Summary 

This call covered Tellor Flex, treasuries, Algorand integration, Eth Denver and the holiday card competition. 

Whole discussion 

Nick: Hey everyone, welcome to Tellor community call, January 4th. Ah, this is the first community call in the new year. Hope you all had a great holiday. Welcome back. This one should be pretty quick. We’re just going over what we’re working on. As we hit January, what we’ll be doing and we’ll answer your questions. The first big thing is Tellor X is up on main-net, it’s going great. We’re trying to get some users there, but we’re actually getting more users come to us that are on other chains. Which is super cool. Which means that our focus is getting Tellor X on other chains. If you look at the repo, it’s called “Tellor Flex”, slightly different structure, mainly because it doesn’t have a token built into it. We’re just finalizing that up. We’re going to be deploying on Polygon test-net this week. Which is super exciting. The timeline for that is; deploy on Polygon test-net this week, test it out, get the reporter up and running in the next few weeks, and then we’ll be deploying to main-net and will be available there. We have a few users there that are kind of waiting for us to get over there. As you know, it’s not that they’re going to use us the day we get there, it probably will be early February, we have a user that’s ready to get started early February, and then probably some in March and some in April, as the development cycle takes a little bit of time, but it’s super exciting. I can see us very easily having lots more users on Polygon than on Ethereum very quickly. So, it’ll be fun. Other than that, for the development, we’ll be launching a vote mid-January, on the Treasuries. So, for the first treasury contract. We’ll be testing that, there’ll be some scripts up on GitHub, I can point you to it if you guys want to have a look, what the variables going to be. Obviously, we’re going to tell you guys, but if you want to look at the code and make sure it’s worth to invest your money in the treasury, we’d love you to do that. This is the first one, so we’ll be keeping it smaller, just testing out the waters here. That will be mid-February, get ready, we’re going to need some of you guys go and vote on it. Maybe we’ll give some incentives to vote? I know we’ve got a whole bunch of new merch. So, get ready for that. And then the last thing on the development cycle, we’ve got a grant from Algorand in December. I think some of you’ve known about. That’s super exciting, so we’ve started to build on Algorand. They don’t use Solidity, so it’ll be a little bit different. Tally is our lead man on that project, but we’re basically taking the same Tellor structure, and we’re going to put it on Algorand and start supporting some of the pieces. It looks super great. We like the Algorand team and we like a lot of things that they’re doing over there, so exciting to be building over there. And then, that’s going to keep us really busy for the next few months. Is there anything else biz-dev that we’re doing in the next few months, Ryan? 

Ryan: Yeah, the main focus right now is EthDenver. Lot of preparation going on. Getting merch. We’re going to have a booth, so it’s going to be paramount to make sure that all the tease and … teaser crossed and eyes are dotted... I think that’s the main focus right now. It’s going to be the first in-person EthDenver in 2 years. Last year was virtual, which was fun, but I think this year’s going to be quite epic and we’re going to have most of the team down there too. So, it will be defacto Tellor week, but in Denver.  

Nick: Yeah, so, super cool. I think that’s about it. Maybe... we’re talking about throwing another crypto meet-up here in Fredrick, Maryland here at the office. Anyone near watching the call, it will be around January, so... watch out for that one. Or maybe next week when Tally is back, or something. In a few weeks when Tally is back, we can go to a bar talking crypto prices with all the people in the area who wants to talk crypto. It’s always fun. Anyway, we have any questions, Ryan? 

Ryan: We actually don’t. And it’s actually a good signal, because I think people are chomping for another office hours, which we’ll have this Thursday, because we didn’t have one last week, because people were a little preoccupied with Christmas and the holidays.  

Nick: You want to explain what those are (office hours)? 

Ryan: Yeah, essentially, just trying to open up the avenue for more live discussion. Discord is great, but it’s asynchronous, and robotic via text. Trying to get this thing going every Thursday, so everyone can just have an open line of communication with the core team. Get more live discussion going, debates, whatever you guys want. Anything that’s burning question for that time, also just to hang out and chat with the core team.  

Nick: Cool. I’d also love your thoughts on another community initiative, Spuddy, do you want to talk about the Christmas cards? You know, we did a Christmas card contest. How did it go Spuddy? 

Spuddy: The Christmas card contest was a great success. We’ve got a lot of submissions. Who won? It was leich0. He basically put us all in Christmas suits, and it was comical. And Ryan was in kind of a sassy Christmas suit. We liked that one. We loved all the things that you guys did with Tally. Because he ate a sandwich one time, and that was funny. It was great. Thank you so much for submitting those Christmas cards.  

Nick: Yeah, it was a fun thing. It’s obviously not a serious crypto project wibe. But if you guys have any other ideas like that, ways to kind of keep us engaged... We want everyone to be voting and being a reporter, but there are other ways to have fun too. Especially during the holidays, we can get these other things to take off. If you guys have any other ideas on things, we could do to drive some engagement and drive some tweets and quicks, let us know. Somebody reached out to me today on twitter, because they are following me on twitter, and they asked, they want to start a derivatives project, and are like “we follow you and know you’re an oracle”. Just the fact that I’m on twitter is how we’re also going to get some users. You never know, just talking about Tellor, and showing how Tellor works, you never know who’s going to see it and how it might be useful. We all think how users will sit down and research the best oracle to use and make sure that they read every piece of the whitepaper, but usually it’s not how it happens. A lot of times they run into our project on twitter, give us a call and sign up. You never know. Anyway, super short call, but thanks everyone for coming, and see you guys in a week.
