Could you briefly use yourself and tell us what the dev team is focusing on as Popdex and just Open Beta? Yeah, sure. I'm happy to be back. Brian and Devs, we are currently obviously working very hard with the Open Beta launch. I was really trying to keep everything stable and performant. Obviously, we did only very big launchers including Neck-A-Pop on Monday, which will probably go into a little bit more later. And obviously for the next few months, we'll just be advertising a lot on improving the general trading experience and I can talk a little bit more in detail about that later on as well. But yeah, be back. Yeah, so good to know about that. And yeah, just can't wait to hear about what you're cooking behind the scenes and what you can with and value the community. And we will come back to product roadmap later and including some of the features, traders have been asking for. And now let's hear from the traders and ecosystem side. So that is your turn. Welcome as well. And could you introduce yourself and tell us what you focus as head of traders at Popdex? Your thing, howdy, howdy, everyone. My name is Zach Prater and you'll find me in your DMs on Twitter, Telegram and Discord. My approach is to not only grow the product, but to onboard as many traders as possible to our platform, as well as collecting your feedback to shape our product into what you want it to be. Your feedback, especially at this very early stage, is extremely important. So I'm very grateful. We have a lot of amazing traders and a lot of affiliates in this space as well. I'm very grateful for all of you being here, such as DTFN, SAM, White Rabbit, Givano, Power User. We have Efferbond, we have IVish. We have a lot of amazing traders as well. I wish I could shout you all out, Maddie V as well. And then Everum, guys, it's amazing building this product with you around and it's amazing building this product for you. I'm very grateful and happy for the space. Happy to have you here and it's amazing for you to take this job as being the bridge of all the traders and the platform. And yeah, we're going to over guests as we have a long list of guests here. So we probably would be, so first and foremost, welcome, UN and the IVish, Efferbond, Givano, AirDraw, White Rabbit, SAM, DTFN, joining us and we will later on have a round table session for the individual introduction. So for now and we'll open some of the main topics right now and share a later for the trader needs, product feedback and future of the Perpetax market. And let's get started with some of the main topics and starting with the question for Zach. So we have three matches, a long close beta, a lot of and miles down we have reached. So before we move ahead, we kind of want to look back to some of the achievements we have done. So for you, personally, Zach, what is the biggest achievement of pop-backs during close beta use? I think the, there's a few achievements that I'd like to highlight. I think the biggest achievement is going to be the six rounds of rewards that we've done and over $500,000, half a million dollars given back to our users, which I think is a massive thing to highlight, $500,000 given back to our users within a period of only a few months. That is massive. In addition to that, I think it's extremely powerful to highlight that we only recently launched on DeFi Lama. Within our initial launch on DeFi Lama, within one day, we were the 25th top-perpet X. And although I'm disappointed by 25, you know, being our number, you have to consider that we're a few months old. We were very early products and we just snap our fingers, bam, launched on DeFi Lama. 25, 25. So I think there's a lot of amazing things that highlight. I think over $500,000, half a million dollars given back to our users. And then just initially launching on DeFi Lama, I think those are massive. In addition to that, I think we've done over $5 billion in volume. I think that is a massive thing to highlight compared to how early we are, how new we are, and how exclusive we are. Almost everyone in this space had to join Popdex via an invitation code from one of our teammates. So I think it's massive to highlight just how early and new we are and how much we've grown within the past few months. Yeah, indeed. I think the close bit has laid a great foundation for what we have today. And despite we are three months old, but we're still new, a very new perfect access on the market was huge potential of course for everyone on Boeing. And moving on to the next question as we have just announced the opening of Open Beta. And can you break down for the users what Open Beta actually means for users and how ecosystem? Yeah, so for users in the ecosystem, it means that our product is live and open for anyone to use. And we have a lot of our top referrals and a top affiliates within this space now. What that means is that you're able to onboard a lot of users and affiliates a lot easier. And there's a lot of power users given to for example in this space right now. He's trying to onboard a lot of power users, a lot of power companies. He's able to do that a lot more freely and he's able to do that a lot more. He is a lot more ability to do that. What Open Beta means is our product is officially open for the world to use. So you can expect a lot more pivots. You can expect a lot more growth for our product specifically. We've only reached 5 billion in total volume and that's just in a closed beta. Now that we're in an open beta, you can expect us to grow an exponential rate. To kind of poke fun at our product team, what Open Beta means for people like Brian is that additionally he might be a little bit more stressed as he's building the product. So a lot of your feedback that you're giving us, we are going to be implementing as soon as possible. So your feedback is very valuable. As we are in an open beta phase, I'd like to highlight the topic of beta within that open beta. Yeah, especially that we have just dropped another round of feedback rewards. I think the topic was around 10k depending on the like the uh it was kind of a critical bug. It covers. So if you guys covered this cover of any kind of bug or suggestions you have for popdex, just refer to slide in any of the gas DMs, sat prater and the Brian and they will sort us out and bring out the fix as soon as they can. And moving on as we have touched on the products and I think we have some more questions for Brian as he's had of depth. And the next question for Brian is how does popdex evolve during closed beta? Can you do recap and you're what did the team learn in this process? Yeah, we learned a lot and as Zach said, right, the most important thing is to listen to your users, especially the early ones which shake the product. So I think many lessons learned, I think a few releases to highlight right, one was to really improve the onboarding experience. So we added privy social login support, email login, social logins. We had better while it's support would improve the kind of initial onboarding and kind of message signing flows to make sure you know getting your funds to popdex was as easy as possible that weren't any connection issues like we had at the beginning. We did a lot of listings, things that people kind of wanted to trade. We tried listing some memes like you know ponds and mask coin, cash cards and so on but you know most importantly we added a lot of RWA support since we launched which we know obviously is a very very big part of launching trading these days. And then the last part I think was really to improve
