Builders Meetup with Ethereum NS

is live but I say it's a transition screen I'll double Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I So, uh, hey everyone. Uh, is this, uh, can you guys hear this?

Okay, maybe a little bit further, right?

Okay. So uh once again uh welcome everyone to the EKL uh collaboration with Ethereum uh network school right

yeah so uh this session is actually a live stream so I'm just testing right there so it clearly works so uh yeah so uh first of all uh maybe let's give a round of applause to our venue sponsor uh CCAC So CCC is actually uh Malaysia's build hub where they uh they support like founders on like on things like capital also uh things on community and spaces and yeah so we have a few like familiar uh new faces here. So hands up anyone who is coming from a network school. Wow that's quite a lot. Yeah. So uh welcome to uh KL.

Yeah, we have a huge agenda today. So uh let's get started. Point there. Yeah. Okay.

So uh yeah. So we have a packed agenda today. So like 6 pm or 6:15 is about announcements and money round up. Morning round up meaning that everything that's happening uh most notable events in Ethereum or in web three. Then we move on to uh 50-minut talks by uh we start with Veronica and co from uh Ethereum network school.

Raise your hand. Uh can see there. Yeah. Next is uh at least Malaysia is going to share on their session as well. And lastly, we're going to have uh Sam Sanch, where are you?

Yeah, he's going he's a longtime uh uh popup uh CT organizer. He's going to share about his experience uh building committees in Malaysia. And then uh 7:00 p.m. to 7:30, we're going to have like uh lightning talks I think uh five projects has confirmed so far.

And yeah, so raise your hand if you are one of the uh project leads here. So okay. Yeah. Yeah. 7:30 to 8:30 is makan and leak is actually means uh eat leak means chill and hang out.

So yeah, there you go. The first uh the first Malay that you will know today. Okay. uh still a few announcement. I think one this one is more relevant to like uh the people who have been in the in in the in the in the Malaysian uh meetup space because uh we actually used Meup for like six seven years ago until then but recently after they upgraded I think uh they are charging quite a hefty fee.

So we are moving all 100% to Luma right now. There you go. Next up I think I just want to do a quick shout out to the white paper readings uh club. So for context, the white paper reading club is actually like you gather a group of people who are like interested or like who are passionate about like protocol things like uh white paper studies, zero knowledge study group and then you combine them all together and then you like uh you have a study group then compile them into documents and you share it online. Yeah.

So far they are like uh across eight cities including uh I think in Singapore and also San Francisco and glad to say that Malaysia is also like one of the eight uh countries that are hosting this uh and they actually hosted nine sessions uh so far and uh we just had uh our last session last week as well. So if you guys are interested in like joining this weapon club let me know. Oh, and last uh anyone here not familiar with Defcon? Okay. Okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, so uh yeah, there no need to explain that much. So, they are hosting um academic engagement program where they would give like up to 300 USD in financial support for hosting events. Yeah. And you are eligible if you are a student or you run workshops.

Yeah. And that's the link down there you where you can uh access it. Yeah. So now I'm going to move into the uh roundups. Yeah.

First up, I think uh I would say like April has been uh quite a dark month so far. I think there's over like uh 10 plus projects and like in a total of 600 million uh projects uh of funds being stol. So uh jokes aside if you are one of the victims uh condollesence to you but uh upon like a brief like look through like almost all of these are mostly like human errors you know so like uh like there's a weakness in the protocol design yeah so good to know okay so I'm going to talk about uh the cap hack because uh this this series actually linked to a multiple series of events that that's that's running. So, TLDDR the hacker drain uh around 292 million worth of uh RS Eve and the way they do it there's like three like uh I would say like uh three failure points first they managed to like somehow access to the um to the RPC of uh layer zero. is all my understanding where they are able to poison one of the RPCs and they uh do the main RPC where it leads to a fallback to the malicious RPC which then they are able to like uh call fake data to the the DVN of uh cap and since cap only has uh one DVN meaning like one decentralized verifier node there's no like there's no like second opinion to like verify buy it.

So they just click yes and that happened. And the third I would say like the and the third like uh point of failure is a didn't have a cap on the RS E market. So the so the exploiter is able to like to to to lend all this unbed RS to borrow large amounts of rep E causing the protocol to have a bad debt. Yeah, I'll move on on this later, but the TVL dropped around like 17 billion in 48 hours. And yeah, so this one is another spicy topics spicy topic on arbitring solen funds.

Uh who here is not familiar with L2B? Can I have a raise of 10? Yeah. So L2B is where like uh they rank protocols. Basically when you go on L2 you are things that you're concerned of is the will L2 uh take my money away is it safe for example so they divided projects into multiple stages stages two meaning like you're on trading wheel stage one is you have limited governance stage two is where you are fully decentralized and and like one of the like the points of being a stage one a survey council is that on stage one the survey council can act as uh at uh unilaterally in emergencies.

So this is what happened uh when they decide to freeze all the stolen tons and this sparks a whole debate on like on like user protection versus decentralized ideals. So this is something that should take a look. Oh, also an uh follow up on the like a hack. There's actually this like notion that's happening today where they do a defi united campaign where they uh try to like bail out a from the back deck. So if you can see like these are the contributors.

So you might not see very clearly but arbitum mental efy layer zero like so they basically donate uh the funds so that they can uh get help to get out of the bad dep and so far I think there's around like 8,000 transfers so meaning like uh normal users are also donating uh that their part as well. Yeah. Oh okay. So anyone here who who is ICO investor of Mega E? Okay.

Okay. So I think uh I think this is quite an interesting one. So uh they PG six months ago but decided that's not the ideal market. So like they did like a KPI where you have like need to have 10 apps and also like we have like 100k like transactions. So yeah, there you go.

There's 10. I think there's one that there's 11 and then one left or something like that. Yeah. So like but yeah this interesting way of like setting KPIs and trying to like uh go through the market but I I did a brief research like only 12% of like 1025 token sales take profitable I think 85 of them are below the GE price but this might in hindsight be uh optional choice I don't hold any mega e but yeah okay this is the last part uh the reason why I put this here is that we've been listening a lot of things like Ethereum is no longer focusing on this uh L2 like uh road map focusing entirely on L1. So like this is actually the first upgrade that they are taking place 2026 to improve Ethereum L1 right and it's targeted to be around like June.

So like the things that they are trying to improve right now are three things is the gas speed reduction, parallel scaling and uh removes like uh enemy demand. But I think like all these three combined into one is quite vicious because all these are like built set in stone in how Ethereum operates how MM has been there since day one uh and gasp reduction. So, uh, good to know. I think that's all of my sessions. Thank you guys very much.

Yeah. Next up, I'm going to pass this to uh Coast and Veronica on their uh sharing on what's happening at uh in uh Ethereum NS

because we can pass the mic back and forth.

Yes, we have there's Thank you everyone that's here from Ethns, ETL and wider community. We know that there's some people that might be filing in. I'm Veronica from network school.

Yeah. Go on ETNs. So more on the Ethereum side.

Yeah. So I guess I'll just back and forth it. Ethan, it's a permanent Ethereum community node at Network School in Forest City, Malaysia about 3 4 hours um away from here about an hour away from Singapore. Um, we, this is a photo of the first day of the month of last month. We're around 500 people now and growing very quickly, but the Ethereum community has lasted before even either of us were there.

And there are several people here that afterwards when you're getting to know the Nsers can talk about how Ethereum has been growing. Before network school, we were both in the Zuzaloo pop-up city Ethereum ecosystem. And so my ancestry also is from the Ethereum side, but I'm also here representing network school.

Oh, thank you. I was wondering like

Yes, exactly. Like but this this is a very exciting like moment in a sense that we actually have uh the foundation come by uh NS back in February. They had the inperson conversations about the situation with like L2s. Oh, that's that's an L2. No, I'm kidding.

like anyway um so right now it's as you can see here it's like this is pretty much all friends there's a lot of the representation of uh NS build uh projects in this sense or just as well like friends that had passed through the network school uh in the last few months just even before all right I mean I think we go into deeper into slides yeah we click play if we go to the next Yeah, this is a fast track.

Oh,

we go. Yeah, there you are.

Yeah, if you just go to

econ.io. This is going to be the fever dream version of like just kind of like what was uh in February which was quite exciting just starting to have these conversations with of course Ethe foundation friends of how it would look like to had a permanent presence on it actually muted it on this version but on X if you want to hear the very loud imagine

it's pretty like cardio hardcore kind of like electronic music

you can see this is the co-working space at network school where some of our larger events at NS are held um for the open days that we'll talk about that are happening in May. We may have some of them in the co-working space, some of them in our in our cafe. Yes. All right, I'll pop back. I think that's it's looping at this point.

Yeah. So this will this will be familiar for NSRS but we have a loop of learn earn and burn and fun at network school. This is when Mario Hav from EF presented on protocol a couple months ago. Oh great.

Oh that's amazing. You can just interrupt session and that happens online. It's going to happen again. Fellowships are open right now. You are like your technology.

That's actually a great opportunity to get in the background to start working at your foundation.

We burn together. Um there's sports. There's fun. You know, if you join us even for just a day, we'll can work into some of the fun activities that we have like sports. But this was the Nis Cup which is pickle ball badman football volleyball that happens every few months at network at network school and Alak was wearing the a great shirt in or from Buenosar is here.

So I thought the one that Conrad's also wear that was good representation and then we earned together. We have some exciting online and offline bounties coming up for Ethereum month. Um there's a few of them sneak peek here and so that will be eventually at ns.comthereum. We'll blast that out on the luma once it's available.

The fun thing is likely you can hack uh online. I mean we would love to have you of course actually more information.

Yeah. Yeah. So we'd love for you to get involved even from KL or for people watching online and you can share it largely with the your friends and um colleagues that want to also participate in ETH NS or network school from afar. And then we hacked together most recently we had from thanks to ETH global coconuts and some snacks as we idiated for the current ETH global open agents hackathon. Raise your hand if you are hacking in this hackathon.

It's live now. All right. So a couple of us, it started at midnight last night. So we have now a couple of weeks for that.

We might like 90% I would say visited by the main sponsor at our school.

Yeah, it's being in Forest City is a nice location because people can come over from Singapore as well for a day. And then finally, we want to share a little bit about the upcoming Ethereum month or Genesis block month as he came up with. Um because as we said NS is permanent, ETHNS is permanent and has been around for a while but it's growing and this month is an opportunity for having a particular shelling point of events and programming around Ethereum. There will be open days as mentioned and now we will talk about a few of those and you can already start to register for them. So then this is a photo of the cafe where with a large enough crowd then we take over the network school cafe from network schoolers that want to work.

So we're planning on just doing that on Saturdays at least in May to let people work during the week but they're good opportunities for you to get to know people at NS and come in for a day if you can't join for the month because of course we would love for you to join for the entire month or longer. So a few of them I'm not sure if the bass guys have made it yet so I'll share a little bit about bass. Uh Bass has moved in to network school permanently and they just opened up a base builder loft. There will be a launch party on the 8th and right before then on the 7th there's going to be a virtual humanoid robot demo day in the cafe. Then we have these three open days that we'll talk about planned already.

There is some chance that even more will happen in May, but they're definitely happening on a monthly basis as well. But we would love to invite you all to these three. So first we have EVM day May 16th. Per availability we are going to coordinate buses from Koala Lumpur as well as from Singapore for you to join for the day. We understand that it takes a bit longer from KL.

So likely we will try to have the the most the strongest pro programming happen in the afternoon so that you don't have to leave at a very very early hour to get there but we'll still have things starting earlier for those that are there earlier. Um, several of these projects will be there that day. Some of these projects may end up joining earlier later in the month. But Luma will be the source of truth. That's how you'll know what exactly the days is going to be happening for each of these open days or throughout the month.

Then open hardware day with leaders in open hardware including we'll have a guest from Singapore, the Andrew Bunny Hong, an open hardware hacker.

Yeah. like open hardware is becoming a big thing uh and the quality information and also being pushed by like this there's a push to have the whole life cycle like being so it's just kind of opening and keystone this is really big so it's going to be fun it's just a start we're going to have more power going

I'd also put out an ask for anyone here and anyone online what NS is particular ly interested in connecting with student groups and faculty from mechanical engineering or any departments that are interested in working on hardware. Even if they're not familiar with open hardware, we'd love for that to be an open conversation on chip building. That's for open hardware day. And then finally, we're very excited that Logos is joining us next month with for several weeks. There will be different workshops and May 24th will be an open day focused on privacy where you will learn to build on the Logos tech stack and spend the day building.

We'll also coordinate buses if there's enough interest so you can join us for this day. They have something called the Lambda Prize that is active with I think overall they've set aside $500,000 to go into these different prizes and this will also then be visible in the ns.com/thereum or logo. You can then explore what the bounties are, which ones are live or not. But this will be a good opportunity to meet with the devril, learn the skills, and get direct feedback on what you're building while competing in these prizes.

I love to add like lambda prize is something actually right now starting for it. So that's quite interesting. In the case of base, I don't know if base patches XYZ is still open, but oh damn. But anyway, and that's that's always good to keep in mind.

All right. And then we just announced um a couple hours ago and we're very excited to be partnering with archive which is a web3 database in the Gollum ecosystem. They are doing with us a builder challenge that starts on the May 16th. It will run for one week and the winners there will be two winners that win a free month at network school. We actually met Archive when we won their hackathon and pointed us RAS back in um the fall and just kind of independently fell in love with their tech because it works very well.

It's you don't need to use AWS or a central server or central database at all besides maybe Versel um to build an app. back in Buenosares, there was a big DEP DAP fair event or like the world fair of DAPs or something and cloud fair went down and all the DAPs went down and we were sitting there like well our hackathon project didn't fall. So I think there's something very exciting about decentralized databases and decentralized storage um as can speak to with swarm. So this is also a luma all the information will be here. This will also be open to virtual participants as well.

And then crossbar, do you want to speak to it or

I mean it's this this is very very difficult tech. this was you know hands on uh so we're starting with the content challenge which is just understanding the basics of how this look like and I think it's a it's a very good moment because it's like just I mean the foundation is supported by organizations push for open hyper is officially launch so this

you heard it first here stream like I don't know if it's been announced that was announced at DX days

no it's announced but it's not So it's cool to know this.

Yeah. And as he said, it's very difficult. And so when we were speaking with Crossbar, the idea was, can we do a hardware hackathon? Probably not yet until we have maybe a machine shop and as mentioned more connections with mechanical engineering faculty and students and you know hacker hubs in in KL and in Singapore. So

exactly. So in the meantime we can do a content challenge with them but they are interested in actually having more hardware focused hacking in the future. Um and then finally

this one is still close on Monday. So yeah this is it happens in a hybrid way. So if you have a project that's live you're building a new feature you can buy. You have something new you can buy. There's two two pathways.

So you can you can literally have very small thing or solicit on the other side you have you can also have I think the camp is free but just as well you're blind you join there's going to be a selection also the projects and you're going to be able to go beach at the Southeast Asia auction week in back which is kind of fun I will say that's like the 20 of May and there's then there's a mid demo which I don't know they had to find like where is going to be just yet and there's a a closing demo. So those two are also in person uh space but there's a very good opportunity just to continue your building or start building you are on the fence. Uh so yeah you can just go to.com and buy and that's it from us. We if you're interested in joining us on campus in May or at any time you can um apply with ns.

comsapply or talk to any of the nsers here. I'm sure they would also be happy to talk to you about network school. And then the calendar again is luma.comns. And right now we don't have a special group chat or anything.

Of course there's the ekl chat. We're happy to share opportunities there. Base Malaysia's chat. But I think subscribing to the calendar is the best way. We can just blast things out and at network school if you if you join the network school community then we also have the chats there.

Pretty much the best source of truth I guess.

Yeah. Thank you all so much. Really happy for this collaboration.

Uh I think I don't have time for one or two more questions.

Yeah.

Any questions?

Great. We covered it all.

Okay,

feel free to find us, Veronica.

Let's give a round of applause to Veronica, of course.

Uh, so next up, we're going to have uh Sam.

Uh, I think they're not here yet. Yeah.

So, uh, let's give a round of applause uh to Sam. says three years in battery. Is there a picker or should I something? Cool. Uh hi guys.

Uh so who here has been with EKL for at least uh 3 years or more? One some relatively new group. Okay. Uh two years or more? One year or more.

Okay. So new. Okay. So, um I'm going to be the old guy talking about some of the history and context uh leading up to this, but uh I want to share this cuz I think it's really exciting that we're here at this moment where uh in Malaysia and in the pop-up story uh a lot of stuff has actually uh happened and things that felt like opportunities really far away are actually just like right here uh for us. uh many people in the EKL community over the years uh have joined as students, people looking for things and in Malaysia sometimes used to reading about things online.

We're very online but we always feel like that somewhere else. Uh and even if you go for a hackathon, you're there for a few days. Uh so it's quite crazy that we get to actually just travel without changing using your passport and you get to be working on a month with people from all around the world uh on frontier tech in hardware and AI and all these things. So uh okay so the story here um obviously there's a lot of context and I'm going to give a fairly selective uh summary of this but three years ago uh a couple of things uh happened uh in early 2023 uh the first Zuzalu happened uh I don't know if anyone here maybe some of you were there some of you were part of it Veronica was part of it uh pretty interesting experiment and you know I remember being here in in Eve KL in KL being like oh this kind of cool experiment you know like uh FOMO we which saw us which were there but we're reading about it and stuff. Um and at the same time uh some of us started a small experiment within EKL that we called uh world tree which was really a study group thinking about like public goods uh regeneration and the social systems side of web tree.

Uh and I'm going to give you a quick retro jump to kind of like what some of those things were from there to give you a sense for what it looked like from where we were back in 23. Right? So uh back in May so like almost uh exactly three years ago uh this was the kind of like some snippets of the intro session that we did uh we were thinking about all working in web three but you know like web tree is part of the bigger world right and technology is about what world can we enable what what sort of possibilities do we want to create and so we were asking well what sort of worlds do we want to live in and what can be possible with all this technology uh so the study group idea was around public goods regeneration, social system design aspects of that. We spoke about many different things. I'm going to give the whole talk again, right?

But one of the things that we were reading about at the time was actually uh at this time it was just a book, right? Early 2023, there was ns.com book. Many of you have read this. Uh it's still there.

Uh and we actually later on that year had a discussion group around um the network state book, right? So the theories of like can uh an internet community actually become a country? Why why not? Uh all of those things. Uh and then we had this whole school bus concept of learning is more fun when you do it together.

It's really good to see the white paper reading group taking off in KL and so much learning is also happening at places like NS and pop-ups and all that too. So that was kind of a bit of what we were talking about in early 2023. Uh and later in the year right uh NS had I think one of their first conferences in Amsterdam. Maybe some of you were there. Uh I was watching a stream or something uh what October 2023.

Uh and then of course Eve KL had like uh the Sunway uh hackathon conference. Uh maybe some of you were there as well and maybe won some prizes and we had quite a few people, right? So this was back in 23, right? We were reading about Zuzalu. We were dreaming of study groups.

Uh and I started having a conference. So from book to conference uh and EFKL was doing um a pretty big hackathon like a lot of students involved at at the university uh two years ago 2024 uh really big year for Southeast Asia and I think um in the globalizing of the EVE ecosystem right like uh DevCon Southeast Asia uh at the end of the year brought to DevCon before that lots of big events like many of you were part of programs and uh in Malaysia other places that were all part of this uh story right like uh EKL went uh bigger right I think EKL 2024 was at KCC which is not just a university it's kind of like almost the swankiest convention center in Malaysia right so uh u pretty big uh NS went from conference to NS school right about August 2024 announcement um everyone was wondering what is near Singapore where is near Singapore what is that right and and now we know uh experiments like pagod uh that some of you were part of uh came to being as part of the Road to DevCon program. And in the pop-up world, a lot of things happened. And uh the big chunk of stuff on the on the right is uh in October November 2024 in the leadup to Defcon C uh that was possibly like the largest poly pop-up gathering uh ever where I think almost all of those groups like about 12 15 or so at least were uh having different pop-ups happening in Chiang Mai uh at the same time. Right?

So some of you may have been part of these things. Uh my own project something that got a whole tree. Uh coun which has now grown a little bit was also incubated during this period. So part of the school bus idea became a bit of a reality thanks to the culture and possibilities of pop-ups. But there were also groups on decentralized science uh like invisible garden and all these other things that happened in the pop-ups and have grown since then.

uh the Zuzaloo went from being one conference to kind of almost a constellation of many different pop-ups that have that continue to like um grow and many of them have since explored how do we get from popup to maybe longer term permanent the trajectory that we also see uh NS uh being on. So a lot happened in that one year from 23 to 24 we saw these changes and from Malaysia it meant that you know like for the first time uh DevCon Ethereum the world was actually pretty accessible uh for here um in Ethiopia. One of my first times in the country uh and probably the best country name for an EVE event because you just capitalize three letters and that's your name. Uh and I managed to end the year like uh at Defcon connect in Argentina. I think some of you were there as well.

I see someone's got the shirt on, Conrad. So um Pat HD Patagonia. So pop-ups by this point have actually become kind of like part of a culture. Some of them are stable enough to keep doing it and plan uh a year ahead or more. Uh if KL like uh Cunk this year we uh last year we managed to actually do kind of like a whole study group in conjunction with the summer protocols program uh supported by the Ethereum Foundation.

We did a week of the program uh study group here in Malaysia. about 20 people were part of this and we were very happy to host our final symposium in September last year uh in conjunction with EKL. So there's actually a video of that final symposium on the EFKL uh YouTube stream uh if you want to check that out. Right. Um and by this point it's about far enough into the pop-up experiment that at the end of last year uh Vitalik actually writes a post reflecting on what have we learned from pop-up cities uh so far right like it's by the end of 2025 it's almost 3 years into the experiment and he talks about has a whole post about it which I highly recommend you guys read.

We can discuss that if you want where he talks about like uh tribes and zones and the kinds of culture that pop-up cities are really good at um incubating. And meanwhile uh on the right right like uh NS going from network school V1 a few months at the end of 2024 right uh enters V2 in early 205 about a year ago. uh and part of the bigger strate which is all online uh you can see that like uh it's like uh there's a whole dimension of like why pop-up cities are interesting based on the number of people and the duration right and like uh NS has I think um with we do exploring how can we create containers for startup societies that actually explore different combinations of both the number of people but also the duration because the real unlock of public cities has been um meeting 100 people for 2 days can be very powerful But then all your follow-ups, all your collaborations are online after that because everyone flies back home. But when you have a pop-up city and you're there for 2 weeks, 2 months, you get to actually do things together and start your experiments and a lot of things emerge out of there and you actually uh many people found it to be much richer experience. So we're kind of on this frontier of different ways that people come together, different ways that value gets created, different ideas, different collaborations, different communities.

And uh I think you'll see that like uh I don't know if NS is on like V3 now or V4 or something, but it's it's working. it way down that that stack and I think like uh experiments at ENS this permanent node actually part of this evolution and again it's from a Malaysian perspective in 23 we didn't expect or anticipate this would be happening here so uh for those of you who are just joining the ETL community now like you're that lucky it's it's a lot more uh possibility that we have here now than we had before and this year right uh we're only in April or so but there's already some interesting things that are happening right uh DevCon is going to be in Asia again uh it's going to be in India as many of you already know at the end of the year uh like uh there's many other pop-ups right like uh the is going to be in Shanghai I'm actually going to be there uh we're going to be collaborating with ENS trying to connect some of the global nodes around those things I'll talk a bit more about that and what Cank is doing at M Shanghai uh in a bit right uh but and NS is growing nodes right like ENS is a permanent rolling kind of node like uh I've been visiting NS on and off since the since 2024 before right when they started and uh every time I go there's a new development in place right they've gone from being all in the hotel to having their own co-working space to having different housing the team has grown so like it's really like an experiment that has advanced uh I was reading about Jor earlier today and I don't know how many of you knew before this that in Johor it's the second largest according to Wikipedia which the citation is from the economist I think so it it feels like legit Johor has the world's second largest artificial intelligence hub or something around data centers of a particular type that are used for AI, right? That's crazy for a Malaysian that we've always thought about things that's out there, but to be next to this and not just the second largest AI hub, but probably the largest in the world that is both US and China because the ones in I think the largest is in Virginia and I'm pretty sure that's mostly US and not China. So, uh to have the chance to be between these things and learn and tinker on them today is kind of uh kind of interesting. uh and yeah so a whole bunch of experiments happening uh in Latin America like our friends at like Netex and Prosper like exploring uh how to think about the stack of infrastructure you need for network societies uh Chiang Mai where it started back in 2024 is now working with their local government where they've declared the area where a lot of the pop-ups were in back in 2024 to be a nomad funding district.

So you've got government involved trying to prototype what a zone for digital nomads and builders could be like. Uh so we're in a few years down um a lot of these partners have grown, right? Uh there's a picture there of Malaysia's digital minister who was just at NS like in the past few weeks, right? So I I did that was not bingo card entering this year, right? So um crazy connections are happening, possibilities are there and it's a crazy time for the world but it's also a lot of crazy opportunity and so maybe this is something to be thinking about.

So um the last thing I'll talk about is just uh what we're doing at Mushanghai this year as part of uh Congs which is an experiment that grew out of World Tree and some of those things uh the MOO is one of the city organizers that some of you will know people from. uh they've organized things uh all over the world from Ghana to Argentina uh Thailand, Osaka and other places. Uh and this year they have the chance to actually do it in Shanghai and they plan to bring um hundreds of uh builders uh around from around the world to be a Chinese builder for a month. Uh it's exciting. They're actually partnering with like uh big Chinese companies but also some local Chinese governments to to enable this.

Uh, China's obviously a big frontier of tech. If you've been watching the news anytime in the past few years, you've seen the maybe the robots dancing and the the launch of Deep Seek last year and all these other things, right? But China for many people outside of China has in the past few years not been very easy to get into, right? Like visas have been challenging even from Malaysia like we only had I think last year when visa free access became possible again. So many people are curious about it and it's exciting that this year right where China has made it easier for many countries to come in that a program like this exists right because uh whether whatever you think of the politics whatever the the things that are being invented in China today are going to enable different kinds of lives everywhere in the world whether it's solar panels or electric vehicles or AIs or robots all those things and what we're trying to do with our CPAN program in uh Shanghai next month is to say what are the most solar on portions of the futures that are possible all over the world uh using this generation of technology.

If solar panels become super cheap, what becomes possible in the Pacific Islands? Uh what kinds of new um economies become possible in places when robots become like affordable? Uh questions like that. So we doing stuff like this but we're doing it partly in Shanghai but also in collaboration with other nodes where I think we expect over the ENS and MU Shanghai program to be able to do some kind of like inter node kinds of like syncups. So uh whether you are be able to join ENS or maybe join some of us in Shanghai or other places right we're also trying to explore how can these constellation of network societies actually be something bigger than just people in different places but also maybe explore connections and ideas in the same way that being part of this uh web three and pop-up journey has actually enabled connections uh I made so many new friends in different places around the past few years in these things and I'm sure many of you will have the same chance to do so as well.

So um that's that's all I have to share. I just want to give some context for how crazy it is that we get to be here today um at this moment. So thanks for listening. I'm going to hand back uh to the host.

Thank you Sam. Uh any questions uh from the floor? It's a quick one. Uh if no let's give a round of applause to Sam

one question. Oh yeah first thank for you thank you for your presentation if you could go back just a few slides. There was something about regenerative infrastructure for network societies. No I think it's forward another one or Yeah, on the bottom right could you bottom right could you tell a bit more about that?

Sure. So uh this is a project by friends uh and they are doing um I'm sure they're doing with you kind of like a law and um infrastructure kind of like what is the legislation you need to create a new kind of like uh so you're going to be prosper uh basically spending a few weeks to get like people experts and like people who know like free trade zones and like other kinds of things together to actually protect the stuff right because like code isn't just computers right like laws and certain kinds of laws enable different kinds of prosperity kind of like so they actually have anal next month right so excited because we'll try and connect with them to us maybe to Shanghai as learn from those things as they're happening at the same time. So, um yeah, it's something for all these things. I'll still be around. So, hit me up if you question.

Thanks. Yeah. Yeah. So, uh give me a sec. Let me Okay.

Uh never mind. I just uh so uh let's welcome uh Noel who is leading uh base Malaysia to give share about what's happening uh in uh in network school uh from this.

Yeah, thank you. Hi everyone. Um thank you the network school team for the invitation. Um it's Noel here. I'm the managing partner of active week and also the community leader for base Malaysia.

Um we also the organizer for Malaysia flagship week. So something very exciting to share, we just kind of like launched our base builder loft at network school is that level three of the network school near the library. So if anyone wants to kind of like use the space to connect with more base builders can reach out to the team and welcome everyone to join us. Um upcoming in the May itself we are going to have a hackathon with the wos team for robotic hackathon. So it's going to be on the 7th of May uh at the NS cafe.

So welcome everybody to join us for the demo day and on the 8th itself we are going to have a base builder love uh launching event with some good food, good drinks and probably DJ. So see you guys there and thanks for having me.

Okay. Uh thanks Noel. So uh right now we're going to have like uh like uh the second part of the presentation which is uh we're going to share like six five minute presentation. So okay so uh is Namu uh here right now? Okay.

Yeah. Let me share this and then Okay guys let's give a round of applause to Namu. You have five minutes.

Uh can I get the clicker as well?

Oh yeah. Yeah, thank you. All right, how do I use this? Sure. All right.

Uh, hello everybody. Uh, my name is Thomas. Um, I've been in uh, crypto since, uh, late 2013. Uh, previously I worked at Coinis for a couple of years and I joined the network school back in March. Uh, amazing decision uh, great environment, high concentration of very interesting people.

uh but most importantly allowed me to focus and start working on my project that I was thinking of and was very passionate about for quite some time. Um so the project is called Namu and um it is built for uh Gen Z. Uh why Gen Z? Because it is the generation that cares the most about the environment but also at the same time uh there's a generation that struggle uh with finances. Um, over 34% of Gen Z have zero savings.

Um, over close to 50% uh feel saving is pointless. Um, and I'm not surprised. If you look at the average rate on a US bank account, it's about 0.5%. And uh maybe if you if you use a app like SoFi or whatever, that's going to give you 4%.

So I um I want to help uh solve this uh by um making uh the yields that are available in the DeFi ecosystem accessible in an easy way uh abstract away the complexities uh but still keep what is important in crypto which is um transparency um and self-custody um and then also at the same time uh support Gen Z in their interest if in contributing to good causes. So, it's fairly simple. The stack is easy. It uses uh privy self-custody wallets. It connects to wallets that many of you already know like morpho maker and so on.

Um and then there's a couple of things that it does in a in a novel way. Um so the first uh thing that that that it does it allows the user to split the yield that is being generated for them. So let's say if you manage to generate 8% of yield, you as the user can choose, okay, uh 20% will go to a good cost to a charity and 80% I'll keep for myself. Uh maybe I'm feeling a little bit more financially secure, so I'll change it the next day and do 50/50, right? Um so this allows for frictionless giving.

Um the the amount you give scales with the the amount of money that you put in. And essentially this is kind of the prototype that I'm working on. So the third main thing that it does it it gamifies the whole experience. I want to speak the language of Gen Z. Uh and I think a lot of you here kind of you know grew up with gamification.

So on one side you have the wealth aspect which motivates you to save money. Uh it has different achievements different goals that you can say set for yourself and on the other hand uh you have the motivating and gamified factor when you donate to a charity. So in this example, uh I want to start first with conservatory um jungle conservatory aspects. And there's a jungle that will grow with you over time as you contribute uh more money. And uh just as a fun fact, one of the um partners for generations is Rainforest Trust.

Uh they support Borneo and Malaysia Sabah. Um they they're one of the ones that have higher scores when it comes to um donation checkers and so on. Um, so that's that's a that's a peak on on the impact side. Here's again a little bit peak on the wealth side. Um, and that's it.

I actually forgot to put in the last slide, I think. Um, so, uh, if you're curious about the app, uh, you want to try, there's a landing page right now. You can go to namu.inance. It's spelled with two M's.

If you want to talk to me, you can talk to me. I'll give you my contact whatsoever. My apologies for skipping the last slide. So, thank you very much. for one question.

So, uh, let's get a round of applause.

All right. Uh, it's content down. Okay. What's your name?

Anton.

Anton. Okay. Everyone, let's welcome Anton or

uh hi, I'm Anon, founder of Content. We believe that content creators become a catalyst for free adoption. Uh so we are two co-ounders. I Ana, we both here. We building free since 2018 and built more than 20 blockchain products on the market.

uh and last three years we working on the science work about reputation economy and the creator in the creator content creator space. So now we are working on the product. So what's the story? A lot was invested in web3 space more than 1,000 uh more than 10 years of development one trillion dollars of investments and a lot of work especially with AI space it's working much more faster but unfortunately only 3% of people understand the real benefits of web free others just heard about them often with bad reputation or did not know it at all it's quite difficult for newcomers to cut through the noise to become a consistent web free user The reason is broken connection between uh projects and content creators. So we are building the product which unite content creators worldwide to make web free understandable and make it at scale all socials worldwide and uh all projects around web free space can launch their content pool uh across the AI reputation model and our algorithm which distribute suitable personalized task for each content uh creator based on their reputation metric uh which collected from their socials and they can prepare high quality content to earn the uh prepared tasks.

Uh we believe that creator value is predictable and all our algorithm estimates on the reputation metric allocate personalized task and offers and algorithm learn uh with each iteration and uh uh predict much more better. uh content out transform how content creators present web free becoming a bridge to mass free adoption and boost the free industry as a whole because the content creator market is 20 time bigger than web free and grow very fast every year. Uh we are open a new era of free engagement which started with a quest for user on boarding. Next it was yaps for community engagement and now it's time for content high quality produced by any levels of creators globally uh estimated and verifiable. Uh we are growing global community of content creators.

We launched our product one month ago and grow more than 500 content creators on boarded from different countries. uh we got a great support from the community which support the principles the DAO and uh that how we incentive produce only high quality content but not the qual quantity of the content and had a good cases with the projects which achieve a lot of content with a very short period of time in three days it's more than 20 pieces of content published and prepared by unique content creators worldwide uh and uh yeah for projects. It's very easy in a five minutes uh like prepare the content pool and tasks which will be personalized and distributed by algorithm automatically. So uh happy to help and we just launched our new uh like fully automated way where you can go by yourself try it and launch automatically with the algorithm without any personal work uh with anyone. So thank you for your attention.

If you have any questions happy to ask how do you how does the system understand the content creator is AI based is it slot like how do you which is it also be on the project founders to commit to it they just choose themselves. And what if if it's a project that chooses, what happens when there's like 10,000 content like will it be very manual or like how do you how will you like help those choose the best content for?

Yeah, thank you for for questions. Uh yes. Uh so we first time we analyze all the reputation data from socials and also with like connecting their wallet we collect more on chain data and based on this data we predict like different orers and suitable task for the term of this so social profile and with like completion of the first task we collect the new data about like engagement and what result it's give for the any project we should calibrate And based on this data we improve this algorithm and making it a lot of time and it becoming better and better with each um I want to ask also if this is purely a social because you compare yourself to Galaxy and also to so uh is there any aspect of sort of social good to this where we talk about you know content that proposition protocols that kind of incentive or is just purely social

uh so yes it's not new social so we aggregate all existing social it's like x YouTube Instagram and others uh and we making the monetization yes we compare like with a social five like infight but it's another way we not incentive quantity of the on the content. So we not incentive if you produce a lot of similar pro like content like spam and so on. You not get get any incentives from the protocol. You incentive you have only one incentive and you need to produce high quality content to achieve the better like metrics and based on this metric you will get better proposals on the next time.

What about the content? Do you have for indigenous protocols as well or just generally talking about Ethereum as a whole or these you know projects have to approach for this and start their own?

Uh yeah yeah it's depends of the projects. So yes it's usually like project launching the new update for the product or they like launching just launching the product or want to make like their difficult technology. So for example in privacy space it's very difficult how it works and they like launching the uh publication it could be science publication and ask for more content creators to make to make it understandable for their audience and they prepare the content it's in more easiest way and more understandable for much more larger audience than just uh just builders in web free space. more questions. I'm just curious about the numbers for the value.

Just want to know is there source for your question? Yeah. Is there like statistics?

Uh so you asking about the score like this?

How they finding out about the

Oh okay. Okay. Yeah. So for now we growing the initial community of content creators and we like still in beta and it's open access only for invite. So we believe like content creators which you already know can invite another like content creators and go for like invite uh basis it's also influence on their reputation.

So who invite who on the platform. So we happy to invite everyone if someone building content here. Yeah. Yeah. 97%

97. Ah, okay. Okay. Ah, okay. It's the first slide about 90.

Okay. Yes. It's in total number of people. So it's like open statistics like ho how much how many people like just uh created the wallet and trying to make any transactions in the free space if you asking about like uh uh how many people understand the web three if they are

uh you asking about the first slide. Okay, maybe we can discuss here after this presentation. Yeah, sorry.

Yeah, thank you.

Yes, sorry about that. I don't know your names, so I'm just calling out projects. Yeah. So, I think this one is more on like uh Yeah, this is you, right?

So, what's your name?

Gautam.

Gautam. All right. Let's give a round of applause to Gautam. Uh hi everyone. I'm Gautam.

I'm the founder of F.XYC. So, in F.XYC, XYZ uh what we're trying to figure out is how to use AI to make money online and uh so I think something is broken on the window. Uh so what I uh for my background I built Polomial.

So Polomial is a decentralized P on Ethereum. We have done over $9 billion in volume and we had 100,000 plus users and we built an L2 on Ethereum and we let people trade crypto, stocks, commodities, all these things on chain and we've been looking at it for a very long time like how the industry has been changing and okay so uh like everybody's using AI nowadays to make money. The biggest problem is like AI can't predict the future. Like there was this experiment a guy did. He was just giving data to AI like uh you know about movies just predict the box office prediction.

Even the state of the art models to the even the dumb models have 30% accuracy. So lot of people what I see is like they are like just giving AI like make money for me. It doesn't know how to make money because we didn't make them to make money. We made them to complete text and what they're really good at is completing text very specifically code. So if you can generate code there is a very very good chance that we can make money with it right and so if you look at uh crypto in general right uh bit far okay so if you look at crypto in general right uh there is primarily uh one thing that we can see right the people who make the most money are the power users like the ones who go first into a protocol uh like you know they saw like oh something something weird is happening over there.

Somebody tweeted about it. Those who are able to move can make a lot of money and they can make millions and they can do it like even with small amount of capital and that happens every time, right? Like recently there was an a hack I there are a lot of people who made a lot of money. But the thing over there is there is a specific edge that was there and that was only available to a select few of people. Now anyone can do it and so how do you do it?

like we have obviously like a chat interface like every other AI thing but what we are proposing is like instead of like you know going into a chat interface you have something where it's just a traditional trading interface and on the one side you can see that uh you know you this is me market making on hyperlit and I am just uh I told my agent to write a code and then I am running the code and it works just like a normal interface on hyperl like on the top I can just change it to a market order, this order, that order and it will just automatically change with it. And it sounds like something not a lot of people would do but this is something you would have seen right like you have you seen this thing like uh people say like there are these markets which are ending in like you know 5 minutes and like it's 90% accuracy and like it would be something like or like something weird market like is Jesus going to come back this month this year sort of markets. So a lot of people are making money with those things right but it's more like if you write a small script and you can make money with it but it's more like you need to do it then like you would have seen like people use tools for it but who wants to put money into a new thing and the problem is like it's it's unnecessary risk for you. It's better that you make that thing. And secondly, what we allow you to do is let's say somebody makes something like this.

You can just copy it and then the same thing will come for you and it'll be written again from scratch, right? And you can just uh you can obviously use their code. But it's better like you just copy each other's idea and then just make this thing. And this is coming from a new way like code is going to be like one of the biggest things problems in crypto is like we treated code as low for a very long time. And there is this bunch of people who think like if code is lower then hacking is legal because you let me do it.

But instead what you want to do is you want to just define the specification. You want to just say like this is what I want to do and these are the things that are not supposed to be done. and the AI agents will like sort of like manipulate the code over time. So that's one other benefit like you tell it what to do and then it generates a code and then you can turn on like auto improve and then it like slowly slowly improve the thing and then if it's seeing like something manicious you can like just get rid of it and it also figures out everything that is related to you right it will pull out data come up with like strategies or like let's say you're this is me market making so it was like figured out like these are the things I should track some or actual PNL it doesn't matter right like for you for your thing it will be something entirely different you're trading on poly market it will be like I don't know you're betting on weather you want to see the chart of the weather AI can do all these things and so what it will do is like for a normal user it would be like you'll see this browse page where you just go you browse some strategy you want to click and then you just run it by yourself if you want to change it you can change it or most likely it will be like someone shilling something on Twitter and you just click it and then you just do the same thing as everyone else. So this kind of reduces the alpha right and then like you know just like not a small amount of people money but like everybody can like do things.

So what do we do like other than like what uh if you think like you know just using cloud code yourself do like we manage the wallets the exchange connections we like you know put it in a TE so that like you know it's uh like not manipulatable there is also revenue sharing like you know if you make a strategy somebody forks it you get like some money from that uh you have telegram I mean there is a lot of stuff which which is more like something we have done for a a long time. So it's like sort of thing and one of the main things that we do is like every time you tell it to generate code it will make sure that everything that is written is uh automatically audited making sure like checks are there like for example like we used to do this thing called funding rate arbitrage which is price difference between exchanges and if you don't know that uh when like market crashing like how to handle that thing whatever money you made you'll just lose in like one random event but these are like things you'll get by experiences. So it's more like we built it like very custom for like trading use case and with all the knowledge that we had and so yeah and what thing one another thing you can do is like if it works like you can make it into a wa you can one click deploy a ERC4C2 uh a wault on Ethereum or like a wault on hyperlid and then others can use it you can make money and like yeah so it's works just like a normal exchange and you have positions orders all that kind of stuff it's a Yeah. Yeah, that's essenti. So in a nutshell you're you're joining agents to trade onchain giving them instructions and

uh yeah like uh you can think of it as like uh people come and you know like like you let's say you're trading on hyperl right you will first come and there will be like a hyperl trading UI it will just look like you're normally trading on hyperlid and then one day you feel like you have a spark or some idea and then you just tell it to the agent. Now it will create a new script for you to do something else and then like over time it will like have different specific things that you want like one example is like one of my friends was pay wanted to do like Ethereum so he wanted to do like he wanted to farm that exchange but he wanted to take hyperlid on the other side but he wants to still trade on hyper liquid right so he will just you just press a button and it will like open a position in both exchange at the same time and like you know whenever it's making a little bit of I need a lot of close but we make sure like it is written in a way that it is a little bit profitable. Yeah. But it's not guaranteed obviously

and you can also rent your you can rent your creations out you said.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's primarily for like how uh our uh flow works right like somebody tells something is happening and then they can just give it right and you can even use that tweet and that will generate the code and it will like you can just do it right like you can like like the the barrier for making money is now very low but people don't really see it right like you can just be like oh this event is happening how do I make money you just paste it over here it will like find out like okay what strategy to use and it will tell you like this this is a better way to place the order with this condition and it like try to minimize the loss and maximize the profit.

Yeah. Yeah, it is. Emily. Yeah.

So, um what I notic is able to interact mostly with audio or is anything on the table are we able to go into flash or

so like uh my experience comes from purp because that's when I've been building for the past four years. So our plan is to first do all the PS and which I think will be done like it's it's done in a way like you can add it in any any day like in like few hours you can add a new exchange. So it's going to be like first we'll add BS then we'll add lending because that's where like the leverage looping is happening and then we will go to spot and we'll slowly do everything and it's it's relatively easy. It's like cloud code right? It's more like a meta way to make anything.

because

I mean the the the problem over there is like there is a lot of nuances right like if you don't know how to use RPCs all that kind of stuff properly you'll just lose a lot of money trying right and even like if you're doing for some strategies if you don't collocate the server it doesn't work like market making if you're market making on your machine using cloud code you'll just lose thousands of dollars unless you are like so it needs to have that knowledge that's kind of like the gap that you're trying to kind of do what you're doing like what we're doing is something most people are trying like you know trying on cloud code I want to make money but then like after a week you are like it doesn't work and then like everybody's just spending credits it's kind of that so that's the gap that we're trying to solve.

Thank you. AI right

I mean it's it's an agent I mean the agent writes code and then there are other like it's more like let's say you told your agent to run funding rate arbitrage strategy it will like keep on running and then there will be an agent where it will like check every time like few hours like what you're doing is correct if something is wrong it will like send you a message on telegram say like oh something is wrong or you can say like you No, just do whatever you want and it will like decision.

You decide. Okay. I get the right.

I mean, no, no, it's it's more like if you're buying and selling, it's just like a normal trading event. You just have a buy and sell but like long and short button. You just press it and it will happen. So the whole solution problem right

playing casino

yeah I mean yeah

yeah yeah I mean it's it's technology right it doesn't have an opinion it's us humans who decide what to use it for

so maybe it's more useful Yeah. I mean

I mean Yeah. I mean we

Yeah. Yeah. I mean trading is a little bit like gambling. Most people lose money but the ones who do they make a lot of money.

I mean unless you get an Android

No. The AI is not trading. You are trading. You are the one telling like uh pressing the buttons opening long and short. If you let AI trade, it will just lose money.

Like AI doesn't know, right? It's it's more like to make money on trading either you need to be like arbitrageing price differences or arbitrageing or you need to have like some knowledge about something.

Like so that knowledge AI won't have because if it's already there on the internet like it doesn't matter.

Yeah. So basically this is for people who are manually ret.

Yeah. Like yeah in in a way like this. See there is a mode called auto improve where you can just like so you kind of define the way you want to make money right and then afterwards you can be like you can tell an AI agent to look at this data every few hours and then just like you know just check if like something is wrong just make the adjustments so it can like you you can do that but it's

never

yeah yeah I mean that's So also

yeah yeah yeah I mean it's mostly this is a bot right like the market making one right so you look at trading right 95% of the volume is bots like not AI bots like it's bots right like market making strategy is that this all that thing right so bots are obviously like it's more like how do you make a better bot how do you make a bot that adapts to the market how do you make a bot which is like faster than others and gets information from the internet like when something is happening And then you also tell stuff, right? That's kind of the direction.

No, no. Like we starting with crypto and then we'll do others. But the thing is like crypto is very good for programmability like anybody can code anything right. So we'll first do dexes then we'll do success and then we are looking into like you know stocks and stuff like that. But it's but it's more like the stocks thing is relatively popular now because there is an arbitrage between uh stocks in crypto and uh the traditional stock market now because of hyperlids HIPP3.

So there is like a small edge there. So the main idea is like we'll do whatever the trend is doing and then just make everything in that direction. MQL for example language this one.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Any it's an agent you can do in language. Uh language is not a let's give a round of applause.

Okay. Um okay. Uh so we are right on schedule. Uh so the next is going to be uh of me of me. All right.

Right. Sure. So do you want to like have a seat here and then Yeah. Let's uh let's give a round of applause to

camera. Yeah.

Hi. Hi everyone. U I'm going to present to you AGMI.world and um this is what I've been building over like the last three months. I'm a developer since like 2016 and so um I've been like a digital nomad last like four years and done a lot of hackathons and that's my story to my background and since like last late last year I got really into cloud code and like the agentic um a like coding agents and um this idea that agents are replacing a lot of apps and uh so like the the new breakthroughs in agents have been that we have the agentic loop and context engineering is uh better with skills and skills are uh replacing a lot of apps.

So this early this year I decided to build this which allows you to launch your own open claw agent on a server and it allows you to you reuse existing templates templates for that define the agent's like identity and its purpose and also has a library of skills so that the agent can be rebuilt. with skills that do things. For example, uh there's a lot of like crypto skills on here. So the use cases are for example, we can have developer agents that launch like cloud code instances and can connect directly to your GitHub and autonomously like write code and deploy code. So that's a that's been a major use case.

Other use cases are creating content like autopublishing directly to your social media accounts and creating content. So skills are replacing things like N8 N8 N8N workflows by being more like um customizable, easier to customize and they're not as fragile. So all those things that are done with N10 workflows now can be done with reusable skills. So maybe you heard about like the Larry agent that's able to create all this awesome content and go viral. So reusing existing skills or writing your own skills by simply prompting the AI by describing a workflow, connecting different APIs that allows you to do things like edit videos and create short vid short videos, connect APIs like generate videos, go uh generate a storyboard, generate uh soundtrack, uh voice narration and go from image to video and do that at like very low cost because you can like choose the right models that you want to use.

And that right there is like one workflow that just replaces a lot of manual work that you would do in um AI SAS company like um whatever AI video generation u AI SAS company uh you think of. So um another use use case is of course like uh crypto trading agents are really good at just um figuring things out how to for example like bridge tokens or interact with new protocols and of course use set of skills that automatically tells it how to how to do things. All the major exchanges launched their own like agentic wallets in like Q1 of 2026. So all the agents can interact with the centralized exchanges and dexes and it's really good at doing things like scheduling tasks. So it can uh run like um daily like uh your trading um systems and it's really good at um um what else?

Uh research. So doing things like deep research and writing its own markdown files um and using its own folders and files as its own memory that's growing and concepts like personal AI infrastructure which allows you to create um folders and files that organize all your knowledge and your trading strategies and your research and things like um prediction market tradings where it's like the the edge is like arbitrage of information um in asymmetrical uh information. So that's where the agility of an agent really um gives you an edge and that gives you a lot of freedom to like uh connect new um sources and information to uh have that uh informationational asymmetry that you can put to use in prediction markets. So right now you have the agents which allows you to plug in your API keys to like um codeex your codec subscription or um any open router uh model and um skills templates and um also the blog has a lot of guides on how to connect different APIs to the agent and you can uh find my social media if you want to connect on the footer of this page and um so it's agi.world world and um uh yeah that's uh my presentation.

I've my name's yeah Conrad. I've been at network school since January and also um if you have any questions about network school or um yeah you can talk to me and I can give you uh one week free if you want to uh register and I have a yeah great experience at network school. So u thank you. Any questions?

Let's do so. How are we losing time?

Uh, still fine. It's just by five minutes pass. I think it is good. Yeah.

Cool. Clicker.

Yeah.

All right. Wait. Where's uh Go ahead. This.

Yeah.

All right. Like further away. All right. Dap it. Let's go from concept to mainet in minutes.

Um I will explain more what that is. That's me 10 years younger and much less wiser. I've been in crypto for eight years. It has aged me quite a bit. Uh about 300,000 followers across multiple platforms.

I've done tons of AMAs, had big names on even outside of crypto like Tyson Fury. But this is going to be our distribution layer. It's one of our distribution layers for Napit. Um so in 2017 it took quite a bit of time and effort and money and bandwidth to launch a token. In 2024 2025 DAP it or DAP it gez pump fun completely shifted that paradigm.

So now you can literally open up Pump Fun or Moonshot or any of these launchpads and launch token in one second. The DAP layer though has not gone through that evolution yet. Um, I think one of the reasons we saw so many memes is because no one could really ship a product as fast as they could ship a token. We think that gap's going to close and we think that gap's going to close quite rapidly over the next few years. I think the next iteration of what we saw in 2024 is going to be tokens and DAPs and we want to be one of the go-to platforms.

So you have lovable boat bolt and many others that can ship a great front end but contracts at the moment are not something that you can do with the average bipod or even claude by itself. Um we bring all those together. So there is a number of models there are a number of models that you can use when deploying with DAPIT and it's as easy as one prompt. So in this case, I'm asking it to build me a a payroll applica payroll application for the EVM. One prompt.

It takes a bit of time. Minutes minutes may vary depending on the workload. And so this took about 7 minutes. The difference between this and a lot of other products is we have and we have several patents pending for kind of the the front-end stuff we offer. For example, once V1 is out, you can actually click and swap images.

You can click and edit text right on the front end user face and updates the code. Um, there's a whole sloth of there's a there's a whole breath of different front-end UI integrations that we have. You can chat with an AI called a and you can tell it what you want in real time. So I think a lot of times people ask well what's the difference between you guys lovable and replet there is a big difference between the the tools and the fun yes nephew exactly there's a big difference between the tools and the functions uh of our platform versus those guys and yeah you can you can pretty much deploy anything now if you're trying to build some sophisticated some sophisticated DAP and launch it I would say that it's a bit too early and it's not an US problem. That's just an AI problem.

I think as these models continue to evolve, the the the protocols like ours that harness these models are going to get better and better. We are chain agnostic, right? Very focused on the EVM. And as I mentioned at the beginning of this presentation, I've conducted over 2,000 interviews in the the last several years. I have close relationships with a lot of these ecosystems.

So we are in active discussions. We are actively integrating and working with their teams. Whether it be grants, whether it be tools that help us build easier, so on and so forth. We are rapidly growing as well. We started in August of last year and we're, you know, we're up to about, I think, 350 dabs deployed.

We are competing in pitching competitions. We came first in the Bit Angels pitch competition over at Consensus Hong Kong. We have some stuff in the mix, right? Pump Fund was for That's a typo. Ignore that.

Pump Fun was for token launchers. We're trying to bring something different to the industry. This is still in works, but it's coming and it's probably going to be out by the end of the year at latest. Yeah. Uh and that is Dapid.

I would love for people to try it, attempt to break it, attempt to build something with it. If you if you're not trying to launch a crypto app, it doesn't matter. You can still use Dapid to build a website. And I again think that we have some front-end integrations and tools that you're not going to find on Replet or on Lovable. And you know, doing it on doing it on Claude isn't as easy as people might think.

That's unreal

further away. I can't hear you.

Just further away from your mouth. Right here.

Yeah.

So, one of the most like challenging parts of the in maintain this um making a smart contract obviously. So um like there are like two of them um making the smart contract um very secure and then uh it depends like making it. So is there like music of any project like want to make it fast you have to make it very like making up or anything like that.

Can you repeat the last part please? Um like do you have a different settings for like um how to make the deployment of this like make it very

yeah I think it I think it depends on the DAP and I think that my devs have worked quite a bit of time on making the deployment of smart contracts even possible within the flow. Um I think in terms of security and we are we're it's B2 but we are still working out third party partnerships with a few auditing firms. I I you know and in terms of the speed of launching the smart contract I think that really depends on the sophistication of the DAP that you're trying to launch. If if that answers your question. Round of applause.

So we are now on our last presentation. Okay. So it's NS uh Quantis, right? Yeah. Uh

uh do you have any idea how to

Yeah.

on this one?

Oh yeah.

Hey guys. Oh, that's weird. Uh my name is Brit. I am at NS. I came in January intentionally intended to be there for about a month.

Uh it's now four months later and I am still at NS so I can be a big advocate there. It's a wonderful place to be. Uh I have been in crypto full-time since 2020 2021. Uh specifically focusing on cyber security and when I came to NS I had just wrapped up a project that we've been working on for three and a half years and I was really interested about different opportunities I might find there. And so I want to present to you a little bit of a different experience where I actually got to NS and found a team to work with which was really cool.

Um so Quandis actually moved their head office from Bali to NS. Oh cool. Thank you. Um they moved their office from Bali to NS which is really unique because we can activate at NS in a way that you really can't remotely. You know, typically as somebody that's in like growth or business development, we are activating at conferences.

You're using Twitter, social media, and things like that. But the real benefit to being on site at a place that's that's like NS is there's a constant aggregate of people there. And it's really really fun to be able to test with your market, test with your users, activate and engage right on site. Um, so I'll tell you a little bit about contest and what we're doing. Um, and who here is like kind of familiar with all the discourse on quantum threat right now?

All right, cool. Um, so largely, uh, we're building a postquantum secure blockchain as an Ethereum meetup. This is, uh,

thanks for letting me be here, cause. Um, you know, Ethereum is uniquely well positioned in this in that, you know, there is centralized leadership in Ethereum and we have the benefits of account abstraction and the ability to add on to what we're doing with things like multisig. Um, but most of us are in blockchain because of Bitcoin and Bitcoin doesn't really have that benefit right now. It's truly decentralized and we're really focused on immutability in Bitcoin. Um but the quantum threat continues and reality is we only need 2400 logical cubits to crack the elliptical curve elliptic curve um with algorithm and we're going to get there really soon like five to six years uh pretty much.

So, actually, I'll go to this one real quick. Um, in about two to six years, we'll be able to craft private keys. And because of the nature of Bitcoin and how it is led and where the core devs operate, uh, it's questionable about whether we'll be able to create change that's actually going to protect Bitcoin users. So, I'll go back here. Um, there's been a 92 time surge in quantum computing investments since 2014.

Uh there's been over10 billion dollars in investment in solutions and things like that since last year. It's getting closer to 20 billion throughout this year. This is a very real threat that we have. Uh we've got big labs like Project 11 that are putting out one bitcoin uh rewards for doing things like cracking curves for 15 bit. Um and as a reminder, we only need to get to 256-bit to crack Bitcoin.

Um so what are we doing? Uh we are building quantum secure money. So this is a layer 1 blockchain. Uh which is why I'm very grateful is letting me talk about it. It's distinctly not Ethereum.

But we all got here for a very similar reason. And I think it's really important for us to understand what our options are for our assets that are held outside of Ethereum uh space. So what we did is uh we built a new chain. We've got an awesome super friendly wallet. uh it's very easy to interact with and we are at NS building actual users building actual engagement for our chain.

Uh we have really cool investors like Naval um other cool people at NS that I'm not at liberty to say out loud. Um and we have the benefit of actually working with our users on site. So we launched uh our last test net just a couple weeks ago. Um we are at NS activating regularly and um we're also doing something called Qday on June 6th. So we will have an open day kind of like Veronica was talking about.

It's a time that you can come to NS hear a lot of professionals talk about uh quantum threat quant postquantum solutions. Uh we'll also have a little bit of techno optimist things there. So it's not all like a doomsday conversation but it'll be super interesting. Uh we're planning to have buses out from KL and Singapore as well. So, we'd love to have some of the ETH KL group uh join us there.

Um, and you are welcome to follow us on X uh download our wallet. If you guys want to go ahead and download the wallet, I have Quantis figures for you guys. Uh, we're doing really cool activations at NS. We're really immersing like what we're doing with the culture of our community, helping people get ramped up with blockchain, helping people get set up mining. Uh, you can mine on our test net.

Um, and yeah, feel free to ask me questions, feel free to come to NS. We'd love to have you and uh thanks for listening to me. Yeah.

Any questions?

Why are you asking me questions?

When when mayet when mayet?

Uh very very soon. It'll it'll line up closely with Qday. That's all I have liberty to say.

Q day. Q days on June 6 at NS and it's a full day of programming um on quantum postquantum blockchain and things like that.

Any other questions? All right, enjoy your night guys. Thanks for listening.

Uh so uh thank you. So yeah, thanks everyone for like uh for attending this session. I think right now there are maybe like two three things. Uh one is pizza is here is uh right at the back. So we're going to you guys can network and have pizzas later.

Second, we're going to take a group photo. Uh where's the photograph?

Before pizza. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Before pizza. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. Okay. So before that, I think you're probably going to stand there or something. Yeah, that the photographer decide. Uh, just a quick shout out to uh CCA CC for for uh for sponsoring this event.

Uh, if you want to follow them on socials, you can type CCAC on uh on Twitter or there's actually like a there's a signboard on the front. You see the gentleman at the back there. Yeah. So, quick shout to CCC. So, right now for the photo session, should we like stand here?

Yeah. So everyone that just

Yeah. Okay.
