   foreign let me introduce everyone to Mint base so mint base is an Innovative Marketplace built on the near protocol that enables cost and affordable Market entry for Brands developers and creators through their smart contract and developer tooling they recently integrated payment services like stripe and usdc into their platform to enhance the overall user experience mint base also happens to be one of the top contributors of Boss components in the near ecosystem

2. 0:31

   so without any delay let's hear from the founders Carolina Nate Awards cooking recently in the adminbase kitchen over to you Carolyn thank you so much vikas for your introduction I would like to enter into invite you all for our mint base grants demo day on the 28th of June in Lisbon in Portugal in our office or online so for those of you who don't know mint base is an nft infrastructure tool on near

3. 1:02

   so the background of our mint base grants demo um grants is that last year we received a uh grants from the near Foundation to issue to projects to build on near and on mint base tooling so it is actually one of the most transparent um programs out there it's all publicly available on GitHub so everybody can see how many people how many projects applied who got funded For What and we

4. 1:36

   like in total had over 100 applications and in the end we funded 17 projects and I'm sure you know many of them as well so we funded rocketo names guy and Island Nifty rent and also an um beverage tokenization project in Portugal called oh beneficial so for the grand demo day you can expect to see what other people in the ecosystem are building you can connect with 17 final projects and you

5. 2:09

   can discover over 35 open sourced open source tools that are also focused on both and Horizon will be present as well so it will be a really interesting event so please come and join either online or here in Lisbon so just scan the QR code and I hope to see you there now over tonight Marcus can we allow Nate to share a screen yeah thank you hello I will be super super quick uh so really really quickly uh what we've been

6. 2:58

   kind of messing around with lately uh in the space is artificial intelligence has kind of been a big big thing right so everyone's kind of excited I've heard a lot about it uh so we've basically kind of put our heads down and figure out okay how can we handle this uh massive onboarding issue so uh microchip gets most of the credit uh but basically we mushed meta transactions with chat EPT

7. 3:29

   and created two plugins and I'm super excited to see where this heads uh so essentially we're able to uh create an implicit account from a Chachi BT oauth connection so someone without near can create an account uh and from there we can actually start funding all of their transactions on it so uh obviously I think this opens the door for a gazillion things uh if we look at sort of the old way here's a graphql query to get all the tokens from

8. 4:01

   something uh you need this really complex system on the left on the right we have just a simple give me all the tokens owned by nate.testnet so really what you're doing is you're taking really complex uh data sets and you're you're dumbing it down to really simple stuff so with mint based search which you'll probably be able to uh install on Chachi pt4 next week uh you're going to

9. 4:25

   be able to not only read all of our data on near which is every single Mint or anything that's happening whether it's on mint base or your own contract but you're actually going to be able to make transactions from that feedback so now send this token to eater.testnet so give me information based on an information uh send it to someone else so we created this little guy that basically literally created this image from this one single command that says get an image of a dog

10. 4:55

    and mint it on beer chain contracts uh which is crazy uh the amount of stuff that we can do from here so we can I'll put this link in the uh in the chat you can actually see a full conversation of what we we did let's see if it loads uh I'll put it in the chat but essentially uh get an image of a dog uh what's my account uh transfer tokens and all sorts of other just crazy stuff so where this opens the door later is

11. 5:28

    eventually you could say I won't even go into all that I'm just gonna stop since we only have so much time so really cool stuff uh we'll see where it heads thanks
