A
I
want
to
welcome
up
next
ilya
paulus
huhin,
the
co-founder
of
nir.
I
would
see
our
master
and
lord
here
ilya.
Please
give
him
a
warm
welcome.
B
Well,
it's
awesome
to
be
here.
It's
a
pretty
dramatic
change
since
when
we
started
when
we
had,
we
were
like
sitting
three
of
us
in
a
small
office
in
san
francisco,
and
now
we
have
a
kind
of
this
huge
conference.
This
awesome
event
and
thanks
for
the
team
that
put
it
all
together,
please
give
them
a
huge
round
of
applause.
B
So
I
wanted
to
give
kind
of
quick
overview
where
we
are
and
then
give
you
some
ideas
where
we're
going
so
to
kind
of
leave
you
excited
and
wanting
more
so,
where
are
we
right?
It's
been
about
a
year
since
we
launched
near
permissionless
mainnet
right
it.
Like
the
vote
passed
on
october
12th,
we
had
a
kind
of
a
community
of
validators
and
all
the
delegators
voting
that
you
know
near
should
launch
tokens
should
be,
transferable
network
should
be
live,
and
so
since
then
we
had
over
40
million
transactions.
B
We
had
over
a
million
people
accounts
joining
the
network
and
over
a
hundred
thousand
people,
who've
been
one
way
or
another
following
what
near
does,
and
this
is
amazing
and
even
more
exciting.
We
had
over
a
thousand
people
monthly
building,
something
on
near
right.
We
have
people
coming
and
doing
really
cool
stuff
on
the
network,
and
many
of
you
are
here,
but
a
lot
of
people
around
the
world.
Are
you
know
some
of
them
couldn't
make
it?
B
Some
of
them
are
sitting
down
and
still
building
so
super
exciting
over
200
projects,
200
projects
that
are
building
some
cool
stuff
across
the
ecosystem.
We
also
have
over
200
dows,
I
think,
already
300
dollars
while
like
while
I
was
making
the
slides.
So
we
have
ton
of
people
who
are
organizing
using
the
near
to
do
some
cool
things
around
the
world
and
over
the
past
year,
we've
pretty
much
been
kind
of
distributing
and
funding
projects,
dao's
kind
of
ecosystem
things
infrastructure
and
spend
over
45
million
dollars,
and
this
would
be
important
later.
B
So
this
is
awesome
but
like.
Why
are
we
here
right?
What
are
we
trying
to
do
with
nir,
and
so
many
of
you
might
have
seen
this
before
I've?
I've
talked
about
this
but
kind
of
just
to
remind
what
are
we
doing
we're
trying
to
build
a
world
where
all
people
have
control
of
their
assets,
of
their
data
and
and
power
of
governance?
B
And
this
is
what
we
call
open
web
world.
You
know
people
call
it
web
three
or
three
from
my
perspective
is
confusing,
but
this
is
a
place
where
you
know,
like
the
users
is
in
control.
The
kind
of
you
have
the
ability
to
own
your
stuff
own.
Your
data
not
rely
on
some
third
parties
to
give
you
services,
but
actually
able
to
participate
in
the
economy
directly.
B
And
kind
of
the
way
to
think
about
it
right,
it's
it's
built
on
three
pillars:
right,
there's.
You
know
assets,
data
and
governance,
and
so
there's
three
pillars:
there's
a
finance
pillar
right,
the
d5,
the
open
finance
that
gives
us
all
this
power
right,
like
the
blockchain
at
the
end,
is
financial
incentivization
mechanism
that
allows
us
to
build
those
cool
things.
But
it's
not
not
just
that
right.
B
There's
a
lot
more
things
going
on,
and
so
the
other
side
is
kind
of
the
creator:
side,
the
passion
economy,
side,
the
ability
to
kind
of
people
to
create
new
economies
through
kind
of
data
through
social
networks,
through
creation,
and
then
the
third
part
is
communities
right
at
the
end,
the
blockchain
actually
is
not
about
technology.
It's
about
the
community.
It's
about
the
people
who
are
here
and
so
dallas
is
a
way
to
build
these
communities.
B
So
to
start
with,
we
have
financial
components
right,
a
set
of
kind
of
basic
tools
and
apps
that
you
can
use
to
build
your
financial
financial
systems,
and
so
obviously,
like
probably
you
know
a
bunch
of
them
like-
I
don't
have
the
full
list
here.
But
the
idea
is
you
have
you
know
decentralized
exchanges?
B
You
have
ability
to
launch
tokens,
you
have
ability
to
kind
of
secure
the
network
while
be
still
liquid
right
with
liquid
staking,
and
you
and
borrow
is
launching
kind
of
in
in
a
few
weeks,
with
ability
to
land
and
borrow
from
pretty
much
from
pools
and
pretty
much
maintain
your
positions
and
things
like
that,
and
so
all
these
protocols
right
and
there
are
more
to
come.
B
On
the
other
side
right,
we
have
a
really
awesome
kind
of
creator,
space
right
and
and
protocols
that
are
powering
that
and
so
kind
of
there's
a
ton
of
guilds,
and
I
didn't
list
all
of
them
that
are
pretty
much
helping
creators
around
the
world
to
like
realize
their
vision
to
bring
it
on
chain
to
kind
of
fund
fund
their
way
through
to
learn
how
to
kind
of
use.
Blockchain
right
human
guild,
like
they're
here
createbase
is
here.
Kodama
is
here
right.
All
of
those
folks
are
really
out
there,
working
with
people
figuring
out.
B
How
do
we
kind
of
make
creators
sustainable
and
on
the
other
side,
you
have
platforms
right
that
are
enabling
this
right.
We
have
min
base
and
paras
min
base
is,
you
know,
is
actually
located
here
in
lisbon
and
present
here
check
them
out
and
like
they
are
providing
you
the
platform
and
a
place
where
you
can
build
this
kind
of
exciting
applications.
Right,
and
so
these
are
else,
infrastructure
right
like
same
as
you
know,
taxes
and
and
lending
is
infrastructure
for
creating
financial
tools
around
your
kind
of
applications
and
ideas.
B
These
are
infrastructure
to
create
kind
of
non-fungible
tokens,
but
also
like
more
generally
data,
that's
controlled
by
the
user
right
like
what
non-fudgible
token
is.
Is
this
idea
that,
as
a
user
you're
controlling
the
data
you're
controlling
the
distribution
and
you're
able
to
kind
of
have
this
communication
with
the
original
author
of
this
kind
of
creation
or
or
whatever
this
nft
is
programmed
to
do?
And
so
this
kind
of
is
examples
of
this
of
this
enablement
that
we
already
have.
B
And
then
the
third
pillar
right
is
daos.
Is
this
and
like
from
my
perspective,
if
you,
if
you
heard
me
talking
before
dao,
is
like
a
very
misleading
name,
because
it's
not
very
it's
not
always
decentralized,
it's
not
very
autonomous,
and
it's
definitely
an
organization,
and
so
I
love
the
better
name.
Is
digital
cooperative?
It's
this
idea
that
you
can
put
together
people
in
a
digital
world
and
organize
them
in
new
way
and
give
them
kind
of
way
to
like
make
decisions.
B
B
In
the
group,
it's
amazing-
and
so
all
of
this
is
powered
by
sputnik
down
and
aurora
dao
and
again
talk
with
jordan,
if
you're
interested
in
learning
more.
But
this
is
idea
that
you
can
pretty
much
create
new
types
of
organizations
right.
You
can
go
beyond
what
like
a
government.
Pretty
much
said
this
is
a
company.
This
is
how
you
do
the
company.
This
is
nonprofit.
This
is
how
you
do
nonprofit
like
you,
can
now
build
whatever
organization
you
want.
You
can
have
multiple
types
of
shareholders.
You
can
have.
B
You
know
nft
as
a
way
to
permission
who
can
do
stuff.
You
can
set
up
permissions.
You
can
do
all
the
things
you
can
coordinate,
kind
of
who
can
contribute
and
what
they
can
do,
pay
out
work,
there's
really
cool
application
called
raketa,
which
is
also
here
that
are
pretty
much
allowing
to
do
streaming
payments
and
pretty
much.
B
You
can
have
a
doubt
paying
salaries
to
people
by
pretty
much
doing
once
approval
that
you
want
to
pay
salaries
to
those
people,
and
you
don't
need
to
do
payroll
anymore
for
anyone,
who's,
run
a
company
and
done
payroll.
So
all
of
those
things
right
are
now
possible.
Unchained
super
easy
super,
cheap,
all
works
and-
and
we
already
have
community
skills
and
and
projects
that
are
doing
this
right
now,
like
there's
folks
that
are
using
this
to
actually
coordinate
their.
You
know
large
projects
or
small
communities.
B
There
are
you
know,
investment
funds
and
like
refinances,
using
it
dowcubator
just
launched.
If
you
don't
know
about
it,
check
out
docubator.
If
you
want
to
launch
a
dao,
you
can
apply
for
funding
there.
So
all
this
kind
of
is
examples
but
like
ecosystem
is
larger.
This
is
actually
an
older
screenshot.
I
haven't.
B
I
haven't
found
the
newer
one
because,
like
the
ecosystem
is
growing
so
fast,
but
there's
like
a
ton
of
different
financial
applications,
a
ton
of
infrastructure,
a
ton
of
gaming
as
well,
which
I
didn't
mention,
but
if
you
want
to
learn
more
about
gaming,
talk
with
human
guild
and
a
ton
of
more
communities
and
guilds
that
are
doing
really
cool
stuff
across
the
ecosystem
right.
So
this
ecosystem
is
kind
of
growing.
It's
expanding.
It's
self-organizing
in
many
ways
because,
like
I,
for
example,
have
no
idea
like
some.
B
What
sounds
projects
are
doing,
and
you
know
they
actually
like
starting
to
pick
up
and
doing
cool
stuff,
but
where
are
we
going
right
like
what?
What
is
with
that
vision
right?
What
are
we
trying
to
achieve,
and
this
is
what
we're
trying
to
achieve
like?
We
think
that
nir
is
ready
for
mass
adoption
near
you
know,
it's
simple,
secure
and
scalable,
it's
ready
to
rock,
and
we
have
you
know
kind
of
the
basis
and
foundation
of
applications
and
we're
really
aiming
to
get
one
billion
people
to
actually
use
this
applications
in
five
years.
Right.
B
B
Now,
how
do
we
get
there
right?
That's
that's!
A
very
ambitious
vision,
there'll
be
a
lot
of
work
and
we'll
definitely
need
a
way
way.
Bigger
community
to
do
this,
and
so
I've
shown
this
before
and
I'm
pretty
sure
nobody
understands
what
this
is
and
that
I
I'm
not
saying
this
is
by
design.
But
this
is
how
my
brain
works
and
so
like
super
high
level.
This
is
this
was
the
idea
that
kind
of,
as
as
we
were
thinking
about
open
web
right,
we
were
thinking
about
it.
B
Like
everybody
usually
about
thinks
about,
web3
is
like
well,
we
have
a
blockchain
what
we
can
do,
and
this
was
thinking
backwards.
This
was
what,
if
I
want
to
pull
out
my
phone
and
every
single
application
on
my
phone
is
kind
of
follows
the
rules
that
I
own
all
my
data,
I
own
all
my
assets
and
I'm
able
to
kind
of
vote
and
pretty
much
control
every
platform,
I'm
using
right.
How
do
we
get
there
so
not
starting
with
blockchain,
not
starting
with
a
solution,
but
actually
starting
with
a
problem
right?
B
I
want
to
control
everything
I
use.
I
don't
want
facebook
to
kind
of,
or
whatever
even
apple,
to
some
extent,
to
tell
me
what
what
what
this
should
be,
and
so
we
started
kind
of
there
at
the
top
with
well.
We
need
you
know
a
social
network.
We
need
a
like
a
food
delivery
app.
We
need
all
those
things
that
are.
We
use
kind
of
on
day
to
day
basis
and
then
from
there
there's
a
ton
of
infrastructure
and
ton
of
applications
and
ton
of
financial
tooling.
B
We
want
to
kind
of
change
how
people
are
participating
and
using
the
web
and
realizing
that
you
need
a
lot
of
financial
tooling,
because
you
want
to
incentivize
the
growth
you
want
to
incentivize
the
structure,
and
you
also
need
a
kind
of
a
lot
of
protocols
on
top
and
then
you
still
need
a
lot
of
infrastructure,
and
so
all
this
is
cool
and
we
actually
already
have
a
bunch
of
stuff
right
like
we
are
at
this
point
kind
of
have
a
set
of
really
powerful
primitives
open
web
primitives
that
people
can
use
to
build
applications.
B
So
we
have
programmable
ownership
right,
like
if
you
think
of
fungible
tokens
and
non-fungible
tokens.
What
really
they
are,
is
ability
to
program
ownership,
and
this
is
actually,
from
my
perspective,
the
first
time
in
the
human
history
right
with
blockchain.
We
have
been
able
to
do
that
right
before
ownership
was
always
given
to
you
by
somebody
with
power
by
somebody
with
you
know
military,
they
said
yeah,
you
can
own
that.
B
But
you
know
if
we
come
with
our
soldiers,
but
now
you
actually
are
able
to
program
you're
able
to
kind
of
write
code
pretty
much
to
to
define
how
this
ownership
will
be
transferred.
We
have
these
financial
instruments
right.
We
are
able
to
kind
of
issue
value.
We
can.
We
are
able
to
transact
it
and
we
don't
need
to
rely
on
anyone
to
do
this.
We
have
pseudonymous
identity
right.
Why
is
this
important,
because
you're
able
to
kind
of
detangle
a
lot
of
different
interactions
to
maybe
having
an
internet
from
each
other
right?
B
B
You
have
really
cool
encryption
tools
and
there
is
really
cool
concept
of
proxy
encryption's
ability
to
encrypt
data
and
share
it
with
people
and
kind
of
pretty
much
have
have
end-to-end
communication
without
anyone
else.
Knowing
what's
going
on,
we
have
decentralized
storage,
we
have
oracles,
I
mean
zero
knowledge.
Proofs
are,
you
know,
have
been
maturing
over
the
past
like
three
years
and
becoming
really
powerful
and
obviously
daos
like
the
waste
organizers.
B
So
we
have
now
the
primitives
that
you're
able
to
build
really
cool,
really
powerful
kind
of
open,
vap
applications,
and
all
this
is
powered
by
this
infrastructure
right.
So
so,
at
the
bottom
of
that
huge
thing,
we
have
this
kind
of
whole
set
of
infrastructure
pieces,
which
you
know
we
have
kind
of
scalable
blockchains.
We
have
indexing
like
which
we're
going
to
learn
more
about
today,
we're
going
to
we
have
storage
chains
like
file,
coin
sci,
etc.
B
We
have
kind
of
secured
oracles
and
we
have
kind
of
ways
to
get
in
and
get
out
of
the
system
and
like
there
are
more
things
to
come,
but,
like
all
of
these
things
are
now
powering
this,
and
so
one
of
the
things
you'll
learn
in
a
little
bit.
But
we
have
you
know.
As
I
mentioned,
we
have
scalable
infrastructure.
So
if
we
have
charting
and
so
near,
has
been
kind
of
pro
like
building
with
this
idea
that
the
network
should
be
able
to
scale
be
kind
of
with
any
demand
that
we
have
right.
B
If
we're
talking
about
having
a
billion
users
on
chain,
we
know
no
single
computer,
no
single
machine
will
be
able
to
handle
that
right,
and
so
sharding
is
paramount
to
actually
be
able
to
do
this,
and
so
we
have
sharding.
We
actually
been
running
like
on
test
net
four
charts
since
october
20th.
Nobody
noticed
a
thing,
that's
a
whole
point
that
near
sharding
does
not
require
you
as
a
developer,
you,
as
a
user,
to
know
anything
about
infrastructure.
B
B
And
so,
if
you
like,
learn
about
auroras,
they
have,
they
have
a
boost.
There,
octopus,
you
can
like
they
said
they
couldn't
come,
but
there's
definitely
the
you
can
learn
more
online,
and
so
this
all
together
right
gives
you
the
tools
to
build
like
on
top
of
these
primitives
the
applications
you
want,
and
on
top
of
this
right
kind
of
the
power
that
we
have
like
the
the
change.
The
dramatic
change
we
have
is
actually
incentives
right.
B
B
And
so-
and
this
is
true-
like
the
you
know-
venture
capital
is
kind
of
starting
to
scale
down
how
much
they're
investing
in
consumer
web.
Like
the
teams,
if
you,
if
you
look
at
like
the
teams
and
vcs
that
are
investing
in
consumer,
are
lower
and
the
reality
is
because
you
just
don't
have
a
way
to
bootstrap
your
network
right.
All
of
the
consumer
apps
most
of
them
at
least,
are
rely
on
network
effects
and
now,
with
blockchain
with
crypto,
we
have
a
tool.
We
have
economic
incentives.
B
We
can
build
around
ownership
around
giving
up
ownership
of
the
platform
you're
building
to
the
users
to
bootstrap
this
network
effects
right,
and
so
you
have
this
kind
of
normal
way
that
you
know
defy
right
now
using
to
bootstrap
their
liquidity.
But
you
can
leverage
across
all
of
the
kind
of
types
of
applications.
Gaming
is
really
easy,
because
you're
pretty
much
giving
out
the
future
ownership
of
this
platform
to
the
gamers
right.
That's
kind
of
the
display
to
earn
thing.
B
So,
instead
of
transitioning
from
kind
of
paying
people
for
things
by
giving
ownership,
you
actually
getting
kind
of
long-term
support,
long-term
contributors,
and
that
kind
of
I
call
it
usage
mining
so
like
liquidity
mining,
is
an
example
of
it.
But,
like
any
usage
that
you
want
to
incentivize
like
by
aligning
the
kind
of
how
you're
distributing
ownership
of
your
platform
to
the
to
the
people
who
are
bringing
the
most
value
to
your
network,
that's
how
you
build
this
kind
of
new
world
right.
B
B
So
what
is
this
for
developers
like
as
a
developer?
Why
do
I
care?
Well
you
care,
because
a
few
things
first
of
all,
a
lot
of
developers
already
in
open
source
right,
open
source
is
like
makes
sense
to
almost
all
the
developers
and
what
kind
of
in
open
web
you
get.
Is
this
idea
of
open
services
right
instead
of
just
code?
B
You
actually
have
full
services
that
you
can
rely
on
that
you
can
use
and
kind
of
the
one
of
the
example
when,
for
example,
we
started
a
startup
before
an
ai
and
we
were
deciding
to
use
some
vendors
and
you
look
at
some
vendor
and
you're
like
well.
I
have
no
idea
if
they're
going
to
exist
tomorrow,
if
they're
going
to
exist
in
a
year
right,
if
it's
also
a
startup
like
relying
on
other
startups,
is
hard,
but
in
openweb
in
this
kind
of
ecosystem,
we
can
rely
on
things.
B
You
know
in
a
few
months
they
launched
it
and
it's
now
rivaling
coinbase
right
like
that's
the
idea,
like
you,
don't
really
care
that
it
runs
like
that.
It
was
built
by
a
few
people.
No
in
no
other
like
normal
fine
fintech,
you
would
ever
be
able
to
use
an
application-
that's
built
by
like
few
punks
in
in
a
bit
like
somewhere
in
the
garage
and
put
billions
of
dollars
in
it.
That's
just
like
not
possible,
but
now
kind
of
because
of
the
properties
we
have
in
open
web,
that's
kind
of
the
reliability
and
security.
B
B
Are
they
going
to
run
out
of
cash
and
stuff
like
this
right,
and
so
that's
really
powerful
for
developers,
because
now
you
can
build
faster,
like
in
general,
in
in
this
ecosystem,
you're
able
to
build
way
faster
kind
of
complex
services,
complex
fintech,
but
also
complex
things
simpler
with
reliability
on
other
things,
and
that's
why
this
idea
of
legos
is
coming
coming
up
right.
B
But
beyond
that,
you
also
have
this
kind
of,
because
you
have
the
ownership
that
you
can
distribute
in
the
platform.
You
can
attract
community
contributions
early
again,
like
usually
as
a
developer.
You
know
you
want
to
build
stuff,
but
then,
like
there's
marketing,
there's
you
know
talking
with
people
and
doing
product
work,
there's
design
all
those
things
and
not
always
you
have
the
team
to
do
it
and
you
can
attract
community
contributions.
B
Underneath,
on
the
other
side
right,
like
creators,
I
also
love
the
open
lab
right
because,
as
a
creator
right
now,
you're
locked
on
a
platform
you're
sitting
on
instagram
you're
sitting
on
youtube
and
you
pretty
much
all
of
your
business
and
sometimes
life
is
pretty
much
is
circled
around
that
platform
and
they
kind
of
control
your
distribution.
B
They
control
your
kind
of
connectivity
to
your
fans
to
your
base,
and
so,
if
you
want
to
change
the
platform
you're
pretty
much
losing
all
of
your
business
and
the
idea
of
this
open
web
right
is
to
give
back
the
control
to
give
the
ownership
of
what
they
produce
and
what
they
do
in
their
in
their
base
to
the
creators
and
they're
able
to
kind
of
control.
B
This
they're
able
to
communicate
directly
with
their
fans
and
they're
able
to
really
kind
of
decide
which
platforms
and
which
mediums
they
want
to
use
without
losing
this
connectivity
right,
and
so
there's
like
a
few
companies
in
the
ecosystem
that
are
trying
to
build
this
out
right
now,
which
are
super
exciting
and
finally,
for
users.
Right.
B
You
have
the
ability
to
pretty
much
leverage
all
of
this
connectivity
between
applications
and
power
and
and
pretty
much
get
the
get
the
benefits
of
whatever
or
whatever
the
apps
people
building
in
the
ecosystem
right,
and
we
see
that
right
now,
with
this
kind
of
any
single
application
launching
all
of
the
users
coming
in
from
other
applications
to
try
it
out
right.
We
already
see
that
people
kind
of
are
excited
that
they
have
all
this
kind
of
connectivity
and
they
want
to
see
how
this
works
together.
B
So
kind
of
to
just
give
you
like
with
all
this
right,
we
we
have
kind
of.
We
have
the
infrastructure,
we
have
the
basics
of
the
of
the
three
pillars.
We
have
kind
of
this
vision
like
what?
What
is
that
site?
What's
missing,
what
as
you
as
a
developer
or
as
an
entrepreneur
or
maybe
even
as
a
contributor,
what
are
the
things
to
look
at
right
and
so
the
the
set
of
things
that
are
missing
right
in
that
huge
diagram?
B
That
kind
of
we
have
the
blockchain.
We
have
infrastructure,
we
have
already
set
up
defy
tools,
the
kind
of
why
don't
we
have
you
know
like
applications
that
have
billions
of
users
yet
well,
because
we're
missing
common
set
of
kind
of
higher
level
protocols
right,
I
call
them
app
protocols,
and
this
is
things
like
social
graph
right
right
now.
B
If
you
want
to
build
like
a
facebook
type
of
like
social
network,
you
will
be
pretty
much
collecting
your
social
graph
on
your
server
and
then
you
know
kind
of
it
will
belong
to
the
whoever
builds
this
this
application.
And
so,
if
we
want
to
go
into
the
open
web
principles,
then
the
social
graph
should
belong
to
the
user
right
as
a
user.
I
should
own
my
connections.
I
should
be
able
to
go
to
any
application
that
I
want
and
leverage
it
and
kind
of
that's
a
protocol.
B
We
need
to
build,
it
needs
to
be
scalable,
it
needs
to
be
able
to
handle
kind
of
built
kind
of
billions
of
connections,
and
that
will
power
pretty
much
lots
and
lots
of
applications,
because
now
any
single
app
right
from
instant
messenger
to
social
gra,
to
kind
of
social
network
from
maybe
even
kind
of
you
know,
spotify
to
to
youtube
type
of
application.
You
can
leverage
the
social
graph
to
pretty
much
build
on
top
of
it
like
you,
like
user,
allows
the
application
to
access
this
data,
and
now
this
application
can
leverage
it
right.
B
Obviously,
communication
is
the
other
one
like
how
how
do
we
even
simple
thing?
How
do
we
send
messages
between
two
different
near
accounts?
Right
that
that's
simple
but
then,
like
you
have
notifications,
you
have
kind
of
communication
like
broadcast
communication,
all
the
things
figuring
them
out,
building
protocol
that
all
those
applications
can
start
using
and
connecting
with
users.
B
We
also
have
media
right
right
now
kind
of
we
have
nfts
which
are
really
cool
but
they're,
still
pretty
kind
of
st
static,
as
as
as
far
as
experience
go,
and
so
there
are
cool
applications
coming
up
but
like
at
the
end,
you
need
a
protocol
that
kind
of
hosts
all
of
this
metadata,
pretty
much
who
owns
what
like
royalties
for
music
royalties
for
videos
too,
enables
us
creators
to
start
kind
of
moving
away
from.
B
Similarly,
things
like
work
scheduling
right.
How
do
we
pretty
much
get
people
around
the
world
to
do
things
and
and
pretty
much
have
this
marketplace
of
work
right,
that,
like
gig
protocols
like
uber
and
task
taskrabbit,
and
things
like
that
can
be
built
on
top
right
in
in
reality
like
uber
and
lyft?
B
So
all
these
are
kind
of
basic
foundational
protocols
on
one
side,
but
on
this
on
the
other
side,
they
will
enable
kind
of
this
next
wave
of,
like
actual
mass
consumer
applications,
that
you
know
you
can
create
ownership
kind
of
mining
around
like
usage
mining
around
to
grow
them
extremely
fast
right.
You
can
create
a
social
graph
where
you're
lying
around
the
size
of
your
social
graph.
B
The
the
kind
of
ownership
of
the
social
graph
itself
or
the
platform
itself
and
this
platform
as
it
grows,
will
capture
more
and
more
value,
because
more
and
more
applications
will
want
to
leverage
it.
So
you
have
kind
of
this
huge
flywheel
of
of
kind
of
people
joining
of
applications
being
built
that
will
be
built
on
top
of
this
protocol.
So
again,
if
you're
developer,
if
you're
entrepreneur,
if
you're
looking
for
ideas,
if
you're,
considering
what
to
do
next,
these
are
the
things
that
kind
of
needed
to
be
built.
B
That
will
pretty
much
create
tremendous
value
in
the
ecosystem,
but
they
also
will
be
attracting
more
and
more
people
into
this
kind
of
new
way
of
doing
things,
and
so
one
of
the
examples
that
can
already
working-
and
so
this
launch
in
april
is
this
idea
of
near
crowd
and
if
you
know
the
kind
of
the
history
of
nir,
this
was
one
of
the
things
we
were
doing
actually
before
we
started
near
protocol.
It
was
crowdsourcing
and-
and
so
we
wrote
a
lot
about
this
idea
and
somebody
in
community
ended
up
building
it.
B
And
this
idea
of
kind
of
how
do
we
like
organize
people
around
the
world,
to
pretty
much
do
crowdsourcing
right,
do
some
small
tasks
that
are
predictable
in
some
way,
but
to
pretty
much
participate
in
this
economy,
and
so
since
launch
rate
in
april.
It
collected,
I
think,
already
more
than
1.5
million
different
data
samples
and
it's
you
know
almost
like
one
like
one
and
a
half
to
2
000
people
daily
actively
working
on
this
platform,
earning
some
earnings
kind
of
the
salary
from
this,
and
this
actually
changed
people's
lives.
B
There's
people
who
have
literally
realized
that
they
can
work
on
the
internet.
They
can
quit
the
jobs
they
hate
and
pretty
much
participate
in
this
kind
of
global
economy
right
because
they're
able
to
work
in
in
this
platform,
they
like
there's
no
kind
of
boundaries,
there's
no
limits
that
they
need
to
go
over.
B
There's
no
boss,
that
yells
at
them,
or
anything,
there's
also
people
in
in
philippines
who
are
actually
like
not
like
not
having
a
job
at
the
point
and,
like
everything
was
closed,
they
were
able
to
work
from
home
and
actually
like
earn
the
wage
to
do
this.
So
this
kind
of
things
like
this
open
web
principles
they
already
applied
they're
already
working
they're,
already
changing
people's
lives
and
if
you
want
to
learn
more
there's
a
really
good
blog
post
that,
with
like
actual
interviews
of
people,
who've
been
working
on.
B
B
B
So
this
is
exciting
because,
like
we
are
able
to
pretty
much
get
fund
like
get
your
ideas
funded,
get
get
you
to
pretty
much
build
the
most
amazing
applications
and
get
them
in
front
of
people
right
and
I'll.
Let
like
there
will
be
a
lot
of
people
talking
later
today
about,
like
the
guilds
kind
of
the
community,
the
like
kind
of
the
technology,
so
you'll
learn
more
about
it,
but
just
to
kind
of
super
high
level
right.
We
have
findings
through
grants.
B
You
can
apply
to
near
foundation
grants
at
near.org
grants
we
have
proximity
and
on
specifically
for
g5.
So
if
you're
building
the
financial
application,
you're
building
the
fintech,
there's
a
number
of
kind
of
funds
available
for
grants
there,
there's
a
startup
grants,
startup
funds,
which
you'll
learn
more.
I
think
tomorrow
there's
regional
funds
which
were
setting
up,
and
so
one
of
the
first
ones
we
launched
is
in
near
in
ukraine,
which
is
allowing
to
specifically
fund
kind
of
startups
in
ukraine
in
like
russian-speaking
region.
B
They
all
have
pretty
much
subscribed
to
this
vision
of
open
web
of
web
3
of
ownership,
economy
of
passion,
economy
and
they're
funding
it
kind
of
through
the
through
the
ecosystem,
because,
like
this
is
coming,
this
is
happening.
This
is
changing
the
world
right
now,
so
I'll
just
leave
you
with
the
last
thing,
which
is
keep
learning.
So
this
is
kind
of
the
principle
we
use
like
in
general.
B
One
one
of
the
kind
of
big
things
about
near
is:
you
know
near
stands
for
innovation
near
stands,
for
kind
of
growth
mindset,
we're
never
kind
of
satisfied
with
what
we've
built
with
what
we've
done
so
far.
You
know
if
you
know
again,
if
you
know
our
history,
we've
changed
our
sharding
design
because
we
realized
like
it's
suboptimal.
We
keep
iterating,
alex
skinov,
actually
won
east
lisbon
hackathon
with
another
sharding
design
that
he's
researching
so
there's
like
always
trying
to
learn
always
trying
to
figure
out
better
things.
B
We've
done
a
ton
of
kind
of
research,
together
with
other
blockchain
protocols,
use
like
on
the
whiteboard.
B
B
C
So
I
know
a
lot
of
people
who
have
kind
of
general
ideas,
kind
of
what
you
were
describing
like.
I
have
an
end
game
in
mind,
but
I
don't
know
what
all
of
the
different
blockchain
web
3
options
are
for
me.
Is
there
a
forum
I
mean
there's
the
literal
governance
forum,
so
is
there
kind
of
an
arena
that
you
would
point
people
to
if
they
had
kind
of
nebulous
ideas
and
they
wanted
to
collaborate
and
work
with
somebody
in
the
near
ecosystem.
B
B
B
That's
a
start,
and
then
we
have
number
of
different
kind
of
people
who
specialize
in
different
dimensions
of
the
ecosystem
and
again,
the
point
is
like
this
ecosystem
is
so
huge
and
it's
growing
so
fast
that,
like
there's
no
kind
of
single
point
of
contact
that
will
actually
be
able
to
handle
everything
right,
and
so
you
have
all
those
different
kind
of
organizations
that
are
really
working
with
across
the
ecosystem
with
bunch
of
folks
in
specific
domains.
And
so
that's
that's
a
way
to
connect
with
them.
D
B
Yeah
so
great
question
about
validators.
So
with
november
change,
the
validators
number
stays
the
same,
but
in
december
we're
gonna
actually
increase
the
number
of
seats
and
then
somewhere
january
february.
Pretty
much
will
will
open
up,
what's
called
chunk
only
producers,
and
so
this
will
actually
increase
and
will
over
time
kind
of
align
the
number
of
validators
with
number
of
shards.
So
there
will
be
like
100
chunk
producers
per
shard
and
so
as
more
shards
grow.
You'll
have
more
and
more
values,
and
that
was
always.
B
B
Yeah
so
kind
of
like
again,
I
will
let
max
to
dive
into
details
on
sharding
that
he
has
a
whole
talk,
so
I
don't
want
to
spoil
it,
but
I
mean
we're
getting
we're
getting
multiple
performance
improvements
like
both
from
the
sharding
itself
as
well.
Actually,
the
protocol
team
has
been
working
on
just
improving
a
single
chart
performance
as
well,
so
we're
getting
like
kind
of
I'll.
Let
max
like
kind
of
give
some
numbers
on
specific
improvements,
but
like
it's,
it's
speeding
up
things
we're
getting
more
capacity.
B
B
So,
overall
kind
of
the
way
I
think
of
it,
is
the
as,
as
the
network
grows
right,
there
will
be
use
cases
where
you
need
you.
You
can
still
cannot
rely
on
kind
of
full
consensus
of
something
like
near,
and
so
you
need
app
chains,
because
you
can
optimize
a
lot
what
you
do
on
them.
You
can,
for
example,
like
remove
some
of
the
fees
you
can
reduce
kind
of
the
like
what
you're
doing
with
consensus.
You
can
ship,
you
can
change
consensus
or
remove
it
completely.
B
So
you
can
do
a
lot
of
stuff
in
app
change
that
you
cannot
do
on
a
global
chain,
and
so
that,
like
that,
gives
you,
like
this
whole
new
design
space,
which
you
are
able
to
do
on
the
interpretability
in
general
right.
So
we
have
rainbow
bridge
that
connects
near
an
ethereum
and
they're,
actually,
a
work
in
progress
with
teams
and
customers
to
connect
to
through
ibc
kind
of
and
rainbow
on
both
sides
to
two
cosmos
chains.
B
There's
also
work
with
other
aetherium
chains
and
and
kind
of
exploring
with
non-ethereum
chains
as
well,
so
rainbow
bridge
kind
of
as
a
technology
can
connect
with
other
with
other
chains
any
chain
that
has
a
light.
Client
that
implements
like
client
is
able
to
connect
to,
and
so
there's
definitely
like
folks
and
teams
in
the
ecosystem
that
are
exploring
how
to
build
that,
or
already
got
the
grant
to
do
that.
F
F
Can
you
hear
me
yeah
cool?
I
noticed
on
the
slide
you
had
a
as
in
as
part
of
the
fun
slide.
There
was
a
breakdown
for
regional
funds
and
I
think
the
global
nature
of
the
new
york
community.
That's
very
up.
It's
very
exciting.
To
see
that
there's
an
interest
in
funding.
You
know
projects
in
different
parts
of
the
globe.
Can
you
maybe
talk
a
little
about
the
the
vision
for
seating,
different
geographical
communities
and
opportunities
for
the
members
in
the
community.
B
Yeah,
so
it's
not
fully
ready.
That's
why
I
didn't
talk
much
about
it,
but
in
general
I
mean
we
are
global
community.
We
actually
had
a
conference
in
china
two
days
ago
which
had
like
200
people
there.
You
know
kind
of
I
had
like
a
ton
of
people
on
wechat.
Just
texting
me
like
excited
to
join
that
so
like
the
kind
of
new
ecosystem
is
global.
There's
people
doing
stuff
in
nigeria.
B
B
We
want
to
give
resources
and
kind
of
decentralize
our
own
kind
of
system
through
this
regional
expansion
right
and
so
china
is
a
good
example
because
they
actually
have
kind
of
near
china,
which
is
you
know,
supporting
the
kind
of
ecosystem
there
and
kind
of
working
with
in
general,
with
asian
countries.
B
I've
been
spending
time
in
ukraine.
We've
been
setting
up
some
stuff
there
and
kind
of
I'm
excited
to
keep
expanding
this
and
and
kind
of
create
these
local
hubs
that
are
powering
startups
kind
of
that
are
more
local.
That
speak
the
language
that
are
able
to
help
them
kind
of
in
in
that
locale
and,
as
we
figure
out
like
all
the
details,
we're
going
to
be
announcing
that
and
talking
about
that,
more
all
right,
I'll
I'll
finish
on
this,
it's
really
exciting
to
be
here.
I
hope
you
enjoyed
this
and
thank
you.
