It's Kaylin today behind the ex-cohost account.
We've got a really great space today.
We're going to be going over some really cool updates,
what's coming next to XCohost.
We'll be also going over some of the new features
we're currently building with XCohost at the moment,
some of the updates that we're building out.
We've had a really productive week this week.
We're currently building some new infrastructure
into the platform.
Some of the cool infrastructure that we're currently working on,
I'm super stoked to share with you all, we'll get into shortly. But before we get into all that,
first things first, I do owe DeFi a co-host slot on this space. I appreciate you allowing me to
make you a co-host on the main space, my friend. I just added you up. And yeah, I want to get into
it. I first want to say I'm going to start doing these town halls weekly, mainly because
I've been having the absolute pleasure of
talking to so many new users that are signing up
on Xcohost to host.
And one of the calls I just got off of this
morning was one of my most favorite calls I've had with
the Spaces host in a minute.
I also want to give a special shout out and
show to the stage Dave.
Super grateful for you my friend.
I had an amazing conversation with you this morning.
How you doing this morning brother? I'm doing good my man. Thank you for having me. I had an amazing conversation with you this morning. How you doing this morning, brother?
I'm doing good my man. Thank you for having me. Yeah, dude amazing convo
I'm super excited for everything you guys got cooking out here
Excited for everything you guys are building. I love throwing around the ideas with you man
So yeah, this is the place to be I'm seeing this opportunity is absolutely freaking massive
So shout out to you man and everything you
and your team are building out here dude.
So kudos, let's cook bro.
We got a good space today.
I also want to say dude, I mean,
this stage is just packed with like such great spaces hosts
and such great knowledgeable spaces builders.
On my right, I have co-hosting with us DeFi,
King, I should call you,
I should start your, you need to rename your title on X to like,
like, like D, like, like X co-hosts
FUD and platform destroyer.
This guy is the king of finding problems in this platform,
which has made you like, dude, an invaluable asset, dude.
Welcome to the stage.
Well, it's not much, it's not much different than gaming.
I know how to go in and, you know, just click buttons and,
you know, figure out what mechanics exist and see where things are a little bit
glitchy. And I guess having a bit of a photographic memory, I'm able to actually,
you know, recreate the bug in my head when I realize,
oh wait, that's what happened.
Yeah, I like all that stuff.
It's just like I'm a nerd. What's up, guys?
Super grateful for you to be here today, bros.
We got some good features we'll be going over
to as well as we get this ball started here.
First things first, I want to reset the room
before we welcome our other guests to the stage.
This is the Xcohost town hall.
This is Kaylin behind the Xcohost account,
and today we're going to be going over what's happening on Xcohost,
welcoming some new hosts to the platform.
We're also going to go over the current features that have recently shipped,
and we're going to go over some of the new features we're building.
One thing I love about these spaces,
I get to get into so much user feedback from the hosts that are building here,
so I'm excited to get by getting into with everybody here.
Up next onto the stage,
we have Stefan, a absolute spaces OG in the space.
My friend, welcome up, how are you?
Doing very well, can you hear me well?
I'm from a PC today,
so I know that's not proper ex-co-host
and ex-spaces etiquette, but I had to do it today.
Phone's a bit busy.
Doing pretty good.
It's been a hell of a ride.
Been building for a while.
Time to get a rock card onto space.
It's time to lock in a bit more.
Hope everyone's been well.
I hope you missed my voice.
Time to start yapping.
Missed you, bros.
I'm excited for you to kick back up.
I find that space is one of those things that's done well in sprints or done in a marathon, but I totally overstand that process, bros. It's definitely such a thing where I find
myself being able to sprint and not sprint with spaces. Our current town hall was a monthly spaces
series, but now I'm trying to push myself to get it out weekly just because it's such a...
It is a process to organize these things, even with tools like Xcohost that make it really,
really easy.
But finding good content to share, I imagine, is tough. What do you think you're going to do? I remember you were covering gaming predominantly. I'm excited to get you and Eero back if you guys
are down to come back and host with us again. I know I was talking to him about our new creator
program too. Are you still covering AI or what are you mainly looking to cover at the moment?
Definitely. AI and gaming. Those two sections are my main things.
My heart is filled with gaming and AI.
Those are the main things.
Now there's a new thing in the AI agent space called MCPs.
Oh my god.
You're going to see everybody on the timeline talking
about this.
I just want to have a record.
I said it first.
Ha ha ha ha.
It's going to be nice.
What's MCP stand for?
So there's I'm gonna give you some alpha when it comes to the world of AI. There's a cool new thing called Manus. It's a
Chinese AI that got launched. It's connected to 29 tools. So
you talk to it, it can build out agents for you, it can build
out games for you, it can build out websites for you. It's
crazy, crazy good. And now like people got super hyped out about
it. They're like, what's going on?
What's this?
How does it work?
And it's just an old way of doing AI agents, which
is you connect an LLM through coding a couple of functions
for given APIs.
So the Chinese guys, they found 29 APIs, 29 services.
They connected.
They coded all the functions.
And they got everything connected.
When it comes to doing something with MCPs,
it just makes it super easy for things.
It's a protocol, stands for model context protocol,
and it's a universal way for LLMs to understand APIs.
It's up to the service provider to just code an MCP,
and you can connect it to literally everything.
You just say one thing that you want in a prompt.
This reduces the amount of coding for LLM agents
or for AI agents by 95%.
You're gonna see people who know nothing about development
just start using Connect an MPC
to a prompt interface like Cloud,
talk to them together and they just do things
super, super fast.
No need for just massive development, wasting time. We're just having technical prowess
You're just gonna be good for it. So I'm gonna I'm gonna let you have that one and I'm gonna give it right back to Kailin
But tomorrow we're doing a space on the wag me help account
Just FYI how agents talk transact and what the fuck is MCP. So yeah tune in tomorrow also, but good one step on
Thank you. Hey, hey, send me a DM. I want to join either as a listener.
I just want to join and be there.
Got you.
You heard it here first, Stefan.
All let us know first, even though Dave, even though he's hosting a space, Stefan,
he did claim it.
We did hear it from him.
So we have to give him the flowers.
Jokes aside, I want to continue welcoming up some more guests to the stage.
Uh, if I hold that thought, we're going to get into it.
We got to talk about ex-co-host.
We got to talk about and welcome some people to the stage.
Chewy, appreciate you joining us, my friend.
As I understand, you're just getting your hosting journey
started on Excoast, but you're no stranger.
I know you're predominantly a popular host
behind one of the other speakers on the stage too as well.
How are you doing, my friend?
I obviously know you have a partnership with Minted as well,
which is really sick.
Yeah, not too bad, not too bad.
Just taking it a little bit easier today.
Just been I
think I've
myself out at the beginning of the week because I was
trying to get in on some stuff and
Yes, just late nights and stuff like that. So I think I think I need some sleep. So I'm probably gonna take off tomorrow and
A longer weekend just to get some rest play play with the dog, go for walks, you know, mess with the kids, you know.
So yeah, I think I need that.
I'm ready for the end of the week now.
I'm not going to lie.
Hell yeah, bros.
Well, welcome aboard to Hosting with XCose.
As always, I know we already gave you your flowers, but I'm super stoked to meet with
you and go over your spaces strategy together. One thing I absolutely love doing is meeting with hosts that use XCohost, as always, I know we already gave you your flowers, but I'm super stoked to meet with you and go over your spaces strategy together.
One thing I absolutely love doing is meeting with hosts that use XCohost and
helping them kind of like figure out like a long-term spaces strategy.
XCohost is really like something like an iceberg.
It's definitely like you, you only see the top 10 to 20% of it, but there's
so much behind the scenes and I'm really excited to be able to like one, do more
community building with XCohost.
You'll, you'll notice that a lot with a lot of the activations
we're doing in the next few weeks.
But I guess that getting into that,
we have some more people on stage.
I'm going to do rolling intros.
I want to do one more on the stage before I
roll through and go over some updates.
From there, we'll do rolling intros.
That just means as the conversation goes,
if you haven't done an intro,
I'm just going to ask you to do a bullet for
us and get the conversation flowing.
Otherwise, we'll have an intro space.
I know we all don't want that.
I guess let's get into it.
First things first, welcome everybody.
This is Exco Host Town Hall.
Every single week, we're going to welcome up users from
the platform where we're taking questions,
learn more about what they need in their hosting journey,
and we also get to talk a little bit about
the features that we currently have rolled out
and what is coming next to Exco.
I guess first things first, as I'm sure many of you have
noticed invites are now live and native on X-Coast.
You have your own speaker networks now available to you.
This is brand new shipped,
and the way that the networks feature works on X-Coast
is any stage you share with the speaker,
that speaker becomes available for you
to ping and invite to your own spaces.
We do have plans to moderate these invites
and also plans to also start introducing more curation features,
but the first version of this is live where you now
have the ability to invite users from XCOS to your
spaces.
Accompanying that, we did also introduce suggested speakers as well,
and then suggested speaker module allows you to see
speakers you maybe haven't shared a stage with,
or maybe are new to the platform and allow you
to invite them to your spaces based off the topics they've selected.
For example, if I'm a host covering marketing,
like I am in this topic for this space right now,
when I go to go manage my space and invite speakers,
ex-co-host will suggest speakers in the marketing category
that have expressed interest in that topic.
So this will also allow you to kind of align your guests
to your spaces a little bit earlier.
We do, excuse me, I'm choking on my own breath there.
I will also say that that is a little bit still
in its earlier stage.
So we're gonna be seeking a lot of feedback from users
on what they wanna see for invites.
Some of the pieces of feedback that we've gotten so far
are suggestions around maybe allowing
to set curation features.
For example, if you're a user on XQhost,
you might want to have prerequisites for who can invite you
to the Twitter space.
So I guess first things first,
have obviously some people on stage
have used the invite feature.
Can I just get a show of hands,
who so far has used the invite feature
as a host on XCoast so far?
Sub Soulbound, sub BK, sub DeFi, sub Chewy. Okay, cool, cool, cool. I'd love to get a quick round of feedback based off that experience so far? Sub soulbound sub BK sub defy sub chewy. OK, cool, cool, cool.
I'd love to get a quick round of feedback based
off that experience so far.
Like what you like about it,
what you don't like or any suggestions you have.
Defy when you kick it off.
Yeah, I mean, I think it's great.
I think one thing that I wish would be there,
like associated with it is a way to
like almost have templated messages to try to invite people to the platform because I still think that's something that's like
maybe not made the easiest for the host is like trying to, you know, on board people like in a DM or something.
If there's like an easy on boarding template message where
we can,
you know,
kind of like invite.
You know people with it with a DM on X
or Telegram or wherever.
I think that would help a lot.
Good, good, great suggestion.
I also want to express for everybody who's listening in right
now. Defy is referring to speakers that are not currently on X
coast.
I actually got some really good feedback recently on a
call actually with Dave Defy and I wanted to ask
your opinion of this feature.
This isn't something that I've discussed internally with the team yet,
but it was the suggestion brought up by Dave and
a few other hosts and the basically Defy.
It seems like there are some users on X cohost
who would like the ability to have a
section in their invites.
Something of like a private network where if you have
their username in their email,
you can just slot them right into your space and it
will auto fill the graphic and send them reminders for
the space without them actually having to create an account.
There's obviously you know it's an idea.
It's a suggestion that's been brought up
and I really like Dave's input that he gave.
Dave, if you would like to share the idea,
if you wanna present it,
I'd love to give you the opportunity to.
Yeah, man, essentially all I was saying was,
and we talked about so much,
I'm literally thinking back right now,
I'm like, holy crap,
where you'll be able to ultimately
have your own network of speakers
because for someone like me, I don't use the Xcohost platform
to get new speaker.
I have my network of just super confident, reliable guys and girls
that I know I can count on.
So it's like if I could just have my own private network
where it doesn't have to be me kind of accepting or denying
or anything else, that would make it really helpful.
But everybody needs those reminders, right? Where it's just like,
I get their email addresses. Then it's like, if I could send them out those email reminders,
that would be hella dope too, because that's the thing that's missing. Twitter space,
Twitter sucks when it comes to reminders. I was telling Kaylen this, unless you're literally
adding it to your iCal or your Google calendar or whatever, you're not getting, and then setting the
actual reminders like 30 minutes before, five minutes before, like I do on my i whatever, you're not getting, and then setting the actual reminders, like 30 minutes before, five minutes before,
like I do on my iCal, you're not really remembering it
if you're just the speaker.
I remember obviously, because it's my space,
but to have that private network,
I think would be hell of fucking,
that would be really, really awesome.
Awesome, and I really liked that feedback too.
I think there's all, obviously there's some components of it
that we'd wanna do, implement to prevent like abuse.
I think and I think what we'll have to introduce is like a claimed profile on
X co-host and unclaimed profile maybe on X co-host of some sort.
This way people can indicate that as well.
But DeFi, I'm curious what your thoughts are on that feature idea.
Yeah, I mean, I think it's a good idea, but on the other side,
I think as's a good idea but I on the other side I think you know as a platform itself like I mean
We should always be pushing towards adoption in my opinion
And if you have a private network that shows up to all your spaces like they should be you know
Friendly enough to want to come over. I think we just need to make it easier for them to
come over is kind of my opinion. I think it's a great maybe
temporary solution, but I think ultimately having easier on-boarding
and pushing for adoption is my opinion. I think both can be true.
I think both definitely can be true in that case.
There's always gonna be people who are unwilling
to go through the process of signing in with X,
even if it's like a one minute process.
I do like both ends of it.
I have been hearing from a lot of users recently,
and ironically, Dave and I,
and after we spoke about, he made a suggestion about, we're talking about a a referral program with XCohost, where if you refer to a certain number of users, there could be a reward system for it.
But I think that's something that we were kind of like discussing internally. You know, I don't want to over-gamify that and like introduce this like new layer that turns into farming of some sort.
But I think it could be really, really good. DeFi, what do you think that would look like for you?
And does anybody else agree, like Chewy, Stefan,
Choys, Soulbound, do you all kind of agree
that you would like a process to be able to have
either like a private network
or be able to like refer users easier?
Yeah, I mean, I definitely think the referral one
because I'll go and refer people and see people
that I know I I referred on there.
I'm just like, oh, that's cool.
They actually signed up.
But yeah, I definitely, I could see the pros and the cons because I think if there's some
kind of like almost like gamification to the referrals and whatnot, it could actually,
you know, almost spark more people speaking and people showing up
in the comments and like shilling their referral links and like maybe being a little bit PVP.
But like, I think a little bit of that might actually be a good thing.
Like, you know, like generate a little competition, a little hype, like, yeah, let's get on each
other's spaces.
Let's like, you know, get people talking and get, you know what I mean?
Like, I think we're missing that a little bit.
I think I agree.
I think there's a good middle ground for both.
Soulbound, you're, you're, you're hamming up.
I'm lagging a little bit.
I don't know if you guys can hear me, but yeah.
I do think I, I prefer all thing each.
It's important.
I mean, I've seen already like three, four accounts
that I know that I have one-on-one conversations with them.
And when the conversation comes towards,
you know, creating content on X spaces,
obviously the first layer I show them is like,
you know, you can simplify the process
because I know you have pain points when you want to create the space and when
you want to invite people and when you want to jump into network and X co-host fixes that,
you know, and behind that's also the, the, the main reason why choice is there.
Uh, I, I pushed forward the, the creation of the Spanish speaking space, but now you
have two or three speakers that are coming creating content in another language.
And, you know, there's no referral for that.
So there should be there totally should be.
Yeah. How would you like that to look, do you think?
You know what's interesting that while we were speaking here, I'm streaming on Soulbound
and I'm like doing video of this, you know, and I have a CS match in the background.
So if somebody jumps there, we'll see you playing CS while trying to talk to you. But how that would look like, it depends
on what you guys want to go with it. Because, I mean, a referral system is going to bring
a bunch of people, an important bunch of people to be onboarded on the platform, because all
of us have individual networks that we will be leveraging towards that, and we have the
experience already of hosting many spaces or speaking in many individual networks that we will be leveraging towards that. And we have the experience already of hosting many spaces
or speaking in many spaces, so it will be easier.
But I do think that, yeah,
most likely we'll have to make the platform more robust
or something like that.
I think another piece of feedback that we need
besides the ratings, it's leaving a comment
on the profile of the host,
being able to do so, not per space, but per account.
That can feed the feedback in a way that it makes more suitable.
But how the program would look like,
it depends on what you guys want to do and how
much energy and power you want to put into it.
I think I guess what I'm more so looking for is as
a host who is referring people to the platform
How would you prefer to look at the end of the day?
It's like, you know when you build incentive models as a company
The first thing you don't want to do is like figure out what's good for ex co-hosts
We have to figure out what what make what's what's the right incentive for someone like soulbound who's hosting
We'd love to hear any ideas you have and I'm gonna go to the other hand soulbound
But if you want to continue commenting on this, let's keep the conversation going.
I'm gonna go to Stefan.
I'm curious what you think on this.
I'm gonna be totally honest.
I am a big fan of gamifying things and especially referrals.
I mean, just think of what happened with Bull X.
They made the referral.
How do you say revolution in crypto?
Because everybody was up for it.
Everybody just wanted to get some referrals
to join the platform.
When it comes to ex-co-host,
I think lots of times some creators want to join the platform,
and when you send them a link,
they just register.
It would be good if you say,
hey, come use this,
I like this, and just get something for it.
That's the main thing. It just seems natural.
It's embedded into every cool feature.
Yeah, I think it's interesting, right?
Because a lot of times when you create referral programs,
there's a monetary component.
But the truth is not every user that signs up on Xcode
is a paying user, but they're still just as valuable.
You know what I mean?
So the thing that we'll have to consider with the referral
program is how we can make it fair and incentivized.
Because the other component is someone
could actually refer
like 80 plus people to the platform
and none of them actually might ever purchase anything
but they're joining tons of spaces, which is again,
great for us and great for everybody.
So we have to find a way to like incentivize that
but it seems like that's something a lot of people want.
Chewie, I'll give you the floor.
Yeah, no, I also like referrals as well.
I actually referred ex-co-hosts just today to
one of my speakers happening on Tuesday. And it just so happened they contacted me and
they said, we want to get onto your show. I just managed to send them the link and said,
yeah, please sign up. Yeah, be great to have you kind of thing. So a referral
system I think works as well in terms of incentivising, you know, if there's an incentive towards both ends
like I think what I've seen referrals done wrongly is just to be one-sided so it only helps the person
So it only helps the person that sends the link out.
But I think some sort of incentive,
both ends really does help.
And there's different activations
that can be done with that as well,
like short-term kind of like access to the site for free,
that kind of stuff as well.
And I think all of those things kind of work
as well. Very traditional sort of systems but they do definitely still work.
And yeah, we just get more people onto the platform as well. And who knows when
when you guys release the the client portal from what I understand
that you're building, I think it would be great for us
to be able to then, you know, be able to host some
of these co-hosts or host some of these spaces
with these clients as well.
And if we've brought them in through referral,
then, you know, there could be some benefits there as well.
Really like that a lot.
I always liked that we do these town halls this way
because I think what's challenging is you can build
a lot of things by yourself.
And it's good that we hear from the users and the customers
that are fueling Xcode to like figure out like
how we can make this easier for you to grow with.
So I'm thinking for one,
I like the feedback regarding private network.
I think that that's good.
I think that that's for those situations where you might,
you know, like think of someone like Chewy who has minted,
who is like a sponsor, you know, Chewy you might, like think of someone like Chewy who has minted, who is like a sponsor.
Chewy, you might just want to like have them
in your private network and book them into your spaces
because you know they're going to show up
or they might not either,
but you know that they're a sponsor, right?
So I think that the private network model is good
for people who have those guests
that they have a contact with,
and they just want to plug them in
so they can keep them in the loop.
Especially for like, I would say a host like Dave,
who've been hosting for three years straight by himself and has built that network.
I think that's helpful.
But I also like the idea of creating
an incentivization model for referrals.
I have heard a lot of feedback from a lot of people
who say things like, hey, Kaylen, you know,
I love Xcohost and I talk about Xcohost
because I love Xcohost.
And I'm telling people about Xcohost
and I'm happy to keep doing that.
But they would like a way for them to be able
to start tracking those referrals.
And if not just tracking them,
create some type of incentivization model for it. And I think that's important too. So
I'm taking that feedback in that I've gotten recently and I'll make sure I'll report it with
the team and we'll come up with a strategy to roll out an incentivization model choice. Obviously,
I know this dude's like king referral of Exco, so I would love to hear what you think on this.
Yeah, I'm loving the fact that having referrals
would be amazing.
But I think that always quality over quantity is the most.
And I think that having unlimited amount of referrals
will turn things a little chaotic.
I think that maybe we should find a way
to balance the equation by limiting down
the amount of referrals and unlocking your referrals only when the people that we refer to the platform is actually actively participating and engaging on the platform and in the spaces that are launched through the platform.
So the way the value comes from both ways, that's just the feedback that I want to put in because I think that just giving anybody unlimited amount of codes, like if I was saying, it's gonna make it way too much PVP
and it's gonna have lots of people just forming
that is gonna bring probably users
that maybe will not add the value that we're looking for.
Sorry, I just think that we need to maybe not write down,
like look at Ethos platforms that, you know,
they got people looking for a spot, looking for an invite
because they want to participate,
they want to be part of it.
And I think that that's an approach that we can replicate over here.
So when someone is bringing somebody, it's bringing that somebody because
it's now that someone that is going to add value.
I really liked ethos model too.
I think that's a really good comparison.
I've watched ethos and their product rollout as well.
I liked that concept as well.
I did enjoy the thought of like being away where hosts could
rate users and like leave a comment on their profile.
I thought that was a really great suggestion and I really
like that a lot.
I get like a round of like emoji feedback.
Do we like the concept of being able to leave public
reviews on profiles on Xcohost?
Is this something we think we'd like to see?
OK, OK, cool. I like to see that I think the
I think apprehension is that
exco host is somewhat permissionless and there are a lot
of novices that get started on exco.
This is there are a lot of pros like Dave too,
and I didn't want to like potentially expose someone who's new
to some harsh harsh critique,
but we did say that we I will say that we
have been able to see a lot of the reviews
hosts have gotten and it's been mostly, mostly positive.
So I think the review system could be pretty good there.
I want to move on from it, but Solban, I did tell you I'd pull you back if you raised your hand, so I'll give you the final word on it.
The deep, I want to move to the next subject if it's okay, Papi.
Yeah, I think it's important not to like gatekeep, you know, the
platform is fairly open for people to just jump in, do stuff and, you know,
build together and that's what matters.
I do think referrals, I think that we must, we must consider something.
For testing a referral program, it has to be tested through the speakers
who are the active, the most, DeFi, zero choice, they got me girls when they
were like very, very active and stuff like that, and then think about how
from that you can get the proper feedback to improve the
referral program itself.
Because I'm quite sure they will bring quality speakers to the tail-bidding.
It's not like you give the referral access to a random newbie that has hosted no zero
spaces in ages and have spoken only in two spaces in three months.
That's not going to work.
That's not going to make the program juicy
or something meaningful.
It has to be from top to bottom, test, improvement,
deployment, and then adaptation for a broader audience.
That was just my final take.
Really great suggestions.
I think if we do introduce a referral program,
I suppose it's probably, it's not going to be something
I think is going to just be like platform, platform wide. I think it's probably not going to be something I think it's going to just be like platform platform wide.
I think it'd be something of like a hand selected amount of
users. Thank you, Bob. Some great names. I could think of a
few more two as well that were just super active users and
maybe what we'll do is we'll do like kind of like a maybe I'll
test it in the telegram community that we have and test
some feedback on like what we'd want for a referral program.
Really great. I really am happy I held this space today
to get some of this feedback on this,
because I know this is something that's been kind of burning
for a lot of our users of like,
who are just the super users.
That being said, I do want to go into the next subject
as well, thankful for all the invite suggestions as well.
I think we're going to continue to improve that.
At the moment, the limit for invites per space is 20.
We did just institute that limit,
but I will say also that we are gonna be playing around
with those limits and we also will be playing around
with the limits per segment.
So that's something that we're gonna be messing around with
and playing around with as we go forward as well.
And I'll be looking for keen feedback on the invite features
to make sure that it's something that's fair,
equitable, isn't something that's like overbearing.
And we have a lot of plans to continue
to expand that out as well.
That being said, there are some other things
we did just roll out.
Co-hosting is now available,
and the first version is available on XCost,
and co-hosting in first version means it's optics
and it updates your graphics.
That just means if you're a host and you're on XCost,
and you have an upcoming space,
and you have a speaker on that space,
you can hover over their profile
and mark them as a co-host.
That will update the optics on the front page, so you'll see them as a co-host. That will update the optics on the front page,
so you'll see them as a co-host.
It'll update the graphics as well.
Then also technically will also increase
your total number of speakers you can have on that space as well.
So that's another thing that's essentially rolled out as well with that new update.
We will be looking for feedback regarding co-hosting.
I would love to ask a round of questions to some of the current speakers.
Would you all like the ability as a cohost on exco host
to have access to invite features?
So for example, if let's say Chewy is hosting a space
and he makes DeFi the cohost of that space,
would you Chewy like to have DeFi have the ability
to invite his network to your space through exco
host?
Yeah, I think I yeah, I like that idea because I think it's,
you're sort of like inviting not just the person,
but also their community or their audience as well.
So I think, yeah, I really like that idea,
to be honest, as well.
Because I mean, I think at some stage as well,
I don't know where you see kind of ex co-hosts going, but I think, you know, there will be these kind of like community hubs that start to evolve through it as well. And, you know, I would, I would definitely like to be able to let my community know that, you know, I'm part, you know, I'm being invited to something
and to go along to listen as well for whatever alpha
or whatever is going on as well.
But I think also from a perspective from the client
to content creator side as well, I
think that could be really important as well.
Because if someone's inviting you to cohost
a brand or something,
then you want to make sure that you've got.
Adequate representation there as well.
So yeah, so I definitely think it's important to be
able to do that from that perspective as well.
Cool, and it kind of like a round of
emojis across the board. Is this something you would like?
If, let's say, Stefan,
you brought an AI brand on the X co-host and they marked you as
a co-host and you now have the ability to invite
speakers that you've met through X-coast to that stage.
Just to give the example again,
can I get a round of emojis from the panelists?
Is this something you would like to see on X-coast?
The ability to have more management features for co-hosting?
Okay, cool.
Yeah. I can give you a personal example, goes the ability to have more management features for co-hosting. Okay, cool. Go ahead, Paul.
I can give you a personal example,
which is me, Aero,
and Ben are all hosting Gaming Evolve.
Aero is the host, we're the co-hosts.
Sometimes we have to go into our networks and distribute,
okay, I'm going to invite this guy,
you invite this guy, but then eventually,
Aero needs to either approve or deny who needs to join the space.
But if the co-hosts have it, he's not going to have that responsibility.
It's going to be way, way easier.
So I think that's a very, very good feature to have.
Solid feedback, solid feedback.
Floke, I saw your hand was raised and also welcome to the stage, my friend.
Hey, how's it going?
Yeah, this is kind of perfect for me because that's kind of my spot.
Usually on the crypto bro show is just the co-host.
And I think that would be very beneficial and also just kind of get me more involved on ex-co-hosts inviting other people and stuff like that.
Because I'm able to do would be able to do that. So yeah, I think that would be a really great feature.
Amazing feedback.
Okay, really, really solid.
I know when we first built the co-hosting features,
my co-founder Tori, she was really adamant
about creating a feature which allowed hosts
to invite their co-host to the spaces first
and then list the space.
I think we might revisit that a little bit.
So this way, like, you know,
maybe maybe we introduce a feature where DeFi
can kind of set Floki as a recurring cohost,
so he doesn't have to remember to go in.
Maybe that's something we consider going.
Oh, that's a nice one.
That's a nice one. They really good.
I think that's something we could definitely do.
I think there there's a short term solution though,
which we're currently working on rolling out on Xcohost,
which I'm going to kind of briefly announce now.
We are rolling out and we're in the development stage of rolling
out delegates on Xcohost.
I would say realistically that might be
a 30-day timeline on when it's publicly available,
but we'll probably be testing it over the next week or so.
Essentially, next week means starting next week.
This new delegate system will allow you to invite people to manage
your account on XCohost and you invite people for you
to manage their account on XCohost essentially.
This will essentially allow you to be able to manage
multiple brands natively through XCohost.
We have not sat down and really identified pricing for
individuals who really need to manage a ton
of accounts doing that on Xcohost yet.
So I think the first version of it will essentially be kind of chill.
It won't allow you to delegate out to thousands of users on Xcohost right out the gate.
But we're going to be looking for feedback from people who want to manage multiple accounts
on Xcohost, whether it's your brand account and your personal brand is one thing.
But if somebody is managing the
spaces for five different brands or managing five different
speakers on XCost to help them find spaces through the
platform, we want to be able to help them grow that if that's
what they want. I saw a few hands went up around that
defile, let you go first and Aiden, you're next.
Yeah, I just had a quick thought on the co-host thing. You
know, for us on the brochure with the two segments,
one thing that I found, I guess maybe it wasn't fully kind of like rolled out yet, but
if there's a way to designate the co-host from the first hour, also the, like if there's a way to carry a speaker over from
like segment one to segment two and almost like duplicate them, because I've had, you
know, times before where like BK was like, oh, I want to be on the whole show.
So if there was a way to like say, all right, here BK is taking up two spots on like on
one on both segments or same thing with the co-s. That would be a nice to have thing.
I like that a lot. I think I think we've gotten a lot of
feedback at ex cohosts from people who want to like create
a show template and you could preset cohosts, but it's become
abundantly clear that you know, for first things first, in
regards to speakers not being able to join multiple segments of
the same space, I will ping the team on that after the space.
We should fix that quickly.
That's definitely not a bug.
That's definitely not a feature.
It's definitely a bug, and we need to get around to fixing that.
That should be, I think, an easy fix.
I think I just need to talk to the team and make sure that gets sorted out.
But in regards to the ability to preset a co-host
for your spaces, again, these are just suggestions
that we're discussing.
We haven't internalized it yet,
but this is just me kind of fishing to see
what you all would like to see in the next version
of co-hosting on Xcohost.
It does seem like that is in demand
to be able to manage and co-host the space.
Because the other thing too, as I know,
as many of you do who manage brand spaces
for other brands, you usually don't get to do a lot
with your personal brand.
And I'm hoping we can help change that a little bit here
as we roll out these new features.
Aiden, floor is yours.
Hi, yeah, thank you.
Thanks for putting this together.
I'm relatively new to Twitter overall, ex-co-hosts also.
This company is pretty new.
So I'm really enjoying the experience through ex-co-hosthost from that point of view, getting this exposure and stuff. And I wanted to react positively to this news about the delegates because this is one of the exact things that I will be using for sure.
and another head of growth.
He was the one saying that I should start
hopping onto these spaces.
So it's been really great to connect with community members,
hear about amazing projects and grow our following.
But it would also be wonderful if more than one person
could help sign up for this, organize it.
I almost wonder if like there could be more tools to facilitate many people or a team of people
kind of managing one account for spaces.
From right now, I mean, it's just me doing that, but I could imagine him also hopping
on some spaces too, just through this account.
Yeah, yeah.
We're going to be introducing the new delegate
system and that will actually solve that entirely.
So think of it like seats.
Essentially your account will have a certain set number of seats
and you can invite people to manage it.
The only difference is like for example,
if I invite DeFi but he doesn't have an account
X goes,
I'll just invite his email and then his email will
have a seat.
But if he if DeFi you know ex-co-host account completely,
DeFi will be able to use his ex-co-host account,
but he'll also go swap and manage
Aiden, your brand account there as well.
So that will be going live.
That's what we're currently working on shipping,
which is essentially just like
a intra-platform delegate system and a delegate system for seats.
What I mean by intra just means that like you if they
already have an account on Xco's you can invite them
to manage your account and if they don't you can
do that as well.
Does that does that help you with that?
100% thanks so much. Yeah,
awesome man and by the way,
welcome to the platform.
If I can be honest with you,
Aiden I build Xco's for you truly truly bill it
for you.
Can't tell you how many times when I first was building this that so many people would tell me I'm new to
Web 3.
I'm new to spaces and this this allowed me to
start finding the conversation.
So I'm really grateful you found it.
In most cases, they didn't. You know,
I'm sure you're going to find this out,
but when you're new to the block in Web 3
and you're trying to find spaces,
it's a it's a long lonely road before you get
up on the stage for most of us. I'm
sure many on the stage can relate to that from a long time ago when they first started
their journey. So I'm grateful you found a home here, brother, and I'm hoping that we
can help you help you build a house as you as you start your process here, my friend,
and welcome to the stage. Amen. Thank you. 100% 100%. If you need also help with hosting
spaces as well. There's a lot of great hosts on this stage as well that can help you guys get
the ball rolling with XCo-hosts too.
I'm sure many of them would be happy to help you cover the AI segments.
Stafat himself has already mentioned that he's interested in covering AI as well.
So get in contact with the host here if you need help getting set up
or if you want to start your own series here.
Oh my God. Yeah. Would love to do that.
I've followed with a lot of it. Thanks so much.
Oh yeah, brother. Hell yeah. I guess as we get things going here, I think I just want to kind of wrap up on the delegate system.
The initial delegate system will just allow you to invite people who are on XCohos or off XCohos to sign up if they don't have an account and manage your XCohos account natively. We are discussing different varying permissions for that as well currently
and the varying permissions that we're discussing are different levels of like management all the
way that can manage your billing and all the way down that can maybe just manage you joining spaces
on XCOS. So we're going to introduce varying levels. Does anybody have any questions, feedback,
or do we like this feature that we're rolling out as the delegates? Something something you guys could see yourself using or not.
Maybe if I'm curious if why not.
I don't know why you wouldn't want to use it.
Um, I guess, you know, the only thing would be is, uh, you kind of said that.
There will be some kind of permission control.
So like, as long as there's something like that where it's not like gonna be a risk to your own account,
then I don't see a problem with it.
Bullish, bullish.
I'm also hoping that helps like enterprise hosts
like you DeFi and Dave and Chewy and Stefan and Choice,
BK, like damn near everybody on this stage,
be able to also help the brands you're working with
manage their spaces as well.
For example, if you are working with a new brand
and they wanna start joining spaces,
you don't just have to refer them next coast,
have them sign up and maybe invite them
to be managed by you.
This way you can also help them find some good spaces
and curate it for them.
And I'm hoping that this also helps a lot of people
who are responsible for not just a brand,
but maybe all the people who work there too, to like find and speak on spaces.
As many of you know, and if you don't know, Xcohost has a ton of agency partners.
And we did this exclusively all through last year and the year before building
up this network and we're currently building an ecosystem in the early stage.
I would say it's R&D phase to be able to allow these agencies to manage their
entire roster of clients and personalities to start using X-Ghost and finding spaces.
If you feel like that's you and you're somebody who's going to be managing a large roster,
definitely hop in my DMs.
It's not something we're really publicly rolling out and trying to make a lot of waves with.
We're just kind of building out an agency hub for people who are managing more than
like 20 people or 20 personalities.
There's probably like 15 to 20 agencies
that we're speaking with right now
that are in really dire need of this type of feature
who are kind of managing a lot of personalities.
So I'm super stoked to roll that out.
I'm also stoked to discuss that we are in the final
R&D stages, which means that we have about a month
of development and a month of development
and a month of design realistically ahead of us on it,
but I want to give clear timelines.
We're currently working on rolling out a leaderboard,
which is our code project name for it is currently,
we haven't actually named the page,
but we are going to be rolling out a leaderboard
on XCoast that will help you find
the top performing spaces hosts,
the top performing speakers by category on XCoast as well. This should help people who are looking,
who are hosting also get more discoverability for their spaces.
This is really for the people who are consistent hosting weekly.
You're going to get a lot of benefit from this attention from this.
Equally, are we in the R&D stage of our marketplace?
As I know many of you know that we've been very bullish on creating
a model where brands can introduce giveaways,
brands can introduce sponsorships, brands can introduce advertising,
brands can advertise that they need a co-host for their spaces as well.
This marketplace is something I'm super stoked about rolling out that I know many of you are all too excited about.
I'm really stoked that we're set to say that we're making a really good headway on that as well.
I would just give a fair estimate on those features,
I would say realistically,
latest we're looking at 60 days.
It obviously could be way earlier.
But I always whenever we do product rollouts,
I always want to give clear timelines so people know what to expect.
During that time period while we're rolling it out though,
we will be testing it and doing beta rounds and testing it.
Keep your eye on your e-mails from X-Codes and
keep your eye on the community and Telegram
in regards to that we might be reaching out to a few of you
to test some of the first initial marketplace deals
to test some of the first initial leaderboard features.
Before I move on from those two things
and talk about some other things,
did anybody have any questions, feedback,
or anything they'd like to share regarding the leaderboard
or the marketplace?
I'm psyched for the marketplace. I'm psyched for the marketplace.
I can't wait for the marketplace.
Let's go sign me up.
Bring in the brand.
I can tell you the demand is crazy.
There's a lot. Every day we talk to another brand that would just
tells us the same thing which is like,
we love XCohos, we love XCohos Spaces.
But we would love to go to get a plug. You know what I mean? We love to make sureos, we love XCohos spaces, but we would love to be able to get a plug. You know what I mean?
We love to make sure that when we are doing these spaces,
that we can make sure that we're getting
that 10 minutes of fame or five minutes of fame there,
by joining these spaces.
So there's tremendous demand for this.
What I'm really excited about is that this is going to be a lot of varying levels of it,
meaning that there might be hosts that land a quarterly
sponsorship through this marketplace, and there might be a brand new Spaces host that has 20 to
50 listeners per hour that gets their first giveaway on their space, which allows them to
start promoting their space, which I think we need that level of range. So I'm super stoked to say
this marketplace is not going to just be for the giga hosts of Web3 and the people
who are really flaming the game to win in their favor.
This is going to provide an even playing field for everybody who uses X-Ghost to get opportunities,
which is why we've been very patiently rolling this out.
The landscape of spaces and sponsoring spaces has not changed at all since I started in
this industry, so there's no rush to roll this out to appease a few. We want to make
sure when we roll this out, it's clean, it works, people are able to monetize quickly
and smoothly with it. I'm going to take some hands. We'll go to Solbound first and Dave
next.
Okay. You mentioned something about, I was replying a message about the avalanche card
tweet. I got the whitelist, whatever.
And I got distracted for a second,
lost my train of thought, but I want to bring it back to,
you mentioned that, yeah, this is not focused
for the Jiga creators and stuff like that.
I believe what I liked most about Xcohost
and the reason why I use it basically
on a daily basis right now, it's because we are,
I believe the products on the stage
that we're building that cross relationships
with other hosts and we're building that reputation
within the platform itself that by the time it scales,
like real recognize real, you know,
value will be given back to those who are building right now.
And this build, I know building these sorts of platforms
doesn't happen from one day to the other.
You need so many iterations of implementation and feedback that's going to be very, very helpful now.
I'd like to understand a little bit better the marketplace because it was a little bit fussy.
So what did you mean like on the marketplace itself?
Like is it going to be for new hosts, for already existing hosts,
for brands that are looking for cool people like us,
pretty cool people like us? Do you speak on behalf of them or how is it?
The answer is yes. So the all the above, the way the marketplace will work will be a
balancing base system. And the way the marketplace will work is, let me give you an example. Let's say
I am a well-funded pre-TGE web 3 game. I think we all know enough about those, right?
And I am looking to create awareness for my upcoming
product release or my TGE.
In this scenario I have a lot of attention I
need to gather and I have a short period of
time to get it.
And in those moments I need to be able to
reach a lot of people with varying levels of degrees,
right? And what I mean by varying level degrees is I might put out a bounty on ex co-host saying
I'm looking to sponsor spaces and I might put up a total bounty of maybe like a thousand
to ten thousand dollars on ex-co-host.
The hosts that are signed up for the marketplace will be able to bid on those opportunities
and you'll get a bid competitively in this marketplace.
And the first initial version of this marketplace,
there won't be really like marketplace profiles.
It will just be a very basic bounty system
where you will be able to apply with the bounty.
Some of the bounties might have requirements as well,
and then you can also compete against those requirements too.
So for example, a bounty could be
that we're looking to sponsor spaces.
DeFi could reply to that bounty and say,
hey, here's my average number of listeners.
Here's how long we've hosted it.
Here's my profile and ex-co-host.
We'd be happy to do it for $500 per space.
We'll give away $300 of it, and I'll keep $200 for myself.
And if they say yes to that, the funds will be submitted to DeFi to proceed with that
activity once it's completed. And there will basically be a bouncy base system.
I also really want to express that when we roll it out,
it will be 100% a work in progress piece.
And since nothing like this has been built for Spaces hosts thus far,
we're going to be looking for a lot of the honest feedback from our earliest users
on what we think is a fair way of going about it.
But the main problem and why this marketplace needs to exist is because currently the opportunities
for spaces hosts are being gobbled up by individuals.
I won't name on the space that are unfortunately not really delivering any real attention or
real value.
And I'm not saying all, but I'm saying a majority.
And it needs to get fixed because unfortunately brands really suffer in these spaces activations campaigns often.
And what the real reason is because they don't they typically just don't know what is authentic and what is not.
What is disauthentic, right? And there you can have a mixture of both, but unfortunately it is the disauthentic that's mostly winning.
And the market and honestly, the brand suffer significantly because of this.
And the second person to suffer are the creators,
who don't get opportunities anymore because it's being gobbled up by people
who figured out a system that helps them succeed in this ecosystem.
So in short, the marketplace will allow for all different types of bounties.
For example, some of the bounties might be looking for a co-host.
They might put up a bounty saying, hey, this is our budget.
We're needing a co-host to host our weekly spaces with us.
The subject's going to be on decentralized personal
identification networks, Deepin.
And we need somebody who has a strong knowledge on Deepin,
somebody who's talked on Deepin before.
We need somebody who has a strong network in the Deepin
ecosystem too.
And your ex-co-host profile will also help represent that in
time as well based off the network you've built on ex-co-host as well to help you
compete on those deals too.
So that's an example of like some bounties you could expect on there.
But in the initial version of it, it's really just I think initially the
big demand is giveaways. Brands are dying to be able to just co-organize
giveaways. I hear from OpenLoot all the time.
They hit me up all the time.
They're like, when are you going to introduce this so we can start doing
giveaways on spaces?
So it's a big focal point for us at the moment to roll this out.
I do want to take some hands though, because I think the context is better.
DeFi, floor is yours.
Yeah, I actually just had a quick feature question.
So I noticed because you put me as co-host on this space on X co-host,
there's a button that says start hosting.
What does that button actually do?
So as I have on mine.
Yeah, if you click on start hosting, you can actually check in speakers yourself and nudge them to as a coast that is live currently.
I didn't we didn't really announce this particular feature because it's a little bit finicky
and we're still fixing it.
But essentially right now,
if you are a cohost on,
it's such a semantics nightmare.
If you are cohosting a space on X cohost platform,
you can go and you have new settings
you can play with during the space.
And then some of those settings are
that your space is rugged and you can submit a new link and it'll email can play with during the space. And some of those settings are that your space is rugged,
and you can submit a new link,
and it'll email the link to all the speakers.
You can check in speakers,
and you can also nudge speakers now on ex-cohosts
who did not show up on time.
Many of which I did today, I gotcha.
Some of you might have got the nudge email from me.
And that's just like testing features,
but we did provide that also to the co-hosts as well already.
So going forward, for example,
DeFi when you're hosting your spaces and Flokey is the co-host,
DeFi, you're opening the conversation.
Flokey can jump into X co-hosts and go
start nudging speakers who didn't show up.
That can help your process to make sure that you're not getting
distracted from the space and keep you focused on the conversation.
Yeah, for sure.
Cause usually, uh, I'm like sending DMs to people that, but we usually actually
start five or 10 minutes early and just throwing some music and sound check or
whatever, but like, yeah, sometimes the first five minutes or so I'm like
sending DMs or trying to scramble.
And it's a mess for sure.
For sure.
Dave floors yours my friend
Thanks, bro. I just had a quick quick thing about the marketplace
That we were mentioning in terms of like this what I thought about after our call to
As I see a couple of my buddies down there, right? It's like I know we talked about like
Separating by like topics and how people are gonna be able to how brands are gonna be able to potentially find hosts and stuff.
But I think even just like maybe different search categories, right?
Kaylyn, where it's like, are you in the Ethereum ecosystem, the Solana ecosystem, right?
Like the Tron ecosystem.
And then maybe if you want to get down to like certain projects and maybe, I don't know,
that could be a monetization strategy where maybe projects pay to be on there listed or what I don't know, but maybe just like search ability.
I think is maybe like a search feature would be really,
really dope what the criteria is.
I leave up to you guys.
I really, really like that Dave.
So I think also round of round of emojis on the stage.
Do we all want to search feature?
I think I think we all I think we all want to search feature
on X-Cos.
Okay.
All right.
I will assume that before everyone finishes but okay got it got it got it. We will get a search feature on X-Ghost. Okay, all right. I'll assume that before everyone finishes, but okay, got it, got it, got it.
We will get a search feature on X-Ghost.
We did initially build it out to go live
with our project leaderboard page at the moment,
but I think we probably could ship
some form of entry-level search initially.
Actually, it brings me into a really good question,
which I want to ask the stage particularly,
and I also would love for anybody else
who wants to join the stage and hang out with us.
I'm sending out some invites. You're welcome to come up.
We got a little room. So if you want to hang on stage with us, come on up.
But a question I had for everybody here is,
we want to protect our users at X-Coast.
A lot of users tell us they like the veil.
And the veil is that there's no personal contact information being shared.
And in a way that creates challenges,
but it also does increase like user safety, right?
To make sure that people aren't being harassed
or being followed around after the spaces.
I'm not indicating that this has happened,
but you'd be living under a rock if you didn't know.
So there's some interestingly weird people in Web3.
And we wanna make sure that all of our users
are protected and safe and not getting exposed to that.
One of the suggestions that we keep getting from our users and
our hosts is they want to be able to have some form of discovery
of speakers or hosts or co-hosts on Xcohost.
And I know the leaderboard will solve a component of that, but that doesn't change
the fact that if I need d-sized speakers, it's a little challenging to find them
and where they live, right, on Xcohost currently.
So one of the questions I wanted to pose to the audience was,
would you like a search filter on Xcohost where you can search by topic
on Xcohost and find speakers that have spoken in that topic group?
If we did roll that out,
and let's say hypothetically,
one of you were listed below that,
would you want the host to have the ability to
invite you to a space? Would that feel problematic? Would that create an environment where too many
people might be getting contacted that maybe shouldn't be? I'm curious if people would like
that or maybe it's a setting that people can set on or off on their profile, which is live. You
can turn off profile invites currently already.
I'd love a round of feedback if people would like
a discovery layer for speakers on Xcohost by topic search.
And I really, when you answer this question,
I challenge all of you to ask yourself, is this safe?
Is this creating an environment where those users
could get spammed or harassed off of Xcohost too,
which is important to us to make sure
that we keep our users safe.
I love to hear everybody thinks.
DeFi then BK.
Yeah, I had a quick thought on the invites too,
so I on the other side,
like the people who are getting invited,
it would be nice if there was a way to maybe like
respectfully decline with like a pre-selected reason why.
Like you know how like when you decline a phone call
and say like, sorry, I can't talk right now,
even if it's like a predefined reason,
it's at least like a nice thing like,
oh, like this one just expired,
but at least shows like the people who are active
are like, oh, sorry, I can't actually make it.
And then you could see who's actually more active on the platform, maybe just just a random thought
there. But why don't you go to other hands on the on the question here? And I'll think about that
one.
No, I really like that suggestion. I think I'll come back to that too, as well. BK floors.
Yeah, I think you you kind of answered that already is just give the user the ability to toggle
their visibility.
You know, I think that would that would solve the problem immediately and say, hey, you
know, and then they could obviously choose which topics, you know, they're interested
in and want to speak on and then just let them toggle it.
I think that's real simple.
I think I liked that a lot.
I think there's definitely like a good healthy middle ground
for that too.
I think that that's important.
You know, there's another example of why this is needed
and it's exactly what Soulbound had mentioned before.
Choice and Predator are running a gaming
and Espanol series right now on X-Cos
and they really need the ability to find
Spanish speaking users and we know we have them.
So I actually just sat down with my co founder last night choice and
we have a plan to roll out a new language filter on X Coast and
we are going to work on that and getting that fulfilled.
We currently have it lined up with the next sprint.
So we should anticipate that that should be happening over the course of the next
30 days, of course, probably sooner I want to be clear,
but I also want to give like a fair timeline that
it probably won't go publicly publicly live in the next
30 days.
But what I have been doing for when that happens
is I am just referring them to you as I
find them myself through the platform.
So as well as as well as we wait for the
development,
but it's becoming abundantly clear that as we build out
exco host,
there's just tremendous need for people to be able to
find each other through the noise of everything that's going
And I think that that was really helpful for us
to learn about like how we want to roll out features
on Xco host is to make sure there's like user
security.
There's safety in mind as well as that there's
discover ability.
I also want to mention too as well.
I do know we're at the hour point.
I'm going to hang back and continue to answer some questions and share some more.
If you need to leave now is a good time for the Irish goodbye.
You can set yourself down to listeners, give us a wave and head on out.
I know you have other spaces to get to, so I don't want to keep you.
You're also welcome to stay.
Yeah, I got to, I got, I got to leave because I have a meeting right now to partner, but yeah,
I just want to highlight something because you were mentioning this.
You know, they run the first, now the guys are running this first program, you know,
being able to, this first show, sorry, and being able to kickstart in that.
I remember we had a town hall like two, three months ago and I came with a question and,
you know, this is why we are all here, you know, to lead from our Lyft experience and
to lead from our desire to make this better.
So I'm very happy to hear that from you
now that you guys are implementing,
because you already had a case study to practice on.
And being part of it makes me feel happy, proud,
not only of myself, but of all of us who are building here.
So potentially, you'll start seeing more and more Spanish
speaking spaces.
And I'll be around to doing mine, for sure.
So see you guys.
Nice being here.
Talk to you soon.
Leave each other's five stars.
Love you.
Bye.
Ready to their five stars on Xcode hosts or you'll be you'll
be hearing from my attorney.
I just want to say also,
you know, really grateful for you Soulbound as we've as we've
built Xcode and I'm sorry for the you know,
I don't know your specific who's behind the Soulbound account
right now. Maybe that's on me, but I'm sorry for the, I don't know your specific, who's behind the Soulbound account right now.
Maybe that's on me, but I want to say thank you.
Axelita.
Axel, oh shit, okay dude.
All right, I already know who the hell you are.
Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome.
I'm super grateful for you, bros.
The support that you've given us in the early stages
has been really helpful.
And I wanted to start doing these town halls
because I realized I'm having so many one-on-one
conversations with a lot of you amazing people.
But I think it's better when we come together
and we handle these challenges together and
learn from one another.
I want to keep the floor going.
DeFi and BK, I both saw your hands were raised.
DeFi, kick it off.
Yeah, shoot, I don't know why.
Go ahead, BK.
Man, my mind just slipped me there.
Yeah, because my hand was up first.
That's why it slipped. Oh, Yeah, because my hand was up first. That's why it's with slip.
Yeah, that's probably why. But yeah, it was probably it was probably some feature you guys were talking about. And yeah, it's like, sorry, go ahead.
Hey, um, actually, this is for you, D is is is this running his faces right now? I Think it was that one right so I have him I have him on a recurring calendar of
7 p.m.. On Thursday's Eastern time
That was when he would normally do them because it's after work time for him because he he's the HVAC
Bro, yeah, I thought I thought
TD me and it was at 1 o'clock
I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to check on that but hey as as you get this freaking referral program started
I want that veto over there to remember who on boarded them
That's right Dave
You're that we might we might need retroactive referrals. I don't know. This could be a problem.
BK, you son of a gun. Where you been? I miss your Reset Sunday, you man-mapper bro.
Like, get your ass back to Reset Sundays. I love you.
Oh, yeah. Bro, listen. I actually gotta stop with all the damn spaces
because we're getting ready to launch our app and I've got so much work I gotta do, bro.
So yeah, I'm going to be taking a little break, like intermittent spaces here and there.
But yeah, I've got it. I should like actually this whole time I've been working on a proposal
right now. You know what I mean? And it's funny, Kaelin, when you said, you had said 20, right? And as you said the 20, I'm writing 20 on my proposal, which was very weird. But yeah, can't wait for those referrals coming in.
Yeah, I think it's needed, man.
There's so many people who have been
the voice of Xcode Host for so long.
It's one of those things where we're a small team,
as a team who's building this product and we have to like,
I always say you got one bullet to shoot and six miles to feed,
you have to make sure you focus on solving big problems.
I think we're at a stage where Xcode Host has solved
the zero-to-one challenges of starting spaces. I think we're in a stage where Xcode has solved like the zero to one challenges of starting spaces,
and I think we're in that fun stage of
figuring out how many different ways
people can grow their spaces and how
many different ways we can help them do
that and it's important that we take
these feedback calls and share what
we're building with everybody so we
can get that going on too.
I do have one more thing I want to share,
and of course I'll outlast all of you here,
so of course I'm happy to hang around answering questions. But I do want to say that we have hit some more strides
on introducing live streaming and multi-streaming
on XCohost, meaning that we hit some pretty big strides
on the ability of getting this done.
I'm also stoked to say that we've found some really good
long-term workarounds with it.
And we're still in the process of developing that
at the moment.
I don't want to give a timeline on it right here today
on this space just because to be forthright,
I really didn't think this was something
that we were gonna be able to get live
until later this year potentially.
It's a really big challenge.
Soulbound knows about this challenge.
They're building a live streaming tool as well,
but it's a really big challenge
to be able to solve live streaming at scale without it
coming down to the cost of the user.
And we're really working hard to make sure that that doesn't happen as we build it.
And so far, everything's pointing in that direction, which is really good.
Now, I don't want to promise that.
I don't want to overextend myself and promise, oh, it's free 99.
You can just use it with your normal package.
We're going to establish that as we get into it.
One thing I don't want to do is assume
what people want. Never want to do that. We want to start with the bare bones and get it in the
hands of a few people and let them share honest, true feedback of what they need to scale it,
just like we did with spaces. So we're going to take that feedback in as we build it.
But again, I just want to say thank you everybody for hanging out with us today. Dave, Chewy, Choice,
BK, Flokey, DeFi, Dustin, glad to see you back
in your account, brother.
Makes me so happy to see your face on this space, man.
You've been missed.
I love you, brother.
I'm so happy that you're back in that account, man.
You know, screw the hackers out there in the world.
DeFi, why don't you give us the final word, brother?
He moved on to the audience, but I'm going to cover that one, Kaelan.
I want to give you thanks from everybody here because you're making our lives easier.
So we've got to keep the gratitude on top and the platform rocks.
We're getting exposure, we're getting speakers, we're building projects, we're making meaningful
connections and we're curating this space for the people that are here long-term.
And I love to watch that happening thanks to the platform that you built for us.
So no better way to close these than saying, thank you, man. Keep building.
And Walt is doing a space right now. Walt is doing a space right now.
Let's all share the space after this. I'll see you all there.
I'll see you all there.
Yo BK, can you share the spaces in the group chat?
Can you share the spaces in the group chat?
It's in my DM and it's naked.
I got it, I got it, I got it.
Okay, thank you.
Don't put on clothes, it's okay, it's okay.
I'll see you all there at the Walt Disney Space.
