Transcription (15:17-32:39)

Genfinity – King Solomon – Founder & CEO
‍You did a great job already explaining, um, how many team members, maybe, uh, instead of how many team members in the backgrounds, because you've already touched base on that. Can you talk a little bit about, um, some of the community, uh, aspects that you guys have been able to build out thus far, so Discord, Twitter, things like that, and what that looks like, and then I think you alluded to it previously, um, maybe talk a little bit about you know, building out contributors from the community, because I think that's a really interesting aspect of web3 that we've seen really flourish with these projects, where you almost have fans that want to help you, um, moving forward.

Creamies – Matt - Founder
‍Oh, very interesting, uh, first off, I'd like to say shout out to my CTO, who runs a team of four developers, um, that he knows in person, kind of knows their background and you know, all that, um, but I would like to shout out my mods, of course. Any NFT project has to have mods, uh, they do a great job, help running our socials, as well as our Discord, I guess that fits on their socials, but we have a fun aspect and web3 allows you to do this where we have a council of team members, and they were voted in. We didn't just hand pick them, and our council kind of guides us, okay. What do we do with the funds of the DAO and our DAO has over ten thousand dollars on liquidity on Saucer Swap, so we're yielding gains right? This is just one aspect of the council. They kind of help us guide votes for the DAO before they even get to the DAO stage because there's so many ideas right, going in and out of a project: Why don't we do this? Why don't we do that? And it kind of helps filter out good ideas and bad ideas. And our DAO actually, and our Council, sorry, we call them the Council of Cream COC (shout out to those guys), um but yeah, they help us run the project in a way where it's not and this is one of our main prerogatives, it's not just beneficial to the Creator. Right, if I ran the project by myself, and if I was a greedy SOB, I would have minted and not built anything, and you know done anything the way I wanted to, but we built up this COC, we built up this ten thousand dollar um DAO uh war chest, essentially, and we're yielding four or five hundred US dollars in real value per month uh from the DAO. So they help us run the DAO, they help us with the direction, general direction, and they help us even with like marketing outreach, for example. They'll be in a project where I'm too busy to get a new project, they'll be degening in other projects, and kind of bridge that with creamies right? And a lot of our partnerships actually we came from COC recommendations, like reached out to this project, maybe they can do a part for you, and you could do a part for them, and you know, we kind of bring value to each other that way.

Genfinity – King Solomon – Founder & CEO
‍100%, uh yeah. I'd like it, uh I think the audience would like if you would describe um any milestones and achievements that you guys have accomplished thus far.

Creamies – Matt - Founder
‍Oh, thus far, so we have again we have a very structured tokenomics thing where it's not on the whim, um our whole project is kind of hinged on we're never going to have a future generation. So Solomon, for example, for your master creamer, it's 111, right? That's it, there's never going to be more. For our creamies, our regular creamies, we call them normies, uh, there's going to be 111. There's never going to be more. And to obtain a master creamer, it's a trading mechanism, we put five creamies in jail right, so you turn in five creamies and you get a Master Cleaner. Um and I'm sorry, what was your question? I'm rambling on, I'm a little tipsy right now.

Genfinity – King Solomon – Founder & CEO
‍No, you're fine, um yeah, no, I've been there, trust me, um describe any milestones and achievements that you guys have accomplished thus far, and then I guess you could extrapolate on that and what are you looking forward to um in the short, medium, and long term?

Creamies – Matt - Founder
‍Okay, so yes, great question, and I guess that's why I kind of got uh stumbled there, sorry. So, yeah, short-term milestones, uh again, we were the first real liquidity pool on Saucer Swap, other than usdc HbarX, right, like the major, major players, we were the first liquidity pool on Saucer Swap, um, the first DeFi platform on Hedera that I would consider as a DeFi platform, other than the failures we had in the past, um and we delivered the first HTS token based game, and it was in the form of a coin flip and a dice roll. It's very basic games you probably saw, another chains. Yes, this is just the token flow model. We also delivered the first claim meaning. If you have an NFT of ours, you have the ability to claim cream tokens every 24 hours on our website. Short-term milestones that we delivered recently, I would say creamlands.com is a big one. What we're trying to build out is kind of like a social platform where you could flex your logo, you could flex your pfp, you could even edit your description, you could edit your URL, right, kind of like the domain CNS domains services. Um, yeah, and on creamlands.com, it's it went live today. You could see that our partners quack tokens from Dazzle Ducks, Lil tokens from Lil universe, uh, Whale from Cyber Hedera, and many more Sauce from Saucer Swap, for example, you could play those tokens on our gaming platform. Our future milestones that I'm very excited for is in Q4, uh, and I say Q4 lightly because we expect some delays, like early November, late October, we're coming out with a land play, right, um, I'm sure you've seen those on other platforms as well, on other l1's, for example, some famous ones are like decentraland, uh, sandbox, but what we're doing is we're going step by step, right? We're not promising the metaverse play, that was never the kind of the goal. The goal is you'll have a social platform, just like your ENS, it's a written address, whereas on our land play, it's a visual land piece, yeah, and it represents you in the web three space. Also with creamy staking and cream staking, so that's a big one that we're looking forward to, cream lands. Um, I'm excited, I hope other people are, but it's going well, it's a lot of work because we're trying to coordinate like 14, 15, 16 different projects on this one land project, so if you, I guess, for your listeners, if you want to get kind of the introduction to hedera, I would say this is again a show, this is a very good place to start, because you would have exposure not just the creamies, not just our project, but all those partners as well.

Genfinity – King Solomon – Founder & CEO
‍Yeah, and I think you mentioned um a partnership or collaboration with um a project in the Solana ecosystem. Do you guys have plans for cross-chain aspects moving forward?

Creamies – Matt - Founder
‍Ah, man, you're asking for too much information, it's all of me. So, yes, uh, we do have a Solana partner with Gangster's Paradise, they're a metaverse platform, they're building it out now, it looks very good. I will say a lot of metaverse plays going in and out, not just on Solana, not just on Eth, but on Hedera as well. But, yes, we do have future plans. I don't think I've ever exposed this, uh, publicly, but we do have future plans for across chain, and when we say cross chain, it's not so much, okay, we're just going to release the same thing on another chain, yeah, what we're trying to do, we're actually working with Hedera devs for, uh, the sofa Metamask integration for Hedera, yeah, huge, yeah, it's huge, and I don't think a lot of people understand how big that is, but people like yourself, um, probably do understand how big, that is so yeah?

Genfinity – King Solomon – Founder & CEO
‍Where space is ease of, I mean it's really use. Mass adoption comes a lot down to user experience and tools that people are already used to utilizing. Um, for sure be great Hedera, uh aspects being able to seamlessly integrate with Metamask because a lot of people, you know, the majority of people in the space use Metamask.

Creamies – Matt - Founder
‍So, I like to shout out HashPack, uh the wallet on Hedera right now they are by far head and shoulders the best wallet I've ever used, and I've used a lot. I've been on, you know, many chains, um, they've got the best wallet. I just don't know what else to say about it, but the fact is if I tell you Solomon, um, make a new wallet right, whether it's Phantom, whether it's Metamask, whether it's HashPack, it's like, no, that's too much friction, bro. I'm not doing that right. That's the fact of it. But if you're using Metamask, like you said, most of the web 3 traffic goes through Metamask, so it's like, all right, we could integrate Metamask with Hedera, why don't we use that, not just bridging, like because we have bridges already, um, Hashport did a great job on social, amazing job. I've used other bridges many times, but not just bridging, but just a wallet interoperability, so to say, yeah, it's huge, because you want less friction. Making a new wallet is a lot of work, man, and it's a lot of friction, and we understand the value proposition of that as well, so it's like, you want to make a new wallet, it's like, no, you're most so you're not already in your ecosystem, I don't know, target or audience wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do that if you told me, oh, there's a great project on Ethereum, it's like, bro, I already you know, liquidated my ethereum, I'm not going to do that. I already liquidated my Solana, I'm not going to do that. So I understand, okay, if I could use the same wallet and bridge it in the wallet and, you know, use the same thing, but it's like, okay, I don't have to do the 24 key, you know, seed phrase, I don't have to do the 12 word c phrase, and I don't have to make a whole new address. It's so much easier, right, because we went from ethereum to BSC to avax and Phantom, it's like, okay, that's normal, but to create a whole new wallet and learn a whole new wallet and just the whole ecosystem, it's a lot of friction, man.

Genfinity – King Solomon – Founder & CEO
‍Yep, no, I agree 100, um, for anybody interested in learning more, um, monkey, uh, but I know you already mentioned creamlands.com. Any other links or sites that you'd like people to join, and I should say on Genfinity within the project showcase, I think we've already stood up probably a lot of the links, um, so if you guys are on there, you can check it out, but uh, coming from you, Matt, you know where would you recommend people go to learn more about the ecosystem that you're building, and maybe even the Hedera ecosystem like, like we've been talking about.

Creamies – Matt - Founder
‍This is actually perfect for cream lands. Um, normally, before we launch creamlands.com, I would show creamy stock space for our project, but creamland.com showcases again, not only us, but all our partners, which includes the number one wallet, the number one DeFi, the number one domain service, right, so creamelands.com and it'll kind of point you in the right directions.

Genfinity – King Solomon – Founder & CEO
‍Awesome, great, thank you, Matt. Um, this is the cliche question that I always ask, but uh, and certainly not financial advice to anybody, but I've got to ask you, when moon.

Creamies – Matt - Founder
‍When moon? I feel like we are doing well as far as uh, price action and NFA. I always you know, you always got to be careful, right, yeah, but um, when moon, who knows, uh, hopefully it's when we bring on more, we onboard more users from ethereum, from avax, from BSC, because we're in such a juvenile ecosystem that, uh, really one person with tens of thousands of dollars, you know, like pennies, for example, it's gonna move the whole market, and we've seen it time and time again on Hedera, and I guess that's why we're still here building, right, on such a young, young ecosystem, and we see the upside, there's great upside in a young ecosystem, them in this space it's early or you're late, right, yeah, and that's what we are on hedera, we're very early, there's a future here while I see, for example, on OpenSea, um, traffic 99 down, 90 down for the month, right, um, we're up, right, Hedera is up and that's undeniable, the numbers, you can't numbers don't lie, right, so yeah.

Genfinity – King Solomon – Founder & CEO
‍It's just I mean, I think a lot of people, I think a lot of people don't realize too that like, you know, you look at ethereum 2015 and it's, they've got a seven year head start on uh, user interface, like ux and UI, uh, and you start dealing in other networks that you know, different, have different utility, um, value propositions, building out the same type of uxs and uis are interoperating with something like Metamask in a way that people are comfortable with, and then you look at the numbers, it's a really interesting thing to start looking at all of those things in tandem, um, it starts to paint a little bit of a picture, and I think even what you were saying, like within, you know, when you onboard one user that might have, you know, maybe maybe some somewhat of a whale or whatever, just for an example, it's like metcalf's law, if one comes over, you can assume that more are going to come with that individual, right, so it'll be very very interesting to watch, um, I want to leave it because I all these uh, interviews that I've been doing, I kind of um, would love for you to you know, either if you have a message for the community, um, or just kind of something to close us out with, um, you know, I think we're this market uh, has been kind of crappy for the past handful of months now, so if you have a message for the community or anything that you want to say in closing us out, that'd be fantastic.

Creamies – Matt - Founder
‍I guess my message is um, yeah, we are in a bear market, it's very obvious that we're in a bear market, not just with the nfts, but overall macro not looking good. But we're winning, um, and that's because people see the value we're trying to build, and we, we're here every day and all day, and it's, it's not one of those projects where we're trying to show you on things that just doesn't make sense, we're very logical people, again, we're very, um, I don't know if this is a good thing, but we have a lot of corporate experience, so we know what we have to build in it for value proposition, right, because we, we dealt with, uh, Fortune 500 companies, again, international companies, and it's not like we're, we're here playing games. I, I quit my career, which I honestly would have made more money, um, since, uh, March if I stayed there, I'm right there with you, man, right, right, you know, so you know what the jump is, it's not easy, but it's like, all right, I'm gonna, I'm Dgenning, right by your side, fam, I'm not here just, you know, blowing air into your butthole, um, I'm here to bring real value for the long term, because that's what I need to do to feed my family, um, that's what it is, that's what it is, man. I, I guess that's it, yeah.

Genfinity – King Solomon – Founder & CEO
‍No, I really appreciate it, uh, it's been a fantastic, uh, interview for sure, uh, 10 minutes, 10 questions, 10 answers, I know that we went over, um, all of those things, um, but if you guys want to check out creamlands.com to learn more, and you guys did get some alpha within this as well, um, potentially cross chain aspects, and not just cross chain, but even bigger, it's building out those onboarding mechanisms through like interoperability surrounding Metamask and things like that, so I have to say thank you very very much, Matt, or otherwise known as monkey, and the Hedera community, and looking forward to talking with you again in the near future.

Creamies – Matt - Founder
‍Thank you, Solomon, thank you for having me
