- 0:05Speaker 1: All right, today we're going to be doing a deep
- 0:07Speaker 1: dive on Polka dot. I think you guys might be
- 0:10Speaker 1: interested in this one. It's going to be a full rundown.
- 0:13Speaker 1: You don't want to miss it. There are some big
- 0:15Speaker 1: news items that if you're into crypto, this is one
- 0:19Speaker 1: that you need to pay attention to. My name is
- 0:20Speaker 1: Paul Beron. Welcome back in the tech path. I do
- 0:22Speaker 1: want to say right here at the top is Polka
- 0:24Speaker 1: dot is sponsoring this video. But also we had a
- 0:27Speaker 1: massive run of comments of people on our channel asking
- 0:32Speaker 1: for more information, so you can, of course just visit
- 0:35Speaker 1: Polka dot network dot network and get a little bit
- 0:38Speaker 1: more information on it. But what we're going to do
- 0:39Speaker 1: today is rundown some of the things that are happening
- 0:42Speaker 1: within the ecosystem, and what we have found today I
- 0:45Speaker 1: think might surprise many of you that have been looking
- 0:48Speaker 1: at Polka dot. First up, I want to hit on
- 0:50Speaker 1: number of transactions. This just happened just yesterday, and of
- 0:54Speaker 1: course most of this well most of it is coming
- 0:56Speaker 1: over from Mythos and you've heard us talk about Mythos
- 0:59Speaker 1: before here on the channel. If you look at cryptoslam
- 1:02Speaker 1: right now, I just want to kind of zoom in
- 1:03Speaker 1: on this right here. This is d market right there,
- 1:07Speaker 1: which is Mythos, the number one NFT collection, And there's
- 1:10Speaker 1: a lot of reasons why. Well, counter Strike is a
- 1:12Speaker 1: good example of how all of this is playing into
- 1:14Speaker 1: it on Methos to where this has a potential to
- 1:18Speaker 1: really start to see big expansion on NFT usage in
- 1:22Speaker 1: Web two, especially as we start to see these Web
- 1:24Speaker 1: three conversion elements. I want to go to a clip
- 1:27Speaker 1: real click quick that we'll get into a little bit
- 1:30Speaker 1: more about how all this comes together, because there's a
- 1:33Speaker 1: lot of ecosystems out there in the gaming category. Take
- 1:36Speaker 1: a look at this one.
- 1:37Speaker 2: So Immutable is another very successful gaming project. They have
- 1:43Speaker 2: launched three hundred games. In fact, this year alone, they've
- 1:47Speaker 2: launched one game per day. It's really it's not even
- 1:50Speaker 2: in the realm of possible in most kind of traditional
- 1:54Speaker 2: mythical kind of one notable game. Mythical is still two
- 1:58Speaker 2: point two times larger in NFT revenues. And that's also
- 2:03Speaker 2: notable because the NFL season is over. The next NFL
- 2:09Speaker 2: season doesn't even start until September fifth. Even the wash trade,
- 2:13Speaker 2: so you know, Mythical doesn't engage in that activity to
- 2:16Speaker 2: try to you know, kind of drive volume. Five million
- 2:20Speaker 2: players have come into this game in the first year.
- 2:23Speaker 2: To put that in perspective, In the first year of
- 2:25Speaker 2: Madden it garnered twenty five million installs. In the first
- 2:30Speaker 2: year of Mythical it garnered five million. This is theoretically
- 2:34Speaker 2: the most successful app we've seen in crypto to date.
- 2:37Speaker 2: That engine and what they've built for NFL Rivals can
- 2:42Speaker 2: be ported because they own Rivals. So think other leagues
- 2:45Speaker 2: stay tuned on that point because I think there's going
- 2:47Speaker 2: to be more exciting news coming.
- 2:49Speaker 3: And also forget Padji Penguins, which they have already announced
- 2:52Speaker 3: for next year.
- 2:53Speaker 1: And there are some key times that play into this
- 2:56Speaker 1: in terms of how this could flow out. I want
- 2:59Speaker 1: to go to another clip real quick, because they also
- 3:02Speaker 1: angle against some of the bigger blockchains. So take a
- 3:04Speaker 1: look at this one.
- 3:05Speaker 4: And you know, we looked at everyone and everyone told us, Okay, yeah,
- 3:09Speaker 4: the gaming chain is is Polygon, got to go with Polygon.
- 3:12Speaker 4: And then a month later it's like, oh, the gaming
- 3:14Speaker 4: chain is Avalanche and that's Solana, right, So you get
- 3:17Speaker 4: all these things, and I think they're more hyped in substance.
- 3:20Speaker 4: Most of the time. One is we need stability, so
- 3:23Speaker 4: something like Solana is kind of a non starter. If
- 3:26Speaker 4: the chain goes down, it doesn't work for days at
- 3:28Speaker 4: a time. You know, our apps get pulled from the
- 3:31Speaker 4: app store right, sales don't go through, they get rejected.
- 3:34Speaker 4: That doesn't work. And we also need to see a
- 3:37Speaker 4: roadmap that lets us feel confident in the future. And
- 3:41Speaker 4: you know, Polko Dot check that off as well. We
- 3:43Speaker 4: want something with you know, it's actually decentralized. You'd be
- 3:46Speaker 4: hard pressed to find a better chain than Polko Doot
- 3:48Speaker 4: for those two things for sure.
- 3:49Speaker 1: We did this video two months ago and this was
- 3:52Speaker 1: the biggest gaming reveal ever and it was talking about
- 3:56Speaker 1: Mythos and really kind of their portal concept. Go back
- 3:59Speaker 1: and watch this video because it'll help you, guys get
- 4:01Speaker 1: an idea. But it's the one that was based on
- 4:04Speaker 1: ready Verse. You'll see it in there of what is
- 4:07Speaker 1: happening in the gaming ecosystem, and again this gets back
- 4:09Speaker 1: into some pretty big announcements that are happening. Stable Coins
- 4:13Speaker 1: also moving only one on Polka Dot, so you've got
- 4:17Speaker 1: that component that you still need because stable coins, of
- 4:20Speaker 1: course have to be resident in any kind of these
- 4:22Speaker 1: exchanges obviously in the sense of being able to just
- 4:24Speaker 1: handle liquidity going out there other things that kind of
- 4:28Speaker 1: changed quite a bit since. Really, I think a lot
- 4:31Speaker 1: of people have looked at polka Dot and if you
- 4:33Speaker 1: look back at their history back in the twenty twenty
- 4:36Speaker 1: one when Poka doont was really one of the go
- 4:39Speaker 1: to chains out there, I think many of you guys
- 4:42Speaker 1: will remember many of the shows and topics that we
- 4:44Speaker 1: talked about that time. But I think the lazy Polka
- 4:46Speaker 1: Dot's ux is terrible can be taken and now officially buried.
- 4:51Speaker 1: And there's a reason why all this is happening. But
- 4:54Speaker 1: this was the function in which you'd be able to
- 4:56Speaker 1: engage on Polka Dot, and this was a problem. And
- 5:00Speaker 1: I think these mini chains were like this in twenty
- 5:02Speaker 1: twenty one. So I don't want to say one bad
- 5:04Speaker 1: thing about one chain or another, but everybody was still
- 5:07Speaker 1: trying to build on this that has started to move
- 5:10Speaker 1: pretty significantly in the right direction. So one of the
- 5:13Speaker 1: things you can look at here is Nova wallet, which
- 5:15Speaker 1: is the leading mobile wallet for pok dot, and look
- 5:18Speaker 1: at the UI big difference here now so and I
- 5:20Speaker 1: think that is the thing and also the theme that
- 5:23Speaker 1: we're seeing now in twenty twenty four is that many
- 5:26Speaker 1: of these chains have come of age. I want to
- 5:28Speaker 1: go to a clip real quick that we'll get into
- 5:30Speaker 1: a little bit more detail on how this UI exploded
- 5:34Speaker 1: pok dot. Take a look.
- 5:35Speaker 5: Staking really is the main product in the poke Doot
- 5:37Speaker 5: ecosystem currently and you can tell that because this fifty
- 5:40Speaker 5: eight point five percent of all dot is staked right
- 5:43Speaker 5: by sixty thousand users. So this is why we focus
- 5:47Speaker 5: very heavily on providing the best possible staking experience for everybody.
- 5:51Speaker 5: We recently released the one click on boarding so you
- 5:54Speaker 5: can on board an oval wallet with your Apple ID
- 5:56Speaker 5: or Google account and set a proxy account your hot
- 6:00Speaker 5: wallet so you can manage your validators and change your
- 6:03Speaker 5: rewards destination and things like that and all these other
- 6:06Speaker 5: things you can see on the screen that we spoke
- 6:08Speaker 5: about before. How has actually affected the staking landscape right.
- 6:12Speaker 5: So this graph is the new cumulative dot staked with
- 6:17Speaker 5: wallets and lsds in the ecosystem since the fest of
- 6:20Speaker 5: September twenty twenty three, and you can see in terms
- 6:23Speaker 5: of the new dot being steaked, nerve wallet is in
- 6:25Speaker 5: the lead with just over ten million dot being staked. However,
- 6:28Speaker 5: some people had a bit of a head start over us.
- 6:30Speaker 5: So we're also going to look at the total dot
- 6:32Speaker 5: stakes since September, and well you can see that Nova
- 6:36Speaker 5: is now in the lead in terms of total dot
- 6:38Speaker 5: stakes compared to LSD's That is over three hundred million
- 6:41Speaker 5: total value stakes via Nova, over fifteen thousand people staking
- 6:45Speaker 5: using norther wallet, and if you remember what I said earlier,
- 6:48Speaker 5: there's sixty thousand people staking overall, So twenty five percent
- 6:52Speaker 5: of everybody steaking dot is using norv wallet, which is
- 6:55Speaker 5: absolutely amazing.
- 6:57Speaker 1: Big moves there again on UI starts to accel. Alright,
- 7:00Speaker 1: what's happening in those ecosystems, specially arounds taking pokadard. I
- 7:03Speaker 1: think you guys have probably seen the kind of yells
- 7:05Speaker 1: that are out there. I want to go to this
- 7:06Speaker 1: next clip because this is the next phase in where
- 7:09Speaker 1: some of this could really take place, and that is
- 7:11Speaker 1: in Web three. Let's go to this clip.
- 7:14Speaker 6: So how can I use it in the store, How
- 7:15Speaker 6: can convert? How can it like? What's next? And we
- 7:19Speaker 6: decided to solve this issue. So ladies and gentlemen, I
- 7:33Speaker 6: present to brand new product in the Polko Taken system
- 7:37Speaker 6: It is a debit cards on the Polka Dot, which
- 7:39Speaker 6: we're about to release this September for the region COVICH.
- 7:43Speaker 6: We start with Europe and UK, and in the next
- 7:46Speaker 6: year this is going to be expanded to the Latom
- 7:49Speaker 6: and US. But what really excites me is how we
- 7:52Speaker 6: can go further. We are working heavily right now on
- 7:56Speaker 6: the self castogo cards, which would be an next iteration
- 8:00Speaker 6: on it right that unlocks you unlimited possibilities on the
- 8:04Speaker 6: podcalont The really low handed fruit for imagining this is
- 8:08Speaker 6: basically a staken You can today set any account in
- 8:12Speaker 6: the known wallet to be an account that receives your
- 8:15Speaker 6: steaking carve ards daily, right, so you can imagine that
- 8:18Speaker 6: account can be used to receive your staking cave arts
- 8:23Speaker 6: and as soon as you have it, you'll see the
- 8:25Speaker 6: pussification no wallet, and that immediately without any mental barrier,
- 8:31Speaker 6: basically provide the opportunity to spend it right anywhere in
- 8:34Speaker 6: the world. We're designing the self caustial solution, which we're
- 8:38Speaker 6: aiming to release next year.
- 8:40Speaker 1: This could be huge for traditional finance what we'll see
- 8:44Speaker 1: in DeFi, but also I think in a lot of
- 8:46Speaker 1: these neobanks that have really kind of been building a
- 8:48Speaker 1: lot of their customer base. Could this change kind of
- 8:51Speaker 1: the habits of both retailers and consumers alike? And if
- 8:54Speaker 1: this is all happening, and it appears to be in September,
- 8:58Speaker 1: pretty big moves now they go for We're a little
- 9:00Speaker 1: bit further into this in terms of how Polka Dot
- 9:03Speaker 1: could help retailers. So I want to play another clip
- 9:05Speaker 1: for you to take a look.
- 9:06Speaker 7: You may want pay where in more than a million
- 9:09Speaker 7: stares and website across the US, and later this year
- 9:14Speaker 7: we are looking to launch international support. But that's not
- 9:18Speaker 7: all of it. On every purchase, you will be able
- 9:22Speaker 7: to get up to twenty percent cash back in dot
- 9:25Speaker 7: find funded by the brands you shop at this app.
- 9:29Speaker 7: We're looking at launching this app in Q three this year.
- 9:32Speaker 8: I think what a lot of folks don't realize is
- 9:34Speaker 8: Starbucks exactly is actually a bank that sells coffee. Fifty
- 9:38Speaker 8: five percent of all of Starbucks's transactions are on a
- 9:42Speaker 8: Starbucks card, which is a gift card. And so we're
- 9:45Speaker 8: seeing this as an industry trend, which is retailers are
- 9:50Speaker 8: leveraging gift cards as a means to drive loyalty. We're
- 9:52Speaker 8: tied in directly into their point of sales systems where
- 9:55Speaker 8: we can issue cards on demand to any retailer.
- 9:58Speaker 7: And it is right eye opening if you just realize
- 10:02Speaker 7: the size of it and the gross rates over the
- 10:05Speaker 7: last whatever ten years.
- 10:06Speaker 8: Right, it's at trillion dollars this year, right, and we're
- 10:09Speaker 8: going to get to about two and a half trillion
- 10:11Speaker 8: in the next five or six years globally.
- 10:13Speaker 1: All Right, So I don't know that you guys understand
- 10:16Speaker 1: how big what his statement was is for the retail
- 10:20Speaker 1: side of things, because this is one of the biggest
- 10:22Speaker 1: challenges I think for retailers is the idea to really
- 10:25Speaker 1: two big challenges. One of course is the fees on
- 10:28Speaker 1: transactions for credit card activities. The other is being able
- 10:32Speaker 1: to engage loyalty and true loyalty of how users can
- 10:35Speaker 1: use it. So the fact that they're making these kind
- 10:38Speaker 1: of inroads in retailers globally with redemption back into dot
- 10:42Speaker 1: in terms of advantages for the potential of creating a better,
- 10:46Speaker 1: more loyal audience. Remember, this is the biggest thing I
- 10:48Speaker 1: think in Web three. I still think this is the
- 10:51Speaker 1: killer app, and that meaning that loyalty will be the
- 10:54Speaker 1: killer app of Web three for all retail and if
- 10:57Speaker 1: they're doing it the right way on blockchain, maybe Poked
- 11:00Speaker 1: has an opportunity here to seize the moment and really
- 11:03Speaker 1: get in on these early building block days of where
- 11:06Speaker 1: these retailers are going. So huge news right there are
- 11:09Speaker 1: coming in. The Other thing that's happening is sept First
- 11:12Speaker 1: of all, you guys noticed there's a lot of things
- 11:14Speaker 1: happening in September. Okay, so you got September coming up,
- 11:18Speaker 1: possibly some macro pressures that could started rebelieve things, but
- 11:21Speaker 1: also some things are happening within the EU in September
- 11:26Speaker 1: as well. Take a look at this clip.
- 11:28Speaker 3: Ninety six percent of all cars are connected. All the
- 11:31Speaker 3: data goes to the clouds. You don't own that data,
- 11:36Speaker 3: arrow codes of the car, you preferred radio station, whatever.
- 11:39Speaker 3: But they also collect all your personal phone calls, they
- 11:44Speaker 3: collect where you stopped, and even your sexual activity. Now
- 11:48Speaker 3: I was not the only one concerns about, let's say,
- 11:51Speaker 3: monitoring sexual activities by car companies. This street seems a
- 11:56Speaker 3: famous guy got almost seven hundred thousand views. The thing is,
- 12:00Speaker 3: shouldn't we democratize vehicle data and distribute at seven hundred
- 12:05Speaker 3: and fifty billion, Thank you. We're all gonna own it.
- 12:10Speaker 3: We're gonna own the data. People thought that I was
- 12:14Speaker 3: lookerer in the brain. That will never work well. They
- 12:19Speaker 3: are forced to thanks to the EU Data Act, which
- 12:22Speaker 3: has been signed in November last year. And the Data
- 12:25Speaker 3: Act literally says, the driver is the owner of the data.
- 12:30Speaker 3: We've built this on peak and Polka Dot. And how
- 12:34Speaker 3: it works is so they go to a kind of
- 12:37Speaker 3: we call it marketplace and they ask you, hey, mister driver,
- 12:41Speaker 3: can you share your data? If you share me your mileage,
- 12:44Speaker 3: for instance, I'm gonna give you five tokens in return,
- 12:47Speaker 3: So you get paid now for sharing your own data.
- 12:51Speaker 3: You can use all the tokens that you've got over
- 12:53Speaker 3: here and pay for a portion for the insurance contract
- 12:57Speaker 3: or replacement of tires whatever on the right side. You
- 13:00Speaker 3: see it. Europe is already part of our shareholder today.
- 13:04Speaker 3: We are the only one focusing on the EU Data Act.
- 13:06Speaker 3: Then that makes a really, really big difference. The Apple
- 13:09Speaker 3: will be released in September.
- 13:11Speaker 1: We may see some of that even here in the
- 13:12Speaker 1: United States, especially as personal privacy becomes a major issue,
- 13:16Speaker 1: which I think is why we're seeing a lot more
- 13:18Speaker 1: of the Big Three starting to look at ways to
- 13:21Speaker 1: democratize data. But if blockchain is the beginning for this,
- 13:25Speaker 1: and especially if our law markers start to really understand
- 13:28Speaker 1: what this means, this could be a revolution in how
- 13:32Speaker 1: consumers could now utilized data as a way and means
- 13:37Speaker 1: to make money on it, on your own personal data.
- 13:39Speaker 1: And if blackchain is the answer, this will change everything
- 13:42Speaker 1: I think in the future of tech. All right, listen,
- 13:44Speaker 1: if you guys are not in the diamond circle, make
- 13:47Speaker 1: sure and get in. It's a great place to get
- 13:48Speaker 1: additional content. We cover projects like this a little bit deeper.
- 13:52Speaker 1: We'll do a lot more research on understanding what's happening
- 13:55Speaker 1: within these ecosystems, and we do it, you know, from
- 13:58Speaker 1: time to time. If you have some ideas, drop some
- 14:00Speaker 1: comments down below. We always love to look at different
- 14:03Speaker 1: projects out there. Of course, if you're not following me
- 14:05Speaker 1: on X do that. It's Paul Baron. We'll catch you
- 14:08Speaker 1: next time right here on Techpath.
