Hi everyone, nice to meet you. I'm Juan Jose. I'm CEO of Beirut. Well, I want to start with one simple question. Who you think is going to be the next billion users of blockchain? Probably not humans. Well, if you think about it, humans are part of the economy, right? But there is a economy that is under development right now that is only being built for machines. And that's what we call the machine economy. Basically, machines doing business with other machines. And that's why AI agents are taking over.

they are uh turning up a very big volume right now but they need an infrastructure that is being capable of supporting all this load. So I present you Beirut. Uh Beirut is a parallel EVM blockchain is AI native L1 blockchain designed to support the the machine economy. Okay, we have some charts here. There is a very big market underway. Uh the global AI market is getting big and bigger. For 2030, you can calculate that

there is an estimated 7.5 7.5 trillion dollars on this market. Even if we capture just 1% of it, uh the turnover of the blockchain could be very massive. But there is right now a trust crisis. There's a trust crisis because machines doing business with other machines, they can also make mistakes. So there is no way to verify and set and verify those transactions and get a settlement of those transactions.

So you can just automate you can you you can let the machines work with other machines you can program it you can automate it but you cannot trust it can you trust it right now that's why they need blockchain and birut is the perfect combination that merge the blockchain word with the AI word you can see that uh there has been a surge in the security incidents since the as uh recent years. So we solve we we just made a solution for this. Uh that's what we call the layer or execution for AI. We give the

AI the possibility to execute those transactions user a blockchain. Okay. So I've explained it the trust AI execution layer. It is just something that we overcome for the problem that comes from the impossible triangle. It is that there is a parallel architecture and a native AI that unlock the impossible triangle uh problem. Here are some uh complex diagram that covers the technology behind our blockchain.

But I don't want to be very technical about this. uh I would just want you to grab this simple idea and it is that machines need to transact with other machines. Uh they will need to some special features. They will need to have the identity. They will need to identify themselves when they speak and talk with other machines. They will need a way to pay for the services. For example, you are just sleeping at 3:00 a.m. and some machine decides that it needs GPU or computing power. The machine itself takes the decision uh search for the service and pays for

it by himself. All that without human intervention. But that doesn't happen at human time. That doesn't happen at human speed. that happens at thousands of uh seconds faster than the human can do can can do it. So white bur is the better choice. Uh you can compare with the traditional blockchains. Um you can also have our metrics you can take a look and you will find that we are we we have a better performance on many other fields like the processing performance the confirmation speed uh the AI native support we are EVM compatible so

Ethereum developers can actually deploy their uh developments under our blockchain uh we have some performance and improvements of the calling cost uh and the trust an audit feature. Well, here comes something very interesting and it is that there is like uh a problem in the industry on computation. The computation monopoly it's quite an issue because it doesn't have the innovative process to take over.

Why? Because of the cost. So we bring the possibility to deploy a decentralized computing uh network. So users can join the network uh the decentralized network and take uh take part of the give a usage to the global eo GPUs that are not being used and they actually can rent it uh they can provide a service for for this. So it's just this is just more than saving money. This is uh a paradm shift.

Okay. So the trigger point for uh this big market is that at least just 1% of of this market can can bring a very big revenue for for this uh technology. Okay. So I would I will give some details about our road map. Uh currently block bir can processed uh has processed more than three and a half million transactions. There are more than 300,000 active addresses already on test net and we already reached that uh we already uh reach uh 44,000 TPS uh on test net and we hope to reach 100,000

TPS on mainet that I know that's an ambition goal. That's amition goal but it's not just about speed. Machines need a speed and they need other features as I told you. They need a way to ver identify themselves to verify themselves to pie by themselves and to set up transactions by themselves. So we have the speed, we have the features, we have the products that are the systems that they will need to transact with other machines and all this will be happen on Bbridge.

There's a big team working on this. That's me included. We are we are trying to build a very big ecosystem. There is more than 90 partners and ecosystem partners already working with our test net. So they are trying our infrastructure before guns made it. Well I want to close with an idea. Uh is that history doesn't repeat itself but it often writes. There are some similarities on how projects start or how they uh end up how they have different stages.

Uh I want you to just make a quick comparison for example with Solana. Uh they started just like us and they have come a very long road. So we think that there is a very promising future for this market and for this project and it's going to be a very good projection for it. Okay, just want I want you to grasp this idea. When you send messages through your phone, you don't really know about the service droing the messages about the IP or TCP protocols. You just use it. So this makes like the

infrastructure behind it is quite of invisible and that's our goal. We hope to the machines can trust the blockchain. They don't need to understand it. They just need to trust it and be capable of using it. So once this point is reached I think there's going to be a very wide use wide worldwide usage so I invited you to all of you to join hands with beer root to deploy your systems you can develop you can be part of the community you can be part of pred intelligent future well I think that's

all for today I appreciate your attention Thank you so much.
