devices in this movie.

Speaker 2:

Hello, hello everyone. We will get started in just a moment. In the meantime, as you come into the space, if you could please do me a favor and go to that bottom right hand bubble, like and retweet the space, leave any comments. All that good stuff. Yeah, very excited for this one. How are you doing today?

Speaker 3:

Gmgm, I'm doing great. How are you?

Speaker 2:

I am doing pretty good. It has been actually an extremely busy day so far today.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah so, yeah, new Year comes with a lot of pending stuff, so we are working on all those updates and those things. So, yeah, it was busy and we just finished the spaces with Flexter and Chavad.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I was on that one for a little bit and then I had to kind of pre-prepare for this one and take another meeting. But yeah, you have certainly been busy. So yeah, I'm glad I finally get my turn.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so yeah, please go ahead.

Speaker 2:

Now I'm just going to remind everybody that we are going to get started in just a moment. I see a couple of people have come up on stage. Of course, we've got my amazing co-host, chris, with Namertips. I also see we've got the pleasure of having Priyanka on stage again as well. How are you doing today?

Speaker 5:

Hey, it's so good to be here. Look at all of us surviving the first working Monday of the New Year. So really happy to be here at value wherever I can, and for now I'm just going to soak it all in and just listen to the energy of the room. Happy New Year everyone. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yes, happy New Year and definitely glad to have you here. And then, yeah, how are you doing, Chris?

Speaker 4:

Well, I'm doing. I'm feeling a lot better. This is a recovery Monday for me. I'm feeling as under the weather as I was and I get to go ahead and get back into the swing of things with this wonderful space that we're getting ready to go here and embark on.

Speaker 2:

Yes, sir, it's a great Monday to do this. Like I said, I kind of I tried to be as A or K as much as possible during the holidays. I didn't know K-Jive at it, but not the best, so it's actually probably the second or third working Monday for me. Here we are and, yeah, without further ado, I'm about to go ahead and get into the spaces Once again. If anybody does want to come up or has any questions, feel free to request a speak roll and we will accommodate.

Speaker 2:

But yeah, without further ado, I would like to welcome everybody to another I Heart Domains Tech Talk EMA, where we highlight and deep dive with builders, entrepreneurs and visionaries in the Web 3, digital ID and Tech and Domain Space. As always, our Tech Talks are recorded and you can view our content archive on our website at IHeartDomainscom. And then also, all of our Tech Talks are available in podcast form on every major podcast player, including Apple and Spotify, and you can get to that at TechTalkhost. And yeah, again, if you haven't already done so, please also like and retweet any questions that you have. If you don't want to come up and ask them, you can also leave them in the comments. Also as a prerequisite, I do encourage anyone who is listening. If you hear something that you, that you like and you want any more information, I always encourage you to join the community directly. As always, do your own research, and our AMAs are not financial advice and, without further ado, let's get into it.

Speaker 2:

So, as you guys can see, our AMA today is and I'm going to start this off this way so, and well, it'll make sense here in a second, but our AMA today is with 1W3, which is a no code decentralized website builder, and, yeah, definitely, like I said, looking forward to getting a chance to deep dive into myself. You've been around the scene, especially in the ENS circuit. Anybody who's active in the ENS ecosystem, you know, probably doesn't need an introduction at all. But yeah, I want to give you an opportunity to introduce yourself. We're going to kind of start with the who, what, when, where and why. So, yeah, tell us a little bit about yourself in a basic introduction to 1W3, starting with the drum roll, the new name. So yeah, I kind of I was corny for getting around back to that, but yeah, we've, even we're starting off with a new name. So let's, let's get the, let's get that far.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so so we are rebranding 1W3 to web hash because of communities not remembering the name. So so when I started 1W3, it was like it was like a testing product which I built. I was never serious about it like making it a big product and those stuff. So I had a domain called 1W3.com it's it's way any 1W3.com from 10 years with me. So I thought, ok, why can't, why don't I use that domain Then? Then I thought let me shorten it by digit 1W3.io, to make it easier for the community to use the product. But after seeing the traction, we became serious about it and started making it a proper product where community can build decentralized websites using using the tool.

Speaker 3:

But after meeting Ishmael, getting feedback from him. So the first one who first suggested me bro, you need to rebrand 1W3. A lot of people are getting confused with that name because of multiple digits from the name and it's kind of three words. You're thinking it's short name, but but it's three words like 1W and 3. So that is where we as a team started thinking what is the name? We need to change it. It should make sense and it should be easy for the community to remember and all those stuff. So that is how the name came into existence 1W3. I am. I was holding that name from 10 years, but now we thought, ok, it is getting some traction and we need to rebrand it in a better way, where we decided webhashcom will be the new name for 1W3.

Speaker 3:

And we'll be moving the no code decentralized website builder to 1Wthashcom or aka webhashe. Ok, so the thing is, 1w3 will still be there like an holding company, so 1W3 will become 1W3 Labs. The different products which you are building it will go under 1W3 Labs. Coming to my background, I am a builder from 2004. From my college days. I have built multiple products, like a video searching for mobiles into the 4, which became world's 45th position awarded by Opera browser in 2010 for mobile traffic. Then I built a product called backupmobilecom in 2010, when there was no iCloud and Google backup for mobiles. At that point of time we helped more than 100,000 users to backup more than 1 million contacts the technology which we built where it helps you to backup your contacts into cloud. Then, in 2012, we launched a product called w3layoutscom, so W3 is with me for a very long time. So that time, w3 means WWW. Now it has become Web3. So W3layouts became a success in 2014. It is a web template provider, open source platform where we have more than a million signed up users and more than 30 million downloads happened in that platform.

Speaker 3:

So my background for designs and web designing and website building comes from w3layoutscom, and in 2014, I ventured into a new startup called Fleximac, which was into IOT. So we built a solution which will help SolarPower Plant owners to optimize their assets. So we used to help the users to reach their ROAs in a cloudware where, from mobile, they can monitor their SolarPower plants, how much energy they have generated and, if they are not able to reach their ROAs, what are the scenarios causing them and how they can optimize their assets. So that is where my decentralization journey started, where I was looking for a technology where I can store the data which we are collecting from millions of sensors from the SolarPower plants and I want to forget about the data. I don't want to pay bills for the data which is being stored on some storage and it should be permanent and decentralized. That is where my journey started into the researching of blockchain based storage. So AVI was the first technology which I researched and I started building tools around it. Then I stumbled upon IPFS and those things.

Speaker 3:

How wonderfully started is, yeah, bull market gone, bear market was there. I was holding dot it and it is good to showcase dot it on Twitter handle. But other than that what I can do with my domain, so they call it ENS domain. So my understanding of domain from this more than a decade of experience in web technologies. So domain should be able to help build a website. So when you visit ENSdomains it says, yeah, you can, it is an address for your crypto transactions and it helps you to build a website on ENS. So that is where I started.

Speaker 3:

I tried to build a website for my name.

Speaker 3:

Then I understood there are a lot of technical stuff is involved in building a decentralized website, so it took some time for me to understand the things and connect a decentralized website to ENSdomains. So that is where I thought yeah, this is challenging for non-technical people, where for them it will be very difficult to build a decentralized website Without learning all these technical terms and they will end up giving up building a decentralized website Because everybody doesn't understand technology and everybody doesn't have time to do all this research and build a website. We need tools which will help users to build a website around ENSdomains, and the idea was everybody speaks about decentralized identity. What is the decentralized identity? Where is the identity stored? How you can showcase your identity? So that is where we thought we need the tool where you can showcase identity, where you will have freedom to showcase however you want. So initially we launched with a regular website builder. Then we put it into a link in bio, kind of a website builder. So now we are building multiple tools which we will speak through these spaces.

Speaker 2:

Yes, sir, we are going to get into it and yeah, you definitely have an extremely extensive technical background which I mean makes complete sense. You are continuously developing and innovating your platform, also kind of off topic, but on par with what you were saying earlier about the name change. So I agree, the name web hash is extremely attractive and I think will work well moving forward. I also do think 1W3 is a grail name for obvious reasons, but yeah, I can see how it may be a little difficult for people to kind of figure out what it means at first. Any barrier that you can remove for people to understand and start adopting and using something is best. Self kudos to you for that one.

Speaker 2:

I am going to get into some questions to kind of lay out exactly how this works and the part of plays in the ecosystem. Before I did, I did just want to reintroduce my co-hosts. Sometimes I forget to give the proper formal introduction. But, chris, if you want to go ahead and let everybody know about yourself and if you have any questions before I get into my next one, go for it.

Speaker 4:

Oh yeah, I'm not going to dive too much into an introduction. I really like where Hedaya is going with things. For those of you all who are not familiar, I am Chris. I'm the strategy director for Namertips and I have the privilege to take part in these wonderful tech talks and learn more about what's going on and where 3B be able to go ahead and contribute constructively to the discussion and, you know, helps steer where the narrative is going, you know, in the future.

Speaker 4:

But with respect to where you were going with things, hedaya, I actually like the fact that you have a technical background, but what you chose not to do consciously was to assume that everyone else would have that same technical background and experience, and I think that in Web 3, we tend to get a lot of super smart technical individuals, but they miss that part. That is so if you're going to onboard the masses, you have to first acknowledge that the masses don't really see technology through the lens that you do. So the fact that you're here with us today to have the discussion about a tool that you and your team has launched to make that barrier that you know people will have to cross into Web 3 or just the web in general, because a lot of people are learned this is through your platform and platforms that are similar in Web 3. And that's probably the first time that a lot of people really engage with the web, so that's why what you're doing is very exciting, so I just wanted to commend you on that.

Speaker 2:

Yes, sir, yes sir. And then also, before I get to this next round of questions, also acknowledge Ms Anna on stage, how you doing.

Speaker 6:

Good, thank you for having me up. Just you know, looking forward to the conversation and I actually did started. I did start building my own website because Flexster has been having those spaces with HID and it's actually like the thing, the amazing thing about 1W3, now WebHash is just how easy it is to use, like I've used, you know, the Web2 products like Shopify. I've used what are the ones like Squarespace, weebly, all of those things to build websites, and this one is at least on par with them, if not even easier, to use, and like the speed with which they update and the speed with which they, you know, innovate their platform is just like. To me that's amazing, and I guess Web3 is like that too. We're just we just move so much faster than Web2. So, yeah, just super excited to listen to this conversation.

Speaker 2:

We are definitely excited to have you here and look forward to any questions that you have. All right, let's start with the golden question For those who, like you said when you first became familiar with the term domains, most people associate that with Web2 websites. So, for those who may only be familiar with traditional websites and quote unquote Web2, what exactly is a decentralized website and why should anyone want one? Yes, can you hear me? Yeah, a little bit here, you get enough.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so, yes, decentralized websites. See, I'm building websites from like 2004 or something like that. So I have built a lot of websites, but if you, if you see, I don't have all those websites with me now because I forgot to pay the bills, I forgot to renew the domains, I forgot to take the backups. Okay, so it's lost, even my lot of my photos lost in cloud. Okay, because I used to use geocities at the time and there's some emails which I missed to take the backups. I don't know how to take the backups at the time, where to keep them, because there were floppy drives which will get damaged because of some magnetic issues and all those stuff. That is the challenge where decentralized technology is going to solve, decentralized storage is going to solve, and a lot of, a lot of pages get banned every day by ISPs, by, by Indian government bands, websites, every day. Okay, dancom is banned in India. Do you know that I cannot access Dancom without a proxy added to my browser? Okay, because they requested Dancom to remove some domains from their platform. They did not do that. That is the reason it has been banned in India. So I bought each dot CD from Dancom. Every time there's, when they send me an email. I need to have a proxy to check the email to to check what the message has been sent by Dancom, representative for the negotiations and all the stuff. So these are the problems.

Speaker 3:

Which is decentralized websites are going to solve. It's censorship resistant, immutable and permanent on the decentralized storage. So once you build the website, once a content hash been created, created for that particular website, nobody can delete it, nobody can edit it, nobody can tamper with it, nobody can ban it. Okay, so technically they said that they can ban it, but until or unless you have the content hash with you, which it's just a text. If you have that, you can access the content from different gateways. So gateways, gateways has the ones.

Speaker 3:

Which is webto technologies, which is going to help us to access the content from the decentralized torrents, because you cannot access the content with regular browsers and those stuff when it is stored on to decentralized storage. It is like, like, for example, how we used to use torrents Okay, torrents, you need a torrent client to access the content when, when you see something from the torrents, apps and and and those things. So, so these are the major issues which we are facing from from Devon of internet came into existence where censorship, banning content getting deleted by by the hosting providers, and if you don't pay bill, you skip, you forgot to pay the bill, you are traveling or something and you lost the content which you have generated to all the years. Okay, so these are the major issues which decentralized storages are going going to solve and and I feel in future, that option will be more by mainstream social media platforms or other platforms which is being built.

Speaker 3:

Like Instagram has announced they are going to integrate our web into their platform last year. Okay, so the where a photo which is being published on to Instagram, it will be there permanently onto the decentralized storage. Maybe Instagram can remove the content if they get a notice from the government entities or something, but still, if you hold the content hash of that particular image which you uploaded to the Instagram, you can access the content from the other gateways. So this is the problem which decentralized websites are, decentralized storages are decentralized technologies are going to solve for the future generations.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so I expected an answer.

Speaker 2:

I didn't expect that answer and I want to highlight it as well because this is a lot of us are very privileged for web three domains to be a novelty, right, like we're extremely privileged that for us, this is a collector's you know item that we're able to learn about the technology kind of at our own pace. But hearing about real world applications and solving like actual, real problems that I don't even relate like this is this is crazy and it sucks that that's the situation. But I'm really glad that you brought it up and I'm glad that you're here to speak on how you're, you know, building towards getting you know, getting past that, because now you know again. I think a lot of us are aren't aware that a lot of people have completely different problems that the blockchain is here to solve and it gives so much relevance, so much more relevance to the blockchain and so much more conviction that you know digital ID and all the tech being built behind it will thrive because it's solving real problems, it's not just a toy. Go for it, chris.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, I was. I was going to say that too. I'm glad that you highlighted privilege, because I think that, you know, in web three, we tend to assume, like you know, it is community based and we have the privilege to be in this together, but we also have to keep in mind that everyone is in their own respective parts of the world. They're in their own jurisdictions where different things apply and don't apply, and I just thought it was very unique that Hedaya brought up Dancom right and having to go ahead and have a proxy in order to engage with that platform. And what's unique about Dan is that it's a seller's platform for domains. So you know, basically, what Hedaya just said in a nutshell was that anyone that's in his jurisdiction or in many places throughout the world they're not able to get the best user experience engaging with that platform over just it.

Speaker 4:

Yes, so there's a solution, right, and I like the fact that Hedaya is here and he's acknowledging that there is a problem because on this side, especially in the way of two side of things, dancom is praised right, and Dan is actually owned by GoDaddy, right, so it speaks to how deeply seeded the issue is. So I'm interested to hear you know Hedaya's, take on how you solve this issue and then be able to have the privilege to consider what is what? What move is this going to force a GoDaddy to have to make? You get what I'm saying.

Speaker 3:

Yes, yes, see, with Web2 domains the problem is not going to solve, because every day they need to have a new domain if they want to solve the problem. Because governments are stubborn, they want to ban for silly things, they want to control over the internet. So this is the best way for them to control those things. But when you come to Web3 domains, that is where the problem is going to solve but the issues. There is an SEO issue added to it. We'll speak about it later. The SEO issue is about Web3 domains, if time is there.

Speaker 3:

But these problems can be solved with decentralized technologies. Like if you see, every time we hear that elimo, elimo. So why there is alimo added to ENS domains? Because that's a gateway which is helping the regular browsers to access the content. Okay, so if you want to avoid thelimo, you can use browsers like Braille browser or you can use 1WT's website resolver, so these kind of technologies will help you. So if, for example, that God forbid if limo gets banned, okay, so you can use LA. La is another gateway. Okay. Or you can uselink link to access the same website if different web to get this. So if, for example, if dancom is daneath, okay, so daneath can be accessed throughlimoli, orlink or install extension on your browser which will forward you to the decentralized link instead of accessing the content througheath. It will forward you to the IPFS. Ipfs is a storage technology, decentralized storage technology, or RV-link, so you will be directly taken to the link of the particular content hash where you can access the content in a decentralized way.

Speaker 3:

So we need these kind of technologies where you should be able to access the content not only in one way. You should be able to access the same content in different ways, with different gateways or technologies or browsers. So this is how you can solve this problem. If you say that, okay, you can access my platform with onlycom, dancom, then India doesn't have access to dancom. So, similar way, names. You've got banned one point of time, then they have to solve their problems and now we can access nameshift. So these problems are real, okay. So we think that, okay, these are the isolated issues.

Speaker 3:

If dancom is going to get banned in a country like India, where more than 1 billion people are there and you have to see the internet consumption in India, it's huge. And then the internet is cheap in India okay, and technology adoption is faster in India okay, but still, these things happens here, not only in India. Different parts of world happen. This kind of things happens. So we need technologies like this, where you should be able to access the content. If one thing is my dead band, there should be another thing which we can use it. Use to access it. So these technologies were there in before Web 3 came into existence, but it is restricted only to the techies, techie techies who are more into technology and all those things. Okay. So now the technology is getting matured because of the blockchain and those things, so it is going to get more easier over the years and people will understand how to access the content when it gets banned or restricted in different parts of the world Perfect.

Speaker 2:

That actually leads right into my next question and before I get started with that question, just want to welcome anybody who just came into the space to our Tech Talk AMA.

Speaker 2:

We have the pleasure of speaking with Hadiath, the founder of WebHash, formerly 1W3, a decentralized website builder, and, yeah, we are talking right now about the no code website builder and so, yeah, a couple things. So there's a lot of tech that's happening behind the scenes. As you said, we're talking about kind of the techie aspect, and that's the audience that previously, or that pretty much understands how this works, despite how much technology is behind the scenes and despite how technical this could be. You've developed your platform in particular to be extraordinarily user friendly. It's actually set up as a no code website builder. So one of the things that I wanted you to do for anybody who's listening and they're hearing the benefit but they think that there may be a technological barrier to entry can you walk us through how easy it is to actually get set up and deploy a website on WebHash? Also, can you tell us which naming protocols that WebHash is currently integrated with as well?

Speaker 3:

Yes, so whenever. So I have built multiple products over the years. When I started building the forest is when I feel there is a difficulty to access the content. When I speak about backup mobilecom, that was a problem which I was facing at that time in 2010, where we used to copy the contacts and SIM card and change the take the SIM card to other mobile and transfer the contacts to that mobile. That was a major issue at the time. So when I when we came to web three domains, the major issue is how can you build a website for the web three domain?

Speaker 3:

So web hash is totally no code. You don't have to write a single line of code. It's kind of a fix for web three or web flow for web three or web leaf for web three. So it is a product which is built for non tech people. Okay, so you don't know ABCD of technology, you don't have to worry about IPFS, you don't have to worry about RVV, you don't have to worry about even ENS adding a record to the your ENS name. So everything happens in the platform with few clicks, just few clicks, and we have templates on the platform where you can choose a template and start building around it. So once you click publish, the platform will take care of publishing it to that respective decentralized storages and you don't have to worry about what is the content hash and how to add this content hash to the ENS name. So once you publish, it will give you option of which domain you want to connect this website to. So once you click the connect button then it will last to pass the gas fees. So after paying the gas fees, your website will go live on on the ENS name. So there is not no, no technicality involved, just few clicks. Everything is easy to do.

Speaker 3:

Right now, more than 1500 users using our platform and built more than 2000 websites and more than 80 GB of IPFS has been consumed using our platform over one year. Okay, so we are. We are seeing more. There is going to be a big spike in this year and that is. I guess our community members can explain you how easy it is to build a decentralized website. And we are. We are doing some educational stuff because still users doesn't know they can build a website, they can build an identity on their web three domains.

Speaker 3:

Right now, coming back to the what kind of web? Three domains, web hash supports. Ens is our native supporting stuff in the platform. We started with ENS and we support ENS end to end, other than ENS. In our platform you can build a website for dot bnb, dot app and freedom. Okay, so three, so totally four different kind of web, three domains supported by web hash till now.

Speaker 3:

And and we are working with different blockchains. We are working with Shardium, we are working with dot FTM phantom domains. We are working with different domains. Because we have limited team, we are not able to integrate it in a faster way. But sure, we will be integrating all the blockchains into the platform. This will become a one stop solution to build a decentralized website for any web three domain. And still, if that, if our platform doesn't support adding a domain, adding a website to the domain, users can always build on our platform, copy the content hash, where we provide the content hash to the users, they can copy the content hash, they can go to the respective platforms and connect the website to the the other domains which are there, like phantom domains or any domains. Which is all. Even on dot btc, you can build a website using our platform. Build a website, copy the content hash, go to the dot btc platform and connect it to the domain.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so I love the fact that you already work for multiple naming systems and you plan on being a solution for all naming systems. Again, the. This solution is extremely popular currently on EMS, but I did want I asked that question on purpose Because I want everybody listening to know that if you, if you, like the solution again, I encourage you to join the community, but this is a solution that you can use to build your own decentralized website. You know wherever you happen to have your name. Also, I do want to give a shout out as well For those of you who are in the EMS ecosystem or want to get a head start on learning how to build. I see we've got flexter in the audience and, yeah, as you said, you've been doing multiple spaces build a thongs educational spaces, teaching people and encouraging people to learn how to build their websites on one W three and I know flex is many of you among this part of that.

Speaker 2:

So for those of you who are wanting to get a head start on that, be sure to tune into his daily spaces I know he's had plenty of those and then you can check out a schedule and see the next one that's coming up to help you learn how to build your website. So definitely want to give that shout out and so, yeah, so, moving past it, and also if anybody on the stage right now has any questions, feel free to put them in the chat. But in an ass. But yeah, go for it, chris.

Speaker 4:

Okay, so I die. So now we know the decentralization is important. We know a convenient way to create the websites and connect them with the names is important. You know a great user experience.

Speaker 4:

Have you, has your team given any thought to what approach it's going to take to combat potential misuse of the platform?

Speaker 4:

And, for lack of better words, what I mean is you know individuals who are you, who could use the technology not even just through your platform, but any platform that's offering something similar to promote messages, or you know content that is not necessarily the most positive or it may be infringing on someone's intellectual property rights? Now, the reason I ask that is you know, within every wonderful solution, there's always going to be a group of people who are fighting to find a problem right, and so, when we talk about decentralization and a site not being able to be pulled down, the first thing that just comes to mind for me is that people are going to. There are going to be some people who are going to naturally cry, file and say, hey, somebody use this platform to put up something that is either not it infringes on our company's intellectual property or is just promoting something that shouldn't be promoted. How are you guys, what steps are you all taking not to have to absorb that liability and to prevent things like that from happening on your platform?

Speaker 3:

Yes, that's, that's, that's a super question. Say, intellectual properties. We we are not concentrating on that part of the game because, once it is published to decentralize storages, we are not the owners of the technology or the content which is being published onto the decentralize storage. But when it comes to content like child pornography or terrorism and those things, yes, our team is building tools where, while the user is building a website, we are building some, we are taking the help of a technologies where it will trigger a notification to the player, to the community not community to the team that there is something which is being built which is not allowed to build using our platform and we will restrict the user access to that that particular user. So that is that is what we thought is the best solution to do it.

Speaker 3:

But still, as we say things, we are too early into it. We will be seeing some crazy stuff is going to happen using our platform or any platform onto the decentralize storages. So, yeah, we cannot restrict someone publishing content without any monitoring thing happens while it is getting built. So that is the we thought that is the best way to do monitoring while building. And it is not going to. It is not going to go again as the privacy and those stuff because it is it is.

Speaker 3:

It is platform which is going to monitor and and again, we are trying to build some architecture around it where these decisions can be taken in a decentralized way, where only our team should not be involved in taking decisions of giving access back to the user. There should be, there should be some group of people who will be voting against it, something like that. So we thought that is the best way which will keep up the those of decentralization and those stuff, but it will take some time. This is this is what we thought. There should be a tool which will be monitoring what users are building. If the tool thinks that this is there is an issue, but but it is not like Twitter or something where your account is got banned and nobody is there to reply and there's all the problem. Our team will be there actively responding to the users and I'm blocking the content if it is flagged by a mistake or something like that.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, that that's, that's you know, and I just want to highlight the fact that you guys are prepared for that.

Speaker 4:

It just it lets me know that you all are positioning yourself for true success, because there are a lot of builders who are building but they're not thinking about things from a company standpoint and liabilities and all of that.

Speaker 4:

And what a lot of people don't understand is that even in business, you might not necessarily be guilty of facilitating anything, but that does not mean that they there won't be a host of individuals who won't try to paint that narrative. So to hear that you guys are actively working towards instituting you know tools that are going to try to you know limit, because you know, realistically, you're not going to be able to eradicate it all, but as long as you have an indicator, a clear indicator in the very opening chapter, that this is not something that web has tolerates, and these are the steps that we're taking, I think that what you guys are going to do is you all are going to set the framework for others who come behind to say we need to do the same thing, and I think that that benefits web three. So I want to thank you for that.

Speaker 2:

And that was an amazing question, chris, and thank you very much for the answer. Yeah, definitely share Chris's feelings about. You know my bullishness and you guys already kind of being ahead of that and already having a process in place for before that. So you got your hands up on it, go for it.

Speaker 6:

Oh, okay, thank you. So I'm looking at the website. Webhash looks freaking amazing. Okay, it like I, even like I loved 1W3, but even this is even cooler and it's just, it's just so nice. I love it. But I had a question. So I saw those social media icons on there and then it said everything in one link, right, and that got me thinking, because we have talked a lot about decentralized social media and having one platform where you could, like, potentially sign into, you know, all of your social media and use it in one space. So I was just going to, you know, put out that question to you, hid. Is that something like? Would that be something that's possible? Like, let's say, you know, I don't really use anything besides for Twitter, but, let's say, sometimes I use Instagram. So, let's say, I sign into my Twitter. Would I be able to sign into my Twitter and my Instagram through my website and then be able to like, check it and like, do different things? Like, would I be able to use it? Things like that?

Speaker 3:

I don't know if that made sense, but yes, see, you should be able to showcase the content which is being published into different social medias Signing and those are not required because Instagram has its own app and all the functionalities are relevant on Instagram. So this is this platforms helps to build your decentralized identity using the content which is being published into the different platforms. Like you want to showcase your Instagram Reels on your decentralized website, you should be able to do that Because these platforms are popular. Now, that is the reason we have integrated all this. We have built all these blogs into the platform where you should be able to integrate Instagram, twitter, facebook, vymo, youtube, all those stuff. So in 2023, we built these blogs where all these web 2 social content should be able to integrated into decentralized website.

Speaker 3:

Other than that, we have blogs like the upload a video to this, your decentralized website. So once you upload a video which is being stored on a decentralized storage means your video is there permanently on to the decentralized storage and YouTube may take down your video. But once a video is published into decentralized storage, nobody can take it down. So we are building more tools where I guess we'll speak in next questions about how this content is going to help the users in monetizing and those stuff.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I was about to say you guys are setting it up, lining it up right. In order for me to get to the next one too, yeah, that's a perfect segue. So we went through the what a decentralized website is and kind of how easy it is to build it. So, yeah, now let's get into the how easy it is or how people will use it. So, once a person does create a freshly website on the webhash platform, what do you anticipate being some of the most popular uses with it? And, yeah, diving, diving further into the tools, as you were talking about. What tools do you currently have and are building to add even more utility and even monetization, as you mentioned, to users?

Speaker 3:

So right now we took three, as I told in the introduction. So we started with regular website builder. We had blogging templates. We had portfolio website builder. We had an interesting template called sell your domain, so where you can list your domain on to the decentralized website and decentralized websites help you to sell the web three domains using those templates. We had one template which is called link links template and the war two months. What we saw is 99% of the users were using only the link in bio template. So everybody is interested in building an identity using their web three domain that they were not interested in building the regular websites using those three domains. So then we understood, okay, we have to early into this. Now let us focus on helping the users to build a decentralized identity using their DNS names are, any way, three domains. So that is where we put the product in last year March and we build the entire platform where we took example of link tree. So whatever tools are available on link tree, we try to build everything onto one W3 where you can integrate everything onto your decentralized website.

Speaker 3:

You can integrate email collection form into the platform. You can integrate decentralized forms into the platform. We have integrated deforms where you can collect data. You can run risk or questions or anything using deforms, and not only deforms even web two forms can be integrated into the platform. Other than that, mostly every social media has been integrated, like even you can. You can have your Spotify playlist embedded into a decentralized website. You can upload content into the platform, like video, audio, pdf files and all those things. If you want your, for example, that you want your family photos to be stored permanently, okay, what you will do. You will be looking for technologies. You don't have to worry about that. Just come to a hash and start uploading your photos to the website. It is permanently stored on to this.

Speaker 3:

So right now the platform is free. You can use unlimited storage. We are not restricted anything. When we launch premium plans, those storages will be restricted and we are working with multiple vendors where 5GB of IPFS storage should be given to every user for free from those vendors. So we are we are we are working out with the partners how we can provide the storage and and if web hash is there or not there, you should be able to access the content via different mediums. That is what we are working towards. Like we should not restrict the users. So that is what decentralization says. The content should be worn by the user, not by the, but the platforms which is providing them to build the stuff. So we have the thought process from Devon, so we want the keys to be given to the users.

Speaker 3:

And coming back to what kind of websites you can build, right now you can build any kind of website using our platform. If you are a HTML designer, we have a blog called custom HTML blog where you can write CSS, javascript and HTML. And in last build we saw community has submitted games to the competition. They have built a game using our platform. So now also, we saw Shabad is there. Shabad has built multiple games and he submitted for the buildathon hash to, where we are trying to give away $1000 to the winners, whoever is building interesting websites, and we have eight judges. Anna is one of the judges in the buildathon and Millie is also one of the judges.

Speaker 3:

And, coming back to entertainment, we have Spotify, youtube, weimoo and all those things, and when you want to collect the data, we have forms collection and we have QR code stuff. Also, where you are in a conference, where you want to share your social media to the other users, there is one blog called share. You can use that blog. It will generate a QR code. You just have to click that blog and it will show the QR code and then and user can visit your website and go through all your social media and wherever he is comfortable, he can use that social media and get connected with you. We saw this, I saw this use case in one of the conference when someone was sharing the QR code. There I got the idea okay, we should have this blog where users should not say that I have domainst. They should just show the QR code. They will figure out how to reach out to I have domains. So we have a lot of stuff.

Speaker 3:

But in 2024 our focus is on Web 3 tools. We have done a lot of stuff on Web 2. So now we already developed forecast integration into the decentralized websites. So anybody who doesn't know forecast forecast is like Twitter for Web 3 people. So a lot of Ethereum community is there. On Forecaster, I guess a lot of people know about Lens protocol. Yeah, we have built a blog for Lens protocol also.

Speaker 3:

With that we are building tools where users can accept payments through crypto for the content which they have created, like, for example, take a content creator who has videos been produced where he want to token get the video. He don't want to accept the payments through fiat currency. He want to accept the payment through crypto where one to one payments happen. So there will be no middle man between the content creator and the content consumer. He will be directly paying in crypto to the content creator and he will be getting access to the content which they don't. He don't have to worry about losing the access to the content where the content is getting stored into our view or IPFS storages. So user is getting benefited because he will have access to the content permanently and the content creator is getting benefited by accepting the payment directly onto his wallet without paying any commission to the third party.

Speaker 3:

So, Webhash will not involve between the user and content creator. This is going to happen like P2P, pr2pr transaction. Payment will directly go to the content creator. So this is what we want to do in 2024, which is going to be like a great tool for content creators and whoever is dreaming about having publishing content and getting paid for their hard work. This tool is going to become a gateway for them.

Speaker 2:

Yeah. So this is first of all. That is a lot, and I'm looking forward to seeing everything that continues to be built and innovated with the platform. This is one of the super cool. There is the super cool thing about Build-a-Thons, and I want to once again encourage anybody, if you have the opportunity, to participate in any of them, because you're able to see all of these things kind of in real time being developed in front of you and all these new interesting ideas that may give you the idea for what you ultimately build.

Speaker 2:

I do want to bring it back, though, for those who aren't that creative. I can't stress enough how convenient it is even to just have something like a link tree handy if you're out and about and if you're going to conferences, if you're doing any networking or anything like that. I'm not a super technical person and that's the capacity of which I use, kind of my decentralized link tree on website, and it is convenient that people just scan a QR code and have all of your information there to glance and, like a Hedaya Fasang, you're able to tell your profile, to put a whole lot of information there and really create the narrative for what you represent, what you have to offer, especially when you don't have that much time to make a good first impression with people. Oftentimes it's just a hide. Your shaking hands scan this, reach out to me when you get back to where you're getting and you're able to put an entire story at their fingertips.

Speaker 2:

So don't not just the basic functionality of creating a decentralized link tree, it can do that and more. So I'm glad that you laid that out and again. For those who need that extra inspiration, I do encourage you to attend those buildathons and get in those communities that are building with WebHash formerly 1W3. And you're going to see 1W3 a lot around. So please just know that to interchange the two of them, go for it on it.

Speaker 6:

I just want to second what you just said. I was just thinking about this. We're talking about decentralized websites and I made one on one of the domains that I have. I made one in a hashtag New York.

Speaker 6:

But what you're saying about link tree having a website like a link tree type of website, where it's kind of like your resume, right, or if you're a content creator, it puts out all your links in one place NFTverse left.

Speaker 6:

But he's an example of somebody that I would like to see a link tree. Link tree because he has a AI art collection but it's so difficult from the X platform to find it I cannot even explain to you why, but I've tried so many times to find his art and because he has different collections, I can only go to the specific one of the link that I see. So having a link tree in your bio where you can go there and you can see all of your collections or whatever you're working on. We have spaces, so we have a link to our spaces, a link to our X account and whatever else we want to highlight. So I think probably everybody should, because we're all technically content creators here, right? Most of us here in these spaces are content creators, so we should all have one of those. That makes so much sense.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely Highlight your best videos, all that good stuff, yeah, so again I'm seconding your suggestion. I do think that everyone should look for that solution and I am glad that everyone is on this Tech Talk today to learn about one of the best that is out there. I wanted to ask you a question so for people who are, like I said, are hearing for this technology the first time again, a lot of people are familiar with Web 2 domains and the process there. A lot of people are familiar with just link tree in and of itself. I'm glad people are.

Speaker 2:

You know, for those who aren't familiar with the platform, I'm glad that you're hearing about these other solutions and how they could possibly end our poise to improve your life, both with technology ownership, all that good stuff On the kind of, on the what would you call it, the disclaimer side. I suppose you would say what are the current biggest benefits? Also, you know I want to talk about the benefits but also the limitations to Web 3 domains and decentralized websites, so that people know what not to expect, right. But then also, how do you plan to improve? You know both of those with the WebHash platform and the future moving forward.

Speaker 3:

The major challenge on Web 2 domains is Chrome kind of the popular browsers doesn't support Web 3 domains, that is. That is a major issue where people will face when they will be expecting okay, I'm going to build a decentralized website for Web 3 domain, but when I type that name on Chrome or Microsoft Edge, it doesn't take me to the website, right, it just shows a website cannot find, or it will take you to the Google search engine and those stuff. This, this is a question which a lot of people asked me when, when I pitched this idea to the Ethereum community when ETH India was happening in 2022. Yeah, you are building some great tool, but who is going to use it? Okay, how people are regular people are going to access the content. So one of the solution for that is adding dot limo to the DNS name, adding something to the like for BNB. We have built a gateway like limo so you can access the dot BNB websites using dot BNB. Dot QA. For ARB also, we built a gateway called ARB dot QA. So you need this kind of logo to get this to access the content.

Speaker 3:

Here you can install the extensions which are available. So right now, we have built an extension for the DNS names where Chrome by default supports DNS websites. Okay, and even same extension can be installed onto Edge browser, it will support resolving the website for DNS names. So, as we know, brave already supports. But who are not into Web 3? They don't know what is Brave browser. So Brave natively supports Web 3 domain. It supports unstoppable domain, it supports DNS and all those domains. So this is a major challenge. That is the reason we built an extension which should be able to help the Web 2 users to access the websites. Hopefully, in future maybe the popular domains like Chrome and Edge natively supports. We have to wait for that day to come. This is a major challenge. Other than this, I don't see any problem on Web 3 domains. Lot of benefits are there on Web 3 domains.

Speaker 3:

But if you ask me what is the biggest challenge, gasfis is the biggest challenge. When you come to the DNS names. Okay, see, no technology is going to see adoption until the GASFIS order list is hot. Okay, see, we can see more than 2.8 million DNS names are there. But when you see our community size, it is only 1500 users. When you see the count of unique wallets which are holding these DNS names, are more than 100,000 unique wallets, but why there are only 1500 users. That is what we are trying to figure out. Last year, the major problem is GASFIS. Okay, so we need to solve the GASFIS problem. If the GASFIS problem is solved, then these technologies will go mainstream. And then when this people, lot of people says we have to onboard 1 billion users onto Web 3. No, it is not going to happen until the GASFIS problem is solved.

Speaker 3:

Okay, gasfis problem should be solved and transactions should be like keep R0, make it 0. Okay For building something. It should not be like you have to pay a lot of dollars to make something which is visible. No, yeah, for financial transactions, I can agree, but for using a technology, you should not pay taxes for that. Okay, so we need to solve this problem. Until this problem is not solved, mass adoption is not going to happen.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I definitely agree with that, that in conjunction with UI, as you said. I mean people need easier ways to access Web 3 and it doesn't need to be a technological circus, nor does it need to be a guessing game on how much the transaction is going to cost in any given moment. And I want to commend you for the way that you're building is obvious that you're thinking about the ecosystem and whole your you know, and there's nothing wrong with people building specifically for certain ecosystems, because, I mean, we need those builders too. So a lot of the tools that you're building improves the ecosystem as a whole. And I'm saying that because there's a vested interest in everyone, you know, I feel, to pay attention and support where they can.

Speaker 2:

And that kind of brings me to my last question, as we start to wrap this up and I'm going to get to Chris right after I ask this question but a big thing that I want you to put out there, because I know that you've been doing a lot of building, as you said, your building bridges to help, you know, make these domains more accessible and went to as we continue to advance the tech. How can we, as the greater community, do more to help support your endeavors so that we can help improve and move that development forward that you know probably again will benefit all of us. I know that you have applied for certain things like the grants and the E&S ecosystem. So, yeah, tell us how we can do more to community to help support with you your building endeavors.

Speaker 3:

Yes, you can help me in different ways you can. You can all put people onto the platform. You can help us connecting with investors, and you can help in different ways. And while speaking about the support which Webhash is going to give, we are not restricted only to Web3 domains. Let me announce it Okay, so you can build a decentralized website for regular dot com and dot net domains also. Okay, we have technology which we are not made live on the platform. If you request us, we can connect this decentralized website to your dot com domain also, which we already did for one of the community member where we have, we have connected a decentralized website to our website domain.

Speaker 3:

Okay, so this is going to happen. It is going to go live this year, where this is the dream. We have to onboard every WordPress user on our platform where they can import their WordPress website into decentralized storages. Forget about maintenance, forget about monthly bills, forget about censorship. That website should be permanent. Okay, maybe your Web2 domain may get banned. Next day you can pop up with another domain. So this is going to happen. So everything is ready. We have to make it live onto the platform, but anybody who wants to connect their decentralized website to regular Web2 domains. We are there, just DM me Once you build a website. If you let us know the idea of the website or the content hash of the site IPFS content hash we can connect it to your Web2 domain. You need to add a CNAME to the domains so that we can validate. Okay, this domain is, you are the owner of the domain. So that is the way Web2 validation happens. Yes, this is a big announcement where Web2 domains can have a decentralized website. It is not restricted only to Web3 domains.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I can see a lot of people utilizing that benefit and, yeah, just to reiterate to everybody support your system builders in any way that you can. If you belong to ecosystems where you can vote on helping these builders get the funds that they need to build, please step and do so. If you got your DNS cards, please use them. Definitely want to encourage everybody to step up where you can and help these platforms continue to build, because they are building for you. Go for it, chris.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, I'm glad that you just ended with that building for you, because that's really important, right? You hear me bring it up from time to time that people bring up this onboarding, this mass onboarding, but there are people who don't. They don't outwardly seem to be building to accommodate that mass onboarding. And so to hear Hadiah go into, I mean and he was very straightforward and that's why I value the candidness, because he stated it outright Like you know, if the gas fees don't get resolved, then we're not going to see that adoption, so we have to get the gas fees taken care of. And that is a builder that's not only speaking from the stance of the team that he's building with, but also the people that they're clearly building for. Right, it goes hand in hand. So now you know.

Speaker 4:

My final question for you, hadiah, is this so, being that you just made the announcement that you're able, you're going to be able, to connect web to domains, to the centralized websites, which is a great development.

Speaker 4:

By the way, I have this question you referenced WordPress how much consideration have you guys given to the more popular website builders that are on the web to side and, if anything, how much?

Speaker 4:

How many of the key elements of those platforms. Have you all allowed to inspire the way that you all do things? Like case in point, you know, and visiting the, the one W3 website, which is also the web hash website, I noticed that you guys have a mobile phone there by default and I sat there and said, oh, that's unique that you don't see a desktop version. Right, because on some of the website builders in the web to sector, they'll give you that desktop and that mobile. You'll be able to toggle between the two. Or there are some platforms now that allow you to do drag and dropping of the design and then you can export your code and things of that nature. So, with all of those things happening in the web to you know, website designing sector, what things have you drawn from that and how does that inspire the way that you guys are going to move forward with your offerings?

Speaker 3:

Yeah. So why mobile preview is there by default? Because this is a link in bio builder, so that space is enough for us to show the preview. When we launch this regular website builder, it will have the similar view as, like a Webflow. Wixcom shows like it will have different options where you can see the preview between web, a tab or a mobile and those things and other than that when I was speaking about WordPress. So we are building a blogging platform where we are building tools where you can import your WordPress website entirely onto the decentralized storage, not only WordPress, even Substack, mirrorxyz or ourmediumcom, so all these blogs which you have worked for the years to produce the content can be imported into decentralized storage. So the plan is like if you are using the editor, you are going to pay for the platform.

Speaker 3:

If you are not, using the editor, then you are not going to pay any monthly subscription fees for the platform, because decentralized storage doesn't ask you money every month. So once you store it, it will be there for life. So only thing you will be paying. If we launch subscription models, then the model will work something like this, where if you are using the platform to edit the content, then you will be paying for the platform. So this is what we are envisioning, where the content which see because I personally face these problems in past like we build something where we forgot about it, we lost the track. We thought that it will be there, it will get popularity, users will be using the platform and those stuff, but all the time you forget about it. Are you going to some job or some venture where you don't want to pursue that actively look into it and you will forget about it and you will lose the content which you have generated over the years. So that problem is the major issue which decentralized storage is going to solve and it is big problem. It is not small problem. For example, in last space, flexiva was saying I want to build my family tree which should be there for generations, where my next generations can see who is my great grandfather, what he achieved, what he did in past. Forget about that.

Speaker 3:

There is another use case where, okay, you created a platform where it generates revenue through that platform and you are not there. Your next generations came. If that platform is there and if users are there for the platform, they will be paying for the services which is being. They will be paying for the content which is there in that website. If that website leaves there for another 1000 years, all the generations who is coming over 1000 years, they will be getting benefited from that content which is being produced by great, great, great grandfather. And yeah, there is a catch that they should have access to the wallet. It can be transferred. It is not a bank where you need to get approval from banks and courts and those stuff. It's just a secret key. If you pass on the secret key to your next generation, they can enjoy the fruits which is being produced by that decentralized website.

Speaker 2:

We've had quite a few spaces where we've touched on the benefits of publishing decentralized content, the potential benefits not only from the copyright perspective but, like I said, the infinite income generation generating perspective, being able to control access to smart. I mean we can go on all days about the benefits of being able to publish on the blockchain and, yeah, you've created an easy solution for people to get involved and get started doing that. So I do definitely encourage everybody to visit webhashcom. It is a very nicely built website so it will definitely impress you while you're on there. But get connected, start learning about what you can build on it, start building, start experiencing all those benefits that come with it.

Speaker 2:

Again, even if it's something that's centralized, simple as setting up the link tree, there's humongous benefit in that, all the way to publishing all of your content and using it. Like I said, it's a place to store that valuable content for generations to come and start to build and utilize and use it. So, yeah, I'm sad that Priyanka just got off the stage because I was going to ask her if she had any questions, but before we kind of get to wrapping it up and go to the final words, I do want to give Chris or Anna a chance to ask any final questions, if you have any. You want to go ahead Anna.

Speaker 2:

Go for it, sir.

Speaker 4:

Okay, well, I don't have any questions. I think that Adyoth has done a great job. I think that you know he sealed the envelope when he talked about being able to bring content over from other websites, because I mean from other platforms, because it's almost like an upgrade. Well, no, it's not almost like an upgrade. It is an upgrade, right.

Speaker 4:

I think that in the Web 3 space, there's an emphasis on building, right, but there's not as much of an emphasis on creating. Creating is an extension of creativity. Creativity tends to come from artists, right, so you have to be able to connect with the artists and the creatives, and many of them invest time and energy not only creating their work but also finding the forms through which they want to showcase their work and, in the process, what they do is that they build up this loyalty to these platforms, right, they get these subscriptions like you don't know how many artists that I've come across and they might not have the greatest websites, but you can't tell them that they don't have the greatest websites, especially if they put their time into putting it together. Like there's all of these heels and loops that you have to go through to get it set up and what I finally do you're like okay, this is my website, even if I have to go ahead and pay monthly for the rest of my life in order to maintain it, it's mine. But with a platform like WebHash, you cannot not only transfer your site, right, but you can also enhance the content that you're bringing to the platform. It's already. You know it's on the blockchain, right? It's there, so it's not going where it's permanent, and I think that that's a benefit.

Speaker 4:

As time goes on, many creatives existing and the new ones they're going to learn that that's the way to go. That's the way to preserve your creative legacy. That's the way to ensure that not only do you get the benefit from your work, but also those that come after you, those who may be relatives of yours, friends, supporters, whatever there's. Just, the possibilities are endless, but I just I want to tip my hat to you, hadeeth, and your team, because a lot of people don't. They don't give creative endeavors the respect that they deserve all of the time. So I thank you all for taking time out of your technical schedules, your lives and all of those other wonderful things and saying, hey, let's put something together where the everyday person can be in and they can be secure in what it is that they compose and create and transfer, and they can have peace of mind knowing they're going into this next chapter it is Web 3 in the blockchain that they're not just coming in bare bones and they don't have any support. So I thank you guys for that.

Speaker 2:

Yes sir, yes sir, and I also would like to thank Hadeeth for coming and doing this AMA. Like I said, I'm very glad to finally get you on the stage. I remember first hearing about the platform during one of our free name spaces and I hopped on right then because the concept immediately made sense to me. So glad to see that you have built an amazing product since then that is gaining the popularity that it deserves. I hope it continues to build and people continue to use it and it continues to be the example of what we can do with our Web 3 domain names. Before we close up, I wanted to see if you've got any last alpha to leave us with and especially, let everybody know how they can get started and connect with you so they can start building their first Web 3 website.

Speaker 3:

Yes, see, we have an option in the platform where anybody can convert their decentralized website into an NFT, and it's kind of, if you know, theme forest or platforms like theme forest where people will trade templates. So this works in a similar way where, once you build a website, you can convert it into a template and you can fix a price for the template, which happens in a decentralized way I'm speaking decentralized a lot of times and using the term a lot of times, but still okay so where you can trade your decentralized website as an NFT and you can fix price for it, you can fix collection size of the template and other users who likes those designs they can use the template and start building their website around it. Right now we have four templates on the platform which has been built by our community members, and Millie Eth is one of the popular template. Tope is the template name which has been minted more than 120 times till now, and we have some interesting templates. We waited for a long time so that let community build the templates.

Speaker 3:

Now we'll be going to launch some templates which has been built by our team. We want to encourage the users to generate revenue using our platform, not only through content publishing or something like that. Even if you have design skills, use our platform, build some interesting designs and list it as a template in the platform. If some other users likes it, they can buy it through OpenSea or mint it through our platform and start building around it. That is an interesting concept where we want to generate a revenue mechanism around our platform. It's not only building a website for yourself. It will become a revenue generated for you.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I am glad that you just mentioned that as well. For those of you who are listening that do have those design skills and you happen to whip up a template that you feel the whole world would want, there is an opportunity to put those skills to use and monetize, as you said, your templates, the ones that currently exist. If you like, those are currently available on OpenSea, on the secondary as well. Yeah, definitely encourage everybody If you like what you heard. Like I said, join the community directly. There are plenty of opportunities to get inspired by design and to learn more about 1W3. There are a lot of people in the E&S community that you are constantly active on their spaces and very open to helping people get started. Thank you very much again for your time, for coming on here Again. It's an honor to start the new year off with the first AMA about how to use your actual Web3 domain. So, yeah, there are no excuse for everybody to start getting started and putting them to use. So yeah, with that being said, I would like to thank every single one of you for attending another iHeartDomains Tech Talk AMA. I would like to thank Diath with WebHash, aka and formerly 1W3. I would like to thank Chris with Namertips, everybody else who came up on the stage Again.

Speaker 2:

For those of you who want to listen back to this, you can do so easily here on Twitter, if you can find the link, or you can go to our content archive at iHeartDomainscom, where we will create a blog post summary of this and we'll have it available for you to listen on the site as well as on any major podcast player, and you'll be able to find that at techtalkos. We are doing one more AMA this week on Friday. That is actually going to be with Xosat, so we're going to deep dive into Sat's names. So, for those of you who have been wondering what thesats do, I'm very excited to get into that ecosystem and provide some more education there. Thank you, guys all for being here. Thank you everyone on the stage once again, especially to you and Diath. I look forward to talking to everybody and seeing everybody again on Friday. Until then, hope you have a blessed and wonderful week and stay bullish on Web3.
