HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
‍Wow, what an incredible way to start this spaces! Thank you so much, Riktor, for this. Uh, really, you know, I feel like at least for me, hopeful that everyone else agrees. Uh, really got me in that holiday spirit. I'd like to start by thanking Maui and Dylan here from Rooster Cartel and Helping Hands, Brandon is joining us from the Pixel Rug account and everyone else for joining, happy holidays. Uh, you know, we've made it, 2022, and it has been intense. Uh, we've definitely seen, you know, I mean, who would have thought that coming into 2022, we would have seen the Hedera ecosystem grow this much? And, yeah, I mean, there's so much that we want to touch on today. We really just want to revisit some of the highlights of the year. If any of you guys want to participate, you can obviously request to be a speaker or also use the bubble on the bottom right corner to share some of your thoughts. And with that, I mean, I know that Dylan's on his way home, but I'd love to kind of pass the mic over to Maui and Brandon, whoever wants to go first.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍Hey, HashPack, thank you for helping set this up. Thank you, everyone, for joining. Just getting home myself. Uh, thank you, Riktor, that was pretty dope mixing right there. We brought some of his holiday vibes. Let's go, DJ in the mix. Thank you, PixelRug, I see Sloth the Batty Hatty welcome. Shadyz, Meta Zombies, anybody's welcome to come up and share your top Hedera 2022 favorite memories, favorite what you were most excited about this year, and yeah, we've got a lot to cover. Again, thank you for joining. I was trying to record. Oh, the space is recording. I don't remember pressing record on the space, but good. That's pretty cool.

Helping Hands – Dylan - Founder
‍Hey guys. Yeah, um, I guess to kick it off, um, you know, I guess I'll start it real quick before I get into the house, but my whole favorite part of the year was this time last year when we were just getting started. All the great memories made with many community members here doing Twitter DM sales and you know, purchasing NFTs that way. Man, those are memories that I will never forget. And honestly, the highlight of me in the space was how we started and really getting the trust between one another and really getting a strong community. So, yeah, I just wanted to kick it off with this time last year. Man, it was great memories, and I've purchased so many awesome NFTs that I will never let leave my wallet. So I'll kick the space off of that. Good hand it over to Brandon from Pixel Rug.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍Yeah, quick second real quick. If you want to share the space, I am giving away a super rooster. Another one lucky winner. We've got a lot of giveaways as well lined up. If you want to go ahead and retweet the space and share your top Hedera 22 best moment, go ahead, Brandon.

Pixel Rug – Brandon - Founder
‍Yeah, I was just gonna say, um, you know, first off, that Christmas music, I wasn't expecting that. That was incredible. I was just eating dinner here and I was just like jamming out, so that was fantastic. Um, I have to say, if I had to pick one moment just from the perspective of an NFT project, I would honestly have to say the HIP 412 NFT standards. When that was released, it really changed the pace at which the ecosystem was able to grow and the quality of products that creators were able to make. Just the concept of being able to include multiple files inside of an NFT and include all sorts of other information inside it was just amazing. And I mean, working on that with May, Patches, and Ash and everybody was like a really interesting experience. Before that, without those standards for all these different things we wanted to do, we were all familiar with having certain NFTs that could display in wallets, like all these different problems, and it really kind of prevented NFT creators and artists from being kind of adventurous. It's almost like we needed that structure and those limitations to be creative. So for me as a creator, the highlight was the HIP 412 NFT standards because I've seen some really great NFTs, like we had the music NFT that was the Hash Shanty, I mean, the Golden Banana coin from Hangry BarBoons had multiple files in it. There's been like a whole, I think Meta Zombies did like a whole comic book where it had like 20 pages of a comic book inside an NFT. So, um, that to me was a major highlight for me, and I can't wait to see how creators continue to latch onto that and do some really crazy stuff, and also how wallets continue to adapt those standards. I think it's gonna be amazing.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
‍Yeah, no, I mean, I think that, um, I mean, lately, I've been on so many cross-chain spaces that I feel like, for me and maybe even for the entire ecosystem, everyone kind of takes for granted this, you know, the HIP 412 and actually, I just shared the article that you, Brandon, sent us over, um, about you know, what that kind of the whole process entailed and what you know what really went into the whole HIP 412, right? But you know, I was actually on a cross-chain space the other day with people from XRP, and they're actually, I mean, XRP has been around for much longer than Hedera, right? And they're still struggling with this, you know, standard NFT metadata. So I think it's definitely it's been one of my highlights as well because it's really I think it's really boosted the entire NFT ecosystem. I mean, when I talk with so many people from other chains, it's like, 'Oh, yeah, so how's the bear market go?' And it's like, you know, when they ask me, it's like, I mean, this past six to 12 months have been crazy in Hedere. I mean, we've seen so many great mints, so many things selling out, and it's been truly amazing. I guess, like, I mean, I have so many highlights of the year. I mean, I've been a Hedera fan for much longer than I've been in HashPack, but really seeing the community pull together has shown the true power of a tight-knit community that drives value inside of an ecosystem, and really, it's because of the community that we are at this point right now. So, yeah, I mean, massive shout out to everyone here and everyone that has been around the Hedera ecosystem, no matter how long you've been around. I mean, I think that 2023, I'm really looking forward to it. But, yeah, I mean, I'd love to pass the mic over to Cap to, Hotdog Hustle, so, yeah, go ahead.

Hotdog Hustle – Cap - Founder
‍Hey, uh, my favorite part of this year was Hangry BarBoons finally got his act together and released his Hangry BarBoons, and everybody was very excited, and we all made a lot of money, and it was a beautiful thing. It was such a great experience. Thank you, Hangry.

Hangry Barboons – Hangry - Founder
‍Thanks, Cap. I think that was my number one moment as well. It was it was fun, nah, but actually, uh, thinking about 2022 in general, I mean, the from January to now, it's crazy the amount of things that have happened, the way the whole ecosystem has grown. I mean, just like because I, I literally started working on Hangry BarBoons the first week of January of 2022, and there was there is kind of a barren wasteland in a sense because the, uh, I'm not sure, I think maybe HashPack was just starting to gain traction around that time. But it was when I joined Hedera in December, I think it was people were just recovering from the Xact wallet, uh, kind of going down. So we've seen, like, at the speed of light, Hedera growing over the last 12 months basically. So there's been a lot of little milestones along the way, and, uh, and, yeah, when I launched my project, that was that was intense. I mean, all the volume we saw, and it was a lot of fun seeing a lot of the cross-chain action picking up, and how active Twitter really became around that time. And it wasn't just me. You know, you gotta think about all the devs and the technology that was being built around that time, and it was like a perfect storm for me to launch in October. So, I think that's gonna pick up again in 2023, especially, like, when you look around at all these projects that have been around for a while, they're they're continuing to build you know, the Discords are quiet, but like the people who really are passionate about Hedera are still around doing stuff. So, you know, it's going to be really cool when we see another influx of collectors coming in.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍Yeah, I think that was one of my favorite moments, was HashPack coming in and supporting NFTs after Xact went down, and everything was unstable. Everything was awesome. It was failed right, and then they came out and supported NFTs. I think that's that was my favorite part of the year, that and Zuse, because I think those two kicked it off. To be honest, you know, we went, what was it, like two months without NFT activity because of the wallets and no marketplace? Oh yeah, that's, uh, HashPack shout out to HashPack for doing that. They stepped in, and they were like, 'We're supporting NFTs now,' and everybody was like, 'Let's go, what's up?' I've seen you had your handle.

Hotdog Hustle – Cap - Founder
‍Oh, my second favorite part of the year was, uh, involved, two foot, down there, uh, and it basically is this, you guys bought all my hot dogs. I can't believe you guys bought my hot dogs. I don't know what the heck you're thinking. I just drew a bunch of hot dog JPEGs, and I didn't promise you anything, and you bought thousands of them. Uh, two foot was there when we sold out Gen 2, and it was a lot of fun. Uh, thank you guys for the hot dog purchasing and uh for all the fun the HashPack saved us. Zuse saved us and uh this was an amazing year. It was amazing for everybody across the board across the map. Jolly just sold out like a whole sold out another collection. That was another one of my favorite parts of the year. What a great year.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
‍Yeah for real. And I mean the whole. I mean I wasn't part of HashPack yet back then, but you know talking with a team I mean when the whole thing went down back in December I mean HashPack had been going for just over two months then, but like you know we're really just getting started. And then over one weekend our CTO Tyler just decided to build the NFT gallery.

Hotdog Hustle – Cap - Founder
‍He smashed it out dude. We were like completely in limbo in the void, like dead. We had nothing and no way to do it. There was like maybe one or two guys you knew enough about code that still meant NFTs and move them around and stuff. Everybody else was just staring out into the night sky crying. And then he's like, you know what, I can do some NFTs. And like it like you said in one weekend, HashPack was NFT pack. Now this is amazing.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
‍Yeah. Not totally, I mean it was something that I remember that was right around when I first met May um here in Vancouver and she was like Yeah so this weekend you know Tyler just decided to do this and then we just saw a massive ramp up. And then from there obviously I mean secure trade came, but I mean it's been such a crazy year because you know starting the year like you were saying right like we um we didn't have a Marketplace. I mean in terms of DefI I mean there was no DeXe’s on Hedera yet and now we have what, three four and you know yeah, three four, five so yeah I mean it's been a crazy year. The amount of things that have happened has been amazing. The amount of NFT projects that have sold out is truly amazing. And really getting to know both the builders and the communities within those um within those these projects is just truly amazing. I mean I still when I when I clock off work I just hop into some discords and just kind of it's my disconnection time right. Like I'll just go check out some great memes and kind of just laugh with everyone.

Helping Hands – Dylan - Founder
‍Yeah yeah man I'm uh just so many flashbacks you guys talking about the space and uh one thing I wanted to say too is you know during last year you know we expected a lot of like you know you know main you know governing Council use cases to come live never had that anticipation right. We're all kind of excited to see something really big happen this year, but is not much movement really happened. What was really cool to see is the entire community just take initiative and start going out to like other chains and spaces and really talking about Hedera and us as a whole community has done an amazing job it kidding our community they grow larger. You know it's really cool to see how much effort each and one of you have put in to go into other chains and being uncomfortable talking about you know Hedera and your project and so I just wanted to shout out every single one of you in the room um you know the entire community. You guys have been so amazing this year and just seeing everyone just step up and you know really go out and just tell people about this awesome uh network we have and you know I just it's a great thing to see this year and I can't wait to see what we can do for 2023.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
‍Totally a hundred percent. I mean it's been truly incredible um and I mean there's more things coming. I mean I mean in terms of the governing council members I mean there's like that that meme that you know two weeks um but we've seen certain things come you know online briefly. I mean some people were able to screenshot that you know 5000 TPS so and really you know the Hedera network itself you know they don't even blink with that right. So I mean enterprises take their time um but it's coming uh there's many things that you know we're seeing on our end and it's really truly very exciting um and yeah and then I lost my turn uh my turn of thought but I know that Batty Hattie had he you had your hand up a little bit ago so and also The Ruler here so if feel free to jump in at any point like you don't really have to hit raise your hand.

Batty Hattie - Founder
‍Yeah oh I think so. You can hear me right and uh good evening. I'm trying to be quite quiet because uh the house is all asleep apart from me. If I wake anyone up I'm a dead man so I've got these guys can but I think there's been loads of highlights. I think the biggest thing for me was kind of summed up in the charity event last week that as the community is growing uh the core ethos and the heart of the community sense of value and kind of integrity and honesty is there even as more people come in. It seems to be quite infectious and I know there will be rugs and there'll be people scamming people but we still feel like a very tight-knit community even though we've grown exponentially since you know September. So for me that's been a highlight.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
‍Go ahead The Ruler. I mean I think that what you just mentioned Batty like and I don't know your name behind the Batty Hattie but like um 100% I mean it's been truly an amazing year and the pace that Hedera is growing at is truly incredible even through this bear market and you know as we look into 2023 I'm really excited to see what's happening. I know that you know from some conversation I know certain things that are coming but like I mean hopefully certain games will come online um you know there's going to be more projects coming on board and do new games and so on and it's it's really really exciting as also like I think we were saying like you know new holders new people hopping into from um web 2 into Hedera and really just one of the things with Hedera that's great is that once you're in here you know you really get this taste of community that not a lot of other places have it right. So so yeah I know totally yeah.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍Going back to gaming a quick shout out shout out to Hashnugs down there I was trying to bring him up um you know another gaming project and there and check them out you don't want to miss out. Just going back to the to the gaming subject go ahead the ruler I'm sorry bro no you're good man.

DaRuler – Community Member
‍I just want to kind of piggyback on what uh Batty Hattie was saying and also uh Helping Hands uh just a community aspect of it. We're in a bear market but the way the community held it together we just did nothing but grow. Build a trust for each other build each other up and uh even though you know the market is down there was no animosity there was no bringing each other down. Like the onboarding of new users from ADA, Solana, XRP just felt easy because they saw the camaraderie we have going on here and I also want to give a shout out to Hangry for bringing that heat wave back to us putting the eyes back on the ecosystem and making all of us more visible to these other new users that just fell in love with the place and all the people that I personally saw that came in have not left. I mean look at the audience down there there's a bunch of cross-chain people that we got to meet in these spaces that we interacted with and they're still here with us today. So Mad shout out to them mad respect for everybody in the community for sticking up with each other and doing the work together so that's definitely the highlight of my year bringing more eyes into the ecosystem and just keeping the thing growing man so love you all.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍Yeah for real shout out to Hangry after his uh after that drop we've seen a lot of uh Cardano whales right we've seen a lot of new spaces um popping out of nowhere now shout out to Hangry for real that's that's what Hangrys do.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
‍Yeah and also I mean we here amongst the speakers I mean we have Pengsol here that um you know I think you guys are getting ready to lunch here in Hedera you guys obviously have the project over on Solana and you know I've been hopping in and out into the pods um from Adam and so on and it's been really great to also you know welcome these new people and also learn from other ecosystems because at the end of the day there's pretty like we're just getting started and there's so many things that we can learn um I mean we obviously learned from Ethereum in terms of the NFT metadata as Brandon was saying earlier um but yeah I mean being so um I mean you've been around probably for longer than we know but yeah welcome in.

PengLabs – Maddie - Founder
‍Yeah no thanks this is Maddie by the way it's not getting you trying to get genju in here right now.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍What's up Maddie what what's your uh highlight of 2022 bro?

PengLabs – Maddie - Founder
‍Highlight of 2022. Well I don't know dude.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍For one happy moment I know we had a lot of bad ones but think of one happy one that that like that you want to share.

PengLabs – Maddie - Founder
‍I'll get back to you.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍No problem bro take some notes and out of those 10 highlights pick the best five out of those five pick the best three out of those three pick the best oh best one.

PengLabs – Maddie - Founder
‍I don't know if I'd call this a highlight but I mean I am kind of glad that we've started this process I mean we all knew that there was going to be some you know kind of dot gone 2003 cataclysmic event right in nfts and all this stuff that's happening is kind of forcing the hand it may have taken longer right so you know I know it's painful but like these are growing pains so kind of glad we're going through it now.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
‍Yeah I feel like and that's also something that Hangry you touched on right I mean even through this market I mean the people that are really here for the community and for the tech and so on like you know everyone's just building I mean even if it gets a little quiet some days um everyone's just working their ass off to put it as plainly as possible so so yeah no I mean it's it's truly exciting I mean like I was saying I mean and we also have Leemon here as a listener but I mean DEX's, DeFi is you know growing on their gaming, nfts and you know hopefully soon you know in two weeks just joking but you know the enterprise use cases will start to come and then we'll look back and we'll be like oh yeah 2022 was pretty special and pretty crazy but you know I think that at the pace that we're evolving probably you know we're gonna in the year time we're gonna look back into 2023 and be like well this was you know another crazy year so so yeah I mean it's really incredible.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍The lunch pads right um they're like going back to the early days people were trying to mint try to launch their projects and then next thing you know like we wake up we see HashTools shout outs to Hash Tools and Turtle Moon Tools right because they kind of paved the way where we at now with all these lunch pads and then we started seeing more and more and then projects dropping and it's just it's it grew pretty um I know we were early we were waiting for that time but it kind of it got a boost to be honest I think I saw a blue thing after all these launch pads definitely we started to grow more and I think this is just uh pretty much we still early as you can say because uh I don't know how many wallets the other day they were talking about in the space but I think it's between like no more than like 5,000 active wallets in the NFT space and I'm like damn that to be honest that's not a lot but it's it's a lot to where we were at to be honest and that's insane growth just to see where 2023 is going to bring uh there's gaming there's a lot of DeFi now and there's provisional NFTs and all this stuff is coming into play and I'm excited for it I'm so ready for 2022 to end right because it was a lot of I think for everyone not just me we were learning it was uh a lot of a lot of good stress but also learning building and then 2023 I think everyone's going to take advantage of everything they learned in 2022 and just kind of improve and grow from there. I see we've got the Gods of Hedara and 50k welcoming King Solomon. Thank you for joining.

Gods of Hedera - Founder
‍What's up guys? Good night, guys. Everyone's doing their recap for 2022. I can say that it's been a hell of a ride, right? It's been a learning curve for me. 2022 has definitely been a year of learning. We've learned a lot. We've come from Chronos. I was just onboarding a Chronos user into HashPack with the Gods of Hedara through our Discord about 30 minutes ago. It's just the evolution of things. We started off with the NFT project on Chronos and then we launched our crypto crowdfunding platform, which got listed under DeFi wallet. Then we got into the University of the Virgin Islands accelerator program, and it just keeps on expanding. We've been in contact with TeaCoat from HashPack. He helped us with some stuff, like wallet connects and other things we needed to find out because we're going to bring hbar to the crypto crowdfunding platform, so users can go ahead and fund this "Go Fund Beyond Crypto" project. It's been a crazy learning curve this year, and we want to thank Hedera because when we came into the community in mid-July, we were received with open arms. Maui was one of the first people to say, "Hey guys, come on in. We've got your back." We came in here and it was a hell of a ride for the first two weeks, but we're here now, almost six months later, and we're building. We're fortunate enough to start building out the game for Maui's fighting game that's coming out soon for Rooster Cartel, and some other stuff as well. We're very fortunate, and 2022 has just been a year of learning everything. I'm very thankful for everyone who has been following us. The Hedera community has been awesome, and trust me, 2023 has a lot coming as far as the unity that's been forming within Hedera. It's been lovely to see, and we're looking forward to everything else. So, thank you guys again and God bless.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍Yeah, thank you for coming on, bro.

Helping Hands – Dylan - Founder
‍Yeah, I just wanted to touch back on what you said about the Gods of Hedara and how Maui really took you in and helped you out. That's one awesome thing I've seen in the space. When someone new comes in, it's not like we say, "Hey, buy this NFT and good luck." We go to the extent of taking our time with complete strangers and making sure they come in here and get connected to the community, whether they're just coming in as a collector or even as a creator. We make sure that when people come in, they're on a successful path. It's really different from a lot of communities that I've noticed on other chains. It's really an awesome standard that we've had here in Hedera and I think that's why we've got such a strong bullish community right now. I mean, we're in a bear market, but it doesn't feel like it here in Hedera, and I think that's for very reason is the community here. Man, I mean, look at how many projects we've brought in, and we say, "Oh hey, talk to this guy, talk to this guy, and get them on the right track," and we don't even require money or any of that stuff. It's all just from our hearts to grow this community. And I'm excited to see the power that we have with that alone to grow this community even bigger in 2023. So yeah, I just wanted to touch back on what you said, 50k. I've seen you had your hand up and welcoming everybody.

Clout Art – 50k – Marketing Lead
‍Hey, thanks for letting me speak. I would describe this from two perspectives, my personal perspective and from Cloud Art Projects' perspective. But I was only a flipper on Solana a year and a half ago, which was crazy. When Cloud Art hired me and I got to know the Hedera community, it's been a learning curve because it's all about the community here, and like Dylan said, connecting with every individual on a personal level. It's like, for me personally, I've learned so much from every single one of you, and I've just been amazed at how much help I got personally and in regards to helping also with the project. So, I would thank you all. I would thank you all for helping me personally and helping with Cloud Art. It's been amazing, and I think it's safe to say, for me, it's been a no-brainer in regards to transitioning from Solana to Hedera. It's a no-brainer in regards to technology and the people, you know. It's been amazing. And if I can touch on some points from the Cloud Art perspective, I've been a community manager, PR, and a marketing lead, and I've been working my ass off. Again, it's been freaking amazing, the support from all of you. And again, I know we're probably going a little bit slow and steady, but I think we're really getting that snowball effect in, bringing Creator by Creator and really focusing on making those relationships with each individual and actually bringing in people who don't know anything. I mean, we just launched two weeks ago. We launched Elisa Massey, and she was selling her jewelry through NFTs, which is amazing because she didn't know anything about crypto. She created a HashPack wallet and stuff like that, and it was amazing. So it's just like we're going to build this, one creator by one creator, one person at a time. And I think like 2023 is going to be freaking amazing, and a lot of new things are coming. But I would just say again, the Hedera community has been amazing, guys. I freaking love you, I really do, and I really hope 2023 is going to be a time where we can connect more, we can build more together, and we can prepare for the bull markets to actually let people see what we're actually made of. So yeah, that's it.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍No, you're good, man. One creator at a time, that's Klaus from Cloud Art's model. Let's go. We're going to grow one creator at a time. Thank you for coming up, 50k. I appreciate it. It's a pleasure to have you up here. Hey, I see your hand up, King Solomon.

Genfinity – King Solomon – Founder & CEO
‍Put your hand down, dude. No, 100%, made me laugh. There's so much cool stuff within this entire space, you know? I 100% need to take a break over the next week or two, but make no mistake about it. Even some of the stuff, like I can look at everybody in the Hedera ecosystem, and I can only really speak for myself, but I can speak from my experience within the Hedera ecosystem for well over a year, from an NFT standpoint, well over two and a half, three years from testnet aspects. There's been so much that has changed across the entire board. Helping Hands is up here right now, that is literally helping to onboard people into this ecosystem. Pixel Rug and Brandon, everything that he's been doing. Hangry down there that was literally one of the main value drivers to pull people from these other networks within Solana. Batty, who has been here since the beginning, with Hattie, legitimately putting together really simple tools for people to use, in a way to showcase the value of the Hedera ecosystem in a way that empowers youth, youth artwork, and youth empowerment, mental health, and everybody else within this space. You know, Sloth Society, The Meta Zombies, I know you guys are down there. De-rugging Sloth Society, and literally making it another project. Clout Art and 50k, I know how many times you've reached out to me and I'm just really busy, so that's my fault. But you guys have been killing it. MetaVision, Leemon Swap, even from the stuff going on from a DEFI aspect within Hedera, which is just competition, which is really co-op edition. It's a massive value proposition to see where we're at. So, like the HashPack interviews that we've been doing recently, and Marc, I think you're on here right now, Which I love, Marc. Marc is like one of the ones that when I put together for Hederaween back in October and we're gonna do something in February for everybody again. So, I'm hoping that all the projects can participate. We're gonna have a basis around this where we create around wallet creation and actual activity and make sure we're vetting out non-freaking bots and doing all the things that we did within Hederaween too to build out the community. When I started dealing with that, like we reached out to HashPack just because I've used HashPack and Marc literally reached out to me. He's like, "If you need help, reach out to me within Hederaween and everything else." And I was spending every project down here that I talked to know that I probably spent, I don't know, Brandon does because Brandon, how many hours over a 10-day period was I in phone calls with you? It was probably 15 hours.

Pixel Rug – Brandon - Founder
‍Right, we’d be in an hour and a half Zoom call talking about like diving into like this minutia about how to do the Twitter spaces and everything. It's like it's not just time spent. It's like attention to detail and mental bandwidth required. It's insane.

Genfinity – King Solomon – Founder & CEO
‍And making it right, you know? And HashPack reached out and they immediately were like, "And Marc reached out and he was like, 'If you need help to facilitate and streamline this stuff,' and I can personally attest to the fact that Marc probably spent in an eight or nine day period with him meeting me for the first time, me meeting him for the first time, probably 12 to 15 hours with me on Twitter, uh, Twitter spaces Zoom calls, stuff like that, to really flush that event out correctly." And we're doing interviews right now and we're measuring that as well, just like we were measuring Hederaween with like the wallet creation aspect. We're measuring these interviews now. We're trying to streamline them. They have a community site right now for people to go on to and learn not only about NFTs but DeFi aspects and community resource sites and XYZ aspects. I mean it's a massive value proposition that's not going to stop in 2023. And I can't disagree with Clout down there that said that, you know, this isn't really necessarily possible in any other ecosystem right now. And it's not just because of the community, but it is all about the community because, like, if Hedera was not in the position right now where we had people like Patches and, and even like you look at like Baptiste and Exact Wallet back last year where they facilitated like the first onboarding for auction houses and kind of an NFT marketplace and all this. We're so far along and I really think 2023 for Hedera is going to, it might still be a little bit boring to watch kind of this market go sideways a bit, but I mean, we talked about, I think Hedera themselves said, the 2020, 2021 or 2022 was the year for scale. The year for scale is every year when you're in the Hedera community and I can't wait to keep building out with you guys in the next year. I mean, that's just my personal opinion. So, uh, sentiments are the exact same as Cloud art. I love every single person I've ever talked to in this community. You guys are all fantastic.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
‍Yeah, I mean, I think, I mean, and you know, back to the whole Hederaween stuff, I mean, it was truly incredible seeing the amount of time that you put in and that everyone at Genfinity put in and also everything that they, all the different projects did to put together that whole thing. I mean, it was a massive undertaking. It was it was truly wild because, like you said, you know, within, uh, seven days, I mean, I was still in Spain back then and we just got in a quick call and then like we set everything up pretty quickly. And then like we made sure that for all of the different giveaways that we were that, then you know, that you facilitated, that we were not sending it out to bots because I mean we all know that, you know, when there's a giveaway happening, bots just go in and you know just spam the crap out of it, right? So we spent a massive amount of time but I mean going back to the whole community, I mean, and 2022, I mean, I think it's been it's been truly incredible seeing everything happen. Um, also I think that the fact that we've done all of this right now kind of sets the perfect foundation going into 2023, 2024 and, like you said, Solomon, I mean, the thing that, you know, it's not only one year that it's about scale. I mean, for everyone here, everyone, what everyone wants is for Hedera to scale many and many times over every single year. And if we just, you know, get the whole community rowing in the same direction, I think we're in good shape. And you know eventually, as I was saying, you know, the enterprise use cases will come through and so on, but you know we still, we still have to keep on building us at you know. And on the community side.

Genfinity – King Solomon – Founder & CEO
‍The really cool thing that I love about Hedera, which is you do not see this in any, and that I think this is kind of what Clout may have been getting at, which I do think is true, like there's value in every ecosystem. Like I started on the XRPL, like from buying XRP, like you know, not started, I bought Bitcoin and Ethereum like everybody else did, but you know then I gravitated towards the XRPL. Like I still believe in XRP, the XRP community, the NFT aspects within the XRPL, but there's a ton of work to be done as far as like creating synergy like to drive the network forward, because there's like a lot of like incentivization to just be, "My project is the best project and I'm just gonna do XYZ," but there's so much, there's not even like a metadata standard in these things to the point that, like, you know, that's that same, and it's not it's nothing bad. I mean that's gonna happen in any new network. That same thing happened to Hedera. That same thing happened in this ecosystem. And six months down, six months after that happened, May, you know, from HashPack, you know, took the reins, hit the bull by the horn, was like, "We need to come together as like leading projects and come up with the standard and put together a HIP and did all this other stuff," um, that's a massive thing to even say, so I mean, but what we've seen occur, like over the past six to nine months, especially in like when you look at NFTs, because I don't look at Hedera as an NFT ecosystem, which is insane to say, because the Hedera ecosystem has grown out very much so based on NFTs, but it's just a really efficient wallet connectivity ecosystem with like really cool stuff, UXs and UIs you can build on top of it with JavaScript, which is, which is like the, you know, really easy to build actual applications on top of what Hedera is doing from a really efficient consensus mechanism and the protocol within, you know, Hashgraph. So I, there's it's going to be insane because 90 to 95% down, like OpenSea and Rarible and all these things, like marketplaces for NFTs, like over the past year, and you literally see, like, you know, Zuse hitting all-time highs as recent as like a month, like two months ago. I think it was Hangry that I actually did that. Hangry actually, like, I think there was a two million Hbar volume day on Zuse like a couple of months back. That's like, and, and I don't have to tell this to any of the any of the projects building right now, but everybody that actually knows what two million Hbar represents, that's a drop in the bucket right now. I mean, what we should be looking for is a two billion Hbar day on Zuse or on these other platforms, and I think that's what's going to come in the future. But you have to hit two million before you hit two billion. It takes a ton of community rowers rowing in the same direction, which Marc just said, to facilitate that happening. And I just, I expect more of that in 2023. I expect new milestones to not only be hit, but to be smashed, and I expect ecosystem walls to be broken by all of us, from projects, from community members, from NFT aspects. We're gonna start really seeing the enterprise aspects that are coming over the next two to three years, what's in Hedera, we're going to start seeing the ESG and the green initiative shipped. It's going to be wild to watch, but make no mistake about it, everybody building out right now is the one that is facilitating what we're gonna see in six months, 12 months, a year and a half. I mean, you guys are the influx of that, and you guys are going to be the ones that reap the benefits I think on the back end of that as well.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
‍So, a hundred percent, a hundred percent. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, yeah, again, 2022 was wild, but yeah, we should just all kind of raise ourselves for 2023, in terms of macro and whatever environment. I mean, one of the great things also that I'm seeing on this community is that, and although everyone is incentivized for the Hbar price, took a while, but, whatever, like, everyone's just kind of, it, we're just more, I think, you know, that's my rate. I might be wrong here, but, like, that just seems that everyone's just more focused on just delivering value, but, like, independently of whatever token prices do, right? And I think that that's going to happen in 2023. I think that, um, like you said, Solomon, there's so many things that are coming online. There's some new projects migrating from other chains that will be coming live here pretty soon. And, yeah I mean, from your guys's side, I mean, Solomon, um, I know that you guys also have some things, but, like, I don't want to say too much in that aspect, but, like, it's, it's truly incredible, and just sitting down with everyone, everyone just so open to chatting, hopping into calls, and just basically brainstorming on new ways to bring in more users, on new ways to you know incentivize the community and grow this community stronger, and it's truly incredible.

Genfinity – King Solomon – Founder & CEO
‍Um, yeah, I think, I think it's like, like, uh, yeah, we, you know, the genfinity stuff, like the Gen 3 stuff that we have, that I think HashPack seen, I know we've given access to Hangry, uh, Batty is gonna get access, um, there's like two or three other projects I know, obviously, Patches in them, um, really trying to tackle this space in an agnostic way, and just provide valuable driven services to the community, without releasing. I mean, for us, like, I have nothing against releasing an NFT or a token or a coin, but, like, trying to build out a community hub is really important to me, and being, like, how can we leverage, like, Hgraph IO, and the graphql aspects, and like, like use that to like measure on Hashgraph metrics in a way that, like, and still be agnostic, and still build out, like, you know, NFT aspects, where you can start, like, communicate with people, like, have, like, a platform effect type thing, um, that's what we are doing, that's going to be coming out very, very soon, but, like, we are, we actually had a, I guess I'll say, like, we had a discussion with the Hbar Foundation, like, last October or November, uh, at, like, kind of the incubation stage, and then you know, we just, we kind of walked away from it, uh, spent eight to ten months building, like, not, not, not on blood sweat and tears, but 100% on blood sweat and tears, uh, with, with no funding or anything, and then, uh, you know, gonna be releasing this to you guys very, very soon, and really, like, the whole thing, like, my, I want to try to keep it to this as much as I possibly can, as long as I possibly can, but, every service, like, so we did this Lighthouse report stuff, which you guys have all seen, and, yes, very Hedera heavy right now, but we're also sponsored by Hedera, like, from an aspect within, like the Lighthouse report and the Twitter spaces and stuff like that, I want to be agnostic and grow that out. That's one aspect we're about to do January 3rd where we're launching a Series 65, a guide to Series 65. Essentially, you can become sponsored by an accredited investment firm. The course is totally free through what we're facilitating. And if you do get sponsored by an RIA, there's thousands in the United States, you could sell financial products. That has a byproduct of that, you become an accredited investor without having to have a hundred thousand dollar annual salary or whatever the requirements are. Because I'm sorry, I got really pissed off about seeing that stuff and I'm like, imagine these traditional RIA firms having a talent pool to pick from within Web3. And then the third thing was like within the application. So these are the three things that we've been working on. The third thing is really creating a community hub where, yes, it's a lot about Hedera, but you know there's HashPack activity, there's Hedera connectivity, there's Hedera metrics as far as recent sales and everything. Even to the NFT aspect, so when Hangry gets on there, I can go and look at Hangry's entire collection. I can click on one NFT within Hangry Barboons collection, this is all live now, we just haven't shared it, and literally see the entire trading history and data within that entire thing. I can comment and post and follow people and do all this other stuff. We built this for over a year without doing anything with it. And it's like ready to go, but I really look at that in a way where it's like there's so much, there's so much, I don't know, there's just so much to do in this space. I love the space, and just want to keep, you know, you guys will be seeing that application, like all, there's so much cool stuff within it. But really, that's just the infrastructure. What we've seen in crypto and Web3 over the past, I would actually argue 13 years, are houses of cards that are built as high as they can possibly get without sound infrastructure. Where all, every time, that's why we go into cycles and then the bull and the bear markets happen, and we can't sustain ourselves during the bear markets because it was way too overhyped. If you can build a house with cards as high as you want to build it, but unless there's sound infrastructure there and unless you're really providing services to the community, and it's all about money, it's always going to crash back down. So yes, I do have to make revenue from a company standpoint, do XYZ, but I feel like if you provide enough value at the front end of all of that, the revenue is going to come. And I would much rather take revenue from companies that already exist, like the old guard, and this world that we exist in, the banking systems, everybody else, and be like, "Hey, you need us because of the service we're providing," rather than take it from the community that wants to participate and the services that are being built right now, which I think is pretty ridiculous.

Helping Hands – Dylan - Founder
‍So, absolutely, I love what you're doing over there, King Solomon. And Gigi always brings so much knowledge and value to this space. Man, we could sit here and listen to you talk for hours, bro. Seriously. But, real quick, not to change subject, but I know HashPack, uh, you know, Marc does have to leave fairly soon. But, uh, that being said, I just wanted to say, you know, with what HashPack's done this year, and the space has really been amazing. I mean, their progression as a wallet has been really cool to see and onboarding people. You know, they're very skeptical and then when they come in and download that HashPack, they go, "Oh wow, this is actually really awesome. This wallet is amazing." You know, so nothing but positive feedback. Uh, see, I just wanted to say that you know you guys have been doing a killer job at growing the ecosystem here, and uh, I'll let you part ways now with your words.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
‍Yeah, no, thank you so much. I mean, it's definitely taken a lot of hard work from, you know, the entire funding team, and everyone that has participated. I mean, I think that one of the things that we like to say, and that it's really true, is that at the end of the day, there wouldn't be a HashPack without the community. Most of our features have been community-led, in the aspect that you know, people just ask for it and then we come together as a team and be like, "Oh yeah, let's prioritize this because this will move the needle for the community." So, yeah, I mean, with this, like, um, like Dylan was saying, I mean, unfortunately we got dumped on a bunch of snow here and have to go pick up my girlfriend, but really appreciate it. I'm really looking forward to 2023. 2022 has been incredible. Um, we have much more in store, much more coming from the community side, you know, with everything that Solomon's doing.

Genfinity – King Solomon – Founder & CEO
‍I have to give a shout out to you, Marc, before you leave, because Marc has been transcribing in written form every, every interview that you see posted right now from HashPack and the Genfinity aspects, to the point where, like, in written form, so like an interview that has 27, 20, 30, 35 minutes long, I asked him like four or five days ago, I'm like, "Dude, you gotta streamline this." He's like, "It's not that bad. It's like two to three hours per interview." I'm like, "Oh my god, dude, you have to get that down to like five or ten minutes." You've been transcribing this stuff like in written form for people that don't have the capability to watch or listen to it. You've been writing it for, you know, and making it as accessible as possible. It's amazing. It's amazing what you guys have done and what you're, uh, and May and everybody else continues to try to do, and that is only seen through the work ethic, and like when I see, you know, you're like, "These interviews are great, let's streamline them, let's do XYZ." You've helped me a ton, and not only that, but you're like streamlining it in a way across, you know, people that don't have the accessibility options, which I think nobody else is doing. Nobody else is doing that. You're doing that. It's awesome.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
‍Yeah, I mean, thank you so much. I mean, for me, it just, I understand there's some people that, I mean, and there's a lot of things that we take for granted, living in the US, Canada, wherever you are. And I think that, for me, you know, having traveled to a bunch of different places, Southeast Asia, Africa, whatever, like there's certain things that, you know, with the internet bandwidth that they have over there, it's just not possible. But you know, by transcribing it, people can be included. So you know, we want to be as accessible for everyone as possible. Um, and yeah, I mean, initially it took two or three hours. Now I'm cutting it down, kind of getting the hang of it. But like, yeah, again, this wouldn't be possible with everyone here, all the projects have participated. So I'm, you know, getting those interviews over the line and so on and they're spending more coming. Um, so if you ever want to be highlighted, um, there's some projects here that I've talked to on the side about, you know, hopping on the community side. We're very excited. Um, we're just, you know, we're a small team. We're trying to include everyone. Um, but yeah, no, just expect me to reach out to be reaching out soon, and, uh, yeah, really looking forward to 2023.

Genfinity – King Solomon – Founder & CEO
‍The big thing that we've seen, Rooster and Helping Hands, and I know how Marc, you got to leave, is continuity, and that's, it's so different from what you see, but it's not just continuity from like an individual project purview. It's like continuity across the ecosystem, which is why I think that we've seen, you know, kind of like an explosion as far as, like, how many people are interested in Hedera, interested in what happens with an Hbar, interested in the consensus aspects. Like it's really like continuity and information that is just consistently spread from, like, multiple individuals. It's not just coming from the projects page, or from one individual projects page. It's coming from everybody, which is really, really freaking cool to see.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍Yeah, HashPack had to go. Uh, he had to cut a server planning to run for like an hour and a half, two hours, but he got hit with a snowstorm. Whereas actually, that storm's about to hit the Midwest tomorrow. I think it's gonna hit us. But, um, yeah, it's, uh, this space is growing rapidly. I think in 2023, there's a lot of things that are coming from all the projects. I'm excited for as well, not just for our project, but for other NFT projects in the space. Yeah, DJ Riktor, down there, bro. You want to go ahead and uh say something about the project and make sure to get everybody to follow your new Twitter account? I don't know if uh DJ over there got stuck scratching on turntables or he fell asleep.

Genfinity – King Solomon – Founder & CEO
‍I have to hop off, guys. My wife just looked in here and said dinner is ready, so I have to leave. But I will talk to you guys.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍Thank you. Keep calling me uh I'll talk to you too. I know we've been talking on the DM since. We'll get to that as well, whenever you're after the holidays.

Batty Hattie - Founder
‍Yeah, I'm not too far off dropping out myself, really. What I am here, um, but just a quick one. You were invited to a sort of New Year's Eve party, The Emporium. Just a bit of simple fun, nothing major. Maori's promised not to wear his bright pink suit, even though I thought he wrapped it really well. Um, so yeah, it's a little bit of fun when you've got a hangover from the night before, or I just want to come and meet some of the fellow community and find out some stuff about them. Feel free to pop along.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍Thank you, Betty. I was trying to actually uh pin that post you made, but uh it seems like every time I leave the space, Twitter starts bugging. I don't want to actually get rugged. If you want to go ahead and put that on the top up there, sure. Thank you, Batty. You're always welcome to the space. I had to invite you up here.

Helping Hands – Dylan - Founder
‍Yeah, see we gotta thank you. Oh, sorry. I see we got a the ruler up here and sloth society, um, if you guys wanted anything to say too. I know you guys have been here for a minute, so feel free to speak. Um, and also, too, if we could get uh Maui maybe another co-host spot, so we can get more speakers on here. I know it, yeah, yeah, definitely.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍Anybody want to help co-host real quick? If you want to tweet this face, I'm actually the first price is gonna be a super rooster, and then uh, you know, I don't want to show too much, share too much, but I would definitely get on some things that we're testing tonight, and we're getting ready to roll out by you in a few days. But uh, yeah, if you want to go tweet the space, we're gonna give away a super rooster. It's a one lucky winner, and we got more giveaways as well. Just stay tuned to the space.

DaRuler – Community Member
‍We're, we're barely getting started in here, huh? You didn't remember that. No, I mean, I see we got two foot up here as well, and also, I see The NFT Foundry down there. I would love to see them come up. Jolly llamas, and uh, we got Mr.Minded, Moon tickets as well, and of course, uh, stealthy and Ray raid a new project in town. If you guys want to come up and chat with us, tell us what you were thankful for in 2022. We'd love to hear from you.

XLab – 2Foot - Founder
‍Hey guys, uh, thanks for having me up. I'm excited to see Punk Soul here. Uh, how's it going guys? I'm from X Labs, but um, yeah, I'm uh, the thing I'm excited about or what I'm here for is uh, how quickly you guys welcome new people into space, including me and Miss I. Um, like the first time I was in a Twitter space with her and you guys, I got six NFTs within about 20 minutes from people trying to welcome me, and it was amazing. And I know not everybody has that kind of blessing, but it was great. Um, and you know, I hope to pass it along when I have the opportunity. Um, so thank you for the connectiveness that you guys have between the projects, how you meant each other out, and you know, it's a great it's great to see that your communities have way less people in the server than there are NFTs in the project, but yet it still mints out. You don't see that on Solana. It's quite a bit different. Um, so long as always, Solana will always be part of my home, but I'm I'm uh, enjoying here as well. Um, I was curious, could you guys do another space like this the beginning of January so we could talk about you know, maybe what we hope to see next year? Because this reminiscent part is awesome, and I've got some ideas about next year that I'd like to share, but I don't think this is the time. So that would be cool if you guys did this again. And I'm gonna hop back down.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍No, you're good. Uh, you can stay up here. Yeah, yeah, it would definitely get to it. Well, we're planning something else, get all the projects together, and uh, like you said, start to 2023 with the space and what we look forward to, and just share ideas.

Helping Hands – Dylan - Founder
‍Yeah, definitely. Uh, expect you know, more spaces like these, and yeah, that's you know, something we've had in mind is the end of the year and beginning of the year. Um, so great uh, idea there too. And um, anyone listening, you know, I don't care if you're a collector, a creator, um, come up and share your experience in the hedera ecosystem for 2022. Um, you don't want to try and get as much voices as we can up today. Um, you know, it's been a wild ride. You know, we've seen some ups and downs and sideways, you know, so we've experienced a whole lot as a community. And it's important to share your voice right now. You know, if you're a collector, you know, creator, like I said, come up, don't don't be scared to share your voice. Um, everyone's up here, welcome to speak. Um, so yeah, it's very exciting to have all of you up here too today. Um, it's been so cool hearing everyone's experience so far this year. Um, you know, it's just truly amazing. I mean, I wanted to say earlier, you know, we were on the subject of growing the community, and what's been amazing this year is when we onboard people, you know, we we can talk about the community, is amazing. You'll get the most support you'll ever get from any other chain, but on top of that, you have the amazing technology from Hedera. You know, you've got the speed, the security, the reliability. Right, so hand in hand, that would the community really keeps people here, and it's amazing. You know, so um, it's one thing to experience a great community, but to get amazing tech with that as well is what's been really awesome and keeps people here. So, I see we got uh, Chris from NFT Foundry up here. Uh, nice to have you up here, man.

NFT Foundery – Chris
‍Hey bro, how's it going? Hello, family. It's uh, thanks for having us up here. Yeah, um, I just want to talk about my experience really in in 2022. I started buying Hbar back in sort of December, January time, and then came across the old uh, the nft scene around March, and I thought this looks a good way to use my Hbar and knew nothing about nfts. Um, I'd heard about them on uh, on Google and Facebook and all those places, and I thought, yeah, I want to get into this, and uh, so yeah, I started buying up. I think I bought my first nft back in back in March, I think that was uh, probably um, oh geez, I've lost the name now um, that's close again, I'm ahead anyway, yeah. So I've sort of bought my first nfts back in March, and then um, just sort of got into it after that. Got to know more people in the community, found the community so so welcoming, and it's been a fantastic community to who support you. Um, and getting to know the people in the space as sort of giving you an idea as a collector of who's got what's trustworthy, because we know there are a few rugs, and there have been a few rugs, and we can never they can never avoid that, but yeah, just the community has been so welcoming since uh, since I came into the spaces in March, and then obviously joined The Foundry in um, I was at um, July, August time, and it's just been a fantastic place to be. Um, as a collector, and it's just it's to be his knees. I've I've not had any doubts or any problems in the community, and I'm just keeping collecting and collecting and collecting, and I will do it. I probably uh, have probably into too many projects now to uh, to name, but yeah, just love the community, I love the feel of it, love the vibe, and love everybody in the community.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍Yeah, Chris, you'd be bringing uh, good positive vibes in all the spaces every night. We appreciate you, Chris. And I was trying to invite The nft Foundry up here. Um, I don't know if you can speak right now, but shout out to them. They actually, real quick, they build the software where it's uh, build your own nft. That's that's pretty dope, something different, something I haven't seen out there. So we gotta check them out. You can you get to build your own nft. That's pretty cool. I love that concept. I love it.

NFT Foundery – Chris
‍Yeah, I think I think The Foundry, I think was probably one of the first people on Hedera, or we are one of our first people on the data to have that sort of build your own um, capacity. And moving on to next year, the build has been um, extended out. Oh sorry, go on Foundery up. I'll I'll let, I don't want to Shag you off, CG takeover.

NFT Foundery – CG
‍Uh, this is CG, and um, I just was saying hi. I'm sitting here actually with Shaggy, but uh, my phone died, so I'll step up. Um, do you guys have any questions? I'm sorry, I was uh, just wondering. Um, you know what's going on tonight, and uh, happy to you know be on here and talking with everybody.

NFT Foundery – Chris
‍CG, do you want to say about um, the Builder, and we're warm it up, please?

NFT Foundery – CG
‍Oh yeah, so um, Shaggy is uh, working with uh, the code and pulling. Sorry about that. Um, I think I lost her for a second, so uh, Shaggy is working on things, and this last mint we did um, completely in house. He he's doing things with the builder um, to make games and uh, things in the website, but also um, we're adding layers, and he also wants to get other projects in and um, you know, get a special page for them within the website, and that way they can build their own nft as well, if that's something you know they've got a small uh, line that they want to do a Genesis collection or a specialty one-off or morph, you know, whatever you guys can create or think of, you know, we're willing to talk, and are excited about the growth here that's happening.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍Sorry, but I had said that. Hell yeah, I love what Shaggy's doing. I actually reached out, and uh, I love that software, build your own nfcs. Come on man, like that's unique, that's awesome.

NFT Foundery – CG
‍Yeah, well, thank you, and uh, you know, we're excited about what you guys have got going on over there too.

Rooster Cartel – Maui - Founder
‍It's just making this community stronger, to be honest, and uh, yeah, I'm excited for this whole space in general. Real quick, I'm actually doing, I'm about to pick the winner, you can take uh, for a couple seconds, so I'll pick the winner to the super rooster, and then we will be able to give them away.

Helping Hands – Dylan - Founder
