Base Builder Friday: December 6, 2024

hello everybody we're gonna give folks a second to trickle in um so while we're waiting for folks maybe uh drop where you're calling in from in the chat we got Nigeria we got Texas hello Nigeria we got Korea let's go thank you for being up middle of the night 3:01 a.m. wow that's based um we got New York City we got Hungary let's go I saw that the The Budapest base Meetup looked awesome um New York City we got California we got La Bay Area China it looks like the person from China doesn't quite know what's going on here well we love you anyways thanks for being here we got Portugal San Diego Miami South Africa amazing Los Angeles Austria Singapore let's go thank you for being up in the middle of the night um we gotta we got to move one of these to be a little bit more time zone friendly we got India we got Chile we got New York City um more China Ecuador Kito Keno India la based around the world it really is so incredible um we have people I think from every continent I saw America North America South America Europe Africa Asia I guess we haven't seen anyone from Australia yet we got Brussels another Nigerian incredible so much energy um okay well let's dive in um the goal of this meeting do this uh every month and the reason why we do this meeting is to bring Builders together and to share what's top of mind for us share where we're going which hopefully give you a little bit more insight into where base is heading which will let you build better uh and then open up for questions so we can hear what's top mind for you uh we can figure out how we can help you build better um and so thank you all for showing up here in the middle of the night in the morning and the evening um it means the world to us we're so so grateful that you're here and we have a pretty stacked agenda so I'm going to first talk a little about some top of Mind things for me uh then I'm going to share some Reflections from the base around the world tour that we just did where we went to six different countries in 21 days and then going hand it over to Tina who's going to talk a little about an emerging trend on base uh which is people building agents and some of the tooling that's emerging to make it much easier for people to uh build agents on chain give them new superpowers um so it's a stacked agenda uh at the end of that we'll have time for questions so if you have a question um you can feel free to drop it in the chat as I'm going uh if I see it in the chat I'll try and just answer it in context um uh but in terms of uniking uh save that for the end uh that's going to let us kind of get through the agenda and then we'll have you know 15 20 minutes at the end for questions from everybody awesome okay so first off uh I always love starting these meetings with a reminder of why we're here when we all wake up every single morning why are we showing up to build on base and it all comes back to our mission and that is to build a global on train economy that increases Innovation creativity and freedom and you know we just had Thanksgiving in the United States and I think a lot of the time when people go to Thanksgiving they start talking with their family and historically folks have said hey I work in crypto and then I think you've got a lot of like skepticism there's been fear around speculation and fraud and this year the the base core team tried something different we all went home we said no we're working to build a global onchain economy that increases Innovation creativity and freedom and perhaps unsurprisingly that led to some different conversations um and it led to instead conversations about this new internet that we're building that all of us are building a new internet by the people for the people that's going to make the world a better place and when we build that new internet the mission the vision is that we bring the entire world into it a million Builders a billion users a TR billion dollars of asset the entire world on chain and so if people ask your why why are you building on base this is what you can tell them you can tell them that you're building a global onchain economy that's by the people that's for the people and that's going to massively increase Innovation creativity and freedom and so that's the one now the other thing that I really like to ground Us in is the how how are we showing up uh in terms of our values and how are we showing up in terms of our strategy to actually bring the world on chain on the value side uh we're showing up to be for everyone basis for everyone we want to be a bridge not an island to connect people to the entire onchain economy we want to be decentralized and open source and then of course we want to be based we want to stay based and this means being optimistic it means working hard it means putting the team over the individual means pushing boundaries with creativity uh and it means being based and so many people in this room now know what that means intuitively and are upholding that set of values which lets us all work better together so that's the first part of the how hey Morgan the second part of the how is the strategy this is what are the actual things that we need to do in order to build this global onchain economy and to bring the world onchain and we'd like to talk about the strategy in four parts first we need to build a really powerful developer platform that makes it possible for anyone to build onchain apps second we need to nurture that ecosystem of apps that people build so that there's a real reason for consumers and businesses to come on chain and enter the economy third when those people start to enter the economy we need to uh kind of create these vibrant 247 365 Global Capital markets that make base the center of the onchain economy and then finally the only way we can do those things is if we build a secure decentralized scalable platform that enables everyone else to build and so when you're waking up every day and you're thinking about how do I contribute to base how do I contribute to making this global onchain economy work you want to show up with these values and you want to figure out how does my work contribute to one of these strategic pillars because if all of us are aligned in that way we're going to be able to work more quickly together we're going to be able to uh contribute to building this thing together and I and and Neel just dropped a a chat in the in the chat but I actually think it's a pretty fun exercise maybe everyone can just think for a second about what they're working on and then share in the chat which pillar of the strategy you think what you're working on contributes to let's see if we got some people who are going to do that exercise some join me moonwell vibrant I was looking for Luke 100% moonwell uh fostering that deep Capital Market Toshi bll the centralizing and scaling I love it um uh bankit building that ecosystem of reasons for people to come on chain pacp building that deep Capital Market Carlos melgard decentralizing and scaling letting everyone come on chain I love the way folks are starting to think about how their work contributes to our overall strategy keep doing that um keep sharing feedback and it'll help us build better so that's the strategy that's the mission we're building a global onchain economy and all of you are part of it now I want to dock into a few things that are top mind for me uh and these are just things that I've been thinking about that I've also been sharing with our team um the first and this is a little bit hard to read because it's small is this idea that we're not just building the new economy with technology we are also building a new economy with culture because the current economy has uh kind of stagnated and the only way we can push through that is by building a new culture a based culture that can let us imagine the future in new ways this quote is from a book called boom that just got published um maybe someone can drop in chat but if you're looking to understand kind of how Innovation Works highly recommend uh checking out uh boom uh digging in learning reading and helping us think through how do we build a strong strong culture that's rooted in those values that can help us build a better economy together the second thing and Tina is going to talk a lot more about this is that we are building base and it's becoming the center of AI on chain you know in the last week we've seen AIX BT emerge as a market you know leader in terms of kol voice we've seen people start to do llc's from Agents we've seen this incredible fun game frasa it's happening and it's happening on Bas and we're super excited to talk about that in a second the third thing that's top of mind is that Bas is scaling um I don't know if folks have seen that but this is the uh total number of transactions uh on the left here so you can kind of see uh this number is just going up and to the right but at the same time these are the fees on the right and we're seeing a little bit too much fee increase and what that's telling us is that we need to scale faster there's more demand happening than the capacity that we've added and so I guess I just want to acknowledge to all the builders here we're proud of how much scaling we've done but we also know that gas fees make it harder for you to build great apps and it makes it harder for you to onor new people into the onchain economy and our top priority is making it so that gas fees are low so that everyone one can participate we did a 10% capacity increase this week we're going to do another capacity increase next week we're going to keep increasing capacity at faster and faster rates until we can bring the entire world on chain so we are not stopping we're going to keep building um okay sweet I'm gonna end that annotation G to keep moving and then the last thing and this is something I shared on Twitter as well but the base core team and I hope many of you we are in the middle of a three weeks break to close the year um we just had a little bit of arting charge for Thanksgiving and now we really want to set a tone for our community and for uh the the broader ecosystem and for ourselves of what does really really strong execution look like to close 2024 with a bang and what that's going to let us do is it's going to let us feel how it's going to feel in 2025 when we absolutely crush it week over week but what we're also going to earn with these three weeks of hard work is a little bit of a break at the end of the year we have Christmas week then we have New Year's week and the base team is actually going to rest in recharge for those two weeks and so it's a three-week Sprint now then a two we rest and recharge and then we're going to hit the ground running with a bang on January 5th ready to bring the entire world on chain my hope is that this framework this idea of Zone one through five is useful for y'all and that it it kind of helps give you a little bit of context on how we're pushing how we're taking a break so that all of us can work hard and rest hard together and thereby multiply our impact so we actually make a bigger impact by working hard together at the same times so take some rest I mean join us in this three-week Sprint take some rest over the holidays and then let's crush it in 2025 okay so that's put top of mine for me the next thing I want to dig into is uh some reflections from based around the world uh and if you didn't know me and about 14 other members of the base core team spent all of November traveling around the world we went from New York to Nairobi to Bangalore to bangok to Singapore then we did a quick stop in Malaysia that's actually not on this map and then we went to the Philippines six countries in 21 days we met thousands of Builders and we learned so much and I think the biggest takeaway for me was that there's just so much Builder energy in every single part of the world and there's so much based energy in every single part of the world now we didn't just do this buildon leading up to uh we didn't just do this world tour leading up to the buildon uh to the World Tour we also did a buildon we did a three-week buildon that had 2500 unique people participate in in four different regions Africa Latin America India and Southeast Asia and through that buildon we saw an incredible set of new Builders emerge and I want to just take a second to recognize all of these incredible Builders I I hope maybe some of them are on this call um but these folks heard the call they said based around the world the build aon's happening we need to build a product that impacts our local community and they stepped up and they did it and we ended up with uh I think like hundreds of projects and these were about 35 of the ones that um kind of were at the top of the pack um and so I just want to quickly like please everybody join me and let's just giving a huge round of applause to all of these Builders um I think it's just day one like a buildon is the beginning and so many of these things are already starting to turn into businesses and startups um and other kind of community Investments um but you got to start somewhere and I was super proud to see all these folks do that the next thing that want to share from the the buildon is it was so incredible getting to meet people in person um a lot of these countries I'd never been to before I'd spent a lot of time in Nairobi because my brother lives there uh but Bangalore Bangkok Singapore Malaysia Manila none of those places I'd ever been and when I was kind of going I wasn't sure what to expect would people show up were they going to be interested in base and the the results were kind of mind-blowing in every single City we had hundreds of Builders show up and be incredibly based they were telling us we are ready to bring the world on chain we're ready to build a global onchain economy that increases Innovation creativity and freedom we're here to build together and that feeling of being present and connected and grounded with people in their communities in their cities in their cultures I think it just ignited our energy and our excitement to be spending more time globally in 2025 because when you look at the data and you look at the the reality of where we are right now what we are seeing is that um even though I live in Berkeley California most base Builders live outside the US and they live totally across the world and so if Bas is going to be for everyone Bas needs to be totally across the world and so that's what we're going to be doing now what does that actually translate to First first I want to start with a few learnings and the first one I just talked through there's incredible energy from every single part of the world about building this onchain economy the second learning though is that oh uh the second learning is that there is uh an opportunity for us to invest more in platform infrastructure and support for Builders and you know we started doing this with build aons we do this with Builder Friday we have a lot of tooling like rounds and grants that we do but what we are hearing is that there's even more need for infrastructure and we're going to be investing in that in a big way in 2025 the third thing that we're hearing is that um stable coins and financial use cases and particularly local stable coins like a Kenyan Shilling and a Nigerian naira and a uh uh Thailand bot and Turkish Lyra those are really really important they're going to be infrastructure that enables these economies to come on chain and to benefit from this faster Global more connected new internet and so we're going to be spending a bunch of time there and then the fourth thing is that I think there was this recurring theme that um people want to build a a kind of like work local but build Global they love being connected to their local community they love being connected with other builders from their City from their country from their culture but they also want to build for a global audience and this is exactly how we think about crypto it is something that lets you participate in this new global economy and let you actually figure out how can you contribute globally while also taking the incredible PL power of This Global P platform and bringing it back locally to your community where you can actually make a positive impact so that was just an exciting learning for us and that connection between local and Global I think is going to get deeper and deeper as more of us move on chain so what's next um we have a lot of of uh follow-up stuff that's coming out of the World Tour on the building side uh we have a whole kind of like follow-up support program for people who participate in the based around the world buildon stay tuned for that in 2025 we're GNA actually go one level deeper and we're going to do country Focus build aons my goal is to run a build Aon in every single country around the world in 2025 and that is an ambitious goal but I think it's 100% possible on the mentorship side we're standing up a mentorship program to Mentor F folks who are coming out of build aons to help them take their idea from just a build Aon to a real business and and make sure that they can actually do it in the long term uh we just launched a collaboration with rare skills uh for a boot camp for smart contract uh development that just kicked off on Monday that's to give people more skills uh and we're uh expanding office hours to APAC Africa India friendly time zones um so that more folks can access to the core based team uh and get the support that they need need to be successful on the hiring front uh we're hiring country leader roles so we have Kenya Philippines Argentina open right now we just hired saama in India and we're actually going to open up 25 roles because our goal in 25 in 2025 is to hire 25 country leader roles so that we have a based Philippines leader a based Argentina leader a based Nigeria leader a based Kenya leader a based Brazil leader a based Columbia leader we're still figuring out the ex exact list but the goal is to be everywhere uh we're going to build there 25 and 25 and then we'll keep expanding from there we're also going to be opening up more Global devil engineering marketing and product roles um so a lot of the the current team is in the United States in Americas in Canada and and Argentina and Latin America but we're going to be expanding to APAC we're going to be expanding more to India we're going to be expanding and opening hiring for for uh Africa as well and one thing that I'm just super excited about uh and think there's probably some other Nigerians on the call who are going to be excited as well is we actually just hired our first Nigerian Builder to join the Basse team uh and that's Joseph uh I don't know if folks know Joseph but he's an incredible security engineer uh he's joining us I think at the beginning of January and we're just super super excited to have him join us and uh really just to like show folks yeah like everyone can join the base team um everyone can be a part of building this future uh and uh the door is really open to everyone so welcome Joseph and super excited to hire more people from more countries all around the world and then the last thing is uh on the product side we are expanding local stable coins so uh coming soon we have a Nigerian naira Kenyan Schilling a Turkish Lyra an Indonesian uh rupe um a Philippines peso uh local currencies are going to be coming live on Bas very quickly over the next uh couple months um so stay tuned for those and think about start building how you can start building on them and then we're also going to be doing a ton of work to make it easier for people to get on chain uh so stay tuned for that um coinbase wallets getting better and better uh but there's a lot more uh coming along as well so that's the takeaways from based around the world uh I I've got to meet so many of the people on this call uh yes there will be a Singapore dollar on chain as well um great question it's coming soon as well um every country is going to have their currency on chain uh we will ask gather to fix mobile issues as well and we're we we're exploring whether we're going to keep this in gather or not um so that's the takeaways from uh based around the world with that I'm GNA hand it over to Tina who is the leader of onchain kit uh which if you don't know is an incredible set of Open Source tooling that can let you go from zero to a fully functioning onchain app in less than 30 minutes and she's going to talk a little about what's happening with AI agents on base amazing um I'm sure that already know many of you here many familiar names but if you don't know me yet I'm Tina um as Jesse mentioned I've been working on a set of developer tools on chain kit um and in 2025 as Jesse mentioned um a big part of the pillar and strategy is to build this powerful developer platform and I already saw in the comment that an artist um just mentioned that they want arching kit to also be more accessible to artists and creators um not just the V opers and that is heard and actually that's where AI comes in there's so much development um of AI just with developer tooling but also with the new experiments that are happening on base um so there's more to come on that front of how we're going to use AI to supercharge your development um of your app and experiments and also in the futured artist Pro projects um but here today we're going to focus on talking a little bit more about all the cool stuff that's happening with agents on base um and encourage everyone to experiment with that so I think Jesse had this tweet earlier um this week um that she summarized different kind of classes of experiments that are happening on chain so the first one being you know newly possible agent in human games and frasa being one of them um if you have not checked it out it's actually intellectually very stimulating where um you know there's a possibility of potentially abusing the agent so you can think of this as like a kind of why hat exercise uh where they have a s simple prompt for the agent where do not take out you know basically do not send any money to to the user um and basically there's a bank Bounty at the end of that game um if someone was able to successfully do that so it's just very interesting um experiment the second class of um products that we're seeing is Agents emerging as kol's and you know you might have seen virtuals with Luna um and also there's a couple more that are that are coming out um and the third class is actually I think the one that I'm personally like most excited about which is you know agents actually performing real economic activities on chain um and that is just mindblowing because we're already seeing onchain economy growing you know at the speed that it is with you know humans and and Bots but now we're also seeing kind of more real economic activities happening with you know things that are really streamlining you know the operational inefficiency that we're seeing in the real world and that's actually one of the benefits of crypto um with you know programmable money to be able to um create something like an see much more easily and embed you know payment in your app um more seamless than ever um empowered by an allm so this is like one example of actually a super based builder in the community I've personally never met him um rayon he actually used our you know coinbase wallet um to have together this experiment with xmp's messaging protocol um you know to build this agentic experience within the wallet app and this actually goes to one of the Strategic pillar of being decentralized and open source and why that is important uh actually if you've used a coinbase product um you know it it has been a very amazing ux but then it's it's been close Source traditionally um but right now we're seeing this kind of new experiment of actually open sourcing the app and and being able to add kind of your own you know experience in it and and that's been really inspiring also to the team internally and referencing um experiments like this so we would love to see what you build with with our tools um to contribute to our core products as well and um I put together this website very quickly and there's a QR code but I will also link it in the message here um but this is a directory of all the AI projects on base just make it easier to find um different like different experiments that are happening on chain um I'm just linking it in the chat box here uh and you can submit your project by basically creating a PR in GitHub um so you can also you know find other builders that are participating in experiments like this next slide uh and yeah I want to highlight this toolkit that you may have seen um you know on Twitter it's called Agent kit um again like attach the QR code in the bottom right here um for the GitHub repo so agent kit essentially can think of it as a typescript python SDK for making onchain interactions and building onchain agents very easy so you can think of it as onchain kit plus you know also a backend SDK that make it easy to make transactions um so we're slowly releasing you know these components um in the next quarter and also in the upcoming year um to make it even faster to launch these AI experiments for you and if you want to exper experiment and experience what agent kit looks like with a front end so we actually have agent playground I will also find a link here um in onchain kit and let me link it here so agent playground is essentially is a Sandbox where we integrated it with agent kit to basically let you know the capabilities you can try deploying an nft and a token with just natural language or you know do simple things like you know transferring usdc um or transferring any token there's a lot more that you know that can be done uh that we would love to see what what you create um but this is a simple sent box to make it make it very easy for you to see what's possible and that's all the AI agents um you know experiments and and activities that are happening on base uh just to be honest I'm like mind blown every single day by all the cool stuff that are being built um on base here and we will continue to build the best tooling and and more easy accessible um platform for you to experiment with what's possible on chain awesome thank you Tina um so that is the end of our regularly scheduled programming uh we have now about 15 minutes of open Q&A and so if you have a question um what I'd love you to do is raise your hand there's a little uh if you click emote in the bottom which is a little smiley face and then uh raise hand on the far right or you can press h that will let you raise your hand um when you raise your uh when you I'll call on you and when I call on you would love you to quickly say your name where you're calling in from and one sentence about what you're working on not like five 10 sentences but like one sentence so we can get through a lot of people and uh make sure we can answer all the questions so with that um let me uh call on base Summit you're gonna have to unmik to to talk and you can unmik by clicking the microphone button in the bottom left okay well well Bas some it's waiting to unmake oh well Bas some it's waiting to unmake uh let's go to a is Shish I did I'm calling from India and uh 3 months ago we I was on the same uh meeting and uh uh there was this thing I was telling you that I'm working on a project uh NF pfp project which I completed and launched on base on 2nd December so the question was bringing so uh you also said that you should change the name to onchain punks but at that at the same time I had a strategy that first I should launch this for the deun community and I will be making another project which should be complete by February with 15,000 plus nfts uh the when you started you said how are you bringing World on chain so this project has 31 skin tones means every person from every continent can have the nft that looks like them I launched it on base on highlights on 2nd December I would just request two things one is uh I would like to be a member in base uh uh Channel in wcas so that I can share the project and the giveaways and a little bit of support from the base team and you to share my project because I'm lacking behind that that's the awesome well it would be great if you could share the project in your worldcast panel in the chat here so that will and jiren can check it out and we can figure out how to support thank you yes thank you so much than for being here and thanks for Building on Base Carlos BM BM what's up everyone uh this is this not a question I kind of in relation to the AI presentation that we just had I wanted to encourage all Community Builders anyone who's Gathering Builders developers new users to direct eyeballs towards Ai and onchain I believe that we are going to get an avalanche of Dev tooling that's going to help unlock so much creativity there's so many builders that are sideline right now because they're not Technical and they have these passions and these dreams and these ideas that they want to they want to develop and they want to make a reality I think Ai and Dev tooling is going to make that possible next year so start directing eyeballs there just so people get familiar with what's happening and they don't have to like jump on the learning curve way late way late right so you're giving your community an advantage right now by tapping into this really early so start hosting workshops walkthroughs you know like get people actually playing with these platforms and interacting and keep that going 100% 100% And um this is actually like a big theme inside of the base team right now uh I'm basically forcing everyone all of the engineers and the non-technical people to start using AI tools to build things um and it's really incredible what people can build even if they're not technical Tina I was I'm just going to call on you can you just tell your story of like how you know I feel like you're shipping a website every single day now um but you're not an engineer by trade can you just share a little bit about your journey as a AI enabled engineer totally um so I'm happy to share my stack later on Twitter and share with everyone here as well um but yeah I am my by function I'm actually a product person at coinbase and actually traditionally in tech companies if you're familiar with product people are not expected to code but a lot of times when you're You're Building Dev tooling the best way to test your product is to code um and to actually build experiments to Showcase how these apis and sdks actually work in practice um so I've been kind of you know tying together a lot of these Cutting Edge tools v0 cursor there's a new one called Cline that is going to blow your mind if you haven't tried it um it actually is like basically cursor on crack like they automatically um correct all your errors um if there is an error message so you don't even need to touch or have human input anymore off it just automatically runs I know that there's a new one called bolt that kind of does the same thing but I find Klein a little bit um better from a performance perspective uh generally I think you know building is worth a thousand words so you know I actually love writing prds but in in this day and age I think it's much more convincing to just build a full stack app um and then you know have a touch and feel and be closer to users that way so yeah I'm here to like Empower you to not be afraid even if you're not an engineer by trade um the tools are getting really really good so um yeah just start building and it's very addicting 100% Tina and I think it would be great if you could share like a little tweet about it or maybe a little video of like here's how I build as a a traditionally non-technical Builder I think a lot of Basse folks would be really inspired by that awesome um Louie he everybody I'm Lou Aon I created sex stuff onchain onchain cyber defense group specifically for on base focusing on llms um and even more specifically multi-agent Frameworks uh just to tack on a little bit to what Tina said I love the the cursor vo workflow for building on chain um I would also Point some people to uh towards wind surf wind surf is an excellent tool bore like it's it's basically cursor the advantage that it has though is when you create your PRD your product requirement doc you don't have to um spend as much time or even like adding your your file hierarchy your file structure uh wind Surfer or wind surf is uh it's it's very intuitive so you don't really need to be like uh like a full-time developer to build something so I'm I'm here I'm I'm happy to um to help out with any kind of tools techniques resources just reach out I'm always available my question was what can what can I do specifically to move the needle the most what's the highest leverage action that we can take on chain today a great question and I don't know if you can do this but one thing I will um potentially present as an idea is one one need that I've seen a lot from Builders is they write smart contracts and then they need to figure out how to get them deployed safely and I think there's kind of two classes here one is people who are building like real Financial protocols and those folks generally have the resources to go do real audits you know multiple audits get real um you know like lots of security Auditors to look at it but then there's another class of folks who are building little games or little experiments who are the security is not as important but they still want to make sure that they're getting some eyeballs on what they're building um and so one one opportunity that I see that is kind of like feels very present to me is I feel like we should figure out how do we almost create like a community resource for those sort of lightweight code audits um where if we can figure out how to connect people who are early in their maybe security career and are looking for things to learn from with folks who are building little games where security matters less that could be a really really valuable resource for increasing the security and increasing the kind of like Builder platform for folks Building on Base so that's one idea that seems potentially relevant to your skill set ah I actually am doing exactly that I just created the Discord server for sex St F fan um yeah wow I love it well please share would love you to share more with me um uh because I'd like to I'd love you to I'd love to connect you to our security team um that's sort of peer-to-peer like sort of it's I I don't want to call it quite auditing but like contract reviews I think would be really really impactful for helping our ecosystem be stronger and better excellent thank you thank you for your service that's super important um fungi hey there Jesse hi um my name's Connor here on behalf of the fungi erc20 I team um kind of brought Dynamic evm inscription the base they're fungible nonf fungible at the same time fully on chain uh no ipfs kind of inspired by BTC ordinals our development team is wondering how we can kind of successfully share some custom Integrations we've built um for the coinbase wallet that would kind of allow for a native inscriptions viewer kind of further differentiate base as nfts and tokens evolve yeah so um one of the big things that's happening right now is we're in the middle of a a kind of big platform investment in the wallet to make it faster uh smoother easier to use and also Char our path towards open source and so right now one of the really frustrating things I think for for folks around wallet is that there's no easy way to contribute um and that's the thing we want to change and so I don't have an exact timeline on it but um it's something we're prioritizing in 2025 and that'll be a pathway where that anyone can contribute so that's one path the other path is that we're always evaluating like new things to support in the wallet and once we get this New Foundation laid I think it's going to be easier for us to add support so I'm tracking erci very closely super excited about the Innovation um I love all of the championing that the community does and I'm excited to find a path where we can get more visibility thank you so much Jesse appreciate you Mel Mel you

you can go to b.org jobs and apply to any of those um and then uh oftentimes hiring managers are just sharing and so finding the right person who's the hiring manager and reaching out to them directly

right now I'd love to hear from you uh Community wise and then uh just to share a little bit uh we're building a live streaming gaming platform and we're trying to bring in players from all the based communities to come and compute against each other and we're really trying to build positive sum games the token is fully diluted and we're buying from the market as a community takeover I've been building games for over 20 years and I really look forward to building based experience with everybody here and on on B awesome I love it um well first off thank you for building with us and thank you for building game Community super super important um in terms of you know what communities am I excited about I mean there's too many to name um in general like whenever I'm on Twitter I feel like

memes that are coming out all these AIS that people are building communities around so I I feel like generally if you just open up um deck screener you're gonna find a bunch of really incredible communities I just Reach Out get in touch with them and figure out how to build we'll do thank you so much and then last question for Yan uh Hey Jesse can you hear me all right I can okay perfect it's
