I love can you all hear me hello talking 2049 Make Some Noise people come on talking 2049 you've been waiting for this you've had you know the long day you've been partying too hot too much alcohol let's bring let's bring my bodies in here cause I'll be sharing with you about what we're bully got the sandbox open metaverse let's bring more people in here it's packing some energy and we'll be sharing with you what's going to be happening in the sandbox so in the next 15 minutes I'm about to do a sales pitch I'm not even going to be selling you more I'm really gonna be telling you how we're creating more Vision more volume and more value in the matter of us because I'll tell you why I've had an effing hot day today because I just put a do not resuscitate on my mother this morning and I'm here because I believe in what we're cold building right here in the open medivers so in the next 14 minutes because of my mother's daughter and she is in ICU right now and I'm here because I truly believe in what we're co-creating today so let's get started the metabus I think many of us already know what this is but I'm still going to go through and tell you why it's so important for us to engage in the metaverse because the true digital natives are coming of age and they're already amongst us they're working they're living amongst us and so that is why we have to engage with them I don't know if this is an accurate statistic because I can tell you that I spent 19 hours on my mobile device every day because every time I check it always says you've been on for 19 hours a day so this is also why we truly believe in the sandbox open metaverse that what we want to do is take a mobile first strategy because most of us anyone here with no cell phone please raise your hands okay point taken and most of us today don't just want to be sold to we don't just want to be passive consumers we want to be creators 75 of gen Z want to be creative and all of you are already created because you are taking a video you're posting it you're on YouTube you're you're on Instagram you're in Tick Tock you are already a creator and don't just take my word for it statistics show that we spent over 40 billion dollars on non-fungible tokens in 2022. so the Manifest is set to grow at a pace of 60 into a 5 trillion dollar industry again one is a matter of us I'm going to go through this in great depth but Matthew ball says it's going to be a massively skilled interoperable real-time 3D virtual world experience synchronously with an unlimited set of users individual sense of presence with history entitlements objects Communications payments we'll do a quiz at the end but what I really want to say is that we are already living the metaverse it's not about the Oculus it's not about buying more we're already here living the metaphors because we are already subscribing to digital worlds we already living Our Lives digitally here's a little sneak peek of what you can expect to see in the sandboxes Push Up the Volume let's go whoa crazy stop kind of like it though just a sad monkey it's an ape not sad board okay whatever whatever watch out okay A bit too much portal I dig it wow good nephew no way Paris Hilton oh little children in here yeah it's a birthday can't you see makes total sense you don't get it do ya who cares let's go [Music] people so I'm gonna skip through some of these slides and really take you to what it is that we're trying to build out we're trying to co-create a wet 3 space which is really about your identity your ownership greater interoperability and greater immersion we're going to break it down what is it that we do at small blur uh just as we had at a successful Nova event two or three days ago what we really want to do is to bring walls together we partner with unstoppable sandbox Ledger clay Nation as well as a host of Community Partners to bring walls together really we started over the pandemic because we realized that there was a need to bring creators into the space to create a space where you own your data you own the assets that you create because we're already putting so much of our Lives online so what we have done at smobla is that we bring Legacy Brands onto the space into a Community Driven platform where you can build and own and monetize your digital assets on the blockchain we have three verticals of businesses the metaphors builds digital experiences like 2049 as well as building game five if you want to find out more go speak to Kieran at the back he's a handsome gentleman with a man bun he's our game fire expert and you want to talk to us about building up metaverses go speak to Sharon she's in a purple hair uh don't just check my word for it these are all the clients that we brought on board from the Singapore government to the bhutanese government to Airbus to a host of other brands like DBS Etc so we truly believe in building a better verse and what we mean is by sticking to our ideals of inclusion diversity access Equity leadership love sustainability but more than that what we aim to do is to show you today some of the case studies it's not just more than I'm selling you but we are really wanting to tell you what it is that we have actually done we've actually successfully brought the first non-profit into the metaverse so by so doing we wanted to democratize crypto philanthropy so that we don't always have to go for old money but we could also open up philanthropy to a younger generation that want to give we've also set up the first sandbox Academy in Singapore and we're looking and hoping to do more collaborations so if anyone of you want to collaborate with us please come speak with us at the end of the seven minutes we also have a history initiative where I truly believe as a woman founder that I really want to teach women how to voxel by teaching them how to box so we're truly unlocking and getting them to understand digital asset creation ownership getting them interested in financial literacy and hopefully Financial Empowerment at a younger younger age since you're already going to be playing games anyway again if you're interested in that go speak with Sharon she's in the purple hair I think people are already walking up to my team to talk to them we've also garnered a 700 000 contract from the Singapore government because we truly believe in accessibility and we're building that an accessibility park for all our users why because I truly don't think that Stevie Wonder is a Stevie Wonder because he's a one-off many of us who have disabilities don't get a chance to become Superstars and that's exactly why we truly believe that we need to create accessibility because children can't be what they can't see so we need to enable walls where people can truly be who they are if you want to show up in a cane in a wheelchair in our metros you should absolutely be able to do that we also created the first wedding in the bed of us and we had Sebastian Bourget the CEO of the sandbox to officiate the wedding and this has garnered a lot of news so again don't take my word for it Google um sandbox wedding small blur and you'll find out a lot about that we also brought clay nation and Clay nation is the biggest project on the cardano chain and because we are constantly pushing uh the margins and frontiers of interoperability we actually brought clay Nation onto the sandbox platform and we're building out their world the founders are here so if you want to speak to them come speak with us at the end of the room later and we can actually organize a Meetup we also created our own game Everest again Kieran is probably the best person to speak to so what we did was we create our own in-house game on the sandbox platform and how we made it special was that instead of just creating another sticky game challenging game and fun game which it obviously is we also added an educational element that got people to understand about the sherpa people about climate change about conservation making a meaningful game and generating Vision value and volume as we go again I think what we did was quite revolutionary and that in a short span of time for a game five game we actually was able to capture 10 000 unique players in a span of two weeks again if you want to find out how we did it and want to collaborate with us go speak to Kieran at the back of the hall let me just give you a sneak preview of Everest let's go you can turn up the volume again please foreign [Music] we also have created a bunch of other really cool games including bringing the entire bhutanese government onto the sandbox platform so here's a sneak little preview of Bhutan verse [Music] thank you [Music] foreign as well because we are definitely exploring how we can take the mativers into uh also more Realms of the walls that we're already exploring um and finally one other project I'm going to share with you about in the last two minutes is that we've also taken a best-selling nft project called Asian into the sandbox metaverse and we're also going to be co-creating a lot more fantastic projects including sponsoring our National Day Parade in Singapore as well as a play for good where we took over the entire P Center which will be coming down the next like 150 days if you've turned it into a space for gaming for youth culture for lots of exciting things where we encourage all of you to go try out Hands-On experiences at Peace Center as we like take over this entire space before it gets torn down so just in the last two minutes to tell you a little bit more about the sandbox we are of course a trusted partner of the sandbox and the first investee company in this part of the world it was what we aim to do together is to empower all of you create a generation to build new forms of experiences based on true digital ownership because we put so much of our lives there just think about it it is really like having trains without owning the train tracks so if you want to have better access to your own ownership and agency the thing to really think about is how do you begin to Envision a world with true digital asset creation and ownership so and in a sandbox in the last 90 seconds we really aim to create a unique culture because we truly believe that culture is what unites us we want to create interesting experiences that is relevant to you created by you owned by you and that's why it's on the blockchain we create real world economy and create interesting content so together uh we hope that you will come on board co-create with us there's a little bit more video here but I'm going to skip through this we can actually co-create walls like social Huts dance clubs concerts games work sessions Etc and also sandbox has already launched itself publishing so I'm just going to talk through this really quickly in the next 40 seconds but really what I want to encourage all of you to do is to come on board have a conversation with us because it always sets up a conversation so we can start playing discovering creating business together creating communities together and co-creating a bigger and brighter world together so like my last 30 seconds come party with with us you can party with Snoop and Gucci we truly believe in the open mad of us that we really want to put creativity first it's about value creation not value extraction it's about giving value to all of you you know the only two industries that use the word users are the technology industry and the drug industry so we really want to change that we don't want you to be just users we want you to be Community we also want to reward you and have you embrace the non-fungible token or digital collectible culture because we truly believe this is the future so with that I just want to leave you a little short note to never ever ever doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world because I truly believe it really is the only thing that ABBA has so let's build a better verse together with vision volume and value thank you have a wonderful token 2049 thank you
