Latest / The Paul Barron Crypto Show / Investing in Roaring Kitty | Gamium SocialFi CEO Interview
Transcript
- 0:07All right, Today we're going to be diving into a project overview, and
- 0:10it's one that I think is relevant with what's happening in the markets, both
- 0:13from a standpoint of what and where Web three is going, but also just
- 0:18in general of how meme tokens have really kind of taken a front and center
- 0:22stage. It's going to be a go one. My name is Paul Barre,
- 0:24Welcome back in the tech path. Joining me today is mister Alberto Rosas,
- 0:28who is coming in as the co CEO of Gamium. Great to have
- 0:31you, Great to meet you. Pull Yeah, pretty exciting to be here.
- 0:36So Alberto, let's get into a little bit about Gamium in general.
- 0:40Give us a breakdown for some people maybe are notare aware of Gamium as a
- 0:45social fi platform. Give us a rundown of what you guys are up to.
- 0:49Totally. Yeah, so gaming probably right now is the second best social
- 0:53fi platform on the Web three ecosystem. So pretty much, we have a
- 0:58social flight platform where you can just to invest and buy creator tokens or what
- 1:03we call metaal social tokens that we're going to explain a little bit more later.
- 1:07The idea is that you can just buy some creative tokens and unlock some
- 1:12utility with that. Uh. It is very different the way that free in
- 1:18Tech or arena does it, because we have different economies, we have different
- 1:23utility. So it's pretty much we saw the rise of social fire and we
- 1:29and we ask ourselves, how can we do this free in tech and other
- 1:33platform way better? So with UH, we try we try to do it
- 1:38with the gaming. At the end, we're just giving UH the opportunity to
- 1:42invest in any creator and unlock utility with that creator once we invest it with
- 1:48better teconomics, with better social utility, everything. So tokenomics utility. Is
- 1:53there anything specific around the features of what you guys are doing versus say a
- 1:57front tech or some of the the social vid platforms. Yes, so Free
- 2:04in Tech, as you may know, they have a key system. Okay,
- 2:07so you buy keys and once you have one key, you unlock some
- 2:09utility. You can chat with the creator, and you can do certain stuff.
- 2:15You can see the field as well, So this is hopeful that works.
- 2:19So one of the things that I noticed is that like if you have
- 2:23keys, first of all, you are limit limiting a lot the access of
- 2:29this creator because let's say one key cost one filum, So only the people
- 2:37who has one filum who are able to invest one filum on that cretor they
- 2:40can access the social utility of that crator let's say. Okay, so yeah,
- 2:46so it is very restrictive on the way the teconomics are done. And
- 2:52it is also they are not incentivizing the holding of some specific creative token.
- 2:59The only incentive is speculation to imagine the token is going to go up in
- 3:02price. So pretty much the first difference is regarding the toeconomics aspect because instead
- 3:08of having keys, first of all, our tokens are early twenty tokens,
- 3:13so they are just normal tokens deployed on BC in this case, and you
- 3:17can invest on this Earth twenty token. So in doing that, we allow
- 3:23like anyone to buy the funjible amount that they want. Pretty much, if
- 3:29they want to invest just five dollars on the creator or they want to invest
- 3:32five hundred, they can do it. So it is more accessible, let's
- 3:36say. And also the incentives of economic incentive of the creator and the people
- 3:43who buy these tokens are more aligned because, for instance, every transaction fee
- 3:47that happens, there is a fee that goes to the crator. There is
- 3:53also a fee that goes to the best holders of the of the creator,
- 3:59you know. So the incentital line if you if you trust really the work
- 4:03of a creator, or do you believe he's going to do well and he's
- 4:05going to generate a lot of demand and a lot of transactions. Let's say
- 4:10you can earn a fee as a as a user, but also as a
- 4:14creator, you are incentivized to keep utility to your token because every time,
- 4:18every time there is a transaction on your talking and everything, you earn zero
- 4:23point five actually is a one point five a percent of fee. So the
- 4:27creator is also very incentivized to generate a lot of traction to your talken.
- 4:30So this is the first difference which is on the toconomic site that it is
- 4:35more accessible and we incentivize the creator and the user to really hold this token
- 4:43and trade it just going to aspect you to so they go and go and
- 4:46pull. Yeah, I was just going to talk. I want to learn
- 4:48a little bit about the msts, you know, the metaverse social token itself.
- 4:51What really makes this unique because obviously it's an e RC twenty token.
- 4:57You guys are running on the B and B chain what makes this you unique?
- 5:00Is it in comparison to say other you know tokens that are out there.
- 5:05Yeah, so the tokeenomics are very special in the way the fees are
- 5:11distributed and the incentives of both the creator and the and the user. This
- 5:16is also a fair lunch So the MSTR metaver social doken that's that's the real
- 5:20name. This is a fair lunch model. So we directly deployed overs twenty
- 5:28and we add the liquidity on niswab P three directly on BnB chain, so
- 5:31everything is fair. You know, you can just wait someone to launch a
- 5:34togain and buy it like normal price, no vcs, no pre sells nothing,
- 5:39so it's more accessible. It's more fair as well. And also the
- 5:44different on the social utility side, which I think is very important. We
- 5:46did a study of what socialty does cren tech and other kind of platform have.
- 5:54You know what we realize we don't believe to chat itself, to chat
- 5:58with creator if you hold the key or something like that is something very you
- 6:02know that that is going to go long term. You know, I don't
- 6:08believe people is using it too much on frantic anyway, So we really ask
- 6:13ourselves Okay, how can we improve that? And we have a lot of
- 6:15ideas, but our first thing, because gaming was born like two years and
- 6:19a half ago as a metaverse project, and we had a lot of great
- 6:24development on the metal site, so we did, okay, what if you
- 6:27can give social utility on the metaverse for the holders. So if you are
- 6:31molder of an MST, you can even interact immersively on the metaverse with your
- 6:35creator. You can go to the creator home that we call and you can
- 6:39interact voice chat and you can do you can even transfer tokens and by creator
- 6:45talking inside the three D experience, so it's a more imssive experience. I
- 6:48want to say that that we are still not seeing a lot of traction on
- 6:54the meta site, which is something normal because the market is not created yet.
- 6:57But I believe, I believe we're going to have some traction there and
- 7:01as we have other kind of other kind of social degory that we're going to
- 7:06unlock on the on the road map. So so yeah, we want we
- 7:11want to give a lot of social ability and incentivice a lot the holdings of
- 7:15the stugans. I was looking at the twenty four our top five gainers that
- 7:18you guys have had obviously Ryan Kerry leading the way there with what's happening with
- 7:24Game Stop and AMC. Likelihood, when you look at that and you kind
- 7:29of compare this to other creators, how big has the uptake been for you
- 7:32guys of just in general bringing on you know, people into the platform and
- 7:39growing by itself. Yeah, we believe. Okay, there is a transition
- 7:45that we are seeing the last years that it is transitioning from to attention economy.
- 7:51Okay, this is something that we notice. We saw that with the
- 7:56GameStop and and all of this money, and we are seeing down crypto every
- 8:00day with the memic coins and all these kinds of things. For instance,
- 8:03if Trump talks about crypto, then the Trump med coins are going up.
- 8:07You know. If someone is fighting on a boxing match and it wants,
- 8:13the price of the memicans related to that person goes up. You know,
- 8:16So do this a lot of interest in investing in attention economy. So we
- 8:24saw that and just we have, I believe, created the perfect platform for
- 8:28it. Okay, if you want to invest on the Rolling Kitty, you
- 8:30can just launch their token or just invest in in them, you know.
- 8:35And the good thing is that if rolling Code, Rolling Kitty just connect to
- 8:39the platform, he can claim his creator fees. He can just claim his
- 8:43part of supply of the talken and he kind of start creating value for the
- 8:48talken. You know, so really like you're really investing on the real creator.
- 8:52You know, you are not investing on a memic coin or whatever.
- 8:56You're really really investing on that creator. So it's something very special that we
- 9:00believe. The wall is heating too. You know, this kind of attention
- 9:05economy, and I think we have the perfect platform for it. We're going
- 9:07to improve it for sure, but right now I think we are the best
- 9:11platform for the attention economy and social BI. Explain a little bit about your
- 9:16partners because I was looking at your partner page here You've got Meta, Telefonica
- 9:20or the two that I'm interested in. Talk to me a little bit at
- 9:22how those partnerships have construct been constructed. How is this going to benefit what
- 9:26you guys are doing a game. So Telefonica is not also a partner but
- 9:33also an investor from our company since the last year and a half. So
- 9:37they are from Spain as well. We are a team. We have the
- 9:41office here in Barcelona, so we are very close and we are collaborating a
- 9:45lot of things with Telefonica on the identity side, on the metaals and so
- 9:50on, So a lot of collaboration happening there and with Meta specifically, we
- 9:56did some collaboration last year with the Meta item, so we develop a few
- 10:00things related to some AA models for them, you know, using them and
- 10:05so on, and so we are very big on AI as well. We
- 10:09have a lot of technical expertise and with some development with with Meta and Telephonica
- 10:15also well with Orange and other big companies that we are collaborating with. Yeah,
- 10:20we are just partnering with them and exploring different different areas on the identity
- 10:24side, on the meta side, on the AI side even so we are
- 10:30actually we are very active. We are very good technically, so we are
- 10:33high tech people, especially our cosios Alexandro and I. We are was working
- 10:39on Silicon Ballet, so we have a lot of experience on the tech side
- 10:41and we are just finding a lot of synergy with these big companies. I'm
- 10:46looking at gaming world and explain to me a little bit about world map and
- 10:52the experiences that are involved within this. How does this play into it?
- 11:00So we have a size plain before. We have the Creator Home, which
- 11:03is the place of the Creator. You can access it if you have the
- 11:07MSDS of the Creator, the talken of the Creator. And also we have
- 11:11public experiences which are in a map. Okay we have it on a map,
- 11:15but you can access it. They are isolated at the end, so
- 11:16you can go access experience and just interact with all the rest of the people.
- 11:22You don't need a specific MST tokens in this sched you need GMM tokens
- 11:26to access it, which are the native talken of Gamum and you can access
- 11:31and the same way you can interact immersively with the Creator. You can not
- 11:35only with the Creator, with the other users. You can transfer talking to
- 11:39them, you can invest in them, you can talk with them, you
- 11:41can do We have also some games develop inside the metad So it's really a
- 11:50way to end turn the people, you know, like you want to interact
- 11:54on this attention economy that we have created. You can go inside experience and
- 11:58just interact with other people like you. You know, so pretty much like
- 12:01it's a verynovative thing. You know, it's combining the metaphorse, social fide,
- 12:05the emersive experience. You have to plan for you guys, to expand
- 12:11that a bit. I know, I notice that, you know, there's
- 12:13a lot. It seems like there's some opportunity here in terms of the map
- 12:16itself of being able to create more experiences. Is that something that's in the
- 12:20roadmap exactly? Actually, we have developed since two years and a half ago
- 12:28we started the company. We have developed a complete rockmap on the metaborse,
- 12:31so we have these kind of experiences. We have the creator home to con
- 12:33gated things, interactions, investment, transfer money, real money inside that.
- 12:39We have a lot of nice future inside the metabs. And one of the
- 12:43things that we are doing right now is just we have a land based model,
- 12:48okay like typical samdbox, the Central and and so on, where you
- 12:52can buy lands and you can create experience with a new code tool and just
- 12:56publish it online and anyone can access your experience three D okay kind of a
- 13:01We like to call it like a YouTube of through the experience, because you
- 13:03can easily create a new through the experience, publish it and everyone can accesit,
- 13:07you know. So we are working on integrating that on the platform so
- 13:13the people even can can just create an experience and publish it and have the
- 13:18right incentive to do it as well. So everything is around the economic incentives
- 13:22and so on. But we are working on that on the mataters and also
- 13:26another social utility more on the trudy side. Yeah, okay, So I
- 13:31mean this seems like I like the angle on this from the attention economy side.
- 13:35This is something that you know, people talk about quite a bit in
- 13:37terms of especially on influencers and what we're seeing in terms of marketing in general,
- 13:43because this kind of opens up a different framework for what you guys are
- 13:46doing. There. Do you see in the idea of creators potentially brands or
- 13:52other companies that are starting to influence markets potentially going in this direction as well?
- 13:58What would the market look like for gaming in the future. Something that
- 14:05we really want to do, okay is open more the platform. That that
- 14:09means Right now, we are focusing on Web three, that's the idea.
- 14:11We have even gone into wallet, so only Web three native people can go
- 14:16and interag with the platform. But our idea is to open it, open
- 14:18it more so, integrating social logging, integrating the non custyal wallet. After
- 14:24the social logging implement on drum method by with ebit cards. So we have
- 14:30a lot of ideas because we really believe that this kind of platform in the
- 14:33future ishibit too. Okay. I want to invest in one person because he's
- 14:37going to be a great athlete, or he's going to be a great artist,
- 14:41or maybe he has an important event and and and he's going to do
- 14:45one thing specifically. So we want to be the platform to go to,
- 14:50platform to invest on creator. That's that's that's our objective, okay, and
- 14:54where we are headed and unlock social idility with that, okay. So so
- 14:58pretty much that's what we are going to do, and we're going to execute,
- 15:03and we're going to execute actually pretty fast, I believe. Yeah,
- 15:07I believe we're working. We're going to be the fastest. Well that's the
- 15:11key man right now. Speed is very important, especially the run as we
- 15:16start to see a lot more action going going forward. I was looking at
- 15:18your white paper. You guys are running on both the you know, B
- 15:22and B on the BEP twenty and the e r C twenty contracts right now,
- 15:26but you also have staking. Your tokenomics are pretty decent. I was
- 15:30looking at those in terms of the amount of deployment that you, guys,
- 15:33are already in place, a party in place, a party in place,
- 15:37a party in place, a party in place, a party in place,
- 15:41a party in place, a party in place, a party in place,
- 15:46a party in place. Keep realtility to the token. Okay, and we
- 15:50don't like the idea of Yeah, you can go with GMM and buy some
- 15:54three D objects inside the three D experience for instad Okay, guys for instad
- 15:58Okay. Guy dams for instad Okay, gues idioms for instad Okay, does
- 16:02idioms for instad o Gay does idioms for instad Gay does idioms for instad Gay
- 16:06does idioms for instad o gay does generate the demount of the product. Let's
- 16:11make the people love your product, future product. And we have more than
- 16:15fifty five thousand users around three weeks, okay, so people are really using
- 16:18our product. We have more than five thousand delective users. So we are
- 16:23we are we are new. We are new. We are new. We
- 16:30are new. We are new. We are earning more utility for the moment.
- 16:34Like a utility we have, you can access GMM. You can access
- 16:38experiences only with you have certain holdings of GMM. So talking gated experiences.
- 16:45We have also some we have also some we have also some we have also
- 16:49some we have also some we have also some we have also some. We
- 16:55have also some real utility to e GM. That means, for instance,
- 16:59you can start buying subscriptions with GMM, and once you have a subscription,
- 17:03you have certain benefit with the creator for instance, on this kind of utility
- 17:08that we know if we do it, people are going to use it,
- 17:11you know, because if we just put like a yeah, you can buy
- 17:15a creative talking with GMM, this is not a real utility because what you
- 17:21are doing is worsen the user experience, so you're going to earn less revenue
- 17:26and GMM is not going to have utility at the end. So you have
- 17:30to put the right incentive in the right place in the right moment, I
- 17:32believe, and we have been always like this, who have been developing a
- 17:34lot, and it has been always our mentality to go as slow but the
- 17:40correct steps. Yeah, well it's a good strategy, I think when when
- 17:44you kind of compare this, especially when you look at the markets, and
- 17:48I guess that's my next question, Alberto, is when you look at the
- 17:51markets, especially around crypto natives. People that are out here trading mime coins,
- 17:55they're very curious about what's happening, especially on things like what we're talking
- 18:00about, which is more attention based trading. Do you see this more for
- 18:06the cryptodigions and kind of the crypto natives or is this something that you're starting
- 18:10to see mainstream starting to maybe try things out, test this out. What
- 18:15have you guys think so far? Yeah? Right now? Like the way
- 18:19the platform is designed is especially for crypto natives, okay, Like the connect
- 18:23wallet thing is just crypt native. Like we don't bother authentication option for the
- 18:27moment, but we believe, okay that if the user experience is good enough,
- 18:33if you have a social log in, the user is spiking with a
- 18:36debit card, you know that he's not noticing at the end that he's interacting
- 18:40with blockchain. I believe if we achieve that that we're going to do it,
- 18:44then is a mainstream platform that you can use to go and buy any
- 18:48kind of creator token, unlock some modility with that. I believe we can
- 18:52achieve it. It's only a matter of user experience. But I believe the
- 18:56wall is killing too. Whilst that not only the crypto people like everything is
- 19:00around attention as status. You know, everything is around that right now.
- 19:04So so I believe if you usually experience is good enough, we can we
- 19:07can increase the target of our of our platform for sure. That'll be one
- 19:14to watch, all right, So let's talk about n f T s.
- 19:15I want before we get to roadmap here, I want to talk about n
- 19:18f TS and in general air drops. How would that apply into what you
- 19:22guys are doing with Gamium. So as n f TS, we only have
- 19:27lands, okay, NFTs, so you can buy lands which you can use
- 19:32to deploy your experiences on the future directly on the on the map that we
- 19:36saw before. And as an air drop, we have an active campaign for
- 19:41eddro points okay that you can go interact and start accumulating editor points. And
- 19:45the idea with that is to deliver a big air drop of either the gym
- 19:49and token, either some creator tokens including the basket as well for the fee
- 19:55generated. We're still discussing which kind of airdrop do we want to do,
- 20:00but the idea is that this other point is going to be for an end
- 20:02roup and and we want to be big and we want to be fair for
- 20:04everyone. Yeah, for sure. As far as the roadmap over the next
- 20:10say twelve months, a lot happening right now Web three most likely we're going
- 20:14to see a pretty aggressive market start to inch forward here, especially in the
- 20:18fall and over the winter. What are your thoughts on where you guys are
- 20:22going to be What are the next big achievements for you? So right now
- 20:26on the platform side of gaming, we are just delivering new futures and improving
- 20:33what we have every week. So every week if you follow us, we
- 20:37are delivering new things. And the idea is to have the perfect platform for
- 20:41the Web three native at the beginning. Then having all this adoption that we
- 20:47are having now, keep increasing it a good product, and then we're going
- 20:52to have more chains integrated. We're going to go probably on Base, We're
- 20:56going to go maybe on Salana, going to go more or more different chains,
- 21:02you know, to give our product to more exposure to different communities on
- 21:04the website. And then our objective is going to be to make the user
- 21:11experience way better, not only for cryptonative for everyone, So including the social
- 21:15log in, including probably instead of just ext and Twitter accounts, include Instagram
- 21:21accounts, TikTok, accounts, so you can really invest invest in any kind
- 21:25of profile. You know, you can invest on YouTube streamers, you can
- 21:29invest on tweets, you can invest on anyone with a good using experience.
- 21:34With that go to market strategy, with a good distribution, we can arrive
- 21:41two different targets. And pretty much this is the placebook for the next year.
- 21:44Okay, also adding new social utility as well. We are looking for
- 21:48a platform like Patreon. We are looking for for really social creator platform that
- 21:53really works on the webs site and taking the best ideas from it. So
- 21:59the idea is just to improve the platform, open it more for more target
- 22:03you know, more chains, and then adding more sociallytivity. This is pretty
- 22:07much an listen. It's gonna be one to listen. It's gonna be one
- 22:11to listen. It's gonna be one listen. It's gonna be one listen.
- 22:15It's gonna be one listen. It's gonna be one listen. It's gonna be
- 22:18one to grow over the last couple of years. And now to your point,
- 22:22this attention cycle that seems to be adapting both from a social media standpoint,
- 22:27but also from crypto, which seems to be intertwined right now, So
- 22:32we're gonna be watching this very closely. We're gonna be watching this very closely.
- 22:34We're gonna be watching this very closely. We're gonna be watching this very
- 22:37closely. We're gonna be watching this very closely. We're gonna be watching this
- 22:40very closely. We're gonna be watching this very closely. We're gonna be watching
