Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Hello.
Can you guys share me?
Okay, thank you. okay um so while we wait for others i think we should get started um so the main reason why we're hosting this space is to explain to people what ontology network is and
yeah why we we need ontology in in our continent that'sology is created and so before I go I think
I need to tell people okay why blockchain in the first place let's talk about bitcoin so bitcoin was made after the 2008 financial crisis
and it allowed people to send money without banks or government that's basically what uh
all the reason why bitcoin um was created well the second one is ethereum i think we all know ethereum
and ethereum was built to go beyond blockchain.
Instead of just sending money,
Ethereum lets people run smart contracts.
That's a computer program that works automatically
when conditions are met.
And it allows people to develop decentralized application
without their own blockchain.
So it's also automated agreements
without trusting a middleman.
For Ontology, Ontology focuses on digital identity
and data security.
It's one to make sure that people and companies
can prove who they are online
and control their personal data
without relying on big tech companies.
So I think when we talk about ontology,
some people think it's too complex for them to understand.
But let's define ontology like in the technical way
before we define it in like simple terms.
So ontology network is high performance public
blockchain designed to support decentralized identity it's a privacy reputation system
that's enabling trust between people and various industries so in in a simple term
So in a simple term, let me explain what ontology is.
So think of your phone contacts.
You have, for example, John's number, Mary's WhatsApp,
and your boss email all scattered everywhere, right?
Now, imagine if you could have one digital identity
that contains everything about that person or you, your education,
your work experience, your reputation,
your achievement and so on.
Give me a minute.
So you control everything like it's in one place.
Ontology Network is like a secure digital
filling cabinets that you own.
Nobody else can open it without your permission.
Not the government, not Facebook, not Google, only you.
But here what makes Ontology special.
First, it uses blockchain technology. Now, don't worry if you don't understand blockchain,
but I think most of our listeners here understand or know, like they have knowledge on what blockchain
is. Think of it like this. You know how when you send money through mobile money, there's a record that can be changed or deleted.
So Loctron works that way. But for your identity and achievement, that's when it comes to ontology.
Everything on ontology is verified. Remember those fake certificates we hear about,
like people will be like, okay, this certificate is fake, and so on and so forth.
There are a lot of frauds people can't be trusted anymore so with ontology when university gives a certificate it's recorded on the blockchain
forever nobody can fake uh can fake it thought you own your data today when you upload your cv
to linkedin or any job application they own information. They can use that information when that platform is hacked.
But with ontology, you keep everything
and decide who can see what.
Let me give you a simple example
based on like a fictional story.
So Mary graduated from university of Lagos
with a computer science degree.
Instead of carrying fiscal certificates everywhere,
her university's degree gives her
a digital certificate on ontology.
Now, whether she's applying for jobs in Lagos,
Cape Town or London,
employees can instantly verify her degree is real.
No delays, no fake certificates and no problem.
So that's like the whole, I think,
like explanation on what ontology is
in a technical term and in a simple time.
And for the main component of Ontology, we have Ont ID. That's your digital passport.
And for the main component,
for the main component of ontology,
Ont ID is like your digital passport, but much better than any passport you've ever seen.
Your regular passport only shows your name and your country, right?
But for your Ont ID, it shows everything about you.
And you can choose to share what you want
people to see.
That's your education certificate, your work experience, your business reputation, your
skill and achievement, or your medical record.
That's if you choose people to see.
We have the OntoWallet, your control center.
OntoWallet is like the remote control of your Ont ID.
It's a simple app, you download on your phone,
and then you have to code your digital asset
or the Ont ID.
So we have like two modes, you can choose,
you can select or toggle between the asset mode
or the identity mode so with onto wallet you
can create the data identity and then store your asset too data exchange secure sharing sometimes
you need to share information with others like when you are applying for a job or getting medical
treatment ontology data exchange is like having a very smart secretary.
When someone needs your information, your secretary checks.
Do you trust this person?
What information did they actually need?
How long they should have access to that information?
And then the last one is the network.
That's for the community.
So Ontology connects millions of people,
business, schools and organization worldwide.
And yeah, we are part of the community too.
We are community members trying to push the mission forward
and then tell people, okay, this is what Anthology does
and how it can makes our life better so I think
these are the things we we need we need to know about ontology and as we go deeper
people will have like a better picture or better understanding of what ontology is, the application, the real use cases and so on.
Yeah, I think we have two people that are speakers here.
And if you want to request for the mic, I think you can come up and then ask any question you want or say anything um you want to say
yeah godly uh emex you want to say something
yeah i'm here everyone well um i think um i had the Já, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, hér, h that came in and a thing that is going on, I had to, I was speaking to the host, I think
this was last week, they gave me like a brief explanation. I didn't know that this kind of
product was completely similar to smart in the way they have their own coin and they have
their own gas, coin they use for gas, just like this, BND coin and the BSC. So I don't
know if they have that same thing too.
So, when you're acting on the screen, I actually hopped on the project.
I donated my on-pro-wallet ministry.
I actually participated in the thing that I did the Word of Talent.
I was on Tuesday, I didn't miss it.
And got one of the other things.
Personally, to me, I really loved the project. I really love what is being built.
The thing is that we are still early on this project.
It is not well known.
So, there is a benefit to those that are in a marriage project.
It is a really, really huge benefit.
But for the fact that it is not well known, meaning it means that if you jump in early, you know,
you will be one of the
you know first beneficiaries of the project so so far in what i've seen with the ontology project
to me i love what's going on i love you know everything i've been on the condition of blockchain
yeah thank you so much i think um you've joined us the last week, if I can remember, and you
were able to participate in the World Challenge that was organized by Sarsin. He's here with
us in the listeners section. So yeah, you told me that the whole experience was a positive one because you said the whole
thing was easy and you were able to get rewarded at the end.
So that's good and then we're happy to have you in the community. so yeah can i speak now yeah yeah okay uh gmgm everyone so sorry this is web3 underscore godly
um this is my alt account actually because i'm currently only i'm currently on another
meeting with my other account i don't know how the two stuff just
intertwined so apparently
ontology yeah I got to know about ontology via the what was it called via a person in in in the network and um i think it was on my space and
he came in and he told us what anthology was building so i went i i did i actually did a lot
of reading on the anthology network i did a lot because reading on Anthology Network. I tried it a lot. Because me, I like reading about,
especially when I see it as a very big prospect,
I like reading about it a lot.
So I read quite a lot about Anthology to be honest.
I got to see, if you are in the community for Nigeria,
you will see, if you were in any community about some days ago like a couple
of days ago you see where I where I sent the message there I'm actually surprised that a
lot of people aren't actually getting the taste I'm actually surprised a lot of people
are not are not squeezing out the juice yet because ontology is actually expanding to africa and they are coming with a very big vision
that will benefit us as in to benefit us in in a very very big um way you understand so i so
i thought to myself and i said um then i i i thought to myself and i said okay
i think i know what the problem is.
A lot of us are not actually educated about the vision.
So I said to myself, that is most likely the problem.
It is the same problem we are facing in Web3 world.
A lot of people are not actually Web3 educated.
So they tend not to understand the value or the the resources
that web3 actually can give out you get so i thought to myself that we should probably start
like a an ontology network education where we can make ourselves understand better what the project
stands for i learned from you you, you learn from me.
You get so, and apparently that is what I see we are doing.
I came in actually, I came in kind of late,
so I might not catch what I've been said before,
but I'm sure the space is just beginning.
So there are still lots that will be talked about.
I'll be here to also share, to as the class goes on I actually grasp some
some things I believe should be shared I will still omit my mic to talk about
them but believe me you we as Nigerians if you are if I also believe most of the
people on this space right now Nigerigerians believe me you we are
we are actually looking at a very bright future with ontology a very bright future and it will be
it will be the best if we can leverage it now because once we start expanding and a lot of
people in nigeria africa starts knowing more about ontology network.
You and I might not be as privileged as we are right now to explore it properly.
So right now, it is not saturated here between the big guns in the space.
So it is the best time for us to actually understand
what ontology network stands for and let us start forming it because one thing is certain if you're
in the community today and you become a core part of the community even when the project becomes the
biggest brand or for what it does in africa you won't be sidelined because you've been there from day one and you are not just there, you understood,
you understood the whole mechanism
and you understood what it stood for
and you stood with it.
There is no way you'll be sidelined, you understand?
So that is why we have decided to do
an ontology network education.
For those that are in my community also,
I will, in subsequent classes,
I will be talking about Ontology Network
and we will make it like a practical within us
on some things that we'll be doing.
Don't worry, that will be left between me
and people in my class.
So, but the basic of my talk right now is that let us be very attentive to what we are
about to hear from the host today and let us, the limit is just 30 minutes, one hour
I want to spend here.
Let us be focused on it and understand properly what the ontology network stands for and let us see
how it can help us and how we can help it just like i've always told my students we um web3 is
here to pay us but web3 only pays for value so don't just think about the money web3 we give you
think about the value you can give to web3 so which is why uh which is what I'm telling us right now.
Ontology Network will definitely pay us
in different kinds, not just in monetary value,
in service value also, but now,
all we have to do is be a solid community
behind Ontology Network,
and that is what I believe we should all do together as one.
So, like I said, I'll request for the mic when I feel I have something else to say,
but I'm here. Godly is here. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Godly, for your submission.
Yeah, like you said, when it comes to the educational aspects in Web3,
I think that part has been neglected and people kind of like don't want to go there.
So people think if you come to Web3, you have to start learning new terminologies,
you have to start learning the language and people from outside, they think it's too complex.
No, what we should focus on is educating people, telling them, okay, this is what the blockchain can do
for you in a simpler way for them to understand.
So like you said, we keep on educating people
about the blockchain, about Ontology Network,
and then we keep on building the community in Africa
because this is an opportunity for us to come together.
We want to put trust back to people
and people will get to control their own identity
and say, okay, I want to share
this specific information about myself.
And then they get to retain what they don't want people
to know about them.
And yeah, Sabah, Sabah sabah you first up your hand
hey what's up um bonobos is this you uh yeah oh um jam jam guys jam so um thank you for
modeling my name first off.
Okay, let me just kind of do a brief introduction before I ask my questions, right?
I'm Sabre and I'm a full-stack blockchain developer.
And, you know, I got to, like, know about ontology, I think, from you a couple of weeks back, right?
And since then, I've just, like, I wanting to see it see it grow and evolve right but um as a developer right i have some like questions developer centric though so um first
off um do you guys undo like you know i think the last time you spoke you told me that you know
ontology is not like basically written like being built on it's not like deployed on evm right
we have the evm okay so do you guys undo like multiple virtual machines let's say like new vm
or you know wasm evm like i think ev and Neo, I'm not sure about the rest,
but I think our head of community,
Geoff can come up and answer that question.
For me, I think it's EVM and Neo.
Oh, okay. Fair enough.
Fair enough, fair enough.
Do you guys also have like available SDKs for,
let's say TypeScript or Sol know solidity or even go i
don't know but you guys have like developer-centric sdks available yeah yeah we have sdks yeah
yeah you can go ahead and ask your question um i think uh we will answer it yeah we have
uh we are site we are we are faced but i think to your passion oh okay okay okay so um um last one
i would you say like ontology is like developer focus like i mean developer centric basically do
you guys have like a support system for your developers or you're just like, you know, trying to put structures in place and stuff.
Yeah, we do, but Draft will kind of collaborate more on that.
Well, you're rugging a bit. Like you're rugging and I can't really hear you properly.
Yeah, can you hear me now?
Yeah, I can hear you, but it's a bit like laggy i think maybe it's
my network but um for your question yeah we do we do have like um developer focus we are developer
focused too but um jeff will give you a more broader explanation on those things.
Okay, okay, okay.
Hey, Sabre, it's Jeff. Yeah, just to jump in on that. So a couple of things. Yeah, WASM support on the virtual machine, EVM support, Neo and Neo as well. So WASM is supported on
there as a virtual machine for the language as well. So no problem on there.
In terms of developer support, I'm actually just thrashing this out with Barnabas at the moment in terms of how we can best support developers from Nigeria, but also around Africa more broadly as well. And so we have essentially, I'll be making myself available for a couple of hours a week for any questions.
I'll also be making sure our lead developers are available for any questions.
We're going to be running some hackathons.
There'll be some retrospective rewards for people who are building things.
So if somebody builds something retrospectively, they will be rewarded financially as well.
But also marketing, as I say, access to developers, things like that.
Yeah. but also marketing uh as i say access to developers things like that yeah the reality is though if i'm absolutely honest say but some some of the documentation could be better this is one
of the things we want to work on is the actual developer documentation could be better so some
of the early bounties we're going to be putting out there for people to earn rewards on is helping us
build better documentation so if you're a developer and you're working on something,
you can actually get paid to improve our documentation as well
to make it better for other developers or, you know,
produce YouTube videos or whatever it is to just give some guidance
to developers to make it easier to develop.
You know, the EVM is there for people to develop on as well.
So quite a lot of support, actually,
and more support coming to make sure that everybody's supported to be able to do what they want to do.
Yeah, yeah, because I really, like, have your docs open right now.
And, you know, I can't, like, it's not, like, working.
I think I have to use a VPN or something.
But I cannot, like, have your docs load up.
So that's why I just had to come and ask these questions.
You know, and I really hope that, I mean, if you guys are coming to the Nigerian scene,
I think you have to be aware that there are tons of competition, right?
I mean, we have layer two networks like BASE that is for builders by builders, right?
So you'd have to look to like do a ton of research
you know probably um find i think i was talking to bernambas about like dev rails and stuff because
look if you're looking to penetrate one of the biggest markets um in nigeria in africa which is
like nigeria you have to you know position we have people that are ready to be we have builders and we
have to solve things but you know having lapses like your docs not working on or we have to use vpn it's like a big trade-off so these are things that are just like you guys could
like work on and stuff no that's really important and and actually what i want to make sure we do
is get all that feedback and make sure that we change and improve things as we go so if there's
a problem with you accessing the docs let's make sure we feed that back to Barnabas me and Barnabas are going to be meeting weekly and I can make sure
that gets fixed so one of the things we are making sure that you guys have is communication to the
core team right just direct communication so we can solve these problems and make sure everything's
there for what you need so absolutely that's great feedback that's what we want so just you know
everybody can feed that through Barnabas me and barnabas can get together and we can make sure those problems are solved
yeah yeah cool cool so i'm gonna throw you a follow and hopefully i'll stay in touch
and you know we're just gonna like build a soft connect and you know let's see how um it's just
going to scale like i'm really game i really want to see this whole i really want to see competition
right i want to see
you know blockchains like looking for builders in nigeria we're going to just like see web
2 development skill i think that's one of my long-term goals so yeah um lfg want to score
yeah thank you seba and yeah we've been talking me me and you, about the developer aspect.
Yeah, like Job said, we really need builders.
And the first thing we are going to do
is make our documentation accessible to everyone
and simplify it in the process
whereby everyone is going to understand.
I, as a developer, I think I show your concern
because when I first saw the documentation,
it was kind of like really a lot to take or to understand.
But I think for the, you said you need VPN.
No, I don't think so,
because I was able to open it on my laptop right now.
And I don't, I'm not facing any issue.
So I'm not sure what's wrong with,
from your end, but from my end is totally working.
But yeah, we need devs and we need people
that will make the documentation better
so that people that will come later,
they will understand, okay, this is the documentation.
This is how they can go ahead and
build stuff on the ontology nets of blockchain um so eron eron how if you have something to say
i think you can meet your mic now all right um gmgm everyone on the space shout out to jeff
for his presence and south sandy um shout out to everybody on the space. Like the
turnout is massive. I really appreciate everyone that is here
first of all. So a quick one to Mr. Jeff. I appreciate that your
presence is like your active here. So the questions that you
know, I have in mind so far so good. I'm just going to pick one
after weeks to direct it to you. We're talking about firstly, when I came into Anthology, most of the circle of people that I was seeing was just developers.
And trust me, I'm not going to lie.
From Mr. Barnabas to, you know, the rest of them, when they were talking in the space, they were just giving me all this, you know, developers that have energy that, yeah, these ones are dead.
You know, and the question now comes down to me i like
okay is is anthology only their focus you know this guy actually is like a develop and developer
focus is like is it developer based you know until a network in terms of blockchain my question is
now is it is it like focus on developers only like like is that what we're all about the ontology when you're in tell her
you when you're telling you like okay fine only developers can build on this thing i i really just
want to know what the plan of ontology is in in the old african sector that's basically for me
yeah uh no we're not developed just developer I hope not anyway, because I'm not a developer.
That'll put me out of a job.
So look, I think the reality is, you know, in Web3 is the community in general is really important for several reasons.
Creativity, insights, usability, knowing what people want.
You know, there's lots of things in there that are really important.
And I love devs.
I think they do a great job.
But I also think people who aren't devs
bring unique perspectives to things.
They bring a lot of energy.
They produce video content, right,
that is excellent and can help educate people.
I think Godly started off speaking
about the need for that education in the first place.
And, you know, we don't just need devs to educate
because they educate in a very technical way.
We need people who are involved in the ecosystem,
using the ecosystem, excited about it, able to talk about it.
You know, Sasson's in the audience here.
Sasson, I've worked with Sasson with Ontology now
for quite a while.
He does some great stuff around communication and education
and those sorts of things. We're a broad ecosystem. Developers are a really important part of it because they create
the things we get excited about and we use, but actually it's a broad set of people with loads
of skills. And sometimes that's just enthusiasm and enjoyment and just actually making it a great place to be.
I think all those things together make a healthy mix of skills and different things that people bring to a system and make it work and make it exciting and interesting.
And that's what I like about being with Ontology. You know, I started out at Ontology about four or five years ago, just volunteering my time.
I was just I started off as an admin on Telegram and then did various things.
And here I am working as head of community now and working with Barnabas to try and push this initiative out, which I'm super excited about.
And I think we'll do really well. So, no, a huge range of skills are required, a huge range of personalities and abilities.
Developers are important.
We're going to be doing a lot for developers,
but we've also put some budgeting
to make sure that it's not just for developers.
There's lots of different ways for people to earn,
to get involved, to create value,
and just be part of this growing ecosystem as well.
So hopefully that answers your question.
Yeah, yeah, thank you. Thank you for that.
Yeah, thank you for your question. And yeah, we focused more on the developer
parts because Sabah was asking whether developers have opportunity or they can
come and build here. so that's why we
we answered in such a way but yeah everybody is welcome whether you are content creator
um you are welcome just any skill any skill that you have you are totally welcome to come on
and build on ontology um so next um the church
I don't know
Chenic right?
yeah so sorry
your name is kind of like difficult
for me to pronounce
okay that's fine
thank you very much
Gem Gem everybody on this space
shout out to everybody who has made our time to be on this space. It's a very exciting moment. And I also want to share
in the plight of Erin when she spoke, I believe it's a she. You know, from hearing from the
first few speakers, you would think Anthology Network is just for developers. I was just smiling at my end here while I listen to them speak,
because I have come to study and research on this space,
on this network for a while now, for a couple of days.
I've been trying to create content about this network and the benefits
it brings to Africa as a continent,
and Nigeria to be precise.
So at the point also, I was getting the vibes like,
you could say it's just for developers, but no.
And just before I would raise up my hand or indicate to answer the question,
more light was shared to read.
And I just want to quickly drop this here before
we proceed the ontology network has chosen africa as one of the first places to diversify into and
if you look around our community our continent you, there are a lot of avenues where the network fits in.
And there is so much that can be done.
In the last few days, in the course of my research,
I have been able to draw
the potentials of this network it's it's just so different it's on a class of its own
i hope everyone can still hear me
i hope you can still hear me yeah go on we can hear you
okay it's just different it's on a class of its own and it is going to do
great things i strongly believe this belief is not just backed by some kind of feelings but
backed by the data i have available on my hand i've been conducted research in this area for quite a few days now.
So, yeah, it's a big playing ground, a big community for all of us, and we can all get along.
We can all get along.
At the moment, I will just stop here and give room for others to communicate.
And just as we proceed i still have exciting
news to share with us about ontology network but for now let me stop here jim everybody
yeah thank you so much janine um yeah i think i've seen a couple of your posts you are doing so well
trying to put the ontology narrative out there and i will say that your contents are
yeah they are very interesting and then very educated some someone that have no idea what
ontology is if they go through that content i'm sure they're going to get one or two things yeah
so moving forward you only say, you press the button.
Can you hear me?
Yeah, we can hear you.
I wanted to just like talk on like what Aaron said.
I feel like most people do not understand that most of these protocols that they use, you know, have been built.
And if there are no structures in place, right, to enable people to, like, come on this chain and, you know, put products out there, like, nobody will be able to use these things.
So it's, like, very crucial, like, developers are literally, like, the backbone of, right,
each successful chain or each successful product you the backbone of, right? Each successful chain or each successful product
you see out there, right?
So, you know, for a chain that's just coming out
or for a chain that's looking to, you know,
join or penetrate a particular market, right?
There has to be a system to enable these people
to know how to build, right?
So, you know, I didn't mean to push out the wrong idea
to anybody out there, right?
You know, a lot more people can study a lot more things on this ontology, right?
But, you know, I just needed to get clarifications on, you know, how to build on it and stuff.
So that hopefully, right, one of my products will be used by one of you guys.
So, yeah, I just need clarity.
So I didn't really mean to push out the wrong idea.
Thank you so much. So I just need clarity. So I didn't really mean to push on the wrong idea. Yeah.
Thank you so much. And when it comes to what you've said,
yeah, I think for developers, they bring adoption,
they bring more users into a network.
Yeah, I can't disagree on that.
But also everybody's skill as a collective, you know,
everybody's scale um as a collective you know everybody is is needed
but when it comes to the development development aspect yeah the developers are the backbone like
you said so uh we we need to give opportunity to everybody um equal opportunity so that everyone will feel welcome in the ecosystem.
So I think we have new speakers.
If you guys have questions to ask or if you're in the listeners section
and you have questions to ask,
you should just request for the mic
and come up to ask your question.
Okay, Dev, you can go on, Dave P.
All right, GM, GM everyone.
GM C, but it's Jane Lee, Mr generally Mr. Richard here, thank you for allowing me to speak.
So I was actually going through the documentation and I saw something that was actually interesting.
At least I saw your platform itself. This is the first time I'm hearing of your platform because i saw one of my i call him my og save it yeah somebody also too is a friend of mine so i saw him on this
place i said let me decide to come in and i was looking through the documentation i saw some
things that was actually interesting and it supports um words that is some of the languages
i i'm very conversative yeah i would love I would love to come into the ecosystem and build some products.
Yeah, I also see that you guys, the platform supports Solidity, which I am very good at.
Okay, so it's very, very good.
Okay, let's see how it goes.
From time to time, I'll invite some of my devs to actually come into your ecosystem and
build. i'll invite some of my devs to to actually come in to your ecosystem and build and also it's our
one of my products i also try to actually build it here and see how the platform
tends to work with you thank you very much thank you very much i love what you guys are doing
i'm very sure i also love to contribute as time goes on all right guys
Time goes on.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, if you go through our documentation,
you will see the languages that we support.
But to kind of like put the word out there,
the spyton Java Go C pluscript and the one you mentioned,
You also have new smart contracts and so on.
So but our development tools, you can search for SmartX and sign a wallet.
So if you want to start testing, you can request for testnet tokens, go to SmartX and then
deploy your smart contract over there.
So like Job said, we need developers so that we want to make the documentation more better.
So if you have any idea on how to do that, you should talk to me. Talk to me on Telegram.
I'm always available there and then let's see how we can move things forward yeah
okay i think now is we should just keep on moving and now is the next um section
is the next section to what this space is all about.
And is the opportunities that we Africans can utilize
while being in ontology, the community and everything.
So I think I would let Geoff,
we don't want to spin the word out right now,
but we should just give you an introduction of what is to come.
So I will give Jock the opportunity to tell us
so that you don't hear it from me, you hear it from our head of community.
So Jock, the first year.
Yeah, cheers, Barnabas.
Happy for you to talk to people as well i mean that's
that's absolutely you you're you're heading this up for us on this um but also happy to talk as
well um so we've been speaking to barnabas about how we can better support all the excellent work
that's been going on essentially um the ontology team we're very much focused on seeing people bring value and
when people people bring value then we want to support that and barnabas and loads of people
here i recognize so many names um from linkedin as well you know uh i saw um chaining talking
earlier i've seen some risk posts on linkedin well on there. So lots of value already come in out of this community. So what we wanted to do was sit down and think about how we
could better support that. And so we've nearly got to the final structure of how things are going to
be. There's still some things for me and Barnabas to discuss, but this is going to support lots of
different things in terms of online events, in real life events, people
creating content, people leading as city heads, if you like, as country heads as well, and
making sure that that value is rewarded with monetary rewards, right?
People should get paid for doing good work.
I'm a big believer in that.
And so we've lots of things coming in in there with lots
of opportunities. So, you know, you could head up your own community, you can organize events,
we're going to be having hackathons, we're going to be putting bounces out there for production of
content, whether that be videos or documentations or educational content. And there's going to be
lots and lots of opportunity to do a couple of things. And that's one, to get involved and run
communities or be part of a community and one, to get involved and run communities
or be part of a community and grow communities
to get involved in real life events.
We've already seen people going to real life events
for us, which was excellent.
Really enjoyed seeing the videos
and the pictures from that.
There'll be opportunities to get involved in hackathons
and produce content and produce apps
and solve some of the problems.
And all those things will have a reward system and a tiered structure.
We're looking at a three-tiered structure that people can gain promotions through
and hopefully building this coherent structure
where people feel like they've got a place they belong.
I think it was Aaron that posted a few days ago, maybe a week or so ago,
about finding somewhere they belong
within the Web3 ecosystem. And I think that's really, really important. That's what we want
to achieve for people here is they belong, they bring value, and they get value in return. And so
the other thing is, is one of the things I'm really passionate about is making sure that we
can support people to build their own careers in Web3 as well.
So if you want to build your own profile and build your own presence in Web3, then I also want to make sure we're in a position to support that as well and to give you opportunities to succeed and do those things.
So we have a well-funded system in place.
We're ready to go.
The budgets are all in place.
We've just got to finalize some things.
And I think there's lots and lots of opportunity, Barnabas.
I'm really excited about it.
You know, we seem to have something I think can be really,
really special to put in place.
So I don't know if I've covered everything,
but, you know, feel free to add some more details as well.
Yeah, thank you so much for the explanation.
I think, yeah, so what he said, there are a lot
of opportunities and then we have projects in place. We just need to talk more on, I think,
a couple of things to put things in place and then we push things forward. And coming to what he said is, we have like a structure,
is based on your level and we have three levels.
So you can start by being a volunteer.
You are passionate about the network.
You are passionate about the blockchain.
You are passionate about ontology.
You start creating content as a developer.
You come in, make our documentation better or just like
starts uh yeah in it in it in on the testnet maybe start developing something that is valuable and
then come to the community talk about it and then we can see how we can support you that's one the
second part is being a city lead so for example if you if you're in Lagos, in Abuja, in Kanu, and then you've built a community there, they can choose to vote you as the city lead.
in okay you are in charge of that country city will report to you um there will be reward there
will be reports it can be weekly or bi-weekly or monthly um is something that me and jop we talk
about um real soon so those are the things we put in place the opportunity is vast and we want
people to come in and not just for the money, but yeah, you know, definitely you need to get rewarded.
But for the love of the tech and see how we can push this thing forward.
So that's what I will add.
If I have something to say next, I think I'm going to do that.
But we have a new speaker, is um blunt bluntly bluntly comics
you have anything to say.
So, like I said, those things are in place right now.
And it's not only Nigeria, right?
It's not only Nigeria.
It's all over Africa.
It's something that we want to build a community
in the whole continent,
push the narrative out there,
ontology, deed, reputation, ZKTLS, and so on,
for people to come in, build, create value,
and see how we can go from there. So everybody is welcome,
you can participate in the group, show us what you can do and then yeah when it comes to the city
lead or the country lead, it's not that you are going to position yourself and be like I'm the
country, no people in the community are going to vote for you so you need
to possess leadership skill um i think if if you see yourself as a leader uh you should be be active
in the community and show us what you've got emix that makes you have something to say first of your
Mix, Mix you have something to say?
First up, Yohan.
Yeah, I just wanted to encourage everyone to
let's follow up on the account, Central Asia
account, and let's bring in more people.
If we have communities, if we have friends, you know, people
that actually need this, and people that actually need to replace this.
At that point, you're good at onboarding people.
So, very, very good to encourage, you know, those around us and follow up on their account
and see the notifications of how can we get updates with any information as that will be you know posted on the office on the telegram
yeah definitely thank you and also i was able to speak to some people um one he was yeah he's still on the space he's from benin even though we we have an
ambassador from benin it is ginola i think he's not here or he's here with us i don't know but
with i i was able to to speak with the with the person and he is very interested in volunteering, starting to build a community over there.
And it's something that I'm going to connect them with Ginola to see how we can push it
Yeah, it's something that later after the call, I'm going to connect you guys.
And also I was able to talk with Juan in DRC.
He's passionate about tech. He really
loved the idea behind Ontology and he's on board. Also people from Ethiopia, they are
really passionate and they want to get on board. So as you can see, things started to
take shape. So we cannot wait much longer uh we should push the mission forward and then
get things started in the ecosystem yeah so for me i think i'm going to give opportunity to
people that if you have any question or you have anything to say request for the mic and come and ask your question or yeah or maybe since i don't have
something to say right now i'm going to maybe job will add some things but if not yeah maybe
people come up and ask any questions you have you have the only thing i'll add barnabas on that is you know um i'm available on telegram if you want to
drop me a message if you want to ask me anything i try and reply as quickly as possible usually
within a day if i haven't replied within a day please do give me a kick sometimes uh messages
get lost on Telegram.
We've got lots of other things happening at the moment.
So new product coming out next week.
I'm not going to say too much about that,
but keep an eye out for that.
It's going to be really exciting.
May push back to the week afterwards.
We've got developers in the space,
as you know how things can push back at some times.
But hopefully next week could be the week after a new product
that will be really exciting.
We will have, in fact,
we do have a developer channel
on Discord as well,
where our lead developer
will be coming into there
to answer any questions as well.
So if anything comes up on there,
it's a great place to ask something
and get some direct feedback
from the lead dev as well at Ontology,
which is really useful. Yeah, and just really excited to see what we build here. It's a
community-led thing. I'm going to try not to do too much talking, actually. I'm going to try and
let Barnabas and everybody else do mostly talking, but just so you know, I am here to help and to
support if you need me for anything. Yeah, thank you, Joaf.
He's our head of community.
So if you have anything to say or ask him,
it's always available on Telegram.
So you can ask him any questions you have.
And moving forward, I think someone asked,
what's the process for building communities?
So the process is you start talking to people inviting
them into the community but i'm not i'm not sure um it's something that i'm going to talk with jeff
whether states each state should have their own community i'm not sure about that but um yeah let
me ask jeff here is this something something that, are we going to have,
like each state should have their own community
or they should come into the main channel?
I'm not sure about how we can go with that.
Digitally, I think the best way is for it to be language-based
on channels, on digital channels.
That's what we've done with other things.
But again, Barnabas, I think it might just have to be whatever works for different people um I'm happy to support whatever
works so you guys are going to know better what works for your communities you're going to know
better what works for your countries for your areas you'll know so much better than I do so
when I say community-led I really mean it. I want you guys
to lead this, push this, and then I'll support you and I can work through the best way to
set things up and to do things. But I think it might be on a case by case basis, depending what
works within your own communities. Yeah, true. Yeah, we are going to put those things in place. Let's see how we can build
the community, whether it's going to be each state should have their own community or each
country should have their own community. And yeah, like you said, some people might have
difficulty in understanding English or any other language. So we are going to make sure
we carry everybody along so as to understand So we are going to make sure we carry everybody along
to us to understand whatever we are doing.
Eron, you have your place up there.
Yeah, I think I'm audible, right?
So this is it.
First of all, shout out to everybody on the space like I know this is second
of all right I've done it the first time we have about we have about 47 people listening right now
on the space a really a big shout out if it's I had another found out that's the trumpet sound
shout out to you guys your presence is much appreciated and another thing is mr barnabar
shout out to you like forget you're doing it you're doing a very very good job i you know every and
every opportunity i get i keep you know appreciating you appreciating your effort on the space like
trust me and most of us that have the idea of ontology next book don't have that idea if you
know you were not in that position to guide us through the path you know every questions we had
you were very open to give us an answer to you that's to show you're a leader and you're doing
a good job so yeah shout out to you man shout out to you i really want to do that so that's it thank
I really want to do that. So that's it. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate it.
Blountly is now available. Go on.
Hey, how are we going? Good morning. I'm usually in the background, just watching, been around for a few years. And just a general question of, you know, I see we do a lot in, like,
Discord as far as, you know, games to build up whatever, ONG or NFT.
I was just trying to see, is there any plan or anything in the works uh that we don't know
because when i first got onto ontology it was for um identification so my bad i'm telling you my
kids but just go give me a few minutes but if you could just uh go after that. Give me a few minutes, sorry.
All right, sure. We'll wait for it to come back, yeah.
And DFX, do you have any question to ask
or anything to add?
I think real Dx is not available so i think with people yeah we we keep on building because when when i first joined ontology um and then i look at the african looking forward to
um being a part of this like as said, the team is doing a good job.
Okay, I think he saw story on your network.
Yeah, you can go on. Yeah, I said I just, a friend of mine just sent this to me and I
Yeah, I said, I just, a friend of mine just sent this to me and I came to check it out.
And I think this is my first time coming across the ontology network and been reading through the entire post on the handle.
And then the information I've gotten so far, I think this is something really worth being a part of.
Speaking from Port Alourt and right here
we have a web3 community and one or two we know um maybe there could be somewhere we could you know
be a part of this and obviously everything looks good from my end so uh for me i kind of, I'm a content creator and I kind of do content for stuff like this.
So looking forward to, I don't know, where can we get the Telegram link and then the community, I mean the general community channel.
Is that accessible? Because I've been looking for it so I could just you know connect with
like my boy I haven't seen anything like that thank you yeah thank you so much I'm going to
drop the telegram group link in the comment section so that you you should check it out. And you will find the main Telegram group
in the bio of the Nigerian Telegram group.
So, or you can just go to Telegram search
Anthology Network, no space Anthology Network.
You will see the main English group
and then you should join.
And let's see how we can move forward and yeah
I wanted to say something before Emix please I want if you are interested in building a community
in your state just let me know and you can you can tag me up on telegram and see how we can we
can go about about that yeah if you are interested if you're interested, if you're interested, like, was it Chenix?
Yeah, Chenix was the one that asked about the whole community building process.
So if you are really interested, it is something that I'm open.
We can talk, see how best we can move forward with that.
And for the effects, yeah, it's something that we need to talk.
You can message me on Telegram, then we we get to talk on how we
can onboard your community into the ontology network community and see how we can build
so emix you're next
yeah i think once again considering the um community state um
that i was thinking that for now that we're still trying to grow the main community
that is and then they are the one in telegram
telegram channel and community. I feel like the focus should be to build that one.
So that's like the general community for the whole Nigeria.
It stays to state, it's actually good.
But if we can focus it, then later it will actually break out into state to state.
Because if we focus on our energy on the main community, just like on Twitter, we started
from, you know, where they're from, we started branching out to other continents like Africa
and the rest of them.
So my point is, let's build the main community.
Then we start branching out to states where we can now have physical meetings and onboard more people in a particular region.
But the focus personally to me, I feel like it's the focus on the main community.
Then it's time as i'm told he branched
out to africa and other continent other countries we can also now branch out you know creating other
communities online yeah thank you so much i think it's something clearly i don't need to look into that.
And for the next speaker,
the name is Ziollua, Yanni Elua.
Yeah, GM, GM, everyone.
Very glad to be on the space.
And shout out to everyone that's had, you know,
helped us to see our ontology in a different light.
You know, I had ontology wallet a while back and yeah, I really, you know, interact with ontology beyond that.
But yeah, very glad that, you know, uh, you know, we are bringing the
commitment to actually, you know, uh, get out there and get more people to see more about
ontology and yeah i was really glad when i saw ontology and like an ontology is those things
like okay let's check what's going on and literally speaking i only know one person on
on this space as large as this space is so yeah it's actually a great way to uh you know connect and see that yeah more people are
excited about ontology i've been entering people's dm to ask more about ontology yeah i would really
love to uh you know definitely read more about i would definitely read more about ontology you know
after the space and i'm asking questions getting Concerning the question you asked about, you know, having, you know, states stop.
I think being a small community yet, I don't think it's already a big community.
I think it should just be, you know, country, right?
It should just be, you know, focused by country.
So when we begin to have large communities in each state
uh the way to get to know this is just you know by running a poll on the country uh orthology
community like say nigerian orthology community and then you run a poll which state are you from
or just probably just a form people feel the form and then you get to know exactly how many people are from each state and then we get to know there should definitely be like a like a
number right that is that should be the target for you know the number of people
we have in each state before we now create a community specifically for that
state and you know you start pushing some things because you want to push
adoption in this in a state you, it has to be properly organized.
You have like you would need like a mix of several, you know, people with different, you know, abilities to organize some things before you can actually be able to push in that particular state.
So really what we should have now is just the national level stuff.
Right. And then bring up activities to attract
more people and everybody should you know engage right and uh yeah there should also be ongoing
spaces like this uh i'm a space i'm a space with myself and uh yeah ongoing spaces like this will
help people to know more uh yeah we can actually interact more you know when we get the serious
part of things like sabba.base.it you know we the developer right those ones are usually at the
serious side of things and then we have the gamer like aaron and then yeah we have you know community
focus people like myself victor on the space uh shout out to you victor yitzende is also on the
space shout out to you today and so many other people like that you know we can have species that can be tailored towards each of
those you know special you know specialties right and then we attract more people and stuff like
that so yeah uh that's my contribution right that's my contribution i really love to see more
ontology so glad to meet everyone and well done a shout out to you gil okay gil
uh richard yeah richard yeah jim everyone yeah thank you so much and yeah when it comes to the
whole group stuff i'm not saying we are going to separate the group no um we are going to be in
in one group and when we reach a certain number that's when we start talking about
the states maybe each state would have its own community but for now we we want everybody even
if you're not from Nigeria to join the group and and see yeah just join the group it will be one
group and once we've reached a certain number, we have those different
communities.
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you for your contribution.
And yeah, I'm happy to hear that you've had the Gontewa-Led back then, not just now.
And you've heard about ontology.
But since we come down to Africa and want to start building uh it's something that
uh you should get on board if you have any question um yeah just ask me uh i'm available on on
telegram uh yeah just just feel free to to dm me and and then i'm ready to answer all of your questions.
Yeah, Joe, I think Joe wants to say something.
Just a really quick one, Barnabas.
Unfortunately, I've got another meeting I've got to rush off to.
So I just wanted to say thank you, everybody, for having me here.
Thanks for giving me a chance to talk, Barnabas.
And it's great to see so many people turn up and talking and so many people asking questions and commenting
and being involved in the discussion. It's been really really really good so uh just a big thanks to everybody and i'm really sorry i've
got to shoot off unfortunately i do have another meeting coming up yeah thank you so much for your
time thank you very much uh you've raised this space and yeah can't wait to have you in the next one thank you so much
okay so joff has left us and we continue just give me one minute
and the next person def p yeah the p first of the first up here. Right. Okay, we are GMG, it's just a question I want to ask.
Concerning the developers community, where exactly?
Because I was hearing from Telegram, is there any Discord channel that I can actually use
to access the developers community?
So I can actually leave it for my patients
there, basically the devs in the apps.
Is there anyone like that?
Or is there any group or community
that we are committed to?
Okay, so for the community, it's on Discord.
You know, for Discord, they have like different channel.
So we have the developer channel,
where you can go there ask any questions
you want to ask and then respond back we have like our head of developer pendal i'm also a developer
myself so we make sure we attend to your questions we attend to your feedback or anything like yeah
for developers in the house please as we as you head from Jeff, you head from Jeff.
We want to improve our documentation.
We want to really improve our documentation,
be it's video content or text-based.
It's something that you are welcome.
It's something that we've been talking with Josh
like since, was it March or April that we've been talking?
Because when I first joined ontology I kind of like find it difficult to to interact with the whole
develop developer talks but yeah I came to understand it but it took a lot of
time and it's something I want to simplify it yeah so what are the password I don't
want others to pass through and we are looking at Sabah I think Sabah said he will contribute
it's something that we are going to talk after the call just let me know in any way you want to
improve the documentation we have we have bounty where we reward you um you'll be what put in place
for that yeah so the developers and it's not only developers because this question is
credited developing uh it's not only developers if you are like uh was it what's his name
yeah yeah he said he's a content creator. You are welcome.
When we send the proposal out,
we send the proposal with three categories,
like three set of people,
for the people that will come to build,
for the people that will come to create content,
put the word out there,
and for the people that will come and invest.
If you want to stick
on a knot you want to run a knot you are more than welcome our apr percentage is very very high
uh it's something that if you are not sure about if you don't know um what ontology is taking is
please let me know and yeah before i forget someone asked for the telegram i think link
please um this whole space this is my first time hosting a space so i'm not sure how to comment
on that under a space or to to uh make it appear like uh saber set evolution ontology so i want to
who said evolution ontology.
So I want to tell Aaron, yeah, Aaron,
can you please copy the link and post it under the space
so that people will see the Nigerian Telegram group
so that they will join.
So we have new speakers.
Ramla, Ramla, Ramla.
Ramla, are you there?
Okay, let's give our time.
Hello, GM, GM. I'm sorry, please.
Can you give me just two minutes?
I will be back soon.
Yeah, sure.
Let's take your time.
Okay, so Aaron, please copy the link
and put it under the space.
Or is it comments?
I don't know.
So, and for the whole thing, you know,
for the whole breakdown of the community building the
project um all the stuff we are going to discuss that on monday because we do host
uh weekly calls which is happening every monday um yeah the link will be sent on sunday
um yeah the link will be sent on sunday that's where we are going to have a proper breakdown
of everything so that you guys will have the like the understanding of what we are doing
while we are doing it what we are building and where we are going to want to build the ideal
community for ontology network and since we are new to the african market
i want to put this in place to support everybody everybody's welcome we want to support you even if
um you are just a community member you just want to be there um maybe you don't want to contribute
or anything yeah we are there to support you everybody's welcome and yeah just keep an eye out make sure
you join the the telegram group and also follow the ontology x account on monday by sunday or
monday we are going to drop that link on meet on google meets we are going to have a proper breakdown of the whole proposal and what is it for us as Africans
because it's time to build, it's time to push the narrative out there, it's time to express
something meaningful like the centrist identity, the just community reputation because so many
people are having issues with their identity.
Yeah, so many people, because if you ask someone to provide a proper identification of yourself,
they'll tell you, I don't have this document or the fact that an ontology is trying to prevent that from happening. It's just trying to say, OK, this is your identity.
This single identity, you can carry it in every way you go. And for gamers, I think someone mentioned that Erron is a gamer. Yeah, for gamers, you have like a reputation where if you play a game, you can come back to the next thing, place, builders, content creators, and so on.
And like Job said, if you are interested in posting an event, it's something we are open to, but not now.
We are not going to do it right now. We want to see how the community grow. Also, I need to put the word out there that we want, you know, it's based on a level and
it's based on the quality and it's based on the value of the community.
So when you come in, we don't just rebuild the role of city lead or country lead, no.
First you are a volunteer.
You show us that, you show us what you can do, you show us what you can do what you can do volunteer put the wall out there
invite more people create content create the apps and so on and from there you can move
out to the next level but it's not something that um it's also is yeah we just we i don't want to
put out there i don't want to go into more details
since on monday we are going to have another meeting so i'm going to give an opportunity to
ramla whether maybe she has something to ask or something to add on what we've said so far so okay GM everyone sorry actually I came in late but I got to listen to some information though it's still not clear actually i didn't understand what exactly
um the community is all about or the project entirely but um i'm still digging in deep
checking some other things previous uh i think is it a post but i'm still not clear about it i don't know i know definitely
maybe you have um already said that so i don't want us to go back asking something you have
explained already since it's um a recorded space i can listen to the space when we are done so um i've already joined the community so i know maybe
if i have other questions after listening to this space i can just maybe drop the question in the
community i don't know if it's okay yeah it's totally okay if you have any question you can drop
It's totally okay. If you have any question, you can drop in the group. We are open and we have a lot of people that have lots of knowledge about ontology and they are there to help you.
If there's something you want one-on-one, I'm also there. You can chat me up. But it's good if you put the question in the group so that's what us will learn from your question
and maybe they will get one or two.
So Erin was able, she was able to post the group link
in the comment section.
If you have not yet joined the group, please,
you should do that so that you don't miss out.
Yeah, I think we have godly godly is back
yeah where comes
once again gmgm everyone gm everyone it has been a crazy space day from one space to another.
So I joined initially with my alt account.
And now I am back with my main account.
Yes, after Elon banned my other account.
So I'm back with my new main account.
So GM everyone, I've been listening actually. I've been listening and it's a sad thing.
I wasn't able to come in contact with Joffrey before he left,
but that's not an issue.
There's still more and more space we're going to do together.
So just like I've said before, yeah,
I don't know if the person that asked that question is still here.
The person that was asking about SDK,
but I think Joffrey answered him, though.
Yeah, because me, I told you guys, and I said I did a little research, not literature.
I did a lot of research on Ontology Network, and I got to understand quite a lot of stuff
about it. And to be honest, in Africa, millions of people will lack access to reliable national identity system.
And it's a good thing the ontology network is bringing it to us here in Nigeria.
And that was the lack of access that we have.
It is limiting our ability to use even banks.
It is limiting our ability to use banks, access credits credits or even participate fully in this web
theory space and this is what aunt id can even change what outside they can change that but
it's giving we users a self-owned it's giving us a cell phone very um english shadow a cell phone
very viable identity you understand you understand it is borderless. So it is secure.
And the sweetest part of it is that you have it under control.
It is decentralized.
That's one beautiful thing about everything attached to Web3.
Decentralized.
So imagine you have a place where people can go to. Imagine you have a place where people can go to.
Imagine you have a place where people can go to and confirm your identity.
Probably, let's say you want to work with a, sorry, am I audible?
Can you hear me?
Yeah, I can hear you.
Okay, let's not be like I'm talking to myself.
So let's assume you want to work for,. Okay. Just like when we're sitting now,
I can I'm sure majority of the firms we work for outside Africa.
I for one majority of the firms I've worked with or projects,
let me say projects, projects I've worked with actually outside Africa,
different part of the of the world.
So imagine you have a place, a platform whereby
a project wants to wants to wants to approach you and the need to verify your
identity, they need to verify who you are and you can tell them, OK, that's good.
Check out my aunt's ID and they check out everything you represent and who you stand
for. Don't you don't you see how seamless that is?
Look at how seamless it is.
Look at how beautiful that sounds.
Again, so this is one of the advantages
Ontology Network is bringing to Africa, and it is a good thing.
We haven't started yet in Nigeria.
Yes, if you are outside Africa, like they all said, you can join the community.
It is open for everyone in Africa
at the moment before we start expanding to the remaining part of Africa. But yes, Nigeria
is tasting the first cake and we shouldn't slack. Make we no slack. It is in Nigeria
stuff. Make us speak Piji. We shouldn't slack you get yeah let us let us um leverage on this um opportunity and
let us get the best out of it don't don't um don't don't let this pass you by because
before you know one thing about web3 is it is a face this thing is coming now it is looking
as if they are even to beg us when it gets to gets to a time, we'll be the one choosing after it
because it will become saturated,
and a lot of people will have known about it.
So now we are getting first-time information, first-time value.
So let us...
It is open to quite a lot of us.
Imagine one project giving value to builders,
one project giving value to DJs, one project giving value to builders, one project giving values to DGNs,
one project giving values to users.
That is to tell you everyone from different fields
actually has a place in the ontology network.
So yeah, that is what we were preaching.
And yes, in subsequent time,
we'll be doing more of ontology network education.
And yes, me personally i look forward to
having a lot of us in the community and let us be building the community together the community that
consists of builders come to that consists of traders a committee that consists of users you
know it is it has it has unlimited um unlimited abilities unlimited value to provide us, to let us leverage it.
And the best way we can leverage it is learning about it ourselves.
There are some people, the internet now is available for everyone.
Everyone can access the internet, but not everyone can leverage the internet.
But the more you learn about the internet, the more more you know about Internet, the better it is.
The Web three is part of the Internet.
Yeah, Web three, that's why we call Web three, the third version of the Web.
It is about the Internet.
So a lot of us don't even know what it is about.
But the more you leverage it, we have leveraged it to an extent that's why we're on Web three.
Some people are still talking even in Web one. Some of course majority of people are stuck in web two i think we have
just about over 10 of the world in web city at the moment so that means it is growing and it is a
good thing we are part of the first 10 of the world imagine billions of people and just 10
percent are in web 3 at the moment and we are part of it. That means we are early.
No matter how you think about it, we are early.
So let us leverage the opportunity.
We have average what we have in front of us.
There's a lot of things we can gain from Ontology Network and there's a lot of things we can
give back to Ontology Network.
So let us do this together.
Let us be the community together for Ontology.
And yes, I am here.
You are here.
Let us do great things together. I'll be yes i am here you are here let us make let us do great
things together i'll be here i'll still be on the mic let me listen to every one of us when i have
something else to chip in godly is here yeah thank you so much godly yeah godly is a space host
as you can see it does a better job than me um this is my first time yeah it's my first time hosting a
space so as a developer i don't have any job talking to people this much um because you're
doing good man you're doing good actually but the thing is i'm actually i'm actually a community
builder community leader you know a web3 educator so these things are they they definitely have to come with um
they definitely have to come with austin spaces talking to a lot of people being in front of
people so i guess it's a natural trait but thank you but you're doing well man you're doing i've
been listening of course i've been listening i just got off a space with over 600 people too like while we're on space i was on another space
talking to you understand so yes i'm here now fully 100 i've left that space i've done dropping
my alpha let's talk let's listen to ourselves and let's build yeah thank you so much and yeah you
people should applaud godly because he's the he's the one behind the idea of hosting this
space so uh for me i'm i'm not interested oh should i i don't want to use the word interested
i wasn't looking forward to hosting this piece um on x because uh we we do have like weekly call on Google Meet where we meet together.
That's where I'm more comfortable.
But for X, no.
But it's good, Sha.
It's good.
You have to start somewhere.
And like Godly said, this is like a wonderful opportunity for Africa.
I can remember when I was in school, I studied in India.
And for my parents, because that time they had to
send me money for my brain to send me money they have to pass through a lot i go to western union
send the money before it reach me it would take like weeks and if i go there to show my identity
my my passport my school id card and so on and so forth. But when Web3 came,
you know, when people embraced blockchain,
the things were easier.
Like if they will send me money,
I just have to send my wallet address
and then I'll get payment in an instant.
So you see, the middleman has been deleted.
That's been, it wasn't there again.
So that was a barrier that Web3 solved.
And in terms of decentralized identity, because we do have so many scammers,
and my journey coming to ontology is is a it's a funny one and a and a bitter story because um
someone's counting off my money i was thinking uh he's the person is real the person is genuine
and my money is safe not knowing that that person was impersonating another person that i thought
that person was impersonating another person that i thought uh i knew so you see um yeah
i can see the emojis right it's it's a it's a heartbreaking story but it's something that i've
learned my lesson but the hard way and i and then i made sure that i need to find something that will
stop those kind of things from happening um so that's when I want to do a business with you,
when I want to make any transaction,
I need to make sure that I can trust you.
I need to make sure that you are reliable.
I need to make sure that, yeah,
what I'm doing is something that's in the long run,
I won't regret.
So again, that's my story.
And then I started, started you know as a computer
science student started checking for for the tech that would solve your problems and then I came
um to find out yeah ontology is is solving that problem so that's what that's why I joined and
when I joined uh to my greatest surprise there were not many Africans to be precise yeah there were not many Africans
and for Nigerians I think they are three in number in the whole team so when I came I said okay I need
to in the community even though community wasn't my thing I started building the community I started
talking to people I think I've spoken with one content creator in the MOTS, NIFS in Kaduna.
So she was able to help me and provide a message, post it on a Facebook group, and people came in.
And from there, we started building the community.
So you see, it's not long that we started building the property. It's not long, maybe three to four months ago.
And we reached into this number and the ecosystem was able to provide funding because we now have funding for the community.
The ecosystem was able to provide funding for us.
They are able to invest in the African market.
So this is something that we shouldn't take lightly.
It's something that we should be grateful.
It's something that we should show them, yeah,
we are worth the investment.
And like I said, right now we need volunteers,
but definitely we also offer like support.
We incentivize our community members,
even if you are a volunteer there's reward
and before i give my to to to other people i think i need to put the word out there um i don't know
whether sarsin is here with us but every tuesday every tuesday by 12 pm yeah 12. Yeah, 12 p.m. 9 a.m. UTC.
You can come back to that.
11 a.m. UTC.
It's just one hour ahead.
West African time.
You should join the Telegram main channel
where we get to discuss,
where we get to know each other,
where we get to know our community members.
We get to pick a topic, talk about it,
and then at the end, you win some NFfts which if you accumulate 10 nfts you get to convert them to real cash we also host monthly quiz where we ask our community members what
has happened in the community during that month so if you're active if you're really committed
all the questions are simple it's not something that is difficult every uh first tuesday of the
month we have a worldly uh challenge where we reward people um with some nfts too and I think I've seen Yusuf, yeah, Yusuf is Tiago,
if I'm pronouncing the name right,
Yusuf is Tiago who participated in one of our campaign
and just yesterday, he was announced the winner.
He won $60, yeah, $60 convert to nairaisis.
Yeah, it's something that is manageable manageable but it's a whole lot of
money someone who does dash you 60 when you participate in just creating ai image once
you create the air image post it under the comment section and boom you'll be uh. And I came to understand that not many applicants
participate in that campaign
because I was pushing the whole thing in the Telegram group,
making sure people participate in all the campaigns,
but only few, I think only few participate in the campaign.
But this is something that's, well, you heard it from me.
From now on, it's business as usual.
We should, yeah, we should make sure
that we move this whole movement forward.
It's something that I really look forward to.
And yeah, I think maybe I should join with my own uh x accounts where if you have you can follow
me i'll follow back and get to talk if you have any idea i'm welcome to hear any of your ideas
that will push the community forward so um i think was it defy defy if you are the one to the best for the speaker
okay yeah I'm not I've noted to say for now I'll just go through the documentations thank you very
much I'm already in the discord channel already so i'll just navigate my way
through then in case of any questions i'll come back to the telegram and ask my questions here
yeah thank you
sorry wait did you say something
coming okay okay okay so i'm back you guys never were coming back no problem so um
i do i actually i'm not 100 sure what has been covered before but i don't want to keep on talking, talking, talking, talking. We have I'm sure we definitely have people
here who who actually have things to ask, because I'm sure
this is like the first time some of us are learning about
ontology network. So if you have anything to ask, okay, oh,
please give me the cost. Give me the costs in a position.
I could call them so I can actually add new speakers if they request.
I hope you heard me.
Nevertheless, for for we on the speaker, for we on the speaker, if we have anything
to add or subtract from, yeah, if we have anything to add or subtract from.
Yeah, if we have anything to add or subtract from probably a developer.
If I can't I would I would dodge it, but we record the question down.
So once I have an answer, I was a team of an answer.
We'll drop it in the community.
You understand.
So with that being said, if you are currently not on the speaker row
if you're currently not on the speaker row and um you need to be according on the speaker okay
bannabas is back as a ghost good so if you're currently on the speaker and you have a question

here to help ourselves grow actually to help ourselves. So that's why we are here actually.
So whatever way, whatever talent you think,
or whatever skill you think you can help ontology,
you can use and help in ontology grow here in Nigeria,

We are here to use every help that we can get we're here to use
every um yeah every up that we can get every skill we can lay our hands upon that is why we are here
so we are open to every suggestion we're open to every questions we are open to every collaboration

Let us, sorry for if I use the wrong gender.
Sorry about that.
So let us hear from you, Ian Olua.

Why not eating anything?
do you have anything
anything to contribute?
We are open to all suggestions,
all contributions.
Let us have it.
Thank you, Godly.
Yeah, I was able to join with my account.
You can see Barnabas.
I have issues with my laptop, so I don't know.
It's something that has never happened.
And when I started this whole space thing,
it started kind of like giving me issues.
But as you can see, I don't want to talk
in like using the laptop I had to use my phone but as a co-host I can accept
people to come upstage ask any question provide feedback on the way forward we
are open open for that that's the meaning of a community. We should work together and then achieve our common goal.
So moving forward, I think it's good that I should also let the community know
very soon we are having collaborations coming up.
The person that made that happen is here with us, Yawande. Yawande is in the
listener section. Yeah, she was someone that really, yeah, she really provided some awesome
ideas on how we can grow the whole community. Yeah, she's a community builder too. And for me,
when I started, like I said, I'm not a community builder.
It was a very difficult task, but it's something that I took up on myself
that I need to share this whole awesome technology with my fellow Africans,
with my fellow Nigerians, so that I shouldn't be the one to know about it. I think people should have the opportunity
to listen to this.
What ontology is doing here?
To listen to
is something we are
and then she and I,
we are really talking on how to make that possible. so is it just me or is bernabas rogan is it just me yeah i think bernabas is okay
oh okay so bernabas in case you can hear us, we can't hear you, man. We can't. So.
While we wait for the host and co-hosts join together,
while we wait for them to be back,
does anyone have something to say to us?
Out of the people with the mic,
do anyone have something to say to us def p have we spoken i
want to hear from you yanolua you're on the mic section let's hear from you let's hear from everyone
you guys want to speak let's hear from you guys
yeah all right i think i've spoken before you came to you know before you go back on the mic
All right, I think I've spoken before you came to, you know, before you go back on the mic.
And yes, if there's anything I want to say, of course, we can always, I think for me, I just want to say to everyone that is listening to the space, the space is simply directly just about, you know, introducing everyone to ontology network and how you can be involved in the ecosystem.
in the ecosystem and uh you can actually check the jumbotron to join the telegram channel
and get up to date with information going on on the ontology network if you are a developer where
uh the ontology network is working on how to improve the documentation so that people want to
build and you know have straight i mean have clear direction to how they should you know navigate
their way in the speak in the you know ecosystem and also it has been said on the space
that um yeah regardless of whatever talents that you have you know content creator community builder
anything at all that you are you can be involved in this
in the community and you know contribute your quota and yes fortunately we are here on this
space you happen to be having the first hand information the the the building of this
community is currently in the early stage and uh yeah, you can really contribute. You can write, thread, create content, video content,
and yeah, be active.
And also invite people to come along too.
There's going to be, you know,
there's going to be community calls
majorly on Telegram,
and you can check the Ontology Network account.
When you check the Ontology account,
you'll see the link tree.
I'm very starting with that.
You can actually join the Discord channel and all other channels too,
as well as all those channels as well.
So really, that has been it for the space since I joined the space.
And yeah, if you have any questions whatsoever,
maybe you're probably thinking if,
I know somebody might have a question if, you know,
they... probably thinking if I know somebody might have a question if you know they in fact I'm really really glad about that so yeah if you want to say something if you want us to
you know if you have any question
question mike and you'll be giving the mic to ask your questions and if you do not have any
question of course you can head straight to Telegram and be there for when, you know, another activity is going to come up and you can join us and, you know, be a part of all of this.
So, yeah, that's been it.
That's been it.
Thank you, Yanulua.
So now I am on the co-host seat.
Now I can accept in case you have something to ask us
and you don't have the mic yet.
Okay, okay.
You can speak.
I wasn't hearing you before.
Am I audible now?
Yeah, you are.
Okay, good.
So in case you are down there in the listener session
and you i'd like to say something to us you would like to ask questions
or whatever you can request for the mic now yes i am now sitting on the core seats so I can accept it.
Yeah, so thank you, Iyanoluwa, for touching those areas.
Thank you very much for touching those areas.
I have taken it upon myself that we have Web3 education. I say Web3 education.
We have ontology network education.
Web3 education is not in my head.
Because I'm actually a Web3 educator and I have a class for Web3 educators.
But now I want to start ontology network education where we talk all things ontology network.
ontology network education, where we talk all things ontology network.
And of course, I'll be starting that with some of my students in my community.
And yes, we'll be starting from there, but not just there.
We already have a community for ontology network.
And I'm pretty sure a lot of people in the ontology network community don't even know
where they are.
Some just clicked the link because they saw the link.
Some just joined the community because they heard they play once in a month game.
They win something.
Probably that's why some people joined.
But the reason why you joined is not actually the problem.
I've also joined different platforms with different reasons that that is not
serving the platform itself.
But with time, I learned about the platform and I integrated myself properly into it.
That is what we want to do with Ontologyology network even though you are here for the vibe
even though you're here for the fun of it while having fun while catching fun with ontology
network we want you to understand it properly same way we are teaching web3 to people so when
you get out there your younger brother asks you brother what do you do something with pd what is web 3 you have done found it so that is what we actually preaching to why how can you preach ontology
network to your friends when you you can't even when you can't even explain what you're preaching
so um i'll create out time out of my schedule so i'll be able to do I know I'm devoting that particular time to it. So we'll be talking ontology network education. So
you guys should look forward to that. We'll be doing that and a
lot more. We'll be doing that and a lot more. So you guys should
look forward to that. Like I said, if you have anything to
ask us anything to tell us, anyway, you think you can help
ontology network
because right now we are the one i'm told you network is trying to help us so
that let us help and tell us in the network too so let us do it was the
great things together that's the great things together um there's the great
things together um okay i have a hand up i'll be handing english shadow bluntly bluntly comics let's hear from you
yeah thank you for the opportunity again uh sorry i was helping the little ones get ready for school
when i was trying to talk earlier um i was just simply trying to ask a few questions as a consumer
um like i said i've been in the shadows for a while. Been around for maybe about four years since the last bull run.
Just ask some questions.
So when I first got into ontology, I was told about it being, you know, for identity.
It was for secure identity on the blockchain.
Are we still doing that?
Is that still our aim?
If not, what is?
I hear about identity on the blockchain a lot now so i would
assume if we are are we like secretly one of the leaders um what are we doing i see that we're
building in the discord i see that we're always having some like monthly uh something's going on
but i mean but where is it where's the steps leading to that's what I'd like to know again thank you for your time and if you say
something that I would like to ask a question or rebuttal or build off of I'll
put my hand back up but yeah thank you for your for the time and opportunity
yeah thank you so much Bluntley comics Comics. Am I audible? Yes, sir.
Okay. Yeah, thank you.
Yeah, we are still on that.
Decentralized identity.
Anthology is one of the forefronts leading in that sector.
Yeah, we are still on that.
But not only decentralized identity,
we also focused on reputation,
where whatever you do on chain
follows you everywhere. We also focused on data security, so that when you come, we make sure that
everything that you put on the chain or everything that you put on the system is secured. We give you that web-free infrastructure for privacy and security.
And then we also focused on ZKTLS, ZKP, zero knowledge proof, where no one will have access
to your information. You get to share what you want people to see. You're in total control of
your information, of your data and everything. So those are the core aspects of what ontology focused on.
And yeah, I think it's good to hear from you
because you said you've been in part of the ecosystem
for four years.
Yeah, this is something that commendable
and very remarkable.
Thank you for that.
And hope I was able to answer your question.
Yeah, thank you.
You were sorry to jump back in.
Another quick question that I did have is, are you guys familiar with the base?
We can't hear you.
You can't hear me?
Okay, you are all right. we can't hear you you can't hear me okay you're okay sorry about that uh walking around um my
next question was are you guys familiar with uh i'm sure you are with the base uh mainnet
and are is there any plans to uh connect with that so we can use base.
Yeah, for the base app, yeah, I think yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm familiar with that.
So they are in a beta phase right now
giving people invites
I think. It's not
for everybody. You must have an invite before
you can be able to download
the app. And yeah,
so I don't know.
Do you have any question to ask or just whether we are familiar with base or not?
Now, my question was, I was trying to buy some ontology.
I was using this app called Bankerbot.
I don't know if you guys are familiar with Bankerbot.
It's kind of new.
It's on Twitter going crazy.
And you can buy, it's pretty much just an agent.
Are you gonna go to bed?
Oh, sorry.
No, no, you're good, you're good.
Damn, what was I doing? Sorry about that. I got distracted. Sorry, I lost my train of thought. yeah let's give it time so that you can think on the question you want to ask
so I think the person has dropped down yeah he has dropped down so I'm going to
give godly the flow you should keep on putting the good vibes, yeah. Positive vibes, yeah. Godly.
Can you guys
Yeah, we can hear you.
Okay. I think I'm having issues with my but but since you guys said you can hear
me I think that's good then so I don't know if I got the question correctly I
don't know if I got I'm bluntly bluntly comic currently.
I'm having issues with... Sorry, can you go on?
Oh, please. For like
a few seconds.
Yeah, for bluntly, he has lost his
train of thought, so he's trying to think
on the questions he's going to ask.
That's his second question.
So I said let's give him time
uh i'm ready now sorry about that okay yeah go on so what i was saying was there's a um
there's an app on twitter it's called uh bank robot and it's pretty much just a bot that you command like chat gpt and you can pretty much have it by
uh you can have it buy the the coins for you you can have it leverage for you you can put a stop
loss you can do all this verbally just talking to the app and it has a whole bunch of coins and i
was trying to buy some ontology with it but um ontology wasn't under the base mainnet, so it couldn't find the address.
So I was just trying to see if you guys were going to be in the base mainnet. So not just me,
but I'm sure there's other people that would like to use it. But it's definitely a big game changer and you guys should take advantage while
you can and yeah that's it thank you very much yeah thank you so much for the question yeah
so on that i'm i'm not in a position to to answer whether we are going to be on the basement net or not.
But yeah, your question is well received.
I'm going to push it forward to get an answer.
You should make sure you follow our main ontology channel
or this account so that whenever there's an update,
you get to see it.
Yeah, thank you so much.
So now I totally understand Bluntly Code.
You were trying to ask us, you're trying to tell us that,
I mean, Bluntly Comics, sorry, I got your name wrongly. So I think you were trying to tell us that i'm bontley comic sorry i got your name wrongly so i think you
were trying to inform us that you tried buying on from um you tried buying it from um a platform
and um you imputed our our our our token and it couldn't bring it out which means weren't there
so you're trying to tell us to
leverage the opportunity to expand towards there did i get that right yeah i think i got that right
so just like the host said um yeah just like the host said we um uh we are he is not actually in the
in the in the space in the or in the best space at the moment to to give a
a definite response to that but just like he said all he can do right now he'll be communicated to
the team and uh of course if there's a new development concerning that it will be communicated
to every one of us so apparently it's a good thing you've been um in the ecosystem for about
four years it's a very good thing so can been in the ecosystem for about four years. It's a very good thing.
So can you share your experience about ontology with us?
Apparently most of us here, we are either new to ontology network
or we aren't that new, but not as long as you have been.
So is there any significant experience or any significant points
you would like to point out to
any of to every one of us bluntly comics yeah sure i'd like to speak on a little bit i was brought
the the coin the token was brought to my attention a little bit last bull run by one of my buddies
he had jumped on it and he was telling me about this uh significant airdrop that was given
and i was like wow that's pretty crazy so i jumped on and was holding on for a little bit on crypto.com
and out of nowhere i got a airdrop of some omg and he had let me know oh yeah if you hold the
coin on here you'll get you know, airdropped ONG.
And I said, oh, that's pretty cool.
So I was looking into it.
And then that's when I ran into Onto Wallet, O-N-T-O.
And I seen that they had the staking.
And I seen that APY was pretty nice.
So jumped on that.
Been doing that for, like I said, a couple of years.
I've just been enjoying the passive income.
And while I'm just sitting around, I've paid attention, like I said, inside the Discord.
I see what's going on most of the time.
I don't participate with all of the tasks that you guys have going on.
But they are awesome. I love that there's still
innovation happening, that they are building,
that there's collaborations with a lot of people.
Me and my friends are always talking about that. We just question, though,
because when I first got into crypto, I was huge into it. I was trying
to research anything and everything. i was on youtube uh reddit twitter going into the trenches if you
know what i mean and um you know when i first got into the game ontology had a lot of videos on
youtube they had a lot of little information here and there what they were doing what they were
trying to do and it's dried up tremendously so that was one of my main concerns is like you know there's no nobody's making youtube videos no one's uh
that was i mean that's just the youtube video was my main thing because watching it and i think the
last video is about five years ago or something it just makes you wonder like are we even still
in that course but um not to uh sidetrack. I think it's great.
Passive income is great.
I'm here for the long ride.
Just to read it.
That's it.
Thanks for you guys' time
and thanks for the opportunity.
Yeah, thanks so much.
Yeah, I think i should go first then uh you could host we go uh yeah when it comes to when ontology came in uh yeah there was an airdrop and like you said uh maybe
you stake your coin and then it was uh any when you stake ong, definitely you earn ONG.
So that's how the staking works.
Ontology is a dual token system.
So we have ONT, that's our governance token,
and then ONG for utility token,
that's for transaction fees,
GAS in the Web3 language. So yeah,
I think the whole experience has
been a good experience for you.
And if it is some,
maybe if someone is interested here,
I'm not sure. So if you guys are
interested, the Ontology
Africa can start running
its own node.
And yeah, the
APR will be around 30 something for something percent
and this share rate ratio also will be let's say 90 uh for the stickers and 10 for the uh not runner
so it's it's a good uh passive income if you want your coins to work for you that's something you
should definitely uh look out for and yeah thank you so much, Bluntly Comics.
I think the people that are listening
kind of understand, okay,
your experience has been a positive one
and it is something that they look forward to.
Even I myself hasn't been in anthology for four years.
So you are an OG.
My respect to you so godly uh take it from here thank you yeah is there anything to take again he's speaking of that's good that's good
so i because i from my research on ontology network i just i had a feeling or i had an
assurance that the the experience would be a positive one so i intentionally just i stick i
i sticked the trust the trustness i don't know if that is a word but i stick the trustness of
ontology network and i i gave him a platform to just you know speak about his experience you know
if it has been a negative experience would have said it too but as you can hear and as you can as
well we've had it we've all um heard from the man himself and yeah, it's a positive experience.
And yeah, we are yet to spread more
positivity amongst ourselves.
And I don't know what you I don't know
what you're waiting for.
Let us build this and build greatness for ourselves.
It was this is a platform to build greatness for ourselves.
And the best that the best of the matter is we haven't done a platter.
We haven't done a platter and we will be doing it together.
The team is solidly behind every one of us, so we'll be doing it together.
It's not like they are just telling you guys build ontology network and they are looking
at us. No, we'll be doing it together.
That's why we have a team called this and this this, whereby that is to tell you everyone is involved.
So, yeah, no one is left alone.
No one is doing anything alone.
The space I've been going on for two hours now.
That's good.
That's good.
That's good.
So, so I don't keep on spitting on my phone.
We have not heard from DevP.
I don't know if you have spoken before, but I have not heard from Def P and Ram Latsu.
Ram Latsu and Def P.
Even if it's just, hello, are you doing godly?
Let me hear something from you guys.
They say ladies first, right?
I think Ram Latsu is a lady.
Let's go Ram Latu.
We lost her. We lost her. We lost him. I don't know if it's a man or a woman behind his account.
But Def P, let's have you. Oh, am I Roggen? Can't you guys hear me? Am I Roggen?
Yeah, we can hear you i'm
not rogan so you guys should reply me i'm not rogan let's hear from you brother let's
hear from you
ouch these people are hearing me that's bad bad. That's bad. Yeah. Okay, so I guess... They've spoken before, like, yeah, there's not...
Yeah, yeah.
I know they might have spoken before.
Yeah, they have spoken before.
God wants to hear from them.
But that's good. That's good.
God wanted to hear from them, but that's good.
Okay, so now let me say this.
Let's make this a little bit interactive.
I understand the fact that some of us might not have questions,
particularly for Ontology
Network, because for adventure, we're hearing about it for the first time.
And we don't know what it is yet.
And we're just learning about it.
So now, yes, the gist.
I'm sure a lot of us here and Web3 space and we represent something Web3 space.
Why not let us do it like this?
Let's give it a little bit of twist.
For example, I am a community builder.
So who are you and what do you think you can do for Ontology Network?
Let's start from there.
Who are you in the web three space?
What do you represent in the web three space?
And how do you think you can be of value to Ontology Network?
Let's start from there.
I think that should get people talking more.
So if you're not on the speaker role and you think you want to talk to us,
yo guys, I'm an ambassador and I can represent ontology network very well.
Let us hear from you.
After all, we're building a community of where everyone is going to be involved.
Let us hear from you.
Request for the mic.
And for those on the speaker already, we want to know you.
Who are you and who do you represent?
Still, you guys don't want to take the speaker.
Oh, I think someone sent a request now.
Did you cancel it?
No, don't do that on me.
Request for the mic.
Let me accept again.
Let me accept again.
Or has it been accepted by the host?
Let us know you are.
Let us know what you represent and
let us know um who you are in the web 3 world and how you can help ontology network is here from you
guys that means he's trying to send requests but as soon as you send it it is dropping why why is
it dropping it shouldn't be dropping pleasure from
you guys host over to you i hope your people will talk if they don't talk i will come to you guys
house and drag you i'm godly i have to pop out yeah yeah yeah so you guys should request for the mic
and if you have anything to say or anything to add we're are here to answer all the questions. You guys
maybe you want to know
about specific
products or
anything about ontology.
We are here to answer.
I think I would like to
give a shout out to
our community members.
The first community members that are here
with us. They've been with us when we started, and they are still with us till date, like Adamo Shalku, Taye, Yusufi Shalku, John Ayobami, and I think Sakina, yeah, so those are, yeah, I think I've got the name right, Sakina. Yeah. So they've been with us when we started.
Like, nobody knew about ontology when they came in.
They were able to utilize the classes we were hosting that time.
So we were trying to teach people about ontology, what ontology is, why ontology, why we're
in Africa, why we're building this technology. So they've
been with us. And then I would love to hear from one of them so that they will tell us their
experience and how has the learning transformed their life. If it is something that they are open,
they should request for the mic. And then
we give them that opportunity to say what they want to say based on their experience thus far.
So I think we have new speakers, Emis and Mina Talks. So we are going to give a mix uh the opportunity to to say our
why what he represents and what he does yeah thank you
oh for me i'm a content writer i think after talking to
um the whole last anth. I think that's it.
We had a discussion about the thing, you know, briefly about what it was about.
I agree with the middle school.
So I told him I was a content writer and I was doing the content and all of that.
I'm satisfied, no problem.
And I think that was, I can't remember the exact thing, but that was last week.
I've been posting my content about it every day. I think when I posted, I made a thread,
I could fully ask about the skills that we're having now at the moment.
So since when we talked last week, I've been engaging, making my posts every day.
I don't think I've ever missed the appalling today of the life and everything was just focused on the life.
So I've been engaging and I make my posts every single day concerning ontology.
And I've seen lights, I've seen replies, you know, little but I need to sum better than nothing.
The time, everything will definitely come up time everything will come up.
I'm also an ambassador for the three academy.
So that's what I do.
Yeah, thank you thank you thank you emis thank you for that so apparently emis is a content
writer and is willing to keep on putting our words in people's faces yeah thank you we really
appreciate you for that brother so um i think we have another new speaker here we have uh
I think we have another new speaker here.
We have Mina Talks.
Mina, can we hear you talk?
I want to hear you talk.
Let's hear you talk.
You can have the mic, Mina.
Sorry, guys, am I Rogan?
Or I'm the only one that can hear Mina?
Yeah, me too.
I can hear her.
Mina Talks. I't hear you talk increase the volume of your talk ash i still can't hear you though yeah yeah if you are using, let's say, mic.
Sorry, headphone.
You should remove the headphone.
Maybe it's a network or maybe she's using headphone.
We don't know.
DevP, go on.
Yeah, all right.
So I've been waiting for the silence.
I've been spending some time reading documentation. Yeah, I love what you guys are doing. And let me see how it goes. I will
just build one or two products to test the platform and give my feedback to you. Mr. I think, are you on Telegram? Let me know if I can...
Is he here?
If you are in the Nigerian Telegram group,
please, I'm meeting my... Yeah, if you are in the Nigerian Telegram group,
you can check me out, Barnabas,
and then you can message me.
Also, I would like to put the word out there that we are not only looking for people that want to build from the ground up.
Maybe you have an idea and you want to build on the ontology chain.
We are not, yeah, we are focused on that, but not entirely.
If you have already made products and you want to integrate ontologies
technologies into your product
you are more than welcome.
It's something that we are open
to. We can talk
and let's see how
we can help you.
Maybe you need
some kind of support. It can be
technical support.
It can be financial support it can be financial supports
well so they I don't know whether you guys know but we have a ten ten million
did for ten million dollars did phone so we want builders we want people that
already they have their already made products and they want to integrate
ontologist technology into their platform.
You are more than welcome.

I love applause for ontology.
So, um, like you heard from the host, don't,
it is not just about the idea you, you have in your head.
I know there are some builders that they've already built their products.
They've already built their project and they're thinking, oh, I already built it.
So I can know everyone.
I welcome everyone is welcome.
So you can bring your project in.
You guys, I have my project.
I already built it, but I like to integrate it into the ontology ecosystem.
You are welcome.
You are very much welcome.
