Transcript

what's up friends welcome to web3 academy a place for entrepreneurs creators and marketers to explore and learn how to use web 3 to transform business models and create thriving communities enjoy this next episode [Music] gmgm what's up web 3 doers it's web3 academy the weekly roll up we got a big one today as always i'm jay hamilton here with my co-host kyle rehead what is up kai what is going on my friends we got a big one today and i'm excited to have a lot of things to talk about that are not related to the markets uh so close your your trading view charts we're not talking anything about markets today i'm

excited it's it's building season baby it's time to focus on getting down to the real work nobody needs to sit and looks at charts anymore it'll just depress you more and more although it's nice to see the markets stabling out uh so as always we like to start with a little gratitude share our uh appreciation for life and everything that we have kyle why don't you go first what are you grateful for today i am grateful for jay hamilton and sam soon to be hamilton uh tomorrow is jay and sam's engagement party i'm heading to toronto actually today not too long after we record this uh and to

cj uh and uh they're gonna have this beautiful engagement party at their parents house and i'm just i'm super excited uh to see you i don't remember last time i've seen you jay in person that's true but for that this event and for your guys love and everything you're sharing so i'm grateful for you too thanks man man getting married is a ton of fun this is a lot of work though planning these parties geez like and and that's a lot of expectations you got you got parents expectations to manage everybody's got an opinion and i got yeah it's uh it's but it's it is so much fun to uh everybody's so excited and there's so many opportunities to bring your your friends and family together which is uh

just the most important thing in the world so excited to see you too man yeah you're right we haven't seen each other in a while i feel like we should like film a uh a like slow motion run and hug towards each other ryan and david from bankless that's what i was thinking yeah what about you i i am grateful for the people in web 3. i was just at nftnyc last week we have a super active discord at web3 academy i'm probably on four to five calls a week with builders and people in

the space and i've never found such a friendly business space you know air quotes business space everybody in web 3 is so friendly and so nice and there's there's not that competition that you get from a lot of older industries and older businesses instead everybody just wants to work together and there's this incredible culture of do good and make the world a better place and and i think that you know crypto and i mean nfts quite frankly in the whole space often gets

categorized by the media as uh scammers and everybody's just out for the money uh but when you're here and you're in it day to day man it is the coolest people that just want to do great things in the world to make the world a better place using this technology and it's it's amazing it really it really blows my mind how friendly and nice and positive everybody in this space is so shout out to all of you how long do you think that lasts for it's a new industry so i feel like that's why i want to believe it's the web through ethos like this sticks for forever i just i'm sorry i'm a realist and uh i

just i don't think it does i think once we get accepted this is my guess anyways once like web 3 becomes like norm and mainstream it gets competitive as hell uh but i don't know we'll see i hope not i hope we can keep these vibes i mean it's on us right it's on the people that are listening to this podcast that are in the space now because we are the first i don't know a few million that are a part of this and we are the ones that get to choose kind of where the space goes but um i feel like humans are humans and uh it's just the way that it always works i think i think we've i think we've got we've got runway we've got right yeah you know at what point are we gonna get to a billion users right like is that

the point at which like i don't know the exact you know measurement of when that will happen but i would say we've got we've got time we've got here's our mission jay let's try to achieve all the things we want to with web3 academy before this industry starts to shift the bed and then we can like do our thing make our mark make our impact and then we can get out before everyone starts to get angry but we got to stay in and be the people that are the the positive side the collaborative side because man like it's so fun to be able to meet somebody on zoom or in discord or in person at a conference and feel like you can openly share anything with them you can talk

about your idea you're not worried about them stealing it and you can also talk about working together without that like first thing question that's always there which is like well how much money are you going to pay me what's in it for me right instead it's like you can remove that what's in it for me question or need and instead it's just like yeah let's jam let's build let's let's play let's do something like you know it's like two kids meeting on a beach and then all of a sudden you build this dope sand castle just because it's fun right right right it's all just builds that's actually together i love that and actually two people from what you're academy discord uh our community reached out this week to say that like hey i want to help web3 academy they're now part of the this kind of insider's

crew where we're helping to take web through academy the next level which we'll talk about probably not in this episode but maybe next week um and uh and both of them said look we don't even care if this makes money or when it does or whatever we just want to build and do something cool and i think that's amazing but on that note before we get in we kind of got off topic today guys we got a lot of cool things to talk about we got a new phone a web 3 phone coming out with solana so we got to talk about that the norwegian government is using ethereum so that's super cool doodles too uh it's shipping season there's so many new launches and we're gonna talk about a bunch of new tools and protocols and things which is really exciting and then a lot of big web two names are

moving over to web three uh and so we're gonna share some of those as well and then we have our web three tool of the month so lots of really cool stuff happening um on this show today i'm excited thanks for bringing us back to the summary of the show okay i skipped that one you got me you got me see they got collaborative supporting each other kai as as always i ask you every week what is the web 3 word of the week and the web 3 word of the week is ship we are shipping it's shipping season as you said at the beginning um i got a feeling that the next like three to six months i mean honestly probably much longer than that but i think it's starting now is like everyone over the last year has been building right we got

so much funding last year and it takes a while to ship your first product um and i think we're starting to i mean this last week there's so many new things that came out and so many announcements of things coming up soon i think we're entering this this space or the season where just like every week there's going to be new protocols new apps new tools new features instead of like last year it was like new nft projects and new tokens but with nothing behind any of it now i think it's tools and protocols and apps and that's super exciting one because that's what we like to talk about um but two that's what's gonna build the foundation of this industry um and so i hope that's the season we're in but it looks that way which to me is super exciting i think the other thing that's really

really exciting is it is a great time to ship which i think a lot of people might not see it that way they might say oh markets are down it's a bad time to ship you know we're not going to get the the revenue or the boost that we're expecting off the hop but if you ship right now you're shipping to the real believers the people in the space that are excited to test excited to try your product and that is the best time to ship as opposed to shipping at a point when like you know in a bull market you know you ship you're gonna get a lot of speculation involved right you're gonna get a lot of people who are just jumping in and jumping out and that's not what you need in the beginning you need the feedback you need that test loop so great time to

ship it's not about shipping tokens it's about shipping products right now right ship some damn products people uh because that's what we need we don't need more tokens we need products services all these things hell yeah quote that we don't need more tokens we need more products well said right we'll tweet that all right starting us off this week our boy kevin hart kevin hart for real 36 36 million followers kevin hart huge huge kevin hart is going down the web 3 rabbit hole he's jumping in if kevin hart is jumping in everybody should be jumping in he's

definitely going to push a lot of his 36 million followers many of whom i'm sure have not gone down the rabbit hole into the space which is really exciting because we need more people to go down the rabbit hole he also announced that he's got a discord that he's launching yeah and he's launching a metaverse uh or he's building a metaverse i don't think he's launching attempts soon but yeah this is basically what he said it's funny says i've been building in web three come join the discord yeah i don't know what you're talking about but uh i mean look he's got 36 million followers on twitter he's a mega star and if he's building a web 3 this is going to be really good for the space cool to see him launch a discord um but if you need help going down the web

through rabbit hole which kevin hart probably does and so kevin if you're listening to this i'm a big fan of yours um some of your movies are kind of weak i'm not gonna lie but you're getting better but your comedy is awesome uh but uh we just launched kevin the web three rabbit hole course and this is a free course okay um and anyone who is a subscriber to our newsletter or has signed up on our site which you can do at web w3 academy dot io you just go there sign up for the newsletter whatever if you're already signed up you already have an account you can just go and take this course it's free it takes you about an hour and a half uh maybe two hours and basically it will get you up to speed on all the foundational components of web3 so you can confidently build

work or use um web3 uh and basically what it covers is you know what is the space like what are the foundational changes to the internet if you want to scroll down a little bit jay it talks about the current state of web through infrastructure so not like super technical on blockchains but it does kind of give you a a deep um understanding kind of high level of what you need to know about this stuff and kind of where you want to be building and looking and just try to understand it and then we look at the future of web3 so the application layer how the adoption is going to emerge in the ux and things like that and then i give you some final steps at the end of like um you know how to keep going down the rabbit hole and some action steps so

here's some things that you can do anyone who completes this gets to uh mint their own nft it's a non-transferable nft um we've got it up on the screen here jay is showing on openc but it's basically a proof of completion and so you can certify that you completed the course there will be added bonuses and benefits for those who do have this whether that be in web through academy and or from the outside web3 ecosystem that's one of the cool things about nfts is they are interoperable with others and other protocols so yeah go check it out it's free just go to w3academy.io and either sign up for the newsletter or there's a rabbit hole landing page and you can sign up there it'll get you the newsletter and get you access to the course immediately

and kai who would you say this course is for yeah good question so it's not your basic intro um though it is it is like explained and taught in a simple way it's not you're like here's how to get a metamask wallet type thing um and it is like it is a deep understanding of what this space is what it means for the internet and where it's going and so really it's if you're an entrepreneur if you are a business that's trying to understand what to do in this space or like what's happening and where this how this might disrupt your industry especially if you're in in an industry that has a lot of intermediaries and and third parties and middlemen then definitely for you it's for creators so you can understand where you should be

creating and what you should be doing um and really anyone who's looking to get a job in this space i think is this is really the ideal course if you understand what's taught in this course um you can go in and probably have a better understanding than most people even in the space so it's a wide range um but it's sort of like anyone who wants to go down the web through rabbit hole it's confusing as hell out there right like twitter everyone's debating youtube is all a bunch of lies everyone's chilling their bags um google doesn't really help you that much this is sort of like from being down the rabbit hole for many years i wanted to just make sure everyone's on the same page of the foundational stuff that you kind of need to know um so yeah check it out and then

also in our discord there is a rabbit hole channel where you can go you can ask questions there's already people that have taken it even though it's just launched i mean this is the first time i think we're announcing it but people already got in it is [Laughter] anyway check it out it's cool let me know what you think yeah this was one of my biggest takeaways from nftnyc was we all need to take a pause and learn the tech we need to learn the foundations of blockchain and the technology that a lot is allowing us to build web3 right to build this digital ownership to do

nft projects to build cryptocurrencies to build dows but so many of us and this is why i think this course is so important for i think everyone in this space right like i think right from beginner to expert this is like this is the foundational lecture series of what you the philosophies and the base layer of the technology that you need to understand in order to then go build and do in the space not to invest not to buy but to like do and build does kind of help with that too but it helps

you wean out the crap like you can easily after you take this you kind of like can just go ah no that doesn't fit what web3 is really doing it i think it just helps you kind of understand that which is nice well links will be in the show notes jump into the course hit us up with any feedback really really excited to watch this it's it's free as we said before everything went through academy is free because we're just trying to build and grow and be part of the space with you guys so uh yeah really really stoked about that let's get into the news kai one day we are going to charge for something though right jay yeah are we gonna build a business i would assume so but we're gonna we're gonna i mean we are we're building a business

the freeway right now yeah it's a ton of time but you know we'll charge for something so we can build continue to build the community and continue to grow um so get it well get this stuff while it's hot well it's free everyone all right so this is my favorite tweet i think i saw this week from ryan salkis and he just says my thoughts on crypto market in one slide uh and the title of the slide is despite setbacks crypto is inevitable and it breaks down um six different uh i guess categories of of crypto here um but it also says what is this talent thousands of new hires so over the last year we've had thousands of new hires into the space capital tens of billions of dollars came into space um and ultimately it's creating a generational change and the six things

that they've kind of utility i guess or innovations already that have happened is one bitcoin it's legal tender for emerging economies and they have the um el salvador and the what is that country in central africa something it's called i can't remember but i don't remember but anyway it's a country in africa sorry i don't know the name of it if someone wants to tell me that would be amazing um so we're already seeing legal tender bitcoin stable coins the settlement volumes are already rivaling the incumbents and they have pictures of like visa and that um so that's pretty huge stable coins has been probably the killer app of this space so far and will continue to be especially once we get more regulation there um computing so web3 computing pro protocols re-decentralize the internet the internet was once fairly decentralized

when it was first built web 2 kind of screwed that up web 3 is rebuilding and that's using things like ethereum and solana and avalanche and even other things like filecoin et cetera d5 the d5 market cap is less than one percent of banks and yet it yields higher and safer yields than what banks do um and i say safer uh and i mean that for only some d5 protocols not all obviously um but some of the examples i have here is uniswap ave maker dao that's yearn or synthetics and i don't know compound compound nfts nfcs offer 10x creator incentives and user ip rights i mean it's just amazing what nfts are doing and across every industry uh and so they have the nba's getting involved in the sotheby's they

show crypto punks sport at yacht club sandbox and i don't know that last logo uh and then the final one is dows dallas can scale entities at internet speed and i think that's just a great way to explain and how scaling at internet speed it's really really cool um so just yeah a lot of really cool unlocks that happen from that original bull run there uh and i just think we're gonna see so much more happening um over the over the coming years so really cool uh image next up uh this is pretty big so european nation is embracing public ethereum and that's the norwegian government and what they announced that they are releasing a solution on the public ethereum blockchain um which is a cap tables platform for unlisted companies um uh and they're doing this

on a layer two on arbitrum um so uh been saying where are the big companies where the nation's going to build on they're not gonna build on these like fast uh l ones they're gonna build on the future uh if you go into the rabbit hole course you will learn and the norwegian government building cap tables i had no idea what a cap table was uh so i had to google that before the show but basically it is what's a cap table right so it's like who's the uh shareholders and stuff of a company uh i guess it's for private companies so like you can't really we don't really have that um so who are the shareholders and so you can put that in the public blockchain uh and now you um can see who are the owners of a company and i assume

if it's nfts which is uh yeah they're going to build us nfts um it will eventually move into a way of you could um you know buy and sell uh these shares as well i would assume but we'll see how they how that goes but just cool that they're already starting to build on there and um and they're doing a layer two of ethereum which is pretty sick that's all i gotta say and i love i love just like to point it out even though we pointed out before why why use the layer two of ethereum and they say it right here it's faster and cheaper to transact than ethereum but still gets the full security of ethereum so it's so simple that it's right in front of all of us but for some reason we're slow to grab it but we'll get there

so some there's been some beef going on actually with the sec for a long time in this space uh and particularly with grayscale so grayscale has been trying to move there i don't even know what it's called et something basically it's an investment tool that you can get on like your uh you know your pcs it's not an etf though um it is a et something that they want to basically transition it into an etf because right now it's at this extreme discount and they've been trying to switch it into the spot etf which of course the sec has continued to deny and they just denied yesterday this transition into a spot etf so we can continue to only have a um

what's the non-spot version um futures etf i believe uh which is a bunch of it means there's a bunch of middlemen in there making a bunch of money off retail if we just had a spot etf it would be so much better sec won't pass that which is ridiculous and so grayscale is suing uh the sec so we have a company that is now in a lawsuit they did it yesterday they initiated it yesterday against the sec which is freaking awesome uh and i'm rooting for grayscale because um scc you suck well and also like this is how regulation happens right like the way regulation happens is through the court system usually like i mean it happens when you know senators and bring bills and pass those and they

take those through the process but that takes years the best way for regulation to happen is when like a a new case goes to the court system this is going to be the sec against somebody and it's going to force decisions to be made and precedent to be set which is really a great thing so shout out to the uh um what do you call somebody that's like uh the balls on uh here and grayscale for for taking the lead on this because this is exactly what we need somebody to yeah not be afraid to step up and take on a challenge and it's gonna be good for everybody right and if you're watching on youtube this is the smug face of the guy that runs the sec gary gensler uh and uh who's actually

like used to teach um he used to teach about blockchain at was at mit or harvard or whatever wherever he went uh but anyway he um was on the news the other day and uh with um with jim cramer and he basically said that bitcoin is a commodity which i mean it's already considered this so i don't know why he's always causing this fun or whatever and he did say a bunch of people took this wrong on twitter so if you saw these tweets of like uh gary gensler and scc say that only bitcoin is a commodity that's just a bunch of bitcoin maxies changing the words what he said is that bitcoin is a commodity and there are actually many others however i don't want to name any of them um just because we already knew that bitcoin was we know ethereum is

considered one as well right now or eth um but he actually said there are others so it was actually a more bullish statement not just bitcoin but all the maxies out there went and changed his words was super annoying but whatever um so that's kind of interesting um which is weird he won't he won't say it like he just like continues to want to like toy with this industry um he's a joke i'll be honest gary gensler if you listen to this kevin hart i know you're listening still too um as you're going down the rabbit hole keep an eye on this guy gary gensler the guy's a joke can you see him at any of your rich parties um let him know that watch out get him kevin so so a lot of labs is building a web 3 mobile phone this is huge news really

exciting to see uh the phone is going to be called the saga and it's an android handset that will be built by the blockchain stakeholders uh so really exciting to see but what kai like what is what does this mean what what's well i think a lot of people are missing the point of the fact that they're releasing this phone which they're saying is going to cost a thousand dollars yeah a thousand dollars and i mean i'm sure the phone is going to take a while to release it's going to be a thing that comes out right away but there's sort of two two like new um i don't know if they're called breakthrough technology or not i don't really understand what it is but basically they're launching something called x nfts which we'll talk about and watching something else called sms which

is not a text message but a tech stack so i'm going to read out this thread because this robin cordini did a great job of this uh kind of explaining what's going on here um so people talking about solana releasing this thousand dollar phone and having to take on apple and samsung are missing the point here's what's going on currently applications that use web3 or dapps are largely browser-based so this might be adapt for buying and selling nfts or letting coins you know all the things that that we typically do um but they are browser-based and interact with a wallet such as phantom or metamask or whatever else being browser-based and having to make the user interact with the wallet massively limits the user experience compare this to experience to that of native apps on an android phone or iphone

so basically what he's saying is like when you go to an app right now um you've got to connect your wall in and sign some stuff on your wall whatever but when you go to like let's say your i don't know whatever app your facebook app just signs you right in you're automatically there because it's just native to your phone right but our adapts are not and so to improve this experience and allow web3 to start to compare to that of native apps solana is taking a two-pronged approach first to allow dapps to run inside a wallet such as phantom these are the xnfts this allows improved ui on existing phones so basically the application is an nft itself and they're calling this xnfts um second and i guess this this xnft is a way to sort of decentralize the application on

a further like tech level second to build solana mobile stack this is the sms which essentially makes the wallet into a layer of the phone operating system and allows dapps to run natively just as phone apps these can be downloaded from a dapp store so rather than web3 with sona mobile solana has essentially created a new layer to the operating system and an apps app store like 2.0 with dapps that can be downloaded natively and do not need a separate wallet to interact with as the seed phrase and all that is built right into the phone and the applications the issue with releasing sms on its own is that solana then needs to convince a separate company to make phones utilizing it simply to be able to show

off the new user experience of native apps hence the reveal of a phone and if you're revealing a phone to showcase new dapps it needs to be able to play the latest you know play during games and be a phone people are proud to own and develop for like you can't just people aren't just going to buy a phone because they can do some web 3 stuff and they're like this is the most important thing that we all use every single day right um so this is the hail effect that tesla and companies use when they release high-end products first so basically what's happening here is one of the reasons is actually really important is um the applica the the app stores right now are kind of um gating crypto this is a reason why web3 is not really mobile friendly is because a lot anything that

has to do with tokens app store which is from apple and the google store don't really allow it like openc is an app now but you can't do any trading or anything on it there's a lot of mobile um sorry uh play to earn games web 3 games that can't be on mobile because it involves tokens so they're sort of gating that and that's a problem and so eventually i think they will come around but solana's saying screw that let's just build our own sort of thing and they're really focused on user experience here if you've ever like used the browser inside of your metamask your coinbase wallet that's sort of what's happening so like you can go and use you know lens protocol and unit swap and all that right in the browser of metamask on your phone and then you don't really need to connect

because just auto sort of connects in um it doesn't have to take you out of the app to then go and connect you can click the button on metamask and then bring you back it's sort of in there but it's still browser based it's not native to the uh to the phone and so that's sort of what salon is trying to unlock here um how far out are they this i have no idea they just announced it this week um but definitely like this is where the space is going for sure it will not be these like separate you know internet kind of thing which i was actually explaining web 3 to my mom um i think earlier this week or on the weekend and after i was done explaining everything um she was basically so like is this like a new internet like how do i get to

web 3 kind of thing and i was like no no like you won't even really know it'll just be you'll just be using it you won't even really realize it's like oh okay it's really funny but that's really what salon is trying to do here with this um and uh yeah really really cool i think this is kind of the future of where we're going and it'll be interesting to see this this all play out and i think it's really interesting uh brings up an interesting conversation around the need of hardware as well as the need of the software that we're building right and so you know really the reason solana is doing this is because they need this hardware in order to show off this this software and the potential of dabs and that just isn't possible currently

because as you said the two largest players in mobile right now are getting all of the daps and not allowing it drives me insane that i cannot trade buy sell my nfts on the openc app like it is ridiculous why i can't do that right so uh yeah i think it's i mean disruption 101 here you know and shout out to solana like going all in building building a phone building the hardware and then in order to show off the software and i think this puts pressure here's the other thing like maybe this doesn't work out and no one cares on a phone but it puts pressure on on apple and gets pressure on google and as soon as they feel that pressure that pressure they're gonna go all right let's start allowing people to use web3 on our phone right let's be website friendly so

um yeah cool but i think i think this will i think this will still win in a way because the one thing that i don't think that the app store or google play are going to change is their take great and if they don't change their take rate then then they're not really supporting web 3 in the way that we've talked about you know one of the biggest things that we said earlier on uh in this six disruptions that aren't going to change is the opportunity for creators to make ten times what they currently make so uh you know i think that there is there is a long term play here maybe not for the masses uh but for for that that early adopter group of web3 that

like really do care about the creators making more and you know apple store taking 30 of the apps that they sell like that's a crazy tape take right so just says screw it we're gonna build our own phone love it that's the founder of salad speaking about gangsters great transition gta gta 6 to include a cryptocurrency reward system question mark this is not uh this is not for sure we have no idea it just was kind of some rumors going around but i was looking into it of why i i mean did you play gta when you were younger jay oh yeah yeah yeah yeah played for like 12 hours straight one time i think

just got sucked in yeah grand theft auto is the game we're talking about here and it's basically a game where you get to roam around different cities and um and do like missions or you can you don't even have to do missions you can literally just go and run people over and steal people's cars and get chased by the cops whatever but kick-ass game when i was young i loved it and um but what i saw here was that in gta 5 so the last one that came out which was many years ago i'm surprised how long it's been um but they actually started building in a uh a stock exchange and um and i i can't remember it's gta 5 where you could actually use it or it's just in there basically what they were talking about is that um they have this sort of like stock exchange in

there where you could start to invest in companies and then you could go and do missions to help these companies that you were investing in or you could blow up these companies and things like that which is kind of interesting right um and so i mean immediately you're like oh well if they just made those things nfts or you know tokens like that's really cool there's also the whole idea of like you earn money and stuff and you buy things like clothes and things like there is no better game i think um to embrace web3 than grand theft auto you can see everything you can have tokens for currencies and stock exchange and you can do so much this would be so cool um so anyway uh the reason why this leak is coming out is that i think what they are doing is

allowing you to buy things with bitcoin inside the game is one of the things and then there's potential to create their own um cryptocurrency uh i don't know if they even their own cryptocurrency in there uh and then potentially something with this um with this whole stock market that's inside of the game so again it's it's just a leak so i have no idea if it's true don't take this as gospel um but man this would be the perfect game to do it um i would buy this game and i'd probably stop i think this would be the end of webthere academy he just you just go see you later deep into the gta metaverse and i'm not a gamer by the way but i used to be when i was young

hey but you know maybe if this all happens you know talk about play to earn like the potential of this i i do think is is huge and it's just so natural because gta is a game that feels somewhat similar to the real world right uh so yeah it'll be let's do it let's go gta if you listen to this please please please go for it so down sick okay nfts what's going on in the world of nfts over the last week tons of news because of nftnyc last week lots to talk about there uh first i just wanted to talk about i've got this chart up of uh from trek x on twitter a great guy to follow that does

a weekly recap of the nft markets and he highlighted that last week was the lowest volume week in 2022 yet which was interesting to see i mean not a surprise given the bear market that we're in but interesting to see given that nft nyc was happening now despite it being the lowest volume week most of the blue chip nfts all saw about a 25 to 30 percent boost last week off the backs of nft nyc and all the announcements that came out of that which was super exciting volumes are also down because eath is like you know half price kind of thing for what it was at the beginning well way less than half price but it was the

beginning of the year so makes volumes obviously cut a lot but yeah it's a good point so speaking of let's just chat about some of the activations some of the things that came out at nft nyc last week uh i would say the coolest activation um was cool topia which is cool cats project so this was awesome sam and i went to it and everybody i spoke to there was really impressed with what they did here basically they took a 30 000 square foot uh like warehouse space fully branded it branded it out and turned it into like a

like a a gaming almost like a palladium or like a carnival experience art like it was it was unbelievable you walked in you got a rfid bracelet and then you could walk around and play different games and you with your bracelet would tap things and you would get points and at the end you could turn your points in for merch uh so gamifying that and then it was just like just really great to see these nft brands taking their brand into the real world and really showing the potential of like

where these brands can go and it is just the beginning the other thing about the cool cats experience a lot of the nft events at nft nyc were gated to token holders only whereas this cool cats one was open to the public so also a great onboarding ramp of like you're having i saw you know kids where with their parents there you've got people that are you know jumping in and just you know oh this is a cool thing to do on a weekend great let's go check it out uh really really impressive the other funny thing i've got to mention is um the brand of cool cats is just nailing it right now they had a milk bar because obviously cats drink milk so you could go to the milk

bar and grab a glass of milk they were serving other uh other drinks as well but uh just going to the milk bar and grabbing a glass of milk was uh hilarious to me so uh yeah shout out to cool cats well well done on this uh really exciting to see um yeah what's happening and i think yeah like i said this is just the start and it's a real realization you know a lot of people talk about like you know what are these jpeg projects what are the nfts really doing um well they're not just building these jpegs and these digital products they're also building in real in real life brands which is like t-shirts and toys uh cool cats announced that they were launching a toy last week as well it's just so

much happening that i think has the yeah just as massive potential as you know they're not nft projects they're businesses and very large businesses of that yeah it's exciting to see which nft projects are going to make it through to the uh make it through the bear market here and so another big one i mean we also had boarded yacht club obviously ran eight fest the same time as nft nyc and so um another big in real life event that was going on they were in a full-on festival i think like eminem was there and snoop dogg yeah eminem was our snoop dogg was there eminem and snoop dogg launched a video uh a music video with their board apes uh yeah like tons of things are happening tons of stuff happening lots of

influencers yeah it's uh so doodles also made some announcements at the uh nftnyc as well one um they did their first fundraise and uh they did it with the creator and founder of reddit um which is super cool alex alexis oceanian said he says ohani uh ohanian ohanian okay yeah so that's cool um but the other announcement which is even cooler is that pharrell williams joins their team as the member as a board member and chief brand officer um i couldn't think of a better person to be a brand officer for an nft that's sick um pharrell uh big fan so that's cool and then

they also uh announced doodles too so this is kind of cool so basically a doodle for everyone they can uh mint a base level doodle you get to choose it's like a dynamic nft so you get to choose your generic traits you get to choose your skin tone your hair color and customize your doodle with wearables um and uh depending on what you buy there's different tiers and things like that um but yeah super cool um let me see what else doodles too a dynamic mt where you can change your look is often yeah you can change as often as you like so it's not like you make it you mint it and that's it you can continue to change it um and you can get the full body one or you can get the pfp version um and you can put music behind it too so

it's kind of incorporating everything but uh super cool i love it um and then it looks like they're gonna have some utility beyond it i just don't know exactly what that is uh and they're gonna have other wearables and things so are they gonna create a game next i don't know they haven't really said what comes from this but um just a lot of branding and uh a lot of ip they're creating here that you can do some cool stuff with and i think one thing that comes up a lot is digital identity right uh that's a you know we talked about digital identity uh on a podcast that we recorded earlier this week with uh evan mcmullen who's the founder of disco xyz that podcast will be coming out next week check that out we weren't talking about pfps and nft projects uh we were talking about sorry

two weeks from now we were talking about uh more the um the tech layer of digital identity but what what mft projects are doing with digital identity is they are giving you this profile picture or this avatar that you may use in the metaverse in the future and i think that we haven't really tapped into the potential of that right like i think we're seeing it in crypto twitter where if you float around crypto twitter the majority of the profile pictures are some some some mnft project and doodles realizes this doodles realizes that people want

to have fun with their digital identity and so they're creating doodles too so that you can create your profile picture in a you know cute colorful fun way that represents you and it's dynamic you can change it you can make it who you are and that's that's a really big really big part of the digital identity layer of web 3 that i think that is really it's a big onboarding ramp that a lot of people are going to get excited about as because right now and doodle's talked about this as well one of the big issues is yeah a doodle is one the floor is like 13 east right it's like that's not accessible if you want a doodles as your profile picture like you

spend 20 000 to get that as your profile picture um like no most people aren't going to do that so i wish that this is also worth what's that i said i wish that's what 13 was worth right now yeah my math was probably a bit off i was probably doing 20 dollars okay on american dollars um but yeah i think that like that's that's another big part of these projects uh is is figuring they're all trying to figure out ways to open up more access to a wider market and i've also just got a shout out doodles because their branding is so unbelievable and appealing to i think what i believe is the widest audience out of all the nft blue ship projects

times square coming to the metaverse so uh this is this is cool so basically um times square is building a metaverse in sandbox it'll be a virtual hub for art and commerce pause for a second time time square it sounds like you're saying times square in new york you mean time time yeah yeah sorry sorry we're bringing but they're creating a time square so like what you see in new york city they're creating that in the metaverse right um but yes it is by time uh but is essentially a virtual hub for art and commerce curated by time pieces which i think are an nft collection that time launched i think last year they did this um so yeah they're building the the times square uh

inside the sandbox so that's cool i guess yeah i think that like time has been a real leader from the media side of just jumping and experimenting and this is what we keep saying is uh and it's ironic that this is built in sandbox but like i think we all really need to look at web3 as a sandbox right now and i don't mean sandbox the metaverse i mean a literal sandbox that you play when you're a kid because when you look at it as a sandbox then you you you tend to focus less on building the perfect thing or building the right thing you just need to jump in and like try to build a sand castle and see how it goes and maybe it doesn't work but you learned because you tried and then the next one you build is even

different and better and time has really shown that by jumping in but and just by participating they have they've created a large following they've grown a ton in the nft space and now going in the metaverse space uh yeah kudos you don't need you don't necessarily need a strategy just just get in there and just play just do all right next up we have our boy brad or bradley from lens protocol uh and great tweet and i actually didn't realize this either but his tweet is people don't yet realize that at lens protocol it makes the process of creating and minting a collection of nfts just about as easy as posting a tweet right select your collect rules upload the artwork post and monetize your content

immediately um and that's really cool because if you ever tried to minton nft i mean it's not the easiest process in the world but again sort of lens is building that layer above that makes it that much easier where you don't need any code and like he said it's about as easy as doing a tweet so that's pretty cool and this is a new i don't think it's launched yet a new application coming to lens protocol so speaking of lens uh but this is um basically like a linkedin that is being built on top of the lens protocol social graph so you would use your lens profile uh and again why create a different profile for instagram and for your

linkedin account just create one but maybe what you can do is share certain attributes of your profile depending on the application you're using or the application that someone's coming in and so now you can have your linkedin version where you can get jobs and get your references and all that kind of stuff and then you can do your you know your fun stuff over in leinster um so that's cool this is called orb i believe is the name of it yeah or so um yeah one of the cool new apps coming to coming to lens another cool project coming out uh because it's shipping season and everyone's launching right now is astaria xyz and xtaria xyz is an nft lending protocol nfc lending is a

big thing that was talked about a lot of nft nyc there's a lot of players in the space basically trying to figure out you know you've got these nfts that are sitting in your open c they're worth you know 100 000 or even just a couple thousand dollars well can can you get yield from them can you do lending with them how does that work uh and so uh what what astaria is doing which is interesting is currently the entity lending model is a peer-to-peer model right so users you request a quote um you leave you come back uh you know it's a it's a high-touch model right like you need interaction to one which isn't scalable

what they are doing with astaria with this what they are calling the three actor model 3 am is it's a peer to pool model so an appraiser creates a term sheet that contains the collateral which is the nft details and what terms they're willing to lend such as rate duration amount and position um and then the term sheet is then merklized and the route is sent to a transaction that opens a broker vault and the broker vault acts as a pool for lenders to lenders and borrowers to access so just a a scalable model coming to nft lending energy lending is super nascent and i mean like this whole

industry so lots of things that i think that we're all just learning about and i actually haven't even don't even know anybody who's used any nft lending protocols but it's amazing to see the the the the shipping that's happening and the developments happening in the space because clearly we're going to want to lend and stake and do different things with our nfts the way you can with defying crypto the merge of d5 and nfcs i think is really cool i'm just a little bit scared we don't need any more leverage in this ecosystem yeah so uh but uh it's definitely coming and there's gonna be some cool stuff with that absolutely bueno bueno means good for anyone who doesn't know in spanish

what is bueno j bueno is a uh basically an nft generator platform so uh if you want to create an nft collection um you can use bueno it's no code and you can create a 1000 or a 10 000 pfp collection i think this is really great for the the nft projects that aren't focused on art right so if you're not a project that's focused on art if you're focused on utility uh which you know so many nft projects are right now are really just membership based right and so they're looking to create these membership based

products and you actually see a lot of nft projects where um it is a one-of-one nft but the the art is the exact same thing a thousand times or ten thousand times i'm part of a couple uh i'm part of zen academy and that is the case in that project but the thing about that is we talked about before about how important identity is and people want to show off that they're part of these communities and so you need a profile picture to do that right you know nobody's going to use uh a you know a basic nft art for these memberships where it's like it's not really art they're not going to use that as a profile picture so i think what we're going to see is a lot of these people that are creating businesses not an nft project you're

creating a business and they don't have artists on their team and they don't have the ability to you know quickly create 1000 pfps well bueno is the tool that'll allow you to do that simply and quickly i've seen some terrible some terrible art so hopefully this thing can at least create some like just decent stuff for those that don't really care too much about their nft i i i do think you're right like a lot of mt is not going to be art that's just a sub that's a subcategory of nft um so we're in launch season and there's a new one uh that was just launched so guild is this sort of like um uh role and sort of tiered um integration into discord and they've just partnered with galaxy project

galaxy hq uh and basically uh what they're allowing for or what they've just launched is the ability to issue credentials about your activities and accomplishments of things that you do let's say inside of a dow or inside of community and it gives more context to your digital identity and this can allow you to be eligible for eligible for rewards after gaining the your sort of digital reputation these rewards could be access and discord um you can use them to create roles inside of a discord and all that kind of stuff which is really cool i mean i think one of the things we're trying to figure out is our discord is getting quite busy lots of people joining of and lots of different areas some people are looking for jobs some are developers which by the way we now have a developer well we've had a

developer channel but it's quite active now because we've got a developer leader in there which is really cool we have a dev role and then um you know you might have entrepreneurs that are looking to build and so you you want to start to like segment and be able to speak specifically just to those categories of people um and so you can use credentials and things to find out who those people are uh maybe who are like the power users in your discord in your community and give them certain access or certain roles um so yeah you can do this with with guild i think there's going to be tons of projects which link and integrate into discord coming out and frank we need them because i mean we got this community and i know bunch do and we need to figure out ways to better

organize and structure them so um please people keep building a hundred percent and if anybody wants to build a better discord that would also be super good for that uh that would be great okay switching from web three launches into uh web three jobs and uh really a migration of top talent into web three what's uh who's who's moving over what who is who is the web 3 world eating today kyle well the web 3 world i mean you want to go to that one this is who's who's hiring um which we can we can do that first if you want so um there was an article that was put up like who's firing who's hiring we've talked about who's firing coinbase and and all that but those who are hiring

right now so if you're looking for a job ftx of course they're not only hiring but they're buying everything in any one in any company uh kraken is hiring like is it a thousand people or 500 this year i forget finance is the one they're hiring a thousand people open c is hiring i don't know how many but they're hiring quite a bit ever stake polygon is a beast we're going to talk about them in just a second ripple um i'm not supporting ripple i don't know anything about ripple but there's a lot of fun around ripple but i guess they're hiring which is crazy but anyway immutable which is not on that list but so lots of hiring and again if you're looking uh to get a job you can check out our job board um and it's in the show notes below uh that link in the

show notes will take you to our talent board where you can like sign up and make yourself a resume but there's also a job where you can click over to the jobs and you can see what's there um and uh and also if you're hiring you can head over to our talent pool and subscribe to it and um and you can find some some talent hopefully help you higher um but check this out this is a graph of the tech layoffs um from july of last year so looking at a full year here um we were starting at like in july of last year there was like 80 layoffs that's it i don't even know how they get that uh it's not so small but uh now just in june so this month and i guess june's not even over so whenever this came out it looks like

june 28th and it was already at 19 434 layoffs uh and it shows all the list of companies with tesla coinbase by bit um i don't know i can't even see the rest of their ibm ibm microsoft yeah all of them so we are we are steadily heading quickly not steadily quickly into a recession and uh in may we had 17 700 layoffs now we have 19 400 uh but thankfully there are still many people hiring um you just got to find the right places um and uh and yeah crazy world out there right now but hopefully that uh changes soon but if we're looking at what's happening with some of the crazy hires going on in the space i think it was last week or two weeks ago jay uh you and i talked

about um the former president of the new york stock exchange uh moved over to uniswap labs a few weeks ago so that was really cool uh we also had youtube's head of gaming that moved over to polygon well now we have the global head of product design for payments at facebook moving over to immutable it's now called immutable not immutable x so the x is gone but that's mega right global had a product design for payments moving over to facebook we also have um someone at christie's uh the name is do you remember the person's name you said it non-fungible noah is how i know him noah davis that's his that's his name he was at christie's which is like the

big um arts uh auction house uh and um and he's now working uh or just moved over to yugo labs to head up the project of the crypto punks so yooka labs obviously acquired crypto punks um many months ago i can't remember when that was and uh he's now heading that up so he leaves christie's to go to to go to yugo lab so that's pretty cool so we're just we're seeing a lot of big time talent um in the web 2 world in the old world moving over to web 3 um and that's good news good news for webster did you see how crypto punks uh pumped off of this news right pumped like went from like 50 to like 78 but then there's some people that did some

research and realized that a lot of that pump happened a lot of people bought before this news was announced and there was like speculation of insider trading and you know not to not to share fud but but what's amazing about this is because of blockchain you can see it all it's all public and transparent uh which is a great thing so people will be held accountable for their actions i would love to get a crypto punk someday one day set the goal that's the goal all right so under the ones and twos uh some lots of action happening here as we said it's shipping season and i'll tell you who's shipping the most right now is freaking polygon these guys have been building and shipping like crazy um and so polygon ships a zk evm uh within the

next month so i think it's happening on july 19th and so basically this is um a zk is zero knowledge proofs and so it's essentially a layer two it's a roll up that is evm compatible that's the key thing meaning that whatever you have on ethereum you can just merge that right over to this like this like it's very easy very simple so all the apps can easily move what i'm told here is that um this you can think of this kind of like optimism where it's a um what's the word that i'm looking for where like you can build many apps so there's two different layer twos that you could think of there's one that's like app specific where it's a chain just for an app there's one that's sort of like global and you can put a bunch of apps on top of it like optimism and

arbitrary that's what this is um and um but it's it's in zk form and supposedly when they launch on the 19th they're launching it with i've heard rumors of uniswap and i believe maker dao uh i think it was maker dow dab it was ave and some of the blue chips but also it's going to be fully decentralized supposedly so right now one of the problems with um with like optimism in arbitrary is that they're sequencers so some of the things are still centralized and controlled by the the entity itself which is not great supposedly we don't know for sure but that this is going to come out fully decentralized fully ready and this is going to be huge because it'll be the first zero knowledge zk other than i guess you could say immutable is kind of this

but they're more meant for nfts in gaming but it'll be the first one that's zero knowledge um that is like fully available and ready so this could be big time uh which comes july july 19th probably uh then they've also launched polygon avail which is essentially um the data layer so right now if you are like a monolithic uh um uh layer one blockchain so something like bitcoin is or avalanche um or solana et cetera they kind of do everything all in one layer so your security your data layer your execution layer they're all in the same and what ethereum is trying to do and others like even avalanches is trying to build this out in cosmos and near and a lot of

these celestia is one these are all the ones that are going the what's called the modular route which is how most protocols tend to work that are underlying infrastructure like this where you sort of break it up and have different um layers to it which is why we have the layer one layer too well basically polygonal avail is the data layer that they are looking to they've just launched and basically now it makes it it basically makes it where other blockchains who are building or other rollups who are building don't need to build the data layer they can just plug into this one and they can just worry about their execution layer um which is really cool and then this plugs into ethereum l1 so we're sort of splicing up the different layers of a blockchain and it allows teams to build like and focus on one specific layer rather than

like every team has to build all of it like let's share it and let's just create the best uh on different layers and then plug into them all right so kind of that composability aspect and so that's what polygon is launching here with um with the veil and so that's super cool uh just gonna say it's launching on testnet it is not live on mainnet yet it is testnet so uh that's where we're at there i was just gonna say i'm pretty bullish on polygon i saw ryan watts speak at nft nyc and the thing that is very clear is they are taking the long term approach here and building the right way uh they're not trying to go after the quick money they

are hiring some of the brightest and the best and building this again why you should take the web 3 rabbit hole course is not so you we don't talk about specifically what polygon is building but so you can understand the tech so that when we talk about these things in the news it can it makes more sense and this is the really what is being built that is going to allow all of you to take your business to another level to give digital ownership to your customers to engage them in new ways uh yeah shout out bullish on polygon and polygons so you understand is not just this polygon like blockchain like the proof of stake blockchain that we have like they're building so many other layers like that

zika evm i just talked about that is its own layer two roll-ups that is owned and built by polygon right um we actually have the polygon team polygon um hermes which is another layer two uh or maybe that's the one that's actually launching on the 19th i don't know i think it is uh but we have them and then we have polygon id um two members from that both of those groups coming on the podcast like i don't know probably a month or so from now so it's still a ways away but we're gonna talk about some of this technology but like polygon is way more than just one blockchain they are building out scaling solutions all over layer twos data availability layers like a bunch of stuff um and um yeah they're gonna be a beast in the space i think yeah yeah no it's this is not financial

advice i have no idea how that proves to matic the token i don't know uh but um they're doing cool things anyway um speaking of doing cool things arbitram so i talked a little bit about this last week where i talked about hot protocol giving away poeps and nft giveaways to anyone who bridged using hot protocol over to arbitram what i didn't realize is that arbitrary is actually doing this whole little marketing campaign for eight weeks and so what it consists of is the first week of the week i talked about last week was actually bridge week and i love the way they set this up so basically what's happening is they got in touch with all the no i don't know if it's all but a bunch which there's a crazy amount of bridges in this uh layer two ecosystem but there's like 15 here

just on this picture and they all were doing different cool little campaigns where they were giving away pops nfts and things um if you use their bridge and if you bridge over to arbitram well then what's happening is the next week which is the week we're in now is um you could call it like the utility week or the using week and so all of a sudden now they have partnerships in a campaign going with like the apps that are on arbor trim and so the first week was bridge over and now it's let's start using these protocols and if you use them you get nfts or rewards or whatever that kind of stuff so it's all just incentivizing people to get familiar with these protocols to obviously it's a campaign and it's competition right optimism just launched their token so they had a lot of people moving over

there this is arbitrary firing back and saying hey we want you to come back to our uh our layer two and bridge over and so just a cool campaign where um because this is all composable and this ecosystem is about network effects and you know all the apps that are on arbor gym if they do well that means good things for arbitrage and if arbitration does well that means good things for ethereum right and so all of these sort of um layers that are being built one on top of another are perfect partnerships for marketing campaigns and that's exactly what arbitrary is playing out here so great job to their marketing team or whoever designed this one i don't know but check it out um if you go to i think it's portal.arbitrom.one i don't know if that's the site where you can see all things going on um

but uh they're just doing a lot of cool events and stuff for the next eight weeks and you can win rewards you can win nfts and po-ops and a bunch of different cool things so um yeah sweet deals i think they actually like broke records for the most volume they had on arbitrage just the other day they um they surpa yesterday they surpassed arbitration surpassed bitcoin in um fees earned um which is pretty cool uh because they don't pay nearly close to the security that bitcoin pays um so yeah really cool oh all time or just like yesterday just one day yeah it was a yesterday or two days ago i think it was uh it was just yesterday i think is when this happened um and i'm sure that doesn't keep up uh right now anyway

it's because they're running this campaign but i'm sure that now the baseline goes up and then you know as things continue to progress that will continue to go up so um really cool love it all right we've got final finally the web3 tool of the month drumroll [Music] what is it what is the web3 tools month the one through two of the months is ledger the ledger hardware wallet to keep your crypto and nfts safe why did we pick ledger kai well so um i mean one uh jay has been talking a lot in our discord about

security we actually i think just created a stay safe channel uh just to help people not lose their tokens not lose their nfts and one of the best ways to do that is good practices for your wallets and ledger is a hardware wallet so it allows basically what it does is you can still use your metamask and things like that but you can put the keys of that onto the hardware wall onto ledger and basically what you can do here is what this means is that people can't hack in your computer or you know whatever it is and make signing transactions you actually have to sign the transaction on the physical device in order for any transaction to go through um so it's just an extra layer of security by using a hardware wallet i recommend everyone everybody get a hardware wall if you

don't have one like please just get one it will save you i promise the amount of people that lose like you need to get one you need to get one um and i had the first one i ever got was treasure um which was kind of cool that's kind of how i learned about it but then i got a ledger and ledger just is like it's just so much better um they're innovating at an insane pace um they have i think three different versions the nano s uh the nano x and there's another one that is coming out or i don't know but anyway they um they're just doing some really cool stuff and they work across all the different i mean you can use solana ethereum bitcoin whatever else um you can actually use ledger live which is their app that they have and interact

with all the a bunch of default applications which you can't do i think on trezor at least you couldn't when i was using treasure and so you can just do a lot more you can actually make this your one stop shop essentially for everything um and um so yeah it's great there's a link below to grab yourself a ledger and uh i highly recommend you check that out um because it's like a hundred and this is canadian dollars it's kind of funny 114 bucks for the nano s i think the other one's even cheaper um oh no the nano x is 199 that's what i have um and um it's freaking awesome and it's gonna save you potentially so much so get yourself a ledger if you don't have get yourself any hardware wallet it doesn't really matter um but yeah get it because it's it's helpful

and and if you have any questions about security and safety uh i think there's you know so much fun uh around crypto because unfortunately when a lot of money flows into a new industry it brings scammers and fraud and bad actors along with it and they try to take advantage of uh of of opportunity and so if you're not sure how how to keep safe you know one thing that i think we all need to start to practice is it's like we've got um our health care routine you know everyone's got their fitness routine or you got your healthcare routine well we need our digital health routine we're

all going to start to have to practice you know what are the routines that keep our digital assets safe and what does that mean and so i think we're all figuring it out as we go but we're talking about that a lot in the discord and if you're confused and you need help figuring that out give us a shout happy to help anybody out and if you have any ideas also we'd love to uh collab bring you into the discord do some chats because everybody's trying to learn about this stuff right now jay is fudy your favorite crypto web 3 word i think friend is my favorite crypto brad browder bradley's as well yeah i think that was bro yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i just said three friends in this episode which by the way for those who don't

know it means fear uncertainty and doubt uh if you want a quick tip here's how i recommend you set up your wallets uh let's assume you use metamask you could i think you can use coinbase wallet for this as well um but i recommend you get two metamasks okay one you don't link into your ledger okay uh and or i mean you can also look at a ledger to be honest it doesn't really matter but it's just easier um and this is the one that you use to like dink around and like play around with apps and mint things and do the things you're gonna do and then what you do is have another metamask wallet which is secured by your ledger and everything you do any value you get if you mint an nft move it over to your ledger but your ledger should only ever like that metamask

that's backed up by your ledger should only ever interact with your other meta mask wall that's it it never signs transactions never does anything except for sending things or receiving things from your play meta mask wallet um because that way if you ever sign a transaction that is like we don't really know what we're signing it's ux here is brutal so sometimes you could right if you get a phishing attack or whatever or you happen to be on the wrong url you can sign a transaction that gives the person ownership of your wallet and they can steal everything in it and it's happened to so many people and so don't have any value in that wallet use it to into to interact with things right and to do whatever but then just immediately move it over to your ledger for the things that are just going to sit there

and then when you want to do something you want to sell something don't go and post it on openc from your ledger move it back to that play wallet and post it from there right um that's my recommendation uh and um it just it'll hopefully get rid of a lot of worry 100 that's the uh there you go that's that's the digital health routine and best practices i'm talking about thanks kai that's the only one i got it's my only routine that i have there that's that's great got lots of health routines though so i could i could definitely start you guys want some health information we can we can do that but for those who don't know kyle used to have a health podcast and you can still on health business modify you can still do this simple hell simple
