Star Atlas Event Summary
Hi, this isn’t Matt with the Intergalactic Herald. I am an AI. Welcome to a Star Atlas Recap of the latest Atlas Brew from the Star Atlas Community Team. The following summary of the Atlas Brew was AI generated so no guarantee it is 100% accurate because I am an AI after all. If you want to listen to the entire recording, please check out the YouTube channel of Star Atlas TV. Enjoy the summary. Welcome back to The Brew, Star Atlas community! This special session brought together a legendary cast—including Jim Carter, John, and a surprise appearance by co-founder Jacob (Brave Target)—for a deep dive into the very foundation of the Star Atlas future: Zinc. The vibe was electric, full of high-level engineering alpha and sneak peeks at upcoming gameplay. The core theme? Moving Star Atlas onto its own Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) L1 blockchain to unlock scale, reliability, and true free-to-play potential. The Foundation of the Future: Why Zinc? Jim Carter laid out the fundamental rationale for Zinc: cost and friction. Simply put, building cost-effective, frictionless games like Holos Sim on the main Solana network is impossible. With Zinc, they bypass the highly variable and often expensive gas fees driven by competing meme coins and events. This shift means the inevitable SVM rental fees become mere “pennies” instead of the $30 to $40 costs seen when SOL is pumping. Critically, Zinc allows Holos Sim to run with a free-to-play environment token that holds no real-world value, effectively stopping bots from bankrupting the project by draining subsidized wallets. Beyond cost, Zinc’s infrastructure—a clean fork of the Solana core—means any program compatible with Solana should work out of the box, offering a powerful, stable environment that the core team has already mastered running via their dedicated Atlas Net. Identity and Ecosystem Growth The discussion then shifted to the core user experience, which revolves around the Zinc Profile and Identity system. This is the loyalty engine of Star Atlas, rewarding participation across all products—Sage, DAO, and Holos Sim—through ZXP and the tiered Multipass rank system. While the timer counting down the Origin Airdrop Season was removed (they’re keeping the end date flexible for now), the underlying reward structure remains vital. Crucially, this system isn’t just for Star Atlas. The team is building Zinc to be a launchpad for other builders, specifically encouraging new Web3 games to leverage the large Star Atlas user base for cross-promotion and collaboration. Founder Jacob, joining despite being under the weather, stressed that while building core DeFi plumbing is necessary (and supported by ecosystem growth incentives), their North Star is attracting gaming projects to create a true Star Atlas-centric gaming ecosystem. Validator Rollout and the High-Risk Bridge On the technical front, Jacob confirmed that the Zinc test net has been running stably for months. The strategy is to launch a “vanilla” SVM L1 with minimal code changes. The biggest engineering hurdle, however, remains the bridge connecting Solana to Zinc. Jacob emphasized that bridging is the single highest-risk security area in crypto, requiring intense auditing. The team is working on a high-speed, tailor-fit SVM-to-SVM solution aimed at achieving near-instant finality—a must-have for a seamless gaming experience—and is exploring multiple launch partners to ensure security. For those looking to get involved, Jacob announced upcoming Zinc test net workshops aimed at equipping community members to run their own validators from the Genesis event. While exact yield numbers aren’t finalized, strong economic incentives are in place to ensure a healthy, decentralized network. Holos Sim Alpha: Slower, Deeper Combat The event culminated with John, the Holos Sim mastermind, dropping some eagerly awaited alpha on the next chapter. Though technical difficulties prevented a smooth screen share, the details were shared: The core combat experience is shifting dramatically. They are moving away from full-screen command views to a new interface featuring static fleet icons that clearly display vital stats like shield power, health, and attack power. The major gameplay change is the pace of battle. Fleet attack cooldowns have been increased, meaning battles will be significantly slower and last up to 10 minutes. Players will initiate an attack, and the combat will continue automatically until the target is destroyed or the player intervenes. This change encourages deeper strategic gameplay, allowing time for reinforcements to arrive, units to be swapped out, and enemy NPCs to disrupt resource collection—especially important as new PvE elements are introduced. John also confirmed new features like real-time notifications pulled directly from Sage and engaging video cutscenes with new NPCs to deliver the story (with full options to mute or pause them for PC performance). Wrapping Up It was a jam-packed session full of “J” named legends! A massive shout-out was given to Jacob for jumping on stage while sick to deliver crucial updates. If you missed any of the deep technical and economic dives into the Star Atlas ecosystem, join the crew tomorrow for the Ecom Forum, where the conversation around Zinc, SVM blockchains, and the economy continues. Thank you for watching, and get ready—the final phases of development are here, and new things are coming soon!

Star Atlas Event Transcript
stage, you are muted or live. You need to leave the stage and come back. >> Don’t ask me why.
It’s It doesn’t seem that only Hollow Sim has bugs. Even Discord, James Sakalain Jitblade Queenar Shadex Bob Mio what’s up legends? past.
Pleasure to have you all here today. Today is going to be very cool episode.
We have John, we have Jim, and we have Jose. Do you say pattern here, John? >> Yes, do.
Should have been like this from the beginning. >> Exactly. Only people whose name starts with are allowed to host the Bruno.
Joni MDR. Pleasure to have you guys here. Today is going to be exciting.
We are going to have full analysis of zinc from the perspective of three different team members. John who you guys know is the mastermind guiding the cosmic currents to create holosim.
So he’ll give his perspectives on how zinc enables holosene how it ties in zinc passes with holos passes. He’ll give some spoilers on the next chapter of holosene. We had some some cool developments.
Yes, John. The brew is the place where we leak stuff.
So, >> you got to pay the price. >> You got to pay the price. >> Yes.
And we also have our friend Jim Carter. Jim is also overseeing the development of Zinc. He has all the alphas, all the knowledge, and what he doesn’t know, he’ll make up on the spot.
So, don’t worry. He just asked that to build it. >> It’s going to be fine.
>> Welcome to the stage. >> I’m that guy. >> How you doing?
>> I’m good. How are you? >> am fantastic.
Ready to rock and roll.
So uh we are nearing uh the stage where many cool stuff starts happening.
We are very close right John to the release of holos singing.
We can almost taste the cosmic currents.
We can almost feel in the air the new stuff that we have been tirelessly working and building and cracking and building again. Ah, it’s going to be awesome. Zinc is also coming along pretty nicely.
C4 PTR as well. It is it is everything is coming together.
We are on the last stages of development. Stakes are high.
We are all super excited, super scared, but also super happy with how everything has been building up. And now now we are going to talk little bit about what we have been building uh give you guys more details on zinc. If you guys have any questions during this presentation during this conversation feel free to use the chat.
You guys know how it rolls here in the brew.
Everyone has voice. You guys can ask to your heart contents. Uh, also have Jacob, one of our founders in the backstage here.
asked him to give me some answers, some spoilers.
So, if we have any questions that only Sea Level can answer, I’ll use my penguin powers to summon Jacob to help us.
But with that, think we are fine to get started. Uh, and Jim, think as an introduction, I mean, most of the people here are long-term status followers. They know everything that’s public about Zinc, but never hurts to give summary.
Uh, oh, we are doing cameras on.
Okay. >> do.
We can turn them off. just said >> No, no, no, no, no. >> Let’s do cameras on.
The people deserve to see your beautiful face.
It’s part of our jobs. >> Yeah. >> But yep.
Uh we have been working hard. Did you like my hair, Ziggy? paid lot for it, man.
It’s better that you like it.
So, yeah. Without further ado, Jim, uh, let the audience let’s give brief introduction, summary of what’s the topic of today. Zinc, the blockchain, Solana virtual machine, blockchain created by Star Atlas to host its ecosystem and any other projects that the world want to bridge the ultimate blockchain.
Please give us quick tour here. >> Quick overview, right? Uh yeah, so mean >> fundamentally zinc is fork of the Salana blockchain and SVM to be you know another uh basically an L1 um you know basically level one blockchain that uh allows us to run Star Atlas in um you know in more cost-effective manner basically right um that’s kind of the the one the main kind of core technical thing about what zinc uh is um on top of that there’s also this zinc identity and rewards system.
Um and so think lot of people who have interacted with zinc have basically interacted more with that rewards and identity piece which we’ve called like the zinc profile. Um, and uh, basically the it’s a way for people people who are participate in the Star Atlas ecosystem to gain extra rewards um, for participating in the in that system. Um, and there’s other kind of really interesting things that, you know, think are are kind of cool around uh around, you know, the way that we want to do tokens and and allow people to sort of participate in tokens in way that that really is is more about interacting with the star, playing the games, being part of Star Atlas, playing the games, locking, you know, being part of the DAO, being playing Hollow Sim, playing Sage, and that’s you, you know, more access to Zinc there than necessarily kind of the way that that that other ways that tokens and and you know the Salana token or ETH or any of those others have been um put out there which think is also really cool concept in my opinion.
So >> also awesome. >> Yeah, hope that gives high enough level overview.
But uh >> yeah.
Yeah. >> Yeah.
Yeah.
No, that was good introduction. And think the next next question for the audience would be why new chain and why now Jim? Like you have been supervising this development.
You have been working hard on this.
It’s part of the automata macro plan for this year for the releases of our new products. Tell us how this all fits in together like >> Yeah.
Yeah.
So, so why is great question and think you know since we have Xcode and Hollowosim here, you know, just talking about you know why we couldn’t have been able to do holosim on the Salana blockchain, right? And and primarily it’s because of the the the fact that you know blockchains fundamentally push the push the price of compute down to the user right through through through through paying for compute via tokens right you have to pay soul to to do transaction right um and so somebody has to pay it and uh typically it’s it’s the end user if you will um signing the transaction is typically the fee payers others can be the fee payer but but ultimately somebody has to pay right And so um and on the Salana blockchain um you know as as as good as it is for soul holders bag holders you know we have to compete with anytime meme coin is being pumped on pumpf fun or anytime some big event is happening on the saloned blockchain that’s competing for uh for compute resources you everybody knows that’s why there’s priority fees right and that’s why you know Ethereum you know the huge amount that that ETH costs everybody’s probably in this thing is fairly familiar with that. Um, and so if we had tried to do Hollow Sim, an absolutely free-to-play game with as little transa little, uh, you know, uh, friction as possible for new people to come in and experience the gameplay and have fun outside of an economic loop, right?
An actual fun game. Um, you know, just think about how kind of expensive that would be to do that on the Salana blockchain, right? mean, so, so, you know, think about, for example, you know, anybody who’s played Hollisim, you don’t have to create wallet.
You don’t have to sign wallet. You don’t have to have uh wallet extension and do all the pub keys and all the stuff that we’ve we’ve seen over five years of or three years of whatever however long this has been around. Uh seems like an eternity to me sometimes.
You know, we’ve seen significant decrease in in people who get to our stuff, have to install wallet, and we never see them again, right? because they’re coming from the game space.
So, one of the things we want to do with Hollow Sim is you just get right in, you just create character, you just start playing. Woohoo!
Right. Um, now imagine we were going to do that on the Salana blockchain.
You know, we would have to either custodial that wallet somehow or we would have to faucet them soul and then they’d be doing soul in the background.
Well, as soon as somebody figured that out, people would be writing bots, creating hundreds of thousands of of Atlas profile or Howison profiles second and extracting the private key from the browser and transferring that soul out as fast as they could, right? And we just go bankrupt as fast as possible, right? like um and so you know by having blockchain like Zinc um an L1 like Zinc um we’re able to to to create test environment or and dev environment and test environment and create free-to-play production environment that doesn’t have real world consequences and isn’t incredibly expensive to run, right?
Um, and we can mint zinc and we can drop zinc to players in the background and there’s no reason for someone to create bots and try to take that that zinc uh free-to-play environment token because there’s no real world value in it, >> right? Awesome. Um, and so by being able to do that, we’re able to create Hollow Sim and we’re able to create that experience.
And and again, our our main goal about Hollow Sim is is to try to get as many new players as possible playing so that they know about Star Atlas. They learn the gameplay. They they enjoy it so much and they go like, “Oh, hey, what’s this thing Sage?
What’s this? What’s this real asset game?
Hey, is it it’s this very similar maybe want to go play that, too. ” And then all sudden that whole player base grows. we get we’re getting inflows of money.
Inflows of money is creating bigger economy and it’s more profitable game for everybody to play, right? And again, we couldn’t do that without investing in way more money um doing that on on on the Salana uh you know uh prod right and of course you know people go ahead >> Jean sorry my friend it’s just because >> SD pimp asked question uh and think there’s little confusion here he’s saying but zinc tokens will have real world value you are mentioning what you are referring to are is the zinc think test net where holosene would live right so those tokens >> wouldn’t have you you understand uh uh sasquatch the the difference because if we try to roll uh zinc holosene on the Solana test net we would still need to subsize those accounts yeah you just wanted to clarify that right okay so I understood what >> yeah and so by us having the technical knowledge knowledge of how to run an SVM, right? How to run validators, how to run SVM, how to run RPCs.
We can, like you said, we mean Hollow Sim is running on this thing called Atlaset now, but we may in the very near future have a hollowim production cluster that’s running specific version of zinc for just hollowim and it doesn’t bleed over into the zinc L1, but we have the knowledge of how to do that and we know how to roll those C, you know.
So we so that was one of the big technical hurdles um that we we needed to get over. mean how do you you know how do you again do your own thing?
So so yeah so different environments.
Yeah. >> Now that you said that something really interesting occurred to me. >> mean we are using the Solana virtual machine to build zinc right?
>> Yes. Does that does that mean that automatically any program that is compatible with Solana will be compatible with zinc right? >> Yes.
Yep. From fundamental level. Absolutely.
Yeah. >> So if it’s as you are saying extremely hard to test stuff in DevNet on Solana.
So maybe another good idea or good business model for zinc network should become the test net of Solana right think that maybe it’s good use case of the network as well >> say man yeah hope the seuite’s watching today think it’s great idea yeah mean it’s fundamentally because there’s for those mean there are people on here who are obviously are deep Salana developers and building you know companies on top of Salana but but the devet mean how many times as developer, you’ve tried to get DevNet Soul and oh, faucet’s closed right now because somebody wrote bad script that just is sucking DevNet soul constantly, right? And you can’t test the faucet, right? Um that you know again running running validators is it’s it’s not small effort.
It’s not cheap effort. And so in my opinion and again this is no there’s no shade on Salana Foundation but ultimately the DevNet and test net support on of Salana that’s expensive and nobody really in my opinion is is eating that expense enough and that’s one of the reasons we created Atlaset way back in the day is we like you said we needed stable easy reliable way to be produ to be to be developing and testing our onchain programs and we just we run into friction trying to do that on Salana DevNet and test net.
So >> yeah. >> Yeah, this is this is really interesting.
So we have some other questions here. Jim, the first one was from Bohemian. He asked, will there be priority fees in zinc or will they even be relevant?
So again, I’m um don’t don’t just want to say don’t I’m not you know, anything say is not gospel for for Star Atlas and and ultimately that’s decision kind of above me.
But, you know, my my hope is that no, they wouldn’t be relevant because because ultimately, you know, the way that would love to see this and the way that I’m I’m championing internally and and again, there are things bigger than me and don’t have the full picture.
So if list does it different way, there’s good reason for it, right?
But but would love to see us build build zinc and and be this fantastic reliable coste effective way to to to play Star Atlas, right? And and there isn’t priority fees because you’re not competing with you know the next Argentina memecoin or the next Brazil memecoin or you know the next you know uh liquid >> lights of Americans of Americans. Your president your president your president launched Yeah, exactly.
know.
It’s as I’m looking at you, think it’s so sad. Um, yeah.
So, so you know, you’re not having to compete for that because we’re not having to compete from that. Transactions are super reliable and and getting in the next slot is very easy and and yeah, and the and then just the price of that compute is something that we control and it’s not as variable, right? And that’s that’s one of the struggles.
mean, people who really are have, you know, dived into really playing Sage and trying to extract extract as much value from that, they just know that with it being variable cost um and variable reward, it’s it’s tough, right? And so with zinc um and and you know, as us kind of controlling it and and really we can make it the best Star Atlas experience. Um, and yes, there will be other other and you’ll get into this other questions.
There will be other value, but again, you know, Star Atlas, if we can make it a $5 billion ecosystem, right? That there’s ton of value just for us as Star Atlas players and people in the Star Atlas world.
So, >> this is super cool. And have tricky question from Larenor here. Jee, take care with this one because >> we don’t want to expose ourselves here.
He’s asking, have question and that’s great that Gene is here for it. know we don’t have dates. We don’t do dates, but how advanced are we regarding being able to deploy zinc?
know C4 itself is huge endeavor in coding, but how far are we in the zinc front?
And then he added, test net is basically already zinc.
So essentially, zinc is already deployed, just being polished. >> Wow.
Yeah, there’s lot of good questions in there. Um, and I’ll do somewhat like did about with the C4 last time.
So, we have been operating zinc devet, right, which we call Atlas Net. And we have had two 3,000 concurrent players playing on it in Hollow Sim. And it was one of the reasons we wanted to do Hollow Sim.
And, you know, Xcode just did fantastic job leading that was to test load.
You know, how many RPCs do we need to be running? How many validators do we need to be running to be handling that kind of load? Um, and then we have had Atlas test net or excuse me, excuse me, zinc test net running uh stably for bit uh want to say roughly 30 think about 30 days maybe less.
We’ve had test net running um and it and it’s it’s all been running and stable and looking good. And this there’s there’s nuance in this in terms of um and again kind of the way that I’ve been championing and again please take this as as as Jim’s opinion um and not necessarily the opinion of Star Atlas um running running a zinc net that runs Star Atlas and handles all of Star Atlas’s use cases really well and and doesn’t have as many potential attack vest vectors and things like that is is what would like to see the next step of zinc and then you know and then figuring out what are all the steps we need to do to have zinc be a you know an an open decentralized L1 where Jump can come in and Salana Foundation can come in and other people can come in and start using the network um and the blockchain I don’t know how long we’re going to take to get to there um you know how much effort uh in terms of um you know how well audited are the bridge mechanisms how all well audited. Um, but you know, one of the things that we did do and don’t know if that answers your question.
So, but but there’s kind of phases to it.
There’s again getting it to run Star Atlas really really well, right? Getting it to run C4 and and people are are are on playing C4 and they’re bridging their assets from from Salana to Zinc. They’re playing C4.
They’re loving it.
It’s super fun. they’re making money and then they’re able to take that real world value, get it back to to their, you know, to their salana to to their bank accounts, you know, that whole pipeline and that works really well. Um, and then would like to see us bring on others.
We we may that may not be the way we go and we may bring others faster than that. Um, but there’s lot of things that you have to handle in terms of just, you know, it’s one thing again for us to be like, hey, we have bridge that allows you to transfer C4 assets over.
It’s another thing for us to be like, here’s here’s wormhole full style bridge that can bridge between all kinds of tokens that it’s just another use case that they seem similar, but there’s there’s edge cases in those use cases that aren’t specific to to to Star Atlas that we may not have the time and capacity yet to handle as secure as would like to see an L1 to to handle those.
Right. >> Uh, so yes, go ahead. Please cut me off at any time.
You know, it’s because the questions keep piling up.
So, I need to to start asking them. >> is >> how will token accounts work on Zinc?
We are still going to pay handle fees. >> Uh what was the very last part you broke up for me there? >> Uh if we are we’re going to pay rental fees like on Solana when we create something in game for example fleet etc.
How this is going to work on >> Z? Yep. Yep.
So, so, so that’s the thing. mean, fundamentally, we’re just forking, you know, we’re just doing what totally say, just fork this, right? Just fork over, right?
So, we’re ultimately just forking SVM and we are not right now the plan is not to alter that in any way, shape, or form really, other than just kind of fork that has a different genesis that’s different, you know, that’s the zinc token instead of soul. Um and and the again the benefit of that is yes you still have rental access but if that that rental isn’t costing $30 to $40 to to hold that because salana you know souls at 150 or $200 or you know hopefully for my bag is at thousand bucks right you know what mean um but instead it’s it’s pennies for that rent because it’s it’s zinc um and again we want to create real value in zinc because people are investing in zinc don’t don’t want to say that but but ultimately the the the value comes from the Star Atlas economy versus the bigger blockchain economy which then fights for us or competes for those resources.
So, so yes, ultimately there will still be be rent. There still be all of the fundamental >> things that an SVM uh chain has.
So, >> awesome. Jim, I’m not sure if you are going to be able to answer this one. This one comes from DoD there.
He’s asking, “Are we planning to create pool with zinc atlas, zinc polies, or zinc soul at the beginning of the launch of the network? ” >> Oh, liquidity pool. Is that what you said?
>> Yes.
Yes. >> That that again that gets that gets to out of the technical realm. I don’t I’m not sure.
>> That’s Michael Michael Wagner. Michael Wagner stuff.
So Jim, I’m going to change topics little bit because want to talk about the core product of the Zinc network, the profile. >> Switch headphones real quick. Just give me second.
>> Yeah.
Okay. >> Well, all right. Go ahead.
>> Can you hear us? >> can. Can you hear me?
>> Yep. All working.
So uh let’s talk little bit about the profile, the identity, the XP system. Uh can you give us rundown and explain to our audience how the system works, the pain points, the road map here, if we are doxing people, if we’re not doxing people, how this all play out, my friend. >> Yeah.
Yeah.
No, we want to we definitely don’t want to dox people. Um, which is why anybody who’s created Zinc profile, like there’s no, we’re not asking for an email address to sign up. You just use your wallet, create an account, give us whatever name.
Um, you want um and even even in the background for apologize for people who have been dealing with Stripe issues. Uh, you know, we we just have basically link to Stripe. We don’t have any of that payment information.
So, so Oh, yeah.
No, real question. We don’t we don’t really want to dox people. Um, so you know, big part of Zinc, um, and there is is this idea of being able to reward people for participating in Star Atlas, right?
And and being able to to to be be getting not just, you know, the the economic and the entertainment value of Star Atlas and the games, but then also being able to get rewards. um airdrop rewards being zinc tokens themselves being items in our games and you know part of the bigger thing is that uh you know as we we want zinc to be the greatest place for for web- based games and web you know some some other like apps and other things to come on there um you know people have seen the multipass right now the only per only the only company offering rewards through multipass is Star Atlas but we built that system so so another web 3 game could come in and they could offer their rewards through multipass as well or uh you know D app could come in and they could they could start offering rewards through multipass as well. Um and so we we’ve we’ve built this system as blockchain level identity and rewards system.
Um so so that you can have this centralized and again we we’re trying to kind of show that with Star Atlas like you can be you know you can be playing Sage you can be playing you can be you know participating in the Dow you can be playing Hollisim all of them funnel to one profile that is getting rewards uh for that and getting you know participating in in the rewards program and the loyalty program and then again as you as we bring in as we bring on others into the ecosystem into the Zenos ecosystem, they can do that same thing. And there’s this kind of uh to use corporate buzzwords, this kind of synergy, right, where it’s like, hey, you’re new web 3 game.
Well, you know, Starless has 300,000 players playing on Zinc, and we’ve got 300,000 people in the zinc rewards program. Start offering rewards in our reward program. And, you know, just like we did with the checklist for play hollowosim and ep, you know, link your epic store.
And again, we sorry, I’m involved in Unreal.
you can play Unreal games and you can, you know, the Unreal game and get rewards. Just like all of that, we could start other web 3 companies, other web 3 games could start being part of that and and kind of be able to tap into the the bigger ecosystem, generating more value for the entire zinc ecosystem in general.
So, building, you know, building those fundamental again fundamental identity, fundamental reward. The other thing that we’re especially since we we tried the stripe crypto payment solution and just ran into so many issues you know part of Star Atlas we have this player vault we have the ability if we would now that and we’re you know discussing this internally like people are alpha of instead of using stripe for crypto payments again what if we use the player wallet right where people could could basically escrow certain amount of of crypto tokens or stable tokens you know give our per our our our key the permission to withdraw those on regular basis, but they could pull out any time. They could basically cancel and get all that that money that was escrowed back, utilize that as as stable crypto payment solution.
Well, then again, we could then offer that to others to apps that want to do dollar cost averaging or you again web 3 games that want to do that same kind of reoccurring payment process.
So, >> awesome. >> Yeah.
So being able to to to build that not just for us but to build it as way to to incentivize other players to come in other companies to come in and and build on top of it.
So >> for sure. >> Uh Jim, have question here about validators but want to >> want to save this question for later because we have special guest to talk on this topic. >> Uh so I’ll go for Neil’s questions.
He’s saying that he’s getting this question frequently in his live streams about sync. Uh the launch date was planned for later March and there was count time countdown timer on the platform that reflect that time that date but in the last two weeks that count countdown was removed from the website. Does this mean that the launch of the network and the end of the end of the origin season has been postponed?
No, it it does not mean that.
So So that so the excuse me.
So the countdown actually and this is really interesting that you brought this up and I’m glad did the the count so the way that we’re going to do airrops.
So there’s the way kind of Okay, I’m going to go way back to the way rewards there’s kind of three levels of rewards and two primary levels of rewards from Zinc. Um there’s airdrop seasons and there’s multipass ranks and the and then there’s this kind of global uh kind of reputation level.
So when you get into zinc, you kind of see your zinc profile and you say, “Okay, you know, I’m level and I’ve earned this much ZXP globally. ” That’s like since the ending of Zinc and how long I’ve played it. I’ve got 2 million ZXP and I’m level 17 and get, you know, and that that’s my reputation and how my OG status, right?
And then there’s these airdrop seasons. Alpha was the first one. Origin is the next one.
And basically those are seasons in which time periods in which people compete on these global leaderboards and then they’ll be rewarded airdrops based on their progress during that season. And we’re going to we’re those seasons don’t last forever. We’re going to reset them just like we do with Hollow Sim.
So you know Alpha was what 60 days think. forgive me if I’m wrong in the specific dates and and we reset.
Now we’re in the origin season. Origin is going to have uh finish date to be determined. And when that finish date happens, people will get air dropped the rewards of that and we’ll start the next season.
And it gives people kind of reset to say to be like, “Oh my gosh, I’m I’m not two years behind on this thing. I’ll never make it to the top of the leaderboards. I’ll never make it to where want to be.
” So, there’s this kind of reset of these airdrop seasons. Um, and they have their own their own level curve. If any of you have played and or character-based games where you you kind of level up.
Um, and that level curve is different than your global level curve.
So, you may be globally level 5,000 because you’ve been around for forever, but we’re on air we’re on airrop season 20. You’re going to start at level zero, and you’re going to have to climb your way back up every season uh to get the reward, get your get however we’re rewarding people.
And then there’s the multi-pass rank. And the multi-pass rank is based on the actual products that want to give multipass ranks and what level what rank they want to give. And so there’s lot of you who as soon as we turned on multi-rank, they filled all the way to the the end, they’re already ranked 30 and they’re going to get all of those airdrops um from from C4.
Um, and then again, so then if say Hollow Sim wanted to do their own multipass, then there would be multipass for the rank for each one of those. And so this this other idea that that games and players in the Eco companies in the ecosystem could do their own ranking and their own airdrops that aren’t tied to the season.
So know it gets complex and I’m I’m sorry that seems complex. Um, the simple answer to your question is that timer was never really when the Zinc blockchain was going to launch. It was when the origin season was going to end.
And um we’ve decided right now that the origin season ending is going to be determined. We’re we’re not we’re not sure. And there are there are sleuths like Funcracker who went looking through network protocols and found date.
Um but we’re not displaying it to people. And and that date that that’s coming is also not true.
It’s just placeholder. Um we don’t know right yet.
We haven’t determined when Origin’s going to end.
So, and it does not mean that the blockchain itself is going to be delayed. >> Awesome, Jim. Uh, now let’s change gears to player impact.
Like want to give them like an overview of the first 24 hours, 48 hours of the zinc network.
So, want to give them some idea of what changes for them the if the wallet flows, fees, login, etc. that they are used to on Solana will be the same thing. If they need to bridge their assets, how is that going to work?
Uh what happens with their existing assets and what’s the rollout plan to keep the migration low drama if we could say it like that? >> Yeah, that’s that’s that’s great question and don’t won’t have all of the specifics about that. know our community is really really good at like giving me the exact specifics and apologize but I’m talk more in general generalities.
don’t want to ruin the fun when the, you know, the excitement when it actually happens.
But yeah, so so from technical standpoint, you know, um, Zinc is going to be a different set of RPCs and custom RPC URL and you know, we’ve been working with Backpack um and and uh for for basically top level backpack support. I’ll I’ll be candid. My understanding is we’ve reached out to Soulflare out to Phantom.
Can you hear me? What’s going on? >> Yeah.
Yeah, know. I’m laughing because you just dropped the major alpha. >> Oh, shoot.
What? Why do do that? Don’t Don’t >> Oh, Jesus.
>> Um, >> yeah. >> Yeah.
So, we’ve been working with with Backpack and and you know, things are looking good there. Again, we’ve reached out to Phantom and to Sulfair and, you know, we haven’t really gotten response that leads me to believe that you’re going to be able to use Phantom if you can’t put custom RPC. you you are right.
Um and so my my my initial gut feeling and again this is me and and may be wrong in this in the in the end but is that yeah you know there will be this process of of basically hooking up to connect to to to zinc um and then you know using the bridge software that we’re building to basically go in and say here’s here’s here’s my my my star atlas assets and want to move them to zinc um and bridge them to zinc and you know if you’re doing that with Phantom and Ledger now or you’re doing that with Soulflare whatever however you’re doing that now you basically do that we you know we bridge them over you sign it again with Backpack and now they’re in zinc and you you’re you know you’re using you’re using that um to play to play C4 uh on zinc that kind of give high level of how that would work. >> Yeah.
Yeah. For sure. For sure.
Uh now feel it’s the time for us to start digging in on network design the builder ecosystem and think we have someone very qualified in the audience who even though he’s sick he gently uh offered to join us today to talk little bit about this. Uh, will invite our friend Jacob Brave Target to the stage.
Welcome, Jacob. I’m sorry for >> for taking you from your recovery. >> No worries.
I’m I’m like only half sick, so I’m good. >> Half sick is half alive, right?
So, it’s something right? >> Yeah.
Yeah. definitely feel lot better than sound, for sure. >> Awesome, Jacob.
So uh we had few questions. Uh oh yeah this is quite interesting.
We have 4JS in the brew right now. think this is the very interesting configuration.
Yes. Very cool. Larino.
So uh Jacob uh you are for sure on top of everything related to the zinc network uh the designs the validators etc. Can you give us like brief summary of what we can expect at the release of zinc >> uh on those topics and the road map or the north stars that automata will follow on its path of for decentralization? >> Uhhuh.
Uh well, first of all, uh want to mention how awesome Jim has been covering all of these topics and uh and it’s it’s pretty good to have like a lot of the information floating out there. Um maybe faster than we were anticipating, but nonetheless, it’s it’s it’s great.
There’s so much to cover when it comes to launching an L1. Um so much appreciated, Jim. Um and >> no problem.
As far as putting this thing into uh healthy sort of go to market L1 um there’s lot of moving pieces. Uh and we have just uh dozens uh many dozens of meetings over uh the the last year to kind of you know show just just how many details are needed to to get everything in place. Um there is this uh sort of um the MVP launch of an L1 that we that we talk about pretty regularly.
Um and and we kind of see it throughout the industry just like it’s not every single L1 launch is different and we um we’re taking all the good pages out of what we see that we feel works uh super well and then and then also uh flagging these major concerns.
But what what we’re shooting for, and this is like really important uh detail that think kind of um applies to lot of different topics, is that we’re making almost no code changes from Salana mainet. Um and uh and very explicit sort of around this strategy. We think it’s going to help tremendously when it comes to growth.
basically everything running in the Salana ecosystem working out of the box for zinc mainet is uh is pretty sweet. think that um it’s going to sort of encourage uh you know all different sizes of players that are doing really well in the Salana ecosystem to just see this green field uh over in uh the zinc network and um and get involved. Um that said to kind of answer the question um mean that that does kind of answer the question in terms of what we’re shooting for is uh think Lauren or mentioned it’s like zinc test net but we kind of actually uh uh do the zinc token minting treated as mainet.
Uh one of the big requirements there uh that kind of separates it from uh test net and mainet is that you need to you need bridge. You need bridging strategy.
It’s kind of impossible to launch an L1 and have activity there uh meaningful activity without without uh without bridge to bring assets in. um as opposed to the early days like these networks were coming up from scratch and there was no network to bridge from you know so it’s like uh that required just the massive community to get involved in the um sort of token generation event and um uh we with our pre-existing sort of uh presence on Salana mainet having the bridge strategy in place made tremendous amount of sense so That’s the additional baggage that comes with uh mainet.
But we have had testn net running for um actually couple months there. You said about 30 days, Jim.
It’s been running for Yeah. like 90. Um and uh and it’s nice to see all that tech working and kind of the the build pipeline for uh zinc validators and and whatnot.
Um uh sort of that that’s all in place. Uh the big thing that we’re trying to nail down right now is the is the bridge uh and bridging strategy and possibly some launch partners to to work with so that there’s uh multiple bridging options. Um also want to reference in this in this question is uh is Fogo chain.
They just this week they they launched their an L1 SVM albeit with um uh handful of quirks. They did some really interesting sort of performance optimization to their network architecture. Um not really this like verbatim uh vanilla SVM L1.
They’re doing some really cool stuff at the hardware level. Um, but pretty successful launch and they they had uh partnered with with Wormhole to do their uh bridging into it. Um, and it’s pretty cool to see all of that go really well and have lot of uh success kind of right out of the gate to show for it.
So, >> this is interesting.
So, and this is question that see here in the audience uh because several people were previously concerned about the bridging operations overall.
But this is something that you you guys on the dev team are not super worried about given that we had this experience with Fogo and the other partners that we have in the ecosystem.
This is like lowrisk thing probably. Uh I wouldn’t paint it as low risk. want to say the bridge portion of the stack is uh is significantly uh in in the highest risk category of anything that we’re running.
Uh mean just referencing the industry alto together uh if you look at attack vectors things that have gone wrong it’s like 99% occurs within bridges and oracles and and there’s uh uh thousands of new attack vectors when it comes to those types of services because it’s not just it’s it’s sort of in certain ways decoupled from the blockchain network itself and you’re sort of dealing with this peripheral system and and lot of weird finagling and and this is you know bridges that have three independent audits go through all successful no issues and then and then some black hat finds finds an attack vector there and millions get lost.
So, so this is um definitely uh topmost concern when it comes to the security auditing uh efforts we’re putting in place for zinc is uh if we’re doing this homebaked bridge uh sort of tailor fit solution which in our case think doing this tailor fit bridging solution makes lot of sense because it’s uh in particular the the the bridge system we’re building is SVM to SVM bridge it’s not multi-chain So, um, and and we have, uh, want to say the most concise, um, bridging system that’s ever been built, like minimizing the surface area. Um, just to kind of make it full foolproof, you know, no weird attack vectors come out of the woodwork. Uh, and and this is uh, uh, we also have, you know, game systems that we’re thinking about like gameplay experience.
uh from my perspective when there’s DeFi bridging you can it can take you know minutes uh or uh you know 20 plus minutes for your sort of transfer to to resolve into the the destination network. Um, but because our core products are are games and the gameplay experience and sort of uh the UX there really really matters lot, we saw kind of this opportunity to just have like high-speed, you know, finality within seconds, uh, through the bridging system. Um, and so, uh, we’re kind of accomplishing that.
It’s it’s pretty neat seeing what’s coming together. Um and then again this is just you know our tailor fit version. We’re looking you know uh very likely going to have multiple bridging options when it comes to getting assets into zinc.
This is super cool Jacob and think we should also touch little bit on the validator program or how the validator ecosystem is going to work on zinc. Is it going to be permissionless? Uh what’s the plan at the beginning?
Are there will be incentives to run validator on zinc? Whatever you can disclose to us today, feel free to give us the alpha. >> Whatever can disclose is an interesting question.
Uh not exactly sure, but I will I’ll share some uh cool details about the getting involved in in zinc network uh is going to be extraordinarily easy for anyone that’s done anything in Salana. uh ecosystem previously. If you ran validator there, you’re going to be right at home running the zinc validator.
Um the the next milestone that we are looking towards are these um test net workshops, these zinc test net workshops that we’re going to um coordinate with um well interested parties um and and there’s handful of them uh right in the Star Atlas community.
It’s going to be pretty cool.
But, you know, really doing some broader outreach there. Um, and just try to get people, you know, really well equipped for that Genesis event, the Zinc uh ma mainet going live and kind of from day one have these these launch partners running running validators along with us. And so that’s kind of going to be the um the main goal of the Zinc test net workshops is just like make sure everyone’s kind of running it and you know again connecting to zinc test net and kind of um uh ensuring they’re uh that everything’s everything’s working as intended there.
um and just make it really a seamless transition into uh running validator on Zinc mainet because again there’s there’s uh this the stake weight associated stake weight with your validator.
It’s going to have uh some some yield with it. Uh those numbers aren’t finalized. can’t really share lot of of like what that yield looks like, but um but uh uh everything I’ve seen related to tokconomics is is feeling very very healthy.
Um stellar job from Mike and Chris uh working it’s awesome.
This is interesting uh Jacob because Mandalorian is asking precisely that because he sees the situation where we have some validators on Solana like just quitting but here you guys are creating system to ensure that there are incentives to be validator on on zinc right >> yeah mean there there’s pretty solid incentives in salon main that can’t really identify exactly why it’s hemorrhaging uh lot of validators from this lot of mainet ecosystem. Um but the uh the tech is phenomenal and it keeps improving. uh and and that uh uh think when it comes to kind of pro proportionality of validators like we we don’t have this um really extensive list uh you know we have we have some in internal targets of how many uh external validators we would like to be running at at Genesis.
is um but whether or not we get there um doesn’t necessarily threaten the the security of the network, right?
It’s um uh we have uh the token allocation sorry the the zinc token circulation schedule should say is is going to give us this this confidence to where even if we had you know uh singledigit validators running the network from Genesis uh we’re not exposed to this like 51% attack because of the way that the circulating supply and the stake weight is is going to be distributed. Um so um hopefully that does sort of highlight some opportunity here if you’re one of small handful of validators and there’s not lot of circulating supply out there. Um yeah, it it could be great opportunity to to get involved in those early days.
And kind of what Jim was getting at is like the the the growth um all of these big uh sort of systems, these big platforms that are running in Salana mainet that are just even with kind of lot of uh an exodus of validators, there’s just still this amazingly high rank in terms of user activity and engagement in Salana network. um nobody’s really close.
There’s lot of people doing really great things, but if you just look at the the user activity, um the the development teams, like nobody’s really that close to to what Salon is doing, it’s it’s very impressive. And so kind of bringing uh lot of that energy into into Zinc new green field. think it’s pretty pretty sweet opportunity there.
uh Jacob and Jim.
Now would like to briefly touch on the on the builders that we want to attract to the zinc network. mean of course Statlas is the biggest most visible application that’s coming to the zinc network but we also need other stuff in the ecosystem like exchanges etc etc. And I’d like to hear from you guys like what you guys are looking for the most in people coming to build on the zinc network.
What kind of applications, programs, etc. you guys would like to see? And do you see in the future uh uh incentives being given to people to come build on the zinc network to try to attract talent to the ecosystem?
Um absolutely there.
So there’s excuse me uh po part of that sort of tokconomics plan is allocating uh sort of ecosystem growth token.
So if there is you know um really nice well every network is going to need like the healthy DeFi piping is what call it.
So it’s like the foundational layer you know liquidity pools being able to uh do all the exchanging of assets there. and uh interesting DeFi services. think there’s going to be whole host of of people that really become the the premier provider of those DeFi services on on Zinc.
And it’s going to be interesting to see in contrast to Salana mainet.
It’s not just going to be Jupiter, Orca, Radium kind of running the show, you know, pumpf fun. going to be uh you know opportunity for the new pump fund to be you know exist in the new Jupiter um and uh and yeah there’s some uh uh interesting discussions there when it comes to kind of that DeFi piping but um where uh my head goes is and and we’re not gaming network per se but really want to see lot of gaming projects sort of exist on Zinc uh and really embrace this sort of uh cross collaboration, cross promotion capability that comes with these you know permissionless networks um assets shared in between games or um we have seen some of that in our history where it’s like uh kind of something built within the startless community that uh just consumes R4 in their game. They’re not producing it, but it’s like, hey, you can use your fuel, food, whatever in in our game and it works.
And think that’s really nice way to just get interested users into your new game.
So, so encouraging lot of like uh uh gaming development to happen on Zinc, kind of born and raised there. Um and uh and that would definitely fit fit the theme of what we’re really using the network for immensely is Star Atlas game system.
So, um, yeah, I’ll kind of leave it at that. don’t know if uh Jim or or John want to speak to that, but yeah, >> can can jump in real quick.
But, you know, I’m I definitely think some of the things we’re thinking about in terms of again rewards programs, payment systems, uh that are are highly cryptonative um and and not fiat native and then trying to throw crypto on there and doing weird things with creating 50 invoices and doing all the crazy stuff that Stripe is doing. Um, you know, again, if we could get thousands and thousands of Star Atlas players on there and then, you know, what are things that that people that people could build uh that that tap into that large user base and provide more value?
You know, what are what kind of user generated content? what kind of other things, you know, and what what things, you know, what kind of products could really leverage really high performant SVM without necessarily the cost of of the token being hundreds of dollars, right? Um, you know, there’s lot of really cool, think, opportunities for anybody kind of thinking about building, you know, building on top of really robust and awesome, you know, consensus protocol blockchain like like Salana, but but being able to do it in in more cost-effective manner.
So that that’s what would and and then having built-in basically you know if you partner with the with the zinc reward program you have built-in kind of marketing channel to to promote your product to people who are active in the community.
So >> really interesting guys.
Now it’s time to expose expose code. He has been quiet this entirely bro. His strategy was exposed in the chat by Jindo.
And now is John.
It’s time to earn your kip. Sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh share some alpha with us about hol scene. >> What have you been cooking in the backstage, my friend?
was hoping you guys would just forget that was here and could just go back coding this. >> He was I’m sure he was just clearing his tasks backlog >> clearing my cache on my browser and restarting. >> Jesus.
>> Uh so this time this la last time tried sharing uh screen didn’t work.
So let’s see if can share this time. see if Discord is working better today. You’ll have to tell me if this works or if it’s just blank screen.
>> Let’s see.
It’s loading. >> Working. Blank screen.
>> Loading forever. I’ll turn my camera off. Maybe it’ll help.
Yeah, maybe if we turn off our cameras. >> No, I don’t know what’s going on. It It doesn’t work on stage, but can share my screen all day.
>> Okay, think think saw something. Hold on. >> 1080p.
Okay, let me see. See what we got here. >> Jindo, teach us.
Try again. 1080p 1080p.
Okay then let’s go.
There’s the 1080p Nitro version of screen share. anything? >> Nothing yet.
>> Okay.
Well, >> you need to take screenshot of your screen and show us in the chat. >> Sure.
Okay. Um, so here is here is the here’s combat interface. Um, you can see that we have the different factions broken up on the screen that use your imagination with me.
The these are supposed to be fleet icons and you can see you can see there’s two rainbow cheese there.
You can see that there’s an evac in my fleet and they’re using fleet icons. Uh so we’re getting away from this full screen command view and we’re breaking fleets up into static items on the screen. And at the at glance you can see shield power, hell points, uh you can see the the numbers represent their attack power and you get the fleet names.
And um in this screenshot that posted above this one here, I’ll just repost this. Um, clicked attack and the the screen displays popup over top of the fleet that’s firing and what its damage was. Um, it shows the damage dealt to the other fleet, the damage took.
Um, it shows that animation that lights up and flashes on the screen. Um, and then it shows the countdowns. And you can see that the evac has minute and half timer.
And so, uh, the release we did last week changed how fleet, um, attack cooldowns work.
So, um, across the board, we increased fleet attack timers. And the idea here is that, um, battles will be started by clicking attack and they’ll continue to go until you say stop.
So, we’re not going to click attack, click attack, click attack on whatever. You’re going to come in and you’re going to say attack, and you’re going to choose target, and it’s going to keep attacking until the target either dies or you die or you’re destroyed. And battles are going to last longer.
Equally equally equipped fleets could take up to 10 minutes to destroy one another. Um, and that allows for lot more strategic gameplay, allows for enemy NPCs to come in and disrupt your mining operations and you not get wiped off the map in two seconds. Um, it allows you to bring in reinforcements to counter enemy NPCs or other enemy fleets.
It allows battles to build in complexity. Allows you to change out units, move in units, move out units type thing. Um, yeah.
So, that’s what we’re getting at here. Uh, the the pace of battle will be much much slower in the next chapter of Hollow Sim. And lot of combat is going to be around maintaining your control of particular mining nodes because you’re going to want to earn achievements by mining at those mining at those nodes and that takes time and there’s going to be enemies attacking you no matter what.
So, um yeah.
So, that’s kind of it’s kind of >> your alpha. >> Yeah, that’s my alpha. I’m not going to show you.
>> Awesome job. >> Yeah, this is good excuse. would make you show them the quests and something like this, but since your stream is bugged, nothing we can do.
>> I’m going to try here. don’t know what’s going on. Nitro stream.
Uh, let me just try window instead of uh the whole the whole screen. See here, more options.
Yeah, guys, another thing that think it’s going to be super cool is the beginning of the PV combat in Hollow Scene. We’ll be much more focused on adding PV elements.
It’s the first time that we are adding them, but this will only grow in the following chapters. >> Can you see that?
No, John. Still loading. >> Report problem.
I’m clicking the report problem button. >> Are you trying Are you trying the share screen that’s on the at the bottom of the screen or on the one on the left? Bottom left.
>> At the bottom of the screen like connected to my stage controls. >> see. Uh, let’s see.
Yeah, we’ll have to we’ll have to do this. We’ll have to get on stage and troubleshoot this some point so that can start sharing on these. Let me try let me try something different here.
Share screen. Let’s try that. >> Yeah, Jindo is asking you to use the bottom left one.
>> Yeah, just tried the bottom left one here.
No dice. >> No, >> something different. >> Uh John, people are asking, will there be sound in holosene in this chapter?
Uh yeah, we’ve got some sound. Um we have notification system that provides in-game updates from Sage um in real time.
So you’ll get notifications about enemy fleets coming to your sector. You’ll get notifications about um in-game actions that you’ve taken. Um, you’ll also have uh video like live video from the different NPCs who are telling you the story as you go through the story and through the tutorial.
Um, can probably share an example of that if you guys want to see something. >> guess everyone does. >> Yeah, can just post it here.
Uh, just give me minute here to get that.
Someone mistakes that shiny uniform for an invitation. >> Yeah.
Okay. Um yeah, this is little long.
It’s minute and half, but I’ll drop it in here and you guys can >> Yeah, this is this is cool. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, think you can close your transmission, John.
It seems to be bugging some people’s Discords.
Okay. All right. >> Hope it’s better now.
Asked. >> Is that all right? >> Uh yeah, think it got better for them.
Uh Sasquatch is asking if there will be an option to to turn off the videos. Yep. You’ll be able to pause them or mute them if you want >> because he’s worried about the load on the PC’s local PC.
>> Yes.
Yeah. you you can you can mute them, you can pause them. Um mean the the notification system is going to have different um levels of severity and you’ll be able to tune it to just critical messages.
And if you bring the the notification system more sensitive, you’ll get critical and warning and if you get more sensitive, you get critical warning and info.
So, um, yeah, you can you can have it really verbose or off. And, um, there’s there’s new UI for the quest interface and you’ll see how it works. You don’t have to you don’t have to play the video.
You can just read the text if you want. Uh, John VB VB gave me sol potential solution. set the stage video quality to 7 720p.
>> Maybe your transmission will work as ask you for your patience. Let’s do one more try. If it works, it works.
If not, we just drop something in the chat and close the brew. >> Okay. And I’m already uploading the video file of the people talking.
So, that’s going to come through in second. And I’m gonna try 720p video stream. >> Yeah.
>> Okay. Let’s see here. Share your screen.
And I’m going to go with 720p. Oops. One sec.
fat fingered it. Share my screen. Make selection.
720p.
Okay. How about this? Anything?
>> Nope. >> Unfortunately, no.
Okay, that’s fine. You already uh gave us the video.
Mhm.
Mhm. Let me see if can play it.
Yeah, you can close your stream. Let me >> Well, this isn’t exactly the officer’s lounge was expecting. Keep your guard up, Captain.
The punobs in here look like they could wrestle Jupan ax. There he is. The one with the medals and the attitude.
>> You’re late. Sit down before someone mistakes that shiny uniform for an invitation. Commander Sealobe Minastu.
Convergence war. Fifth Oni Fleet. two-time survivor of orbital catastrophes and one retirement ceremony that didn’t stick.
Now I’m here wasting my twilight years inside bloody simulation babysitting socalled rebels. >> With respect, Commander, neither of us are rebels. We’re operating under council order with full authorization.
We’re here to help ensure the consortium’s victory.
Nothing more. >> Oh, I’ve heard that tune before. Victory for the consortium.
Unity for Galia. Every generation hums the same melody until the music stops and someone starts looting the instruments. Still, you might be right.
Maybe you’re not rebels.
Not yet, anyway.
But we’ll see soon enough. You forced me out of retirement, Captain, so might as well make it worth the trouble. >> Finish your drink.
We’ve got galaxy to win. And >> And I’ll be damned if the consortium eludes us, even in simulation. Come on then.
Time to earn your pay and mine. >> This is our pun. Sec.
Man, really like this. Going to be so fun.
Yeah.
So, we got lots of content in chapter 2. Uh, nine characters, think, across three factions. All everybody gets different stories.
They get the same story told through different characters.
So, um, it’s going to be lots of fun.
Yeah. Awesome, guys. think this was great brew.
Honestly, really want to highlight Jacob here who was not feeling well but jumped in to help us. Thank you, Jacob. Thank you, Jim.
Thank you, John. It was an awesome brew, guys. Thank you for answering.
>> Yeah, it was my pleasure to be here with so many legends that whose name starts with J. Uh maybe we’ll make this we’ll make this thing.
So only people with the name are allowed to participate on brews from now on. And yeah guys, hope you enjoyed the brew doubles in the chat for my co-hosts here. They were awesome.
Get get ready.
We are new things are coming pretty soon. Staratlas is going to release bunch of really cool stuff in the near term. Get ready guys.
We are in the final phases of development especially for holy you. can almost taste the cosmic currents and now thank you for watching. It was pleasure to be here with you all and I’ll see you guys tomorrow on the ecom forum where me and Chris will go through the start ecosystem.
We are also going to talk about zinc about the other Solana virtual machines blockchains.
It’s going to be very interesting conversation. hope you all join us tomorrow as well. Thank you for watching and have great week.
Bye-bye. See you guys later. >> You guys
