A
B
B
All
right
and
yeah,
let's
get
started.
Oh
thank
you!
So
much
for
the
music
David
as
usual.
Awesome
tunes,
I,
really
I'm
excited
to
have
everybody
here
today
at
the
fifth
near
Foundation
town
hall
of
2023
I'm
Marcus
from
the
near
Foundation
Community
team,
and
we
have.
We
have
a
pretty
awesome
agenda
today.
I'm
really
excited
for
it.
So
you
know
I
just
want
to
be
transparent,
I
hope
we
have
enough
time
to
get
through
all
this
amazing
content.
D
Amazing,
thank
you.
Marcus
for
the
welcome
and
I
agree.
We
have
a
super
jam-packed
incredible
agenda,
so,
let's
get
through
with
it.
So
at
our
last
Town
Hall,
we
heard
from
several
projects
that
are
building
on
and
leveraging
the
bus
Satori
from
near
task.
Pi
speak
flip
side,
Harmony
Guild,
and
we
got
a
ton
of
positive
feedback
on
that.
So
one
thank
you
to
this
project
for
presenting
to
thank
you
for
the
feedback.
We
want
to
incorporate
more
projects
from
the
ecosystem.
D
So
if
you
want
to
pitch
your
project
to
present
it
please
reach
out
to
participate.
The
second
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
is
we'll
soon
be
launching
a
town
hall
Hub
on
the
blockchain
operating
system,
which
will
include
previous
recording
and
upcoming
schedule,
but
also
an
opportunity
for
you
to
ask
questions
and
share
ideas.
D
If
something
comes
to
your
mind,
later
question
number
one
that
we
got
is:
can
you
please
outline
what
near
is
doing
to
prepare
for
the
emerging
positive
environment
in
Hong,
Kong
and
China
so
context
here
for
everybody?
It
indeed
seems
that
there
is
quite
a
lot
of
positivity
coming
on
the
regulatory
side
of
things
from
in
particular
Hong
Kong,
which
will
actually
be
opening
up
to
retail
tomorrow
on
June,
1st
and
also
China.
That
has
made
quite
some
noise
in
the
landscape
and
in
presses.
D
The
second
question
was:
what's
the
roadmap
for
all
things
AI
in
crypto,
especially
given
the
background
of
our
Founders
and
in
particular
Ilya
today,
Ilya
is
unfortunately
not
able
to
join.
He
has
other
commitment
and
he's
actually
right
now
in
Asia,
but
we
are
very,
very
excited.
I.
Think
I
would
be
encourage
everybody
to
read
the
great
blog
post
that
Ilya
wrote
a
couple
of
weeks
back.
D
It's
super
super
easy
to
create
an
account
and
you
don't
need
new
passwords
to
actually
get
onboarding
into
crypto
and
perhaps
even
more
powerful
than
that
is
very,
very
powerful
for
developers
as
an
easy
way
to
actually
onboard
people
and
users
into
your
components.
So
this
is
a
key
major
step
for
actually
enabling
onboarding
and
hopefully
billions
of
users-
hello,
hello,
whoever
you
are.
If
you
can,
please
meet
yourself.
Thank
you
very
much,
and
so
please
continue
to
share
that.
D
C
D
David
chairman,
please
mute.
Thank
you.
Okay,
let's
go
on
to
the
agenda,
please
so
intro!
That's
that's
done.
I'll,
just
remind
us
briefly
of
our
mission
vision
and
strategy
and
conviction.
Then
you'll
hear
from
okrs.
Not
everything
is
green.
On
that
side,
Alex
cookie
will
give
an
update
on
the
bus
and,
what's
coming
up,
we'll
then
hear
from
recent
Partners,
Rove,
taco
and
Cosmos.
Thank
you
guys
for
being
here.
Yadira
will
share
upcoming
events.
D
Scott
from
the
Korea
Hub
will
also
share
a
lot
of
things
that
will
actually
happen
in
Korea
and
are
happening
this
month
and
last
but
not
least,
the
NDC
needs
you,
and
so
Blaise
will
share
an
update
on
that
font.
If
you
have
any
topics
you
want
to
hear
in
the
future,
you
know
what
I'm
gonna
say.
Please
reach
out
the
foundation's
mission.
D
Why
do
we
exist
to
support
the
ongoing
growth
and
development
of
an
autonomous
and
decentralized
ecosystem
in
terms
of
our
convictions?
The
easiness
to
build
more
than
ever
is
extremely
important
and
with
the
bus,
the
ultimate
composability
and
the
ability
to
build
extremely
fast
is
extremely
important
user
experience.
Whatever
we
do.
It's
all
about
being
able
to
onboard
users
and
provide
a
10x
100x,
better
user
experience.
F
Thank
you
so
much
all
right,
so
our
okrs,
we
go
over
this
every
town
hall,
so
I'll
go
through
this
quickly.
Our
North
Star,
1.2
million
monthly
active
accounts
by
the
end
of
this
quarter.
Unfortunately,
we've
been
we've
been
fairly
flat
for
the
past
several
weeks
at
around
800
to
900
000
so
likely
to
to
miss
this
North
Star
for
this
quarter.
F
That
being
said,
we
do
have,
as
we
keep
talking
about
a
ton
of
amazing
momentum,
especially
within
Partnerships,
many
of
whom
will
be
launching
on
mainnet
later
this
year,
and
you
will
hear
from
a
few
of
them
today,
which
are
super
super
exciting
and
then
getting
under
the
hood
a
little
bit.
The
first
okr
is
near
is
the
boss,
as
we
keep
talking
about.
There
were
four
okrs
here.
F
First
one
was
the
near.org
migration,
which
happened,
and
his
completes
the
next
two
getting
one
percent
of
the
community
converted
to
to
the
boss,
we're
currently
on
Pace
I,
would
say
for
around
15
000
by
the
end
of
this
quarter.
Out
of
the
goal,
being
twenty
thousand
so
slight
missed
there,
but
we
actually
have
seen
some
great
momentum
which
I'll
show
you
in
a
sec
in
terms
of
Twitter,
the
goal
was
2.2
million
followers.
F
Our
Grassroots
Dows
being
set
up
with
independent
operations
that
is
complete,
NDC,
V1
governance,
rollout
I,
would
say
it
is
on
Pace
to
be
ready
for
a
Q3
Blaze.
We'll
talk
about
that.
A
little
bit
later
on
today,
NPS
from
the
community,
we
did
a
q1
survey
and
we
came
in
at
around
30..
The
goal
for
this
quarter
is
to
hit
40.
F
near
Horizon,
which
a
lot
of
you
have
heard
about.
The
goal
was
to
have
10
projects
onboarded,
and
we
currently
have
92
projects
with
profiles,
so
amazing
to
see
that-
and
the
one
pretty
big
red
mark
here
is-
is
external
Capital
flowing
into
the
ecosystem.
We
had
a
goal
of
150
million
and
we
there's
been
no
fundraises
yet
this
quarter,
and
then
the
last
category
is
near
is
where
web2
goes
to
become
web.
Three,
the
biggest
right
here
is
is
is
on
a
a
million
Maas
from
Partners.
F
F
A
lot
of
this
was
due
to
a
very
successful
coin:
gecko
Campaign,
which
drove
a
ton
of
new
users
and
new
accounts
to
the
boss.
So
we
now
have
about
12.5
000
accounts
on
the
bus.
Twitter
mentioned
this
we're
at
about
1.8
million
currently
and
then
near
share
a
voice.
I
mentioned
this.
This
is
super
exciting.
F
So
amazing,
to
see
all
of
this,
and
just
a
few
few
big
announcements
in
the
past
two
weeks,
blocked
them
in
making
staking
even
easier
air
chains,
Calder,
which
I
think
just
announced
and
there's
a
I
believe
a
space
is
happening
this
week
with
them
artera
Labs.
Also.
We
just
announced
this
I
think
an
hour
or
two
ago
super
exciting
to
see
that
partnership
go
live
and
then
sweat
launched
their
learn
and
earn
campaign.
G
Awesome
thanks
David,
so
yeah
you
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please
so
feedback
we've
been
hearing
from
folks
in
the
community
is
what's
happening
next
with
boss
and
when
we
say
the
boss,
we
we
mean
actually
the
entire
Tech
stack
of
of
near
not
just
near.org
and
the
the
discovery
layer.
So
we
want
to
show
The
View
into
that,
and
then
how
do
I
get
involved
is
also
something
we've
been
hearing
a
lot
of
feedback
on
so
I
hope,
I
hope
by
the
end
of
this
you'll
see.
G
We're
looking
for
for
partnership
and
many
of
you
from
the
community
have
actually
already
started
to
get
involved
in
work
groups
and
are
helping
co-build
this
with
us.
So
that's
that's
exciting
and
ultimately
we
want
to
keep
keep
jumping
on
that
and
and
really
embracing
open
source
and
and
co-building
everywhere.
We
can
at
the
top
we're
looking
at
fast
off
and
making
it
into
an
SDK.
So
right
now
you
can
use
it
on
near.org.
G
You
want
to
make
sure
anybody
in
the
community
can
be
able
to
use
it
meta
transaction
relayer
we're
also
looking
at
making
more
publicly
available
and
productionizing
in
the
same
way.
So
this
is
the
ability
to
to
send
transactions
on
behalf
of
a
user
enablement.
Engineering
cleanup
to
you
know,
get
to
consensus
and
and
build
out
this
near.org
Gateway
as
fast
as
we
did
in
about
you
know
a
month
and
a
half
there's
just
a
lot
of
Tech
debt.
G
Cross
chain
support.
So
we
do
have
a
theory
of
support
through
metamask.
We
want
to
keep
doubling
down
on
this
into
remote
accounts
and
expanding
across
EVMS
and
and
Beyond
content
moderation,
so
these
components
actually
being
Community
built
as
well,
and
it's
really
exciting.
In
that,
the
community
is
actually
getting
involved
in,
you
know
really
creating
a
safe
environment
for
all
of
us,
and
we
want
these
to
be
available
to
folks,
privacy
and
legal
compliance.
G
So
things
that
you
know
we
will
always
promise
is
like
hashed
identities
for
anything
that
needs
to
be
done
in
the
ability
to
control
your
own
data
when
it
comes
to
analytics.
So
this
is
really
important
philosophically
for
us,
as
a
web,
3
group
we'll
definitely
want
to
keep
having
Community
involvement
here.
Near.Org
is
going
to
go
through
a
new
home
page
actually
again
and
redefining
the
the
main
nav
lots
of
good
feedback
there
optimizing
for
SEO,
so
things
that
are
really
hard.
G
G
So
again
the
sandbox
ux.
So
this
is
the
developer
experience
we're
co-building
with
some
members
in
the
community
content,
moderation,
more
more
things
on
identity
which
actually
Blaze
will
go
into
the
NDC
where
we're
co-building
as
well.
Sharing
and
referrals
we're
looking
for
new
partners
on
too
so
we're
you
know
really
trying
to
to
keep
the
visibility.
So
everybody
can
be
aware
of
of
how
we
can
keep
working
together
as
an
open
source
ecosystem
a
slide.
G
So
who
can
you
connect
with,
though
so
I
mean
it's
helpful
to
see?
But
if
you
want
to
continue
the
conversation
on
anything
you
see
here.
These
are
all
product
managers
who
are
super
excited
to
hear
from
you.
You
can
find
their
at
handles
here
on
near.org,
and
so
you
know
feel
free
to
send
them
a
telegram
message
or
poke
them,
follow
them
and
and
get
a
chance
to
to
get
involved
next
slide.
Okay,
so
how
will
they
be
helpful
right?
So
I
just
want
to
set
everybody's
expectations
like
product
managers.
G
Jobs
is
really
to
help
consolidate
ideas
into
hypotheses,
so
it's
it's
not
to
dictate
how
everything
just
needs
to
be
done.
It's
to
really
bring
together
all
of
the
ideas
that
come
from
a
ton
of
different
sources
and
publish
a
hypothesis
and
we're
going
to
start
publishing
more
hypotheses
from
Pagoda
to
get
more
feedback
through
the
next
slide
through
this
cycle
right.
So
we'll
have
internal
feedback,
of
course,
from
our
own
engineering
teams
and
our
designers.
We'll
do
you
know
formal
structured
user
research
where
there's
interfaces
we
want
to
have
work.
G
Group
sessions
which
are
TPMS
will
help
us
organize
right
across
the
ecosystem
and
ultimately
continue
to
do
our
Market
Research
in
partnership
with
folks
in
marketing
and
BD.
To
make
sure
we
understand
how
everything
is
being
positioned
and
we'll
cycle
through
this
as
many
times
and
as
fast
as
we
can
to
get
to
the
best
tested
hypothesis
before
we
build
together.
So
ultimately,
what
we're
looking
at
next
slide
is
middling
together.
G
So
I
really
appreciate
everybody's
feedback
and
next
slide.
We
promise
that
by
next
week,
we're
going
to
start
showing
some
more
public
snapshots
on
near.org
posts
of
of
the
roadmap
in
progress,
we're
making
on
hypotheses
on
those
on
those
swim
Lanes.
We
showed
you
and
you
should
expect
a
regular
work
group
sessions
for
those
that
get
involved
in
the
different
areas,
with
the
six
PMS
that
I
showed
starting
in
June,
and
thank
you
for
everything
you
all
do.
H
But
we
understand
that
having
such
great
technology
alone
cannot
drive
all
of
this
progress.
So
that's
where
our
BD
team
steps
in
we
work
really
hard
to
Foster,
meaningful
Partnerships,
build
great
communities
and
create
Avenues
of
collaboration
within
the
ecosystem.
Here,
since
the
beginning
of
the
year,
we've
closed
over
40
deals
and
have
grown
to
just
about
20
people
on
the
BD
team.
H
This
is
why
today
it's
such
an
honor
to
bring
on
three
Partners
whose
deals
we've
closed
recently
at
these
Town
Hall
meetings
going
forward,
the
BD
team
is
going
to
highlight
exciting
partners
by
inviting
them
to
speak
to
you
all
without
further
delay.
I
would
like
to
invite
my
colleague
Alex
to
introduce
Rove
the
deal
he
led.
I
The
team
is
already
collaborating
with
with
a
number
of
big
Brands,
such
as
Tommy,
Hilfiger
and
they're,
soon
releasing
a
Rolf
weld
version
2,
which
will
introduce
a
lot
of
new
create
features.
So
the
New
Foundation
has
announced
the
partnership
growth
last
month
right
in
time
for
nft,
NYC
and
yeah.
J
Thank
you,
Alex
super
excited
to
be
here
really
really
exciting,
to
be
working
with
the
the
near
foundation
and
see
all
the
developments
on
this
chain
yeah,
so
just
to
jump
in
really
quickly.
On
Rove,
as
Alex
mentioned,
our
main
focus,
we
are
a
mobile
app
available
in
IOS
and
Android,
so
we
got
approved
by
the
App
Store.
J
The
two
main
products
that
we
focus
on
are
blockchain
based
ticketing,
as
well
as
on-chain
Loyalty
Rewards
for
Brands
creators
and
artists,
with
a
lot
of
the
themes
mentioned
here
right,
such
as
onboarding
the
masses
merging
the
physical
and
digital.
This
is
really
kind
of
where
Rove
lives,
so
we
have
four
key
features
of
our
app
that
really
make
this.
We
think
a
user-friendly
experience.
The
first
is
you
log
into
this
app
with
your
email,
and
you
have
a
digital
wallet
created
for
you.
J
J
In
addition,
we
have
in-app
purchases
and
credit
card
payments
as
a
Fiat
on-ramp
and
last
but
not
least,
you
can
send
assets
to
other
users
through
usernames,
so
we
have
social
profiles
rather
than
wallet
addresses.
We
think
these
four
features
will
really
be
key
to
providing
this
ongoing
utility
and
onboarding
the
masses.
J
As
Alex
mentioned,
our
core
Focus
areas
are
fashion.
Film,
music
and
sports.
We've
worked
with
the
likes
of
Tommy
Hilfiger,
and
we
have
some
big
deals
in
formation
with
near
and
some
of
the
other
verticals
that
will
go
alongside
the
launch
of
our
V2
just
to
wrap.
This
up
V2
will
feature
in-app
stores
which
will
allow
these
Brands
to
sell
digital
assets
direct
to
their
consumers
and
track
their
loyalty
track
their
attendance
and
get
that
direct
data
on
an
ongoing
basis.
J
So
we
expect
V2
and
the
near
wallet
integration
to
be
ready
in
roughly
two
months
Alex.
If
you
can,
if
you
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
yeah,
so
just
to
give
you
guys
a
little
overview
of
our
traction,
so
Rogue
was
initially
built
on
Solana,
but,
as
Alex
mentioned
near,
we
are
integrating
near
into
Rove.
So
this
is
a
multi-chain
expansion
for
us
and
we're
extremely
excited
to
roll
out
Business,
Development
and
future
features
on
near
just
to
go
over
some
of
our
traction.
J
We've
been
live
since
January
20th.
So
around
four
months
now,
within
the
first
two
months
of
launch,
we
had
over
14
000
on-chain
transactions.
We
had
downloads
in
over
200
countries
and
six
continents,
so
very
Global
user
base
we
had
over
5711
tickets
claimed.
We
now
have
over
ten
thousand
over
a
million
Road
credits
spent
many
nfts
staked
in
the
app
and
a
growing
user
base.
K
K
So,
basically,
we
have
been
launching
the
partnership
together
with
taco,
and
this
will
enable
utilizing
Taco
they
will
be,
will
be
able
to
give
Shopify
retailers,
Next,
Generation,
Customer
Loyalty
program
and
also
be
able
to
facilitate
the
Innovative
loyalty
approach
and
also
incentive
device
brand
behaviors
together
and
now
give
the
stage
to
the
founder
of
Taco
Z
to
give
everyone
more
color.
Regarding
toggle.
L
Thanks
Maggie,
if
you
go
to
our
opening
slide,
I'll
kind
of
mention
the
idea
behind
why
we're
doing
taco
and
the
the
value
that
we
add
so
usually
the
first
question
we
get
is:
why
do
we
call
it
Taco?
The
simple
answer
is
that
everybody
likes
tacos
I've
never
met
anyone
who
hates
tacos.
So
that's
why
the
name
Taco
just
works
and
then
I
think.
L
What's
really
interesting
about
the
way
we've
seen
when
we
talk
about
web
2
to
web3
it's
you
know,
there's
it
can
mean
many
things
for
many
different
people
when
you
look
at
shopping
Behavior
or
how
Brands
reward
customers,
one
of
the
earliest
things
that
brands
have
done
is
give
people
points
but
points
even
they're.
You
know
they're
great
for
you
to
come
back
to
the
same
brand.
They
aren't
great
for
consumers
because
for
on
the
consumer
side,
they
lock
you
into
that
one
brand.
L
So
the
vision
we've
had
for
taco
since
the
beginning
is
that
we
wanted
a
way
to
not
just
get
web
2
into
web
3,
but
really
completely
disconnect
or
you
know,
as
a
core
of
blockchain
goes.
Have
it
be
completely
decentralized?
Where
you
aren't
locked
to
a
specific
brand,
so
what
was
that
one
unique?
You
know
Ultra
exchangeable
token.
We
could
create
and
different
different
brands
have
done
different
things.
L
We've
seen
crypto
community's
launch
helper
Brands
launch
their
own
tokens,
but
I
think
if
you're
really
trying
to
incentivize
and
align
yourself
with
the
consumer,
you
would
figure
out
a
way
to
not
just
help.
Have
the
brand
launch
this
token,
but
have
the
token
be
something
that's
exchangeable?
That's
directly
has
value
with
himself.
So
when
we
first
build
Taco,
we
were
building
on
polygon.
L
We
we
built
on
Flow
and
the
biggest
concern
for
us
was
the
volatility
around
polygon,
not
to
say
that
it's
a
bad
chain.
It's
just
that
Brands
want
predictability
costs
as
and
again
transaction
speed.
How
fast
is
going
to
take
and
we
felt
like
with
near
we
could
build
a
ramp
that
lets
you
go
from
points
to
tokens
and
the
token
itself
has
value.
L
So
if
you
really
wanted
to
build
an
ecosystem
around
points
that
can
be
converted
to
any
other
brand,
you
would
just
have
to
build
some
system
that
Brands
can
use
other
reveals
tokens.
So
that's
how
we
kind
of
do
our
rewards
for
your
for
your
community,
where
we've
seen
companies
like
Inbetweeners
was
a
pretty
big,
Justin,
Bieber
club
that
was
done
on
ethereum.
We
helped
them
token
gate
their
bare
chains.
L
They
also
did
a
hoodie
recently
plus
they
also
did
all
the
discounts
there's
also
a
if
there's
a
phone
company
called
nothing,
so
we
help
them
reward
their
customers
with
discount
codes.
So
essentially,
what
Taco
does
it
token
Gates
rewards
and
exclusive
merch
and
discount
codes,
and
also
gives
you
cashback,
which
you
can
then
convert
to
tokens
and
Maggie?
If
you
go
to
the
next
screen
or
whoever's
control,
if
you
go
to
the
next
screen,
there
is
a
video,
it
might
work
better.
L
If
you
actually
share
that
link
and
Chad
and
people
can
watch
it,
async
I,
don't
think
the
audio
will
actually
play,
but
we
have
a
quick
video
that
shows
how
easy
it
is
to
take
an
e-commerce
store
and
wrap
it
around
a
token
gate.
That's
locked
to
near
what
I
really
want
to
talk
about,
though,
is
I
mean
we
can
watch
this,
but
I,
don't
think
I'll
just
go
to
play
on
the
next
slide.
We
talk
about
a
roadmap.
Well,
we
can
watch
the
video.
What
do
you
want
to
do?
L
Perfect
that'd
be
great,
so
our
roadmap
is
to
essentially
allow
not
just
exclusive
products
which
you
can
see
in
that
video,
but
we
want
to
unlock
everything
for
holders.
This
could
be
discount
codes.
This
could
be
real
status.
This
could
be
the
number
like
the
specific
nfts
they
own.
It
could
be.
This
could
be
a
combination
of
nfts.
We
have
seen
we
call
it.
I
mean
everybody
calls
it
it's
like
a
permissionless
collaboration.
L
How
can
you
collaborate
with
another
Community
project
and
pro
and
provide
value
not
just
to
your
holders
but
as
a
collaboration
with
somebody
else?
How
can
you
use
two
different
nfts
that
are
owned
for
the
two
different
Collections
and
provide
product
so
very
powering
that
through
near
we
do
do
other
chains,
but
we're
now
actually
investing
just
one
year
and
we're
actually
only
building
our
future
redmap
on
near
we're
no
longer
multi-chain
for
a
lot
of
the
features
that
we
launched.
L
The
other
thing
that
we
want
to
do
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
is
like
the
conversion
of
token
into
points
or
points
to
the
Token.
So
it's
like
a
two-way
street.
Some
people
want
to
give
people
rewards
for
staking
and
those
are
coming
in
as
what
you'd
call
like
a
erc20.
A
token,
then,
when
you
go
to
like
the
web
2
world,
which
is
what
Shopify
is,
there's
no
real
way
to
actually
take
tokens
and
get
merch
so
for
that
we
have
an
off-ramp
from
web3
back
into
web
2.
L
So
we
have
a
conversion,
there's
also
a
a
cashback
option,
as
you
can
decide.
Do
you
want
to
like
a
brand?
Can
give
you
let's
say
every
token
is
worth
whatever
this
value
or
you
do
want
to
2x
that
and
give
them
a
better
reason
to
get
your
merch
like.
How
do
you
incentivize
people
to
get
your
merge
versus
just
take
the
cash
and
run
so
over
here?
L
We're
having
Brands
think
about
like
how
do
they
really
want
to
talk
to
their
consumers
and
how
do
I
actually
want
to
build
a
loyal
following
because
the
more
options
you
give
your
consumers,
it
is
the
better
it
is
for
them.
So
if
you
really
want
to
build
loyal
consumers,
you
will
Empower
them
to
a
either
hold
your
tokens
as
staking
or
cash
them
out
for
like
hard
cash
or
Fiat
or
say
you
know
what
I
actually
love
this
brand
I
want
to
come
in
and
I'm
going
to
take.
L
My
tokens
get
a
50
bonus
for
converting
them
to
points
and
get
this
product
that
I
really
like,
and
then
the
other
thing
that
we
really
want
to
do
is
for
Brands.
We
want
to
skip
the
entire
journey
of
them
even
having
to
figure
out
like
how
do
they
go
about
air
dropping?
Are
they
going
to
do
QR
codes?
L
They
want
to
reward
customers
for
buying
certain
products,
for
example,
we're
talking
to
a
a
coffee
shop,
they're
completely
off
chain
they're,
not
even
using
Shopify
they're
using
Square,
and
they
want
to
figure
out
like
how
can
I
reward
my
customers
with
loyalty,
nfts
and
again
they're
not
connected
to
anything
online
they're.
Just
like
I,
just
I
just
wanted
something
nfts.
What
can
we
do?
I'm
like?
Well,
we
can
do
a
QR
code.
You
come
in
scan
the
QR
code,
you'll
claim
it.
L
It'll
drop
your
wallet
and
if
you
collect
one
per
week
and
every
week
is
a
new
one
and
you
come
in
for
you
know,
14
weeks
you
have
14
unique
nfts,
you
can
convert
those
into
a
bigger
price.
So
how
do
you
do
like?
You
know
wrapped
up
sales
or
complete
the
collection
kind
of
stuff?
So
that's
the
kind
of
stuff
we're
building
on
near
for
Brands,
and
we
want
to
make
that
a
simple
marketing
product
for
them.
That's
really.
It.
M
Great
so
hi
everyone,
my
name,
is

I'm
super
happy
to
present
to
you
one
of
the
most
exciting
Partnerships
that
we
launched
this
year
with
a
company
called
Cosmos.
So
what
this

to
shop
in
nearby

saving
time
money
and
the
environment.
They
are
pivoting
right
now
into
web
3,
using
near
blockchain
I'm
going
to
handle
over
now
to
Jerry
who
leads
the
product
for
Cosmos
AI
Jerry.
The
stage
is
yours.
A
Yeah,
thank
you.
Go
to
the
next
slide,
please
so
good
afternoon.
Everyone
I
hope
you
are
doing
very
well.
My
name
is
Jerry
and
I'm
from
possible
AI.
It's
pleasure
to
meet
all
of
you
today
and
share
some
of
the
exciting
things
we
are
working
on
with
near
so
about
cosmoke.
We
are
an
AI
for
retail
company
and
recently
we
had
the
opportunity
to
partner
with
Nia
very
closely
to
further
our
vision,
which
we
call
shop
attainment
to
bring
in
the
fun
into
shopping
and
more
so,
could
you
go
to
the
next
slide
today.
A
I
will
like
to
share
with
you
two
about
our
products,
our
shopping
platform
for
Kai
Kai
and
a
lock
screen
solution.
So
in
the
next
slide
you
can
see
that
okay
I'm
willing
to
bet
that
many
of
us
here
share
a
common
love
for
coffee.
So
please
picture
this.
You
are
purchasing
like
a
five
dollar
cup
of
coffee
through
an
e-commerce
app
and
most
likely,
when
you
play
with
a
credit
card,
your
payment
processor
will
charge.
You
will
have
the
10
fee
fee
to
the
platform.
A
So
as
an
e-commerce
operator,
this
significantly
decrease
your
profit
machine
and
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide
in
Cosmos
right,
we
observe
this
phenomenon
within
our
own
shopping,
app.
Okay.
So
in
a
nutshell,
what
kekai
does
is
that
we
enable
users
to
discover
the
best
product
nearby
in
an
omni,
Channel
Manner
and
click
and
collect
them
and
saving
time
and
money
for
user.
A
So
we
were
conceptualizing
a
solution
for
the
happy
chess
from
stride
and
in
the
next
slide
you
can
see
that
since
2022
we
have
partnered
with
near
to
develop
a
payment
reward
system.
We
call
it
Kai
Ching,
just
like
the
South
cash
register,
kaching,
which
allows
user
to
solve,
with
cryptocurrency
at
a
very
low
transaction
fee
and
in
the
next
slide
in
addition
to
payment,
we
also
use
Kai
Ching
as
the
tool
for
cashback
reward
and
loyalty.
A
If
you
appreciate
the
value
of
crypto
a
lot
more
and
we
see
that
the
adoption
the
packing
continued
to
rise
since
the
December
Inception
and
now
it's
accounting
for
more
than
68
of
all
the
transaction,
which
is
very
surprise
surprising
to
us-
and
this
doesn't
just
only
drive
the
user
retention
but
also
increase
the
average
number
of
monthly
purchase
to
3.4.
So
with
how
many
apps
do
you
purchase
more
than
three
times
per
month?
A
I
bet
that
I'm
not
mainly
and
Kaka,
is
happy
to
be
one
of
them
and
in
the
next
slide
recently
we
ran
even
a
more
aggressive
experience
of
selling
kaichi
to
our
user,
and
we
saw
that
user
actually
buy
this
package
and
those
who
bought
the
tickets.
They
are
more
engaging
by
50,
more
item
and
the
average
order
value
increase
40.
So
those
users
become
addicted
to
us,
we
call
them
kakaiholics
and
they
even
buy
a
product
every
single
day.
A
So
now
we
feel
that
if
we
continue
to
do
that,
we
will
be
saving
a
lot
of
money
on
the
transaction
fee
compared
to
the
traditional
method.
So
on
a
single
propography,
we
will
be
serving
more
than
170
annually,
so
you
can
imagine
all
the
potential
receiving
if
we
were
to
transition
all
the
payment
on
the
blockchain
yeah
and
as
the
next
step
right.
We
are
currently
in
the
process
of
migrating
caching,
Wireless
and
transaction
to
the
near
midnight,
and
we
are
receiving
a
lot
of
support
from
Pagoda
team.
A
For
that
now,
let
me
introduce
you
to
our
latest
Initiative
for
kaikai
now,
which
is
the
lock
screen
solution
in
the
next
line.
That's
one
thing
that
we
realized
that
on
average
you
look
at
your
lock
screen
approximately
like
80
times
per
day.
So
it's
time
for
us
to
make
a
meaningful
experience.
So
we
are
working,
collaborating
with
leading
Android
phone
providers
to
revolutionize
the
lock
screen
experience.
A
So
it
comes
as
an
out
of
above
solution
when
you
buy
the
phone
and
in
the
next
slide,
we
estimated
that
around
1
billion
people
will
interact
with
our
cultivating
content
on
their
lock
screen
across
the
world
and
in
the
next
slide
we
are
currently
in
the
process
of
transitioning.
This
whole
experience
to
the
blockchain.
We
will
make
use
of
our
experience
in
loyalty
program.
A
We
will
Instant
divide
people
with
teaching
for
the
interaction
on
the
lock
screen,
and
by
doing
so,
we
aim
to
make
catching
the
most
used
cryptocurrency
and
hence
to
make
near
the
most
likely
used
protocol
in
the
world
yeah
and
I'm.
Looking
ahead,
our
roadmap
include
forcing
closer
collaboration
with
near
and
exploring
the
potential
of
the
BOS.
We
also
very
excited
to
find
other
meaningful
space
and
partnership
with
fellow
ecosystem
participants
yeah.
Thank
you
once
again.
For
all
the
time
and
attention
and
I
hope
you
enjoy
your
coffee.
E
All
right,
let's
just
jump
right
into
it.
We
have
a
bunch
of
event
updates.
So
next
slide,
please
David
nircon
2023
we're
going
to
start
off
hot
next
slide.
So
those
of
you
who
might
have
remembered
we
had
said
we
wanted
to
go
to
market
on
June
1st.
Unfortunately,
we
do
need
to
push
that
out
two
weeks.
Reason
being
is:
there
are
a
number
of
technical
Integrations
we're
working
on.
This
is
the
first
year
near
con
is
going
to
be
fully
integrated
into
boss.
We're
super
excited
about
this
experience.
E
So
ticketing
will
work
as
follows.
All
primary
onboarding
is
going
to
be
done
through
key
Palm
ticket
transaction,
both
Fiat
and
crypto
will
be
available
through
varican
and
secondary
Marketplace
for
reselling
and
on-chain
goods
and
perks
will
be
done
through
mint
base.
So
if
we
take
through
one
of
these
examples,
let's
say
Bob
goes
to
nearcon.org.
He
really
likes
where
he
sees.
He
is
very
curious
about
the
event
and
wants
to
purchase
a
ticket.
E
He
will
go
through
the
registration
form
and
then
he
will
be
connected
to
key
Palm
seamlessly
where
he
will
be
primarily
onboarded
and
that's.
If
you're,
an
existing
wallet,
holder
or
a
new
wallet
holder,
then
you'll
be
taken
through
your
ticket
transaction
you'll
decide
if
you
want
to
pay
in
Fiat
or
crypto
with
American
and
say:
Bob
has
a
wedding
during
their
combat.
Now
he
can't
go
to,
but
his
friend
Jane
actually
wants
to
buy
his
ticket.
He
can
actually
go
into
nearcon.org
in
his
account.
That's
on
boss
and
see
oh
wow.
E
I
can
resell
my
ticket
on
mint
base.
He'll
click
through
that
follow
the
prompts
and
he
will
be
able
to
resell
to
Jane
and
if
you
didn't
know
Jane
and
he
wanted
to
just
list
his
ticket,
he
will
still
be
able
to
do
that.
So
really
excited
about
all
of
that
huge
shout
out
to
Jake
and
petar
who
have
been
designing
and
integrating
this
into
boss.
Ben
from
keep
on
who's,
been
a
huge
help
at
the
varican
team,
American
team
and
also
the
broader
mint
base
team.
E
Also
side,
note
Community,
speaker
applications.
Those
will
also
be
live
on
June
15th,
as
well
as
our
sponsorship
prospectus.
Just
a
quick
note
to
add
our
community
speaker
application.
We
will
be
prioritizing
highly
technical
sessions
this
year
here.
Please
keep
it
focused
on
the
product,
not
chili.
We
want
to
know
all
about
Solutions
and
what
you're
bringing
to
the
near
ecosystem
and
Beyond
so
coming
soon,
we'll
have
stage
renderings
and
more
on
the
attendee
experience.
So
thank
you
again
to
everyone
who
joined
the
creative
brainstorm
sessions.
E
E
So
if
you're
in
town
a
little
earlier
for
eats
Waterloo-
and
you
have
a
day
in
between
this-
will
be
a
great
one
to
check
out.
If
you
want
to
know
more
info
on
the
actual
opportunity,
I
would
say
near.org
collision
and
we
do
have
a
few
extra
tickets.
So
if
you
are
an
ecosystem
project
and
you
are
based
in
Toronto
DM
us
on
Twitter
reach
out
to
me,
reach
out
to
Olga
we'll
go
ahead
and
hook
you
up
with
a
ticket.
This
is
primarily
like
a
startup
developer,
Enterprise
sort
of
audience.
E
So
if
you're
curious
to
know
more
definitely
check
out
near.org
Collision
next
slide,
okay
eat
CC,
so
ECC
is
July
17th
through
the
20th.
We
have
a
side
event
on
the
16th
and
17th.
It's
going
to
be
broken
out
into
two
days
that
first
one
is
going
to
be
very
technically
focused
on
on
boss,
so
think,
boss,
Vision
boss
for
devs
Boss
Tech
breakdown
for
partners.
There
will
be
a
few
in
by
only
research
groups
and,
of
course,
networking
and
happy
hours
day.
E
Two
is
going
to
be
more
Founders
focused,
really
building
Focus
as
well
so
VC
workshops
from
our
backer
Network,
a
session
from
proximity,
a
near
Horizon,
pitch
competition
and
more
networking
and
happy
hour.
We
have
selected
the
Museum
of
Natural
History
and
we
are
going
to
specifically
have
the
verdiniket
section
of
the
museum,
so
the
broader
Museum
as
a
whole
is
an
official
ECC
venue
for
citamins,
but
we
have
secured
this
one
small
area,
it's
not
very
small.
E
It's
still
very
ample
in
size
and
you'll,
see
in
that
lower
right
hand,
corner
that
there's
an
area
for
a
stage
for
all
of
these
sessions.
There's
co-working
on
the
sides:
we
have
some
chill
Lounge
resting
areas
and
then
not
pictured
on
here,
but
kind
of
outdoors
in
the
garden
will
also
have
a
really
cool
area
to
activate
outside.
For
everyone
who
wants
to
kind
of
come,
hang
out
drop
into
a
couple
of
sessions.
Meet
a
couple
of
people,
definitely
block
your
calendars.
We'll
have
more
information
on
this
coming
soon.
E
June
13th
is
launch
date
and
we
didn't
complete.
We
didn't
complete
a
slide
on
Viva
Tech,
but
I
do
want
to
give
it
a
special
shout
out,
because
our
very
own,
Marie
Clement
will
be
speaking
there
on
June
16th
from
10
a.m.
To
10
35
on
a
panel
that
is
called,
is
crypto
still
trustworthy,
it'll
be
featuring.
Pascal
Gautier,
the
CEO
of
Ledger
Mitchell
armador,
the
CEO
of
immunify
and
the
moderator
will
be
cnbc's
senior
Tech,
correspondent,
Arjun
carpal.
E
N
Hello,
everyone
so
I'm
going
to
share
they're
about
the
two
events
that
we're
going
to
be
having
within
next
10
days.
Next
slide
yeah,
so
we
have
two
events
called
Esau
2023
and
the
Beatles
Asia.
These
two
events
are
both
organized
by
cryptosol
named
Erica.
I
know
some
of
me.
Some
of
you
know
already
know
Erica.
She
has
done
a
great
job
hosting
these
two
events
since
2018..
So
esole
is
a
more
core
Builders
developers.
It
is
happening
from
June
2nd
to
4th.
N
So
there's
gonna
be
like
a
solo
after
party
VIP
dinner
for
the
side
events
and
for
the
middle
Asia.
We
are
the
diamond
sponsor
at
this
time,
and
so
it's
gonna
be
happening
from
June
6th
to
8th
and
and
the
Ilia
is
going
to
be
the
keynote
speaker,
and
we
expect
about
thousands
and
500
people
to
join,
and
then
we
have
official
site
event
posting
with
the
hashed
next
slide,
yeah.
N
So
back
to
Esau
it's
a
three-day
event,
so
it's
basically
there's
an
hackathon
and
then
there's
gonna
be
a
keynote.
The
leaders
are
gonna,
gonna,
be
the
judge
for
the
general
track,
and
so
there
are
gonna
be
a
lot
of
workshops.
Mentorings,
you
know
the
hacker
houses
and
on
June
ports,
there's
gonna
be
a
judging
session
and
then
there's
going
to
be
a
well
worth
ceremony
and
after
that,
there's
going
to
be
some
after
party
and
then
we'll
make
sure
we
to
attend
next
slide
yeah.
N
So
for
this
one
we're
we're
glad
to
announce
that
we
have
a
total
Bounty
prize
about
30
000,
including
the
proximity
ones.
So
our
our
main
theme
right
now
is
to
develop
a
near-dapps
specialized
for
Mass
adoption
using
rust,
JavaScript
or
EDM
through
Aurora.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
you
know
the
web
three
real
use
cases
that
can
achieve
Mass
adoption.
We
expect
to
see
a
a
more
of
a
good.
N
You
know
dabs
in
real
life
and
that's
gonna,
be
starting
from
June
2nd
next
slide.
So,
as
you
can
see,
Elia
is
a
keynote
speaker
here
of
the
beautiful
Asia.
For
those
of
you
who
might
not
familiar
with
the
middle
Asia,
it's
a
it's
a
basically
a
technical
conference
dedicated
to
sharing
Technical
and
business
development
in
the
crypto
space,
and
it
has
been.
N
N
So
I
think
this
is
very
meaningful
because
it's
our
first
time
hosting
this
event
with
hash
next
slide.
So,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
a
keynote
speaker.
A
lot
of
people
will
join
we'd
like
to
see
you
know:
Alex
from
Aurora
a
boy
from
proximity
ran
from
orderly
and
the
Mian,
which
is
a
Nim
Marvel
X.
They
recently
have
joined.
We
haven't,
announced
it
yet,
but
they're
gonna
be
coming
here
and
speaking
about
our
Partnerships
next.
N
So,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
a
lot
of
great
neuro
questioning,
Partners
I
think
this
is
a
a
very
closed,
our
partners
from
near
Korea
that
we
have
been
building
trust
and
relationships
since
we
launched
and
they
all
going
to
be
coming
here
as
a
sponsor
or
the
partners.
So
we
expect
to
be
great
turnout
and
then
we
accept
expect
about
200
people
250
people
to
participate.
N
So
for
those
of
you,
if
anyone
who's
coming
to
Korea,
let
us
know
if
you
need
some
any
tickets
or
helps
or
if
you
need
to
meet
anyone
like
PCS
or
Partners
Enterprises,
let
me
know,
and
in
the
meanwhile
we
are
making
sure
that
we're
keeping
Elias
busy.
So
we
just
had
a
meeting
with
LG
Electronics
and
with
the
Ilia
I
I
want
to
make
sure
it's
very
busy
before
he
lives
to
Vietnam.
So
that's
about
it.
Thank
you
guys.
C
All
right,
hey
everyone,
give
a
quick
update
on
NDC.
It
looks
like
the
slide,
didn't
quite
make
it
in
here
with
some
of
our
updates
there
we
go
okay,
so
yeah,
so
one
of
the
things
that
we've
been
doing
in
NDC,
which
NDC
is
a
community-led
movement
to
build
governance
on
near.
So
it's
to
established
governance
for
the
entire
ecosystem
and
what
we've
got
is
we've
been
prototyping
a
proof
of
humanity.
Protocol
on
here
called
I
am
human,
and
so
this
is
now
the
third
iteration
of
this
protocol
that
we've
been
working
on.
C
So
we
did
two
other
iterations
was
launcha
eat.
Denver
did
some
testing
with
ogs
brought
it
online
for
the
community
a
few
weeks
back?
Had
them
test
it
for
a
while,
and
then
we
brought
it
down
and
have
been
retooling
it
and
re-scoping
it
to
integrate
with
a
new
identity
provider
fractal,
which
many
are
familiar
with
in
the
near
ecosystem.
C
This
is
primarily
based
on
soul,
bound
tokens,
which
is
also
a
new
standard
on
near.
So,
as
you
become
a
human
on
near,
you
have
a
sold
out
tokens
that
you
can
acquire
to
prove
your
humanity
and
then
that
allows
you
to
contribute
to
governance
of
the
near
ecosystem
by
doing
voting
and
voting
in
representatives
and
things
of
that
nature.
So
we're
happy
to
announce
that
we
now
have
this
next
version,
which
we're
calling
V1
on
test
net,
and
so
that's
ready
for
the
community
to
begin
to
test
provide
feedback.
C
It
has
a
new
ux
integrated
with
fractal
lots
of
different
changes
there.
So
we're
looking
for
your
feedback
there.
The
other
exciting
thing
that
happened
last
week
is,
as
the
community
assembles
around
NDC
and
more
leaders,
ogs
Community
contributors
come
forward.
Something
really
unique
happened
that
really
was
cool,
and
that
is
the
community
assembled
to
create
nft
line
literally
within
about
three
days
so
shout
out
to
Russ,
who
is
our
community
manager
as
well
as
Deuce
a
lot
and
The
Shard
dog?
They
created
nft
line
specific
to
our
first
constellation
Summit.
C
You
know
and
all
the
leaders
of
those
different
work
groups
joined
together
to
really
sharpen
the
iron
and
get
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about
NDC
and
one
another.
So
we
did
an
nft
drop
for
those
citizens.
It's
called
The
Citizen
nft
drop
so
that
took
place
last
week,
kind
of
had
a
lot
of
energy
on
Twitter
and
within
the
community
itself.
You
can
expect
more
nft
drops
coming
so
look
for
events
in
the
NDC
Hub.
We
drop
the
link
in
the
chat
here
for
you.
So
please
join
the
Hub.
C
Look
for
more
onboarding
events
taking
place.
We
have
the
degens
online,
so
one
of
the
work
groups
that
spun
up
was
the
Degen
so
like.
How
do
we
amplify
messages
in
a
decentralized
ecosystem,
so
their
real
mission
is
to
amp
and
chill
and
we're
happy
to
announce
that
they
came
online
this
week
officially.
So
that
is
another
update
there
and
then
we
have
our
work
groups.
You
know
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
effort
taking
place
in
the
work
groups
by
the
community
and
we
have
our
Charters
there
at
about
85
to
95
percent.
C
So
what
the
community
is
actually
working
on
is
bringing
on
V1
governance
and
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
effort
going
on
there.
So
really
just
invite
everyone
on
this
call
and
everyone
watching
on
YouTube,
or
that
might
see
it
later
to
really
join
the
movement
and
join
this
movement
to
build
governance
on
near
led
by
the
community.
So
thank
you.
D
And
I
believe
that's
a
wrap.
I
know
we're
out
of
time,
but
I
hope
that
there
is
one
message
that
you
take
away
from
this
town
hall
is
the
incredible
amount
of
talent,
developers
and
projects
that
are
being
built
on
here,
and
so,
while
our
numbers
are
not
yet
fully
in
the
green
I,
think
you
get
a
lot
of
Hope
from
the
incredible
amazing
work
that
is
coming.
That
will
ultimately
get
transformed
into
very
positive
green
numbers.
All
the
pieces
of
the
puzzle
are
in
place
for
near
to
be
very
successful
and
with
that.
