Transcript

okay hi everyone welcome uh from eats Prague I'm Annette and I'm going to welcome you here with Austin um to talk a little bit about uh today's hackathon and what are The Vibes and uh how Austin is supporting hackers um in he with his initiatives so Austin feel free to welcome Vibes are great hacker hackers are hacking uh it's awesome to see uh here in Prague there are uh doing cool things and I'm excited to see it I'm Austin Griffith I have a dow sort of called build Guild and we incentivize Builders and give out Ubi we build scaffold eth which is an

app building toolkit and we have speed run ethereum around that that teaches uh folks not just how to build on ethereum but why okay so these are like the ways how you are supporting the hackers uh I'm wondering like when uh the hacker is starting the like working on ethereum or like when you have a web to Dev how he can like start working on web to web3 and how what tools you are recommending them to use and like what's the journey how you wish they could go yeah I think my answer to that is Speed Run ethereum basically uh we've I've done a ton of mentorship sessions I've spent a lot of time figuring out what devs need to

learn to kind of go through the Tour of Duty and learn what they need to build and so speedrun ethereum.com takes you through not just how but why it kind of teaches you about a decentralized staking app and how people could kind of coordinate uh financially without having to trust each other they just have to trust the code and so there's a lot of those aha moments during the the speed run and then once they go through the speed run they kind of join build Guild and we give stream games but we're also doing this new thing called cohort streams and the cohort streams are a smart contract with a pool of eth in it and then some overall goal that something that we want to see built and uh then we have all of these cohorts doing different things there's a ZK

cohort an autonomous World cohort and we're streaming to all of these folks Within These cohorts small amounts of eth kind of like developer Ubi and it's sort of like you turn in what you're working on withdraw some eth and we kind of support you to continue your Learning Journey awesome and what do you want to see coming out of each Prague I I am personally so excited about the autonomous worlds games so like maybe somewhere with the combination of l2s and zero knowledge something really fun is gonna I mean lots of something really funds are going to come out of it but I'm really excited to see people build games that use ZK or maybe it's not even

a game but a new type of game that uses ZK and l2s have you had chance to talk into hackers or not yet yeah I'm wandering around but I haven't like sat down and done any like real hacker talk yet I I just flew in and I'm just barely bouncing around so uh not yet that's great uh have you tried what's your favorite meal that you tried and check that it was like traditional like like sausages like like sausages and potatoes is that traditional I think it's like yeah wait what's your favorite um I guess you need to use like my personal favorite okay yeah um I mean how many pints of beer you had

um like in one night probably like 11 or 12. okay but we are coming from Colorado you know so it's like we are used to that yeah um great last question um what are your like solar punk in ethereum what they're thinking about oh yeah no I love The Vibes yeah I think that like uh someone was joking yesterday about how the parallel nepolis is painted all black and it should have half black half like rainbows and unicorns right I think that that Vibe is is a Cool vibe and I think that we as an ecosystem are nurturing that that cool solar Punk Vibe and the the region Vibes so I'm all about that I I think I hope that a lot of the stuff that I'm

building is leading toward a more like regen kind of economy within our our little develop software community awesome thank you everybody for tuning in um thank you everybody for paying attention to these interviews and I hope that you guys are enjoying it Prague as well as tuning in online thank you [Music] thank you
