I'll be just going to talk about Echoverse. I just made the name up. I'm sure I'll change the name in the future. So yeah, don't judge me for that. This is an ideation phase.

So bear with me. My nights consist of me turning off the lights in my living room, getting some water, and getting ready for a five-minute TikTok scrolling so that I can just, you know, end up the day by supporting my thoughts and my feelings and everything with all of those content creators talking about my issues. So I just lay down. I go through all of the videos that I like, then there's a video that just makes me feel so good, and I go through the comments, because I want more of that. I want that dopamine hit, like, x a hundred times.

And then I see a comment of, like, 60,000 likes, and it makes me even more like happy or laughing or even sad, I don't know, something in between everything. And I'm like, oh, but this is so cool. Like 60 fucking thousand people reacted to this person's comments. Like this could change their lives, but what's happening with them? Are they depressed lying on their bed?

Are they working at McDonald's? Or are they actually someone who has their life together and they can actually, you know, just be? Never mind. And then, you know, I'm a dev rel. I'll be codes on socials.

And today there's a lot of protocols. There's a lot of chains. And they are like ghost towns. It's not a lot of users interacting on those protocols. Their product market fit is nowhere.

Everyone is struggling to find those users. And then you hear all of those pitches trying to convince you that their technology is amazing, but they need people. They need users, and there is no slide on how they can get those users on their chain. So this is what Echoverse is. In my perspective, I am extremely passionate about traction in general, about building or having this core group of friends that I interact with on a daily basis, and I am kind of a source of change for them, and I change their lives for better in my perspective every time they interact with me.

So it's quite intense to be a friend with me so bear in mind for that as well and then while I was chatting with different teams related to ideas for product market fit and everything else I called a note on my application on my notes app called my startup and I just listed 30 links of Instagram accounts some of which you can see all of them here and you can call these meme coins if you want with like four four million followers or like two million or 200,000 who have different, let's say, let's read one, dinosaur couch. Yeah, so good. We all like to be that from day to day. You know, like one day we wake up, we don't wanna live. And then, yeah, and you see like four million are resonating with this account and all of the content that they are sharing, like four million people are actually very trustfully whatever audience that can actually give a part of their lives in their day to this account to read their posts, interact, and connect with people that they are commenting on their posts.

So I went to all of those chains. I was talking to them, and I said, well, you know Pudgy Penguins, right? There's this NFT project who is very known, very cool, good vibes and everything. And what did Luca, one of the founders did, he saw the project. The project was already in Web3.

It was an NFT and they bought it. It was not started from scratch. And what do they have on Instagram? They have a million followers. Why?

Because they have this cute couple of pudgy penguins living their life. And we all enjoy it. I enjoy it. So I would pitch this to all of those founders of many other Layer 2s, as you are aware. We might announce an Echoverse Layer 2 today if you are interested, just for fun.

Because it's the new vibe to have each of us a layer or two. But we will have users. That's the twist. And my goal is to showcase how we live in a world where we connect, we have a one-on-one interaction or one-to-many interactions, but there are so many underlying layers of opportunities, gaps that we can find, dots that we can create, and find those niche, interesting ideas that have thriving communities and have people behind them that they would support like 100%. Those are a thousand true friends.

They are out there living their lives with their products that they use, with the features that they love and everything else. So, yeah. This is kind of my startup idea. It's how can I build mini use cases that I would target each of those links that they have on their websites, whatever merge that they are building, to create for them, if there are nine different tracks of channels in marketing, to create the other track or distribution channel in Web3. So I guess that would be my first go-to-market use case with all of the technologies that were mentioned here related to the CKTLS and all of the on-ramp and off-ramp.

And yeah, as I mentioned, traction is something that I'm very passionate about. Not a lot of people know how to do that in Web3. There's a lot of space for us to learn and build and iterate. And yeah, that's why with the Echoverse, the value from interactions across the digital universe, which is connected to another thing that I wanted to share, and that is some words from one of the top marketers that I follow when it comes to the whole idea. People like us do things like this.

It's how each of us understands culture and marketers engage with this idea every day. The way of being, our tactics can make a difference, but our strategy, our commitment to a way of being and the story to be told and a promise to be made can change everything. If you want to make change, begin by making culture. An amazing thing to say. And I do believe that if I'm able to solve a problem for two of my friends to get started in crypto, in DeFi or any other thing, that can be multiplied to those 4 million dinosaur couch fans as well.

And we just need to iterate faster and break things as well. So yeah. This is me. Come talk. Let's brainstorm.

And my goal for this residency is that by the end of it, I can actually go live with some use case, leveraging all of the tech that we see today. Thank you.
