Full Transcription
Thank you. you
My check one two all right, let's go Thank you. Okay. GM, hello everybody and welcome to the monthly Welcome Wednesday show.
If you guys can hear me loud and clear, throw some emotes up, let me know I'm here.
All right. We got some thumbs up.
Hit that like, repost, and drop a happy Welcome Wednesday in the comments as we get things rolling here.
And Marav Dort, help me keep an eye out for Drew,
who should be joining us.
We'll get him up here as well for the intro.
If this is your first time tuning in,
Welcome Wednesday is our monthly show.
We are a community-led initiative.
None of us work for Yugo Labs.
We are a labor of love and just know how important it is
to bring apes together.
So if you are new to the club, we'd love to get you up here later and introduce yourself and share a little bit about your story.
Tell us who you are, what brought you to the BAYC, and what it took for you to finally get here today.
We also love to hear how the community can help and support you on your journey. By hopping up here today and introducing yourself, you'll qualify to earn your Welcome Apes Cupcake Badge, which is a digital collectible you
can display on your open page profile. Quick disclaimer, nothing here said today is financial
advice, but we are here to tell you that the Board API Club is the best club on the internet.
And I want to be respectful of everybody's time here today so if we get to a
point where our stage is full and new people are looking to come up and introduce themselves that
may remove some people from the stage if you've already shared so please don't hate me for doing
that and just request back up if you want to get back in this is our third welcome wednesday space
on x in the big 26 and we've've welcomed over 100 new club members already this year through Welcome Apes.
And we're already on track to have an all-time high this year of people we've welcomed in.
So without further ado, wait a minute, you guys.
I'm in danger.
I just got a message from somebody that I don't know
asking me to join their Discord server
and another message of someone asking me to trade my ape
for something more valuable plus some more Ethereum.
You know, I've never met this person before,
but they're in the other side and they're verified in Discord.
Marav, do you guys think I should click the link and join their Discord and trade this?
What do you guys think?
Avoid the link. Avoid the link.
No links, Law. No links, man.
I don't know. I don't know i i would not click i would not join a discord i would not entertain a uh a dm that you you know
unsolicited dm if there's a link in there man i would stay away i don't know marav what do you
think I would stay away. I don't know. Marav, what do you think? Hey, can you guys hear me
uh yeah oh my gosh yes i hear you i i didn't have the bluetooth connected to my roadcaster
so you guys did not even hear the intro you didn't hear the you didn't hear the
you didn't hear the no oh my goodness no man no no no we did not but we can run it yeah let's
run it back real quick one second let's do this again oh my gosh you guys i'm in danger
the i just got a message from somebody that i don't know asking me to join their discord server and another one of someone asking me to trade my ape for something more valuable plus some ethereum
i've never met this person before but they're in the other side and verified in discord
should i click their link and do the trade
definitely not dude do not click those links do not join a. Do not click those links. Do not join a Discord. Do not entertain a
DM that you received unsolicited, even if it seems like it's from a verified date. It's
probably a bad idea in this market, in any market. Definitely avoid that law. Don't do
it. Yeah, dude. Yeah. at least at least i got the skit out there
the second time bummed it didn't work out the first time but yeah you guys there's a couple of
uh some interesting characters going around there and we just wanted to make sure you guys are safe
i know ape whale put out an article kind of um telling a little bit about the story of
his experience what's going on.
So far, I think everybody's
safe, everybody's Gucci, but yeah, just
remember to keep an eye out.
Don't join any servers
that people send you links to,
even if they're verified apes or whatever.
There's been a
few bad actors that have been floating around
the other side lately, and I think
they're making their way over to Twitter now.
But yeah, be safe out there, you guys.
But Dort, Marav, now that I have everything set up, working, how are you guys doing?
Law, I'm doing great, man.
I got my great, man.
I got my water bottle here.
I'm finally starting to use some of those stickers I got in Vegas.
I used one here.
It says Ape Fest Vegas.
I've come here to Ape.
So that's how I'm feeling today.
I'm here to Ape.
I'm not sure what that means today, but maybe we'll find out.
But yeah, just chilling, man. I messed around in Frosty's
AI MML tool and made a little like welcome center, just a quick mock-up of a little welcome
center. So that was a little fun thing I did today. But yeah, kind of pumped to see how that
all works in the other side and keep messing with that.
So that was kind of my highlight of the day is working in that little system.
Yeah, dude, things are certainly heating up in the other side with MML being brought to it.
We're seeing people vibe code on, I don't know what you want to call it
this like deed this area um i jumped in there a little bit yesterday and was playing around
it's pretty crazy dude and i'm gonna have to jump in your little your little thing that you
created as well marav how are you doing today hey uh i rugged a little bit earlier can you guys hear me okay now
yeah loud and clear okay cool yeah i'm okay i'm a little bit under the weather
caught caught a bug at sky zone of course some little kids you can always count on that right
little snot nose kids running around if you run with them, you're going to get sick.
That's my PSA.
But yeah, I'm doing okay.
I had the pleasure of going to a really nice meetup in LA with some apes recently.
I think it was last Monday.
It was really nice.
It went so well.
We went to Korean barbecue and then we went to
this little place called Brass Monkey for some drinks after. Caught up with some apes. It was
really nice. Be jealous. Dude, so jealous. I saw a picture of you guys there. TLDR, I think Hype was
in town and just hit up a few people to meet up. And he was posting
pictures throughout his stay there. And I was like, oh, there's Robin and Javi. I was like,
that's cool that you guys were able to connect out in LA for a night.
Yeah. When you get the opportunity opportunity i definitely don't pass that up
love the irl meetups even the little especially the little ones actually
yeah i you know we always talk about how important it is to find your regional club
and get a chance to make it out to something big or small and you're right i think it's even just
like the little hangs that i always cherish the most whether it's a bar and and i think hype even got to stop by uh the original bar that
i don't know if gordon and garga like were in and kind of inspired them to create the board
api club and they took pictures of it and shared it, which was really cool to see.
But, you know, we've been talking about working on a website and doing a welcome package experience for, you know, a long time.
And, well, today's the day.
well today's the day the website is officially live and i've prepared a little bit of uh
The website is officially live.
you know of a speech to to talk a little bit about it
and and stuff like that but before i do it i'm gonna go ahead and push this post live
so it is posted give it a second and starting today new apes who compete our quest will qualify for the welcome
package put together by us and some incredible partnered friends within the community the
packages and quests will continue to evolve as we grow but we're really excited about what we've
built to kick things off and get this program rolling. Joining the BAYC is a big deal.
And there really isn't another club in the NFT world that comes together the
way ours does.
That's the whole reason Welcome Apes exists.
We thought about how cool it would have been if something like this existed
when we first joined a committee that welcomes you,
helps you find your footing and makes you feel included from day one.
So, how do apes qualify?
If you joined the club starting this year, January 1st, 2026, you now have 45 days to complete your quests on our website.
For the first wave, we're going to be limited to 36 apes we'll see uh how many people
like put their hands up to start doing it i'm really interested to see how that goes but going
forward after today any new ape who joins going forward after today will have 45 days from the
date they join the club to compete the quest and qualify. Many of the quests will require a proof of play style post on X.
So some of them will also require you to post an EVM wallet address.
As you complete these, make sure you save the URL links to your post
make sure you save the url links to your post because you will submit them when you apply
because you will submit them when you apply.
and i kind of recommend keeping them in a notepad or a spreadsheet as you go and of course we
dork and i we're here to help you guys every step of the way so as these quests evolve over time
um the whole point is to help new club members Find their footing, become active participants
In the community, and learn how to
Stay safe in our space
We're going to spend some time going over
Everything and answering questions
Today
But before we do that, I just wanted to take
A moment to show some love to the apes
Who helped make this possible
We got Jason order.
I feel like,
I feel like I should have the Chicago bulls kickoff right here.
Dude board trading co Jason hoarder is personally shipping out physical
welcome packages to the people,
to the new apes.
And we worked with him on some custom items and created something really special um we're honored
to have him putting that level of care into the packages that will reach new club members
so shout out to jason who's below come on up dude and anybody come on up that wants to
you know it's part of it you're a new ape come on up now is a good time um really cool art that's on our announcement post featuring is done
by jacopo and i know the ogs already know how legendary jack is but for new apes in the room
it was a real honor to work with him and i think this piece just came out incredible dude love this piece um marav joins us every week and created all the art for
our website and i think that her style gives welcome apes that warm welcoming feeling that
we try to bring to the club every day so we are incredibly lucky to have her on our team
and in the bayAYC family.
And big shout out to Javier, who spent countless hours, late nights, building the website.
Everything from the structure to the systems that allow us to update the content, track new club members.
It's a huge amount of work, and we are incredibly grateful for everything he's done.
Big shout out to Apewell,
who actually secured the website domain years ago and has just been holding it for us.
He's been an OG committee member since day one.
And he's also generously donated products
from his brand Boring Merch
to include in the physical welcome packages.
So a big shout out to Apewell packages so big shout out to april and big shout
out to drew who is another og committee member who has helped us every step of the way from helping
us secure our discord to locking looking into suspicious accounts and everything he does with
boring security we appreciate him big time shout Shout out to Rita who created these,
renders that we'll be showing you guys soon alongside that you can post to
welcome in new club members.
they're going to be available on dashboard.
In fact,
they're available right now on dashboard,
but just apes,
not mutants coming soon.
And Rita just helps so many people in our ecosystem.
Like when he came to us and brought this idea
I was just incredibly honored
so shout out Rita
Baron
been there supporting us and helping us
connect with the Yuga team whenever we needed
he does a lot for the community
and we super appreciate him
this list goes on and on and I could be here
all day naming apes
right but
I just want to give a big thank you to our friends and partners who helped make this launch possible.
Board Trading Co., Boring Merch, Friends Chocolate, Ape Water, Ape Beverages, Board Ape Gazette, Open Page, Other Games, Ape Church, and Night Gliders.
Being able to kick off this welcome package experience together with all of
you is truly a dream come true and speaking of dreams come true we absolutely have to thank
apeco because none of this would exist without their support but um yeah that's kind of my little
um my little spiel to kick things off and we can talk about the website and uh
dork marav anything you guys want to tap on before i keep uh before i keep blabbing up here
uh yeah i mean i i do want to say how much i love and appreciate working with you guys i mean
the thing that jacopo made that flyer is incredible and even having the opportunity to
do art for the website has been incredible for me too and you know shout out to you guys because
in a world full of ai slop you guys uphold the artists us and the community and and it goes a long way. It means a lot, you know, like to be a group that puts the art first.
Yeah, I can't really explain how much that means to me and to other artists everywhere to see that.
So it's big. It's big stuff.
And loved collabing with you guys.
collabing with you guys.
I'm excited that it's out there.
Excited that it's out there.
And I'm jealous that we don't get a welcome package
because what these newbies are in for
with all of these brands on board to help,
it's incredible.
It's incredible.
My mouth watering as I'm hearing about friends chocolate
and hoarders packages with cookies.
I mean, you know it's coming.
They're lucky, they're so lucky.
Yeah, I was promised a welcome package.
So we're gonna have to talk about that one,
have to revisit that.
But you know, we've been working on this for a while.
We've been talking about it for a while
and working on it for a while. And man, I remember way back in the day, Hoarder
talking about the welcome package idea and us trying to figure out how we could possibly,
you know, even logistically afford to do it as a community initiative. And so I double just sort
of the thank you to ApeCo for, you know, helping us realize this vision.
And really, I just, I love the idea of like new apes coming in.
These are the things they should do without question.
This list, you know, of qualifiers, these mandatory quests, the cupcake quests.
These are things that all new apes should do
if they really want to dig into the club
and be just a productive member of the club
and protect their assets and participate on multiple levels.
These are all no-brainers.
So I feel like, you know, like we said,
if you joined this year, January 1st, you have 45 days from today to pretty much complete these quests.
I believe that would be April 18th.
And, you know, we can work with every ape that wants to let us know they're going to go for it and try to get the welcome package.
I'm pumped.
I feel like the work's just beginning for us a lot, but I'm down for it.
Tremendously excited we could launch this, launch welcomeapes.com.
It's finally live, you guys.
We did it.
Dory, you did mention you were promised a welcome package.
And I knew this was going to come up.
I knew this would probably be the first thing that would come up.
Because we got a lot of OGs, a lot of committee members that roll with us.
And they're a big part of everything we do as well, right? Like, we're the loudest.
We're definitely the loudest nft community in the
game there is something for ogs and if you guys go over to the new there's a there's a page on
the website for new members that is just for you to see the new members and you can you can kind
of like go and scroll through new members and it links you to their twitter posts and if you look right below
that you'll see an ape i'm pretty sure everybody here knows them um well there's actually three
apes there there's marav and there's captain um they're at the bottom sitting next to the tv but
if you look in that tv there's a picture of peter parker who is our very first ape of the month. And that's something that we're going to be doing as well.
We'll put up a post that tells you a little bit about Peter Parker
and why we selected him to be the very first ape of the month for Welcome Apes.
But yeah, dude, we're going to reward people that we see within the community
that are doing good deeds and are just being good club members
and shine some light on them.
So, you know, if you're an OG,
and we do have something for the OGs,
we're looking out for you guys.
Yeah, dude, I love Peter. yeah dude i love peter he's a he's a freaking awesome ape so good choice for ape of the month you know we can begrudgingly find him a special a special gift for that but um but we talked about
you know just just peter was kind of rookie of the year. I think it was last year he came in the club,
and he just kind of took it by storm
and just wanted to give him that honor,
being our very first Ape of the Month
for just how much effort he puts in on the timeline for apes
and just showing up every day.
Peter, we love you.
I don't know if you'll hear this or if you're here somewhere,
but, yeah, man, you're a good ape.
Appreciate you, bro.
Yeah.
We'll have a post up later that, um, when you click Peter's face in the future, it'll
link to the post of us showing some appreciation to him, but rookie of the year.
I like that.
That's a good, that's a good title for him as well.
Just somebody who connected quickly and, and you know is a is a strong voice
in our ecosystem shout out peter but i want to take it back a little bit um and then we'll jump
in with hoarder because you know welcome h has been around for like what three years now and um
what three years now and um we've done spaces from from spaces to other side bubbles that we
do when we don't do spaces and this idea of a website kind of came back to us a long time ago
and it's something that we've always kind of wanted to do and people people we've had a lot of apes through here like shout out the
Captain Zwingli who's in the audience and Vicky um who are not up here with us today but have
always maintained a part of the committee and just been a you know been apes that have picked
up a shovel and um been a part of our journey and we we definitely wouldn't be here without him so i wanted to
show some love their way vicky if you're listening in um captain i see you down there
and um just give you know tip the hat you guys way really appreciate everything that you guys do
and have done for our community and um yeah dude we wouldn't be here without you guys.
Also, why you both live on in the
website. That's right.
That captain's
holding a Welcome Apes mug, and
I feel like we need to make that.
I need one of those mugs.
But what else we have?
We have a community resources page on the website that's going to have links to some
important things that we think Ape should have available to them from things like
accounts that maybe we have officially like our X page and our open
page to BAYC official accounts to a coin ape chain official accounts and to our
friends,
our partners.
And even if you scroll down to the bottom,
there's some apes that we recommend you follow.
So for your brand new ape coming into the club,
this really gives you a great list of things and, and apes to kind of plug into and follow a little fun thing we put
together um but yeah something something that i'm really excited about is that this is this is like
a program that's going to evolve and and grow as we continue to
evolve and grow so you know not every month is going to be the same old welcome package
you know there there may be new things you know we're always going to be working um there's a lot
of things that we're looking into so yeah it's going to continue to grow and evolve
hoarder are you up here with us, bro?
Yeah, I'm here.
There he is.
What's going on, man?
Hey, guys.
How are you doing?
Good, good.
An honor to be here.
Thank you for having me, including me.
Hats off to you guys for driving the effort and everything you guys are
doing here.
We're finally doing it,
man.
Absolutely.
excited for people to see what you guys have planned here and getting into
people's hands.
Yeah, I'm really excited for packages to start going out and the people that do these quests and to see their reactions on the timeline i think um i feel like when you first buy an nft and join a
community it's and you post about it and the response that the
community kind of gives you is is a big deal to it's not a big deal and it's a big factor of you
deciding like what are you going to do with this asset right are you going to utilize that asset
and and dig around the ecosystem and participate and be like an actual member or are you just gonna like
hold it and you know get rid of it in an x amount of time and you know when new club members join
that's it's there's a lot going on within our ecosystem and it's hard to kind of tap in and i
think i think what we do every week um by having people come in and ask questions and it was like every week we've,
uh, we have new people come in and tap in and, and we help them get started.
And I think, uh, there's no, I don't really see that anywhere else.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, no, absolutely.
And to be as consistent as you guys have been uh in doing it for as long
as you guys have i yeah i think it's it's vital and you know again hats off to you guys for just
you know taking it up and and doing it and getting it done. So definitely inspires, you know, myself in what I can do to help
and contribute to the club too.
He's a man hoarder. But yeah, I feel like I've kind of
explained a bunch of stuff and I don't know if we have any
new club members that have been waiting to come up and earn their cupcake.
I guess now would probably be a good time.
And if anybody else is digging through the website or has any questions or you see anything that you want to talk about, now would be a good time as well.
So join us up here if you want.
Looks like we got dupes coming up and i want to give we since we got dupes up here i want to give a shout out to dupes who joined
the club this year and has already took initiative to host games on the other side
and getting people situated and plugged in over there and as well
a part of our you know our welcome committee group chat it helps us out with with a lot of
stuff too so dupes welcome up how's it going hi guys yeah it's been a few months since i got my
i think it was like late december but i always have to work when you guys have these spaces.
So it's taken this long, but yeah, got my mute in December and I'm on the other side.
First, I was just kind of bumming around doing nothing and then helping out with the Mars
cat game nights.
And then I kind of all turn into just running some soccer leagues on the other side.
So if you want a ball, come check out Other Balls.
New season starts in a couple weeks.
Where can they check that out?
It's on otherballs. xyz um the website or on the twitter account is where
most of the updates are it's just other balls i think we're tweaking the website so it's going
to have a lot more uh cool stuff coming soon courtesy of another ape who's actually i've had
a lot of apes help me with like the website stuff and
other balls and running it so it really is like an amazing community that you guys have like we
have it really is like even like ape whale down here um he's been sending out boring merch once
a week uh that i raffle off during the games. So it's just, it's been really
really cool, like, to see
the support and stuff from the ape community.
Hell yeah. Well, you
finally made it up to the Twitter space
to get your cupcake badge, officially.
I know, it's taken a few
months. I was was like looking through
open page i'm like do i have one do i have one no damn i don't have one even even pulling up to the
the welcome wednesdays on the other side though what i've been doing them yeah wednesday nights
yeah because like i i mean the apes were honestly honestly the first NFT I saw on the timeline that I was like, oh, my God, I love these.
But I didn't really know much about it.
And then when I realized what the price range was, it was definitely out of my realm.
So I never really knew much about the club.
And then I got my, but it's still like i didn't know much of
anything so it was nice to like hook up with you guys where you could actually start learning about
all the different things that like are associated with the club opportunities you have and like just
meeting people and you know figuring out how to get your assets safer and stuff like that. So it's been like a huge help.
Man, I appreciate that.
And yeah, like these mandatory quests, I feel like they're things that every ape should do.
You know, attend a Welcome Wednesday space.
Of course, you got to do that.
Share your Welcome Wednesday experience in a post.
Attend Meet at the Clubhouse, by Barron and Illa.
Welcome a new club member.
Create an open page account.
Join the Welcome Apes community on open page.
Create a glyph wallet.
Delegate your shadow to a warm wallet.
Attend and complete Boring Security 101.
Get set up in the other side
and do not list your ape these are the mandatory quests to to qualify you for the welcome package
i don't know i thought about it today because ape whale was like it's the purple backgrounds
that are the scammers so now now I'm like, damn it.
I have a purple fucking background.
I need to find an ape close to my ape's price.
Find a different background now.
You're a new punk blue.
What are you talking about?
Isn't that purple?
It's the same one as all the other scammers that he's done.
Rolling out.
Dupes.
I want to say welcome too.
And it took me a long, deep scroll to find your welcome post, but it was worth it.
And I got to also see some of your cool posts and shares.
And damn, you've been active welcoming apes too.
And it just warms my heart to see that
that's so awesome so shout out to you thank you i like to know like i'm here i'm trying to build
stuff so might as well get involved you know and like i come from more of like the normie world
where like all of this crypto stuff is i mean it's not brand new but it's not like i haven't
been here around for like years and years and years so like i have a different perspective on
it more like the newbie normie perspective so like i don't know i feel like i kind of get
when people like join in or have questions especially like with the other side and stuff
like because i've probably had every issue there's been to have and figured it out.
So, it's easier for me to, like, help people and explain stuff because I kind of went through it.
So, there's no point in making people struggle if you can help them.
A natural welcome order. I i mean that's amazing yeah that's a beautiful attitude
to have and uh we love having you as part of this community it's so cool um and yeah i'm i'm excited
to dig into some of the stuff that you've been pushing the other balls community and it's cool to see uh who's been helping along as well
yeah next weekend we're uh dino ponds he's a fellow ape too he's gonna be putting on a little
school for you guys for everyone oh i know him it's a good dude it's a good dude yeah so he's
gonna be running the dino ball school of soccer for for the other side while I'm at work all weekend.
So he's going to teach everyone the ball mechanics because there's actually a lot there.
It's not just hitting the ball.
Dupes, I think like you're purple purple and you you offset two scammers at least so you kind of
like the the anti-scammer like you're the builder you're the doer they flock to me though that's
that's good that's good i attract them all i guess it's easier to expose them then because
i seem to be a magnet for them but everything's locked up on my ledger
it's all safe finally did it nobody's i don't think you have a purple background i mean what
background is that i'm pretty sure and i gotta tell you because when we welcome in new club members i look at each ape and i and i'm i got the i got these the backgrounds
down pretty good i'm pretty sure you have a new punk blue background okay then i'm safe
you're safe well i'm safe you hear that
You hear that?
Confirm.
Verified.
New punk blue.
Pretty sure it's a new punk blue.
But yeah, it's cool to see
there's a lot of help and assistance
out there within the community right now.
it kind of feels like a chain
to where you buy a Bored A board ape we welcome you on the timeline
we spend the time to host these spaces and bubbles to get to know you we tap in and find out your
interest you you do all the basic necessities You get rewarded with a package that is put together by apes.
You go off and you play soccer with dupes or you play other games with the guys.
You join a class that Tropical is hosting that teaches you MML.
There's just so much support and assistance within our community right now.
It just feels like a great time for people to join the club.
And I mean, that's definitely true when you look at the numbers of people we've welcomed
in just this year alone.
I think last year we welcomed just a little over 600,
if I'm not mistaken, or maybe it was 1,000.
I don't know.
But we're on track to break that record again already this year.
And the stories that we hear are very common,
and it's I finally had enough to get an ape and and did so so i don't know it just
feels like a it feels like we have a really great ladder of support and help um from people that
are just like leading in the community yeah i think i think with the market the way it's been
it opened up the door for a lot of us and a lot of us like a
lot of these new apes are actual like community members from the other side that we've met so
like i got mine late december but that kind of started this whole chain reaction that like
more and more people in the game ended up getting apes um So it's been kind of cool to see, like,
a lot of people already in there, like,
coming into the club, too,
because they're already active on the timeline.
They're active in the game.
So, like, the new community members that are coming in
are already, like, very active in the space, too.
already like very active in the space too world domination
hey law i got a question for you and maybe it's a little bit of a building in public about the
mandatory quests so the first one it says attend attend a welcome Wednesday space and introduce yourself.
And so now that we're doing also bubbles weekly in the other side, and those are usually later at night, maybe more friendly to West Coast time.
Is that, like, is that, would that fulfill that requirement if they attended one of those and introduced themselves?
Yeah, I mean, I'd say so.
But I'm glad you brought this up because there is only one way you can earn your cupcake badge.
And right now, you can only earn your cupcake badge by coming to the Twitter space.
And, you know, there's more people on Twitter, more people.
It's easier accessible, easier to kind of tap into while you're on the go.
So we try to keep Twitter spaces like something really special and,
and unique. Like we always have doing them once a month, um,
getting everybody together.
But the bubbles is kind of more of an intimate experience, right? And I'm trying to do them at different times just so we can connect with more people in different time zones and stuff like that.
But to answer your question,
I would say either or for that particular quest.
You can join the bubble or the space.
Yeah, definitely.
You can, like if you come up in a space,
a Twitter space, you earn your cupcake badge
and that's kind of like you fulfill a mandatory quest
and then one of what we're kind of calling
the cupcake quests, which are kind of like an ass a mandatory quest and then one of what we're kind of calling the cupcake quests
which are kind of like an assortment of electives that you can do and so that's sort of like you're
doing two quests in one and i also believe like when you jump into other side does it create a
glyph wallet automatically so are you doing two quests in one with that just that one action i'm
just not 100 sure about that i would
assume it creates a glyph wallet for you when you create an account for for other side that seems
that seems correct yeah don't make extra cliff accounts just just keep the one if you make one
don't make extra ones because you're going to be spending hours trying to undo that.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
I think make as many as you want, but only connect your Twitter to one and use that one for other sites.
other side oh no bad bad security that's what i do i know i do too and it's not really the safest
No, bad, bad security.
That's what I do.
way uh to do the login if you're gonna sign up brand new for the other side just sign up with
an email that glyph wallet automatically connects to that email and then you could link whatever
other wallets you want to that glyph but sign up with an email it's just safer
and better to sign up with the email because i don't know how you're asking questions door um you know in a space that's very like
ai driven a lot of a lot of quests can kind of feel like you're on this alone
and for when we were coming up with these quest ideas, I wanted them to be like something that you did with us.
So it's like you're coming to the spaces,
you're asking questions,
you're in our group chats,
connecting with other people,
trying to complete these.
You're reaching out to the Welcome Apes
and we're with you every step, right?
So I wanted it to feel like it was that kind of an
experience, rather than
somebody just, like, sitting at home
trying to hurry up and complete these
quests as fast as they can.
Without
it being too, you know, like,
hard, and you do three or four
of them, and you're just like, screw this.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, definitely.
A hundred percent.
Like this is, this is, this is a journey.
We want to send people, really want to send people to boring security one-on-one.
And so if there's one kind of bottleneck here, it is Boring Security 101. And so definitely proof of enrollment, successful completion is probably the biggest
thing here. And we just, we really want people to officially learn to secure their apes. And
it's just every, you know, probably the past three or four weeks and
you know in our in our other side bubbles we've been we've been talking about that at length and
people have already been looking at dates for that and so that is something that people should
definitely jump on is try to attend and complete um and we'll definitely work with people who are
showing an effort to get the quest done.
And make sure, you know, if they're almost there, we're going to make sure you guys get there.
But yeah, that is the biggest bottleneck.
And kind of the thing we kind of debated on, was this too hard?
But, you know, we don't want this to be, you know, super easy.
Something that, you know, people can do with low effort. We want,
you know, community members who put in the work and really care about the community and really care about security, protecting their assets. We want to just give them a little something extra
here. And yeah, that is the point. We got some new heads up here uh jpz happy welcome wednesday how you doing bro
you there jpz yeah my fault bro is not next to my phone what's going on brother
just chilling man um tapping in with you seeing what you're up to you check out the site Not next to my phone. What's going on, brother? Just chilling, man.
Tapping in with you, seeing what you're up to.
You check out the site.
I know that you recently joined the club not too long ago.
You thinking about doing some of these quests, dude, and getting a welcome package?
To be honest, bro, I'm not completely sure what a welcome package is brother tell me what a welcome package is man so a welcome package is a package that we're gonna physically mail to you along
with some cool redeemables and discounts and stuff from within the community
that is a package put together by us and some partnered brands
to your door man just for being a participating member of the community
well how do i how do i uh
how do i do this package bro what i gotta do I got to do? You just got to do some quests
that are shown on our website, and then
show us some proof that you completed
these quests, and we'll mail it out
to you. You won't have to pay
anything. It's going to be paid for, and
you just got to
do the work.
Just fucking go.
What's the site called?
WelcomeApes.com
This is great.
This is actually really good.
Because we get to kind of troubleshoot
make Welcome Apes
accessible to everyone, right?
Just go through the simple
nitty gritties
WelcomeApes.com and then you go through the simple nitty gritties, welcomeapes.com. And then you go to
the welcome package section. JPZ, maybe check it out right now and see if you have any more
questions. Cause I think that would be helpful for everyone else too.
It is a good question. Like it is is a good question like what is the welcome package
what's in there like we're kind of like keeping it a little bit a little bit of a mystery um
is that we want to we want to want to keep it mysterious law like let people get them and like
like kind of like open it like like Christmas morning type of deal or.
Yeah. I mean, it's like,
I think I said a little bit earlier that it's something that will evolve,
you know, as we do it throughout the year.
But what we've started off with now,
I think we can at least say that there's a hat and there's a pen and
there's going to be some stickers.
And I don't know, Hoarder, maybe this is a good question for you. If you have any alpha you want to give away on the packages.
Hoarder, tell me some cookies are involved.
We can probably figure that out.
I think, you know, we definitely want to surprise people with some stuff that rotates out.
But in talking a lot, we had landed on the hats that I think a lot of people liked, the board hats that I had in Vegas.
So it's actually the last of those hats.
I might have a handful outside of what I've reserved for this welcome
package. So really a coveted item that I think you can
only pretty much get through now this package.
And then what we did was had the Welcome Apes logo customized and designed.
And I had a factory produce the pin for the Welcome Apes logo.
So it came out really cool.
And yeah, I'm ready to ship them out.
I've gotten a sneak peek.
I love that hat.
I love that hat, man.
It's really the best.
Just one of the best hats that anyone's ever made for the club.
I wear it.
I wear it every single day.
It's kind of ridiculous.
Like, I have like 30 hats and I'm like, I just keep wearing that same hat every day.
So if you could just make less good hats, that would be great.
My other hats are, they're getting upset, man.
Glad to hear that.
So yeah, no, it's, I've gotten a good feedback on it.
So really looking forward to the new apes kind of
uh seeing that and and getting their hands on it so i think they'll be happy and um i think there's
some other stuff from boy merch and uh some of our other friends uh french chocolate and um some
discounts too i believe right law for some other product like um ape water and things of like that nature
yeah so that'll be the the digital side of the package um you're gonna have some discounts
redeemables from our friends like friends chocolate ape beverages ape water um ape church Ape Water, Ape Church, and I think it's probably
good that...
Yeah, let's just say it.
Even from Yuga,
the Bored Ape official shop
as well.
If you see any
merch items on the Bored Ape official,
what do you call it? The store that's open all the time?
What's the term for that? Evergreen from the evergreen shop we got a little discount code for you guys
to uh pick up some official merch as well
so yeah hopefully that kind of answers your question jpezy on what the welcome package is and
uh how to get it and yeah man we'd love to see you uh you know these are things that you're
Things that you're probably already doing anyway.
probably already doing anyway and it's just a fun way to kind of
And it's just a fun way to kind of.
To, you know, to to get involved in what's going on and and get something cool from some apes.
What about you, A.D.?
I know you just picked up this this orange background ape recently.
We got a lot of orange up here tonight.
It must be an earlier in the day type of thing.
What are you thinking, man?
First off, welcome to the stage.
And how's it going?
Thank you, man.
Orange is definitely the alpha.
Orange background is definitely the alpha.
But yeah, man, I'm super excited.
I'm excited.
I actually just learned a lot in the last five minutes because i didn't know there was a welcome package uh i didn't i'd never been to the welcome
apes website so yeah i'm definitely checking out the quests and uh that's pretty dope it's pretty
dope that y'all do that so thank you to you and uh shout out to dupes you know you saw the post
i put up a post of my ape in the manchester kit. And you're like, yo, come check out Other Balls and come to the other side.
Man, I hadn't been in Other Side for a couple of months because I'd just been doing stuff, you know, kind of IRL and just was off Web3 for a little bit.
I went into Other Side and I was like, man, the amount that they built since I was last here, it was pretty dope.
And it blew me away.
And the whole event that you did with Other Balls was pretty dope.
So shout out to you. And yeah, shout out to everyone else who's here and everyone that's a
speaker so yeah thanks happy to be here feeling the welcome feeling the love for sure
you thanks for coming up i'm glad the website just launched today
so you haven't been missing anything
for a while
so this is all brand new
cool
you showed up on the right day
that's awesome
I just joined the club
I think it was Friday or Saturday
so it's been a couple days
it's been cool to just connect with everybody
and enjoy the club.
Yeah, I got to say, hey, D,
I think I wrote the message welcoming you to the club
and like the M2, I think, you know,
I love Mutants.
I love M2s.
But I love your ape.
It's a real piece of art, in my opinion, which, you know, we don't say that about all mutants.
But I just, I don't know, dude.
I feel like you have an eye.
This is a well-curated pick by you.
I don't know.
Were you waiting for this particular ape to like just be on sale were you
watching this one or did you just like i'm gonna get an ape and you just saw this one and it kind
of clinched the deal like tell us about that like that process when you when you pick this guy up
yeah man for sure so um you know obviously i've been around for a little while and been into nfts
for a few years so obviously i've seen apes for a while and just had my eye on them and wanted one for a while.
But I always was attracted to the M2s.
I always felt like when I make that move, it's going to be with an M2.
It's not going to be with an M1.
So I was just kind of watching the M2 floor for a little while.
And to be honest, I wanted an orange background cause orange is that,
that, you know, the alpha, like I said before. So I want to make sure I got an orange background
and, you know, I just felt like this one, the color palette worked really well with the orange
background. You know, I like that, you know, it's kind of a nude, which is a little bit different.
Um, I wanted one that had a board ape family, you know, and so it does have a Bored Ape that's associated with it.
It's a dope Bored Ape, you know, so I just felt like everything really lined up and pulled the trigger, you know.
So it was an exciting process. It was a process that probably unfolded over a couple of days.
and you know I was just excited that I was able to take the opportunity.
And, you know, I was just excited that I was able to take the opportunity.
I love that. I love that. So you've been in this space for a couple years. I'm sorry I'm not
familiar with you. Maybe we have crossed paths before and my old brain doesn't remember.
Yeah probably not. You know what have you like what have been up to the past few years and kind of how did how did
like how did the space like funnel you towards the club in 2026 um so i would say i you know for me
it started with with crypto and i've been kind of in and out of crypto since maybe 2018, 2017, sometime around there. And then kind of got into NFTs probably like two years ago
and just literally had no idea what I was doing, like was doing crazy, stupid stuff on base.
And then kind of got into Doge for a little while from there. And one of the people that was kind
of in the Doge community that kind of had put me on originally introduced me and my brother to the STK project, which was an ape chain project.
And there were some board apes that were basically the kind of managers and the community members and part owners of that community, the STK community
on Ape Chain. So I was big into that community for a while. Those are the Unvault guys,
you know, Ernest and Aaron. So I was big into that community for a while. I have a one-on-one,
a one-of-one STK and, you know, a bunch of dolls and stuff like that. So, you know,
from there, just started to branch out more
into other Ape Chain projects, Gs and Gobs and things like that
and just got more involved and did the spotlight stuff.
So all those things were kind of the funnel
that were pointing me toward the club, to your point earlier.
And then, like I said, just kind of things changed at work.
I actually got a promotion, which is good in some ways.
But, you know, I got really busy and just kind of had to put my head down for a little while starting in like maybe December.
So I was away for a little while and then, you know, was able to grind.
And luckily some things worked out.
So I was able to come back in with the bang and get my M2, you know, that I kind of always wanted.
So that's a little bit of the history.
Yeah, definitely very familiar with Aaron and Ernest of STK and Uppdall fame.
We co-hosted an event with Aaron back in Lisbon.
You know, I actually think shout out to my guy Cap down there.
I think those two guys might be on his Coffee with Captain show tomorrow morning, 8 a.m. Eastern.
Got to give my buddy some love down there.
But yeah, man, it's great to hear your story.
I just, man, M2 is the alpha.
I'm an M2 guy myself.
I got to get myself an M2 again.
But yeah, definitely inspired by your pick.
Thanks, man. Yeah, I'm having fun with it so far. It's cool to, you know, I play around with,
you know, doing AI prompts with art and stuff like that and just making fun stuff and silly stuff.
And, you know, I'm just looking forward to having a new character to play with and being the other
side with and represent. So definitely a forever ape for me. And, you know, hopefully I can grind it out some more over the next year
and then get my board ape.
AD, I also want to welcome you.
Huge welcome.
And before I got rugged, I wanted to also say what a fire M2 mutant you've got there.
Shout out golden fur.
The golden fur looks beautiful on the orange background, by the way.
No beef there.
But yeah, it's awesome.
And I like to ask this question of the newbies.
He's a really cool mutant.
And if you were to do anything with the IP,
even if you're just entertaining ideas,
what do you think he would sell?
What would he be the face of?
Ooh,
that's a good question.
well,
probably not clothes cause he's nude.
so I would think probably some sort of maybe, uh, I don't know. I really like when people,
so I, I, my, my, my sort of day job is I I'm in sort of software sales and specifically in
hospitality. And I love what a lot of people have done with kind of the restaurants and the food and,
and that sort of things and sort of the retail and the cannabis.
So I would think it would probably be something in that kind of space.
So probably some sort of consumer good or food service type of business, I would say.
Cool.
Yes, smart. Now you're talking my language.
Love that.
Talk to law yeah I was definitely playing around
on the dashboard with the board bagels
and I love bagels
in real life as well so that's an example
of like if there wasn't already
someone in the bagel game it might have been bagels
big up to board bagels
maybe there's a future collab
in order there
there you go
there you go
yeah we can figure something out
I was about to say doesn't order do that
board bagels
yeah it's one of mine
he's a man of many bagels tell you what but um hold on did you guys hear that
oh my gosh you guys i'm in danger i just got a message from someone i don't know they're asking me to join their discord server and another message from someone asking me to trade my ape for something
more valuable i've never met this person before but they are in the other side and verified in
discord drew you're up here this evening should i click the link that they just sent me and join their Discord?
Hold on, I think X is bugging.
I'll be right back.
Dang it, dude, I thought I had him.
We'll get back to Drew here in a little bit here, but AD, dude, thanks for coming up.
Introducing yourself.
I love your orange background um that took a lot for me to say was it earnest that convinced you of the orange ways
by the way i was curious about that um partly uh i would say he had something to do with it um
but also the college that i went to was also orange.
That was their colors.
So I've also kind of been, you know, orange has a place in my heart,
a special place in my heart, you know, for that reason as well.
So there's a lot of factors that led up to it, I would say.
But Ernest, I'll definitely shout out Ernest for sure.
I would love to get a tweed suit, Bored Ape suit If I could be on that wave
Oh my god that would be
Amazing an orange background tweed
Suit can you even imagine
Mega swag I mean the man's
Got orange background tattooed on his
Chest but uh right
Oh my gosh you guys
It happened again
I just got a message from someone
I don't know asking me to
join your discord server and another message from someone asking me to trade my ape for something
more valuable plus some ethereum um i've never met this person before but they are in the other
side and they're verified in discord drew nft drew is up here with me today should i click the link that they sent me and and do this
trade if they have a uh byc pfp then you should entrust them implicitly uh they obviously did not
right click save uh having a board 8 pfp uh means that they are not a scammer. And you should go ahead and trade on a non-official platform and ignore all the warnings.
Oh, do I detect some sarcasm?
I actually think it's really funny.
I actually think it's really funny.
These guys are still...
I just landed from a plane.
I just landed from a plane.
These guys or gals, scammers,
are literally still going off in the Discord.
It's actually very funny.
Don't trust them, folks.
So we could see.
So let's see.
Risconlev has had three username chains,
two of which are rugs.
The Cunning Ones has had 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
10, which was one similar to the rug for RiskOnLev.
FoxyNFT has had 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
10 username chains. One eight days ago. One nine days ago. Nine days ago, that was a rug.
And then...
Yeah.
I mean, all jokes aside,
I'm glad we're kind of talking
a little bit about this, Drew, because
scammers can be... They can take
their time and really
act like they're
somebody just in the community you're getting to
know you and you know that's one of the it's one of the tactics that they use and um we've seen it
on the other side already the social engineering so definitely be careful like yeah social engineering
i think in the game too that will say like oh i'm friends with this person
so and so and you're like okay so you talk to them and nope do not yeah when when the market's down
and sediment's kind of poopy which you know depending on where you're at it somewhat is right
now uh i say this multiple times the program we say this before but i think a scam sniffer
or slow miss or someone,
you know, on average, a scammer will spend 43 days
getting to know you and being your friend
until they actually attempt their first
like social engineering scam on you.
That average is actually longer
given the sentiment if it's down,
because then there's less people online,
less people active,
and people actually pay attention
to what they're clicking.
Versus if it's a bull market,
then scammers don't need to necessarily dedicate so much time without immediate return because they're just spraying and praying and getting unfortunate individuals. So, you know,
I think it's interesting. I mean, this is just like the evolution of scams where, you know,
I have a hint of who this is, you know, it doesn't take much for them to control four or five
accounts, make it seem like they have, you know, it doesn't take much for them to control four or five accounts,
make it seem like they have, you know, four or five individuals that are really pumping up a project or, you know, a community-based initiative. They seem super engraved in the
Bored Ape ecosystem. And like for them, this is value and time well spent because in the event
that they do score big. And we see this really
particularly only with board apes and actually pudgy penguins too, because when they score,
they score big, right? I don't know what the floor price is. I don't ever look at floor price,
but I'm sure it's above 10 grand. Like, yeah, you know, I mean, 10 grand per in 43 days,
assuming I just get one victim. Like, you know, that's, that's pretty good if you break it down
to an hourly rate and how much they actually have to do.
And especially where a lot of this is just automated.
So you really, really, really have to pay attention.
I mean, I think some of the easiest things in the world are if you go to the X profile, and we're talking about X, like click on the start date.
It'll show you how many name changes there are.
It doesn't show you the usernames.
I have a backend tool that shows that.
If anyone wants to DM me with any names, I'm more than happy to share with you the names.
But like, you know, if they have more than two name changes,
I mean, that's kind of weird.
If their start date is like pre-2015, it's a bot account.
I can buy a blue check account that has had major,
major, major historical activity for $10 a piece.
They'll typically have a whole entire feed
of a board eight PFP,
some weird or no bio.
And then you can't really trust
on mutual followers anymore
because they are getting like very engraved
and trying to manipulate welcome apes
and getting engraved and doing follow for follows
and stuff like that.
So mutuals are kind of out of there.
But for the feed,
they'll have just a lot of random retweets,
like a ton, a ton, a ton of random retweets.
And then if you want to spend the minute
where if you just literally scroll to the bottom,
you'll see that there's no original post
or the last retweet was from like earlier this year,
yet the account is from like 2015.
I mean, I could say this on a public space,
like scammers know, we know.
It's just people don't take the 30 seconds
of due diligence to go check
because they just implicitly trust that if there's a BYCPFP,
it has some mutuals, everything's good.
And, you know, they aren't using Pocket Universe.
They haven't taken a board and security class.
They have everything in a hot wallet.
And everything's grand and great until, unfortunately, something happens.
And then there's no 911.
You can't reverse the blockchain.
You can't call in Garga to be like, hey, sir, can you get my eight back?
Or, you know, quick, can you make some magic happen?
Like, that's just unfortunately not how it happens.
Hey, Garga.
Just wondering.
Drew, thank you so much for coming up and putting us on game.
I don't know if you've had a chance because you said you're flying,
but we announced the website today and our welcome package experience,
and we're making it mandatory for people to take Boring Security 101 to qualify.
I just wanted to mention that and just how important it is to be caught up with this kind of stuff.
Because it can be pretty convincing, especially when you want to not assume that everyone's a scammer.
Yeah, shit like this will happen.
This is not the first time that apes have been targeted for this kind of thing.
And I promise you there will probably... not the first time that apes are have been targeted for this kind of thing and i promise
you there will probably i'm 99 i'm surprised it hasn't happened yet where there's going to be a
welcome apes uh replica of somebody impersonating us that reaches out to apes um not trying to give
fucking scammers any ideas right now but it's just it's so important to be safe
and and learn how to keep your shit safe and and all that stuff so shout out to drew and all the
work that he does for boring security and and for us the day one uh committee member yeah that's
that's awesome the website's up now i haven't checked it out yet super awesome to hear that
taking a one-on-one class is mandatory and just uh you know for everyone like just to really emphasize you know
security is not a one-time ordeal like just because you take the one-on-one class that gives
you the knowledge and you just have to practice that every single day um and yeah these gamers
are they're getting you know damn good i mean you know what happened to adam you know what happened
to tiffany fong like you, it happens to everyone, right?
And some of it is very easy basic stuff to us
that have been in the space for six years,
or some of it seems like the most complex thing
in the world because the fundamental understanding
and knowledge just isn't there.
Like I think I saw the post the other day where,
unfortunately, some person got drained for 20 grand
and they were blaming Ledger
when they just gave their
seed phrase away and you know like didn't have the understanding of you know like they were making
the correct conscious choice of of using a ledger but they didn't understand like just because you
use a ledger if you give your seed phrase away it doesn't matter so like knowledge is power and
this is stuff that practices every day all this moves a mile a minute. I have to go pick up my rental car really quick,
so I'm going to drop here in a second.
But it's, yeah, I mean, it's unfortunate.
You know, there's some things that are cooking in the background
that hopefully I can announce soon that, of course, you know,
the ape fan will first dibs on.
That's why I've been a little quiet lately.
But, yeah, I mean, it's just something that you've always got to stay on your toes.
And again, if you aren't sure, ask, right?
DMs are the wild west.
It's crazy stuff.
And especially lately, if Coinbase or Google calls you about some security incident, hang
Like, gosh dang, ain't no one calling you.
I'm sorry if it doesn't make
you feel important, but just, you know, just be aware. Just think.
Dort, Marav, anything for Drew before he takes off?
Thank you. You know, thank you, Drew, for keeping us safe,
Thank you, Drew, for keeping us safe, calling out scammers.
We need more people like you in the community,
and we're so grateful to have you.
Yeah, definitely, Drew.
You're a godsend man.
I'm looking forward to what you're cooking.
But yeah, thankful for your help as always.
And just reviewing all this stuff.
You have like tabs on all sorts of information that many people don't.
And that goes a long way in helping us kind of make some of the tougher calls when we're welcoming apes and kind of vetting.
And so like it's
it's invaluable like but the space doesn't deserve you good so um thank you for for still
endure enduring it despite that yeah drew thanks bro we were giving you a little bit of love earlier
um when i was when i was going over the website and some of the early
days so thanks again man be safe out there and uh yeah we'll catch you soon man
i noticed that uh spendy came up here with his hand up and i want to tap in with spend
see what's going on man happy welcome wednesday
and happy welcome wednesday man congrats on getting the site live thanks for having me up And I want to tap in with Sven and see what's going on, man. Happy Welcome Wednesday.
Happy Welcome Wednesday, man.
Congrats on getting the site live.
Thanks for having me up.
I just wanted to echo off, you know, something you were doing a second ago in terms of scam safety.
I don't know if this is going to work, but let's try it live.
Oh, my God. I've just entered the AbeCoin BAYC other side Discord.
And out of nowhere, an admin DM'd me first.
When I click on their profiles in server, it shows they will never DM first.
Hmm. I don't know if this is legit or a scam. What should I do?
The answer is very simple. Mods, admins will never DM you first.
We will never ask for any sensitive information. We will never ask you to click any sketchy links.
If you are in a conversation with somebody that reached out to you first claiming to be an admin in any of our official servers, please be vigilant.
Please use official Twitter pages to verify. If you're talking to someone, head over to Twitter, hit the affiliate tab, scroll over until you find their name with the badge it's likely myself it's likely lost maybe you're talking to james maybe you're talking to pm all of these folks have a badge
for their affiliate organization so make sure you verify make sure you check
and please stay extra safe on discord
dude that's a good one and i don't know how they do it man like, even if you, like, open a ticket, it's like they know.
And then you get a DM from these scammers.
Discord's crazy, dude.
But good call.
I'm glad you came up here and said that, Spen.
And, yeah, dude, thank you so much.
Of course, man.
Thanks for having me up.
I did want to soft shield something, if that's okay with you guys.
It's something in the AbeCoin ecosystem, AbeChain ecosystem, from one of our teammates and builders.
And it has utility for BAYC and MEYC holders, if that's okay.
Yeah, just send the fee to lawofthesaw.eth, and you can go right ahead.
I will be paying you another side of avatars.
Thank you, sir.
And yeah, I really just wanted to highlight the new Clutch Perps platform that's live. Clutch Markets, Simple Farmer, they went ahead and put together a really robust platform for traders, for DGN traders, for, you know, swappers, for NFT hunters. Anything you want to do on-chain can be done on the new Clutch Markets perp site,
whether you're trading, whether you're swapping. The big key there is on this platform, when you
sign up, you get to choose a community you boost. When you boost, that means your trading fees,
your swap fees, any type of fees that you generate on the platform will be allocated to buying the
floor of that collection that you're boosting.
So it's, you know, a lot of us probably swap via Relay, swap via Uniswap,
you know, use any other tool to just, because it's convenient.
But, you know, those platforms are amazing.
They've supported us and, you know, they make life easier.
But if we're being honest, all those fees go into people's pockets, right?
And through this new Clutch Market platform, those fees that you are generating through your money that you're putting through the platform go to the communities that you want to boost.
So it's really unique, and Simple Farmer is always around.
If you have any questions, if you want to get in there, get active, check out the Clutch Market page on X or reach out to him.
He has an ApeCoin affiliate badge as well.
So a lot of dope stuff, and I would say stay tuned.
A bunch more BAYC, MEYC utility coming from the Chef's Cooking over here.
That's crazy, dude. crazy dude so you're telling me that instead of getting liquidated on hyperliquid and and walking
away with nothing i can get liquidated over here and have it pump my nft bags let's go that's
exactly it yeah that's what i've been doing no that's cool very cool i did have a chance to see
that uh before starting up the show today and that's very cool shout out to
the clutch for building cool shit
hey man thanks for giving me the space to share about it means a lot
well but well while we still got you up here spend um anything that you're excited about this
week dude i know we just launched the website and you
probably haven't had a chance to see it but um yeah dude what do you got cooking this week
anything fun i noticed that you actually have a little plot of land in this new mml experience
that other side has put us on and there's like a statue of your ape in the middle of it standing up
with his arms out um what the heck is that dude what's going on over there yeah i think you know
a couple things um first and foremost i have had a little bit of time to click through the site i
think it's it's super dope i love just the aesthetic feel of it like it feels like you're
experiencing the clubhouse uh i'm looking through like the community resources.
I think this is great.
This is something that we,
I think probably have been missing for the longest,
right?
A one,
one stop shop for all your links that you need partners,
all official links.
I love this.
And then just diving through the new members.
Is that something that's live now?
Are you guys? Yeah. guys yeah so these are these most
recent these are the most recent club members and as we welcome people on the timeline it'll get
updated and right below that is the ape of the month and that's kind of so every month we're
gonna pick out an og club member who's achieved something, done a good deed.
It could be any fun reason that we feel should be celebrated.
And we decided to start it off with Peter Parker, who Dort and I have kind of claimed rookie of the year of last year.
And we thought it'd be a good kickoff for Ape of the Month.
I absolutely love that i do love how you also hyperlinked the tweets uh which then now for tweets that i have missed
it's a one-stop shot for me to just click here and give them a retweet that i shouldn't have
missed earlier in the week uh ape of the month is fucking incredible i mean peter parker he's
been fucking crushing it's been active in all the in real life events um other side as well i do
want to say fuck peter parker i think it would be a shame if I didn't
say that. Peter Parker on top. He's great. And yeah, I think, you know, just personally, we just
rolled out Blackbeard season two. So if you play Blackbeard season one, we appreciate you.
There is a new look to the game on this season. It will be about two weeks.
I need to hard confirm, maybe 10 days.
But the main change in this season is last season you were going
and knocking out hunts set up by the Ape Chain team.
This season, every user can create their own hunt for users to create.
When you create a hunt, you can delegate those hunt
completions to a community. So like you're setting up a hunt, you're saying, oh, I want it to go
towards BAYC. Anybody that completes this hunt, those points or that stat will go towards the BAYC
section. You can also create hunts that don't tie to a community and then allow users to select the
community they want those points to go to. Another big difference is the scoring and prize distribution. Last season,
you know, sweeps kind of rolled out over the leaderboard. There are no leaderboards in this
season. There are stats. So the intern is keeping their eyes peeled. We're looking for creativeness.
We're looking for uniqueness. We're looking for people that show up every day. So I would say,
you know, just try to dominate that stat board any way you can.
Make it fun.
Don't make it bland.
And I think that puts you in the best spot for possible rewards for this season.
So super fun.
It's a new take on it.
As always, if you run into any issues validating any images, like, oh, I'm pretty sure I'm in the right spot, X, Y, Z,
no need to min 100 pictures.
Come into the 8-Point Discord.
Open that ticket. Let me know where you're stuck at, and. XYZ. No need to min 100 pictures. Come into the Ape Point Discord. Open that ticket.
Let me know where you're stuck at, and somebody on the team will look to move you forward.
I see Law laughing.
I'm pretty sure he might have.
He used that a couple times last season, which he should have.
You're definitely talking to me on that one.
But, dude, Blackbeard's Bounty.
We got Welcome Package Experience.
We got the render pool.
There's a lot to do being an ape these days, dude.
So love to see it, man.
Love to hear it.
Love to see it.
Love to be part of it.
And yeah, dude, stoked for everything.
Spend, I also want to say what's up.
Man, almost five years of IRL meetups seeing this guy. Big love for you and excited to see you tenfold. And I think that's, you know, maybe I've said this a million times, but that's the magic of the club, right? Is you get to connect with folks online, you know, you work with folks,
you connect with folks, you trade with folks, you lose with folks, you get wrecked with folks,
all the things you do in crypto. And then it, you know, bubbles down to whether it's fuck it parties
or community side events or the official 8Fest that helps you, you know, just bring all that together and tie names to 8-Faces and, you know,
I think puts a bow on this whole community experience.
So, yeah, I mean, can't wait for the next one.
No 8-Fest Alpha to share.
I see Baron down there.
Don't boink me.
I'm just excited for the next one.
Which will be in?
On the moon.
In the meantime,
you can come check out Spend and Lost on the soccer field.
Team Lost Never Pickle
is in for season three.
We in there,
and we still have never lost a pickle
Google it
That's crazy dude
You guys got cheat codes for the other side already
It's true they never lost a pickle
They lost lost sometimes
But not the pickle
Well you know
We're gonna get the lost soon here
Who's up here as well but before we get the lost
we have crypto cam who joined us up here and i want to tap in with crypto cam say happy welcome
wednesday and and say what's going on man how are you oh gm gm gm welcome wednesday what is good
everybody you know i saw the website i'm super geeked about that i was
looking through things at first i was all frustrated like man fuck i'm never gonna be
able to get all this shit done then i had to go back and read through it again and said oh you
only had to do five of the other ones i was like oh man okay that's that's more manageable i was
like god damn that's a lot of stuff never getting this fucking hat but uh yeah
i know i know it can kind of look like a lot and um we try to keep it like things that people are
are typically doing or should be doing right but um that's some good feedback i'm so i'm glad you
kind of you took a second look and you're like oh okay okay i can yeah i missed it i missed the first
the first thing where it said the five of the additional ones you know i oh okay okay i can yeah i missed the i missed the first the first thing
where it said the five of the additional ones you know i saw i thought i just read mandatory
and i was kind of skimming and i just i was like okay we're all mandatory i started looking i was
like fuck sakes that's a lot of stuff but no that's reasonable all that stuff you said is stuff
that's you know normally doable so i'm excited to be doing that pick my muting up a couple weeks back Maybe two weeks now. I don't know. You know how time goes here, but uh, yeah, got the orange background
But uh, yeah, super excited again in this with this welcome apes that it's nice to have everything all in one place
Because I'm kind of like all right, where do I need to go now?
Where's the main site? Where can I get some merch at?
Do I need to make my own stuff this and
that and like i was just looking over the website just like you know i've been sitting here kind of
waiting to talk i'm like oh oh yeah i'm ordering this and i'm like i'm about to order that and you
know so yeah super nice appreciate that uh but uh yeah i wanted to come up introduce myself so i
could uh check that off my uh you know get my screenshot real quick and get ready to make a post about that.
Check that off my list.
Appreciate you guys.
Well, you're doing it right, my friend.
Definitely glad you came up and introduced yourself because I don't believe that we've had a chance to welcome you yet.
Saying that you picked up your ape just a couple weeks ago.
I see the page isn't following you.
So we're going to have to get a post out there if you already haven't.
Saying like, I just joined the best club on the internet.
Tag welcome mates.
Yeah, I'll make a couple more.
I'll make a couple more for sure.
I've been making them.
I'm mixing it with everything else.
But yeah, you'll definitely be seeing my posts and get tagged in them for sure, for sure.
Let's go, man.
So were you, did, one question for you real quick.
You mentioned orange background.
Was, is this like something that just came with the ape
or was it, did it have to be orange?
I was kind of looking for orange background.
I mean, i've been around
i've been in crypto since 2019 so i was kind of kind of kind of looking for orange yeah i respect
it and it kind of goes with my kind of goes with my with my with my logo too so it was like just
made sense you know what i mean i was like yeah, yeah, goes with the IP. You feel me?
So after taking a look at the quest,
are you thinking about giving these a whirl and getting your welcome package?
hell yeah.
I'm all about merch.
So everybody who knows me, I know a lot of guys there know me.
I'm all about merch.
Yeah.
So I'm definitely,
definitely going to be getting my package.
You're definitely going to be sending that out to me.
I don't care to dox myself.
I wish someone would come up and visit.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
We could have tea and everything.
But yeah, so I'm definitely getting that package for sure.
Well, you know, one of the Cupcake Quest is supporting a regional club near you and one
of the things that we always like to recommend and tell new club members about is that there are
regional clubs around so you know if you're lucky enough to be living in a particular city that
already has a regional club up you can definitely make it out to an event and and meet other club members and we definitely
think everyone should and you know maybe maybe you don't have a regional club in your area you
start one fucking you know get the show going but uh yeah we highly recommend you do have tea
with some apes for sure for sure and uh yeah i don't know i doubt anybody's in my area but i do travel around
a lot to you know a lot of different events i'm in the in and out of new york city all the time so
already connected with a lot of apes there so yeah definitely see what they got going on maybe
tap into one of those probably easiest for me crypto cam i also wanted to say welcome.
Really cool that you've joined.
You've joined at a great time too.
I feel like we're building up to the IRL Clubhouse coming soon to Miami.
And it sounds like you're fairly local.
So that's really awesome.
And really cool mutant.
I like the vibes. i like the orange the
the angry eye the angry fiery eyes and the the lava on the skin um really good combo
and uh yeah yeah it's awesome to have you um can you share with us uh you said you're driving your IP forward, you're in crypto since 2019.
What are you hoping to do with your ape?
Well, funny you should ask that.
I'm working on this little project and we need it.
My ape's going to be our mascot because we needed an ape IP for the project so we could represent on it.
So me and a friend of mine are doing the world's largest crypto mural.
We're actually going to be obtaining seven Guinness World Records this year with it.
And so we're actually, you know, we need to put crypto IP up on the wall and include it into the mural.
So that was one of the main reasons I was like, we can't do this mural and not have an ape.
So like if I, Lord forbid, I don't connect with anybody, nobody wants to be featured on the wall.
We got to have something of our own.
So that was one of the pushing decisions to buy the ape.
I was like, you know what?
I'll buy an ape.
He'll be the mascot and
we'll just run with it. And then we just start pushing out content and, you know, apes support
apes, you know, also I said, and they'll help get the word out about our project as well.
You know, once we start pushing that around, you know, so, um, yeah, we're doing the world's
largest crypto theme mural, uh, coming soon and you'll be seeing my ape on it. And, uh,
if anybody else wants theirs or their projects or anything else,
you can hit me up.
Hell yeah.
Wow, that's actually insane.
That's really cool.
Are you connected with Rock Soul at all?
I am.
Rock is a very good friend of mine.
I was in Be Friends since Mint.
I ran one of the community pages for about three years over there on
Instagram with Jeremy.
And yeah, I actually have a painting of Rocks
downstairs in my fireplace room that he did
back in 21 or 22 at the VFriends Miami meetup.
I won the main prize at that,
and it was a big-ass painting that he had done.
And I have a whole shit.
I have a lot of stuff from Rock.
I have a lot of stuff from him,
hats, paintings, stuff like that, most definitely.
Oh, that's really cool.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to connecting with everybody.
I do know a lot of people in this space,
but a few people that are on the outer edges of the circles,
you know what I'm saying, that I'm sure we've crossed paths or whatnot. But you'll definitely
see me in the city and in Miami and here and there, a little bit of everywhere. I got a lot
going on. If you need help with anything, tap in. I'm more than willing to help out. I'm big on the
production side. I worked with Red Man for about
four years. I put on the National Cannabis Festival in DC last year. We had 30,000 people there.
So I do a lot of high-end production work. So yeah, anything I can help with,
I'm here for the community. And everybody that knows me, VidaTV, everybody, you know, Rock, everybody knows me, Machiavelli can vouch that I do what I say and I am who I am, you know.
You know, Cam, welcome to the club.
Tremendously excited.
There's kind of another South Florida ape in our midst.
I'm here near Lauderdale, so I'm sure we're going to cross paths real soon.
Big fan of Redman, big fan of Method Man, big fan of the Rockwilder. I love that song, man.
Always get me pumped up back in the day. But yeah, I love your ape.
And what can I say, man? You are one of the guinea pigs that is going to go through the Welcome Hack Edge program.
So excited to kind of work with you on that and make sure it makes sense and help you get through it.
So any questions after the space, hit up Welcome Apes, hit me up, hit Loll up, Marav.
We'll do our best to just give you guidance and get you through.
But yeah, excited that you're excited to get the hat.
It is a legit hat.
I wouldn't just say that.
I have discerning tastes about hats.
So I look forward to that.
Hell yeah, I'm geeked.
And man, thank you guys for putting this on and, you know,
giving a place for apes to congregate and just, you know,
kind of get to know one another
and tap in the resources in the community.
This is fantastic, fantastic.
And like I said, anybody listening needs help with anything,
the production in, marketing in, business in,
hit me up for sure.
Let's go, Cam.
Yeah, man, feel free to reach out to us for any questions on the quest and anybody listening in that's interested in the quest uh shoot us a dm we can get you in our group chat
as well if you want to be part of the welcome apes committee group chat where we hang out
help people out with the questions and have a good time but um i saw jpz had his
hand up i don't know jpz is that something you still want to bump into or or what's going on
oh yeah i just wanted to ask a question right here i was looking at the uh the website for
welcome apes package and it says um it says delegate your shadow to a warm wallet to warm wallet what does
that mean it's a good question so um are you familiar with wallet delegation
yeah bro that's that's how uh that's how i got that first date bro the one with the the party
one one of my homies delegated
oh that's right dude i forgot you were that guy um so apes have this really cool piece of tech
called shadow that moves when you delegate so on the delegation xyz website there's a shadow option to move the ape shadow over
it basically just means
set up a delegate wallet with your shadow
moved over to a warm wallet
or hot wallet
whatever you'd like to call it
so I'm delegating my wallet to myself
yeah you would delegate your cold wallet.
Like you're, you know, if you have a ledger,
you would set it up so you have your ape protected on your cold wallet
and your shadow set up on your hot wallet
that's connected to things like the other side.
Or, you know, what mine really came in handy for is for ApeFest last year,
I had a Metaamask wallet set up
on my phone that had my shadow delegated on it so i was able to get there was like there was
airdrops going on there were you could scan uh qr codes to get like ape chain nfts which normally you would never want to do right like you get scammed but
like you have a metamask setup that you can prove you you like can prove that you authentically have
that board ape but it's it's a lot safer because it's not your cold wallet um hopefully that was explained good Law I just shared
I just shared a post you made
is this the right one the one where you kind of
explain how to set up
the shadow
yeah
okay I recently made a video
that shows you how to do it
in one minute since we were doing these quests
I thought it might come in handy
for people that are trying to bang it out.
Good call.
Yo, I got it.
I see it right now.
Yo, right on.
Appreciate that.
Yeah, I'm going to work on that package, bro.
I need that package.
Let's go, man.
Let us know if you have any more questions or
stuff like that.
But we're coming to Lost. Lost, my friend.
Thanks for being so patient. How are you doing today? Happy Welcome Wednesday.
Happy Welcome Wednesday. Beautiful. I'm feeling
extremely welcomed. I'm feeling great. Congratulations on
the launch of the website. Been looking forward to it. Looking forward to continuing to support
important people to that website because it is a great resource aggregating other great resources
from the community. You absolutely love to see it. And why do I feel so welcomed? I think you know
why. Oh, I think you know exactly why. There's orange everywhere. Everywhere you look, it's orange.
A lot. You know, he loves the orange backgrounds today.
And so I also love the orange backgrounds today and every day.
So, yes, welcome to my fellow orange background apes, the new ones.
Welcome to all the apes who joined this year.
And, you know, at Christmas time last year, the last quarter, whatever it's been,
welcome, welcome.
Get your cupcakes, get your package.
Yeah, I'm excited.
Spend hit all the calls to action.
So I am simply present, observing, taking notes,
a community member excited to be here.
But usually, if you missed it, if you're just joining,
if you didn't hear from Spend,
yeah, the MML world is live. There's a bunch of cool stuff going on in there. It's a new map. It's a new world. It's
a new place. It's a new medium. It's a new format for creators to show things and to create things
for us to experience new ways for us to experience the metaverse. Pretty cool.
Very interesting. Can't wait to see what you guys cook up in there
and what's already been cooked up
and will start to appear in there
from the people who already do have access.
And if you don't want to hang out in the sky,
it's on a sky deed.
If you don't want to go into the MML world
or you don't want to spend all your day in there,
you can hop over to the Nexus and back in the swamp.
And yeah, Blackbeard's Bounty Season 2 is now live. There's some
ominous text that's been pinned at the top of the ApeCoin account. Not all of it is ominous
though. There's about 100,000 ApeCoin up for grabs for you guys if you want to go play,
for players, for the communities. No public leaderboards, surprise reward mechanics.
You've never seen it.
It's things you've never seen before.
You're going to be shocked.
You're going to be amazed.
You're going to be appalled.
You're going to be disgusted.
Hopefully not.
Hopefully not.
I think you guys will be happy.
Play the game.
There's only a couple things to do.
You know, you can make a hunt
or you can hunt the hunts
that others have created.
We made one quick and easy one.
That's really it.
That's all it is.
Be creative.
Have fun.
Do open up a ticket if you have any questions.
Same thing if you have questions about the MML.
Make sure you put your tickets in the right place.
If it's about the MML, you want access,
you're curious, you're broken, you're stuck.
That's the other side of Discord.
Blackbeard's bounty, the game.
That'll be the 8-coin Discord.
If you get lost,
Spend will help you find your way anyway.
Yeah.
Yeah. Thanks for having me up here.
Hey, Lost. Thanks, man. I appreciate
you going over that because I was going to ask,
like, I have a T5
Sky that I've dedicated
to that's kind of going to be
where we experiment with
Welcome Apes, the home in
Other Side for Welcome Apes.
And so, yeah, I was just kind of curious,
like how a noob like me could, you know, kind of check out the MML stuff that's going on.
Do we have to demonstrate a proficiency to kind of get invited? I know there's been some talk about,
you know, kind of posting maybe things you're working on or things you aspire to do.
And maybe that's a way to kind of get invited into, you know, the first cohort of people that
are building with MML. Am I on the money there or how would people get involved with this? Just
besides opening a ticket in the other side Discord, is there something else they're
looking for here? No, I think you nailed it it you know the the level of proficiency definitely helps it's
it's obviously like you like you mentioned it's open to to unlimited pool of creators and and so
you know we we do have those talented people in the community that have you know sort of dedicated
their lives to to to being creative and and are very capable in Unreal Engine or in the studio or with AI or whatever it is.
They spent tens, decades of years in getting there.
So obviously, those people are able to really showcase that proficiency.
And that's not to say, though, that if you've seen Spend's builds,
Spend definitely doesn't have the 10 years of experience
and has sort of just been picking all of this up recently we've been learning together and and i think you know if
you didn't see it check out check out spend's page it's it's it's it's been shared by figgy it's um
it's it's on the apecoin page too if you scroll a little bit and and you can see the build that he
was able to create and so yeah if you're if you're creative and you know on the side you you've put
together some ideas maybe you've been waiting a long time and on the side, you've put together some ideas,
maybe you've been waiting a long time for this
and you've already got some models built out
or you go off now and create some models.
Yeah, it doesn't matter if you've got the experience or not.
If you've got the proficiency,
if you've got something cool, you've got the idea,
you've got something ready,
throw it in the ticket and yeah,
the team will take it from there.
And it's open right now. It's otherside.xyz, OS5 maker. You can go in there. There's like a
Coliseum. Spend's Bored Ape Disneyland is in there. There's a Stairway to Heaven.
Cinemas Movie Studio. All sorts of stuff from the community and people that you're hanging out
with in here every day. So yeah, definitely go in there, show some love, put it out on the timeline,
let people see it, experience it.
If you haven't yet, it's other side XYZ slash OS Vibe Maker.
And you can go there and read a little bit more about it too.
Wait, so I must miss that.
We can go explore and just walk around?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh shoot, that's awesome. Okay, I thought we can go explore and just walk around yeah yeah yeah shoot that's
awesome okay i thought we needed like a special invite just to do that no that's really cool okay
well i'm glad i asked i'm gonna check it out tonight and post some screenshots um it looks
like sven's been busy um he's he's he's been practicing i'm'm pretty impressed by the shares of what
he's been working on.
Kudos to you.
Much love, man.
Last thing.
Too late. Whatever. I already cut you off.
Just go to the other side page. They post that article.
If you're like Dort and you're lost, you haven't
seen it, it's open right now.
The other side team posted the article.
We love you, Spen. I didn't mean to cut you off. If you haven't seen it, it's open right now. The other side team posted the article. And, yeah.
We love you, Spen.
I love you, Spen.
Yeah, I didn't mean to cut you off.
I was trying to mute and then unmuted myself in that process. So I love Ape Disneyland.
Didn't think of that.
Now I need a bigger sign.
And, yeah, I think, you know, if you look at Cinema's article and then also the video from Tropical. Those are two really great guides on getting
started. Dore, to your point, everyone can enter the world, but there is a white-listed
group of Ape Chain team members, other side team members, some other side creators that can drop
objects live in the world at the moment. The team will be looking to expand that white-listed group
over time, but it's mainly for world stability, so people are
coming in and dropping in things that break the world in two seconds. So if you do want to get
ahead and learn, I am not a technical ape. Big shout out to the ApeCo team, Lost, Vi. They really
pushed me to start to get active in Open Claw and a lot of this AI stuff, and it feels like MML is a
step back. So you've probably heard the open call stuff. You're
like, oh man, that's overwhelming. MML is as simple as it can get. You pick your AI, LLM
provider, ChadGBT, Claude, whatever, you feed it the MML docs, and then you just start prompting it.
Hey, generate me code for an object like this. Generate me a basketball court. Generate me XYZ.
And of course, it's vibe coded. So you may have to drop it in the MML editor, get a view, retweak it.
But I would say if you're eager to learn, check out those guys. Check out those videos. Hop in.
Start making stuff with MML. If you do, open a ticket in the other side Discord and share. Just
drop screenshots of what you're building. The team will be going through open tickets in the other side Discord and expanding the
list of whitelisted users through that.
So if you have any questions regarding, you know, the MML, the AI stuff, anything, don't
hesitate to reach out to myself, Lost, anyone, you know, from the team.
We would love to help.
And yes, NGB Spen, the sexiest cheetah ape up here thank you sir
no thank you and yeah i would say you know i've been lucky enough to be a part of other sides
since mint day right and this is one of the most exciting experiences i've been a part of, you know, from start to finish, like being able to go from
ideation to asset to in other side, you know, it's been a dream. And I think now we're starting to
see, I do want to mention that this MML world is vastly different from the ODK. So this MML world
is a sky deed. It's one plot that we are allowing people to build on. The ODK is a much more game
dev heavy platform where you need more Unreal Engine skills. You need to know how to work on
Unreal Engine properly to work inside the ODK to build those ODK builds like you're seeing with
Bathroom Blitz and like you're seeing with Outbreak. Those can't be done through MML. Those
are done through ODK, which is another level. M is you know much more simpler much more quicker much
more fluid and easier for uh just users to use and get involved with so um lots of good stuff
as always any questions we're an open door thanks team yo thank you both like um curtis visiting the
magic kingdom i think shan just dropped the Alpha on the next collab, so appreciate that, man.
I can't wait to get bored.
Thank you, Dort.
Real exciting time to join the club
and get active in so many different avenues right now.
And, man, we've been looking forward to this day
for a long time dort marav and i and we finally got it we finally got it to the day we did it you
guys we put the website out the welcome package experience is out there for apes to start doing so if you guys run into a new club member tell them about it
put them on game tell them that there's a package waiting for them all they gotta do is tap in
do uh do some basic things participate in some fun games and activities, educate themselves on some safety protocols,
and set themselves up for success.
And the world is theirs.
Whether you want to build worlds in the other side to leverage trade
on clutch markets, on Ape Chain, there's avenues for everybody and uh i think that's what makes our
club so special is that it's um it's a place for for many different types of people and and
there's just a lot going on right now and shout out to everyone who was you know active making
sure that nobody fell for any of the bad actors that have been going around earlier.
That was, it's cool to see the community come together on that
and make sure, not that I, I don't think anybody's been affected,
so that's good too, so far.
And yeah, I don't know, Dorton, Rob, anything that you guys want to wrap up with? I know I wanted to, again, show some love to Jacopo for making the artwork
and anything else that we haven't tapped in on yet either.
Yeah, dude.
You know, just continue to be vigilant.
Like Drew said, the average is like 43 days like
people will try to just kind of soften up your defenses and and get you to trust them so just
you know just stay vigilant and um you know unsolicited dms like y'all don't y'all don't
have time for that so just ignore that um you know and and law echo your sentiment like super pumped
to get the website up.
I actually didn't think I'd feel this way.
I was like, oh man, welcome package.
It's going to be a lot of work.
We're going to, you know, tracking everything.
But, you know, I'm actually, I'm super excited to see who tackles this, to see who really
kind of steps up and goes through all these quests and really just plugs themselves into all these, like the finer points of BAYC, the other side, and everything that we got going on in the club. figure it out. I'm excited to see people conquer this. I'm excited to get those welcome packages
out and just get people kind of pumped to explore. So yeah, like we said, if you guys need any help,
any questions, I'm excited to answer those. So please need help.
I didn't answer those, so please need help.
Yeah, this is a huge day for Welcome Apes.
So glad we were able to roll out the website.
So everyone, again, go to welcomeapes.com if you haven't.
So stoked to see that it's up and live.
And yeah, it's been a great day with all of you just, you know, talking about what's new
and other side and what to keep an eye out for, how to stay safe, how to make the most
of being a new ape, right?
I mean, it's cool because sure, these quests might seem like hoops to jump through, but
these are all important things that you need to be doing anyway.
And now you get a welcome package for it.
So it's really cool that that's up and running.
And shout out Dort and Law for keeping this moving and welcoming apes at rapid speeds
consistently every day.
It wouldn't be anything without you guys.
So shout out for all the hard work.
Shout out Jacopo for that amazing promo flyer.
Brilliant artist.
Shout out to all the apes who rolled through.
So stoked to meet new apes and chat with old with old ones too so it's been a good day
one of the things that i really love about welcome apes and i think um it makes us very unique is
that we have you and and you and maravin dort here with us and uh both are day one board api club members and then you have
someone like me who came a little bit later and our committee is filled with new club members so
we have this like i know it's i know it's only been a club for like what four or five years now
but it's like we have all these different types of eras of apes that have kind of just stuck around and it's beautiful so you have people from all different walks of life
and walks from the club here together and um yeah i mean i just i really love showing up every day
to uh help new people out it makes me feel good and to be able to do it with dorton marav is an honor so i want to give
a shout out to dork and marav for for doing the work with me and making welcome apes the initiative
that it is so make sure you guys are following everyone up here use the website as a resource
um every month you'll look forward to an article that we put out in the club news section.
You can scroll to the bottom of it and see what's happening that day in the other side,
thanks to our friends, Night Gliders, who do keep up with the calendar.
And stay tapped into the BoardApe Gazette articles that are there for you to tap into as well to catch up with everything that's going on within the club.
Check out the community resource page and tap in with all the official club links and a list of some apes to start off your journey and follow.
And compete or not compete.
That's probably the wrong word.
Participate in the welcome package experience if you're a new ape.
And get yourself a package put together from us and some other ape friends that will be a fun experience that will evolve over time.
And really help cement the new era of club members that join us this year
and continue to make this the best club on the internet.
Let's fucking go, guys.
What do you guys say?
Should we wrap things up here?
I know we'll do a Welcome Wednesday again next week,
but this time in the other side.
Dork, you got your hand up?
Yeah, no, I just wanted to add one thing, and I wasn't sure if you're going to go straight to outro.
So I just wanted to say, like, you know, I see some new apes down there.
I know the Twitter space, at least for me, I'm still not a great public speaker.
But we run this
um three weeks of the month we run a similar thing in the other side bubbles um and i assume
we're gonna keep doing that i want to keep doing that and so yeah if you want a more casual
conversation introduce yourself um and just hang out um that's a little bit usually a little bit
later at night,
9 PM or 10 PM Eastern, depending on the week.
So if you're new, and you want to come, kind of more low key setting and introduce yourself,
that'll count towards the mandatory quest.
And yeah, I love those bubbles.
So I just want to make sure everyone was aware of that as well.
Was aware of that as well.
Yep. Bubbles on the off weeks.
Welcome Wednesday's first of the month on Twitter.
And yeah, good call, Dork.
Good call.
I'm seeing Peter Parker in the audience.
I think he just pulled up,
but Peter,
I don't know if you've had a chance to see it,
but you are the very first ape of the month or welcome apes.
And we're going to,
we got a nice little post that we'll put out tomorrow that celebrates you or the Peter Parker that you are.
And you are featured in the new member section of our website in between
cap and Marov on the TV.
So congratulations,
Peter Parker.
I believe,
yeah,
Dorton,
you're the rookie of the year who joined the club last year and just really, I don't know.
I don't know the right term.
You just got, you footed in the right ways.
You made friends.
You showed up to Ape Fest.
And we're glad you're a part of our community, man.
Shout out, Peter.
I mean, Peter's undeniably himself, which most people on Web3 are frauds, scammers.
They're everything but themselves.
And Peter is the opposite.
And he did DM me asking when Lambo for the Ape of the Month prize.
So we have to talk about that and check the budget, man.
Yeah, I don't know about a Lambo.
Maybe, maybe Lambo. I don't know uh about a lambo maybe maybe lambo i don't know
you didn't say what kind of lambo i think hot wheels have some pretty dope uh lambo toys
yeah maybe we can have hoarder stop by the the toy store pick up a lambo there
the toy store pick up a Lambo there.
Well, we're going to wrap it up here.
Thanks everyone for coming through tonight,
supporting us and,
and welcoming new apes and everything that we're doing.
We are honored to be here today and,
and have a good time doing it.
So shout out to you guys.
Let's
wrap it up here.
Happy Welcome Wednesday, everybody.
We're about to get paid. I'm about to get paid, paid, paid, I ate my hair. Yeah, I spit baggy, smaggy, springing for my little treat.
Who's that with that killer beat?
I got diamond hands to eat.
All my homies got to wave.
Back in the days in the jungle.
Bullets with the hustle.
Got them flexing like a mama.
One on them run, name nights with my DJs. Oh my God.
