David DeVore (00:00)
Hey, what's up? What's up? This is David DeVore with Props. I'm going to do a a week in review recap for you coming in actually more like a little bit of a month in review because we have been busy, busy. So first up, I'm super stoked about next week and I'm going to actually refresh this thing so you can see this beautiful billboard that's going up in Times Square. This is a video of
previous activations with Super Chief, who's our partner on this. So you guys can see what this billboard is going to look like. And this has been an amazing project. You know, we've had 500 artists plus participate. We've had a thousand mint, a thousand unique pieces of art, 20 ,000 free mints on the Zora L2 network. And
We have, I think, 60 artists who are going to go up on Monday in Times Square, running in succession for a week, for a whole week, these guys are gonna be running. And so if you're in New York, definitely check it out. It's gonna be, it's gonna be awesome. Run through Times Square, look up and there we'll have it. It's cool. If you check out
If you check out my RCNFT, you can actually see the screens. So we've been putting together with the help of the Super Chief crew, we have been putting together the exact screens. They're going to be going up in time square on these billboards, are going to be cycling through. And if you want to get a sneak peek of what those look like.
In the digital world, go check out the, the, the, what they've been posting on the regular. It's a at my RC NFT on X .com for formerly called Twitter. What else do we have going on? Man, we have so much. So, one of the things that's super fun is in terms of, this whole, project.
around remote control. We have a Mega Mint feature that we released. We also have a whole bunch of the ability to go in and actually look and buy a whole curators. We call it Mega Mint. You can buy the whole, any, all the works that a curator curated all in one transaction. And so that's the important part. So if you want to,
collect, collect any of the commemoratives. Now, all you need to do is go in with one single transaction, you can go by category, you can go by creator, you can go by artist, and you can collect them all in one transaction, which is really fun, rather than, you know, 10 different transactions. On the homepage, you can collect up to 250, either random or the top voted 250 in one single transaction.
We were trying to get all the whole mint, all 500 artists, all a thousand pieces in there. We couldn't because, you know, minting a thousand things in one transaction is a lot. And we were finding that it would fail, but 250, one transaction, collect them all. There you go. It's awesome. The other thing that we did here is we have curator profiles. We have the creator profiles.
And then the other thing that we have that's super fun, if nobody has seen this yet, is we have this share to Farcaster that was implemented. And so this will, you can see here that I can cast and share this into Farcaster, which was a really exciting feature that a lot of people had asked us to implement. So there you go. We've got a bunch of stuff coming with remote control next.
There's a laundry list of activations and open calls that we're starting to suss through for artists. The whole mission is to bring them exposure. I hear that Japan is in the future. We're talking about maybe trying to take a run at the Sphere in Las Vegas. If we can pull that together, that'd be fun. Certainly there's opportunities for curator challenges. We're looking at Art Basel. And then we're also working on
how do we bring creatives activations in the brand media world, right? And expose them to brands like Warner Music Group or Warner Media or Fox or Disney or whatnot. So we're working hard on that and there'll be an announcement soon. I'm excited to push that out. In other news, in the props world, we got a grant from the Fuel Network. So Fuel is amazing.
for those who aren't familiar with it. And really it's got some very, very interesting technology behind the scenes for large throughput and threading and concurrency and scale. And so we're super excited. We got a grant. And what that grant is, is we're gonna be bringing the Props Prime platform. We're gonna make a fork of it. We're gonna bring the Props Prime platform.
over and do a fuel specific activation of the platform on the fuel network. we're super excited. Our partner Calvin has just started working on that. And he's really I think he's deployed his first contract. And we're really running fast. We built a little internal group of around like NFT standards, like what should the standards
on a new net new protocol like fuel. One of the things that's interesting is with fuel is they have a language called sway. So it's quite different than it's quite different than the EVM smart contract languages that you guys are used to. So we're starting to figure out like, hey, what can we do from a protocol perspective as well as from a it's called facet or feature perspective when it comes to programming a contract.
And so we have a token standard group that we've stood up and we're running very, very fast. I hear that the fuel launch is September. And so we're excited to be part of that. We're running quickly in front of that. And we're to have a whole bunch of announcements coming. If there's artists or creatives or projects who want to get more information or want to be involved with us, please DM, let us know. We'd love to have your involvement.
and let's see, Wanda also let you guys know that, we've started on Catawampus. We've started shipping, profiles. So if you go to Catawampus, Catawampus basically you can, and here's a Validus profile. You can see all the amazing, arts shirts that she's been generating. and of course.
That is the shirt is available. Now this is actually super fun sort of which is like we actually do AI models behind the scenes or we're generating the shirt with AI but then we're also generating models in the shirts with AI. And so any of these shirts that Velada is producing now are available on their profile and they could also curate them into a collection.
And what that means is then anything that gets pot through Velladis collection, we split 50 50. So more on that. And if you if you're interested in using Catawampus, just go to app .catawampus .io. It's free to sign up and and check it out. Start generating shirts. You know, build a collection, build your profile. There's also if you go to app .catawampus .io if you go to catawampus .io forward slash partners, that is
That is the way to sign up to become a partner and do a revenue share on shirts. So super excited there. So that's the quick roundup for the week. We've got a ton going on. I didn't even mention this crazy thing that that did, which whereas he's taking, he's taking art and vectorizing it, putting in a vector database. So that way we can compare, different types of art and similarity in terms of styles and so forth. That's a, that's a side. That's
That's a side quest that's super fun. And maybe we can pack it, unpack it with him a little bit more later this week. okay. So that's the roundup. Thank you very much. And you guys have a great weekend. Bye.
