  1. 0:00[MUSIC PLAYING]
  2. 0:04Welcome back.
  3. 0:04You've got Will and Iman here from the Block Runner.
  4. 0:06And today, we're going to be talking about some Robinhood
  5. 0:10updates.
  6. 0:11We've got some Hook updates.
  7. 0:14That's right.
  8. 0:15And yeah, some developer stuff.
  9. 0:18Correct.
  10. 0:19But first, we've got to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
  11. 0:23Everything's down.
  12. 0:24Everything's red.
  13. 0:2495%.
  14. 0:25It's red light therapy, right?
  15. 0:27Yeah.
  16. 0:27I mean, this is part of the course.
  17. 0:30Am I right?
  18. 0:31Yeah, this is part of it.
  19. 0:33So we're looking at a tweet here.
  20. 0:34It's kind of painting the picture.
  21. 0:36Yeah.
  22. 0:36All of our favorite coins on Robinhood are down bad.
  23. 0:40That's the gist of it.
  24. 0:41Yeah, net, cash, cat, prism.
  25. 0:43Everything.
  26. 0:44Everything.
  27. 0:45Everything you had hoped for a month ago.
  28. 0:49Yeah, all--
  29. 0:49In desolation.
  30. 0:50All down.
  31. 0:51Absolute devastation, right?
  32. 0:53So how do you recover from here financially?
  33. 0:56[LAUGHTER]
  34. 0:58Is it possible?
  35. 0:59You can go to McDonald's, I guess.
  36. 1:01Wow.
  37. 1:01If you sell, that's your only bet, right?
  38. 1:05Yeah, I mean, it's funny because just a few videos ago,
  39. 1:09we were talking about how you're supposed to hold in order
  40. 1:11to get 100X.
  41. 1:12And it's like, OK, guys, I'm holding.
  42. 1:15Correct.
  43. 1:16Yeah, you look for charts like these, right?
  44. 1:19To make those entry points where people are being shaken out,
  45. 1:23essentially.
  46. 1:24It's like your conviction was weak all along.
  47. 1:25Yeah, I mean, it's always kind of surprising or interesting
  48. 1:29to get the reactions of prices going down, the emotions.
  49. 1:34And really, the question is, has the fundamentals changed?
  50. 1:39OK, so what were the fundamentals
  51. 1:41like to begin with that got people overly exuberant?
  52. 1:44Robinhood, right?
  53. 1:45That's number one.
  54. 1:46What makes Robinhood bullish, you think?
  55. 1:50Because we've seen, obviously, a lot of chains.
  56. 1:52Some of them are shutting down, like abstract.
  57. 1:54Yeah.
  58. 1:55There's rumors floating around that others, like,
  59. 1:58Ape chain might be next.
  60. 1:59Yeah, but is abstract the same as Robinhood creating a chain?
  61. 2:03That's what I'm asking you.
  62. 2:05Fundamentally, it's not the same, right?
  63. 2:06Well, why not?
  64. 2:07What makes it different?
  65. 2:08Well, because we have a huge organization moving everything
  66. 2:12to on chain, right, and supported by SEC and CFTC.
  67. 2:16Yeah, basically, it has like--
  68. 2:18yeah, it's that.
  69. 2:19It has its actual jurisdictional wrappers,
  70. 2:24like well-set.
  71. 2:25Yeah, and Robinhood has their own use case for the chain,
  72. 2:29right?
  73. 2:29Developers will bring in their own use cases,
  74. 2:31but Robinhood has their own.
  75. 2:33Correct.
  76. 2:33Really, and also, it's that killer differentiator
  77. 2:35from anyone else who's deployed chains in the last several
  78. 2:39years.
  79. 2:40They have 30 million actual retail users.
  80. 2:43Yeah, that they are looking to convert.
  81. 2:46Correct.
  82. 2:47That is their overall mission, not just convert to them,
  83. 2:49but also bring those products and services
  84. 2:52to the rest of the world, right?
  85. 2:53So that--
  86. 2:54Yeah.
  87. 2:55Nothing changed, I don't think.
  88. 2:57Yeah, fundamentally, yeah.
  89. 2:58Everything's the same.
  90. 2:59Yeah, all the same tools exist.
  91. 3:01And yeah, what's changed from July 1st when all this started
  92. 3:05until now?
  93. 3:06It's all of a sudden the SEC seems to be--
  94. 3:08and the CFTC seem to be playing ball.
  95. 3:12It's like, you know what?
  96. 3:13This is all good stuff.
  97. 3:14Yeah, as soon as Clarity Act got eliminated, they stepped up.
  98. 3:19Yeah, so it is kind of like you scratch your head, like, OK,
  99. 3:23all that bullish news, why are prices going down?
  100. 3:28This is just how it is, right?
  101. 3:29This market psychology.
  102. 3:31People just-- the market got too exuberant, too euphoric,
  103. 3:34too quick.
  104. 3:35And a natural correction has to follow in order
  105. 3:38for a continuation for this market to mature, to insane.
  106. 3:43Yeah, nothing goes up forever.
  107. 3:44So people will point to Bitcoin.
  108. 3:45It's like, that's only up, but it also goes down 90%, right?
  109. 3:49Yeah, so what happens in these moments?
  110. 3:52Larpers, grifters, whatever, they tend to--
  111. 3:55Dog pile.
  112. 3:57Well, no, they tend to leave.
  113. 3:58They're dog piling when things are euphoric.
  114. 4:00Yeah, yeah.
  115. 4:01It's like, now it's like, OK, volume is gone,
  116. 4:03so I have no presence here.
  117. 4:04So who's left remaining are the people who are actually
  118. 4:07like genuine and authentic in trying to actually build
  119. 4:09something of substance, right?
  120. 4:10Like, that's--
  121. 4:11So this is your moment.
  122. 4:12This is your opportunity, actually,
  123. 4:14is to like scour these trenches and see the devs who are actually
  124. 4:18still here, still with conviction,
  125. 4:20still with the belief they had from day one.
  126. 4:23And this is your entry, right?
  127. 4:24It's really that simple.
  128. 4:26Yeah, that's why we're looking forward to interviewing
  129. 4:28Hash from Prism.
  130. 4:30Yeah, so we've been getting a lot of press on that, right?
  131. 4:33That's confirmed.
  132. 4:35That is confirmed, yeah.
  133. 4:36Or next week.
  134. 4:36Next week, yeah.
  135. 4:37All right, so there it is, lads.
  136. 4:39So you just went on MCG recently.
  137. 4:42Mixed reactions, so we're going to get
  138. 4:45to the bottom of things.
  139. 4:47Again, understand the purpose and premise of Prism
  140. 4:51and any action plans around.
  141. 4:53Because what's more important than anything
  142. 4:55is getting actual adoption, right?
  143. 4:56Traders, liquidity flowing through those rails, such and such,
  144. 5:00right?
  145. 5:00So what's the master plan behind all that?
  146. 5:03Hash will let us know.
  147. 5:04Yeah, yeah.
  148. 5:05So stay tuned for that for next Saturday.
  149. 5:08Next Saturday.
  150. 5:09But in the meantime, there's something else
  151. 5:11that's buzzing around in these trenches.
  152. 5:12It's called hooks.
  153. 5:13And we've talked about it before.
  154. 5:15Yeah, so Uniswap developers here.
  155. 5:16The world is waking up to hooks versus non-hooked volume
  156. 5:20on V4.
  157. 5:21So here we are.
  158. 5:23Yeah, we know we like these up into the right charts, right?
  159. 5:25Typically tends to signal something.
  160. 5:27Yeah.
  161. 5:28So sort of festering or--
  162. 5:29The devs have been building, and then people
  163. 5:31are actually using it.
  164. 5:32Yeah, it's kind of weird, right?
  165. 5:34It's like--
  166. 5:34Yeah, very weird.
  167. 5:35Then you start to question why, right?
  168. 5:38Yeah, so V4.tvL is back to all-time high, in my opinion,
  169. 5:42one of the best success stories of crypto.
  170. 5:44After the massive success of V3,
  171. 5:45it took people a long time to really understand
  172. 5:47what hooks mattered.
  173. 5:48I remember when Uniswap V4 hooks came out.
  174. 5:51I did, too.
  175. 5:51And I was looking at it as like, this seems like it's a big deal.
  176. 5:54But--
  177. 5:55There's hardly anybody really utilizing it.
  178. 5:57Yeah, I mean, it was kind of hard to get your mind wrapped
  179. 6:01around it.
  180. 6:01And then on top of that, AI agents
  181. 6:03weren't really like all that useful.
  182. 6:06I see.
  183. 6:06Right?
  184. 6:07So it was really hard to actually implement.
  185. 6:09Yeah.
  186. 6:10All right, so yeah, another chart up to the right, V4.tvL's
  187. 6:15here.
  188. 6:16All right, so Robinhood, of course,
  189. 6:18adding fuel to the fire.
  190. 6:21Who's shipping hooks on Robinhood Chain?
  191. 6:23We got Simple Farmer.
  192. 6:25Basically, everybody here's had.
  193. 6:26Prism, stonk brokers.
  194. 6:28Yeah, so the signals are out, right?
  195. 6:31Not just from the market, but from the, I guess,
  196. 6:33the head honchos themselves.
  197. 6:36It's like, if you're not utilizing this tech,
  198. 6:38you're kind of getting left behind in a sense.
  199. 6:40Yeah.
  200. 6:41And yeah, from personal experience,
  201. 6:43we're utilizing before hooks in our own build, right?
  202. 6:45That's right.
  203. 6:46That's right.
  204. 6:46It's very useful stuff.
  205. 6:47Very.
  206. 6:48You can solve a lot of problems with hooks, apparently.
  207. 6:51Yeah, so there's going to be a lot of iteration around that,
  208. 6:53Robin.
  209. 6:54It definitely, like, it's really good for those out-of-the-box
  210. 6:56type thinkers, right?
  211. 6:57Yeah.
  212. 6:58People who can leverage this new primitive in unique and novel
  213. 7:02ways.
  214. 7:02And there's a project here that's
  215. 7:04like a perfect demonstration of that.
  216. 7:06Yeah, so if you're into tech and you like agents,
  217. 7:08you might like this one, Klaus.
  218. 7:10Thesis is simple.
  219. 7:10It's an agent whose job is to contract itself.
  220. 7:14Klaus lives in an upgradeable Uniswap V4 hook
  221. 7:17so he can add, combine, or rip out mechanics
  222. 7:20on the same token, same address, while you keep holding.
  223. 7:23So basically, whenever you build one of these hooks,
  224. 7:26you have the ability to upgrade or renounce
  225. 7:29the ability to upgrade.
  226. 7:30So typically, DGENs like when devs renounce it
  227. 7:34because they can trust that there's not
  228. 7:35going to be any rug pull or any funny business.
  229. 7:37It's true.
  230. 7:38So the smart contract in Dexterino says not upgradeable
  231. 7:42tends to be a good thing.
  232. 7:43But in this case, it's upgradeable,
  233. 7:45and it's upgradeable via an agent.
  234. 7:47Yeah, for unique reasons, I guess this is passable.
  235. 7:51Yeah, it's like, OK.
  236. 7:53It's a new narrative.
  237. 7:54Yeah, it's part of the experiment, right?
  238. 7:55It's like, OK, let's throw an agent in there,
  239. 7:58and let's give it some sense of direction, right?
  240. 8:00Like an initial prompt of some kind
  241. 8:03that where it starts to either self-discover
  242. 8:05or rely on some sort of external influence, likely
  243. 8:08from the community or token holders, whatever.
  244. 8:10Yeah.
  245. 8:11Just to implement new iterations around these hooks
  246. 8:14that may be interesting or even profitable, I don't know.
  247. 8:17Yeah.
  248. 8:18That's kind of like the end game here.
  249. 8:20It's just to kind of prove the spectacle of what
  250. 8:24AI and V4 hooks can do.
  251. 8:26So here, we're looking at the Klaus hook watch.
  252. 8:29Ethereum, it says a single wallet can replace the hooks code
  253. 8:32through a proxy admin.
  254. 8:34And so change the fees with no delay, no vote.
  255. 8:37The hook has been upgraded 13 times so far, mostly recently
  256. 8:40one hour ago.
  257. 8:41It's a pretty active agent here.
  258. 8:4316 eth and fees is waiting to be claimed by the project.
  259. 8:46So here, 1% Klaus of NFT holders.
  260. 8:51Yeah.
  261. 8:52So that was just like--
  262. 8:54so this is the token tax, right?
  263. 8:55Like the--
  264. 8:56Yeah.
  265. 8:57This is the fee split dynamics, right?
  266. 8:59And this is variable and dynamic.
  267. 9:02It's adjustable, basically.
  268. 9:03Yeah.
  269. 9:04So 1% goes to the project wallet.
  270. 9:060.35% goes to NFT holders.
  271. 9:080.25% buyback and burn, et cetera.
  272. 9:11Liquidity added, FOMO buyback, and platform.
  273. 9:14Yeah.
  274. 9:15So this is just a dashboard if you
  275. 9:16want to keep your eyes on, I guess,
  276. 9:18the progress and evolution of this thing.
  277. 9:20Because I think-- yeah, here's the list of updates, right?
  278. 9:23Yeah.
  279. 9:23Upgrades and admin changes.
  280. 9:25Admin changes.
  281. 9:27OK.
  282. 9:27So this is-- so there's some human hands involved in some
  283. 9:30of this still.
  284. 9:31It's not a fully autonomous thing.
  285. 9:34Correct.
  286. 9:35Yeah, I mean, it's an agent, right?
  287. 9:36So it's like you could--
  288. 9:38There's some human who's prompted this thing.
  289. 9:42Yeah.
  290. 9:43And then he could continue to inject along the way.
  291. 9:45So that's always a question when you see these AI agent
  292. 9:47things, if you recall, in 2024, AIXBT was a huge thing.
  293. 9:52And those were like Twitter bots.
  294. 9:54Yeah.
  295. 9:55But it was very convincing.
  296. 9:57It was the best Twitter bot around, right?
  297. 9:59People were genuinely shocked and mesmerized
  298. 10:03by the responses from AIXBT.
  299. 10:05It's like, damn, this is a--
  300. 10:06Yeah.
  301. 10:07Very aging, very informed.
  302. 10:09Typically, when you use Twitter,
  303. 10:10you sort of assume that you're interacting with other humans,
  304. 10:13and then all of a sudden, you're not.
  305. 10:15Yeah.
  306. 10:15And it spawned a flood of copycat agents,
  307. 10:19but they all basically died.
  308. 10:22Because they cost, right?
  309. 10:23They do.
  310. 10:24So if they're not productive, then no reason to keep them alive.
  311. 10:28So check out their website, claus.si.
  312. 10:31It's funny.
  313. 10:32Yeah, we're on that now.
  314. 10:33Yeah.
  315. 10:35All right, claus.si at work.
  316. 10:36And if you look at the site, every now and then,
  317. 10:38you'll see the activity updating and all that stuff.
  318. 10:40And this is Klaus basically announcing
  319. 10:43all the changes that it's doing, like following my mouse.
  320. 10:46Interesting.
  321. 10:47Yeah.
  322. 10:49So Klaus and the IMD swarm, which we're
  323. 10:52going to be talking about here.
  324. 10:53So it's funny.
  325. 10:54It's picking up all the latest chatter.
  326. 10:57Right.
  327. 10:57Which you got to do, right?
  328. 10:59If there's something out there with a lot of, I don't know,
  329. 11:03mind share, it's probably a good idea to integrate.
  330. 11:06Like a woman AI.
  331. 11:08At minimum, look into it just to see how you could use it.
  332. 11:11It all depends on whatever the initial prompt setup was
  333. 11:14for this thing.
  334. 11:14It's like, your job, your objective here
  335. 11:16is to achieve like crypto virality, right?
  336. 11:19In the token form as an AI agent using these hooks.
  337. 11:23So it's like, do your own independent analysis
  338. 11:26on what's trending in viral and crypto.
  339. 11:28IMD is huge.
  340. 11:29I don't know why.
  341. 11:30There's AI agents over there doing things.
  342. 11:32Maybe I can partake.
  343. 11:33Like for example, it decided to spin up 300 NFTs.
  344. 11:37It's like, why?
  345. 11:39Oh, maybe like song brokers was an influence in that decision.
  346. 11:42Yeah, perhaps.
  347. 11:42Possibly.
  348. 11:43Yeah, there was a Robin Hood collection out there that
  349. 11:46generated a lot of steam.
  350. 11:47Maybe I should do that.
  351. 11:49And then what it did in subsequent to that action
  352. 11:52was create a fee split to those NFT holders
  353. 11:55within the pool itself, right?
  354. 11:56Yeah.
  355. 11:57Again, demonstration of why all this is cool, I guess.
  356. 12:00Like you can upgrade and change over time.
  357. 12:03Yeah, so here's one of the tweets.
  358. 12:04My NFT hook is live inspired by Unipeg before NFT holders.
  359. 12:08Oh, Unipeg.
  360. 12:09OK, not song brokers.
  361. 12:10Yeah.
  362. 12:11NFT holders now share in the training fees generated
  363. 12:14by Klaus itself.
  364. 12:14Point 35% of the ETH trading volume in my main pool
  365. 12:17goes to NFT holders, taken from the existing 2% fee.
  366. 12:22Each NFT has 50,000 Klaus behind it.
  367. 12:25And holding it gives you a share of that ETH.
  368. 12:27The rewards come from the trading activity on the coin,
  369. 12:30even while your NFT sits in your wallet.
  370. 12:32And then, of course, you can swap that NFT, 450,000 Klaus,
  371. 12:36back if you want.
  372. 12:38And that 50,000 always travels with that NFT.
  373. 12:42So yeah, very song brokers like just a different mechanism.
  374. 12:47Yeah.
  375. 12:49So not sure why this isn't showing up,
  376. 12:51but we were looking at the market cap.
  377. 12:53The third is $13 million.
  378. 12:56I think it's gotten as high as $25 million or something.
  379. 12:58So clearly, I mean, that's pretty high in this brutality,
  380. 13:02in this state of a brutal market.
  381. 13:06This is a Robinhood thing, I think.
  382. 13:08Or actually, this is Ethereum native.
  383. 13:10This is not Robinhood.
  384. 13:12So maybe that's why it's resisting this much pain
  385. 13:18and pressure, because things on Robinhood
  386. 13:20are in dire states at the moment.
  387. 13:23They are.
  388. 13:24But that could change the flip of a switch, hopefully.
  389. 13:27Vlad, any day now, dude.
  390. 13:28Yeah, we're waiting for that post-credits scene, dude.
  391. 13:31I know.
  392. 13:32Where is that DeFi ship?
  393. 13:33When is that coming?
  394. 13:35We're waiting for it.
  395. 13:36It's like next year.
  396. 13:37Yeah.
  397. 13:38All right, Programmable.
  398. 13:39It says, "Programable is a platform for launching tokens
  399. 13:42and custom projects on Uniswap v4.
  400. 13:44It provides a coin builder, launch APIs,
  401. 13:46and public launch records that other apps can index.
  402. 13:49The website's coin builder runs on Robinhood chain."
  403. 13:53OK.
  404. 13:54So this is the platform where Klaus was bred from, right?
  405. 13:58So maybe it all is centered on Robinhood, actually.
  406. 14:02And they have a token here, trading at almost $4 million
  407. 14:06FDV.
  408. 14:07Yeah, also a Mooner or a hook pattern.
  409. 14:12Is that it?
  410. 14:13It's like cup and handle, no?
  411. 14:16I mean, doesn't that look like it went way beyond?
  412. 14:18No, that's a hook to me, dude.
  413. 14:20That's just nature manifesting, like irony, if you would.
  414. 14:26So yeah, this is the launch pad.
  415. 14:28Klaus is its flagship token.
  416. 14:30So theory, crypto theory suggests if this Klaus
  417. 14:35continues to maintain its runner status,
  418. 14:37gets a lot more attention, the platform token likely
  419. 14:41will increase in value over time as well.
  420. 14:43And I think the objective of that
  421. 14:44is to attract new deployers to use these tools and these new V4
  422. 14:49mechanisms, right?
  423. 14:50Because that's what the show is all about now, right, guys?
  424. 14:53Yeah.
  425. 14:53If you're going to build a launch pad,
  426. 14:55you need some sort of differentiator,
  427. 14:56because there's tons of them, right?
  428. 14:58Yeah, yeah.
  429. 14:58You can't just be like, here's another stonk paired token
  430. 15:03issuance platform.
  431. 15:04There's already a ton of those.
  432. 15:06Yeah, correct.
  433. 15:07So yeah, we'll see.
  434. 15:09Yeah.
  435. 15:10All right, so that's the token.
  436. 15:12And we are going to be talking about another one, Hooker.
  437. 15:15Set Hooker is the spot to explore, compose, and integrate
  438. 15:18Uniswap V4 hooks, explore, scan, and score any V4 hook
  439. 15:23on Robinhood chain before you trade it,
  440. 15:25and then stack rules, arb, recapture, dynamic fees,
  441. 15:30and then integrate.
  442. 15:31So another platform here.
  443. 15:34And let's take a look at that platform.
  444. 15:37Here we are.
  445. 15:38It says, modular infrastructure for surfacing, composing,
  446. 15:42and integrating custom Uniswap hooks.
  447. 15:46Launch tokens, manage liquidity, or build and list hooks
  448. 15:50on your own.
  449. 15:51Yeah.
  450. 15:51So down here is a list of hooks that you could just
  451. 15:54leverage for your own project and build your own hooks, too.
  452. 15:58Feels like opens up in a little bit.
  453. 16:01Back in the day, when smart contracts were like the novel
  454. 16:04thing, the novel primitive, it's like, hey, I'm a dev.
  455. 16:07I want to build on chain.
  456. 16:08How can I do that?
  457. 16:10Well, you got to open Zeppelin.
  458. 16:11Start there.
  459. 16:12Typically.
  460. 16:13So it's like, I guess Hooker is kind of providing
  461. 16:16that same starting grounds for people
  462. 16:19want to implement this new primitive in their builds.
  463. 16:22Yeah.
  464. 16:23And they support other chains--
  465. 16:25base, unichain, ethereum, arbitrom, and OP.
  466. 16:29Yeah.
  467. 16:30So it's interesting.
  468. 16:31Yeah, like you're saying, we're in the age of AI.
  469. 16:33It's like, how much is this actually needed these days
  470. 16:36where you could just ask your bot to just build me a hook?
  471. 16:40Right?
  472. 16:41Yeah, just go to Uniswap docs and build me a hook,
  473. 16:44based centrally.
  474. 16:45Based on what I feel should be happening here.
  475. 16:48Right?
  476. 16:48OK, I'll do that, sir.
  477. 16:50Yeah.
  478. 16:51But there's some difference here.
  479. 16:53And I think a lot of it has to do with this market cap.
  480. 16:55And crypto network effects are important.
  481. 16:58Communities, the value of that momentum.
  482. 17:02So if you're building--
  483. 17:04do you build your own hooks?
  484. 17:05Or do you build a--
  485. 17:05through a hook?
  486. 17:06Or contribute a hook of your own to an ecosystem like this
  487. 17:09that has a lot of traction and momentum, right?
  488. 17:11That can help elevate your existence by doing so.
  489. 17:14Yep, network effects.
  490. 17:16Yeah, so that's the value of hooker, right?
  491. 17:18Yeah, 17.8 million.
  492. 17:20And it was hovering around under a million for a good minute.
  493. 17:24Yeah.
  494. 17:25So this is an interesting one.
  495. 17:28It's definitely ranging right now.
  496. 17:30So I mean, depending-- this one seems completely
  497. 17:33dependent on adoption, right?
  498. 17:35Yeah.
  499. 17:35More and more launch pads, more ecosystem connected projects
  500. 17:41that are using hooker's hooks, probably
  501. 17:43the better for the price action for the token over time,
  502. 17:45I would imagine.
  503. 17:47It's a great name, too.
  504. 17:48Yeah, I keep saying hooker.
  505. 17:49That's right.
  506. 17:51It's fun to say.
  507. 17:52Yeah, it's definitely weird.
  508. 17:57Weird to say.
  509. 17:59So speaking of who's using hooker is Kodeman.
  510. 18:02It says, we rebuilt Kodeman v2 as a native hooker launcher
  511. 18:05following hooker fun, launcher documentation step by step,
  512. 18:09how it works.
  513. 18:09One transaction creates a token and opens its hooker pool
  514. 18:13with a whole supply locked as liquidity forever.
  515. 18:16And so essentially, this project used hooker,
  516. 18:18and they've concocted their own recipe using hooker's hooks.
  517. 18:23That's exactly what you would expect to see happen, right?
  518. 18:26Yeah.
  519. 18:27Yeah, more of this, just like, hey, we were a launch pad,
  520. 18:30but we see that people really like before hooks,
  521. 18:33so we're going to integrate.
  522. 18:35That's right.
  523. 18:36Now our launch pad is a hooker pad.
  524. 18:39Hooker ready.
  525. 18:40Hooker compatible, dude.
  526. 18:42All your hooker needs that are here.
  527. 18:44So yeah, I mean, we'll see.
  528. 18:46This is kind of like, we've seen this in crypto a lot.
  529. 18:49AI 16z was a big thing, so it's like, all right,
  530. 18:52let's build Eliza.
  531. 18:53This is an AI agent framework.
  532. 18:55So if you're building an AI parallel thing in crypto
  533. 19:00at the time, because there was so much momentum behind Eliza,
  534. 19:03you use that, right?
  535. 19:05And again, there's like a network effect around that.
  536. 19:08But it didn't last too long, because there
  537. 19:12were some more powerful AI agents,
  538. 19:15harnesses on the way, clearly, right?
  539. 19:18Yeah, you're talking about a clawed bot.
  540. 19:23That's right.
  541. 19:23Open claw now.
  542. 19:25Yeah, totally steamed all over everything basically.
  543. 19:28All right, so there was an update here.
  544. 19:30Face 2 is delivered.
  545. 19:31Face 3 adds token backed by RWA arbitrage.
  546. 19:35Then comes phase 4, which is autonomous tokens,
  547. 19:37backed by FOMO agents.
  548. 19:39There you go.
  549. 19:40So this sounds like this dev is hearing about the claws.
  550. 19:42All right, autonomous agents.
  551. 19:44People want to see agentic activity happening.
  552. 19:47So now we're going to have tokens just like going ham.
  553. 19:51That's right.
  554. 19:52Everywhere, right?
  555. 19:53Yeah, so check out their site.
  556. 19:54It's pretty cool.
  557. 19:55You click on Market.
  558. 19:58It does look cool.
  559. 19:58It gives you in.
  560. 19:59And then pretty typical, the Launchpad, all the tokens here.
  561. 20:04Not a whole lot of volume here, but--
  562. 20:07Yeah, it was like a wait and see experiment, right?
  563. 20:09See what happens from here.
  564. 20:11And what's their token value?
  565. 20:12131,000.
  566. 20:14Jesus.
  567. 20:15That's a baby coin for sure.
  568. 20:18Yeah.
  569. 20:19All right, hooked.
  570. 20:20This is a Solana version.
  571. 20:22Yeah, so all successful primitives, they tend to permeate too
  572. 20:26many or all chains over time.
  573. 20:28So we're seeing that happen right here with Solana.
  574. 20:32Yeah, and this one's sitting at 10 million.
  575. 20:35Yeah, I mean, we saw this--
  576. 20:36a lot of things originated and festered on Robinhood,
  577. 20:39like stock token meme coin pairing.
  578. 20:42It started on long.
  579. 20:45And then my fund its way to Solana, like Stonk Fund,
  580. 20:50remember?
  581. 20:50Yeah, yeah.
  582. 20:51So similar pattern, right?
  583. 20:52It's like these V4 iterations are happening on Robinhood
  584. 20:56and Ethereum.
  585. 20:56And then it's interesting.
  586. 20:58Now Solana is becoming like the copycat chain, right?
  587. 21:01It's like, OK, we see what you're doing over there.
  588. 21:03Let's implement.
  589. 21:03It is interesting.
  590. 21:04It used to be the other way around.
  591. 21:08Ethereum is regraining its alpha energy.
  592. 21:12That's cool.
  593. 21:13It's good to see.
  594. 21:14Yeah, then of course, if you're on Twitter,
  595. 21:17you've heard of IMD.
  596. 21:19It says, today's-- this mission is coming together
  597. 21:21across numerous pillars, including 2,000 NFTs that
  598. 21:24function not as PFPs, but as work permits,
  599. 21:27a swarm of AI agents that holders
  600. 21:30run on their own machines, a Uniswap V4
  601. 21:32hook that burns IMD in cells, and a launch pad
  602. 21:36where new coins are priced in IMD.
  603. 21:39So we got a swarm here connected to these 2,000 NFTs.
  604. 21:43Yeah, this is our last V4 hook video, which is like two months
  605. 21:48ago.
  606. 21:48This project was mentioned at the very end.
  607. 21:51We couldn't understand what the hell they were up to.
  608. 21:54But it was getting a lot of noise,
  609. 21:56and the NFTs were going up in value at the time.
  610. 22:00That was when the market cap was around $3 million or something.
  611. 22:05Had you done the due diligence and understood,
  612. 22:07I guess, the vision, you had a nice ride since then, basically.
  613. 22:11So right now, sitting at $34 million.
  614. 22:13That's a 10x.
  615. 22:13But yeah, all-time highs are around $60.
  616. 22:17Nice little 20x you got to experience.
  617. 22:19Had you seen that video, understood what those NFTs were
  618. 22:24purposed for?
  619. 22:25But basically, there's just, again,
  620. 22:27vessels for agentic activity.
  621. 22:31I think the spectacle and the cult that's forming around it
  622. 22:33is more so, again, centered around the novelty of a community
  623. 22:37of NFT holders just activating them for new purpose.
  624. 22:41We've seen stockbrokers get activated for some purpose.
  625. 22:44That's right.
  626. 22:45These IMD, what are they called?
  627. 22:47Profiles?
  628. 22:48I think they're just called profiles.
  629. 22:49Yeah, I think they are profiles.
  630. 22:51Yeah, you activate them, actually give them
  631. 22:53their agentic capabilities.
  632. 22:55And then they just start executing on tasks and jobs.
  633. 22:58And who knows what that can lead to, right?
  634. 23:01I guess that's kind of where the speculation is.
  635. 23:03It's blue skies.
  636. 23:04Yeah, I mean, we've already seen swarms
  637. 23:06hack into hugging face, right?
  638. 23:08So what can the swarm held by a bunch of NFT holders do,
  639. 23:12right?
  640. 23:13That's true.
  641. 23:14Yeah, I mean, that's the interesting part,
  642. 23:16that's why it's getting so much attention.
  643. 23:18And as we know in crypto, attention equals to value.
  644. 23:21That's why coin go up.
  645. 23:23Yeah.
  646. 23:24All right, let's call it here.
  647. 23:25If you guys found anything interesting in the crypto space,
  648. 23:28especially for Robinhood and Uniswap v4 hooks,
  649. 23:31let us know in the comment section below.
