SPEAKER_00 (00:01):
Does my beard look
okay?
SPEAKER_01 (00:07):
You know, and that
is just how we're gonna start
today.
So April isn't just anothermonth for roar, it is a turning
point.
This is where everything we'vebeen building starts to show up
in a very real way.
Not hype, not speculation, butexecution meeting momentum.
(00:28):
And that is how we are gonnawelcome you here to your weekly
roar.
Brandon's with me.
Let's jump in.
Brandon, tell me more aboutthat.
SPEAKER_00 (00:37):
Uh, when we say we
are on fire, we're not talking
chaos, we're talking ignition.
Everything we've been uhstacking over the past months is
now lining up, and you can feelthe shift both internally and
externally.
SPEAKER_01 (00:52):
You really can.
I mean, stacking up is a greatterm.
Stacking up, stacking wins onwins on wins.
Let's start with the obvious.
The burn.
Burn, baby burn.
I know it's on a lot of people'sminds.
We're not here to talk about theexact numbers yet.
That's coming.
We're just a couple days away,literally.
(01:14):
That's an April Tax Daysurprise.
But we're here to say this.
It's happening.
And more importantly, it'shappening for the right reasons.
We're staging this and lettingyou know and understand why
we're able to do this.
We're able to do this because weare under budget and we are well
beyond our scope and roadmap.
(01:36):
So, with those kinds of hotthings working, that's not a
reactionary move.
We're not trying to manipulate atoken.
This is part of a largerstrategy.
It aligns supply with long-termvalue, investor confidence, and
ecosystem growth.
This is intentional and it'stime with everything else we've
been building.
We've been always looking atplaces where we've saved and
(01:59):
we've gotten further and donemore.
And the team has done incrediblywell.
And because of that, we'regiving those wins back to our
community.
That's just how we are here atthe Roar.
We we do that intentionally.
So that's the key.
The burn isn't the story byitself, it's part of something,
it's just a bigger narrativealtogether.
It reflects progress, maturity,and positioning for what comes
(02:24):
next.
We've talked a little about it.
We'll talk a lot about it later.
But guys, we have saved so much.
We made so much distance.
And we've done it when othersquit or left the market.
We pushed through a winter inthe crypto world.
We pushed forward for two yearswhen others left this market and
(02:44):
this type of technology becauseof governance questions and
government involvementquestions, and we are well
positioned for exactly whatcomes next.
SPEAKER_00 (02:56):
That's right.
So now let's talk about whatreally gives that burn meaning,
and that is execution.
We've made it this far on theroadmap with actual software
developed and being released,and not just released, but
evolving.
We're not still, uh, the techstack we're building is becoming
more refined, more scalable, andmore aligned with where the
(03:19):
market is heading.
That's something that a lot ofprojects never reach.
They stay in concept mode.
We're past that.
We're in delivery mode.
SPEAKER_01 (03:29):
Yeah, we are.
Another big shift, we've reducedour marketing costs while
increasing reach and investorinterest.
That's been really cool.
So that's efficiency, that'slearning that works and doubling
down on it.
So we're not just throwing moneyat attention.
Listen, there was a big move forthat in the recent era of
(03:52):
leaderboards and tokenizationfor you know X activity, and
they found out all of it wasfluff and fake and bots, and
people were farming engagement.
So we're not just throwing moneyat attention, we're building
organic momentum, and we'redoing it with bigger names and
bigger players coming to thetable.
(04:13):
Then that's why theconversations are changing.
It's no longer what is Roar.
It's how do I get involved?
How do I come alongside?
How do I get into what you'redoing with Roar?
Or how can I get some of thatover here with what we're doing?
That's exciting.
We're in a very different placenow.
SPEAKER_00 (04:32):
That's right,
Dustin.
I'm excited uh as well.
Speaking of excitement, we havea huge topic that I'm so uh glad
that I get to present.
Uh Consensus 2026.
We are finalists for the stagetime.
Let's just let that marinate fora second.
SPEAKER_01 (04:54):
I just want to
celebrate that.
We made it for the thousands tothe couple hundred.
That's right.
Maybe inside the 20.
SPEAKER_00 (05:02):
Like literally.
We'll see what happens, but I'mhopeful.
Uh and we submitted our finaldemo uh last week, and this
isn't just any demo.
It's built on our new software,tech stack, that hasn't even
been publicly released yet.
Uh, that's a major momentbecause if this hits, and we
(05:23):
believe it will, it sets acompletely new narrative around
roar and it moves us fromemerging projects to serious
player, and that kind ofexposure changes everything.
Investors, partnerships,perception.
SPEAKER_01 (05:37):
Seriously, guys,
that is the biggest news in the
whole podcast for today is thatwe've been saying we we had we
we started with we have 40projects, and then we found out
it was like 83, and now it'sover a hundred.
Yeah, in this tech stack,there's eight eight softwares
(05:58):
and projects in a tech stack,and you guys, we're picking up
partners that are joiningalongside because of what this
does and how they want to use itthemselves.
So alpha partnerships.
So that in itself is the biggestnews.
We've said it in one of our lastpodcasts.
If you listen, if you haven'theard it, go listen to our
podcast about bringing legacybanking into this world, legacy
(06:22):
business in this world, and thengo listen to our podcast and
read our white paper on Railsfor Web 2.
Web3 is Rails for Web 2.
And seriously, we're literallydoing it.
And so if you're part of Roar,we're building these solutions
and systems.
We get fees and funding out ofit, and that goes back into our
(06:42):
community and our treasury andour ecosystem so we can grow.
But beyond that, we're creatingon top of blockchains and
partnering with blockchainsright now, at least 10 plus, not
just ours, and soon to be over28 to 30.
So it's huge.
And then that being seven toeight software, we're just
(07:05):
getting started.
All right, so right now, becauseof all this, has caused us to
have to pivot.
We've got interest that'sincredible at the bigger player
level, and so we're waiting ourcompany valuation.
We're going through a valuationand audit right now because
there is interest.
And so that valuation is gonnaplay a key role in what happens
(07:29):
next, not just with the burn,but with investors and
expansion.
So this is including the RoarCountry Club.
If you've been looking at waysto get in, you're gonna hear
more about it because we're nowready for more seats to be at
that table.
It's shaping up to be a majorpiece of the ecosystem going
(07:50):
forward as far as our governancecommunity is can, you know, can
is valued and considered.
So we're talking about adecentralized autonomous
organization that over thelength of Roar will become the
governance community around thisecosystem.
Now, there's other partners andparts and pieces and software
and teams and whatever, allthose have their own play in
(08:14):
this and they overlap.
But as far as Roar's concernedwith this ecosystem, this is the
governance.
And so, Roar Country Club, man,you're just your value's getting
raised, and we're gonna betalking about what it really
looks like, what the valuationof this company is.
So, this is where utility,exclusivity, and community
intersect in a way that createseven more value.
(08:37):
So, guys, we're super excited.
We've already done very wellselling out our NFT and all of
the pre-sales and all the stuffwe've done with our token, as
well as the node sales and thegrowth there, heading into our
new now in final phasedevelopment chain that we can't
even talk about yet, where thosenodes function and everything
(08:59):
else that we've been kind ofalluding to from our white
papers.
It's coming together, and thiscommunity is getting to be a
part of where that goes.
This is exciting.
So that valuation is ongoing,and it is exciting.
It's partially based on ourtoken as well as all of the
ecosystem that you haven't seenyet.
(09:21):
Boom.
SPEAKER_00 (09:24):
All right, so let's
zoom out a bit.
The broader market.
We're seeing renewed interest uhflowing back into crypto, and
especially into projects thatare actually building, right?
Uh the market is gettingsmarter, people are looking for
fundamentals, not just hypecycles, and that plays directly
in our favor.
Uh, also, institutionalattention is increasing again,
(09:46):
and when that happens, projectswith real infrastructure like
what we're building stand out.
Uh, and timing matters.
Right now, the timing is liningup with everything that we've
been preparing for.
SPEAKER_01 (09:59):
All I gotta say is
our you know advisor in the
investment space, who's walkingwith us right now, you'll hear
more about his name later.
He's gonna be with us atconsensus, and as soon as he's
ready to be announced, we'llannounce.
But he's even saying that we'reat a crucial moment in time,
(10:22):
like everything could not havealigned better.
You've got the Clarity Act inCongress, whatever way it goes
through, it's gonna give someclarity.
You've got the SEC and the CTFCfinally saying, we're not gonna
jump in and get ahead ofanything and create more
bulletins that are reallyabusive of the market.
(10:44):
We're gonna stand back and takepart in this thing working out
and getting real eyes on whatmatters.
You've got the treasury thatbuilt crypto into its world,
even for its functioningfinancial transaction system.
You've got the Fed, the FederalReserve, who's been pushing
back, pushing back, pushingback, but we know secretly have
already been developing on theEthereum platform and put in the
(11:06):
Fed now 2.0 system.
You got Swift coming out ofnowhere saying, hey, we're gonna
do this too.
They already have.
Let's be honest.
We know about the white papers,we saw all the development,
we've been involved in the backend.
We know Google and we knowBoston Fed, as well as a couple
others in the former umleadership at the White House,
(11:28):
all were connected and workingon that process.
Brussels is not going to bebehind.
They're in this, this is coming,and it's here, and it's
favorable to us.
We have the Genius Act that madeit favorable for our stable
coins and our ecosystems.
There's still a couple things tobe meted out, but all that's
coming together, and so muchmoney left this space that it's
(11:50):
left us in a wonderful place.
Now you marry what we do incrypto and you make it rails for
AI, finance, and legacy bankingor business.
You guys, we're up front.
We're in the front of the line.
Even in our token, it's listedon token lists.
There's 17,000 tokens out there,more than 17,000.
(12:13):
And we're in the top 2,000still.
Wow.
Good job, family.
You're doing it.
There's something going on, andwe are rightly aligned and right
on time.
We are not behind, we are thehead.
So now we're seeing a narrativeshift.
Roar is no longer just an ideathat people are watching, it's
(12:34):
something people are starting toanticipate.
We've seen a massive growth onour activity on Mex C, which is
a bigger player in centralizedexchanges.
It's not the tier one, but it'sdefinitely not the tier three.
And we've been throughchallenges just to make sure
everything is right and they'rehappy with us.
And now we're seeing growth ofactivity and action and
(12:57):
transactions.
And that means there's a wholenew world of folks out there
that we've never met.
We've never met a lot of youguys who are now involved in the
roar.
So you're not just watchinganymore, you're jumping in and
you're interacting.
We see that.
Historic guys, y'all are mostlyon the DEXs.
You can't use Maxi.
We know that Maxi is largely onthe other side of the globe in
(13:18):
areas that can't get in in ourprior history.
Bitmart as well.
So those two partners have beenincredible for us.
And guys, base chain is comingnext.
So, you know, we're doing this.
March was clear on what we weredoing, and we're heading that
direction.
Now, April is where that shiftis becoming visible.
The burn, the tech, theexposure, the valuation, and all
(13:42):
of the March baseness, whichI'll mention at the end of this
podcast again, it all feeds intoone story.
And it's a story of momentum, astory of execution, a story of
being focused, laser focusedpast all of the noise and all of
the hate, because we're about tohave some fun and there's gonna
(14:04):
be a lot of love.
And we have, well, we're herefor that.
We live through the other, weare here for that.
So that execution, even beinglaser focused, but beyond the
noise and the hate, it'sbuilding beneath the surface,
and that's about to breakthrough.
SPEAKER_00 (14:23):
That's right.
So if you've been watching fromthe sidelines, now's the time to
pay attention because Aprilisn't the finish line, it's the
ignition point.
And what comes after this iswhere things really start to
move.
SPEAKER_01 (14:38):
Still to come from
March's based momentum.
One roar is heading to base.
We told you we will tell youwhen it happens.
You'll see it on X, you'll seeposts, it'll say that that's a
milestone.
We'll talk about it as well.
It has not been added forliquidity yet because we have to
do first things first.
(14:59):
It is in motion and it's readyto go.
As soon as it goes live, we'reable to launch Roar platform
season three because it'slargely connected to smart
contracts that cannot existuntil that liquidity is added.
So, just so you know, that's thewhy.
And once that's done, you knowwe're gonna officially announce
(15:19):
the date for the whitelistingand the mint of the based ERS
NFTs on base chain, which workand function with base chain on
the platform like your Ethereumones do.
And then on top of that, thelong-awaited penthouse suite is
coming because Rocle has gottensuper freaking smart.
(15:42):
Smarter every minute, literally.
You have no idea because there'sbeen a lot of work going on in
Roracle, and when ROACL's ready,you're gonna see that penthouse
suite go live, and it's gonna beawesome.
So that's what's been happening.
March has been us getting allthat aligned, and it's aligned
to go literally one raft theother.
(16:02):
So these are all tightly relatedto each other, and they're
awaiting the timing of ourevaluation.
That has to be done first beforewe start putting other pressures
that could cause our stuff topump, like burning tokens and
putting things on base andgetting onto BASE's app.
Those things can causepressures.
So we got to finish the first.
(16:22):
We thought it'd be done by now,but they're gonna have it done
within probably the next coupledays.
And you will hear about it whenwe're ready to tell about it
because it's gonna be superpumped and exciting.
So stay locked in.
This is your weekly roar, andwe're just getting started.
Thanks for being on everybody.
Brandon appreciates you.
We'll see you next time.
SPEAKER_00 (16:43):
Take care.
