In the podcast episode titled "dcast Notes," the hosts discuss a recent song by OG that has a style reminiscent of early Eminem and is considered a banger. They also talk about the distinct trademark style of one of the hosts' voice due to throat issues and smoking weed, and how people recognize his voice. The hosts mention their recent attendance at NFT NYC and discuss the tone of the event, noting that it felt different from last year's event which was dominated by Profile Picture (PFP) projects, and this year focused more on art and relationships.

They share their initial concerns about trusting anonymous people in the crypto community, but have found that getting to know people in the community has been rewarding and has created a sense of community and trust. They recommend attending crypto events in person to connect with like-minded individuals and feel a part of a community, especially during tough times in the market.

The interviewee, Guido, shares his success in the NFT industry, selling pieces in the double digits and gaining support from influential collectors like OSF. He got involved with the de gens PFP project through a friend's recommendation and joined their Discord community. He remembers grinding in the Discord community and building relationships with other artists and collectors, including OSF, who bought some of his pieces and supported his career. Guido believes that the bond between artists and collectors is the foundation of a successful career in the NFT space, and this is also seen in successful PFP projects. He is still an active moderator in the Discord community and emphasizes the importance of community in the NFT space.

The speaker also ran a successful trading group called "Selective" for a few years and noticed that most crypto gaming projects were of low quality with recycled games and reskins. They decided to create a proper game with effort and soul, instead of just slapping crypto onto a low-quality game. They believe that gaming and fashion are the next big applications for NFTs, as gaming has real benefits such as integrating a financial system and accessing a real economy through in-game transactions. They initially built their game on Binance Smart Chain but want to move to Ethereum for better reputation, and they discuss the possibility of using Layer 2 solutions for in-game transactions.

They express skepticism about some existing games in the space, including Axie Infinity, and mention a game called "Ornate" that they haven't played but have seen some minigames. They believe that there is opportunity for both AAA studios and indie developers in the crypto gaming space, with indie developers having the advantage of creating more interesting and handmade games. They describe the gameplay of their own game, which is set in a medieval fantasy world where players are Guild Masters controlling a guild of adventurers. The game will have non-fungible tokens (NFTs) with a soft cap to control the supply, and a play-to-earn system with rewards for both player versus player (PvP) and player versus environment (PvE) gameplay. Rewards will be in the form of the game's native currency or token, which players can use in in-game shops or marketplace to buy items or sell them. The game will have systems in place to prevent runaway inflation and control the supply of tokens, including burning tokens to help maintain a fixed supply.

The speakers also discuss a game project called Crypto Sanctum, mentioning that it has custom UI and is a web app with pixel art done by hand. They talk about the challenges of creating pixel art and how it can be exhausting for artists. They mention that there are videos of the fully animated UI available to view, and there is feedback about the audio not being clear on some platforms but the video working fine on YouTube. The speakers discuss the order in which they will rate the project, with one guest host giving

In this episode, the speakers express gratitude for the opportunity to do their second show despite the challenges of NFT NYC and difficult times for many people. They highlight the incredible support from the community, with positive feedback on their show, which was unexpected but meaningful. They discuss their experience at NFT NYC last year, which gave them a new perspective on the space, highlighting the power of in-person events and the sense of community. Despite the current market downturn, they note that the atmosphere at the event has been positive and exciting, with opportunities to meet great people.

The hosts then introduce their upcoming guests, UltraDao and Corbet, and express excitement about their projects and backgrounds. They discuss UltraDao's involvement in the NFT space since 2021, creating projects, collecting art, and supporting artists. They mention some of the artists involved in their projects and express admiration for their contributions to the NFT community. The speaker also discusses a mechanism for buying and selling art in the blockchain space, which involves minting art pieces without knowing the artist's identity and using on-chain signatures to change ownership in the database. They highlight the gamified aspect of the mechanism, where the value of art is impacted by the artist's reputation and what they have built in the space, and draw from their personal experience as a collector with over 7000 pieces across various blockchains.

The speaker then discusses an upcoming event called "the mid" on April 27th, with a pre-mint closing on April 25th, and shares details about the passes available for the event. They acknowledge that the price for the passes may be considered high in the current market, but they believe it's worth it considering the importance of the project and the potential for high-value art sales. They emphasize that this project is not just a run-of-the-mill PFP (Profile Picture) project, but a well-constructed and unique experience with custom-built applications and smart contracts.

The speaker also discusses the importance of structuring the ecosystem and how it can impact the success of artists in the space, mentioning their team's experience in writing their own smart contracts since day one and working with other projects in the space. They briefly mention their team members' involvement in other projects, such as props, which is a leader in the space working with other projects to build smart contracts and minting experiences. The speaker also shares their background in web two and their involvement in startups, including founding a luxury jewelry brand in Paris called Courbet, which incorporates sustainability and ecology into its designs.

They discuss their interest in Solana, a blockchain platform, and how they initially didn't see the big difference between Solana and other blockchains, but explored it further through rarity sniffer and rarity sniper. They realized that there was a gap between the Ethereum and Solana communities, with few people knowing about Solana projects in the Ethereum world. They mention being drawn to Tezos as an alternative to Ethereum due to lower minting costs, and discuss their decision to mint NFTs backed by physical diamonds on Solana, with the goal of building a small community of 777 members. They outline their plan, which includes dropping their pricing, recalling the gate to provide token holders with access to private sales and exclusive prices, and opening up the reward to implement a unique reward system for token holders.

Overall, the episode covers the speakers' gratitude for the opportunity to do their second show, their experience at NFT NYC, their upcoming guests and their projects, their interest in Solana and Tezos, and their plans for their own project involving NFTs backed by physical diamonds.
