Speaker 2:Hello, hello everybody. We will get started in just a moment. If you guys can, please do me a favor, as you're coming into the space, if you could like and retweet Also. Hi, mike, if you want to pin anything up to the top of the space, please feel free to do so. Again, we'll get started, probably just a moment or two yeah, yeah, yeah sure. And yeah, how are you doing today so far? For me it's like seven in the morning, so I don't know what time it is where you are.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's, it's okay. It's nine pm in Hong Kong right now. Oh yeah, we just finished my dinner.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah. So yeah, yeah, I'm at a completely different side of the time spectrum. It's interesting I haven't eaten breakfast yet and you finished dinner. It's kind of the beautiful thing about the space right Bridges peeping together from all sides of the world and, yeah, excited for this one long time coming, and yeah, as people start coming into the space again, if you can navigate yourself down to that bottom right here in the bubble, like and retweet, leave any comments or questions.
Speaker 2:All of our AMAs are open to the public, so if you do have any questions, feel free to request a speaker roll and I will add you on up and yeah, with that being said, we will go ahead and get started.
Speaker 2:And again, I invite you to pin anything up to the top, anything that you want anybody to focus on, because I'll refer to it.
Speaker 2:But, yeah, welcome everyone to another I Heart Domains Tech Talk AMA, where we highlight and deep dive with builders, entrepreneurs and visionaries in the web 3, digital ID and domain space. As always, our tech talks are recorded so you can listen back to them here on Twitter or you can view them on our content archive, which is both at link 3, which is link 3.to backslash report, slash defy wallet, which has both our current and upcoming content calendar for those who want to stay in touch with what we're going to be doing in the future, as well as on our website at iheartdomainscom, and there you will see not only our podcast version of our tech talks, but also summaries and transcripts and all that good stuff, and then, of course, they're all available on every major podcast player, including Apple and Spotify. So, yeah, again, like retweet, and yeah, I would like to welcome Mike from EDNS of the stage and, as you guys can see, that is the topic of today's AMA. We are going to be talking about web 3, identity and more. So, once again, how are you doing today?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm doing great. Just finished my dinner.
Speaker 2:Yes, sir, yes sir. So yeah, as I was saying earlier, very excited for this AMA and to dive into the platform. We've actually kind of been connected for quite a while on Telegram. I think we started a conversation a while back and you know glad we finally reconnected and we're able to get you on so we can introduce you to the rest of our community. And yeah, so I browsed through the website. You guys actually do have a very interesting offering that I don't think that many on my side of the main world are aware of.
Speaker 2:So for those of you who may be your first time, you know, tuning into a tech talk again, our platform dives into a lot of conversations with builders. We do a lot of web 3 domain education. You know, primarily a lot of conversations we're having are people that are in the ENS and unstoppable ecosystem and you know, oftentimes when people are stuck kind of in that bubble, they only see the innovations and building that are happening inside of that bubble. And so you know, a lot of times, often, because I'm able to look outside the bubble, I see a lot of products that are being developed that you know are similar to ones that people are looking for in those ecosystems, all that good stuff. So yeah, excited to get into these questions. So my first question is first, let's get to know EDNS.
Speaker 2:For those who have never heard of EDNS, tell it what it stands for and also tell us about yourself and what inspired you to create EDNS and enter the web 3 domain space.
Speaker 3:Yeah, let me have a go pass introduction about myself. Hello guys, this is Mike from EDNS domain and I'm the co-founder and the CTO of EDNS domains. So at first, so let's talk about what EDNS is. Edns, the full name is Ether domain name services. Same thing you can just say is a domain name that is still on the EVM compatible blockchain network or ecosystem.
Speaker 3:We're not only dedicated, have a fixed blockchain network, but we are multi-chain and also cross-chain domain name service, so very similar to other like ENS or Uncertainable other thing else. So one of the interesting part is we are not only focused on web 3, but we also focus on web 2, because now they'll I mean, all of us are using web 2, including the today's tech talk is also on eggs, which is a web 2 social media, and not much of people now they are already using web 3 in the daily lives, right? So we're not when I'm not saying that we're not focused on web 3, but we try to put it on both side because we're hoping, putting both together in our daily life, we have a very deep of integration or immersion of both of them. This is what purpose, or what. This is what goes in our finals.
Speaker 2:So yep, yeah, we've been having again, like I said, and a lot of different groups may have, a lot of conversations really specifically regarding that right, kind of the difference between web 2 and web 3.
Speaker 2:A lot of people, you know, I think up to this point have been trying to pit them against each other and we're starting to understand that these are two worlds that are meant to work together. Right, as you said, like it's it's it's ridiculous to negate the value of web 2 when we're literally using web 2 in order to communicate all these spaces and, at the same time, you know, web 3 domains have an undeniable value, as you know, potential, you know name identifiers and digital identity, you know, both in the blockchain and in the real world. So glad that your, your platform, is very aware of that and it's building towards it. So, yeah, as I keep mentioning other platforms that are out there that a lot of people might be used to, I'd like you to highlight, you know, some of the unique differences between, perhaps, your platform and something like an unstoppable or an E&S. You know, so that people can understand, sort of the difference in offering and the value that you provide.
Speaker 3:Yeah, absolutely, I think a lot. Yeah, I've used that. A lot of people already may have heard about the ENS, unsaidable Space, idp's popular domain name service and obviously, for example, ens. They only based on Ethereum and that's all. But I mean now that how many dApps or how many users are still using Ethereum right? Literally a lot of not much right now, because, like the high gas, the other low transaction, sleep, other things and also for Unsaidable, they are so based on either one or two, like also Ethereum or Polygon, maybe even BNB. Right now, they all have a dedicated blockchain network that they are living on.
Speaker 3:Once you're not living on. For example, I got an ENS domain Mike Ndot ETH on ENS. If I'm not using Ethereum right now, maybe I go to Polygon or Avalanche, then my ENS domain is no longer useful for me. Then I need to, like, find a Polygon ID on Polygon or Avalanche domain name on Avalanche. So there will be tons of domain that I need to take care of if I need to Either. Each time when I go to a new blockchain network, they are going to buy a new domain system on the blockchain. So EDNS eliminate these issues and problems. So how we do it? We introduce the crushing technologies by integrating with layer zero and different crushing bridge, which allow the user to bridge their domain across different blockchain network. And for now, edns have already support over 12 EDM compatible blockchains, for example, polygon, avalanche, phantom, arbitrum, optimism tons of these major or of the EDM compatible blockchain networks nowadays and actually your domain not only can be bridged, but also we have another type of domain. In our site we call it OMINI domain, which means your domain is exists on multiple blockchain network at the same time.
Speaker 3:So people, a lot of people question like oh then why would take so much effort to like having a domain on multiple blockchain network and why don't EDNS just build their own blockchain network like EDNS blockchain specified specifically for the domain name service?
Speaker 3:Yeah, this is one of very interesting questions there's some tech guys or people have asked me, as one of the issues is about the integration of different parties or DABs integration. Because when, for example, some DABs on Polygon, they want a domain name service, very obviously they want the domain name service, also support on Polygon or have some kind of integration with Polygon. But if we are a unique or a distinct of a blockchain network, then it's very hard to have a relation or integration with different blockchain network, or we take a very lot of effort to it. So, in at this moment, though, we decided to have like going on to a multi-chain and crushing solution which benefit different DABs on different blockchain networks. I think this is one of the most interesting or outstanding things that what EDNS can offer to different end users, or different number of DABs or end users, or different service providers or infrastructure they want to adopt the name service, yeah it certainly is different and unique.
Speaker 2:It's actually probably at the subject of one of the biggest debates and rivalries that's currently going on right now in the what the domain ecosystem, through the two giants that we've already mentioned and that is one of them is trying to accomplish, essentially, interoperability between blockchain, and it sounds like that you guys have already done that, like if you're able to create domain names that are able to be bridged from, you know, multiple blockchains in order to integrate with you know whatever, again, dabs or integrations are established on that specific blockchain. I mean, people have that choice and that really is a big deal. There are actually a lot of different components to your platform and I'm going to ask a question and then I'm going to kind of go back to ask a question about those different components, because it's more than just domains. But, going back to the domains, you guys actually have your own proprietary extensions, correct? Can you tell us a little bit about those? Because right now, this functionality, I'm assuming, only exists for those extensions that are registered on EDNS, correct?
Speaker 3:Yep, and yeah, we have introduced like a Google Chrome browser extension for end user to easily like translating because, like the browser, now they like Google Chrome Safari. Ash doesn't have any integration or support for the Web3 world. So, except there are some browser, for example Opera or Brave, they are happily to integrate with Web3. For example, they have already integrated with ENS or an Unstartable and also Solana name services. So we also introduced our Google Chrome extension to it and we also have what we call is a site project which is a resolver GDN and which is in our final goals or roadmap. We could be eventually an essentialized API which supporting multiple name services for resolving because, like, if I want to resolve the ENS, then I have integration with ENS. If I want my depth can resolve or support, integrate with a space ID, I need to integrate with a state ID. So, which means if each time I want to integrate with other name services, I need to do an other integration. So at this time we can see the issues because quite a lot of jobs is already integrated, like with ENS or Unstartable. They also want to adopt with different name services, so they don't want to take a lot of effort on it. So we introduce our centralized API which has already integrated with multiple name services. So they only need to integrate with our API Then they can already support multiple name services on existing market nowadays.
Speaker 3:And we will not only like focusing on the domain part, because nowadays the domain for the normal internet user there are literally two purpose for them. The first one, going website one. For example, I want to go to Google, then I type Googlecom. I want to go to YouTube, I go to UDcom. The first thing, that what a domain can do. The second thing, email. Email, much more useful in work but not a normal daily life. So I think this domain are two primary purpose.
Speaker 3:So let's focus on the first one, because web freeze is just the beginning. So we have also introduced our own decentralized storage surface and eventually we allow different depths to upload their website or static content or any files onto the decentralized storage and eventually, by integrating with EDNS domain, they can easily like typing any EDNS domains on the browser. Then they can link it to the website on the decentralized storage and this decentralized storage surface which is called D drive. So eventually, when we introduce, firstly introduce EDNS, actually we also have inside the development and the ongoing development of the D drive. So actually what we try to do is a complete, a web, three web solution instead of a single like domain name service or storage service, because I mean not a who is not serving the website. So I think this is one of the most outstanding and other outstanding feature that what EDNS can offer to no matter it's end users or our adapts off their potting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's a big one. That's actually one of the things I wanted to tap into and that that's again referencing to the overall space. I think that a lot of the space is kind of shadowed to to this development because it's this is an amazing development and it's being talked about like it's new news, you know, for some other builders on the other side of the space and I think people will be very excited to know that other builders have already accomplished this and achieved this. So, essentially, what people are starting to have conversations for and are looking for and understanding the importance of is being able to upload their content and the decentralized to the stores, being able to publish things, essentially where it can't be taken down, where it's decentralized, where it's being controlled by them. And digital ID, you know, pairs perfectly with that. You know, the mutable ownership of your identity, ownership of your content. Eventually, as you said, like many people will continue to build de apps and ecosystems where people compare the two together and kind of control what they want to do with it. And yeah, that, combined with you know your, your multi chain and cross chain approach, really makes you guys like a, like a technological giant or Marvel in the space. I'm really excited to to dive into this.
Speaker 2:I wanted to talk about going back to the multi chain a little bit and before we do that, also want to introduce and say hi to Chris from Namertips who got on the stage. He is my co host. Yeah, what's going on? How you doing this morning, chris?
Speaker 4:I am doing well part my tardiness. It was a long morning but I am here for a great discussion.
Speaker 2:Yes, sir, yes sir, it's great to have you in here as well. And, for those who also may just be tuning in, we are in the middle of our AMA with Mike of the DNS, that's ether domain name services. We are talking about All of the different utilities that they're bringing to the space, one of which is digital ID, also multi chain and cross chain functionality Want to dig back into that just a little bit. So tell us how that kind of works. I guess, more inferior, somebody is meeting one of the and I don't know if you mentioned the domain extensions that people are available to meet.
Speaker 2:Yet, off of the DNS, let's say dot with three, for instance, somebody minutes dot with three. Are they able to initially choose which blockchain they want to meant to do? And then are there specific integrations that work just on that blockchain? And then if they say, ooh, you know there's. You know, my favorite D app is on, let's say, avalanche or something, I want to move my domain over there so that I can interact with it, and will they have the ability to move it back, etc. Etc.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, absolutely. They can easily like, for example, my name is Mike and then I can easily like buying a register domain, mike and dot web three on our DNS website or the apps and later on, after like, they can choose any blockchain that we have supported to register their domain and it's like oh, I registered my team dot web three on a polygon and somehow I'm done with polygon, I'm moving to a layer two, like arbitra, so they can easily like clicking is button on also on the apps that bridge them, pressure domain to the arbitra and then send the signature that says send the transaction. Then a few minutes later your domain will be have been, will be bridges and transfer to the arbitra. No, any technical stuff, you need to work on just the regular bridging process that you experienced, that in D by the same question refers to publishing as well.
Speaker 2:So if I'm using utilizing the system to publish content, am I able to choose which chain to publish that on?
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's depends on what, where your domains located. For example, if the domain is on up launch, so your data or your content also will be published and save it on after launch. It depends on the location of your domains.
Speaker 2:Yeah, see that that is some amazing functionality that gives a lot of flexibility and freedom to people because they're there. I mean, although a lot of people can see, you know a real big difference, mostly in gas, between a theory of another layer one, so a lot of people don't notice subtle differences between those other layer twos. And then and they'll, once they, once they get outside the theory because there's something and they're there right.
Speaker 2:There's a reason why somebody might want to publish something to be and be, as opposed to avalanche and etc. So I'm glad that you guys have that freedom and flexibility. Also now taking, you know, the decentralized storage and possibly even naming, and you mentioned that you're able to integrate with other ecosystems in defy by game fine and D ads. How exactly do you do that? And also, like what part do you think you play in the future of growing those ecosystems with your offer?
Speaker 3:I think the most first part is like the purpose of the DNS or a name service that is doing the name, for example, in a game, by most of the game in the web, we were nowadays still using a central line name service, so they can easily like adopting Eden as to replacing their central light name service, to like doing a mapping to their end user wallet address and and well, it will be making them more wet three or decentralized and in the divine, the same things like if you want to transfer a fund to another Another one address, if actually I think that's happening already happened in our business days, like some of our fine one to pay us using crypto, and because we have in conversation on telegram and somehow our fine have downloaded a, have a compromise telegram fine on their Android mobile phone and at the moment when we send our wallet address to the client, the wallet address somehow will be replaced it by the hacker wallet address.
Speaker 3:So at the end, the client have sending the fund to the hacker wallet address instead of our wallet address. So at this moment, if there's a domain name that can be double verified by our client using on chain for applications, well, this thing we won't happen. So I think and other very critical issues for the defy in the next in the future, will be adopting the name service, not only Eden as, but also other nameservice or even other design, essential identity or the ID solution, to like having a identity proof with, with with three are blocking generally involved to have a double verification to secure the entire divide ecosystem, because there's no doubt for bigger and our blockchain or crypto stuff or other game files, as if I are born because of the fight. So I think it's a very important thing that how to have a much more secure and easy identification and have a much more easy use experience in the defy ecosystem.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that that is definitely spot on. And you know, for those of you if you, if you haven't gotten it yet, you know, our entire existence is, you know, based on pushing forward the narrative and importance of what digital ID is going to serve. You know, on the blockchain, because, as obviously the blockchain is an extremely confusing place, we don't have to sit money to the wrong place or interact with the wrong thing because we're just looking at numbers, right numbers and characters, that all can look identical depending on how identical they are and what separates those things. That that that point of familiarity is names. And that's why, you know, we and several others in the space and we have a number of similar tips and quite a few other builders definitely believe that this is the next evolution.
Speaker 2:You know I'm making this like super big right, but the next evolution of mankind, like technology, evolves us in Web three is an emerging technology the way that we will integrate and become comfortable and interact with each other and interact with each other in this, with three spaces going to be with domains, the same as we find, interact and deal with businesses in the web to spaces with their domains, and so those of you who are listening to this early. You're definitely early. You're at the forefront. You have the ability to interact with, not only to acquire you know the names that will provide you value as we go through this journey but also that that economic opportunity as well For those of you who are speculative, and I want to talk about that a little bit with your partner network. Before I do so, though, I invite Chris to ask any questions if you have any.
Speaker 4:I don't really have any questions. I think that the information has been provided has been very enlightening. I like the emphasis on distinction. You know, in web three you made the statement about you know being identified with numbers and strings of this and you know that's that. That lens itself to identifying the technology and how it's functioning, but it doesn't necessarily benefit the people and make it easier for them to engage with the technology. So this sounds like a great option to ensure that you know people don't get lost down the technological rabbit hole.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and the technology behind it. You know, the more important, or just as important as the names itself, is that we start and I know we have a lot of builders that are that are really focused on consumer focus UI. We really do need a lot more of it and put an emphasis on that instead of the, you know, wagner, that sell names, because to bring more people in the space, we do need easy multi chain functionality, convenience, you know, the ability to easily integrate with multiple D apps across any ecosystem, and then, in addition to that, we need that kind of UI that lets people interact with it without making them think they're interacting with crypto. So, all of these, these stepping stones, I'm so glad to see builders that are that are building in that direction, because that gets us closer and closer to the environment. That will create mass adoption. Yeah, I see you got anything to say, mike.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's amazing because, like in the moment, that's going to get a part of web three.
Speaker 3:When going to web two, everything, a lot of people like the internet has been developed now they are most 30, 40 years and a lot of people are already getting used to it.
Speaker 3:So, when we keep it standing forward into the era of web three, so we have to not forgetting web two because, like I just said, a divide, different game files to buy, they're like taking the market quickly and adopting into a lot of people live or different technology quickly. So we have to not forgetting the very first things that we need to do on the internet. That is, identification, because it's important, like you have to. You need to identify everything that you interact on the internet now because, like focus, somehow a few months ago, some game via website DNS has been hacked it and if, because, like DNS, essentialized services based on 20 years technology ago. So if, like, the technology keep evolving, keep having development and when the decentralized domain service keep taking part in the internet in the next few years, so I think there's not no longer will have not these like cyber security events that's coming out because it's already secured by decentralized technology that's been developing nowadays.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's definitely definitely the advantage of blockchain tech and hopefully many people start to acknowledge that. I wanted to dig in now kind of to the economic, economic opportunity that potentially could be there, because I know this is what a lot of people like here. So kind of two part. First I want to talk about the individual opportunity for people who are coming to your website for the first time, who are interacting at the basic level. I either hear all this through bullish. I get all this by venting or by securing one of the DNS domains. How do they do that? What is the cost for a domain? And then, if someone gets a domain name that they say, hey, this is that one I know that I could sell. Are there marketplaces and things like that for them to do so on?
Speaker 3:Yeah, if like, for example, a domain name that's on our DNS is 25 years for a year and many people think like our domain name again because, like, our domain is very similar to DNS on a several, our domain name is also a NFT so you can sell it on the second market.
Speaker 3:But we have doing more than that because, like a domain for example, mike's in dot meta is a domain name then I can have different sub domain right. So we're adding different features. That is like you can setting the users. Remember what protocol is already adopted is also is a proof that protocol by YRZ, so you can easily setting the userships of your domain or a sub domain that you can reselling on the second market again, and for these features we have already implemented but we're still having development into the sub domain second hand market place onto our website. So, yeah, so you can have more if like, because honestly, there's not much of functionality of a domain name in the entire web three other than doing using for transferring funds or using for a website. So we hopefully having more development and opportunity to cooperate with different, no matter your web three company or a web two company or even enterprise like extending the utilities of our domain into entire web three world.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it's coming right. We all know it's coming. Builders are building, both native builders in the web three space or you know they're building furiously trying to create amazing utility for domains in every web space, but even on the web two side to right that we they've got their eye on here and they're also not only looking at ways to enter but also building cool things as well. So it will happen, right? I wanted to talk about that second economic opportunity and this leads right into that, because you guys do have a partner network and invite people to work with you in order to expand that utility and reach in that network. So let's talk about that. Let's talk about it. If people are in a position to partner with you, you know, outside of again, just a personal collector, so somebody is a D app or has an ecosystem or community how do they do that? And then you know, obviously, what kind of incentives or perks arrive on the other side of that partnership.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there's still advantage.
Speaker 3:The first few things very obvious, like we have more exposure on the entire web three world because we're actively to participating in different conference or submit. For example of around two months ago, we have a booth on the token 2049 and we also have a booth on the GTAC in Dubai last month, october. We're actually to working with different cloud providers because we have another business which is a cloud resouling, so we have a very close partnership with different cloud. So you know, cloud nowadays like the most giant tech, not with the world, not like, for example, amazon, google, microsoft. They very interested with what's the technology or blockchain technology. So we have, when having partners with that, we would we have a much more opportunity to have connecting with different cloud providers or even having opportunities. Maybe they have some opportunities or cooperation with us and we are not able to digest or to take it. Then we can put it into our partner to having to working with together. So, yeah, this pilot of that plant station or better, you can take it from what to side or what reside.
Speaker 2:Yes, sir, yes sir, I want to remind everybody and I'm about to ask you, kind of, I guess, one of our final questions, but I wanted to remind everybody. If you do have any questions, feel free to request a speaker role and I will be happy to accommodate you. This is certainly been a very enlightening AMA and I've learned a lot about the technology that you guys bring to the space and excited to continue to see it grow. What that being said, that is my next question is what can we look forward to? Again, I know you guys just launched your this new capability, the multi-chain, etc. The EDNS 2.0, so tell us about what's ahead on the roadmap, what we can look forward to for both existing as a new entrance into the EDNS ecosystem.
Speaker 3:Yeah, absolutely, because we introduced our multi-chain and cross-chain like around three or four months ago and there's quite a lot of user registered and working on like getting know what multi-chain or cross-chain technology, how it works, and our next steps is to increasing the adoption, all the or experiencing base on the Web2 technology in central Web3. So, as I said, they are very hard to cope with them, to enjoy or to adopting the Web3 technology. So for now, we are already working with a telecom company in Asia it's quite huge I'm sorry I'm not able to disclose the name so we hopefully we can integrate our EDNS domains into their DNS surface so at the end, the user under this telecom will be able to resolve our EDNS domain names without any modification or Chrome extension, any other stuff which allows them to enjoy or using our EDNS domain name without any configuration or modification. And this is one of the things that we've been working with them to like, hoping to bring in more utilities to the end users.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's extremely exciting and I'm glad that you guys have been working and developed that partnership. I think that's the only girl for everybody, right? That's what we're all trying to achieve is you know, that dual functionality really locks in that value of being able to resolve these natively over the browser or over the DNS. So, yeah, looking forward to that. And for those, yeah, can you hear me? Yeah, I'm. I don't know if everyone is able to hear me and I don't know if it's just Mike that can't hear me. If anybody can throw a thumbs up, if you can hear me still, yeah, I'm not sure if we're having connection issues here, but I can't hear our speaker. Yeah, again, if you can hear me, if you can throw a thumbs up, I can kind of continue on. I don't know if it's me, that, no, one's able to hear just a speaker.
Speaker 2:And I do hear your voice, mike, so I don't know if it's just me that can't be heard, since I thought we said some technical issues.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well then I'm guessing it's me. Hadai, if can you throw a thumbs up, if you can hear me? I don't know if you're saying you can hear me or you can hear Mike, all right, awesome. So if you guys can hear me, I guess Mike is having some issues. I don't know if anybody can communicate him to step down or step back up, but that was actually kind of wrapping around to one of the last questions I had.
Speaker 2:The final question I was actually going to ask him was how can people join the community? Or, if you have, if you're interested in anything else, how can you learn about it? And I guess I can go ahead and answer that question, which is EDNSDomain. So, obviously, with anyone that we are doing AMA with, we encourage you to do your own research. This is not financial advice, but obviously, if you like what you hear and you want to learn more about anyone that we have that we bring on for an AMA, we do invite you to join the community. So EDNSDomain is how you can get directly to the platform, as well as their Twitter account. Chris, can you hear me?
Speaker 4:Yes, I can hear you. I had to drop down and come back up, yeah and.
Speaker 2:I don't think Mike can hear me as well. Can you ask Mike? I think he can hear you, though. Can you ask him to drop down and come back up?
Speaker 4:Mike, are you able to drop down and come back up?
Speaker 3:Me, you mean, is not easier.
Speaker 4:Yes, I don't think I can hear you.
Speaker 3:Okay, let me try again.
Speaker 2:Austin's lost that word just because I do really want to close out. And yeah, do you have anything that you wanted to add, while we're waiting on him to come back up?
Speaker 4:No, I think that you know the amount of information that I've been able to gather thus far.
Speaker 4:The emphasis that EDNS is placing on just the interoperability and the cross-chain compatibility, I think is important. I think that as we move forward, the more projects and teams that we hear reference, that we can use that kind of as a cue that they're on the right track with their building, because at this point in time is blatantly obvious that you know that interoperability is going to be important. But if there was something that really really stood out, it was the ability to add the distinction, another layer of distinction, to the names. Because when he shared the example about the user on telegram sending, you know funds to the incorrect wallet address and you know the funds being intercepted. Basically, I think that that's an entirely new dynamic that we're going to have to consider. You know the intercepting of funds, the intercepting of digital assets, so if you can put another layer of distinction on top of a name and ensure that that type of thing doesn't happen, it makes the ecosystem more secure and that's what people want. They want security.
Speaker 2:Absolutely agree, 100%. Mike. Let's do a mic check. Can you hear me? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:I can hear me.
Speaker 2:Yes, sir, yes sir, Sorry about that, we lost you for just a moment. Yeah, appreciate your answer to the last question, and we're kind of getting around to wrapping up. I was closing up with letting everybody know where they can enter your ecosystem, but I guess this is the perfect time for you to do so as well. If people want to get in touch with the community, if they want to join, if they want to meet, if they want to become a partner, explore any of the things that we talked about. What are the easiest ways to do so?
Speaker 3:Yeah, they can like. Firstly, like, obviously, getting know our entire ecosystem, like how to work and what it is and what functionality and utilities that it has, and they can feel free to join our Discord Telegram community, getting know of our members or our community, how they behave and if they wish to have a more partnership with us, they can like feel free to contact me for more further discussion and conversations. You're happy to yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, definitely, and I actually personally might reach out there. There's a lot about what you said and, like I said, a lot that I'm seeing as I'm digging in, that I'm extremely interested in. Again, you know it's definitely a pleasure as Chris has said that to see a lot of builders that are building in the right direction.
Speaker 2:And everything is the right direction as long as you're building in here like that.
Speaker 2:Again, not to the track for those who are building different parts of the ecosystem to serve different parts of the ecosystem, but the general direction interoperability, you know, getting people, you know, focus on the narrative that these names mean something, that they're used to help improve your life and improve the process of interacting on the blockchain, blockchain, all that good stuff people building towards that narrative helps build the space bigger because it's more inclusive to people than those who are, you know, kind of in the space now speculators and more tech focused.
Speaker 2:So extremely glad again for more builders like you in the space and again, encourage anyone who's listened to this AMA that likes what you hear to join the community, ask questions, do your research. Little recap for those of you who may have joined in later just now joining we have just had this tech talk AMA with EDNS, which is either domain name services. They are a cross chain, multi chain digital identity service that allows you to not only mint what through domains on multiple chains, but also allows you to publish content on multiple chains as well, with their decentralized storage and more right. So, yeah, awesome, awesome. Any last words you want to leave us with before we get, before we, before I start the rest of my day, right, it's only about to be eight o'clock.
Speaker 3:Yeah, hopefully, like it has like again, we hopefully to have a more utilities not again you have said, not exclusively for the, the, the guides or builders inside these web three ecosystem, but also the internet user. Now that and hopefully as I, introduce and adopting more web three technologies to the fundamental internet users, not only like domain names or decentralized storage, but hopefully also introduce different sort of service or application that is backed by the central like technologies to the internet users.
Speaker 2:Yes, sir, yes sir, chris, got any last words for us?
Speaker 4:No, I just want to thank him for taking you know. Thank you, mike, for taking time out of your day to come into the space and share with us. You know what it is that you and the team are building, because that's really important. You know, building takes a lot of work, takes a lot of keeping your head down and working through the challenges, and when you have the members of the team that are willing to come and speak to the public about what they're building and what the benefits are, I think that it just makes everyone more comfortable and more enthusiastic about what web three and what your team has to offer. So thank you for joining us.
Speaker 3:Thank you very much, I appreciate it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I definitely agree, as I said many times on our on our AMAs, we are privileged to get you know the level of people and builders that we are to get on our spaces. You know we're talking to the co-founder of EDNS, so it's always an amazing opportunity to be able to deep dive with the people who are actually really building, because one day we're going to look back and we're really going to see the value of being able to have these grassroots conversations and ask these questions before they get too big to answer right. So, yeah, I want to definitely thank you. I know we've had this in planning for a while and I'm glad we popped this off. Our line of communication has been open for a while, so I look forward to continuing in the talk and see how we can continue to build a relationship in the space.
Speaker 2:And, yeah, for those of you who want to listen back to the space, you have the opportunity to do so here on Twitter. Also, as I said earlier, we will be uploading this to our Tech Talk podcast, so that'll be available and pretty much every major podcast player, including Apple and Spotify as well, is on our website at iHeart Domainscom. And, yeah, again, big thank you to Mike with EDNS, thank you to Chris and, yeah, I want to thank you guys also for attending another iHeart Domains Tech Talk. Ama. Enjoy the rest of your week. Yeah, stay bullish on what your identity is.
