1
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,800
Welcome to epicenter episode 
392, today we have on with us 

2
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,600
goofy, true poles, who is the 
co-founder of alchemax. 

3
00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:24,000
But before we talk to this 
creepy about alchemax, we'd like

4
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,600
to tell you a bit about our 
sponsors this week, Exodus, 

5
00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:30,800
Exodus is a easy to use wallet. 
Which supports hundreds of 

6
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,100
assets and has native apps for 
all platforms, including IOS, 

7
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:36,500
and Android. 
And as a fully non-custodial 

8
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:39,800
wallet, their firm Believers in 
the not your keys not are coins.

9
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,800
Mantra go to Exodus.com to give 
it a try. 

10
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:45,900
Next up, we have para swap / 
swap. 

11
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:47,300
Just came out with a huge 
upgrade. 

12
00:00:47,300 --> 00:00:49,200
That's even faster and more 
liquid. 

13
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:52,000
It's cheaper than you know, shop
and comes with a new gas token 

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,900
that can cut your gas fees by up
to 50%. 

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,600
Make your trade and go to Paris 
swap dot IO / epicenter. 

16
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:02,500
And finally, we have Solana 
Solana is a next-generation. 

17
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:05,800
Blockchain with lightning-fast 
blocks and fees less than a cent

18
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,300
per transaction. 
Scalability is perhaps the 

19
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:10,600
single biggest challenge 
preventing crypto from becoming 

20
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,700
the backbone to the world 
financial system. 

21
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:15,600
And today, Solana May well be 
the best solution. 

22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,900
We have go to salon, a.com slash
epicenter to learn more. 

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,300
All right, so Scooby it's super 
awesome to have you on you. 

24
00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:28,200
And I have like, you know, I 
feel like we've like, chatted on

25
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,200
like Twitter threads and stuff. 
For a long time. 

26
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,800
I think I do this like thing 
where annually, I figure out I 

27
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,100
run a script at the end of the 
year to see whose Twitter 

28
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:41,800
accounts I've liked the most 
like the who's tweets. 

29
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,700
I've liked the most and I think 
in 2020 you were like number 

30
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:47,900
like seven or eight on my list 
and which is really cool because

31
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:50,100
like this is the first time 
wherever talking in person. 

32
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:52,000
I think probably everyone else 
on the list. 

33
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,100
It's like people actually knew 
in person or something but it's 

34
00:01:54,107 --> 00:01:56,000
like you were. 
So this is really cool to 

35
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,500
finally get a chance to talk to 
you. 

36
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,600
So yeah. 
Can you tell us a little bit 

37
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,600
about Yourself and like, you 
know, I mean, okay. 

38
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,700
One thing that people can 
probably obviously tell us Koopa

39
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:06,400
troopas is probably not your 
real name. 

40
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,100
So, tell us a little bit about 
how you got into crypto and why 

41
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:13,000
you use the name Scoopy, 
triples. 

42
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,300
Yeah, I mean, it's fun that we 
interact on Twitter, you know, I

43
00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:20,600
always loved that. 
You have like, these random 

44
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,000
geography fact threads that this
continual thread. 

45
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:27,100
It's always a highlight of my 
day to find to learn something 

46
00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:30,800
new from you, but how did Why 
get into crypto? 

47
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,800
Yeah, so it was, I mean my 
journey like all the way started

48
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,000
back in the I think it was in 
2011. 

49
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,500
And when I heard about the, the 
Silk Road for the first time, 

50
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:47,700
there was like a giant expose. 
It was like I'm Gawker and all 

51
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:52,400
sorts of Internet websites. 
And, you know, I got interested 

52
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,200
in it and I downloaded Tor 
Browser. 

53
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,000
And I wanted the Pirate Bay and 
I found a website where I could 

54
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,200
buy Now there's like right about
that buy button and then I was 

55
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,400
just like hmm I don't think I'm 
gonna do this, this is weird 

56
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,100
this internet money stuff you 
know it sounds dumb and then I 

57
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:15,900
backed out and then so I sort of
knew about Bitcoin this entire 

58
00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:20,900
time didn't pay it a ton of 
attention to it and then like in

59
00:03:20,900 --> 00:03:24,300
2013 like a family member so I 
can do you got to get this 

60
00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:26,300
Bitcoin thing? 
It just wanted to like a 

61
00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:28,400
thousand dollars. 
I'm like, wait, what? 

62
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,800
Last time I checked it was like 
a doll. 

63
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:33,300
Dollar and so I thought, you 
know, I just missed it, I 

64
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:36,200
thought it was a bubble and then
I felt really Vindicated when it

65
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,600
crashed, you know, it was in his
bare Market in like, you know, 

66
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:45,300
2015 and 2016. 
And my wife was like, Hey 

67
00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:48,300
Scooby, we need to do some 
investing and, you know, start 

68
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:51,600
looking into that stuff. 
And this time I look, I don't 

69
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,300
know about this Bitcoin stuff. 
I know I was like following that

70
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:55,600
a while ago. 
How's that doing? 

71
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,800
And I, you know, I went down the
rabbit hole and I More about it,

72
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,000
you know, on a deeper level and 
I was like, you know what, let's

73
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,100
do this. 
Like you know Screw stocks, 

74
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:09,600
let's go into Bitcoin and so 
late 2016. 

75
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,500
I got into Bitcoin and 2017. 
I did what everyone else did and

76
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:18,899
they you know spend a lot of 
money on ico's and coins that 

77
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:21,600
have fancy infographics. 
That make it look like they have

78
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,400
an ecosystem but they really 
don't have an ecosystem at all. 

79
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,500
And then eventually I just kind 
of gravitated more and more 

80
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:31,400
towards a theory. 
Especially towards the end of 

81
00:04:31,407 --> 00:04:35,500
2017 and early 2018, when the 
app started becoming more and 

82
00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:39,500
more popular ethereum. 
The crypto kitties was my first 

83
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:44,200
deep and then I played around 
with stupid Ponzi money games 

84
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:46,900
because that was the only thing 
out there in 2018. 

85
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:50,100
There was no like D5. 
But at that time, like, you 

86
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:52,900
know, even though these were 
like kind of stupid money games,

87
00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:56,600
it kind of got my, you know, my 
brain going like, whoa, you can 

88
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,800
do a lot of stuff with 
programmable money, and at that.

89
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,100
I'm I wasn't a developer, but I 
was like, you know what, let's 

90
00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:07,000
go in, let's do this. 
And so I started learning how to

91
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,700
code, I became a web developer 
at that time, sorry, getting 

92
00:05:11,700 --> 00:05:18,600
some jobs for Web 2.0, stuff, 
using react, and then it was a 

93
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,700
summer of twenty. 
Twenty one of my friends that I 

94
00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:25,400
met in crypto discords, he's 
like, hey, I need a front end 

95
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,300
developer for this app I'm 
making and at the time it was 

96
00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:33,300
called She's fi this is back in 
June before, Sushi. 

97
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:35,900
Before yam before? 
Any of the food token? 

98
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:41,300
Craze hit, we had cheese fi and 
it was actually very similar to 

99
00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:43,500
what ended up becoming alchemic 
school. 

100
00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:49,600
But it had some some pretty key 
differences that we decided that

101
00:05:49,700 --> 00:05:53,100
we realized that would make it 
like non-viable as a platform. 

102
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,000
Essentially, what we would do 
for cheese fi, would you be? 

103
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,700
You would like lock up die for 
between? 

104
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:04,200
In 100 days and then you get 
this cheese token in exchange 

105
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,000
for doing that. 
And then the yield from your die

106
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,000
would then go to buying off the 
cheese token from the market 

107
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:15,800
from you to swap and then we 
were like we thought it was 

108
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,900
really cool model but then we 
would learn more about like Mev 

109
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,600
minor tractable value and 
sandwich attacks and we realized

110
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,300
that a lot of value could be 
extracted from that system. 

111
00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:27,600
So we had to go back to the 
drawing board and create 

112
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,700
something different. 
And Then through that process, 

113
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:33,600
we came across. 
You know, what is now alchemax 

114
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:40,100
How did you kind of decide to go
with the name like Scoopy? 

115
00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:43,300
Triples, I think we actually 
were discussing this right 

116
00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:45,600
before the show. 
I think would be really 

117
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,600
interesting to discuss with with
viewers. 

118
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,400
Like, what, what got you excited
about that name? 

119
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:56,600
Specifically? 
All right, so in Rick and Morty,

120
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,700
there's an episode where they go
to Pluto and because like a 

121
00:07:00,700 --> 00:07:02,700
Jerry's adamant that it's a 
planet. 

122
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,400
Even though everyone says, it's 
not planet and like the ruler of

123
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,300
that Pluto's name was asked, 
rupee nipples. 

124
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:11,600
And then later on, I like that 
name so much. 

125
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,400
I was playing Dungeons and 
Dragons and I made this like 

126
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,600
silly character based off of 
screwby nipples and that 

127
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,200
character's name was called 
Skippy triples and then when it 

128
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,400
came time to make my Twitter 
account My normal handle that I 

129
00:07:25,407 --> 00:07:29,000
use other places was gone and I 
was like, huh, what can I use? 

130
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,300
And it's like, oh Scooby 
triples. 

131
00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:32,300
That's that's a funny. 
Let's go with that one. 

132
00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:36,200
That can be my new handle and 
the Scoobies triples was born 

133
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,100
and only blew up on Twitter 
recently, really like in defy 

134
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:41,700
summer. 
I was like, some nobody with 

135
00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:45,800
like a hundred followers for, 
like, the longest time, So, what

136
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,700
made you decide to go, like, 
build this whole project 

137
00:07:48,700 --> 00:07:51,100
anonymously? 
Like, you know, for like five 

138
00:07:51,100 --> 00:07:53,300
years of epicenter, 
surprisingly, we didn't have 

139
00:07:53,300 --> 00:07:55,900
like any Anon people. 
And then I think suddenly in the

140
00:07:55,907 --> 00:07:58,600
last, like, six months, we just 
have this, like, you know, I may

141
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,400
be, I think we might be like, 
our third and On guest at this 

142
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,700
point and it's like, and 
obviously there's others like 

143
00:08:03,700 --> 00:08:08,300
larger Trend in like, you know, 
Anon like building anonymously. 

144
00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:11,500
I mean, it's arguably, it's not 
a new trend, are you believed 

145
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:13,900
was the first Trend in crypto as
well from Satoshi. 

146
00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:16,400
But what? 
Did you decide to do that and 

147
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,100
what's been your like experience
doing that? 

148
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,700
The only thing, like the ethos 
of crypto should be an honor, 

149
00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:25,800
pseudo Anonymous. 
I mean, if you go back to the 

150
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,000
founder of it, all, yes, Toshi 
Nakamoto was. 

151
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,500
But I mean the reason for that 
is that, you know, when you are 

152
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:35,700
holding crypto assets, you know,
you're holding them like in your

153
00:08:35,700 --> 00:08:39,500
house, you know, you got your 
seat, phrase, maybe, you know, 

154
00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:43,299
backed up on a piece of paper 
or, you know, maybe a metal card

155
00:08:43,299 --> 00:08:47,600
if you're really precautious and
you know, somebody could easily 

156
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,900
just like break into your house 
and then rip off. 

157
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,100
All of your, you know, all of 
your money, all your assets, you

158
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:55,800
know, just by stealing some 
words on a piece of paper from 

159
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:01,100
you and with that in mind like 
I'm Anonymous for my own safety 

160
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,900
like I don't want to expose me 
or my family or anybody you 

161
00:09:06,900 --> 00:09:10,700
know, who's close to me, you 
know to my dealings and crypto, 

162
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,500
you know if word got out that 
you know, my who I am in real 

163
00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:18,200
life is Skippy triples, then you
know, it might make people that 

164
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,300
I love and care about targets. 
Also, including myself. 

165
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,800
And there's also the thing that 
like, I haven't told like 

166
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,600
anybody in my really, like, 
close family and friends about 

167
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:29,900
Scooby, triples, are all 
chemicals. 

168
00:09:29,900 --> 00:09:33,900
Because I like to kind of 
separate that life from, you 

169
00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:36,700
know, or that that from, you 
know, my normal life because I 

170
00:09:36,708 --> 00:09:38,700
don't want people to treat me 
any different than they have 

171
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:40,100
treated me. 
My entire life, just because 

172
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:43,600
they think I've money. 
And so, you know, for safety and

173
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,800
my own personal reasons I choose
to be anonymous. 

174
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,000
I mean, I'm surprised that 
there's not more Animus Founders

175
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,700
out there because I think like, 
you know, putting your name out 

176
00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:56,200
there and your face out there is
kind of dangerous. 

177
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,800
One thing I wanted to kind of 
dive into was the mechanism 

178
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,700
design itself of alchemax. 
How would you describe to 

179
00:10:08,700 --> 00:10:10,700
someone hearing for the first 
time? 

180
00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:13,500
What L can mix is at a high 
level? 

181
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:19,600
And what the main kind of use 
case, it provides for Defy, is 

182
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,600
Okay. 
So at a basic level, the way. 

183
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,700
All Comics works is that you 
deposit dye into the system, and

184
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:32,600
then you can use that died as 
collateral to Mint are owned 

185
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,000
synthetic. 
Stable coin, Al USD and you can 

186
00:10:37,300 --> 00:10:41,400
borrow up to 50% of the amount 
of collateral that you have. 

187
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,400
So if you put in a hundred, you 
can borrow 50. 

188
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:47,500
And then what happens is that 
the dye that you deposit gets 

189
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:50,800
deposited into urine that 
Finance. 

190
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:56,600
Into their diet Vault and that 
earns around around 15% interest

191
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,600
a year. 
And what happens is that the 

192
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,500
principal from your deposit is 
earning yield and that gradually

193
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:06,500
pays off your Al USD debt over 
time. 

194
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,100
And then that harvested yield 
also goes to a module that we 

195
00:11:10,100 --> 00:11:14,100
call the the transmitter which 
acts as a backstop to the peg. 

196
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:20,500
So if for some reason, a Leo's D
is treating at under the peg on 

197
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:21,600
our curve. 
Market. 

198
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,800
Then you can go to the 
transmitter module and guarantee

199
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:30,500
a one-to-one conversion for from
Ali, SD to die, other things for

200
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:33,900
the transmitter that fill it up 
or when people repay their loans

201
00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:37,600
in die. 
So a lot of people have been 

202
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,700
with alchemic so you're not 
locked in at any time for any 

203
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:43,800
amount of time. 
So you can always repay your 

204
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,900
debt and then exit your 
collateral from the system. 

205
00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:50,300
So whenever anybody pays and 
die, whether that's through 

206
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:52,200
Direct. 
All payments, or if they 

207
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,200
liquidate their die collateral 
to pay their debt, that dye gets

208
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,400
sent to the transmitter. 
And the cool thing about the 

209
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,800
transmitter is that it takes all
of its die and puts it into 

210
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,400
urine. 
And then that yield from the 

211
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:09,600
transmitter is then passed along
to the depositors in our vault. 

212
00:12:09,700 --> 00:12:13,400
So it boosts their apy because 
we have an effectively higher 

213
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,900
principle than then, just the 
deposits themselves because of 

214
00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:22,700
the transmitter, so that's how 
we can get like 25% interest 

215
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:27,700
whereas urine is getting like 
15% Let's go to our sponsor, 

216
00:12:27,700 --> 00:12:31,000
Exodus Exodus is a fantastic 
crypto currency wallet, that 

217
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,500
strikes the right balance 
between ease-of-use security and

218
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:37,500
great features. 
You can get Exodus on the iPhone

219
00:12:37,700 --> 00:12:40,900
desktop app. 
Web app, Android, whatever 

220
00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:44,300
platform you use. 
It's a non-custodial wallet that

221
00:12:44,300 --> 00:12:46,500
is so critical. 
Because what's the point of 

222
00:12:46,500 --> 00:12:50,500
crypto, if you don't control 
your own assets with Exodus, you

223
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:54,700
always do the old school and 
they've been around since 2015, 

224
00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:59,600
01, Million users rely on Exodus
to, you know that they've stood 

225
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,900
the test of time, they have 
support for over 100 different 

226
00:13:03,900 --> 00:13:06,700
crypto acids and remove in 
Exodus. 

227
00:13:06,700 --> 00:13:10,200
You can easily change one 
different asset to the otter. 

228
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,900
They also allow you to buy group
do with Fiat and they even have 

229
00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:17,100
a great offer where you can buy 
up to $500 worth of crypto 

230
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,500
through the IOS app and Pages $1
in feet. 

231
00:13:20,700 --> 00:13:24,600
So go to Exodus.com epicenter 
and check out their wallet. 

232
00:13:24,700 --> 00:13:28,000
We want to thank Exodus. 
As for their amazing support of 

233
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,700
epicenter. 
So the dye that gets earned from

234
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:35,900
urine, you know, so does a 
portion of it, go to start 

235
00:13:35,900 --> 00:13:39,400
paying off debt and a portion 
goes to the transmuter or is it 

236
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,100
somehow the what percent is 
going where? 

237
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:47,400
This is a little tricky since we
have our own synthetic, stable 

238
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:52,800
coin, Al USD, when we harvest 
the yield from yearn, we reduce 

239
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,100
amount of everyone's debt like 
globally in the system when that

240
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:58,200
happens. 
But we don't actually have to 

241
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,200
pay the dye to like the users at
this point that the guy that 

242
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,300
died just ends up going straight
to the transmitter. 

243
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:08,400
So all of it goes the 
transmitter and it decrements. 

244
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,900
Everyone's debt at the same 
time, there is a 10% fee. 

245
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:18,300
Alchemic charges on yield 
harvests and that's kind of our 

246
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:19,200
rate. 
That's our take. 

247
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,000
That's our project fees that we 
take, and we have to do that. 

248
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,200
The bare minimum. 
We have to do that, just to pay 

249
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,700
for the fees for harvesting, 
because it's not cheap to run an

250
00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:34,000
app on ethereum. 
Gas is very expensive and some 

251
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,600
of the processes that we do is 
we don't have users call these 

252
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,600
functions. 
Instead of, we kind of batch it 

253
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,500
all together and the people 
running the protocol. you know, 

254
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:48,900
that that team we, you know, pay
that cost for the our users How 

255
00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:54,500
do people learn from the 
transmuter is everyone who's has

256
00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:57,000
a USD, like learning from it or 
do people have to actually 

257
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:02,400
deposit into the transmitter. 
So the transmitter is not really

258
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,800
a vehicle for for yield or 
earnings. 

259
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,200
It's just a like a guarantee 
that you can redeem your, a 

260
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,900
Leo's D4 die and we only really 
see usage of that. 

261
00:15:13,900 --> 00:15:17,700
When the curve pool, that we 
have gets a little bit. 

262
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,600
Bounced. 
And there's more, ALCS token are

263
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,100
all USD tokens. 
Then the, the the curve tokens 

264
00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:27,600
are the kind of curved metal 
pool tokens the three pull. 

265
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
So whenever there's like an 
inbounds there, we might see 

266
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,000
people use the transmitter which
kind of access like the backstop

267
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,300
of the peg, but that's like any 
event. 

268
00:15:38,300 --> 00:15:41,600
Let like, aliens, deed falls off
the peg like really badly. 

269
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,300
Then people could like by 
Augustin off the market, then 

270
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:47,200
put it in the transmuter and 
that could be like a source of 

271
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,400
yield if you Treat all used as a
bond but other than that, no, 

272
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,800
it's just a Redemption model, 
you know, method of way to 

273
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,300
backstop the peg. 
So it's not really meant for 

274
00:15:57,300 --> 00:16:02,200
healed, but the transmitter 
itself does deposit, it's over 

275
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,900
200 million died in to yearned 
and then, you know, passes on 

276
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,900
that yield to our users, would 
you say it's safe to 

277
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:15,500
characterize the main use case, 
people are using alchemic for is

278
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:17,700
getting extra yield. 
You mentioned 25. 

279
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,900
Five percent relative to fifteen
percent or have there been like 

280
00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:22,900
other really interesting use 
cases. 

281
00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:25,800
That have surprised you that 
came off the protocol. 

282
00:16:28,300 --> 00:16:31,100
Yeah, so I mean, a lot of people
what they're, you know, they're 

283
00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:33,400
just depositing in there and 
just learning yield on it. 

284
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:38,200
But for the most part, people 
are taking on a Leo's D Loans 

285
00:16:38,700 --> 00:16:42,100
and some people are using it for
personal finance where they're 

286
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:45,200
selling the value of D for like,
you know, TC then and then 

287
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:50,400
exiting it off of coinbase. 
I know, I've confirmed that 

288
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,500
we've had some people do this, 
somebody bought a boat for their

289
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:58,200
dad, using an alchemical own, 
you know, guy bought a Porsche I

290
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,900
know somebody who's paid for 
their grad, school tuition, 

291
00:17:00,900 --> 00:17:05,700
using an outcome X alone. 
Also, some of you pay their 

292
00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:10,099
hospital bill for their newborn 
son by financing it through an 

293
00:17:10,099 --> 00:17:13,400
alchemical loan and other than 
personal finance. 

294
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,099
A lot of people what they're 
doing is they're either selling 

295
00:17:16,099 --> 00:17:21,099
the audio CD and investing in 
speculating in the market, or 

296
00:17:21,099 --> 00:17:23,599
they're taking their value of D,
and then supplying like 

297
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:26,900
liquidity on curve, and then 
earning a lcx that way. 

298
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,500
So, Some people are, you know, 
using it for finance. 

299
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:33,400
Other people are speculating and
other people are just trying to 

300
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,200
maximize their you'll farming 
even more. 

301
00:17:36,900 --> 00:17:40,900
So on that personal finance, use
case was one thing I'm a little 

302
00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:46,600
bit confused about is what's the
use case of borrowing a stable 

303
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,100
coin against over collateralized
stable coin. 

304
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,500
So like you know, people often 
will use like maker compound 

305
00:17:54,700 --> 00:17:59,900
because to borrow USD, but, but 
they put down collateral in, you

306
00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:02,500
know, either PTC or something 
because they're trying to 

307
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:06,500
maintain, you know, exposure to 
the collateral. 

308
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:10,400
A And also that you know is 
often I tax benefits as well to 

309
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,000
doing this. 
But why would I put down two 

310
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,900
hundred dollars of a stable coin
just to borrow $100 of a stable 

311
00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:20,300
coin? 
Instead of just selling or 

312
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:22,600
spending my original stable 
coin? 

313
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,700
So all times like when you have 
your own savings and stuff like 

314
00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:29,700
that and then like an expense in
life comes up, you have to make 

315
00:18:29,700 --> 00:18:32,500
a choice between consumption and
saving. 

316
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,400
Whereas without pemex, you can 
do both. 

317
00:18:36,500 --> 00:18:40,100
You can both save and spend say 
then consume. 

318
00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:44,300
So let's say you have a thousand
dollars saved up, that's your 

319
00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:48,000
rainy day fund, and then you get
into a car accident and it turns

320
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,100
out the bill for this car 
accident is going to be five 

321
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:53,100
hundred dollars to fix it. 
If you were to pay that out of 

322
00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:54,700
pocket. 
He left with five hundred 

323
00:18:54,700 --> 00:18:58,600
dollars of savings and let's 
say, you go ahead and you put 

324
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,000
that $500 in D5 and you're 
making, you know, fifteen twenty

325
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,800
percent a year on that. 
That's great, right? 

326
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,200
But without chemicals, what you 
could do is you could put your 

327
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,400
thousand dollars in it. 
Take out that five hundred 

328
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:14,600
dollar loan and then you could 
be earning interest on the 

329
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,700
thousand dollars that you put 
in. 

330
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,600
So you'd have a larger principle
that's earning yield paying off 

331
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,700
your loan. 
So by the time that the loan has

332
00:19:23,700 --> 00:19:27,700
paid off, you will have a 
thousand dollars where if you 

333
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:31,300
paid out of pocket for that car 
accident and then you invested 

334
00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:34,800
that $500 in defy and then it, 
you know, compounded over two 

335
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:40,100
years, you'd be looking at maybe
like $700 750 but without coming

336
00:19:40,100 --> 00:19:44,800
to the ending up with a thousand
dollars Example I said was like,

337
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,500
you know, sometimes you want to 
maintain expose, the reason you 

338
00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:50,000
would borrow against your ethos,
you want to maintain exposure to

339
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,400
eat and you thing Keith is going
to go up here. 

340
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,000
Kind of actually is somewhat 
similar but you're basically 

341
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,200
saying Hey I want to maintain 
exposure to it's not really a 

342
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:06,200
stable coin it's a yield earning
stable coin because in defy at 

343
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,900
this moment even stable coins 
can like give you quite a high 

344
00:20:09,900 --> 00:20:12,500
return. 
Alka mix helps you maintain 

345
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:15,900
exposure. 
This like high-yield earning 

346
00:20:15,900 --> 00:20:20,300
stable coin, and you're 
borrowing this low yield earning

347
00:20:20,300 --> 00:20:23,200
stable coin, which is the AL 
USD. 

348
00:20:23,300 --> 00:20:25,300
Is that is that essentially 
What's Happening Here? 

349
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,400
Yeah, I like to think about 
Comics as like a savings 

350
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:34,200
technology and a lot of ways 
where you're encouraged to both 

351
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:39,800
save and spend Yours by Saving, 
it's giving you access to, you 

352
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,600
know, you're, you know, a 
greater and greater line of 

353
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,400
credit. 
So it's encouraging you to save 

354
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,100
and it's also kind of putting a 
limit because you can there's 

355
00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:50,000
like a 200% collateralization 
ratio. 

356
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,300
Let's say you save up a million 
bucks and then you go into Al 

357
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:54,800
pemex you can take out five 
hundred thousand dollars. 

358
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:58,500
So it's not like you're gonna be
able to spend And all of your 

359
00:20:58,500 --> 00:21:02,800
money this is important because 
let's say, you know, the yields 

360
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,000
on upcoming to dry up or you 
need your collateral back for 

361
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,700
something in real life and you 
want to get out, you can pay off

362
00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:11,700
your loan. 
Let's say, like, if you, you 

363
00:21:11,700 --> 00:21:14,500
still have your ally go State, 
I'll use dear, you convert it to

364
00:21:14,500 --> 00:21:17,100
die, you can pay off your loan 
from your wallet, or you can 

365
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:19,400
liquidate your collateral. 
So you can get out. 

366
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,700
It gives you a little bit more 
optionality in your spending. 

367
00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:25,300
So if you wanted to, you could 
just have that debt repaid 

368
00:21:25,300 --> 00:21:28,000
itself or you could. 
Repay it yourself manually. 

369
00:21:28,500 --> 00:21:31,200
If you repay yourself manually, 
yeah, you get a little extra 

370
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,500
gains from, you know, the extra 
principle but it would be pretty

371
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:37,700
similar to paying out of pocket.
But the whole idea is that gives

372
00:21:37,700 --> 00:21:42,500
you that option ality, you can 
essentially get a line of credit

373
00:21:42,900 --> 00:21:45,800
that pays itself off and that, 
that lets you just like kind of 

374
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,600
take risks and do things and 
spend money, like, kind of in a 

375
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,400
guilt-free way because I know 
like I'm a saver naturally and I

376
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,300
always like hate to take money 
out of my savings or out of 

377
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,500
Investments to, you know, to buy
something, or to fund my real 

378
00:21:59,500 --> 00:22:03,600
life. 
And without coming tonight, I 

379
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,200
feel like I'm not forced to make
that decision anymore. 

380
00:22:06,300 --> 00:22:08,700
I can just be like, hey, I'm 
just going to take out a loan 

381
00:22:08,700 --> 00:22:10,500
that's going to pay itself off 
it. 

382
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,600
In fact, what I do for my own 
personal finances, I have a 

383
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,900
decent amount of dye and help 
Amex, and I just draw some 

384
00:22:16,900 --> 00:22:20,700
monthly and then that pays, like
all my house and family bills 

385
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,500
and at the end of the month, 
I've almost no debt. 

386
00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:26,100
And then I just take another 
loan out and then just repeat 

387
00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:26,900
the process. 
Process. 

388
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,200
So when you're looking for a 
flight, you go through a flight 

389
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,700
aggregator to see all the 
different places where you can 

390
00:22:35,700 --> 00:22:38,600
buy the fly to get all the 
options and make sure you get 

391
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,800
the best price for your travel 
plans. 

392
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:46,100
And when you're making a defy 
swap, just do the same and use 

393
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:48,800
para swap. 
It beats the market prices 

394
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,800
across all the major indexes 
because it Aggregates them and 

395
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,700
thanks to their network of 
professional market makers. 

396
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,300
You get zero slippage on your 
trades so they choose Pushed a 

397
00:22:59,300 --> 00:23:01,900
huge update that's even faster. 
More liquid. 

398
00:23:01,900 --> 00:23:05,100
Thanks to a brand new. 
Algorithm / swap is now multi 

399
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:08,300
chain and has expanded polygon 
and Beynon smart chain. 

400
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,700
So go and check it out. 
Give para swap at try at 

401
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:18,300
Periscope dot IO, / epicenter, 
where do you see Al USD within 

402
00:23:18,300 --> 00:23:19,900
defy? 
It seems like you see it as a 

403
00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:24,300
tool for borrowing and a 
guilt-free way in the kind of 

404
00:23:24,300 --> 00:23:28,000
way that you mentioned. 
But do you see it like as a 

405
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,500
major stable? 
Alcoa in for defy like how do 

406
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:34,200
you see it being composed upon 
and what do you see its role in 

407
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,600
the like whole stable coin 
ecosystem that already exists in

408
00:23:36,608 --> 00:23:39,100
defy? 
Yeah. 

409
00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:41,800
Yeah, we're working actively on.
Trying to get more Integrations 

410
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,500
for a Leo's D. 
First up from that one is 

411
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:48,000
getting reliable price Feats for
Alia. 

412
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,800
See right now, we're only on the
curve and factory pools and they

413
00:23:51,808 --> 00:23:55,800
don't have like any 
sophisticated swaps or oracle's 

414
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,200
associated with that. 
So we're trying to work with 

415
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:03,500
chain link to get a price feed 
for our ecosystem tokens. 

416
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:06,000
And once that happens, we're 
going to be able to get Al USD 

417
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,500
on places. 
Like like Ave like a rare, he's 

418
00:24:10,500 --> 00:24:15,900
fuse and other lending markets, 
like cream as well, but I think 

419
00:24:15,900 --> 00:24:19,700
more interestingly than just 
having it being like, a 

420
00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:23,900
collateral or Capital asset, is 
that you could, we could work 

421
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:27,900
with like margin protocols or 
options, protocols, and then you

422
00:24:27,900 --> 00:24:31,000
could use a Leo SD to fund those
positions. 

423
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,700
And then if you if you're 
borrowing that and alone that 

424
00:24:33,700 --> 00:24:36,500
repays itself, then you can go 
short. 

425
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:40,000
You can go long. 
And be is DJing as you want to 

426
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,400
and know that you know, even if 
you lose even if you get wiped 

427
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,000
out you know you still have your
collateral that you use to get 

428
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,200
your audio steel own and that 
debt will vanish over time so I 

429
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,000
think that's kind of cool. 
It's like a an idea of safe 

430
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:58,900
aping Could you clarify that got
stuff, so you think people can 

431
00:24:58,900 --> 00:25:01,500
put down die and then borrow 
alchemic 6-cell. 

432
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,600
That I'm Al can mix in exchange 
for what Burr Al USD. 

433
00:25:06,700 --> 00:25:12,600
I'll come mixes the RSI value SD
so people can put down dye into 

434
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:19,300
alchemic, Sbarro Al USD against 
it and they can sell that out 

435
00:25:19,300 --> 00:25:23,600
USD. 
And by with it, Options are some

436
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,100
other kind of derivative 
instrument, that's as you said, 

437
00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:31,100
like, kind of a guilt-free 
experience is that kind of what 

438
00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:36,200
you're envisioning. 
Well, what we're trying to work 

439
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,500
for is getting Al USD. 
So integrated in the defy that 

440
00:25:40,500 --> 00:25:43,400
you wouldn't have to sell it for
another stable coin is that you 

441
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,000
could go straight into that 
options contract or into that 

442
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,100
margin position using out USD. 
That's, that's the goal right 

443
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:53,100
there is to get to that point 
where it can start to be used 

444
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:56,400
across D5 in different, use 
cases and stuff because right 

445
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,500
now I can go to like margins 
often go to dydx, I can go to, 

446
00:25:59,500 --> 00:26:04,500
you know, various platforms and 
and lever, you know my my Coins,

447
00:26:04,900 --> 00:26:07,400
so I can do other things and D 
fight with them, right? 

448
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,500
And I'll use the does not have 
that just yet, you know, because

449
00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:13,600
it's still early in the days for
it. 

450
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,100
But once we get those 
Integrations and it'll, you 

451
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:20,300
know, start to drive more, the 
demand side for the currency 

452
00:26:20,300 --> 00:26:22,900
itself, because it will have a 
lot more uses instead of just 

453
00:26:22,900 --> 00:26:26,700
flipping for die or u.s. 
DC or tether some other staple 

454
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:28,800
coin. 
And I think that's an important 

455
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:33,200
part of having long-term Peg. 
Stability, is to, you know, take

456
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,600
care of that. 
Inside. 

457
00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:39,600
Essentially if that happens I'll
USD is going to be competing 

458
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,400
than with things like die and 
u.s. 

459
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,800
DC and stuff for like usage than
D Phi. 

460
00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:51,600
And isn't it actually going to 
drive down the the yields you 

461
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,100
can earn on like die? 
Because like you know right now 

462
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:59,900
let's say, you know, right now 
let's say on with with on 

463
00:26:59,900 --> 00:27:02,700
yearned, let's say put 
depositing in curve is one of 

464
00:27:02,700 --> 00:27:05,800
the highest sources of you. 
Old, right? 

465
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,800
And that's his like, you know, 
one of the most incentivize 

466
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:13,000
pools on curve is that like 
three pool with die, USD T and U

467
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,700
s-- DC. 
But now, let's imagine a world 

468
00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:18,700
where I'll USD becomes. 
Like, you know, the fourth big 

469
00:27:18,700 --> 00:27:21,600
stable coin and defy, right? 
What does that actually, then 

470
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,800
drive down yields on die. 
Now because it's only getting a 

471
00:27:25,808 --> 00:27:30,200
quarter of the curve rewards 
rather than a third of them. 

472
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,400
And especially the question is, 
as Al USD becomes more popular 

473
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,400
does not. 
Drive down the yields from other

474
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,600
stable coins. 
I think this is a really tough 

475
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:45,000
one to predict because like kind
of what determines the the yield

476
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,500
of a stable coin. 
There's there's a ton of factors

477
00:27:47,500 --> 00:27:53,500
involved you know a lot of that 
because you learn uses seven 

478
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:58,900
different strategies and their 
dive Vault for you know for 

479
00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:04,800
version 2 of their vaults. 
And one of the strategies is to 

480
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,200
LP into to that curve bowl that 
you just mentioned. 

481
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,600
They also have a number of other
strategies so I'm not really 

482
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:18,500
sure that we would you know if L
USD became you know, a huge 

483
00:28:18,500 --> 00:28:23,800
market cap that we would dilute 
that I mean that's sort of 

484
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,800
saying like you know there's a 
stable coin out there you sdn 

485
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,300
and that has like an insane 
amount of curve gauge weight is 

486
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:34,300
is you sdn taking yield away 
from die, you know. 

487
00:28:34,300 --> 00:28:40,400
Like I feel like the answer is 
yes and no because They might be

488
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,300
taking some of the curve rewards
away from that three, pool curve

489
00:28:44,300 --> 00:28:47,200
and dilute and lowering the 
yields for die, but the same 

490
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,300
time, then people also balance 
their positions based on the 

491
00:28:50,300 --> 00:28:53,100
yield. 
So the market react to that. 

492
00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:57,100
So the appropriate amount of 
capital will be allocated to 

493
00:28:57,100 --> 00:29:01,100
places to get that yield. 
So if the desired yield is 10% 

494
00:29:01,100 --> 00:29:02,900
and then you see it's 5% 
somewhere, you're not going to 

495
00:29:02,908 --> 00:29:06,100
put your stable coins in there. 
You're going to try to find 

496
00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:08,800
somewhere else. 
So I think it'll balance itself 

497
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,300
out and I don't think Al USD 
would have a major impact on 

498
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:15,600
diet yields. 
I haven't given this a ton of 

499
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,400
thought, to be honest, I mean, I
might want to come back and 

500
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,400
issue like, you know, a deeper 
thought on this on Twitter for 

501
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,500
you sometime soon, Sonny. 
But my gut feeling is I don't 

502
00:29:24,500 --> 00:29:27,400
think we would have any 
significant impact on dies 

503
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,300
yields. 
That said though on version 2 of

504
00:29:30,300 --> 00:29:33,800
alchemic so which is slated to 
come out in two to three months,

505
00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:37,100
we will be adding multiple 
collateral type so you'll be 

506
00:29:37,108 --> 00:29:39,400
able to put in and I use the see
it was the 80s. 

507
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,000
Cosd you name it any viable 
stale stable coin, that has some

508
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,000
good on chain healed. 
They'll all be collateral assets

509
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,800
for Al USD. 
So will be will be siphoning 

510
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,800
yield from all of the stable 
coins in the future someday. 

511
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,500
Let's get to our sponsor Solana.
Now, this is a special, and for 

512
00:30:00,500 --> 00:30:03,400
me to read because I've been in 
deep supporter of this project. 

513
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,300
Since meaning the Solana, team 
back in 2018, I invest 

514
00:30:07,300 --> 00:30:09,900
personally in the project and my
company course, one is super 

515
00:30:09,900 --> 00:30:13,200
deeply involved in the Solana 
ecosystem, including running the

516
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,200
biggest validator. 
So, what's so cool about Solana?

517
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,400
Well, we all know that 
scalability is the single most 

518
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,300
important issue facing the 
blockchain industry today. 

519
00:30:22,700 --> 00:30:24,800
And to Solana, blockchain is an 
amazing solution. 

520
00:30:24,900 --> 00:30:27,400
Lucien for it, the network 
supports thousands of 

521
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:32,100
transactions per second with 400
millisecond block times and over

522
00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:35,100
500 validators. 
The special thing about Solana 

523
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:38,700
is also that it's not a sharded 
blockchain, it's a signal 

524
00:30:38,700 --> 00:30:41,500
blockchain, hyper optimized for 
performance. 

525
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:46,000
So that makes it really easy to 
maintain composability between 

526
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,500
all of the apps on Solana. 
So that they work together 

527
00:30:48,500 --> 00:30:52,500
seamlessly now and forever. 
There's a lot of ecosystem is 

528
00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:55,700
growing at a rapid pace and it's
a great place to Audio project 

529
00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:57,500
or just get involved with the 
community. 

530
00:30:57,500 --> 00:31:00,600
So go to salon.com epicenter to 
learn more. 

531
00:31:02,300 --> 00:31:07,000
What does happen in our comics 
when they when they the yields 

532
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,300
go down. 
So right now, let's just say as 

533
00:31:09,300 --> 00:31:15,600
an example, the yield on die is 
25% a year and you know, it'll 

534
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,900
take about two years for, you 
know, if let's say you bought 

535
00:31:18,900 --> 00:31:22,800
you put down $100 of die, you 
borrow $50 a value is D. 

536
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,200
It'll take about approximately 
two years to pay off that entire

537
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,800
loan. 
But now let's say the suddenly, 

538
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:35,100
you know, all your Like you 
know, the yields drop to from 25

539
00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:39,500
percent to 5 percent and now 
this loan suddenly takes 10 

540
00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:42,900
years to pay off. 
How does that chain? 

541
00:31:43,500 --> 00:31:46,500
Where does that affect like you 
do get reflected in the alchemic

542
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:48,400
system? 
Like I'm out, I imagine that has

543
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,800
to propagate somewhere. 
The alchemic system is, does it 

544
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,200
affect the AL USD price? 
Does it affect? 

545
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,900
Yeah, where does that affect get
seen? 

546
00:31:57,300 --> 00:31:59,600
Does it change the 
collateralization ratio needed? 

547
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,600
Hmm, at the most basic level, 
it'll mean that your debt 

548
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,700
repayment times will take 
longer, you know, the system 

549
00:32:07,700 --> 00:32:11,700
should still work fine but 
because the debt repayments are 

550
00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:14,200
taking longer, the amount of 
yield flowing into the 

551
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,200
transmitter will be lower. 
So in the event that we do 

552
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,700
destabilize, you know and we 
break our Peg and stuff like 

553
00:32:21,700 --> 00:32:26,100
that and then let's say people 
use the transmuter and they use 

554
00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:28,900
everything that's in the 
transmitter and it goes down to 

555
00:32:28,900 --> 00:32:32,700
zero. 
At that point, then, you know, a

556
00:32:32,700 --> 00:32:37,100
Leo's D then would become like a
bond of sorts and it would still

557
00:32:37,100 --> 00:32:39,700
have value and it still trade at
the market in the market. 

558
00:32:39,700 --> 00:32:42,800
But you might take a discount 
when you sell it or you could 

559
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,600
then purchase it from the market
and then, you know, put in the 

560
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,400
transmitter and it would 
gradually turn into to die over 

561
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,400
time. 
So that that's what we worst 

562
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,800
case scenario. 
We see happening in the event, 

563
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,000
that yields collapse, but if 
yields claps for urine, they're 

564
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,300
probably going to collapse 
everywhere. 

565
00:33:01,100 --> 00:33:04,200
Because they are incredibly 
flexible and they have a you 

566
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,300
know very competent team of top 
notch developers and strategist 

567
00:33:08,300 --> 00:33:10,900
who are heavily incentivize to 
find the best yields because 

568
00:33:10,900 --> 00:33:14,500
they earn profit off of them. 
I'm still confident that urine 

569
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:18,700
will have very competitive, you 
know, yields in relation to 

570
00:33:18,700 --> 00:33:23,100
other projects in defy. 
But that said, yeah, definitely 

571
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:27,600
lower yields would could 
negatively impact the peg. 

572
00:33:27,900 --> 00:33:32,100
We're not sure exactly how much.
Happen to their depends. 

573
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,700
It really depends on if the pig 
itself breaks, if it doesn't and

574
00:33:35,700 --> 00:33:39,900
our liquidity incentives and the
demand to supply liquidity to 

575
00:33:39,900 --> 00:33:42,100
our curve pools and other 
markets that will have in the 

576
00:33:42,100 --> 00:33:45,200
future, if that's good enough in
the Pagan hold, then it'll just 

577
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:50,800
mean that debt repayment times 
will take longer, but, you know,

578
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,200
if the peg does break, then we 
would be in a little bit of a 

579
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,900
precarious situation. 
So that is a risk just being 

580
00:33:57,900 --> 00:34:01,800
straight up with you guys. 
Why is the peg holding today? 

581
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,400
Why is from my understanding? 
It feels to me that it should 

582
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,100
be. 
I'll USD should actually 

583
00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:09,800
probably be treated as a bond 
even right now. 

584
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:15,300
So and so, probably be trading 
at a slight discount, like, 

585
00:34:15,300 --> 00:34:16,900
there's a Time Value to the 
money, right? 

586
00:34:16,900 --> 00:34:21,699
And so like yes, you can convert
it at 121 on the transmuter. 

587
00:34:21,699 --> 00:34:25,100
But, you know, at some future 
time and why is that not 

588
00:34:25,100 --> 00:34:28,100
reflected in the price of Al USD
today? 

589
00:34:29,300 --> 00:34:36,100
So right now, Alias D, there's a
supply of around 330, 340 

590
00:34:36,100 --> 00:34:39,300
million value of D out there and
currently there's around 220 

591
00:34:39,300 --> 00:34:44,000
million die in the transmuter. 
So roughly two-thirds of the 

592
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,900
aliens T out. 
There is backed completely 121 

593
00:34:46,900 --> 00:34:50,000
that you can redeem it but the 
other part is that these are 

594
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,199
over collateralized loans to 
like at the end of the day. 

595
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:56,400
So just like maker Dow has over 
collateralized loans just like 

596
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,400
liquidy has over collateralized 
loans. 

597
00:34:58,500 --> 00:35:00,400
And, you know, we kind of the 
same thing. 

598
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,500
So it's not only like, you know,
the the dying, the transmuter, 

599
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:06,300
this backing, it was also the, 
the die, that's collateral 

600
00:35:06,300 --> 00:35:09,200
that's backing it as well. 
And the fact that people can, 

601
00:35:09,500 --> 00:35:11,000
you know, repay their debt at 
any time. 

602
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,500
So, like, if you borrowed out 
USD and then you're, you know, 

603
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,800
you're trying to earn on it and 
then you see that, you know, 

604
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,700
it's price goes down. 
You would just feel like I am 

605
00:35:17,700 --> 00:35:20,100
going to take my Holly St and 
pay down my loan because these 

606
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:21,800
these tokens aren't is worth 
this much. 

607
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,900
And that, right there itself is 
is a pagan mechanism because 

608
00:35:24,900 --> 00:35:28,900
when you pay off without your 
stay at destroys it, And then 

609
00:35:28,900 --> 00:35:31,400
that takes it off the market. 
And, you know, will help it 

610
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,800
bring it back towards more 
towards equilibrium. 

611
00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:36,900
So I hope that answers your 
question. 

612
00:35:38,300 --> 00:35:41,600
The other part of why it's 
holding the, the dollar Peg. 

613
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,300
So strong is. 
Yeah, we are incentivizing 

614
00:35:44,300 --> 00:35:48,800
liquidity on curve. 
We, if you stake, the the value 

615
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,000
of T3 curve, LP tokens on our 
website. 

616
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:58,200
You can earn close to 40% apy on
in the form of a lcx tokens. 

617
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,000
Our audit from certificate, just
came back and that's going to 

618
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,800
allow us to get on curve that 
Phi and we'll be able to have 

619
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,700
access to the curve gauges as 
well, so that will add another 

620
00:36:09,700 --> 00:36:14,400
source of yield for our stickers
and depositors. 

621
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,500
I think it's it's like the magic
of the transmuter. 

622
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,700
Coupled with the fact that, you 
know, we have these liquid 

623
00:36:21,700 --> 00:36:24,500
markets that are incentivized 
that is keeping this Peg up. 

624
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,700
So that makes sense that you 
could earn Alchemists tokens by 

625
00:36:30,700 --> 00:36:34,400
like depositing into the curve 
pool. 

626
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,400
But in your curve heavily 
incentivizes things to be priced

627
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:43,300
one to one but at the end of the
day even on curve, things can 

628
00:36:43,300 --> 00:36:48,400
still be you know the price of a
Al USD could still be less than 

629
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,300
one dollar relative to the other
tokens in the pool and as long 

630
00:36:52,300 --> 00:36:54,700
as all your checking is that. 
Hey, is there liquidity in the 

631
00:36:54,700 --> 00:36:56,800
pool? 
So why why is no-one arbitraging

632
00:36:57,500 --> 00:37:02,300
and like kind of even moving the
curve pool to be at whatever, 

633
00:37:02,300 --> 00:37:07,200
like a properly price Bond 
should be I don't think there's 

634
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,700
really any incentive to do that.
There is no ARB there, you know,

635
00:37:11,700 --> 00:37:15,700
for right now and if you try to 
manipulate it in, bring the 

636
00:37:15,700 --> 00:37:18,600
price of value of D down that 
would just completely get our 

637
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,900
big way because people would 
say, Hey, you know, I can, you 

638
00:37:21,908 --> 00:37:25,300
know, buy you know, a Leo's 
deeper 98 cents and then 

639
00:37:25,300 --> 00:37:29,700
transmute it, you know, and get,
you know, a dollar for it, you 

640
00:37:29,700 --> 00:37:32,400
know, for 98 cents and they can 
get some instant yield that way.

641
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:37,000
And we've actually seen that 
this week with the He's crashing

642
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:42,500
in price since a lcx is tied to 
Ethan our Sushi swap market. 

643
00:37:42,500 --> 00:37:46,200
We've also gone down with ether 
as well and because of that our 

644
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,800
yields have gone down. 
So we've seen people exit the 

645
00:37:50,100 --> 00:37:53,200
liquidity pools we've seen maybe
like, think we had like six 

646
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,300
hundred million liquidity there 
last week and now we have around

647
00:37:55,300 --> 00:38:02,000
550 million and at the same 
token since a lot of people were

648
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,700
pulling out their died or their 
three, cool curve tokens from 

649
00:38:04,700 --> 00:38:07,100
that pool. 
There was a bit of an imbalance 

650
00:38:07,100 --> 00:38:12,900
in I'll USD went down to like 
99.5 sense. 

651
00:38:12,900 --> 00:38:16,200
Whereas, before it was roughly 
like, you know, I think it was 

652
00:38:16,207 --> 00:38:19,000
trading at a slight premium to 
die at the time before that. 

653
00:38:19,500 --> 00:38:23,600
And then, because there was that
little, our people or then 

654
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,900
starting to use the transmuter 
and we lost, you know, 

655
00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:31,100
transmitter had some funds taken
from it during this, this period

656
00:38:31,100 --> 00:38:35,000
as well. 
So but the peg held, it's still 

657
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,900
very strong. 
And things seem to be in an 

658
00:38:37,900 --> 00:38:40,500
equilibrium right now and we're 
not seeing those outflows 

659
00:38:40,500 --> 00:38:43,200
anymore. 
So I think that's just the 

660
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:48,600
system working as intended. 
How long does it take for 

661
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,800
transmutation, at least, like, 
in that case that you talked 

662
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:58,200
about with die Peg breaking to 
like you know, 95 cents or 

663
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,500
sorry, the AL USD Peg, breaking 
it, 95 cents relative to die. 

664
00:39:01,900 --> 00:39:05,600
How long does it take to 
transmute like Al USD in to die?

665
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:12,800
At minimum, it's going to take 
50 blocks because we put the 

666
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:18,200
distribution of the, the die, 
for a lie, OSD depositors in the

667
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,300
transmitter to take a little bit
longer. 

668
00:39:20,700 --> 00:39:23,000
So that way people wouldn't be 
able to like grief it if they 

669
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,500
like called Harvest and then 
they could, you know, then 

670
00:39:26,500 --> 00:39:30,100
immediately get that died. 
And, you know, so in order to 

671
00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:34,800
stop that, yeah, we have that 
split spread over 50 blocks, but

672
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,800
usually, that happens. 
Means whenever somebody those 

673
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,500
that will start flowing to your 
account when we their Harvest 

674
00:39:40,500 --> 00:39:42,500
field or somebody repay their 
debt and die. 

675
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,900
Now, there is another function 
that you can use to transmit 

676
00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:48,900
faster, it's called forced 
transmute. 

677
00:39:48,900 --> 00:39:53,100
It's kind of a bit of an 
advanced function and it's 

678
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:55,600
really only for ethers can Pro 
users. 

679
00:39:56,300 --> 00:39:59,900
Basically, you'd have to query 
in a 30mm address that state 

680
00:39:59,900 --> 00:40:03,200
into the transmitter. 
It's possible that you can have 

681
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,400
too much dye allocated to a 
position. 

682
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:11,300
I put in 100, 000 USD. 
There's a little box in there 

683
00:40:11,300 --> 00:40:14,000
that says amount of 
transmittable die. 

684
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:18,100
I have if I put in 100 Augustine
and I've hundred transmittable 

685
00:40:18,100 --> 00:40:20,600
die. 
It'll just, you know, burned 100

686
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,700
Al USD and give me 100 die when 
I hit the transmit button. 

687
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,400
But it's possible with our 
current design for the 

688
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,200
transmitter. 
For you to have 100 ounc, 

689
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,200
deposited. 
And then have more than 100 000 

690
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,200
USD that 100 more than 100 
Immutable die. 

691
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:40,500
I could have a million 
transmittable die. 

692
00:40:40,500 --> 00:40:45,000
In fact, like, en 100 position 
and what you can do is, you can 

693
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,100
force transmitted somebody who's
over-allocated. 

694
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,400
And when that happens, all of 
their excess, allocated dye goes

695
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,600
straight to your allocated die. 
So, it's sort of like an 

696
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,900
incentivised Cron job. 
There's a handful of people we 

697
00:40:59,900 --> 00:41:03,100
know in the ecosystem that kind 
of take care of this and they've

698
00:41:03,100 --> 00:41:06,300
been, you know, we don't know 
who they are, but they Figured 

699
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:11,000
out this this Force transmitted 
system and they have been 

700
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,700
carving the peg here and there 
which is actually a kind of a 

701
00:41:14,700 --> 00:41:17,600
service for everybody in the 
ecosystem because you know 

702
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,100
they're helping you know bring 
stability to the price of value 

703
00:41:20,100 --> 00:41:22,600
of D. 
We did try to implement that 

704
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:28,000
into the UI but we're having 
some issues with our graph and 

705
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,900
it wasn't reliable. 
So we just like cut it from the 

706
00:41:29,908 --> 00:41:32,200
UI but occasionally what we'll 
do. 

707
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:36,000
If we notice like people like my
ties and transmitting well, All 

708
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,100
four strands meet a couple 
positions, and then transmit 

709
00:41:38,100 --> 00:41:40,600
ourselves. 
And then that will disperse the,

710
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,500
the yield even lie to everyone 
else in the system kind of 

711
00:41:43,500 --> 00:41:48,200
immediately at that time. 
Sure what one question I didn't 

712
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,100
fully understand what is the 
situation? 

713
00:41:50,100 --> 00:41:52,500
How do you get yourself into a 
situation? 

714
00:41:52,900 --> 00:41:59,600
Where the your died allocate it 
is greater than your value of D.

715
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,000
How do you get into a situation?
Where you can be Force 

716
00:42:02,700 --> 00:42:06,400
transmitted. 
So this was like, Kind of like a

717
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,900
computer science problem is that
imagine like you know the dye 

718
00:42:10,900 --> 00:42:13,100
that's flowing into the 
transmitter is like rain falling

719
00:42:13,100 --> 00:42:16,900
from the sky and you're staking 
position your deposit for a 

720
00:42:16,900 --> 00:42:20,000
Leo's D is like a bucket and of 
course, when the buckets full 

721
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,900
you would expect it to you know,
not overflow or anything like 

722
00:42:22,900 --> 00:42:24,500
that. 
It would just be full, right? 

723
00:42:24,700 --> 00:42:31,200
But because ethereum is the way 
that it is and you can't like 

724
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,700
have like, you know, kind of 
code like self-executing, you 

725
00:42:33,700 --> 00:42:35,800
always have to like you know pay
the gas and push that button. 

726
00:42:35,900 --> 00:42:40,100
In to do it, we couldn't find a 
problem or a solution at the 

727
00:42:40,100 --> 00:42:46,900
time for that term, a term 
mentality for ending the, you 

728
00:42:46,900 --> 00:42:50,800
know, the distribution for 
people who are like overfilled 

729
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,000
and so we were kind of 
scratching our heads. 

730
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,400
We were playing around with an 
Epoch model and other things 

731
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,800
like that. 
And then one of our deaths have 

732
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,500
made like a an app from like 
back in 2018. 

733
00:43:02,300 --> 00:43:04,700
And it's like, hey, what if we 
repurpose this code? 

734
00:43:05,500 --> 00:43:08,200
For the transmuter it's like if 
we do that then it's going to 

735
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,600
overfill. 
And like what if I we turn you 

736
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,700
know, an overfull position? 
Let somebody else be able to 

737
00:43:13,700 --> 00:43:16,800
transmute that and we could just
send the divs over or the 

738
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,200
allocation over to them and that
would be like an incentivize 

739
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,800
Cron job. 
And so we're trying to use 

740
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:26,000
crypto token on or economics to 
solve a computer science 

741
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,300
problem. 
Essentially, the good news is 

742
00:43:28,300 --> 00:43:31,500
that in our version 2. 
We have figured out this problem

743
00:43:32,300 --> 00:43:35,000
and we're not going to have to 
do this this awkward for 

744
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,900
Transmute kind of like Pnina 
work around to get the system 

745
00:43:38,900 --> 00:43:41,900
working in a little just it'll 
just work and it'll be simple 

746
00:43:41,900 --> 00:43:45,500
and will be nice. 
That's pretty clever solution. 

747
00:43:45,500 --> 00:43:47,900
I like that. 
Now we can now I understand with

748
00:43:47,900 --> 00:43:50,200
the whole that's that's pretty 
cool. 

749
00:43:50,900 --> 00:43:54,100
And you before the system we had
it was it was untenable where 

750
00:43:54,100 --> 00:43:57,300
you'd have to stake your ally 
USD weekly and then claim 

751
00:43:57,300 --> 00:44:02,500
whatever got transmuted weekly 
then Reese take it and you know 

752
00:44:02,500 --> 00:44:06,800
when we are kind of testing that
before we launched like I just 

753
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,500
hated it I'm like no nobody's 
going to do this nobody's going 

754
00:44:09,500 --> 00:44:13,000
to spend you know you know five 
hundred dollars in gas form. 

755
00:44:13,100 --> 00:44:16,000
Or, you know, an undetermined 
pay out every week. 

756
00:44:16,100 --> 00:44:19,400
That's why we switched it. 
It's not perfect, but it works 

757
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,000
at the time and we have a much 
better solution going forward. 

758
00:44:23,700 --> 00:44:26,700
So, I don't know if you might 
not this, not not be what you 

759
00:44:26,700 --> 00:44:31,300
want to hear, what, what this 
somewhat almost reminded me of 

760
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,800
was. 
So I'm very familiar with Fay in

761
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:39,600
this like slightly reminded me 
of Fae in some ways, we're 

762
00:44:39,700 --> 00:44:43,300
especially in the case, where 
Faye is over collateralized, 

763
00:44:43,300 --> 00:44:46,200
where, you know, which it is 
currently, right? 

764
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,400
I currently in Faye, the price 
that the clock with collateral 

765
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,600
that it has is much higher than 
the Outstanding, like, stable 

766
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,700
coin liabilities that has. 
And their premise is that, you 

767
00:44:57,700 --> 00:45:01,900
know, we can keep this Peg going
as long as possible. 

768
00:45:01,900 --> 00:45:09,200
Because anyone who wants out can
get out any time and we're able 

769
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,000
to do this and we can keep this 
going for as long as possible 

770
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,100
because the eith price is going 
to, as long as the eith price is

771
00:45:15,100 --> 00:45:17,700
going to keep going up. 
We're going to continuously keep

772
00:45:17,700 --> 00:45:21,000
having a way for the people who 
want out get out when they want 

773
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,800
to get out it. 
This is actually very similar in

774
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,500
a lot of ways, but instead of 
depending on the eith price 

775
00:45:26,500 --> 00:45:32,000
going up here, it's depending on
the yearn yields, right? 

776
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:36,700
As long as the urine yields are 
like earning money, we'll have 

777
00:45:36,700 --> 00:45:39,800
enough money to protocol. 
Will have enough reserves to let

778
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,600
the people who want to go out. 
Be able to go out and what's 

779
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:47,200
nice as opposed to in Faye. 
It's like this claw do is lower 

780
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:52,000
bounded at the hopefully the 
interest rates on the on urine 

781
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,300
do Don't go - right. 
Like I mean, you know, in 

782
00:45:54,308 --> 00:45:56,500
traditional Trad fire, we do 
actually have negative interest 

783
00:45:56,500 --> 00:45:58,800
rates but you know, at least on 
hopefully when you're in the 

784
00:45:58,808 --> 00:46:02,000
prices should never go - and it 
certainly increases lower 

785
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,900
bounded zero while in the PHA 
case, you know the price. 

786
00:46:05,500 --> 00:46:07,700
There's a situation where the 
protocol can become under 

787
00:46:07,700 --> 00:46:11,700
collateralized as well. 
I didn't really think about that

788
00:46:11,700 --> 00:46:14,900
comparison. 
But yeah, yeah, I guess where 

789
00:46:14,900 --> 00:46:17,800
they're backed by eith, you 
know, collateral and buying 

790
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:22,100
power to buy back, everything 
were powered by, you know, die 

791
00:46:22,100 --> 00:46:24,000
yield being able to buy back 
everything. 

792
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,600
The cool thing about alchemic 
Siz that, like, you know, you 

793
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,000
know, you could use it by 
yourself, you could be the only 

794
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,200
participant in. 
It wouldn't make much sense, if 

795
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,400
that were the case, but you 
could because, you know, your 

796
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:39,500
die collateral is locked until 
either. 

797
00:46:39,500 --> 00:46:44,700
You read Your debt or the or, 
you know, the yield is a paid 

798
00:46:44,700 --> 00:46:47,900
off itself or in the yield pays 
off the debt itself. 

799
00:46:47,900 --> 00:46:51,300
So, like, you know, even if 
like, you know, takes 10 years 

800
00:46:51,300 --> 00:46:54,200
for, you know, your loan to 
mature and nobody's using the 

801
00:46:54,207 --> 00:46:56,700
system, and you're just holding 
this Al USD out there. 

802
00:46:56,700 --> 00:46:57,700
You don't know what to do with 
it. 

803
00:46:57,700 --> 00:46:59,700
Eventually, you will be able to 
redeem that for die. 

804
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,000
So there is always that 
guarantee that we're going to 

805
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,300
build a make you whole. 
And now pemex it just might take

806
00:47:05,300 --> 00:47:08,600
a long time in the worst case 
scenario and that's actually 

807
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:09,800
something we really really care 
about. 

808
00:47:09,900 --> 00:47:14,700
About you know a lot of us came 
from detent money games and we 

809
00:47:14,700 --> 00:47:16,900
didn't like the fact that so 
many people were getting wrecked

810
00:47:17,100 --> 00:47:19,500
or the fact that if somebody had
to if somebody one that meant 

811
00:47:19,500 --> 00:47:22,300
somebody else had to lose in 
those games. 

812
00:47:22,300 --> 00:47:25,200
And so without chemicals we 
thought how can we make it so 

813
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,400
that we can make everybody whole
again no matter what no matter 

814
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:33,600
what happens and other than a 
urine hack, you know, of the, 

815
00:47:33,700 --> 00:47:36,700
The Vault that we're using, I 
don't see a scenario where 

816
00:47:36,700 --> 00:47:39,300
anybody could actually lose 
money using our system. 

817
00:47:40,900 --> 00:47:45,400
What's the long-term Vision that
you have for alchemic 6, where 

818
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,000
do you see yourself in 5 years? 
10 years. 

819
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,400
As part of this, like, defy 
story are there like new 

820
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,300
products in that I can imagine 
like ethos collateral. 

821
00:47:55,900 --> 00:47:57,800
Yeah. 
What's the the long-term vision 

822
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,900
for you? 
We're targeting this month, we 

823
00:48:00,900 --> 00:48:04,400
might slip in the next month, 
we're going to be launching a 

824
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,700
leathe. 
It'll work very similar to Al 

825
00:48:06,700 --> 00:48:10,900
USD where you deposit teeth and 
you can take out an ally Sloan. 

826
00:48:11,500 --> 00:48:12,800
It might have some different 
parameters. 

827
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,300
Like you might have a different 
conversation ratio because ET 

828
00:48:15,300 --> 00:48:18,200
old is lower than die yield. 
So we don't want, you know, 

829
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,900
somebody to be in there and then
have a loan, you know, be 15 

830
00:48:20,900 --> 00:48:23,900
years to take off pay off. 
So we might increase the 

831
00:48:23,900 --> 00:48:26,900
collateralization ratio for that
one and we're playing around 

832
00:48:26,900 --> 00:48:28,100
with some other parameters as 
well. 

833
00:48:28,100 --> 00:48:32,100
But that should be Out. 
Relatively soon as Shand, the, a

834
00:48:32,100 --> 00:48:35,500
leaf is, I think, is a really 
cool one, because you can, you 

835
00:48:35,500 --> 00:48:39,100
know, lever up on your wreath or
you can even, you know, use it 

836
00:48:39,100 --> 00:48:43,300
as a cashing out method or a way
to shore teeth or to hedge it. 

837
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,600
So, I think it's gonna open up a
lot of really interesting use 

838
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:50,400
cases. 
Then after we get a lethal or 

839
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,000
heads down focused on getting 
our version to out, which will 

840
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,500
open up a multi collateral, 
Al-Qaeda mix essentially. 

841
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,500
So they'll be You know, for a 
Leo's D, multiple stable coins 

842
00:49:01,500 --> 00:49:03,400
that can be used as to 
Collateral. 

843
00:49:03,900 --> 00:49:07,200
And the cool thing is like you 
can like make a composite 

844
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,300
position of a lot of different 
stable coins. 

845
00:49:09,300 --> 00:49:14,400
And now Comics, imagine each 
stable coin as an ingredient and

846
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,900
you can customize or you can 
make your own recipe using the 

847
00:49:17,900 --> 00:49:20,000
different ingredients and 
different balances that you want

848
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,000
to. 
So if you want like a position 

849
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:26,800
that's 30% die, 50% USD, see 20%
tether, you could do that if you

850
00:49:26,808 --> 00:49:30,000
want to. 
And then as That you can see 

851
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,000
like, which stable coins are 
offering the best yields and 

852
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,500
stuff like that. 
You can Constructor your 

853
00:49:35,500 --> 00:49:38,300
position that way. 
So that that's one cool thing 

854
00:49:38,300 --> 00:49:42,500
about version 2 and the same 
property will also be there for 

855
00:49:42,900 --> 00:49:44,400
a late. 
And we're also going to be 

856
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,500
launching out Bitcoin as well 
and that'll take like various 

857
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:52,600
flavors of Bitcoin on ethereum. 
And then from there is right 

858
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:57,600
now, an alchemist V1 we launched
on audited and we were unsure of

859
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,100
any security Issues with 
economic exploits. 

860
00:50:01,100 --> 00:50:05,400
So we lock down smart contracts 
from interacting with Malcolm X.

861
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,400
So, we would prevent like flash 
loans and things like that. 

862
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,800
Some unknown stuff. 
Good news is that we got our 

863
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,500
audit back and everything came 
back really good. 

864
00:50:15,500 --> 00:50:20,100
No critical issues were found. 
So, you know, funds are safe, 

865
00:50:21,900 --> 00:50:25,800
but going forward and not to mix
V2, is we're going to remove 

866
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,500
that restriction, and it's going
to be a lot more composable. 

867
00:50:28,700 --> 00:50:30,700
And then, To be building 
modules. 

868
00:50:30,700 --> 00:50:33,800
On top of it, I can't get into 
detail about too much about 

869
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,800
those. 
I did say that I did leak on the

870
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,600
bank list podcast earlier that 
one of the modules is going to 

871
00:50:40,607 --> 00:50:44,100
be for delegated credit. 
So like when you deposit die 

872
00:50:44,100 --> 00:50:47,400
then you have like a creditor 
value is D that you can take 

873
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,100
out. 
You know this new module are 

874
00:50:50,100 --> 00:50:52,300
going to be working on is going 
to allow you to then. 

875
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,300
Let somebody else borrow that Al
USD from you. 

876
00:50:56,100 --> 00:50:59,100
I don't want to go into too many
details about the system, but 

877
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:00,900
but I think that's going to be 
something that's really 

878
00:51:00,900 --> 00:51:04,900
powerful. 
We're also working on a handful 

879
00:51:04,900 --> 00:51:08,900
of are a few other modules in 
the one that I am leading in 

880
00:51:08,900 --> 00:51:14,200
designing is a alchemic style 
and that's going to bring a cash

881
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:19,000
flow model to the ALCS tokens a 
for participants of the dowel. 

882
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,600
It's we're going to be 
experimenting with conviction 

883
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:28,600
voting borrowing some of the 
security module from Ave so like

884
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:33,700
Something happens to the 
protocol and we suffer a loss A 

885
00:51:33,700 --> 00:51:37,200
lcx takers in the Dow could get 
slashed and their token sold at 

886
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,400
auction to make the protocol 
whole again. 

887
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,000
So they'll be, you know, 
security and insurance model 

888
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:47,500
baked into it down and it's 
going to be executing code, you 

889
00:51:47,500 --> 00:51:49,600
know? 
So the doubt self right now we 

890
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:54,200
have a multisig community and 
developer multisig with the time

891
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:58,300
lock and governance be a 
snapshot but the the doubt self 

892
00:51:58,300 --> 00:52:00,400
will you know? 
Execute the code. 

893
00:52:00,700 --> 00:52:03,500
Unlike the semi trusted setup we
have right now. 

894
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,300
And so, we're going to be 
borrowing heavily from the 

895
00:52:07,300 --> 00:52:09,500
governor Alpha contract from 
compound. 

896
00:52:09,500 --> 00:52:11,700
So we're going to be mixing all 
those things together to make 

897
00:52:11,700 --> 00:52:15,300
something new. 
And also the goal is to to 

898
00:52:15,300 --> 00:52:19,300
gamify it and turn it into 
something kind of cool and 

899
00:52:19,300 --> 00:52:21,100
unique that hasn't been done 
before. 

900
00:52:21,100 --> 00:52:24,500
So please look forward to that 
when it comes out after V2, 

901
00:52:24,500 --> 00:52:29,000
later this year, in to 2022, 
we're going to be expanding the 

902
00:52:29,300 --> 00:52:32,400
Cases of alchemic, by adding 
more modules, trying to secure 

903
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:36,700
more Integrations and defy. 
The Holy Grail is to get an 

904
00:52:36,700 --> 00:52:38,900
outcome. 
It's credit card where you 

905
00:52:38,900 --> 00:52:41,200
could, you know, it'll take your
stable coin deposits. 

906
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,000
And then all, you'll just have 
access to this, you know, line 

907
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:48,700
of credit that you can use for 
spending that actually might be 

908
00:52:48,700 --> 00:52:51,200
in the cards. 
I don't want to say too much 

909
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,300
now, but yeah. 
We know some people that went 

910
00:52:54,300 --> 00:52:58,600
might be able to get this to get
it going and a lot of the 

911
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:03,000
members of the The team are also
really into in a peas and gaming

912
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,400
and stuff like that. 
And that's something that I 

913
00:53:04,408 --> 00:53:07,300
think our team as they all come 
expressed. 

914
00:53:07,700 --> 00:53:10,400
You know, platform matures is an
area that we might start 

915
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:14,800
branching off into one area that
we're really excited about is 

916
00:53:15,100 --> 00:53:17,800
flipping the model paying for 
games on its head a little bit 

917
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:22,700
and doing a form of steak to pay
to play where you can leverage 

918
00:53:22,700 --> 00:53:25,500
the actual outcome exist. 
Mm to finance, paint for games 

919
00:53:25,500 --> 00:53:29,000
without actually having to, you 
know, purchase a game or, you 

920
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,200
know, Having to unleash a pay 
for all these like you know, 

921
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,300
microtransactions and stuff like
that. 

922
00:53:34,300 --> 00:53:37,500
Instead, you would just say hey 
I deposit a couple hundred die 

923
00:53:37,500 --> 00:53:40,400
and then I get to play this game
as long as I have my deposit in 

924
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:43,900
there instead. 
So that's a something that we're

925
00:53:43,900 --> 00:53:47,800
pretty excited about. 
But that's down the line as far 

926
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:51,200
as stuff like that goes. 
And then you know, long, long 

927
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:54,300
term goals is, you know, for 
values D. 

928
00:53:54,800 --> 00:54:01,000
We hope that we can become one 
of The top decentralized stable 

929
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:05,000
coin out there, it's sort of 
like a metastable point to in 

930
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:06,400
the future. 
It will be when we have multi 

931
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,900
collateral Alias D so it'll be 
like a composite of all the the 

932
00:54:09,900 --> 00:54:12,600
stable coins. 
Right now we have around three 

933
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:16,200
hundred and three hundred thirty
million, I'll use the out there.

934
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,200
I think it'd be really cool if 
we can get over a billion. 

935
00:54:18,900 --> 00:54:22,400
So that's, you know, one of our 
goals is to get over a billion 

936
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:26,200
dollars of value of D out there,
if not more, that could be cool 

937
00:54:26,300 --> 00:54:29,500
if we could take maker Dallas. 
The top decentralized able Now 

938
00:54:29,500 --> 00:54:31,000
they're really cool. 
I don't know if I can get that 

939
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,100
far, but you know, that would be
cool. 

940
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,100
And what do you see? 
As some of the biggest risks 

941
00:54:37,100 --> 00:54:41,400
facing you guys, especially 
from, you know what can 

942
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:46,700
competition do right, as well. 
Like what happens if maker says,

943
00:54:46,700 --> 00:54:50,200
hey, we're going to start taking
why assets so like, you know, 

944
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,600
like a derivative of, what about
your deposit and like accept 

945
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:58,000
that as collateral. 
How does that change the 

946
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:03,300
Dynamics of the alchemic system?
Yeah, we're already starting to 

947
00:55:03,300 --> 00:55:06,100
see that a little bit. 
I know cream was playing around 

948
00:55:06,100 --> 00:55:09,100
with the idea of allowing, why 
assets as collateral I think 

949
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,800
unit protocol is also playing 
around with that as well, but 

950
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,900
they still would be different 
from alchemic because when you 

951
00:55:16,900 --> 00:55:19,300
borrow their, their stable 
coins, that you're still getting

952
00:55:19,300 --> 00:55:21,900
charged interest. 
If I borrow usdp, I'm going to 

953
00:55:21,908 --> 00:55:24,800
be getting charged 12%. 
If I borrowed, I think it's 

954
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,500
something like five or six 
percent right now. 

955
00:55:26,500 --> 00:55:29,600
I'm not entirely sure. 
Whereas, with us you you're not 

956
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:31,500
gonna have to pay interest on 
the LAUSD. 

957
00:55:32,900 --> 00:55:36,700
Instead your collateral is going
to be paying off that debt over 

958
00:55:36,700 --> 00:55:37,900
time. 
So I think that's something 

959
00:55:37,900 --> 00:55:41,900
unique for our pemex and the way
that we constructed our system 

960
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,800
that other people, you know, 
they would either have to clone 

961
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:49,300
us to replicate it for their own
apps. 

962
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,500
Isn't this interest important in
these systems? 

963
00:55:53,500 --> 00:55:58,100
Because it's what helps bring 
the price back to a Peg. 

964
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:02,100
And it's like or because if 
people like, you know, you want 

965
00:56:02,100 --> 00:56:04,900
to let kind of incentivize 
people to pay off their debt and

966
00:56:04,900 --> 00:56:09,300
like, having this interest is 
kind of what does that without 

967
00:56:09,300 --> 00:56:11,900
requiring people to pay off 
their debt and like, have an 

968
00:56:11,900 --> 00:56:14,400
interest. 
How do you kind of get people to

969
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:19,000
want to pay off their debt? 
Yeah, so if Al USD is off the 

970
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,800
Peg and it's a cheaper, you 
know, in let's say like you 

971
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:26,200
borrowed it at one point and you
sold it for a dollar and then 

972
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:29,100
later on, it's like 97 cents. 
You could be like, hey, I'm 

973
00:56:29,100 --> 00:56:32,500
going to, you know, by this out 
USD off the market because it's 

974
00:56:32,500 --> 00:56:35,300
at a discount right now and I 
can pay off my debt for cheap 

975
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,300
like for cheaper than I would 
have been able to otherwise. 

976
00:56:39,300 --> 00:56:42,500
So that is a paying module or 
mechanism right there. 

977
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:44,800
And then it's just like, you 
know, Arbitrage to the 

978
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:49,800
transmitter is the Aspect right 
there, that helps balance the 

979
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,200
peg out. 
And the fact that like we, you 

980
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:56,500
know, instead of like, people 
paying 12%, you know, for 

981
00:56:56,500 --> 00:57:01,000
interest, you know, we're having
that 12% paid by your 

982
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,500
essentially and that's going 
into the transmitter. 

983
00:57:03,500 --> 00:57:06,500
So that that's the transmitter 
of the money in their sort of 

984
00:57:06,500 --> 00:57:10,600
like this buffer that says like 
hey if you know the pig is you 

985
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,100
know you know at risk then 
people are going to go in the 

986
00:57:13,100 --> 00:57:16,500
transmitter and then you know, 
use that as the method to You 

987
00:57:16,500 --> 00:57:19,000
know, convert their earliest 
either they're going to orbit 

988
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,000
from the curve pool and stuff 
like that and make money off of 

989
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:25,400
it. 
And those those together they 

990
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,200
all, you know, so far, 
everything seems to be 

991
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:32,000
indicating that those those 
mechanisms are working to 

992
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,800
maintain the peg for it. 
I think one of the other things 

993
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:38,700
that makes die Peg. 
So strong and S USD always have 

994
00:57:38,700 --> 00:57:41,900
a premium, is the fact that, you
know, they are in demand assets 

995
00:57:41,900 --> 00:57:45,700
and defy whether that's through 
yield farming or, you know, 

996
00:57:46,700 --> 00:57:51,500
Using them as assets and other 
things are in other protocols. 

997
00:57:51,900 --> 00:57:56,000
I think that's what you know is 
driving the, the high price for,

998
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,000
you know, the premium for died 
in the premium 4S USD is the 

999
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,300
fact that they're useful and 
they are used everywhere. 

1000
00:58:01,900 --> 00:58:05,100
And I think if we can get that 
going for Alias D, then, you 

1001
00:58:05,100 --> 00:58:09,000
know, we'll have we'll take care
of the demand side of it, even 

1002
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,100
stronger. 
So is this going to be enough to

1003
00:58:12,100 --> 00:58:15,500
incentivize and keep the peg 
strong long-term? 

1004
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:20,700
I I'm leaning towards yes but I 
guess we won't really know until

1005
00:58:20,700 --> 00:58:23,600
the bear Market hits and we'll 
see what happens to the yields 

1006
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,700
on chains. 
Like My worry is, if yields go 

1007
00:58:26,700 --> 00:58:31,200
up like under 5% I think we 
would still be fine at around 5%

1008
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:34,300
but under 5% is where I might 
start getting my start to worry 

1009
00:58:34,300 --> 00:58:37,700
about the effectiveness of the 
system and the safety of it. 

1010
00:58:37,700 --> 00:58:40,300
So I'm not the safety but more 
the stability of it. 

1011
00:58:40,300 --> 00:58:44,100
But I think if we take care of 
the demand side, then all the 

1012
00:58:44,100 --> 00:58:47,400
other fears about the pegging 
are going To you know, be 

1013
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:52,300
diminished significantly. 
Doesn't this also creates like a

1014
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:56,000
free. 
You can leverage on like your 

1015
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,500
urine yields. 
So like because if you let's say

1016
00:58:59,500 --> 00:59:05,200
I take it, I take my die, put it
in Alka, mix 40, 50 % of all 

1017
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,500
USD. 
But now if the value is D is 

1018
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:12,400
trading at 121 with die, I could
go trade that for more die. 

1019
00:59:12,500 --> 00:59:15,100
Put that in, alchemy mix again 
and take out. 

1020
00:59:15,100 --> 00:59:18,900
I'll USD and I can keep doing 
this process again and again and

1021
00:59:18,900 --> 00:59:24,400
I'm essentially going to be In. 
I basically got a free 2x 

1022
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:30,800
leverage on my die and this 
means I just doubled my yearn 

1023
00:59:30,900 --> 00:59:36,100
earnings, right? 
Yes, that would mean the same 

1024
00:59:36,100 --> 00:59:39,400
thing. 
Yes, you can lever up to 2x the 

1025
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,400
efficiency gets down every 
single step. 

1026
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,600
Imagine that you start at 100, 
you're trying to get the 200. 

1027
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:49,100
So your next step is 150. 
Then from 115, go to 175 and you

1028
00:59:49,107 --> 00:59:52,200
can go to 187. 
Evan and then, you know, they're

1029
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:56,500
so like, you know, depends on 
your size and how efficient 

1030
00:59:56,500 --> 00:59:59,100
that's going to be, but yes, 
that is something you can do. 

1031
00:59:59,100 --> 01:00:03,000
That's also why we have a 200% 
collateralization ratio if it 

1032
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:07,200
were any less than this 
recursive, you know, borrowing 

1033
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:11,600
strategy could easily go up to 
like five, six, seven, eight, X.

1034
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:16,400
And that would be, you know, I 
think unfair for other users in 

1035
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:21,100
the system because essentially 
they would be You can yield from

1036
01:00:21,100 --> 01:00:23,000
other people if that makes 
sense. 

1037
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:26,700
How does the equilibrium of this
workout? 

1038
01:00:26,700 --> 01:00:29,600
Like, it is the rational thing 
for everyone to do is that 

1039
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:31,400
everyone should be doing this, 
right? 

1040
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:36,800
And then what happens, if 
everyone does this do there's 

1041
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:40,700
the there's the urine earnings 
per die, just half. 

1042
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,100
What's the equilibrium of this 
scenario? 

1043
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,100
Seems like it's something that 
everyone should be doing by 

1044
01:00:45,100 --> 01:00:48,900
default, in fact, you're in 
itself, should be doing, I 

1045
01:00:48,900 --> 01:00:50,400
disagree with that. 
I don't think everyone should be

1046
01:00:50,408 --> 01:00:53,400
doing that by default. 
But anyway, let me like, let me 

1047
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,200
get to that. 
So if Like the you're involved 

1048
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:57,600
with, I think what makes them 
special and different from 

1049
01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:58,800
other. 
Your aggregators is that they're

1050
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,400
scalable because they can add 
any arbitrary amount of 

1051
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:06,700
strategies to their vault and 
that allows it to like you know 

1052
01:01:06,900 --> 01:01:10,500
no one you'll provider gets 
overwhelmed by the yourens TV, 

1053
01:01:10,500 --> 01:01:14,100
all coming into it and you know,
we've seen like when we first 

1054
01:01:14,100 --> 01:01:18,800
started, the yv Dy V had like, I
think, like 20 or 30 million in 

1055
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,200
it and now it has over 600 
million in it. 

1056
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,400
And yet the yields have still 
held up very very, very well and

1057
01:01:24,500 --> 01:01:28,600
And I attribute, yearns, 
Brilliance and engineering, and 

1058
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,100
their strategist for making that
happen. 

1059
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:35,300
So I don't think the yield of 
the year, the yields from urine 

1060
01:01:35,300 --> 01:01:39,700
would collapse in that scenario.
But what would happen is the 

1061
01:01:39,700 --> 01:01:41,700
yields in our pemex would go 
down. 

1062
01:01:41,700 --> 01:01:47,200
Because right now, there is we 
have the transmitter in the, the

1063
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:49,800
die that that's holding in the 
yield, that that's passing on to

1064
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,800
it. 
And right now there's about, you

1065
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:57,100
know, similar amount of dye In 
the transmitter that's in the 

1066
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,100
Alchemists vaults and because of
that it's basically doubling 

1067
01:02:00,100 --> 01:02:04,100
yearns apy because we have like 
twice the amount of principal 

1068
01:02:04,700 --> 01:02:07,800
and if a lot of people were 
doing this, leveraged recursive,

1069
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:12,000
leverage to strategy than it, 
would throw that balance out and

1070
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,400
beat make it a little bit more 
heavier towards the Vault side 

1071
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:18,400
instead of the transmitter side.
And because of that, that would 

1072
01:02:18,900 --> 01:02:23,500
lower the relative amount of 
principle that the transmitter 

1073
01:02:23,500 --> 01:02:26,400
has a relation to the Vault, 
which would lower yields for 

1074
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:30,000
everybody in the system, but it 
wouldn't lower the income of the

1075
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:31,300
system. 
In fact, that would probably go 

1076
01:02:31,300 --> 01:02:35,700
up if there was more in the, you
know, more aggregate die in the 

1077
01:02:35,700 --> 01:02:39,300
system, and you know, that that 
died that they're borrowing and 

1078
01:02:39,300 --> 01:02:41,200
that they're leveraging and 
everything like that, that's 

1079
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,200
still locked as collateral. 
So that's going to be sending 

1080
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:47,000
email to the transmuter this 
whole while and everything like 

1081
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:50,600
that. 
So that should work out. 

1082
01:02:50,900 --> 01:02:53,600
As long as like, the 
collateralization ratio isn't 

1083
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:58,100
too low, then I don't think this
recursive strategy is, is is 

1084
01:02:58,100 --> 01:03:03,500
damaging to the system, but if 
everyone were to do it, it could

1085
01:03:03,500 --> 01:03:06,300
have some unintended 
consequences and maybe 

1086
01:03:06,300 --> 01:03:09,500
destabilize the peg temporarily 
at times. 

1087
01:03:09,500 --> 01:03:12,600
In my opinion, I think long term
you might actually be healthier 

1088
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:14,900
for the paint because that means
there's more die locked in the 

1089
01:03:14,900 --> 01:03:18,300
system and more guaranteed you 
know yield coming into it. 

1090
01:03:18,300 --> 01:03:22,500
So it's not quite a new Neutral 
thing, it's slightly negative, 

1091
01:03:22,500 --> 01:03:25,300
but not that negative for the 
for people to be using the 

1092
01:03:25,300 --> 01:03:26,300
strategy. 
My opinion. 

1093
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:31,500
And I also think that like you 
know, speculating on altcoins, 

1094
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:36,600
you know, or trying to farm and 
other stable coins using the the

1095
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,900
stuff that you borrow is is 
also, you know, really popular, 

1096
01:03:39,900 --> 01:03:41,800
and viable strategy. 
So I don't see a lot of people 

1097
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:49,100
doing the recursive strategy. 
One question I had was about 

1098
01:03:49,100 --> 01:03:53,900
Community obviously having a 
token, a lcx token. 

1099
01:03:54,500 --> 01:03:58,900
So quickly kind of community is 
one of the most important things

1100
01:03:59,500 --> 01:04:02,700
for alchemic, slang term 
success. 

1101
01:04:02,700 --> 01:04:04,700
How do you think about like 
attracting a community? 

1102
01:04:04,700 --> 01:04:09,700
Keeping people very engaged and 
you've mentioned the team, a few

1103
01:04:09,700 --> 01:04:11,900
times. 
How do you see like the team as 

1104
01:04:11,900 --> 01:04:15,000
distinct from the community and 
what's yours? 

1105
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:19,900
Long-term plans for for 
decentralization and governance 

1106
01:04:19,900 --> 01:04:24,900
for alcoholics. 
So we love our community, we 

1107
01:04:24,900 --> 01:04:28,800
have a Discord and we try to 
make our Discord a lightly 

1108
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:32,000
moderated place, so people can 
have fun, and they can, you 

1109
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,000
know, shitpost and enjoy in 
there. 

1110
01:04:34,500 --> 01:04:36,700
And we have lots of funny and 
silly emojis and there that 

1111
01:04:36,700 --> 01:04:40,700
people use and stuff like that. 
So we are communities, really 

1112
01:04:40,700 --> 01:04:42,900
good? 
Are we have a community manager 

1113
01:04:43,300 --> 01:04:49,300
gorby who set up our Discord and
we engage with them like daily I

1114
01:04:49,300 --> 01:04:52,100
get in there answer questions 
and post along with everyone 

1115
01:04:52,100 --> 01:04:54,300
else. 
We actually even have a sub 

1116
01:04:54,300 --> 01:04:56,700
community that was created 
inside and out Comics. 

1117
01:04:56,700 --> 01:05:01,500
They're called the Young shoots 
and they just theorize like all 

1118
01:05:01,500 --> 01:05:03,700
these DJ and stuff that you can 
do without chemicals and other 

1119
01:05:03,700 --> 01:05:06,900
apps in court in connection 
without chemicals and stuff like

1120
01:05:06,900 --> 01:05:08,400
that. 
And they just do the they post 

1121
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:12,300
about it in a degenerate channel
in our Discord. 

1122
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:16,400
One way that we engage them is 
that you know like us in the 

1123
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:19,400
core team like we might come up 
with like a plan or an outline 

1124
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:21,800
of some things I'm going to do 
or some changes that we make. 

1125
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,100
But then will will go to the 
community and our Discord in our

1126
01:05:25,100 --> 01:05:29,400
forum and well, what will ask 
for comments and then, you know,

1127
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:31,800
we'll launch into a big debate 
and then we'll try to find 

1128
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:37,300
consensus among everybody. 
And then, you know, once we have

1129
01:05:37,300 --> 01:05:40,200
some good options or we have 
consensus, will take it to the 

1130
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:45,100
snapshot, to make it official 
and then we'll execute, you 

1131
01:05:45,100 --> 01:05:47,400
know, in accordance with the 
communities, which is at that 

1132
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:49,700
time. 
It's a little bit centralized, 

1133
01:05:49,700 --> 01:05:53,000
but I think we're doing a pretty
good job of involving Our 

1134
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,500
community and keeping them in 
the loop and keeping them 

1135
01:05:55,500 --> 01:05:58,900
involved with, you know, making 
decisions. 

1136
01:05:58,900 --> 01:06:03,500
And I think that's good for, you
know, getting them involved in 

1137
01:06:03,500 --> 01:06:06,800
keeping them sticky and our 
community occasionally, I'll go 

1138
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:10,200
in there and I'll we have a tip 
Bott and I'll Make It Rain is if

1139
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:14,500
I'm feeling generous, especially
like, if somebody's contributing

1140
01:06:14,500 --> 01:06:17,200
a by notice somebody has been 
like in our support Channel and 

1141
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:19,800
like you know been helping out a
bunch of newcomers like you know

1142
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:21,200
I'll throw him a tip or 
something. 

1143
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,600
Makes it really dank meme. 
I'll throw The tip things like 

1144
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:25,100
that, and I think stuff like 
that. 

1145
01:06:25,100 --> 01:06:27,100
And people seeing like, just 
like kind of random acts of 

1146
01:06:27,100 --> 01:06:29,600
generosity Inspire other people 
to do that. 

1147
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:33,600
So like what I've seen now is 
like, people I've tipped for 

1148
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:35,700
their work in the protocol or 
not tipping other people. 

1149
01:06:35,700 --> 01:06:39,100
So it's like this sort of like 
generous or this virtuous cycle 

1150
01:06:39,100 --> 01:06:43,000
going on and I think that's 
helping our community a lot 

1151
01:06:43,900 --> 01:06:47,400
going forward for academics and 
how we're going to decentralize 

1152
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:50,000
is later this year, we're going 
to be launching out coming style

1153
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:55,300
and that's going to basically 
Remove the dev Stranglehold on 

1154
01:06:55,300 --> 01:07:00,100
power as we're going to ditch 
the, the multisig, you know, and

1155
01:07:00,100 --> 01:07:02,100
snapshot format. 
And it's going to go straight to

1156
01:07:02,107 --> 01:07:04,100
like on chain governance and 
everything like that. 

1157
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:07,000
And at that point, anything we 
want to do, like, we're not 

1158
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:09,100
gonna be able to force anything.
Everything's going to have to go

1159
01:07:09,100 --> 01:07:12,200
through the Dow for better or 
worse, and we're going to go 

1160
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:14,200
into that right now. 
We're still like an early phase 

1161
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:17,100
in our growth phase and I think 
having the the multi sake of 

1162
01:07:17,100 --> 01:07:19,400
time lock and the flexibility of
that is better. 

1163
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:22,300
It allows us to move a little 
bit faster and you know, conduct

1164
01:07:22,300 --> 01:07:26,900
deals Things like that and help 
us get started, but we're 

1165
01:07:26,900 --> 01:07:30,800
planning to grow up and get our 
community, becoming the owners 

1166
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:34,100
of the protocol itself and the 
Dow. 

1167
01:07:34,100 --> 01:07:38,000
Hopefully, the down designing is
going to be highly engaging and 

1168
01:07:38,100 --> 01:07:41,900
get everybody in there and 
inactive and give them reason to

1169
01:07:41,900 --> 01:07:47,100
to be active as well. 
So tell us a bit about your 

1170
01:07:47,300 --> 01:07:55,200
exiting news, and I'm a type of 
machine stuff that my exiting 

1171
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:58,500
these, my what I'm excited about
or what I'm exiting about. 

1172
01:07:59,500 --> 01:08:01,400
Yeah, distressed to learn about 
like, you know what show, you 

1173
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:06,500
know, you guys did a raise after
sort of the launch of the token 

1174
01:08:06,500 --> 01:08:09,400
and protocol and stuff. 
So you know really interested to

1175
01:08:09,408 --> 01:08:12,600
learn about like how that 
process goes and like you know, 

1176
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,899
it is you know most teams And do
you usually do like, raise money

1177
01:08:16,899 --> 01:08:18,500
from investors pre-launch of a 
token. 

1178
01:08:18,500 --> 01:08:21,500
So, how did that process? 
Differ a specially. 

1179
01:08:21,500 --> 01:08:22,399
When, you know, you guys are 
all. 

1180
01:08:22,399 --> 01:08:25,200
So like, you know, mostly Anon 
and stuff. 

1181
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:27,600
And so what was the fund? 
What it was just like very 

1182
01:08:27,700 --> 01:08:31,600
unique fundraising process like,
Yeah. 

1183
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:37,200
So this all started because 
before we launched all Comics, I

1184
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:41,300
needed it to have like a job 
done to help us get the 

1185
01:08:41,500 --> 01:08:45,000
everything ready before launch. 
And so I contracted another 

1186
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,700
developer and said, hey can you 
get this done for me? 

1187
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:50,500
It's urgent and it's a little 
bit beyond my skill level. 

1188
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:53,300
And it said, sure, it's like, 
yeah, I told him at the time 

1189
01:08:53,500 --> 01:08:55,000
back. 
When before we launch, when I 

1190
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:58,600
thought the price of a nail CX 
token was like 15 bucks. 

1191
01:08:59,399 --> 01:09:01,899
Yeah, I'll pay 100. 
Am You actually get this job 

1192
01:09:01,899 --> 01:09:06,399
done and then we after we 
launched, we Moon. 

1193
01:09:06,399 --> 01:09:11,800
And at the time I sent this guy,
his hundred lcx lcx was worth, I

1194
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:13,200
think like eight hundred 
dollars. 

1195
01:09:13,700 --> 01:09:16,000
So what I thought was gonna be 
like a fifteen hundred dollar 

1196
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:18,200
payment turned into like an 
eighty thousand dollar payment, 

1197
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:23,899
and then the guy sent it to, he 
cashed it out like immediately 

1198
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:30,399
and sold it for for, I think, 
Keith and then people were 

1199
01:09:30,399 --> 01:09:32,200
walking. 
Monitoring the dev wallets, and 

1200
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,500
like the devs are really 
getting, the devs are rocking 

1201
01:09:34,700 --> 01:09:37,300
and I'm like, no nose. 
I just promised somebody a 

1202
01:09:37,300 --> 01:09:41,300
payment before we launch them 
just making good on my word and 

1203
01:09:41,700 --> 01:09:44,100
because of that, we realize that
we were like, under a 

1204
01:09:44,100 --> 01:09:46,000
microscope. 
Every single thing that we were 

1205
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:49,200
doing any movement of our funds,
everything was going to be 

1206
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:51,000
heavily scrutinized. 
And we thought like if we're 

1207
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:55,100
going to, you know, like in our 
a lot of our team was still 

1208
01:09:55,100 --> 01:09:57,500
working a day job. 
At the time, we we've been 

1209
01:09:57,500 --> 01:10:00,500
developing this in our spare 
time since, you know, midsummer 

1210
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:06,400
So, for the team to quit their 
day, jobs, I'd have to cash out 

1211
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:08,900
some males Yaks in order to have
enough funds to, you know, 

1212
01:10:08,900 --> 01:10:12,400
support them and their families 
and stuff and seeing the 

1213
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:15,300
reaction to the market and the 
community. 

1214
01:10:15,300 --> 01:10:18,800
When, you know, I sent this 
tokens to the other deaf who 

1215
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:20,400
cash them out. 
And they thought that we were 

1216
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:23,800
rocking like we have to have it,
we have to find a different way.

1217
01:10:24,300 --> 01:10:28,600
Luckily, I mean a girl capital 
and they were one of our like 

1218
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:30,900
they contributed to her. 
Initial liquidity pool. 

1219
01:10:31,100 --> 01:10:35,200
On Sushi Swap and there's they 
have a lot of people in there 

1220
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:37,500
that are traitors and developers
are really, really well 

1221
01:10:37,500 --> 01:10:41,100
connected into the ecosystem. 
And I ask them is like, hey, do 

1222
01:10:41,100 --> 01:10:43,500
you think he could help us try 
to find some OTC partners? 

1223
01:10:43,500 --> 01:10:47,200
Because we thought if we want OT
see, you know, we wouldn't have 

1224
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,800
these problems with people 
freaking out thinking that we 

1225
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:52,100
were rocking and stuff like that
and dumping on sushi. 

1226
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:56,800
So they hooked us up with a 
number of players in the space 

1227
01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:59,300
that we're all interested in 
getting a lcx anyway. 

1228
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:04,200
And we struck out A deal at the 
time the the price of Ale CX is 

1229
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:09,900
like 750 or $800 and we you know
we settled on a price of $700 

1230
01:11:09,900 --> 01:11:13,200
for the OTC so overall pretty 
good investors. 

1231
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:17,100
They got in a slight discount 
and we didn't you know jump the 

1232
01:11:17,100 --> 01:11:19,000
market. 
So I think it was a pretty good 

1233
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:23,700
win-win situation and those 
funds allowed the team to quit 

1234
01:11:23,700 --> 01:11:27,300
their day jobs completely so you
go full time so that was really 

1235
01:11:27,300 --> 01:11:31,800
important for us and then during
those negotiations In some other

1236
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:34,400
investors jumped in and said, 
hey, we'd also like to lead a 

1237
01:11:34,407 --> 01:11:37,700
strategic round without 
chemists. 

1238
01:11:37,700 --> 01:11:41,800
And so we work out a deal with 
them and that was using the, the

1239
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:45,500
douse funds itself. 
So that seeded our dowel with 

1240
01:11:45,500 --> 01:11:47,200
over three million dollars of 
capital. 

1241
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:50,900
So it's giving us a lot of 
flexibility for, you know, 

1242
01:11:50,900 --> 01:11:54,200
paying for Audits and other 
expenses that are coming up as 

1243
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:58,300
well, between those two deals, 
the team is taken care of. 

1244
01:11:58,300 --> 01:12:02,300
And the the protocol is in good 
shape, going forward. 

1245
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:06,500
I think if our app wasn't 
compelling and novel and 

1246
01:12:06,500 --> 01:12:09,500
something new, we probably would
not have ever been offered this 

1247
01:12:09,900 --> 01:12:12,400
these deals. 
So I think that that's, you 

1248
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:16,600
know, you know is very 
flattering and very nice, you 

1249
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:20,000
know, for our protocol that they
would consider to invest in 

1250
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,400
Anonymous Deb's. 
I also think that maybe because 

1251
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:25,200
I have a little bit of clout 
reputation in the space and I'm 

1252
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:28,300
connected to people like equal 
Capital that that also probably 

1253
01:12:28,300 --> 01:12:32,800
made investors a little bit more
comfortable investing So, you 

1254
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:36,300
know, I don't know if other 
anons could pull this off. 

1255
01:12:36,300 --> 01:12:40,300
They might not be as, you know, 
as connected as Scoopy triple 

1256
01:12:40,300 --> 01:12:43,900
say Can you tell us a little bit
about what you girl? 

1257
01:12:43,900 --> 01:12:49,200
Capital is? 
Yeah, we're just a it's just a 

1258
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:54,600
group of anions and and people 
who we have a couple docs 

1259
01:12:54,600 --> 01:13:00,200
members as well. 
And so we are like we together. 

1260
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:04,000
We form like, we're all our own 
individual, LPS and together. 

1261
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,100
We form our own little kind of 
like ad. 

1262
01:13:06,100 --> 01:13:09,100
Hoc decentralized VC, not really
decentralized. 

1263
01:13:09,500 --> 01:13:13,000
We're not a dowel or anything 
like that per se, but we try to 

1264
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:18,000
find ecosystem projects that are
Seemed to us that are cool. 

1265
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,900
We're not just like there to you
know invest in things and flip 

1266
01:13:20,900 --> 01:13:22,400
it and take profits and stuff 
like that. 

1267
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:25,100
But we want to find projects 
that we think are cooler moves 

1268
01:13:25,100 --> 01:13:29,100
of the space forward and then we
pull our funds together and we 

1269
01:13:29,100 --> 01:13:32,700
invest and so far, we've done 
radical. 

1270
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:34,600
I'll can mix. 
You know, socks. 

1271
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:39,300
That was more of a liquid token 
investment and Arbitron. 

1272
01:13:40,100 --> 01:13:46,200
And yet, Yes, so those are the 
the Investments that we have a z

1273
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:47,800
girl. 
Right now we've actually turned 

1274
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:51,100
down a lot of things just 
because you know, we wanted to 

1275
01:13:51,100 --> 01:13:54,400
kind of distinguish ourselves as
people, you know, who are more 

1276
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:56,800
allies of the ecosystem. 
Instead of people were just out 

1277
01:13:56,800 --> 01:14:00,200
there to, you know, make a quick
buck in flip tokens and stuff 

1278
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:05,200
like that. 
That's a very eclectic set of 

1279
01:14:05,300 --> 01:14:09,400
investment, I guess it fits for 
a very eclectic set of LPS. 

1280
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:14,700
It's very, very collected, like 
the E girl chat is just a really

1281
01:14:14,700 --> 01:14:18,600
wild and random place where we 
go from talking to defy to 

1282
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:25,000
talking to two women and girls. 
And then we talk about when we 

1283
01:14:25,008 --> 01:14:28,000
talk about like the Chen's 
trading and then, you know, 

1284
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:30,400
Insider news, like all sorts of 
stuff just gets talked about 

1285
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:33,100
there and it's like you know, 
because there's a few devs in 

1286
01:14:33,100 --> 01:14:37,100
there, there's myself included 
we have professional Traders 

1287
01:14:37,900 --> 01:14:42,300
people, you know, like CL. 
You know, and Jeff Wang. 

1288
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:47,900
And we also have just like D5 
power users, like dhn Spartan is

1289
01:14:47,900 --> 01:14:50,200
in there as well. 
So like it's just a very good 

1290
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:52,700
eclectic mix. 
We actually have some girls, any

1291
01:14:52,700 --> 01:14:58,200
girl, shout out to Ava Baylin. 
She's really helped us organize 

1292
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:00,700
and turn it into a reality 
before her. 

1293
01:15:00,700 --> 01:15:02,800
We were just e-girls and now we 
re Queens. 

1294
01:15:03,700 --> 01:15:06,300
So it's a really fun place. 
It's really cool. 

1295
01:15:06,300 --> 01:15:08,900
It's exciting. 
And it's definitely been 

1296
01:15:08,900 --> 01:15:13,400
something that's no helped out 
pemex because, you know, they've

1297
01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:15,700
been able to connect us with a 
lot of good people that have 

1298
01:15:15,700 --> 01:15:19,600
helped us as well. 
Yeah, and I think we're coming 

1299
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:23,500
up to near the end of our time 
so is anything, you know, I 

1300
01:15:23,500 --> 01:15:26,300
guess you already talked a 
little bit about the future of 

1301
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:29,400
Malcolm X, but is there anything
else you want? 

1302
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:33,400
You know, the listeners to know 
about and what's coming up next 

1303
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:38,200
for a alchemax? 
Yeah, so there's actually a lot 

1304
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:40,900
of stuff coming up right now, 
our audit just got back. 

1305
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:43,500
We're just sending it back to 
our auditor real quick to get it

1306
01:15:43,500 --> 01:15:46,500
finalized and everything. 
Like that, everything came back 

1307
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:49,800
looking good and that's going to
give us the green light to get 

1308
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:54,100
onto curved out Phi. 
Also, getting Insurance options 

1309
01:15:54,100 --> 01:15:56,300
for alchemic. 
So so those are some 

1310
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,700
developments are going to coming
in sometime over the next week 

1311
01:15:59,700 --> 01:16:01,600
or so. 
And then shortly thereafter, 

1312
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:03,600
we're going to be launching a 
leathe. 

1313
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:07,100
So, you know, towards the end of
May There's going to be a decent

1314
01:16:07,100 --> 01:16:09,500
amount of stuff coming going on 
without pemex. 

1315
01:16:10,100 --> 01:16:12,400
Then we'll probably have a 
little bit of a quiet period. 

1316
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:16,700
As we are going heads down on 
getting V2, ready for launch, 

1317
01:16:17,500 --> 01:16:20,500
you know, sometime towards the 
end of July or early, August, is

1318
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:25,300
what we're aiming for. 
So, yeah, that's, that's a, the 

1319
01:16:25,300 --> 01:16:27,400
next few months of alkynes right
there. 

1320
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:32,600
There's any more developments 
will be sure to tweet them very 

1321
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:36,500
loudly from our Twitter. 
Yeah, thanks so much Scoopy. 

1322
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:40,200
How can users get started? 
If they want to interact with 

1323
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:43,400
all chemists? 
Yeah, so you can go to alchemic 

1324
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:46,500
that fight, that's our homepage,
they can there's links to the 

1325
01:16:46,500 --> 01:16:50,000
app there and you know, the app 
is a I think pretty 

1326
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:51,900
straightforward to use. 
There's tutorial videos linked 

1327
01:16:51,900 --> 01:16:55,500
on the website itself and if 
that's too hard and find us on 

1328
01:16:55,500 --> 01:16:59,200
Discord and get involved or ask 
questions on there and you know,

1329
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:01,200
be plenty of people there 
willing to help you out. 

1330
01:17:02,100 --> 01:17:03,700
All right, cool.
