 Hi, everyone. It has been amazing to hear what everyone's working on. I'm learning a lot from all these projects as well. And I'm here to give you a little bit of spicy history about the Meta Cartel, what we've been doing in the ecosystem of Ethereum for about seven years now, and what we're moving towards now as a global node in this remote state network. So, back in 2018, the DAO was formed by going direct to community. This is a photo of all of us at one of the earlier meetups in Prague, back in the status days, just before DevCon. We went from community creation to capital formation super fast. We started with the people first, bringing all the people together, having conversations and discussions, doing meetups, went into a meta-transaction research group, quickly evolved into a grant-giving organization, realizing that people need funds in this ecosystem to be building DAPs and experiments. Some of those projects went on to become super successful companies, raising funds all across the ecosystem, and providing things for a DeFi, governance, all kinds of stuff. A really high bar for entry, it was 10 ETH per member. So, over the last four or five years, we've accumulated 140 members under that spectrum, and the current value of grants that we've been a ways a million and a half dollars, and these are all no-strings-attached grants that go to people who are building and creating and experimenting inside of Ethereum. It's all about the grants that we do. We spent a lot of time working with folks, doing mentorship. Our grants portal is open right now at metacartel.org, and that is how I got started in this ecosystem, is helping people who are applying for grants find their way through the process, get their wallets logged in, get their funds transferred, and get these funds out to people in the ecosystem. A little history about MOLIC, MOLICDAO. You may have heard of MOLIC, the god that you have to sacrifice your babies to. So, we doubled down on that meme. MOLIC, the original DAO that was helping to fund Lair to Ethereum research, started by Amin Soleimani. My good friend Peter Penn was rejected from MOLICDAO, so he said, I'm going to fork it, and he created Metacartel. So, the first founder of this DAO created Metacartel. The MOLICDAO framework has the Rage Quit feature, which allows anyone to leave the DAO at any point with their proportional ownership. So, if you don't like a vote, even during grace period, you can exit the DAO. Now, DAO House is the framework that we created that allows anyone to create their own DAO today. Secures $100 million in community treasuries. Memes. Our community is driven on memes. So, the Spicy Chili Man has been our mascot for a long, long time. He went on and he's lived all over the place. I'm sure it's socks, hats. But it's a memetic filter for community members, people who are aligned with this kind of, don't take yourselves too seriously. We're all like, you know, having a laugh here, but we're creating cool stuff and experimenting as well. So, the current phase of what we're doing, gutting the chili. Not everything lives forever. DAOs are meant to die as well. So, currently, gutting the chili looks like spreading funds out to smaller groups, we call them sub-DAOs, that have their own little theme or thesis for what they want to be funding. So, we give funds to a group of five to 10 people and they go and spread it across the ecosystem. New novel projects, funding the next generation of builders. That's where the events came in for me personally. I don't have a computer science background, I have a hospitality background. I love people, I love food, I love gatherings, things like this. So, we started running MCON, which is our own DAO conference, hosted in Denver for two years. We did one in 2021 and one in 2022. 350 people at start, 800 people at the next, and MCON three, who knows. We haven't decided when we're gonna do it or where it will be hosted, but when the community calls, we'll come at answering. The whole goal was to get people together to get them out of their heads a little bit and in more of a fun and collaborative environment. So, we hosted the last one in a high school building, took over the whole high school and did workshops and classes and then dodgeball on the lawn. We've run meetups and events all around the world. There's even more, more than this, these are my early slides, but one place that I've enjoyed spending time and doing meetups is in Costa Rica. We have been going down to Costa Rica for three years running now and we decided after the last MCON, where we were all so stressed out and so tired from having conversations and discussions and networking that what if we could just get like 50 or 60 of our best friends together and go somewhere and take over a space and have cool conversations, do some excursions, eat good food and have conversations about what the future of this movement looks like. So, that brought us to Costa Rica. Costa Rica is all about vibes, it's about connections. It is a self-selected group of people who are willing to spend eight to 10 days in a tropical environment and co-house, co-work and co-organize. It's completely unconference. So, you show up and we organize what you want to do in the conversations you want to be having together. What came from Metacamp is Metacampus. We've been renting event centers and retreat centers for three years now for these events and we decided, we thought more, what if we could have our own space built from the ground up? How would that better benefit the members and the experiences that they're having there? So, this idea was floated at the last Metacampus or at the last Metacamp event and basically I've been running with the support of our core team. Searches for land, ideas, inspirations for how we could develop this center and make it something that really enhances people's experience when they come down and spend time with us. We're all about the deeper connections, forging, cohesion and aligning a really curated community of people to do more together. So, where are we now? We're building Metacampus. We bought five acres in Costa Rica on the Pacific Coast in Playa Negra. It's a beautiful insular community that doesn't even have a road to it, so we like it. It's not too hard to get to, 90 minutes from the airport and a quick and easy flight for most major hubs. We have really ambitious plans for what we want the community to be and to look like, but we're trying to keep it small. We're not thinking about scaling all over the world or having properties everywhere. We wanna do this property well from the beginning. We've got support and we've got input and save from the community, so we're really trying to develop in the open and adhere to what the desires of the community is and that's over 150 people who have come to our events throughout the past few years and then the segment of those who are actually putting capital into this. So all this money has been raised from the community and we've just been soliciting ideas and feedback. We believe that this is a central node in the movement towards a network state and we were super excited and happy to be sharing this information with others and collaborating with other projects that we're meeting on this journey. Just wanna double down on Costa Rica specifically. If you haven't been, it is beautiful. We think it's a super stable place politically and also climate-wise. Being near the beach is really good for people's health and well-being. We're not at the water, which is ideal for us with climate change situations, but there's a bunch of benefits for why you choose Costa Rica and coming down there, we have had some of the most amazing transformative experiences in relation to the locals, in relation to learning and sharing with folks who have been down there and building either eco resorts or retreats for the past 20 years and we found all the resources that we need to be able to grow this project and scale sustainably with the desires and the intentions of our community. So you can see this little graph here. It's got all of the kind of key points that people are most interested in in our community and it's various because this is not just about the tech, it's not just about the people, it's about all the interests bringing the full human to the picture. We find that a lot of the traditional conferences, they want to focus on the tech, on what's being built and they wanna go very much into the details. We wanna bring the human into the picture. What are you about? What are you excited about? What do you wanna build and how can we help you and align you with other creators who are on board with what you wanna build as well. So that's a little bit about where we're at today and where we've come from in the past. Metacampus is really about culture first and community over everything. That's it. My name is Jaler.
