Uh let's start with uh let's start with
shear because shear is actually has a
limited time today. So Shear, how are
you doing my friend? Um please introduce
yourself and you know tell us about what
you do for Bitcoin OS.
Sure. Thank you Claire for the warm
introduction and in general I'd like to
give a big hands up Claire for being
such a great proactive approachable
community manager. Uh it's it's a
blessing to have you on the team and I I
know the community loves you and you're
always always always uh represent them
in team conversations
uh making sure uh everyone voice is
being heard um and and uh yeah thank you
for doing such a great job and
thank you for caring so much that that's real.
real. A
A
thank you my friend I appreciate that
significantly. I love all of you.
Yeah, I know. My name is Shir. I'm the
head of marketing for Bitcoin OS. I am
also uh acting as the head of adoption
for Sovereign. That's the project that
incubated Bitcoin OS uh before uh boss
um spread its wing um and uh and became
its own independent infrastructure
project. Uh in my role, I basically uh
oversee everything that has to do with
marketing from uh social media to
different events and and you know
everything and anything in between
including some advertising from time to
time. Um
and uh
uh yeah, I mean it's a it's a it's a
whole world of activities. I can tell
you. Claire, is it is it allowed to drop
alpha? Is is that okay to do in space?
Please, please drop alpha right now.
All right. All right. All right. Uh we
have um a lot of things coming up in the
pipeline. We're going to officially uh
introduce ZKBTC
uh which is uh how we call um the the
the programmable Bitcoin which is
Bitcoin native programmable Bitcoin
first in the world. So that announcement
is coming up soon um with the uh its use
cases, the addressable market and the
impact we think it's going to have and
the adoption we think it's going to
have. Um, so that's a very exciting
things we're working on right now. We're
I think you muted yourself, my friend.
Or lost connection. I don't know. Can
everybody hear me? Maybe it's me.
I can hear you. Okay.
Okay.
So, all right. That's
coming at you guys with some alpha. Um,
didn't know we were going to announce
CKBTC today, but uh, yeah, you guys have
you guys have a lot to look forward to.
Um, so that's exciting. Uh, give me one
second here before, um, I'm just worried
that the account is going to log off, guys.
Okay, sorry about that, guys. Uh I just
wanted to make sure that the the actual
boss account itself didn't didn't
disconnect otherwise otherwise
everything would have um we would have
ended the space. Um so
give me one more second cuz she's trying
Sorry about that friends. Thank you for
your patience. Much much appreciated. Um
well, if he doesn't if he doesn't log
back in, um
you guys got a little bit of alpha
there. Um a lot more information
regarding that is going to be coming
really soon. Um especially with the um
updated road map as well that you guys
have been waiting for. Um I can't give
any timelines on that right now. um
where we're kind of at with it, like
just as a transparency, just on a
transparency level with you guys, is
we're just finalizing some uh
information uh on the blog post. And
then we're also just finalizing some
minor adjustments on some of our
graphics. Obviously, you guys know that
we we just rebranded. So, um we're
trying to, you know, bring those new
branding visuals into some of the
graphics and then from there, we'll
obviously be ready to announce it. Um,
but uh I'm not sure if she's going to be
rejoining. So with that being said,
let's move on. Um, if he comes back, he
can talk more about ZQBTC for you guys.
Um, let's go to David. Um, David, how
are you, my friend? Uh, please introduce yourself.
yourself.
Okay. Uh I'm David the lead Debrell
also doing a lot of BD based out in Hong
Kong so I'm very focused on Asia at the moment
moment
and uh yeah you know anything product
explaining things I would say
we've been building a lot of different things
things
um you'll see from the road map that's
going to come out that we kind of
achieved a couple of very significant
firsts uh in the industry and on Bitcoin
last year in the last 12 months
and now we have a very solid kind of
foundation to to build on and
both from ZK verification
from charms
and a few other exciting things that
that you're going to see soon you're
kind of gonna going to see this um boss
tech stop getting tech stack getting
upgraded, getting a facelift,
um getting a new iteration closer to
being implemented and there is a plan
for that as well which will be explained
explained
uh in due time but very soon. So, uh,
yeah, exciting to
kind of come back to these calls a bit
more often because there's now,
you know, like I said, upgraded
technologies, new ideas,
uh, a very clear path going forward
and again, it's been great to see the
community grow this much with on a
fantastic place. Awesome.
Awesome.
Cool. Thanks for introducing yourself,
David. And uh quick question for you. Um
What do you mean by that? Like do you
mean I'm absolutely
um I'm absolutely a diva? Absolutely. Absolutely.
Absolutely.
I figured it. How's How's your portfolio doing?
No comment. But it's not always healthy,
you know, to live inside a casino. You
know, this is very much like what the
industry is to some extent. Like that's
why, you know, you kind of stay sane
building things, doing things. Um,
but yeah, I don't give advice on
markets, but uh we do have a a fund here
in Hong Kong if anyone is interested
called Cryptonite Capital. uh we do
venture and advisory
things like that
and you you're you're participating in
that right on what level?
I am one of the founders one of the
founders on this.
Wow, that's amazing. We'll have to we'll
have to talk about that more sometime
because I'm I'm definitely interested to
hear more about it. I'm sure the
community is as well.
Sure. We are I mean uh we are also
investors in Bitcoin also. So
we have a couple of investments across
the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Very interesting. Very interesting.
Yeah, we'll have to we'll have to talk
about that more. But
uh yeah, I guess knowing you're a DJ um
I definitely won't come to you for any
trading advice. Huh.
No, please don't.
You're fine, man. I, you know, I always
talk about how my bag is down like 90
95%. So, it's in the man. So,
I'm right there with you.
Being a DJ has not necessarily had its
perks this cycle, but uh you know, as
everybody says, um you know, we're
gearing up for the juiciest altcoin
super cycle, right? It's right around
the corner, guys. Right around the
corner. Um but anyways, uh let's move on
here. Um, very very very excited and
happy to introduce my friend Eric to you
guys. Eric, thank you so much for being
here, my friend. Um, please introduce
yourself, talk a little bit about what
you do for Boss. Um, if you've got any
alpha to share, the community would
absolutely love that. Um, and yeah.
Yeah, absolutely. Thanks for having me
on. It's It's good to finally be on one
of these. I've been uh kind of sneaking
myself into the Discord from time to
time recently, but I think it was time
to kind of take it up a level. Um yeah,
I'm Eric. I run the uh events and some
of the strategy at Boss uh while also
managing aspects of growth in BD. Um so
yeah, I mean everything all the IRL
activations that we host. I know we kind
of went a little crazier as a company
before I came on as we were kind of
introducing the the Bitcoin OS brand. Um
we've kind of had to get a bit more
strategic uh since I've been here uh
with with how we activate and and where
our focuses lie. But um
but yeah, I mean we've had we've had the
opportunity to do a lot of fun things.
Uh Vegas was a blast. have done some
small activations earlier in the year at
Consensus and um ETH Denver and we have
some some some fun things in the pipe as
well um that we'll be uh targeting
during uh KBW in Soul and also uh in
Singapore during token. So excited to
keep planning these out um and excited
for you guys to uh you know excited to
be more involved with you guys as we as
we plan them. Um, I'll give a little bit
of uh context here. It's funny we're
talking about like, you know, deep
diving into tech and dejening, but you
know, my my background is actually uh in
fine arts with quite a bit of experience
in in in FnB and events management. So,
kind of humanizing myself a little bit
more. I didn't even come into the web 3
space until the beginning of last year.
uh you know barely any digital
portfolio, you know, close to zero
knowledge, pun intended, around emerging
blockchain tech, um and really like zero
past experience with um with the
corporate structure. So, it's been it's
been a it's been a a whirlwind of a
journey and uh you know, two years
later, I'm still here, you know, um as
we all are learning every single day
more about this space and and where
we're headed. And um it's crazy you know
to think that like you know I'm
organizing events around boss which is
you know call it here I'm going to read
I'm going to read AI right here. A
modular infrastructure layer
implementing a zk proof verification
protocol on bitcoins mainet that
facilitates the cryptographic
verification of arbitrary computation
through succinct non-interactive
arguments of knowledge enabling
permissionless bridging mechanics
crosschain interoperability and turn and
complete smart contract execution.
eventually I'll fully understand what
that means, but just to put it into
perspective, that's where we're at. Um,
but anyways, shifting gears a little
bit. Um, as many of you know at this
point, Boss has gotten a facelift. Um,
Claire's going to be speaking on this a
little bit more. You know, this rebrand,
as you guys have seen. Um,
it's it's taken a lot of dedication and
and I'm sure some tears throughout the
process, but the outcome really blew our
entire team's mind. And it's it's it's a
reimagining not only of Boss, but it's
kind of it's honestly setting a new
precedent for the brand identity of
projects in the space. So, um, with with
any rebrand comes comes some some crazy
new announcements and, uh, more
importantly, new swag. So, I I guess you
can call this a little bit of alpha. Um,
at the beginning at the end of this
month, maybe the beginning of September,
uh, no later than the 5th, um, we're
going to be launching a merch store on
our website. So, you know, not only can
you expect like fresh new branding at
our IRL activations and and kind of
collectible new apparel to Rep Boss, but
we're also going to be um launching some
stuff on our site. So, whether you
couldn't catch us at a conference, you
need swag out the family and loved ones,
whatever it may be, the option for
getting um boss parent stuff will be
available to everybody. So, I don't want
to give away too much exactly about what
we'll launch. Um
I'll I think we uh hopefully I can
announce this. I think we'll be we'll be
discussing next week with uh kind of one
of the masterminds behind the studio
that that led the rebrand um on another
community call. So, I'll wait to sort of
introduce some some of the items till
he's been able to speak on it himself.
But um yeah, we're very excited. I think
you guys are going to be really happy
with some of the designs, some of the uh
the quirky new items that will be, you
know, available exclusively through our
through our merch store. And I think
it's going to be uh we're gonna have a
lot of fun with it. And I hope you guys
uh enjoy it just as much as we have. I'm
going to give also a last minute shout
out to uh Jon Snow185 because when I had
long hair that was my nickname. So I
just saw that in the in the in this in
Oh, you're a clown. You're an absolute
clown. This is why we always just laugh
endlessly when we're together. Um, first
of all, that was an amazing
introduction. You definitely covered
some really cool elements of things that
we're doing um, behind the scenes. Uh,
was also just going to comment on uh,
just, you know, the the description you
read about Bitcoin OS modular infrastructure,
infrastructure,
middleware layer, whatever, all that.
Trust me, same here. When I first
started at Boss, I was like, oh no. I
was like, I'm I'm I'm in trouble. There
is absolutely no way uh I'm going to
understand what uh what is what does
Yago like to say? Verifiable ZK
verifiable computation. I'm pretty sure
I'm never going to be be able to
understand what that actually means. Uh
and I remember listening to him and like
David talk on some of these community
calls and I was just like, "Oh my god."
It was like I I think I had to like
sleep for an extra like 5 hours after
those spaces just because it like just
hurt my brain. I was just trying so hard
to like grasp what it is that we were
genuinely doing. So, I can only imagine
I can only imagine like the the the way
that the community also felt uh which
you know it's kind of beautiful to see
like a major shift in like their
understanding over the course of the
last couple of months. you know, and I
know a lot of the community members had
no idea what ZKPs were, what
cryptography was, and then now they're
pretty much the ones that are pitching
it to all the new community members and
stuff that's coming in. So, it's been
really beautiful to to kind of see that
shift. Um, but uh but yeah, uh I guess
so like um you know, the rebrand guys,
you know, let's let's just kind of go
over this a little bit. Um, so first and
foremost, um, next week, you know,
typically on Tuesdays, we have our
Webbby Academy spaces. Next Tuesday,
what's going to happen is instead of a
regular Webbby Academy space, uh, we're
actually going to bring on, like Eric
said, the masterminds behind the actual
like rebranding, the visuals, the
imagery, um, and and ultimately this
shift that we've created on, you know,
on a on a design level. Um, and they're
going to basically, you know, cover
cover everything that you need to know.
Um, why this happened, um, how
everything ties into each other, and it
should give you guys a good idea of
just, you know, just a clear
understanding of the rebrand and, you
know, its its intention. So,
um, I will, uh, schedule that today and
I will announce it so that anybody who
would like to participate can do so next
week. Um, but with that being said,
um, let me talk to you guys just on a
surface level as to why we have
rebranded. And of course, if any of my
teammates would like to expand on that,
they're more than welcome to do so. Um,
but we essentially rebranded because
Boss has evolved into something much
bigger than just a Bitcoin project. Um,
we have been obviously growing at an
extremely rapid rate and we wanted to
create an identity that captures that,
an identity that's cinematic, an
identity that's aspirational, um, an
identity that tells a story. So, Boss
goes beyond tech, right? It's it's it's
this world that we're all building
together. So the new new look that we
have uh the tesaract which is the cube
right that you guys see within our logo
um the imagery it all reflects our
vision of
essentially unlocking Bitcoin's full
potential and inviting the entire
community the entire ecosystem into this
new era with us. So this brand is more
than just a design change for us. Um,
it's the way that you can look at it is
it's it's a testament to the new era
that we're all stepping into. It's this
open invitation into this familiar yet
transformed setting where we can all
come together and build the new internet
of value that we've been talking to you
guys about as of lately. Uh, now what
that internet of value is is
um I'm not sure if I'm going to share
that yet. I'm not sure if I'm going to
share that yet. We've just kind of been
dropping some teasers here. I know I
know Yago's been talking about it here
and there. Um, but what I would like is
for Yago to come up and actually talk
about his um his mindset with not only
of the internet of value, but the
internet with value as well and what
that actually like entails. Uh, and for
those of you that don't know, Yago is
our co-founder. He is also currently out
of office um until the end of the month.
He which is completely welld deserved.
He's been going extremely hard for the
last uh couple of months. He's literally
taken zero breaks. So, uh this was much
again much deserved. Um but uh hopefully
that kind of give you g gives you guys
an understanding of like why we decided
to do this rebrand. We are pretty much
growing guys. Um our this ecosystem that
we have right the boss ecosystem is
completely growing and that goes that
goes beyond our partnerships. It's more
so also just the fact that um we are an
open-source project and we have all
these different entities that are
building on the boss ecosystem to make
basically boss happen, right? Um, so you
know, uh, we actually put out a post a
couple of days ago. Um, let me just make
sure that I
let me pull this up just to make sure
that I am, um, announcing this correctly
to you guys. Um, I don't I don't want to
say anything that's um, out of line
here. Um,
but obviously you guys you guys know
that Sovereign, right, is is developing
apps on the ecosystem. We have
extraterrestrial tech that is um
essentially working on the the Grail Pro
technology which Grail Pro is um the
advanced version of Grail that uh I've
talked to you about in the last
community call. And then um we have wake
up Labs which is pushing the ZK rollup
innovation. And then we have charms
which you guys all know is um developing
this new chain agnostic token standard
right that is essentially going to unify
our entire the entire cryptocurrency
ecosystem starting with UTXO chains. So
um we have you know we've always talked
to you guys about how all of the
products that we are building all the
products that we have are open source
and the reason for that is because
genuinely our goal here is unification.
Our our goal here is to end
fragmentation. Our goal here is to
really take the cryptocurrency ecosystem
to the next level right and unify
everyone with this operating system. And
so the only way that we can truly do
that is if people come in and they use
our technology. So um we've always been
an open source project as you guys know
um a couple months back I think it was
well over five six months ago now but we
launched um Bitnark and we open sourced
Bitnark um which is our ZK verification
protocol. Um so you know we obviously
started with that. Charms is obviously
the same. You guys know that it's an
open source project, but again,
everything always ties back into the
ecosystem. You know, even if there are
these separate entities that are working
on different elements within the OS,
everything is still taking place within
the OS, within the boss ecosystem. So,
um hopefully that gives you guys um an
understanding of how, you know, h how
we're working together. And um I also
didn't mention that we also have BTCOS.
Um and that's actually who I work for.
That's who Eric works for. I believe
that's who D uh David works for as well.
That's kind of like the commercial and
growth side of Bitcoin OS, right? So
while we have all these other entities
that are working on like the
infrastructure and the technical side of
things, we have BTCOS, the BTCOS team
that's working on actually, you know, um
showcasing the the narrative, pushing
this on a commercial level and and
actually helping, you know, get the tech
out there on a on a marketing
standpoint, right? Um on a community
standpoint. So that's who I work for. Um
so yeah again guys our entire goal here
as always to just be transparent with
you guys every step of the way. Even if
there is at times where we can't share
information um you know the information
that we can share is limited please
understand that everything that we do is
strategic. Everything that we do is
intentional and we genuinely genuinely
genuinely as as honest and transparent
as we can be. we try to be in every
single regard and that will continue um
that will continue that narrative and
that understanding will continue
throughout the years coming. So
um with that being said, Eric, did you
want to say anything about the
ecosystem? Did you want to say anything
about the rebrand? Um David, same to
you. Did you guys want to comment on anything?
anything?
Um I mean I I will add one point to the
rebrand. I think I think in addition to
you know differentiating ourselves uh as
as boss with kind of like this this new
unique identity I think it's also
important to note that like this whole
vision this this brand
um is also meant to empower the
community um you know it's it's it's
rooted in in this sort of storytelling
world building vibe you know if those
that saw the sort of the hype video that
we that we launched with it it's kind of
like more almost more like a film or a
video game um than than what you'd see
in like traditional tech at least in web
3. So, you know, we want kind of how I
mean CLA already kind of touched on
this, but we want this, you know, with
this rebrand to become sort of like a
a leadup into being a canvas for uh our
community to to not only to not only to
build, but just to kind of, you know,
transform this world with us. um whether
it be something as simple as creating
you know memes to um to to to building
um you know NFTTS on on charms you know
it it it really is it's completely open
and that's kind of the idea. So just
kind of wanted to touch on that too and
and and say that this a large part of
this re rebrand was very much um uh
built out with with with you guys in mind.
mind.
Yeah. I you know and and to you know um
touch base on what you were saying as
well there I on just like a personal
level I you know the rebrand really
resonates with me as uh as an avid gamer
and you know somebody who just genuinely
loves fantasy um that's kind of like the
vibe that it has right and I think that
a lot of people within the space this is
something that they can like absolutely
relate to I think that a majority of us
have a gaming back background I think a
majority majority of us have like
you know, fantasy loving like background
as well. So, it's kind of catering to
like this to to to something that really
generally like resonates within all of
us. You know, if you look at other
Bitcoin projects, it's definitely, you
know, s significantly different than
what other Bitcoin projects are doing,
right? Um, it has like this kind of like
almost like dystopian vibe that turns
utopian. It's this like light to dark
like fantasy element to it. Um, again
for me it just personally resonates
significantly because I I love fantasy.
I love Lord of the Rings. I love Star
Wars. Like I grew up on these. I grew up
gaming. So um and and I'm sure that a
lot of you can relate and I do hope that
over time this is something that kind of
grows on you guys as well. Obviously, I
love the Bitcoin orange as well, and
that's something that I don't
necessarily uh, you know, want to give
up, but um,
at the end at the end of the day, like,
you know, we're we're growing as an
ecosystem, and, you know, we're growing
as a brand, we're growing as a project,
we're growing as a as a community, as an
ecosystem, and we we wanted to do
something, you know, out there that
reflects that mission. So, um,
I'm just Let's let's be clear. Bitcoin
orange never goes away. Yes.
Yes.
Whether it's in our whe whether it's in
our brand palette or not. Absolutely.
Absolutely.
No, absolutely. Yeah. Like the the
orange is something that will always
stick, guys. So, uh I know a lot of you
were asking, hey, like are are uh
profile pictures going to change because
we all have kind of like very similar
profile pictures that Bitcoin orange
with that beautiful like yellow
gradient. Um, possibly if you guys would
like for it to change, I think we can.
Um, if not, you know, we can just add
some of like the new like branding um,
you know, visuals in there and and kind
of keep that like orange vibe going. So,
uh, that's something that again we're
open to discussion as well. You know, I
love taking in your consideration. So,
yeah. Um
but with that guys, you know, uh you
guys have been asking about the Cardano
integration and you know, we covered
this in the last community call. Um that
we're actually building something very
special. We're building something that
at this very moment in time doesn't
exist. Um so boss will be the first one
to kind of like lead to to kind of
pioneer with this like new technology.
Um, so what it is guys
is that we are building a custom ZKVM
for the Cardano integration. And
And
before I, you know, talk about this
again, I just want to highlight, you
know, a couple of things. I mentioned to
you guys, I want to tie a educational
component to this. Um, just so that you
guys have the knowledge and tools you
need to, you know, effectively navigate
not only boss but like this ecosystem.
Um, so what is a ZKVM,
right? Um, so virtual machines, VMs are
virtual machines and and what that
typically looks like is it's kind of
like a mini computer program that runs
code, right? So this specific one that
we're building actually has zero
knowledge capabilities that are built
into it. So in simple terms, we have
virtual machines. What they do is they
run code in a in a in a controlled
environment, right, within a program.
And then we have zero knowledge which
essentially lets you prove
uh that the result of running that code
is correct without showing all the
details of it. So what zero knowledge is
or zero knowledge cryptography is it's a
cryptography tool that you can use
within networks, you can use within
programs, you can use within
infrastructure, so on and so forth. And
essentially what it does is it lets the
prover convince the verifier that the
information is true without revealing
any of the information behind it. Now
what what do I what do I mean by that?
Right? Like how what how can that
actually make sense? So anal an analogy
that I can share with you is imagine you
and I share this all the time because it
just makes sense. It's very simple.
Imagine you are you want to go to a
club, okay? But you don't want to tell
the bouncer, you you don't want to show
the bouncer your ID. You don't want to
tell the bouncer that you're over 18 so
that they can let you in, right? So
instead of doing that, what you do is
you wear a badge and that badge
literally tells the bouncer everything
that he needs to know and he lets you
in. So that's pretty much how zero
knowledge cryptography works. So what I
had said to you guys was is that what it
does is it lets the prover convince the
verifier that the information is true
without revealing any of the actual
information behind it. So the reason why
we use this um instead of trusting
people to do the work right instead of
trusting custodians within within the
actual like programming within actual
tech infrastructure is because um it's
it's it's a lot more trustworthy. It's a
lot more trustless to trust the cryp to
to trust the cryptography to trust the
math. So um zero knowledge proof
technology is significantly more secure.
It's resistant to manipulation and it's
extremely fast to verify amongst so many
other variables. So for example, I can
take multiple proofs and then I can
which are basically pieces of evidence
guys. You like when I say proofs I mean
it's literally like evidence like a
proof, right? So it you could take all
these multiple proofs and then you can
bundle them into one single proof,
right? One single piece of data, one
single piece of evidence. And what that
does is it can make large systems
verifiable in one easy steps, right? So
what is a VK ZKVM guys? Let's run this
back. It's ZKVMs run programs. And then
number two, because it's um ZKbased, it
creates a proof, and by proof again I
mean evidence that the program was run correctly,
correctly,
right? So it lets anyone verify um that
proof quickly without needing to trust
you or essentially like rerun like the
entire program. So we don't need to
trust a custodian. We don't need to
trust a person because the cryptography,
the mathematics is basically doing all
the work for us. Okay. So, um, hopefully
that gives you guys an understanding,
right? So, TLDDR, uh, we have a virtual
machine, right? This mini computer
program that's ZK based, right? It's
running proofs. Um, and then there's
somebody that's, uh, it's running proofs
and then it's being verified within that
same program. Okay. So, let's go back to
um, let's go back to kind of like the
Cardano integration. Um, so I just want
to give you guys an idea of what it is,
the actual tech that we're building
before I speak of this Cardano
integration. So
at the moment,
um, all the ZKVMs that we know of today
support an elliptic curve that's called BN254.
BN254.
Um, and what an elliptic curve is is
it's essentially this math structure
uh within cryptography that defines how
keys are created. It defines how
signatures are made. It defines um how
transactions are validated. Right? So,
BN254 is used by many ZK uh based
platforms. However, um something to keep
in mind here is that BN254 is a little
outdated and so the dev community has
been looking at more um secure elliptic
curves, which is BLS12 as pretty much
like the next step. So, believe it or
not, and this is not a shocker, Cardano
is actually well ahead, guys, because
the Cardano network already uses BLS12.
And so in order for us to build a token
standard, right, charms that is chain agnostic,
agnostic,
um what we need to be able to do is we
need to be able to generate proofs for
for both BLS12 and BN254.
Again, BN254 is the elliptic curve that
is um currently being used by uh all
these ZKbased uh platforms. and and and
if we can do that effectively, we can
then beam our these charms token
trustlessly between chains, right? So,
right now we're essentially doing
something that doesn't exist. We are
building a BLS12 compatible ZKVM.
And this is essentially a
a very necessary building block in our
long-term vision um which is obviously
to build an operating system for Bitcoin
for um other UTXO based chains for
Cardano and then eventually to be able
to unite the entire cryptocurrency
ecosystem. Right? So this is while while
this is something that you know isn't
necessarily our main focus
uh this is something that's absolutely
crucial in making you know our
technology our interoperability all the integrations
integrations
um basically essential. So hopefully
that gives you guys a little bit of an
understanding there. I'm sorry if this
kind of went for a very long time. I
think for a lot of you, you know, if
you're just coming in and hearing about
ZKPs for the first time, cryptography of
the for the first time, it's going to be
a little bit too much. Um, but I wanted
to cover it anyway. And then, um, I did
want to share today's secret code, which
is 21. So, it's the number two and then
it's one. That's the secret code for
today, guys. And I will not repeat it
again. Um, and then let's go into, you
know, some community based things. um
before we get into your questions. So,
So,
first and foremost, um our ZLY sprint
just started about an hour and a half
ago. This is our fourth Zeli sprint.
Now, something interesting we're doing
this time around is
our first sprint. We actually our first
two sprints, we actually only rewarded
the top five.
Last sprint, we awarded the top 10. This
sprint we are awarding the top 15 of the
leadership board. So if you make your if
if you climb your way up the leadership
board and you find yourself in the top
15 at the end of the sprint, you will
essentially be able to claim a piece of
the prize pool. So because we've
expanded to the top 15, our prize pool
also uh increased. Typically our prize
pool is $1,000 in USDC ERC20. This time
around, our prize pool is $1,200 in USC
ERC20. So, like the first place, for
example, first place winner gets 200,
second place 175, third place 150,
fourth place 125, fifth place one uh
100, and then the rest um goes down into
the 50s and $25 range. Um but again,
this is just because we want to just say
thank you once again for sticking with
us. Thank you for being an advocate.
Thank you for being loyal. Thank you for
um sharing our excitement. Um so
hopefully this kind of just this just
reflects that for you guys. It's just a
token of our appreciation as always. Um
so if you guys would like to participate
in the Zel sprint, which everybody is
open to, everybody is welcome to. Please
head over to our Discord, head over to
our announcements channel, and you'll
find all the instructions there.
Uh besides that, let's talk about
something that's also extremely exciting
on a community level that's going on.
So, as you guys know, a lot of you have
been utilizing the engage bot on our
Discord. Um, and what how the way that
that typically works is the engage bot
will post a space link or it will post a
uh you know a tweet, it will tell you to
comment, it will tell you to uh reply,
retweet, so on and so forth. for doing
that you get a specific amount of
points. Now you guys have been doing
this for like the last 3 months and you
have not claimed any rewards whatsoever.
Well, I'm very happy to finally
introduce that today I will be
announcing a reward marketplace my
friends. So there will be a a initial
number of rewards that can be claimed.
Ple please keep in mind that there are
very limited spots initially and the
reason for that is because this is our
initial just kind of like a testing
ground. This is the first time we're
doing this. So uh I want to see how it
goes. I want to see how it flows and
from there um you know moving forward in
the in the coming months I will not only
update uh you know update those spots
those limited spots but I will also
continue adding new rewards. Now, with
that being said, um if you guys are part
of different communities and you see
that they offer different types of
rewards, please open up a support
ticket, tag me, and tell me which ones
those are because I genuinely would like
to offer a lot more rewards. I'm kind of
just my brain is honestly just soup
right now and um it's just not it's not
functioning as as it should be. So, I'm
just I don't really have like my
creative juices coming through right
now. So, if there is something that
again you guys would like to see in the
reward marketplace, please let me know.
I'm happy to cater to that. We're happy
to cater to that as always. But yeah,
super super super excited about this for
you guys. Um, and just to give you an
understanding of like what this reward
marketplace looks like is you can
actually exchange your points either for
USDC, you can exchange your points for a
t-shirt, and you can also exchange your
points for a hat. Um, so pretty
exciting. And, um, what's also pretty
cool too is kind of what Eric mentioned
is we're actually revamping our
merchandise. So, um, so you guys will be
able to get pieces of that either when
that's ready or and you can wait or you
can actually get um our just the current
merchandise that we've had for the last
like year or so. So, you guys get to
choose. Um, and then I will say too that
once you actually go in and claim those
rewards, please open up a support ticket
so that I I I can I can cater to you
guys and I can send you rewards and so
on and so forth. Um, but yeah, I wanted
to announce that. And then um, another
cool community event that's happening as
well, guys, is uh, we are actually
having our very first movie night
tonight. Uh, it starts in about 4 hours
from now. We're actually going to be
watching Parasite. I don't know if you
guys have watched that before, but it's
it's it's it's an amazing movie. It's
completely mindbending. Um it's won
several uh awards and um I highly, you
know, implore you to go and watch the
trailer. Um but also just please come
and hang out. We would love to be with
you and um just vibe with you and uh
obviously anybody who participates in
any of our events gets extra XP towards
Zely. And also I'm kind of doubling the
rewards today and you will also get
points for engage as well. So pretty
cool. Um there was also a couple people
on our uh Discord earlier today that
were complaining about the ZLY sprint
and saying that we're only catering
towards old members and that new members
don't get a chance to actually um take
the lead, like they'll be left behind. I
this is not true. Um the reason being is
because we always have different events
that are happening within Discord
itself, right? So we have a movie night
for example. We have uh we typically
have trivia nights or game nights pretty
much every single week. Um we have like
impromptu like random events that take
place. Uh, and people typically get um,
Zeli XP for that, right? So, you can
literally come and participate in these
events and get XP for that. So, what I'm
trying to say with that is we we try to
do whatever we can to create as much
balance as possible. Obviously, it's
very understandable that, you know, when
you're a long longtime community member,
you're eventually going to unlock
different perks within the server,
right? you're going to unlock different
uh different roles and things of that
nature and it's going to, you know, give
you the opportunity to be able to, for
example, get whitelist opportunities or
extra XP claimed for different campaigns
that we're running, things of that
nature, right? So, just stick around and
you will absolutely reap the benefits,
my friend. I promise you that we always
have something running for the
community. There's always incentives and
please don't let the free XP uh
opportunities on Zely deter you either.
I promise you, you can get ahead. I
promise you, you can. There's multiple
ways to get XP, not only by doing
quests, but also on Discord. If you go
and read um the announcement, you'll see
that I highlighted different ways that
you can get XP within Discord. Keep in
mind, not everybody participates in
these, right? So, I said you could
participate in the movie night, you
could participate in the trivia night,
the game night, you can react to our
announcements in the announcements
channel that gives you XP. You can drop
a meme in the meme wars channel that
gives you XP. Uh you can drop a question
in the AMA questions channel that gives
you XP. Uh you can drop a nice, you
know, thoughtful message in the good
morning, good night channel. That also
gives you XP. There's so many ways to to
to position yourself in the lead. You
just have to you just have to put
yourself out there. That's it. You just
have to try. Again, not everybody's
going to uh you know, make sure they're
doing every single thing perfectly. So
you will have opportunities my friends.
Um and again welcome to our new
community members. Um please stick
around. We always have something uh you
know we we always have like I said some
kind of incentive that's running and um
there's a lot of value that can be
extracted from all of that as well
whether it's in our calls our webb
academy spaces so on and so forth. So,
um, with that being said,
let me go to our AMA questions channel
to see if there's any questions for me
or the team. Um,
and like I said, guys, if you do have
any questions at this moment in time,
please go drop them in the AMA questions
channel and um, I'll be happy to to do
my best to answer them
or David um, David or Eric can answer
them, too. So
David, this one this one is something
that you might be able to um to touch
base on. So this question is, could you
comment on the incentive model strategy
for slam node operators? Specifically,
how will rewards tied to uptime and
latency targets together with
progressive penalties be implemented to
maximize reliability and deter bad behavior?
behavior?
It's a long question. Um I would say
generally it's kind of about um trying
to make sure that
value that are in the nodes somewhat represents
represents
the total value of BTC that's being
secured. So I think that's kind of
important. So the bigger um
the bigger sorry the bigger the TVL is
inside a vault or inside the system
uh the more boss tokens should be
required to uh maintain maintain
security nodes and so I think that's
part of it um
But uh just like any other system, we
there's a couple of upgrades coming. I
can't say too much, but um part of the system
system
um or there are
pretty cool system that you can build
where you keep things
somewhat permitted too. So if you do
things in a permissioned way sometimes with
with
permission group
you can have specific tokconomics around
the cost of running a node etc. But
generally I think is make it
proportional to how much the value of
the network is.
Hopefully hopefully that answers that my
friend. Um that was by 2B cryptological.
uh you know as we've mentioned time time
and time again um you know once we've
kind of like finalized all the details
regarding um slam nodes, boss nodes,
rewards, so on and so forth, we will um
not only have a blog around that, we
will not only create a a very specific
category on Discord for that so that
there's instructions on actually how to
participate as a node operator, but also
just providing you guys with more
information because this is something
that's, you know, um one of the topics
that is is highlighted significantly
within the community. So I promise you
that once we have more information I
will we will be hosting several several
several spaces around it. Um
so social chain um asked
the very question that everybody's
asking pretty much when TGE uh any
updates on TGE exchange listing targets
when investors can start expecting ROIs.
Interesting. Um thank you for asking my
friend. Um guys, I'm going to tell you
the same thing that I've been telling
you guys for the last last couple weeks,
last couple months. Um first of all I do
want to say I apologize
on behalf of the team for this delay. Um
but please once again do understand that
it is with the utmost best intention in
mind. Um everything that we are doing on
our end is strategic. It's intentional.
Not only is it do we have best
intentions in mind for the tech itself,
for the infrastructure itself, for the
cryptocurrency ecosystem itself, but
also this reflects on you guys and will
reflect on the community as well. So,
it's extremely uh extremely um important
that we launch strong and not fast. Um
but as you know, we've been transparent
with you guys about the reasons as to
why you know TG TGE has been delayed
past Q2. And the reason for this, my
friends, is because of what we've been
saying time and time again, which is
that we are trying to um secure
a position with top tier exchanges,
right? And our conversations are
progressing extremely well with them.
But, you know, the time at which things
progress, it's it varies, right? It's
dynamic. So, there's a lot of elements
that go into um securing an exchange
partnership. It's beyond just being
like, "Okay, um here's this amount of
money. Here's that amount of money.
You're you're done. That's it." There's
a lot more to that, guys. Like they, you
know, they they require a lot of um
you know, uh how do I explain this? Like
they they require like a lot of like
elements from us and um
and and they ask for us to meet those uh
elements. They ask for us to meet those
requirements, right? Um, and on top of
that, there's also negotiations that
take place about certain things. And so
this takes time. This unfortunately just
is something that takes time. And it's
it's good that it takes time because
it's really important that it's done
correctly. So that's all I can say about
TGE at the moment. Please, as always,
keep your notifications on. Um, you
know, stay active on our Discord. You
will be the first to know. you will you
guys will literally be the first to know
as soon as there is something that we
can share with you guys. Um so again
apologies for the delay here but please
do understand that it's with the
absolute best intention in mind. We want
to long uh we want to launch uh strong.
We don't want to launch fast. Please go
and do your research and look at the
projects that have launched fast. It has
not reflected well. That's all I can
say. So at this moment in time, we you
know appreciate your patience. We
appreciate your understanding. Um we
appreciate your support as we, you know,
finalize these um these partnerships and
again you guys will be the absolute
first to know as long as you are active,
you remain active. Um you keep those
notifications on um and again we just
appreciate your patience there.
So next question.
Um couple questions it seems from the
same person. So Jimmy Shaker said
with great excitement I am reading that
there will be many ways how
the boss token shall profit and gain
value over time through the whole
ecosystem. Since there is a 12-year
token emission schedule, I'd like to see
the token acrew its value over time step
by step. My question is who is to say
that the token will not be replaced by a
better token in 2, three, or four years
time? Is there some guarantee that this
will still be the only infrastructure
token for all of Bitcoin OS's future?
I'm asking because it was emphasized
that Bitcoin OS is not a company. What
rules are there to follow for Bitcoin OS
in order to generate trust rather than
doubt? Um, David, do you do you want to
answer that or do you want me to to to
dive into it?
Let me just say a few words, but I think
it's very hard to set this point. You
know, I think uh one really healthy way
of looking at a project like this is you
team that's working really hard to build
this new technology. And the most
important thing is always to get this
technology adopted, run pilots, keep
experimenting with it, get feedback from
customers, find
find something that people want to and
scale it up. And then when you do that
you will find where all the belief is
like where's the revenue coming
how does the value chain look. So it's
really really step by step and so I
think the token you can always have
ideas about the token you can always
imagine things and say hey you can
create value like this like that or the
other but I think till you have a real
system that's working you don't you can
never be quite sure uh once you have that
that
you know you can really um once you
focus on getting the product market fit
you can really
um you can find ways to acrew value to
the token real know now because you have
a solid kind of ecosystem. So in that
potentially um of course over a very
long time
tokenomics can change a lot that's the
case for every project but you have
governance around it right you have
transparency you have discussion around
and sometimes it's for the rest as well
and the community will have to decide
that long run as well um and yeah like I mean
mean
the the key is for that there's a good
governance process so it's was done to
do things in a fair way and I think over time
time
as the market also keeps changing
evolving as long as we can build
products that are being used we're close
to our customers our system like having
dominant market share whether it's like
Bitcoin TVL defy security
security
whatever it is uh then we're always find
ways to uh route revenue give back to
Thanks, David. Appreciate that. Um, I
guess I'll just expand on that too. Um,
just and it might not necessarily answer
the the question directly, but um, you
know, let's just kind of go back to like
what the purpose of like the boss token
is, right? We obviously have an
operating system and there is a service
level agreement that needs to be
maintained and so that's essentially
what the token serves as right it's her
it's essentially this service level
agreement maintaining
um token right um it helps keep the uh
it helps upkeep the integrity of the
entire OS and so yes um Bitcoin OS is
not a company we have all these
different entities that are built
building within the the for the
operating system within the operating
system and um regardless of that um we
still have the token that's essentially
maintaining the uh and and upkeeping the
integrity of this this OS right so it
doesn't you know there being multiple
entities that are building on on boss
doesn't necessarily mean that that's
that's going to affect the token negatively
negatively
um in in in in any facet if that makes
sense. If anything, it's it's going to
help build build and and bring more
value um because there's new
opportunities. There's more
opportunities flowing in. So um you know
I've shared this before and I'll share
it again but this is obviously not
financial advice but when there is
pressure on the boss OS on the actual
ecosystem itself um when there is a um
when there's demand demand for the boss
token will also increase my friends
again not financial advice um but
hopefully that that at least you know
answers a portion of portion of your message.
message. Um,
Um,
and then you also mentioned, you know,
what rules are there to follow for
Bitcoin OS in order to generate trust
rather than doubt? That's also a really
good question. Um, I would just like for
you to kind of like look at some
elements here um that we have
implemented into kind of our ethos, our
mission, everything that we're we've
been doing, right? First and foremost,
um, all our tech is ZK powered. Um, we
are literally trying to minimize trust
as much as we possibly can, right? ZKPs
enable that. ZKPs allow that. Um, ZKPs
um are extremely secure. They're
extremely fast. We can, you know, uh,
take a bunch of proofs, bundle them into
one, right, and then verify that. So,
there there's a lot of um a lot of like
security measures that are being taken.
And one thing that you can look at is um
the fact that we're utilizing ZKPS.
Number two, a lot of these bridging
systems for example, they use um the
honest majority model, which means that
50% and up of um basically like operators
operators
need to come to a consensus, right? and
agree that hey this is this person's
Bitcoin let it um you know it's you know
mint mint whatever on the other side
right um and so
with that being said um we've kind of
pretty much like come to a conclusion
community call after community call you
guys know this that this uh system is
essentially prone to compromise and so
what we've decided to do is we use the
one of trust assumption method which
means that We only need one verifier to
basically um like create trust within
our system, right? We only need one
person to to maintain and and upkeep the
integrity. As long as we have one person
that's honest, that's all that we need
for the system to keep unfolding and
doing all the things that it needs to
do, right? And so what that means is you
can have 9,000 people who are dishonest,
okay, within our operating system within
that are upkeeping the integrity of the
system. As long as you have one honest participant,
participant,
that's all you need for the system to
continue functioning optimally. Okay?
And um what that typically means is you
would need 100% of operators,
validators, whatever, approvers, zk uh
zk verifiers to essentially take down
the system. That's impossible. I I don't
well I don't want to say impossible. I
think it's impossible. I'm pretty sure
Yago has said it's impossible. Um, so
you know there's a lot of these, you
know, safety elements and extra security
measures that we're taking within our
infrastructure to make that possible.
And then another thing with trust,
look at charms. Like look at charms.
Like why was charms created? Charms was
literally created to unify this
fragmented ecosystem that we have. We
obviously know that fragmentation causes
a lot of issues, a lot of issues within
this ecosystem. You know, the user
journey sucks. And a big part of like uh
a big part of these like scams and
things of that nature being able to take
place is also due to fragmentation.
And so charms is going to unite the
cryptocurrency ecosystem. It's going to unite everybody. That's you know um and
unite everybody. That's you know um and it's going to tie it back into our
it's going to tie it back into our operating system and that's essentially
operating system and that's essentially what we need to be able to take crypto
what we need to be able to take crypto to the next level. Um we obviously know
to the next level. Um we obviously know like um you know we look at just
like um you know we look at just technology that's come out over the
technology that's come out over the course of the last whatever 50 100 years
course of the last whatever 50 100 years it's like without an operating system to
it's like without an operating system to kind of take it to the next level it
kind of take it to the next level it remains dormant. It remains stagnant. It
remains dormant. It remains stagnant. It has limitations. And so that's what's
has limitations. And so that's what's what's missing in crypto as well is we
what's missing in crypto as well is we we we need an operating system to take
we we need an operating system to take us to the next level. Um we need unity.
us to the next level. Um we need unity. So that's all I'll say to that. you
So that's all I'll say to that. you know, just look at kind of like look at
know, just look at kind of like look at our actions, look at look at the actual
our actions, look at look at the actual tangible things that we're doing and let
tangible things that we're doing and let that kind of be a testament of of truth
that kind of be a testament of of truth in a sense. Um, hopefully that answers
in a sense. Um, hopefully that answers your question, my friend.
Uh, okay guys, there's quite a few quite a few questions here. I'm going to try
a few questions here. I'm going to try to like get through them faster because,
to like get through them faster because, you know, we're kind of on a a time
you know, we're kind of on a a time schedule here. Uh Dennis when Lambo asks
schedule here. Uh Dennis when Lambo asks any news about TGE? Um I already
any news about TGE? Um I already answered it my friend. Um again it's
answered it my friend. Um again it's it's really focused on um securing top
it's really focused on um securing top tier uh partnerships. Our conversations
tier uh partnerships. Our conversations are progressing really well but um we
are progressing really well but um we just need your patience in the meantime.
just need your patience in the meantime. Um love the black aesthetic and rebrand.
Um love the black aesthetic and rebrand. Can we have a black profile pick
Can we have a black profile pick background? You absolutely can my
background? You absolutely can my friend. I will be working on those in
friend. I will be working on those in the next couple of days.
the next couple of days. Um Jason said, "What upcoming incentives
Um Jason said, "What upcoming incentives and events are we to expect from the
and events are we to expect from the boss team for the ecosystem and
boss team for the ecosystem and community?" Um
community?" Um here's the thing, guys. Um with that is
here's the thing, guys. Um with that is I there are certain things that I can
I there are certain things that I can make an announcement for before the
make an announcement for before the actual announcement itself. Do you know
actual announcement itself. Do you know what I mean? But there are also things
what I mean? But there are also things that I can't make an announcement for
that I can't make an announcement for before the actual announcement goes out.
before the actual announcement goes out. Do you get my drift? It's like I I
Do you get my drift? It's like I I there's a lot of people in the community
there's a lot of people in the community that want an announcement before an
that want an announcement before an announcement. Unfortunately, that's not
announcement. Unfortunately, that's not how the cryptocurrency space works.
how the cryptocurrency space works. That's just it's it's it just doesn't
That's just it's it's it just doesn't make sense because things change um on
make sense because things change um on on a daily basis. And so we can't give
on a daily basis. And so we can't give announcements before announcements. So,
announcements before announcements. So, do we have, you know, incentives and um
do we have, you know, incentives and um events that are that you guys can
events that are that you guys can expect? Absolutely, my friend. I mean,
expect? Absolutely, my friend. I mean, just look at the course of the last like
just look at the course of the last like couple of months from, you know, the
couple of months from, you know, the airdrop campaign to the OKX Cryptopedia
airdrop campaign to the OKX Cryptopedia campaign, uh all the all the other
campaign, uh all the all the other incentives, so on and so forth. Just
incentives, so on and so forth. Just take that as again, take that as truth
take that as again, take that as truth and know that we absolutely have like a
and know that we absolutely have like a lot of things planned for you guys. Um,
lot of things planned for you guys. Um, a lot of exciting things. promise you
a lot of exciting things. promise you that. Um, on my end, I'll be I'll be

sovereign token listed on top tier um, sexes or deexes? Uh, that's a good
sexes or deexes? Uh, that's a good question. Um, I'm going to be honest. A
question. Um, I'm going to be honest. A lot of people say that, uh, you know,
lot of people say that, uh, you know, the sovereign team is the same team as
the sovereign team is the same team as boss, but that's not necessarily true.
boss, but that's not necessarily true. Um, I wouldn't I wouldn't I wouldn't go

So, they're they're part of the, uh, they're part of Sovereign. And uh we
they're part of Sovereign. And uh we definitely obviously have like
definitely obviously have like communications with Sovereign because um
communications with Sovereign because um you know Sovereign incubated the
you know Sovereign incubated the research and development that went into
research and development that went into boss we are you know very close but to
boss we are you know very close but to say it's the same team is not accurate.

don't want to mislead you. Um, but I do know that, you know, um, as a result of
know that, you know, um, as a result of charms and as a result of boss, there's
charms and as a result of boss, there's a lot more opportunity that's going to
a lot more opportunity that's going to be flowing to Sovereign as a result. So,
be flowing to Sovereign as a result. So, that's all I can say.

well. Um, here's okay. For those that bought the pre-sale token late,
bought the pre-sale token late, how can they claim the boss verified
how can they claim the boss verified role since those roles are no longer
role since those roles are no longer available?
available? Um,
Um, that's a good question. At the moment,
that's a good question. At the moment, you can't. Um, and and just to give you
you can't. Um, and and just to give you guys context of like what that is, the
guys context of like what that is, the boss verified role and the boss verified
boss verified role and the boss verified two role was given to those who
two role was given to those who purchased uh, you know, parttook, I
purchased uh, you know, parttook, I don't know if that's a word, parttook,
don't know if that's a word, parttook, pre-take, whatever. I'm having a brain
pre-take, whatever. I'm having a brain fart moment. Uh, in the pre-sale, uh,
fart moment. Uh, in the pre-sale, uh, either phase one or phase two and then
either phase one or phase two and then that was given to them so that they
that was given to them so that they could get extra points for the airdrop.
could get extra points for the airdrop. Of course, the airdrop is no longer the
Of course, the airdrop is no longer the airdrop campaign is no longer live. And
airdrop campaign is no longer live. And so um
so um so with that being said, the boss
so with that being said, the boss verified role has not necessarily like
verified role has not necessarily like you know we haven't bring been bringing

for those of you that don't don't know, like Lord Dre has been supporting us for
like Lord Dre has been supporting us for a while and he comes up as a speaker
a while and he comes up as a speaker just so that he gives exposure to uh to
just so that he gives exposure to uh to his community. So, I I I respect that
his community. So, I I I respect that highly. Um, so to answer this question,
highly. Um, so to answer this question, I'm going to repeat it again. How might
I'm going to repeat it again. How might Bitcoin's recent innovations like the
Bitcoin's recent innovations like the ZKBTC token and trustless trustless
ZKBTC token and trustless trustless bridges influence institutional adoption
bridges influence institutional adoption of Bitcoin um for tokenized assets? So,
of Bitcoin um for tokenized assets? So, I'm going to be honest with you guys.
I'm going to be honest with you guys. I'm not I don't know everything. I
I'm not I don't know everything. I really don't know much. Like I really I
really don't know much. Like I really I I try to like learn as much as I can
I try to like learn as much as I can about this space. Um, but you know, you
about this space. Um, but you know, you to to possibly learn everything and to
to to possibly learn everything and to possibly have an opinion on everything,
possibly have an opinion on everything, an idea on everything is just, you know,
an idea on everything is just, you know, you're kind of like lying to yourself.
you're kind of like lying to yourself. Um, so the only thing that I can really
Um, so the only thing that I can really comment on with this and and this is a
comment on with this and and this is a really great question for Yago is ZKBTC,
really great question for Yago is ZKBTC, right, is basically BTC,
right, is basically BTC, but it's wrapped into a charm, right?
but it's wrapped into a charm, right? And it's going to make it programmable.
And it's going to make it programmable. Right. So, Bitcoin at this very moment
Right. So, Bitcoin at this very moment in time is simply a peer-to-p peer
in time is simply a peer-to-p peer payment system and pretty much a store
payment system and pretty much a store of value, right? It's limited to these
of value, right? It's limited to these elements. We we do not have
elements. We we do not have programmability that's taking place at
programmability that's taking place at the moment like we see on Ethereum and
the moment like we see on Ethereum and Salana, so on and so forth, right? Um,
Salana, so on and so forth, right? Um, so it's basically we have Bitcoin that
so it's basically we have Bitcoin that is essentially sitting dormant for all
is essentially sitting dormant for all these years, right? We I think we're at
these years, right? We I think we're at like almost like $2.3 trillion now. I
like almost like $2.3 trillion now. I remember when we were talking about this
remember when we were talking about this concept, uh, you know, Bitcoin was at
concept, uh, you know, Bitcoin was at like 1.8 or 1.9T. We're sitting at a
like 1.8 or 1.9T. We're sitting at a $2.3 trillion market cap at this very
$2.3 trillion market cap at this very moment in time, but it's dormant, right?
moment in time, but it's dormant, right? Bitcoin is pretty much dormant. You
Bitcoin is pretty much dormant. You cannot do much with your Bitcoin. And if
cannot do much with your Bitcoin. And if there are opportunities for you to do
there are opportunities for you to do things with your Bitcoin, it's not
things with your Bitcoin, it's not trustless. And so we're bringing in not
trustless. And so we're bringing in not only programmability so that you're able
only programmability so that you're able to do more with your Bitcoin, you're
to do more with your Bitcoin, you're able to earn on your Bitcoin, you're
able to earn on your Bitcoin, you're able to uh take loans out on your
able to uh take loans out on your Bitcoin, um you're able to uh
Bitcoin, um you're able to uh trustlessly um
trustlessly um kind of like like create trustless
kind of like like create trustless interactions with your Bitcoin. Um,
interactions with your Bitcoin. Um, having a brain fart moment here, but um,
having a brain fart moment here, but um, Bitcoin is now going to be able to live
Bitcoin is now going to be able to live natively on all UTXO based chains,
natively on all UTXO based chains, right? So, we're as what we're basically
right? So, we're as what we're basically doing is we're bringing Bitcoin's
doing is we're bringing Bitcoin's liquidity that's been sitting dormant to
liquidity that's been sitting dormant to all these other chains, right? So, we're
all these other chains, right? So, we're bringing it to Cardano. Now Cardano is
bringing it to Cardano. Now Cardano is going to get access to Bitcoin's
going to get access to Bitcoin's liquidity or we can bring Cardano to
liquidity or we can bring Cardano to Bitcoin and now Cardano is going to have
Bitcoin and now Cardano is going to have access to Bitcoin's liquidity, right?
access to Bitcoin's liquidity, right? Litecoin is going to have access to
Litecoin is going to have access to Bitcoin's liquidity. So there's a lot of
Bitcoin's liquidity. So there's a lot of elements that are kind of um
elements that are kind of um kind of being worked out over here. So
kind of being worked out over here. So we have the programmability aspect so
we have the programmability aspect so that you can actually do more with your
that you can actually do more with your Bitcoin and then we have this
Bitcoin and then we have this interoperability aspect and giving all
interoperability aspect and giving all these other chains exposure to Bitcoin's
these other chains exposure to Bitcoin's liquidity. Um, so, you know, in terms of
liquidity. Um, so, you know, in terms of in terms of um, you know, institutional
in terms of um, you know, institutional adoption, I think that's where, you
adoption, I think that's where, you know, that's where we're going to kind
know, that's where we're going to kind of see like things get played out
of see like things get played out because institutions
because institutions um, at this very moment in time when it
um, at this very moment in time when it comes to their Bitcoin, um, they either
comes to their Bitcoin, um, they either just buy and hold and they don't do
just buy and hold and they don't do anything with it. One, because they
anything with it. One, because they can't, or two, because it's not
can't, or two, because it's not trustless, guys. Like if I want to
trustless, guys. Like if I want to bridge my Bitcoin from one chain to
bridge my Bitcoin from one chain to another, what typically happens is it
another, what typically happens is it goes into a vault and that vault is
goes into a vault and that vault is secured by a custodian. It's secured by
secured by a custodian. It's secured by literally an individual, right? And that
literally an individual, right? And that means that I'm trusting somebody else
means that I'm trusting somebody else with my Bitcoin. And typically a lot of
with my Bitcoin. And typically a lot of these institutions, they don't have one
these institutions, they don't have one Bitcoin. they have thousands of Bitcoin,
Bitcoin. they have thousands of Bitcoin, you know, and whenever they're making
you know, and whenever they're making these types of transactions, you know,
these types of transactions, you know, they're they're gambling with, you know,
they're they're gambling with, you know, they're risking a lot. And we have seen
they're risking a lot. And we have seen time and time again that this specific
time and time again that this specific model, right, where you trust a
model, right, where you trust a custodian with your Bitcoin or you trust
custodian with your Bitcoin or you trust a custodian with your assets, we have
a custodian with your assets, we have seen time and time again that this
seen time and time again that this system specifically has been prone to
system specifically has been prone to compromise. If you look at um the Ronin
compromise. If you look at um the Ronin bridge, Harmony's horizon bridge for
bridge, Harmony's horizon bridge for example, they have followed this same
example, they have followed this same custodianbased
custodianbased system and have failed
system and have failed have been hacked for millions and
have been hacked for millions and millions of dollars. So um this is a
millions of dollars. So um this is a major issue right now for custo for for
major issue right now for custo for for institutional adoption is um being able
institutional adoption is um being able to do anything with your Bitcoin and
to do anything with your Bitcoin and then also trust. It's like even even if
then also trust. It's like even even if I have like $50 in Bitcoin, I don't want
I have like $50 in Bitcoin, I don't want to trust the custodian. I don't. I'm
to trust the custodian. I don't. I'm sorry. Like, you know, you're you're
sorry. Like, you know, you're you're really banking on the individual. Like,
really banking on the individual. Like, you're banking on the individual. And
you're banking on the individual. And the individual can make mistakes, but
the individual can make mistakes, but guess what can't make mistakes, my
guess what can't make mistakes, my friend? Mathematics, cryptography, and
friend? Mathematics, cryptography, and that is exactly what our system is
that is exactly what our system is using. And so I do believe that as soon
using. And so I do believe that as soon as there is
as there is an understanding of the tech that we've
an understanding of the tech that we've created um and yeah obviously an
created um and yeah obviously an understanding of the tech that we've
understanding of the tech that we've created. I do foresee um instit
created. I do foresee um instit institutional adoption of ZKBTC
institutional adoption of ZKBTC institutional adoption of our technology
institutional adoption of our technology because it's safe. It's absolutely safe
because it's safe. It's absolutely safe and you you you get to control you
and you you you get to control you essentially get to control like your um
essentially get to control like your um your assets, let's just say. But again,
your assets, let's just say. But again, my friend, uh that's definitely a
my friend, uh that's definitely a question for for Yago.
question for for Yago. Um and apologies if I'm kind of like
Um and apologies if I'm kind of like slowing down here, my friends. Um you
slowing down here, my friends. Um you know, answering questions back toback
know, answering questions back toback sometimes it can just it can become a
sometimes it can just it can become a little bit draining. Um,
little bit draining. Um, so the next question here, um,
so the next question here, um, the answer doesn't have to be boss
the answer doesn't have to be boss specific, but what are you looking
specific, but what are you looking forward to the most in say the next 5 to
forward to the most in say the next 5 to 10 years in the crypto space? Would love
10 years in the crypto space? Would love to hear from the team, too. For me, I
to hear from the team, too. For me, I really really hope and look forward to
really really hope and look forward to worldwide adoption, paying rent with
worldwide adoption, paying rent with crypto, paying for groceries. Um, I'm
crypto, paying for groceries. Um, I'm right there with you, my friend. Um, I
right there with you, my friend. Um, I also look on a on a personal level, I I
also look on a on a personal level, I I definitely look forward to worldwide
definitely look forward to worldwide adoption as well. I would love I would
adoption as well. I would love I would absolutely love to pay my rent with
absolutely love to pay my rent with crypto. Uh what's actually interesting
crypto. Uh what's actually interesting is um MetaMask um some of you might
is um MetaMask um some of you might know, some of you might not know, but
know, some of you might not know, but MetaMask like as of maybe like three or
MetaMask like as of maybe like three or so months ago, three four months ago,
so months ago, three four months ago, they came out with a with a card and you
they came out with a with a card and you can actually pay for a lot of your daily
can actually pay for a lot of your daily um just transactions in your everyday
um just transactions in your everyday life with your MetaMask card. And so you
life with your MetaMask card. And so you can, you know, um, put USDC in there,
can, you know, um, put USDC in there, you could put USDT in there, and then
you could put USDT in there, and then you could pay for your groceries with
you could pay for your groceries with your MetaMask card. Uh, now a feature
your MetaMask card. Uh, now a feature that they're actually going to enable in
that they're actually going to enable in the coming months, I think Q4 they said,
the coming months, I think Q4 they said, is you're actually going to be able to
is you're actually going to be able to pay for your rent with your MetaMask
pay for your rent with your MetaMask card, which is extremely exciting
card, which is extremely exciting because I would absolutely love to do
because I would absolutely love to do that. I would rather hold all my assets
that. I would rather hold all my assets um as or all my money as as a crypto
um as or all my money as as a crypto asset and and not have to hold in fiat
asset and and not have to hold in fiat currency whatsoever. Um obviously
currency whatsoever. Um obviously there's there's such a major
there's there's such a major depreciating value of of fiat currency.
depreciating value of of fiat currency. So um that's me too. I'm I'm on the same
So um that's me too. I'm I'm on the same page with with um worldwide adoption.
page with with um worldwide adoption. And another thing that I look forward to
And another thing that I look forward to as well is an end to fragmentation.
as well is an end to fragmentation. As we say time and time again, so many
As we say time and time again, so many issues come as a result of fragmentation
issues come as a result of fragmentation in the space. And for me, one of the
in the space. And for me, one of the biggest things is the scams and
biggest things is the scams and fraudulent activity that takes place in
fraudulent activity that takes place in the space because that is also going to
the space because that is also going to be something that's a major limitation
be something that's a major limitation in user adoption, right? If we have a a
in user adoption, right? If we have a a space that's a cesspool of like
space that's a cesspool of like toxicity, that's a cesspool of scams and
toxicity, that's a cesspool of scams and hacks and all that kind of stuff, it's
hacks and all that kind of stuff, it's really it's really difficult to to get
really it's really difficult to to get user adoption because what's going to
user adoption because what's going to happen is people are going to come in,
happen is people are going to come in, they're going to get scammed, and
they're going to get scammed, and they're going to get turned away from
they're going to get turned away from it. So, I'm really looking forward to um
it. So, I'm really looking forward to um to an ecosystem that's united, to an
to an ecosystem that's united, to an ecosystem where the user journey is
ecosystem where the user journey is easy, the user journey is mapped out,
easy, the user journey is mapped out, it's streamlined, everybody is able to
it's streamlined, everybody is able to be on boarded um with ease. Um and as a
be on boarded um with ease. Um and as a result of this unification, right, um we
result of this unification, right, um we have less scams, we have less hacks, you
have less scams, we have less hacks, you know, people are more aware of things
know, people are more aware of things that are going on. Um so, that's that's
that are going on. Um so, that's that's ultimately what I'm looking forward to.
ultimately what I'm looking forward to. But Eric, what about you? like is there
But Eric, what about you? like is there anything that you're looking forward to
anything that you're looking forward to in the next 5 10 years within the crypto
in the next 5 10 years within the crypto space?
space? You know, it's funny. I this is probably
You know, it's funny. I this is probably the question that I like people ask me a
the question that I like people ask me a lot about. I think maybe come from a
lot about. I think maybe come from a place of like not having as much like
place of like not having as much like past experience. I'm I'm by no means a
past experience. I'm I'm by no means a den, but I think um you know maybe the
den, but I think um you know maybe the perspective interesting because I came
perspective interesting because I came into this space and I've only worked
into this space and I've only worked professionally in this space for Bitcoin
professionally in this space for Bitcoin projects.
projects. So, oddly enough, in in contrast to most
So, oddly enough, in in contrast to most other people in web 3, like my expertise
other people in web 3, like my expertise is is limited uh primarily to Bitcoin,
is is limited uh primarily to Bitcoin, which is like the opposite of most. Um,
which is like the opposite of most. Um, so you know, having only worked for
so you know, having only worked for projects that work in like you like I
projects that work in like you like I used to work for the Mezzo team, you
used to work for the Mezzo team, you know, and they um, you know, they they
know, and they um, you know, they they just launched MUSD
just launched MUSD um, essentially collateralizing
um, essentially collateralizing Bitcoin u Bitcoin back loans uh, and and
Bitcoin u Bitcoin back loans uh, and and so so when when you're working in like
so so when when you're working in like with projects that that are are trying
with projects that that are are trying to create uh, programmability and
to create uh, programmability and scalability in Bitcoin and and you had
scalability in Bitcoin and and you had no prior like I was never in the
no prior like I was never in the casinos. I was never like doing stupid
casinos. I was never like doing stupid with my money and also you know I
with my money and also you know I guess some people were also doing smart
guess some people were also doing smart with their money. Um so it's ju
with their money. Um so it's ju it's just like
it's just like I'm excited to see
I'm excited to see um you know from my unique perspective
um you know from my unique perspective where
where sort of the financial landscape is going
sort of the financial landscape is going to end up. Um there's a lot of there's
to end up. Um there's a lot of there's still kind of a lot of uncertainty
still kind of a lot of uncertainty around this and uh some people are
around this and uh some people are trusting the process, some are chomping
trusting the process, some are chomping at the bit and some aren't buying it. Um
at the bit and some aren't buying it. Um but again, I don't have any background
but again, I don't have any background in sort of tradi or or or you know uh a
in sort of tradi or or or you know uh a a financial portfolio either digital or
a financial portfolio either digital or in you know the stock market. Um so I'm
in you know the stock market. Um so I'm I'm just kind of along for the ride
I'm just kind of along for the ride honestly. I like I said, I'm learning
honestly. I like I said, I'm learning more every day about about you know the
more every day about about you know the impact these can have um as you know
impact these can have um as you know also as an American it's a little bit of
also as an American it's a little bit of a different perspective as well a little
a different perspective as well a little bit more restricted in not only what we
bit more restricted in not only what we have access to but also um the progress
have access to but also um the progress that we can make at the same rate as
that we can make at the same rate as some of these other countries and so
some of these other countries and so it's uh yeah it's been eye opening I
it's uh yeah it's been eye opening I don't think there's any one thing that
don't think there's any one thing that I'm uh excited to see but just in
I'm uh excited to see but just in general just seeing how Bitcoin is going
general just seeing how Bitcoin is going to sort of transform form um how people
to sort of transform form um how people use their money.
use their money. Hell yeah. I like it. So, you're just
Hell yeah. I like it. So, you're just kind of like going with the flow and
kind of like going with the flow and kind of experiencing the space as it is,
kind of experiencing the space as it is, and I appreciate that. I respect that.
and I appreciate that. I respect that. Um let's see here.
Um let's see here. Um, there's a couple questions here that
Okay, Jane June asked, "How will the rebrand of Boss strengthen its ecosystem
rebrand of Boss strengthen its ecosystem and position it to drive broader
and position it to drive broader adoption of Bitcoin native DeFi,
adoption of Bitcoin native DeFi, particularly in terms of attracting devs
particularly in terms of attracting devs and integrating with other chain
and integrating with other chain blockchain networks like Cardano?" Um,
blockchain networks like Cardano?" Um, so
so that's an interesting question. Um,
that's an interesting question. Um, so
so kind of what I said before, right guys?
kind of what I said before, right guys? Like the rebrand is more than just this
Like the rebrand is more than just this design change. Um,
design change. Um, it's a testament to the new era that
it's a testament to the new era that Boss is stepping into. It's a testament
Boss is stepping into. It's a testament to the new era that the crypto ecosystem
to the new era that the crypto ecosystem is stepping into. Uh, a testament to the
is stepping into. Uh, a testament to the new era that Bitcoin is stepping into.
new era that Bitcoin is stepping into. So, you know, the rebrand is pretty much
So, you know, the rebrand is pretty much a reflection of this open invitation
a reflection of this open invitation into, like I said, a familiar yet
into, like I said, a familiar yet transformed setting, right? So that we
transformed setting, right? So that we can all come together and we can shape
can all come together and we can shape the future of this new internet of
the future of this new internet of value, right? So, that's that's kind of
value, right? So, that's that's kind of that's kind of the goal with the rebrand
that's kind of the goal with the rebrand is it's an open invitation. It's it's a
is it's an open invitation. It's it's a testament to the fact that we're coming
testament to the fact that we're coming together, we're building together, and
together, we're building together, and we're stepping into a new a new era
we're stepping into a new a new era within the cryptocurrency space. So, um,
within the cryptocurrency space. So, um, so that's that's pretty much all I can
so that's that's pretty much all I can answer to that. In terms of driving
answer to that. In terms of driving broader adoption of Bitcoin, native
broader adoption of Bitcoin, native DeFi, and attracting developers, I don't
DeFi, and attracting developers, I don't think that's the purpose of the rebrand
think that's the purpose of the rebrand necessarily. It's more so just a a
necessarily. It's more so just a a symbolism. It's a testament to the new
symbolism. It's a testament to the new era that we're stepping into
era that we're stepping into collectively. Um, uh, you know, it's
collectively. Um, uh, you know, it's it's a new era where we're we're going
it's a new era where we're we're going to cocreate and connect and shape the
to cocreate and connect and shape the future of Bitcoin, shape the future of
future of Bitcoin, shape the future of crypto together. So, it's not it's not
crypto together. So, it's not it's not so much about like adoption. It's not so
so much about like adoption. It's not so much about attracting developers of any
much about attracting developers of any kind. It's more so just like a
kind. It's more so just like a statement.
statement. Hopefully, that answers your question.
Hopefully, that answers your question. Um,
Hamist said, "No questions here. Just keep crushing it. We're rooting for you
keep crushing it. We're rooting for you every step of the way. It's not how far,
every step of the way. It's not how far, but how well. Keep building. Thank you
but how well. Keep building. Thank you so much, my friend. You're awesome. We
so much, my friend. You're awesome. We love you. Appreciate your support
love you. Appreciate your support always."
always." Okay guys, I'm ending at
Okay guys, I'm ending at um I'm ending honestly here. like the
um I'm ending honestly here. like the questions keep coming in and
questions keep coming in and unfortunately like my brain capacity has
unfortunately like my brain capacity has is is lessening here. Um I'm I'm kind of
is is lessening here. Um I'm I'm kind of like slowing down. Um so I'm going to
like slowing down. Um so I'm going to I'm going to answer like three questions
I'm going to answer like three questions randomly. Okay, three questions
randomly. Okay, three questions randomly. Um we've already answered
randomly. Um we've already answered questions about TGE so you know TGE and
questions about TGE so you know TGE and any information around that. So I'm not
any information around that. So I'm not going to answer that. Um Earl 400 said,
going to answer that. Um Earl 400 said, "Are there any partnerships with Handle
"Are there any partnerships with Handle to use with or in the ecosystem?"
to use with or in the ecosystem?" We are in talks with Handle. Um we are
We are in talks with Handle. Um we are very close with H the Handle team. Um
very close with H the Handle team. Um we actually I don't I'm not sure if you
we actually I don't I'm not sure if you guys know this or not, but when we had
guys know this or not, but when we had our first charms demo where we beamed um
our first charms demo where we beamed um XBC XBTC, at the time we were calling it
XBC XBTC, at the time we were calling it XBTC, it's now being called ZKBTC. And
XBTC, it's now being called ZKBTC. And the reason for that shift, by the way,
the reason for that shift, by the way, is because OKX came out with like a a
is because OKX came out with like a a token that's called XBTC. So, um,
token that's called XBTC. So, um, uh, I I I don't know if you guys
uh, I I I don't know if you guys remember this, but, uh, when we had our
remember this, but, uh, when we had our first demo of the Bitcoin to Cardano
first demo of the Bitcoin to Cardano like beaming transactions with charms,
like beaming transactions with charms, handle was very much a part of that. Um,
handle was very much a part of that. Um, so like I said, we are in talks with
so like I said, we are in talks with them. We are um, we have connections
them. We are um, we have connections with them. We are very close with them.
with them. We are very close with them. And then I will say that you guys can
And then I will say that you guys can expect something very very very
expect something very very very exciting. Uh I can't I can't say what
exciting. Uh I can't I can't say what but you guys can expect something very
but you guys can expect something very exciting to actually do with handle
exciting to actually do with handle itself. That's all I can share for now.
itself. That's all I can share for now. Uh if anything changes in terms of like
Uh if anything changes in terms of like actually using handles within the
actually using handles within the ecosystem. Um I will definitely let you
ecosystem. Um I will definitely let you guys know. Um I might be able to share
guys know. Um I might be able to share some information in the next community
some information in the next community call actually.
So, Bitcoin boss said, "When a Bitcoin is wrapped via charms and moved natively
is wrapped via charms and moved natively off to another chain, does that
off to another chain, does that effectively change the Bitcoin supply?
effectively change the Bitcoin supply? If so, what is stopping bad actors from
If so, what is stopping bad actors from completely manipulating the Bitcoin
completely manipulating the Bitcoin supply?" No, it does not, my friend. So,
supply?" No, it does not, my friend. So, if I were to take Bitcoin and I were to
if I were to take Bitcoin and I were to wrap it as a charm, right, it actually
wrap it as a charm, right, it actually leaves the chain and let's say I'm
leaves the chain and let's say I'm trying to beam it to Cardano, it
trying to beam it to Cardano, it actually leaves the chain completely and
actually leaves the chain completely and it moves with everything that is um
it moves with everything that is um assigned to it, right? All the
assigned to it, right? All the information that's actually assigned to
information that's actually assigned to Bitcoin, right? Um to the actual like
Bitcoin, right? Um to the actual like token, to the actual standard itself. So
token, to the actual standard itself. So uh it's not going to affect the supply
uh it's not going to affect the supply whatsoever because what happens is
whatsoever because what happens is whenever you wrap um like a token in a
whenever you wrap um like a token in a charm uh it's recursive which means that
charm uh it's recursive which means that its history completely travels with
its history completely travels with itself. And so because its history can
itself. And so because its history can completely travel with itself. No, we're
completely travel with itself. No, we're not going to see any uh we're not going
not going to see any uh we're not going to you know see a change in the Bitcoin
to you know see a change in the Bitcoin supply. The only change we would see if
supply. The only change we would see if there's is is any regular change that
there's is is any regular change that you would see which is like if
you would see which is like if transactions are taking place then of
transactions are taking place then of course there's going to be a change in
course there's going to be a change in change in the supply and and well the
change in the supply and and well the supply is fixed but I just mean more so
supply is fixed but I just mean more so in like liquidity being exchanged or
in like liquidity being exchanged or moving up like you know moving in
moving up like you know moving in different directions if that makes
different directions if that makes sense. Um, but there's going to be no
sense. Um, but there's going to be no um, from my understanding there's
um, from my understanding there's there's there's really no need to stop
there's there's really no need to stop any bad actors from manipulating the
any bad actors from manipulating the Bitcoin supply because again that's just
Bitcoin supply because again that's just not how it works. Um, the history
not how it works. Um, the history travels with itself. So, Bitcoin remains
travels with itself. So, Bitcoin remains the same throughout.
the same throughout. Um,
let's see. Um,
Um, sorry, my dog is about to lose her mind.
sorry, my dog is about to lose her mind. Just letting you guys know.
Just letting you guys know. My question is, with the recent rebrand
My question is, with the recent rebrand to Bitcoin OS and growing partnerships
to Bitcoin OS and growing partnerships across major chains, how will the
across major chains, how will the ecosystem expand to make Bitcoin the
ecosystem expand to make Bitcoin the core settlement layer for a truly
core settlement layer for a truly interoperable blockchain world? Let me
interoperable blockchain world? Let me reread that. And my question is, with
reread that. And my question is, with the recent rebrand to Bitcoin OS and
the recent rebrand to Bitcoin OS and growing partnerships across major
growing partnerships across major chains,
chains, how will the ecosystem expand to make
how will the ecosystem expand to make Bitcoin the core settlement layer for a
Bitcoin the core settlement layer for a truly interoperable blockchain world?
truly interoperable blockchain world? So, that's that's a pretty good
So, that's that's a pretty good question, my friend. Um,
question, my friend. Um, I'm going to be honest, Yaga would
I'm going to be honest, Yaga would probably be the best to answer that
probably be the best to answer that question. Um, and like I said, he's he's
question. Um, and like I said, he's he's out of office, so I I would rather I
out of office, so I I would rather I would honestly rather he addresses that.
would honestly rather he addresses that. Um, you know, I I want to answer this
Um, you know, I I want to answer this question, but right now my brain is just
question, but right now my brain is just like turning into soup, and I'm I'm kind
like turning into soup, and I'm I'm kind of struggling to like piece information
of struggling to like piece information together. So, um, all I can say is in
together. So, um, all I can say is in terms of making Bitcoin the core
terms of making Bitcoin the core settlement layer, um, what we're
settlement layer, um, what we're actually doing is slightly a little bit
actually doing is slightly a little bit different than that. We're actually
different than that. We're actually making um all UTXOs kind of like the
making um all UTXOs kind of like the settlement layer. So, we're kind of
settlement layer. So, we're kind of creating like this UTXO superchain
creating like this UTXO superchain alliance, right, with between um between
alliance, right, with between um between Litecoin, between Bitcoin, between
Litecoin, between Bitcoin, between Cardano, um with obviously hopes to
Cardano, um with obviously hopes to expand to other UTXO chains as well,
expand to other UTXO chains as well, kind of like like Doge. I believe Monero
kind of like like Doge. I believe Monero is also a UTXO chain. Um there's a few
is also a UTXO chain. Um there's a few others as well. Um, so the goal is to
others as well. Um, so the goal is to kind of create this like super uh this
kind of create this like super uh this superchain alliance, this UTXO alliance
superchain alliance, this UTXO alliance and to have that kind of be like the
and to have that kind of be like the foundational core settlement layer for
foundational core settlement layer for um for uh for pretty much the entire
um for uh for pretty much the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem. So eventually
cryptocurrency ecosystem. So eventually the goal for us is to expand to the
the goal for us is to expand to the entire crypto ecosystem so that every
entire crypto ecosystem so that every everything can kind of come back home to
everything can kind of come back home to this settlement layer, right? We
this settlement layer, right? We obviously know that um Bitcoin is the
obviously know that um Bitcoin is the most securest network. Like we know this
most securest network. Like we know this for a fact. Um it has like the absolute
for a fact. Um it has like the absolute best security. And so um we basically
best security. And so um we basically want everybody to kind of like be
want everybody to kind of like be connected to Bitcoin. We want everybody
connected to Bitcoin. We want everybody to have access to Bitcoin security, but
to have access to Bitcoin security, but we also want everybody to have access to
we also want everybody to have access to Bitcoin's liquidity, right? Because it's
Bitcoin's liquidity, right? Because it's been sitting dormant. And so the entire
been sitting dormant. And so the entire goal of our operating system that we've
goal of our operating system that we've created is to create interoperability so
created is to create interoperability so that the entire crypto ecosystem can
that the entire crypto ecosystem can plug into Bitcoin and not only get
plug into Bitcoin and not only get access to its security but also um its
access to its security but also um its liquidity as well, right? There's no
liquidity as well, right? There's no reason why $2.4 trillion should be
reason why $2.4 trillion should be sitting there dormant. Um people should
sitting there dormant. Um people should be able to actually like move their
be able to actually like move their Bitcoin and use their Bitcoin within
Bitcoin and use their Bitcoin within other ecosystems. Um right. so that we
other ecosystems. Um right. so that we don't have siloed liquidity, we don't
don't have siloed liquidity, we don't have fragmentation.
have fragmentation. Um, and then um,
Um, and then um, yeah, hopefully that answers that. And I
yeah, hopefully that answers that. And I did want to also comment on something
did want to also comment on something interesting. Uh, Jimmy Shaker had said,
interesting. Uh, Jimmy Shaker had said, you know, how do you guys plan on like
you know, how do you guys plan on like moving forward forward with like trust,
moving forward forward with like trust, right, and like honesty? So one thing
right, and like honesty? So one thing that we're doing um and I'm just like
that we're doing um and I'm just like remembering as I'm speaking here one
remembering as I'm speaking here one thing that one major issue with
thing that one major issue with fragmentation too is that
fragmentation too is that what happens tends to happen is that we
what happens tends to happen is that we have all these developers that's are
have all these developers that's are spread across like multiple ecosystems.
spread across like multiple ecosystems. Um we have all these developers that
Um we have all these developers that have to learn a new programming language
have to learn a new programming language because that chain requires you to learn
because that chain requires you to learn for example Haskell right or whatever it
for example Haskell right or whatever it might be. Um
might be. Um so with that um this also causes issues
so with that um this also causes issues right. So we need unity. We need
right. So we need unity. We need developers to be able to have um some
developers to be able to have um some kind of like universal um universal
kind of like universal um universal system so that they can build on
system so that they can build on different chains. And so with Charms,
different chains. And so with Charms, what we're doing is we're actually
what we're doing is we're actually creating like a system that's going to
creating like a system that's going to enable that where we're creating this
enable that where we're creating this system that's going to allow developers
system that's going to allow developers to be able to come in and no matter the
to be able to come in and no matter the language that they know to be able to
language that they know to be able to take the charms technology and um
take the charms technology and um utilize it. And at the moment, this is
utilize it. And at the moment, this is in the developer community, by the way,
in the developer community, by the way, this is like an ongoing problem where
this is like an ongoing problem where it's like how do you kind of how do you
it's like how do you kind of how do you create a universal language when there's
create a universal language when there's all these other different languages when
all these other different languages when it comes to like tech, right? Like you
it comes to like tech, right? Like you might open source something, but not
might open source something, but not everybody can use it because of the
everybody can use it because of the technology or because of the code. So,
technology or because of the code. So, it's like this is an ongoing problem in
it's like this is an ongoing problem in the dev community. Um, from my
the dev community. Um, from my understanding, the charms team has
understanding, the charms team has figured out a way to address that and
figured out a way to address that and combat that. So again, uh the reason why
combat that. So again, uh the reason why I bring this up is so that you can kind
I bring this up is so that you can kind of just look at our efforts and
of just look at our efforts and understand that everything that we're
understand that everything that we're doing is about unification
doing is about unification and um everything that's coming uh every
and um everything that's coming uh every every intention, every action that we
every intention, every action that we take is about genuinely about bringing
take is about genuinely about bringing people together, bringing the ecosystem
people together, bringing the ecosystem together and ultimately that's going to
together and ultimately that's going to have um effects on the entire crypto
have um effects on the entire crypto space, right? So
space, right? So um so yeah um that is pretty much it for
um so yeah um that is pretty much it for today my friends. Um let's see here.
today my friends. Um let's see here. Um okay so there's a lot of questions on
Um okay so there's a lot of questions on Discord guys and I I need you to be
Discord guys and I I need you to be patient please. Like I there's there's a
patient please. Like I there's there's a lot of like frustration around the
lot of like frustration around the sprint and there's a lot of frustration
sprint and there's a lot of frustration around like some of the roles that we
around like some of the roles that we have and so on and so forth. like please
have and so on and so forth. like please please be patient like I promise you
please be patient like I promise you that you will get an answer and um we we
that you will get an answer and um we we just have a space that's ongoing right
just have a space that's ongoing right now. Um in terms of I'm going to answer
now. Um in terms of I'm going to answer these final question in terms of the
these final question in terms of the roles
roles die hard roll was given on for to the
die hard roll was given on for to the top 100 of last ZLY sprint. You cannot
top 100 of last ZLY sprint. You cannot get it now but you will more than likely
get it now but you will more than likely be able some of you will be able to
be able some of you will be able to claim it at the end of this sprint.
claim it at the end of this sprint. Okay, this upcoming sprint. one that
Okay, this upcoming sprint. one that that is ongoing right now. The boss
that is ongoing right now. The boss verified role, the boss verified two
verified role, the boss verified two rule. That was for airdrop participants,
rule. That was for airdrop participants, people who um participated in the
people who um participated in the pre-sale. I may or may not be opening
pre-sale. I may or may not be opening this up. Again, stay tuned.
this up. Again, stay tuned. Uh
Uh there's also free XP gi being given to
there's also free XP gi being given to people who um are top 15 of the
people who um are top 15 of the leadership board on ZLY. These are
leadership board on ZLY. These are people who have just done general
people who have just done general quests, guys. This is not these are
quests, guys. This is not these are these are not people who have
these are not people who have participated in the sprint. they do
participated in the sprint. they do participate in the sprint as well, but
participate in the sprint as well, but it's it's people who just have been
it's it's people who just have been around for a very long time. I have to
around for a very long time. I have to give back to these people. I have to
give back to these people. I have to like if if you were in that person's
like if if you were in that person's like position, you would also want some
like position, you would also want some kind of incentive because you're you're
kind of incentive because you're you're the top of the leadership board and
the top of the leadership board and you've been supporting and advocating
you've been supporting and advocating for us for a very long time. It only
for us for a very long time. It only makes sense, right? So, one thing that
makes sense, right? So, one thing that I'm going to highlight here, my friends,
I'm going to highlight here, my friends, and what I mean by all of this is guys,
and what I mean by all of this is guys, we we try to cater to every single one
we we try to cater to every single one of you. Um, and we try to do the
of you. Um, and we try to do the absolute best that we can, and we just
absolute best that we can, and we just need your patience. Like, we need your
need your patience. Like, we need your patience and we need your understanding.
patience and we need your understanding. Please understand that we are humans as
Please understand that we are humans as well behind the screen. We're not some
well behind the screen. We're not some kind of like like I don't know like AI
kind of like like I don't know like AI robot that you guys assume that I am.
robot that you guys assume that I am. Uh, but we are not AI robots. We are not
Uh, but we are not AI robots. We are not AI agents. We don't, you know what I'm
AI agents. We don't, you know what I'm saying? It's like we are humans at the
saying? It's like we are humans at the end of the day. So, we just ask that you
end of the day. So, we just ask that you are patient with us, please. Um, and
are patient with us, please. Um, and please understand that it's like, you
please understand that it's like, you know, we do something and we can't win
know, we do something and we can't win and then we offer something else and we
and then we offer something else and we also can't win. So, there's a lot of
also can't win. So, there's a lot of these situations taking place where we
these situations taking place where we we listen to you and we offer something
we listen to you and we offer something and we can't win and then we do the
and we can't win and then we do the opposite and then we also can't win,
opposite and then we also can't win, right? It's like we we cater to we give
right? It's like we we cater to we give XP for example in this situation. We
XP for example in this situation. We give you guys XP for people who have you
give you guys XP for people who have you know collected different roles within
know collected different roles within the community and you know we're we're
the community and you know we're we're pleasing that crowd but then there's
pleasing that crowd but then there's people coming in they're like I can't
people coming in they're like I can't get those roles and now I'm upset and so
get those roles and now I'm upset and so we can't please that crowd. So it's like
we can't please that crowd. So it's like you see what I'm trying to say here is
you see what I'm trying to say here is like it's really hard to like win. It's
like it's really hard to like win. It's really hard to win but we are absolutely
really hard to win but we are absolutely trying our best. I promise you that. I
trying our best. I promise you that. I will always do whatever I can within the
will always do whatever I can within the community to uh to to create as much
community to uh to to create as much much fairness as I possibly can for you
much fairness as I possibly can for you guys and opportunity. Um and please do
guys and opportunity. Um and please do remember that Bitcoin like Bitcoin OS
remember that Bitcoin like Bitcoin OS like boss like we we're more than just
like boss like we we're more than just incentives guys at the end of the day
incentives guys at the end of the day like we're building hard tech. We are
like we're building hard tech. We are building things that have not been built
building things that have not been built before. Look at the BLS12 ZKVM that
before. Look at the BLS12 ZKVM that we're building for the Cardano
we're building for the Cardano integration, right? Um, we actually not
integration, right? Um, we actually not even Cardano integration. It's it's
even Cardano integration. It's it's beyond just a Cardano integration. It's
beyond just a Cardano integration. It's the fact that nobody uses there is
the fact that nobody uses there is currently no such thing as a BLS2
currently no such thing as a BLS2 compatible ZKVM. We are building the
compatible ZKVM. We are building the very first one, right? So like please
very first one, right? So like please keep in mind that we are so much more
keep in mind that we are so much more than just incentives and campaigns and
than just incentives and campaigns and USDC rewards and so on and so forth. And
USDC rewards and so on and so forth. And I implore you as also as a crypto um as
I implore you as also as a crypto um as a member of like the cryptocurrency
a member of like the cryptocurrency space, I implore that, you know, you
space, I implore that, you know, you don't just jump from project to project
don't just jump from project to project because there's incentives. Um you know,
because there's incentives. Um you know, you're not really doing the due
you're not really doing the due diligence for yourself. Um you're kind
diligence for yourself. Um you're kind of playing yourself at the end of the
of playing yourself at the end of the day because there's so much more that's
day because there's so much more that's going on in the space beyond just
going on in the space beyond just incentives, right? Um anybody who's
incentives, right? Um anybody who's stuck around in our community, they're
stuck around in our community, they're continuously learning. they're at
continuously learning. they're at they're continuously learning like I had
they're continuously learning like I had mentioned at the start of this call um
mentioned at the start of this call um people came in initially they had no
people came in initially they had no idea what zero knowledge proof
idea what zero knowledge proof technology is right and now they know
technology is right and now they know what ZKPs are and now when when it's
what ZKPs are and now when when it's mentioned across different projects
mentioned across different projects different spaces blogs articles things
different spaces blogs articles things of that nature now they're familiar with
of that nature now they're familiar with that and guess what my friends they're
that and guess what my friends they're elevating themselves they're growing
elevating themselves they're growing they're learning you know there's
they're learning you know there's there's so much learning opportunity
there's so much learning opportunity here so I I advise you that you know if
here so I I advise you that you know if you are simply just here for for the
you are simply just here for for the incentives, please, you know, push
incentives, please, you know, push yourself a little, you know, push
yourself a little, you know, push yourself to that next step. Um, and
yourself to that next step. Um, and just try to act as a sponge and, you
just try to act as a sponge and, you know, try to learn as much as you
know, try to learn as much as you possibly can because there's a lot of
possibly can because there's a lot of learning opportunities here. Um, but
learning opportunities here. Um, but with that being said, my friends, um, I
with that being said, my friends, um, I am slowing down significantly and, uh,
am slowing down significantly and, uh, it is Friday, guys, so I'm sure a lot of
it is Friday, guys, so I'm sure a lot of you want to, um, you know, log out, go

coming up in about 3 hours. Um, so please stay tuned for that. Would love
please stay tuned for that. Would love for you guys to participate. Like I
for you guys to participate. Like I said, I'll be giving you guys Zeli
said, I'll be giving you guys Zeli sprint uh sprint XP and Engage XP and
sprint uh sprint XP and Engage XP and then also stay tuned for an announcement
then also stay tuned for an announcement later today about the engage marketplace
later today about the engage marketplace opening up so that you can exchange your
opening up so that you can exchange your points for rewards. With that being
points for rewards. With that being said, my friends, uh just a quick shout
said, my friends, uh just a quick shout out to Eric. Thank you again, my friend,
out to Eric. Thank you again, my friend, for being here. Um I'm sure that the the
for being here. Um I'm sure that the the community really loved uh just hearing
community really loved uh just hearing from you and and you know, getting

love to you as always my friend. Um and uh yeah, just appreciate you
uh yeah, just appreciate you significantly.
significantly. With that, guys, as always, we end on a
With that, guys, as always, we end on a good note. Please go out this weekend
good note. Please go out this weekend and touch grass. Please go out in
and touch grass. Please go out in nature. Please meditate. Please practice
nature. Please meditate. Please practice mindfulness. Life is not about all about
mindfulness. Life is not about all about working. Life is not all about
working. Life is not all about cryptocurrency. It's not all about tech,
cryptocurrency. It's not all about tech, right? It's also about just like purely
right? It's also about just like purely living in the moment, which is something
living in the moment, which is something that a lot of us forget to do. So, um
