A

There's uh decentral con right.

B

Yeah, it's it's sam uh jack, and what's this rj as well, rj's there, okay! So I'm guessing this! Is it probably, then I'm not sure if any more folks are joining uh sam will join shortly, um so lots happening. uh I know we're getting closer to the end of the year, but it feels like things are just accelerating um a couple of big things: the the main one being day. One uh lead! You want to give us a quick update on on uh our event on the 8th of december.

C

Yeah so everything's coming together pretty nicely the agenda.

C

Just right now would be good to actually for everyone to invite their friends and the people that you want, because well mostly for the bay area team but of course, obviously been doing a lot and daniel's been doing a lot to help with just spreading the message we already have 200 registrations.

C

We probably should just aim for 500 just because it always like triples down, uh and then people will come in and out because it's in downtown like and san francisco, people are very uh fickle like this, so they'll come in and they'll come out so anyway um yeah. It should be really good lots of good projects, partners, speakers um and it'll be our end of the year event.

D

How many people can.

C

The value accommodate as many as you want, honestly, you will not feel you will not feel the venue we will not.

E

C

Yeah just go just go for it: okay, yeah.

F

It's a big venue, there's.

C

Three there we can use three fours if we wanted to.

D

Sure I said I spent all my on my friend's group yeah, okay, good good.

B

Sam looks like you, discovered the uh hotel business center.

G

uh It's actually over at the uh convention center. I was looking to find some of our locations earlier this morning um to scout out where our breakfast is gonna be and where our booth is, and I stumbled upon this.

C

B

Yeah, sam we're losing you yeah, maybe maybe turn.

H

B

Videos there I killed my.

H

H

Yeah, unfortunately,.

B

You can just listen for now. It's fine yeah, um all good, so yeah, so sam is in in florida with with jack and rj. um Well, I guess we'll get an update from you next week um on kind of what what happened there? That's that's exciting!

B

uh The other thing is our university hackathons uh lee. Do you want to talk about that? A little bit sure.

C

So it started with, uh I think, a call with uh give sam and a guy named who's, organizing, the stanford blockchain club. So we said we'd run a hackathon for them. Then we said we know the berkeley group, so we'll do add them and then we're like wait. We know a lot of schools, so add all of them, so every school, actually any school can participate.

C

Now we're working with the blockchain education network, which has a huge reach so and then one more person, matt mcdonald who most of you haven't, met yet, but he's basically a contributor now working up to 20 hours for right now and he'll be helping us organize the entire hackathon which which will go through winter break for all the schools. It's the perfect time since all these students they'll have like you know, they'll be home. They'll have time on their hands.

C

They can win a ten thousand dollar prize for the top uh winner for per each school, and it's all, there's actually a document. We wrote most of it out on notion publicly so now we're we actually need to write everything publicly other than all hands meeting which we publish on youtube. Also publicly, like everything else, should actually be in writing so that it scales it actually scales really nicely because you just send the link to like 20 people all at the same time.

C

Right once you write one, I mean you guys are engineers, so you know this. You write once you execute it. You know infinite end number of times, um so yes, so that that's going to happen and the demo day for that is january, 23rd next year, which rolls into the stanford blockchain conference, so stanford runs a huge blockchain conference every year. Anyway, usually in january, we went to the one right before in 2020 right before covid.

C

They didn't have it in 2021, so they have it the next one 2022 and then that whole week it's gonna get turned into silicon valley web three week with us. So we're we're gonna host the demo day on the first day, which is a sunday. Then the conference then there's a start net event on zero knowledge, proof which basically we should we should have like 20 people at all.

C

These events, all the bay area, people plus all of our contributors, plus all of our dow governors, plus all of our application project, partners, research, dow contributors, one wallet, z's team, everybody uh and then so that'll be the whole week monday through friday and then saturday that week we're gonna host a special tgi.

C

So for those of you who may not have been to the saturday tgi, we used to have the traditional every week, saturday tgi, where we would actually have barbecue every week and uh in the house. So we rented a house a very nice house in palo alto. Sam, probably knows this place, it's called the elizabeth gamble garden, ah see he knows it's an iq, yeah yeah, it's a very large property, so we're gonna, we're gonna, have the tgi on saturday to wrap up the whole week. uh But, yes, we should be out in full force.

C

The stanford blockchain conference is the most uh most technical and best for technical, and we should actually recruit engineers there so that whole week will be very, very amazing uh with the whole team here, and we have a lot of time to prep for that so obviously end of this year. It's a lot of things are happening. It's tight people are traveling, but next year like when we come back first week of january, we have three weeks to get everything ready and then like a huge silicon valley.

C

Web 3 week, which we're in the center of and yeah that'll be a great way to kick off the year and then east denver right and then east denver right. So then, so then we get the very technical, deep research and then we go to the application with a thousand more launch grants. Yes, it's perfect.

B

Good yeah, that's exciting, sam! You look better. Do you wanna.

G

I look better, you look better yeah, you look less glitchy, okay, uh sure I can give just the two really quick updates, um but first I do want to say I'm very excited about about um both the day one next week as well as this upcoming. You know silicon valley blockchain week. um I can't wait for everybody to get their blue shirts.

G

I this one is specific to miami which is super cool which I like, and so we're going to be getting these specific for every city as well, um so miami. um So I'm meeting up with everyone that's coming in today. I hung out with flu and several others this morning, I'm in the venue already watching them build our booth and double checking all the various different party locations and stuff that we're doing. We are going big in here in miami. um The actual conference itself.

G

Decentral opens up tomorrow, um so tomorrow I'll be on a panel about scaling defy with several others.

G

We'll have a booth where we have d fight kingdoms, madden, nft and harmonies all central, um but then we also have a launch table that has artemis that has sociogenesis seek nft api vision and a few others that I forgot. Basically, we extended anybody who was coming to miami anyway, like hey, you can come in and launch and be at our launch table so we'll have a good 35 to 40 people present at the booth. um So hopefully we'll get some good pictures.

G

That'll be awesome, get some good pictures, good videos, um then tonight we hold a happy hour tomorrow night. We are. The happy hour is actually being co-hosted by another organization with us tomorrow night we're co-hosting with three other organizations, a party, slash dinner and then thursday I'll be doing a lunch brunch with the harmony miami group.

G

The people here, I'm just going to find a starbucks or find a bagel cafe and say: okay everything's on me for the next three hours comment hanging out and you know ask for grants and let's have conversations and let's see what we can do and and make happen.

G

um We were trying to find a really nice venue, but um because it's art basil this week, which is the biggest art event in the world um here in miami everything everything they're saying, no no entry price is like 15 grand I'm like no, I'm not paying 15 grand for this. um So you know I'm shooting more around like two. Maybe one grand like it doesn't need to be that big. um So that's really exciting um anything else.

G

On miami off the top of my head, um we will be having uh we'll be having as many people as we possibly can join the harmony miami telegram group, as well as downloading the one wallet and also receiving um 500 000 grants if they kind of qualify right, we'll be having a bunch of conversations around that so so watch for that action to come through. um Let's see what was the one other thing I want.

G

Oh thank you for everybody on the call who has participated in the performance review process over the past week or two. Thank you very much for your hard work and your effort, um given I've spent a lot of time coming together on this, and it's going to be um really interesting to see this come through. I personally really enjoyed doing the typeform survey for the cultural role models. I think you know the results. There are really interesting.

G

um Lee is basically everybody's role model rightfully, so he does so much with with with everybody um and then also seeing you know the results of the the coordinate um and how that worked out for the the peer group uh bonuses. It's actually interesting enough that um I will be talking about it on the web 3 conference about peer bonuses for uh dowse and uh the the process, the simplicity, I've had a couple of people fill out some some results from that, and it really was a very effective way of doing peer bonuses.

G

So thank you very much for that. That was it. That's all from me lee or um give all right.

B

Thanks man, thank you. Sam uh before we talk about uh product launch updates um daniel did you want to quickly chat about the ambassador program.

E

Sure um so quick recap on what that is: um it's basically, a dow. That's uh specifically focused on uh becoming a task force for creating a framework and providing general support, funding online communities and organizing in-person meetups in a number of different cities. So we have our nine governors. We have the proposal uh pretty much um finished. We have a few tweaks that need to happen.

E

uh We met with the governors focused on general support last week, met with the governors focused on meet-up events late last week and after this call we're meeting to discuss online communities to just button up the proposal and once that's done, it'll go up for approval and hopefully we'll be up and running in just a few days.

E

Maybe next week we'll see but yeah. That's where we're at moving forward.

B

Great thanks daniel uh so product launches, uh obviously the big ones being btc bridge uh so yuri. Maybe you can give us a an update.

A

Hey guys so uh I see ganesh is here: he can share more details about uh audit fixes and other. So from my side we have added mobile support for ui part and also have fixed different cases. Last week and right now we are working on for for supporting transaction from different changes from different exchanges. So.

A

I think that's all, uh so we are ready to launch wild with this product case and admob balances, and so can you can okay, yeah.

F

Yeah, uh we're kind of like almost done with fixing the audit uh uh comments and we'll run it by without it from today uh get their feedback and get a clearance from them on the launch.

F

uh That, probably today, tomorrow by mid of this week, uh can happen and we're also meeting with chain link team uh for the close partner launch thing that they're doing.

B

That's today, right.

F

Yeah today, meanwhile, there is also a blocker for the chain link uh mainnet uh from the gnosis safe side, which genna is currently helping them to resolve, probably january, maybe today and tomorrow. It should be done after that, there's remaining blockers. So we are good with the chain link on minute launch, which will also help uh proceed with the bridge launch.

F

And apart from that uh on the pr side, the post, everything is ready since ready, and uh we will also need to launch multiple walls uh to support a large number of btc bridging um so expecting to get through all this last mile, uh three to four things. uh This we can see if you can launch this week, if not uh monday, uh we don't want to go lunch towards the end of this week.

F

Currently already like uh started with uh milestones, and another thing is uh terra now enabled anchor usd bridging, uh which will now facilitate us to move forward with our 20 basic income first phase product, which is one anchor which requires it's basically like a users, can deposit one token and receive a wrapped ausd, uh which is going to be accruing. The yield for the users.

No worries yeah, so um I think everyone, oh one more thing. Everyone's done. The slides now write out the narrative in the notion page, maybe give you can ask the six people, including myself. I need to write as well and then once we do that uh the rest is just marketing and getting more people there, because we have. We have a lot of space yeah.
