off the Dozcoin coming to you all live from the OC account today. Just be with us moment as we get a few things in place here. We are going to be chatting with Cato. We've got Vince from Cato and I believe we might even have someone else from the team jumping up. Find out the moment.
which I bring up into the car horse.
Alright, if I am not mistaken, Vince should now be able to speak.
Oh no, some reason it didn't come up as a speaker. Always a little glitch with Twitter.
and be able to do this just a moment. And as per usual, this space will be recorded by Terra Spaces.
and you'll be able to let's make that on terraspaces.org I think. I think kind of Vince can now jump out. Can you hear me there mate? Yes sir, what's going on? Hey, how you going? Doing good man, looking forward to this. Likewise, what I'm going to do before we kick things off is I'll just find out his
anyone else that's jumping on the call today? Yes, so Cato John there should be helping on as well. Great, I'll bring Cato John up. Great, so we've now got Cato John coming up.
I feel like I've been watching so much of yours and Emory's recent content and I feel like I can't have know you at this point but I'm looking forward to getting to know you better over the next hour if anyone that's tuning in as with most OC spaces they typically run for 1M.
ask questions if you feel shy about getting up on stage other than that. With that being said, Kato, Vince and Kato, John, welcome to the overall command through the Spaces. Hello, both of you.
Awesome. So what I'll do is just kick it off with finding out a quick bit about both your roles. Obviously I know that actually I will let you answer. If you're able to just kind of give the people a quick rundown who you are and what you do.
>> Cool. Yes, so real quick here, Vince, co-founder, COO here at Cato, really leading up our business development and partnership efforts.
And, Cato, John here. I'm the head of product over at Cato. So all things road map, all things, you know, building out what we're doing now, what we're doing later, what we're excited about building, you know, all that is product.
It's been fantastic. Sorry.
What I'll do for anyone that I'm sure most people on this call probably know exactly what Kado is, but maybe some don't. So to people that don't, what is the sort of TLDR of Kado?
Yeah, so TLDR, Cato, building payments infrastructure for Web 3, really focusing on these Web 3 native businesses and how do we onboard users directly into their application or into their use case and make it
much more seamless than it has been in the past. So right now, we're really focusing on Fiat to crypto solutions and onboarding the world into Web 3 directly. And many more exciting verticals and use cases in the future.
fantastic and for everyone that doesn't know obviously Kato were around pre-Terracrash and of course that put a spanner in the works but you guys bounced back really quickly I believe it was about a two week turnaround and that was that right?
Yeah, yeah, I mean it was, you know, just like a flash there and we had to move quick. I think, you know, that event kind of took everyone by surprise even, you know, understanding the risks of the ecosystem and kind of the, you know, exciting experiment that was, you know, happening there. But we've always been focused on the multi-chain
story, the multi chain approach, we're never putting all our eggs in that basket, but it was a great proof of concept for us to really get our training wheels off, so to speak of the FIA on and off ramp approach and learning to ins and outs of that experience and really getting our product market fit essentially of
being this Web 3 savvy on ramp that is needed in the space today and really this community on ramp. As we serve the Terri ecosystem and kick back into the needs of all the builders in ways we could onboard folks directly into their protocol, into their application, and we realized that so many ecosystems out there in
three need exactly that. So it was a logical approach to jump right into the Cosmos ecosystem. We're really excited about the innovation that's happening there with the App Chain world and the future of native Cosmos USDC and YDX moving over from Ethereum to building their own
happening on the phone with a bunch of these ecosystems and building out ways so we could support them as soon as possible. So it might have felt like a week or two there, but we're live before the V2 launch, but it definitely felt longer as we were grinding it out and getting ready to build. So just a quick kudos to the team and everyone, John, everyone that handled
