to entrepreneurship I don't really
see it as lows but more actually like some parts of the bear market I didn't
mind at all and I actually kind of liked it because it almost kind of felt
like a breath of fresh air because the the demand to constantly I guess
communicate with the the community was a little bit lower right it's like
during a bull market it's you almost need to constantly be telling the
community that all these new updates come out but I feel like it was for us at
least it was a bit unrealistic to have these huge announcements always coming
out because a lot of these things take time to build right so during the bear
market things were a little bit quieter so it was kind of like a breath of fresh
air so I didn't mind that at all we just kind of kept our head down and
kept building and we just knew you know once these games are on once we
start delivering and people finally see what we've been working on all this
time you know that's when our time to shine will come so we're just kind of
patient about the whole thing and we're just excited now that you know the
games are finally coming out we get to really see you know the type of impact
that we'll have going forward yeah dude and I love to hear that man and I hear
I love to hear that you have that on your background right for you you've had
that time to really be able to be engaged and really push yourself and
put your back against the wall because it's really those moments where
you're able to make some really cool shit and as you mentioned with the bull
market right people are asking for a lot more right and you have to be super
engaged so you can't really have your head down and build and it's something
you have to accommodate for it something you have to kind of shake out but yeah I
mean it's awesome and I love to hear that but yeah you want to add oh go
forward I was sorry I'm not trying to change the subject I just want to let
some some new friends who have joined that we're trying a new style space
we are not taking requests for speakers during the space just the scheduled
projects are gonna be coming up here so dude I do apologize Lucifer you is gone
now nonetheless sorry for changing the subject guys keep going nah dude you're
good bro and yeah guys like rice pan did you have something else you wanted to
mention oh yeah I was gonna say it's a good learning experience too because
that demand to constantly deliver big updates in the bull market kind of
forced us to work extra hard so now when the bear market comes and you kind of
get that breath of fair share it's nicer but you know through that bull
market experience it kind of taught you to be able to balance the community side
of things and the back-end development side because at least initially when we
were first starting off the project that was a big challenge for us where we
kind of felt like we have to spend so much time managing the community that we
felt like it was truly distracting us from you know the development side all
the back-end stuff rather like if we actually solely focus on the back-end
then we could probably deliver on things a little bit faster and so the bear
market kind of allowed us to do that which we really liked but also that
pressure of being able to manage both sides I think is very important and
eventually is a skill you know if a project act wants to be extremely big
and extremely successful I think that is the skill that you do need to
eventually master where you know the community side is always hyped and
you're always able to provide big announcements keep them excited all the
time but at the same time still be going hard on the back-end and not
letting the community side distract you whatsoever dude you're absolutely right
and I do want to pass this over to two foot behind the mob studios account
because community management is a it's like an entirely different beast right
I mean it's it's completely different from everything else it's not like
development it's not really product it's this very organic thing that you're
building out and it's kind of hard to stay organized and motivated as you're
doing that so two foot for you I know you've been involved you know you
dipped your toes around around the ecosystem and you've been engaged so
I'd love to know how do you go about connecting with your community and
getting them excited about your project well that's a great question first of
all they just brought me on a couple months ago to help with I guess it's
been a month actually to help with mob I mean I've always been involved with them
and been on the zen dragons team the the ex-labs team but recently they brought
me on to specifically the mob to help with the community so you know it's
easy to get them excited about the art and about what we bring in but it's
also important that in that process that we help the community become friends
and so that's kind of been my focus so what we started doing is having
discussion topics a couple times a week to help generate in-depth discussion
where people can get to know each other better because yeah we want them to be
excited about the project I know that was the question but we also want them to
become friends a lot of us came to get rich but a lot of us are staying
because of the friendships and so hopefully that helps to keep people in
the project coming in daily to keep things running as we build up to the
to the new collection because I think the art kind of speaks for itself so
if the arts as dope as I feel it is and the communities as tight as I hope it
will be then I think that's going to carry us a long ways yeah and if you
don't mind me asking you a follow-up here because I think this is something we can
learn from so you mentioned the importance of friendships and
facilitating connection how are you doing that right how are you connecting
people how are you running any programs or events to do that or what does that
look like on your end well we have a fitness channel and it's it's not got
a lot of activity yet but it's getting there as more people are tuning into
it and then the discussion topics like I mentioned a couple times a week we are
doing impromptu VCs we're also doing scheduled VCs with like market analysis
or you know kind of learning how to read charts and stuff we also want to do
some more activities where where people actually come in just conversate just
get to know each other better on a on a voice level but then also you know
we're trying to get our raid our raiders going again we had some pretty
amazing raid raid crew going last summer and in the fall you know we were pretty
comparable with ghost kids but they always are amazing but so that's that's
some of the things we hope to have some more engaging activities you know
obviously we got the rumbles and stuff everybody's got rumbles but and I love
rumbles but you gotta have more than that and so hopefully in the next
couple of weeks you'll see more activities I don't want to announce any
yet but yeah come check it out
man and I think it's small stuff like that that really add up and they
compound to make those relationships and build those friendships that make all
the difference in this space right like I met some of my good friends in alpha
channels or fucking around on a timeline or in spaces and the more options you
give for these people I think there's a lot more room for collaboration and
I do want to segue this question into something for Sam because Sam I know
you've been cooking up you've been building mecca race for quite a while
now you started as you know you minted around FTX not the greatest of times and
then you started making something fantastic so a question I have for you
is how are you intentional with your community and how are you building
friendships within the mecca race yeah so I think when it comes to community
and creating a community where everybody is friends it really comes down to
giving the community some things to focus on on a daily basis that they
can come together and talk on it like every single day so whether it's an
announcement that we release and almost every time we release an announcement we
usually hold an AMA so we can talk to all the holders and all the holders can
converse but also just no spontaneous day AMA is where I'll ping at here and
I'll talk to the community and we'll find some topics to talk about I think
the way that we've been able to build a community through this bear market
which can be one of the toughest ways is just really creating not just a
community but a group of friends that's super tight-knit and obviously if we do
everything right as we grow as a community and as we grow as a project
everybody who's here already will open will welcome new people with open arms
yeah and I think it's always a great idea to have that really foundational
group of people and your project really have those core supporters like we got a
couple of them we got people like hang jackets in the queue we got people like
legendary it's like we got all the fucking homies drizzle like dude we got
so many of these dudes that are just the day once writer dies that'll
basically help acclimate people to your community right and get people engaged in
your vision and Sam a follow-up question I have for you is so I know you're
building this and you're having you know you're connecting with your members
you have these AMAs but how are you personally connected to your community
right do you are you active in your chats do you host spaces or really what does
that look like yeah I think I probably if you were to go in and look at the
discord logs I probably have the most chats out of any of my mods any of my
holders you know every day I'm just excited to talk to the people that I've
met through the community and I I almost feel like a community member myself
like when I go into those VCs and I talk to them and you know we we converse it
doesn't feel like I'm their founder it feels like they're my friends and I
think that my co-founders and my mods feel the same way especially right now
as you know we're just kind of building through this bear market and trying to
grow and expand the brand and we're just kind of having us some fun together and
just just making friends every time somebody new comes in dude we gotta clip
that bro what did he say he said I don't feel like I'm their founder they're
my friends or something that's a straight to the timeline kind of quote
dude I appreciate that one for sure and dude I love to hear that man like
active and engaged founders are in the what is the it's you know the best
work is done in the trenches this is the motherfucking truth bro being active
being engaged making those connections making those friendships make all the
difference when it comes to launching your project right and I want to throw
this over to present anti-socials because press I know you've been in the
ecosystem for quite a while right you've worked on projects preemit
postman everything in between you've had launch pads and you've been
engaged all around the place so I'd love to hear from you you know how I've
how has community building with anti-socials been different than any of
your other experiences in the space so far so you know to be honest it's been
quite a quite a challenge you know it's a different type of project that we're
doing you know a different platform that most people are not used to in the
space I think when it comes to gaming a lot of people you know the first thing
they think is that we're trying to make some triple-a game that you know is
gonna you know redefine gameplay and all this shit through an FT project and
that's not like what we're doing so to be honest it's been kind of like a hard
sell early on but now that like we have this platform built out now that we
have these partnerships going and you know something to actually show off like
in terms of a larger vision it's become a lot easier we're seeing a lot of new
faces coming into the discord we have our day ones who have been there who show
up every day but now like people are kind of organically seeing like okay these
guys are serious they're building something awesome the art is great like
you know and you know one question I get a lot is because you know it's like
basically like why are we not more hyped than we are and I think it just comes
down to like having it convince people to to have that kind of like renewed faith
and gaming when it comes to the NFC industry and you know everything like
that but now people are seeing and divisions getting clear partnerships are
strong and people are loving what we're doing so I'm very bullish on it yeah
man and especially in this market when active wallets are going down basically
day by day we've had some revitalization with ordinals and
everything going on there in the recent pumps especially with mad lads but it's
a tough market right and getting people to believe in you and your narrative and
your team and everything you're cooking up it's man you're finding up a battle
for sure everyone is right and they're definitely huge props for taking that on
and really being engaged and excited for what's going on here and present a
follow-up question I have for you is you guys have been chucking along you've
been cooking up and I guess what is so exciting about the future a few years
from now of anti-socials I think a lot of it has to do with the the potential
behind the tech that we're building you know we're not trying to reinvent the
wheel we're just took tech that is kind of already there and made it more
available to a larger market and we're gonna try to get that as seamless as
possible so a lot of potential when it comes to gaming gaming is like I believe
it's at 55 billion this year and it's set to go up to like 250 billion
within the next you know five years so those are insane numbers a lot of
potential for revenue coming in here and if we could just capture even a
percentage of that volume and bring it to Darknet and to the different chains
we're operating operating on I think there's a ton of potential there and
talking to like the different creators and founders of these games and studios
there there definitely is a demand for it people need this kind of exposure
they need somewhere for their games to be centralized on they need somewhere to
acquire players easier which is becoming harder and harder to do
because you know there's so many games being made with the rise in AI I think
people are gonna be spinning out games like a weekly so like at some point in
the next few years so you know things are getting challenging you know when it
comes to gaming and we're offering a lot of different ways to simplify that
there's a lot of value behind it people want exposed these teams want
exposure to web 3 and the tools that we're we're building are gonna do
that and make it easy for them they're not gonna hire they're not gonna need
to hire like full-on blockchain teams and and all this extra stuff we're gonna
we're gonna make sure that like you know anybody from the gaming side whether it's
creators or the players can come into web 3 and just focus on great
experiences and gameplay rather than what's the blockchain what token am I
using how much is it shit like we're gonna make it fun and that's kind of
like what's awesome about darknet and it scales with that and I love to hear
that it's it's exciting right it's this huge market opportunity it's something
that people need and it's something you know people wanting or is worth
building right and I love that you're pursuing it and you can obviously care
about it you're excited about it and I love that you're really pushing forward
on that for sure and I do want to throw this over to mighty minions right because
you guys have to be kind of mentioned is this is something you guys have been
working on for a while you guys are doing gaming gambling you know some of
this stuff and creating services and products for the ecosystem but I'd love
to know from you guys what is the most exciting thing to you as a project you
know about your project and everything you're cooking yeah I think the big
focus that we didn't focus on I guess prior to the previous like bull market was
the Twitter we basically did very very little marketing on Twitter but I think
this time around we're trying to build up our Twitter presence we're doing a
v2 art so version 2 of our profile so kind of like the PFP that I have on
right now that's the PFP for the water minion for the version 2 so they're all
gonna look like that but with the multiple different faction so I think the
version 2 of the art looks a lot better and that's from all the feedback that we
received from our community even people outside the community we just DM a bunch
of people asking them for feedback and this is kind of what we came up with so
hopefully you know that does really well encourages more people to rock our
project as their PFP we're gonna do some like PFP staking where you earn a
portion of the ref shared for rocking our PFPs to kind of incentivize people
so that side I think that'll be really really really cool in terms of
branding we've been focusing on the branding aspect on Twitter a lot and then
I think just in the future just kind of releasing more games our games are set
to go it's gonna be an app soon so it's gonna be a gaming app that people could
download it's gonna be web 2 friendly so web 2 users can play even without the
use of a phantom or metamask any of that the crypto stuff so you can just
download it play purchase credits with your credit card or Apple pay to kind
of make it more user friendly and I think once we hit that we plan on doing
advertising with it which I run an advertising agency that's so that's kind
of where my specialty comes in and so hopefully you know through those we're
able to bring in more users not just for web 3 users but also web 2 and kind
of expand the collection that way because I definitely agree with a lot of
the panel here a big problem that is in web 3 right now is kind of user
acquisition for the games I think a lot of projects are having struggle with
that even some of the more prominent projects that have found success in like
gambling slash like gaming I like when I go to their websites and check out the
players it does seem like their player user base has been declining especially
through this bear market by a lot so I think really expanding beyond web 3 and
going to web 2 is gonna be something that you know I guess like in a sense
sets us apart and kind of gives us that advantage to continuously grow our
games did you mention something I've been thinking about a lot and is why I'm
actually working on syndicate is there's not a lot of ways to do marketing and
get user acquisition for any business in web 3 right I mean that's why we're all
on Twitter spaces that's why we all have Twitter campaigns that's why you
know we do first come first serve collaborations right it's because there's
not a lot of ways to appeal to the people in the ecosystem so I think it's
awesome that you're looking to bring another outlet I'm speaking a little bit
too quickly but you're looking to bring another outlet of which people can do
their marketing right and get their name out there and that's exciting stuff man
and everything you mentioned with the upcoming art and stuff like that
definitely definitely something to be excited for but I do want to move this
over to our friend two foot on the mob studios account I know you mentioned you
just joined the team recently and you've been engaged and you know looking
to build out that community and making mob something fantastic but I'd love to
know from your perspective you know what excited you the most about mob studios
and where do you think y'all will be in the future well to be honest the people
that run mob studios and x-labs have been amazing they first connected with
I first connected with them a year and a half ago and that I just really I
really love how much they care like I don't know if you guys have met how but
he'll call me every six months or so just to check on how my life's going and it's
almost like a pep talk it is really cool but of course the art is amazing I mean
design a cool does he does amazing stuff I dislike what they try and build
and how committed they are like Zendragans was a rugged project that they
de-rugged dandy's can't permit you bears which was a rogue project and we just
care about the community and it's it's wonderful to be a part of that so awesome
art awesome people you know and there's a lot of projects around that have the
same kind of people the same kind of art and so it's just nice to be here
with them and continue moving forward yeah and I think great art and great
vibes make all the difference hence why IP plays and brands do so well in web
3 I think mob has that right you guys have fantastic direction and the way
you're going about building out your kind of universe and style is is iconic
right you mentioned you know infected or anything like that and people know
exactly what they're talking about and a lot of people envy that kind of
recognition so for sure appreciate that and I think it's it's exciting stuff
for sure and I do want to throw this last question to Sam before we go ahead
and look it to wrap it up basically on time here but Sam I have a little bit
different question for you because I know mecha race is like your child right
you've been working on this collection for a while you've been pouring time
and money into this making something awesome and I'd love to hear from you
Sam what does the mecha race as a collection as a business as a community
and as a friend group mean to you as a person yeah I guess that's a good
question it's a really tough question too I guess mecha race to me is something
obviously like you said I've been working so hard on it that we could take
in a lot of different directions the team that we've been able to assemble over
the past few months as we've slowly added to the team we could take it in a
few different directions because we have a lot of people that are good at a lot
of different things and when they have some shortcomings we have another person
who's good at what they can't do and so one of those things is building tools to
help projects with social engagement one of those things is a team of artists
who can make short form content and market to web to eyes on Instagram or
tik-tok and one of them another one of them is video editing with you know we
have we just added some GFX artists and I used to edit YouTube videos and stuff
like that so with mecha race I think it can be a collection of a lot of things
but I think the the main idea for mecha race is a very strong brand that can
help people and the projects that need it with social engagement yeah and I
love the empowerment behind that right because for you there's this theme of
friendship and family and being able to accommodate and help each other and
elevate each other to make something fantastic and mecha race is something I
think you've been working on it you take a lot of criticism and you apply
that and you make things better and you you're pushing yourself and your
community to newer heights each and every day I'm seeing you around and it's
exciting stuff man and great work from you and everyone involved and I'm not
sure I might have okay I'll throw this over to Perez with a very similar
question then I will wrap it up here but I want to make sure I gave everyone
pretty much equal speaking time on today's show but before I throw it over
to press to wrap it up here guys I will say that this is the syndicate news
review we do host a show weekly every single Sunday at 7 30 p.m. EST hosted by
me and the legendary the homie here you probably got a DM or two from him
but guys if you enjoy this show we'd love to see you again next week same
time same place and this is a fantastic show where we learn more about the
projects of the ecosystem and their thoughts and everything they're cooking
up their latest news and announcements and so on so forth but we'll hit
legendaries hand and we'll throw it over to press with our last question but
legendary go ahead man sock we do have a defy tribe requesting to come up I
failed to remember that I did DM them and told them about this space but this
space was super late for them how do you feel if I bring them up here yeah yeah
you can go ahead and yeah go ahead and bring them up and then we'll ask the
pitch and the the announcement but we'll hit press first before we go ahead and
wrap over defy tribe because I but we will give them the time but dude press I
know anti-social is at this point is basically your child I mean it's a
tough market for sure but you're dude you're pushing man I see you everywhere
repping the brand dude and we need more founders like that people who are
tenacious who really give a fuck and are trying to make something fantastic
and press the question I have for you is what does anti-social as a movement
or as a collection mean to you how is it significant to you like to me and it
might sound cheesy a little bit but like to me like anti-social is going to be
that project that like NFTs was always supposed to be about it's going to be
about the community it's going to be about you know a solid you know I'm
not supposed to say this shit but a solid place for you to you know put
your money but like just that project that you can have faith in that they're
going to be delivering stuff that you know that project that's doing
something innovative not doing the same thing that we've seen in the space you
know a hundred times over like I want anti-socialist to do something that
matters that's particularly why I chose gaming it was definitely a hard market to
choose to get into but I think we came into it with the right kind of
solutions and and I think because of that anti-social is going to be a very
special project I think it's gonna it's gonna be like one of those underdog
stories that everybody's wanted in the space you know that small group of
creators that built something amazing and then you know brought it into the web
to world and then brought them into our space you know so that's what I want
anti-socialist to be is that project that was always promised and and yeah
that's how I see it dude no not fucking love it man I think the fact you think
that way the way you think that way that this is something that always should
have been this is something I always wanted it it just shows that you have a
level of care for your project that I feel like doesn't exist too much in this
ecosystem and it's founders like that that make all the difference here it's
founders like that that make it through those low lows it's founders like that
that remains sane during their high highs right and we need more people like
you brother so definitely appreciate you man and it was fantastic hearing from you
but to wrap it up here guys we will don't over to defy tribe defy tribal to
keep it a little bit quick here I'll ask you three quick questions then we will
look to wrap up the weekly review for today but defy tribe my first question
for you today will be is will be is what dude I don't know English will be
what is your 60-second catch Jim guys is nice to meet you is he here the core
team member actually I don't have any like you know like ready peach because
I'm not actual speaker I'm not always speaking at the at the spaces but
today I'm here as as everybody are slipping so we're nice to meet you
everybody thanks for thanks for invite and yeah if I try we're having kind of
like classic defy lending platform where you're like pledging your SPL tokens
we are not an NFT lending platform so we're kind of the first SPL lending
platform in the NFT zone and what differs defy tribe from other from other
lending platforms is that that we are developed the rewording system for our
users so basically you're getting bonus points for using our platform this is
like at the guest station where you're like you know getting bonus
points that neck that later can be exchanged for you know for some cool
stuff so with defy tribe for public users because we are having also we're
having to to like types of you know of of this rewarding system one is for the
public for people who are not having NFTs and this is just like rewording
system for using platform so you're getting getting like more points for
using platform and the points can be further exchange to the soul so we're
kind of developing something like used to earn where you're using platform to
earn points those points can be further exchange the soul and for the NFT
holders we have more developed like gaming features like when you're a
holder there's a new interface that is showing you that is showing to you on
the website and you can leverage your points that you have that you're like
earning by using the platform so basically you're like there's a RPG
game there's like opening for you you're having here warrior which is your
NFT and you can upgrade your warrior like every warrior is giving you discounts
for the NFT like each trait is giving you discounts for them or like using the
platform but more level up like more like more level your character have like
more discounts you'll have so for example they're like there's specific
things like helmets like armor like you know sword or like weapon and each of
the traits is giving you discount for something else for example helmets are
giving you the discounts for LTV like armor is giving you discounts for the
time of paying back the loan and weapons are giving you discounts for the
interest rate so you can play the game with the warrior there is like few
gamifying feature like you can call it like you know like age of empires
because like it's something like age of empires because like you can make your
tribe you can build your tribe you can you know team up with others you
can write other tribes for example to not get righted rated you or looted you
need to buy a shield in the store which let you know lasts for 24 hours so
basically you need to buy the shield every day to not get like you know robbed
by your other holders there will be like training arena where you can put your
put you put your warrior to like get you more points and like you know level
it up for example for 24 hours and you're just living here NFT in the
training arena there is a battle arena where we will have like mini games first
game you're planning to do is like racing game where you're like racing with
your horse this will be multiplayer game we actually we are aiming to do
some like more developed game and the mini games but like for example like
fighting game is super expensive and especially if you want to do it like
multiplayer and with the NFTs games like this can be super expensive so
we'll start from something smaller like horse racing right so something like
Klein's ours have or like like NFT coin flip I mean that's not a coin flip
because like we're having like you know financial system so we cannot have like
gambling there but basically this is like a card game like war where you
like you know putting your card and whoever have like you know more level
like which card is better like you know he's taking the other the other card
so there will be like mini games in the battle arena there will be also shop
where you can where we'll be dropping like a special traits for for users the
traits can be bought only by having points like there is no currency in the
game only the you need to get points by using platform to play the game so
basically the game is only to leverage your leverage your points that you've got
from from the landing platform so yeah so we're having the stripes you can
build your tribe you can put your warrior to battle arena you can put you
put your warrior to training arena you know you can there will be missions there
will be quests missions will be related to the platform so basically you need to
like for example I appreciate your pitch but can we keep it can we look to wrap it
up yeah sorry so so yeah so that's that's that's that's basically yeah and
there's a trade swap where you can like you know strafe it swap your traits and
yeah that's that's what if I try that's that's what makes makes it unique
so if you guys have any questions let me know I'm sorry for being late and sorry
to know and don't worry that's that's on me you know what I'll reach out to you
and we'll have you up on a space prop set up a little bit differently here
