It’s day 1905 at Ramp. Today, I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Ramp Travel, a new solution designed to make booking travel and managing travel expenses more intuitive, low-cost, and streamlined. Today, 1 in 5 (20%) dollars spent on Ramp cards go towards flights, hotels, and other trip-related entertainment - double the 10% of just a few years ago. Companies are hungry for travel as a means of uncovering new growth, but are hamstrung by outdated, expensive tools that employees hate, or consumer booking sites that might be cheaper and easier to use, but lack controls to enforce travel policies. Either way, hours are wasted at the end each month on manual expense reports and cumbersome reconciliations. But, these tradeoffs don’t need to exist. Companies deserve total control over their travel spend without being saddled with fees. And their employees deserve a delightful booking experience without the additional work. We’re excited to deliver on this vision with Ramp Travel. Our mission has always been to help companies spend less money and time, and this launch is a significant step towards that goal. Employees can book flights and hotels directly through Ramp, with real-time visibility into what’s in-policy and dynamically adjusted rates based on travel destinations. On the trip, Ramp AI handles the rest. On the ground, the quality of life improvement for employees is substantial. Receipts are automatically assigned to trips, and all expenses are seamlessly integrated into our platform. Put more simply, on other platforms, you have to do your expenses as you go (or 1-3 months later); on Ramp, your expenses do themselves. As the saying goes, “your margin is our opportunity.” We are not a travel company and aren’t in this to take price, we’re a savings company and are in this to deliver value, control, and a better experience. Our new partnership with priceline allows us to offer our customers access to a global selection of inventory from major airline partners and hotel affiliates at competitive rates, while maintaining the high level of control and visibility that Ramp is known for. Rather than ratcheting up the price through hidden fees, all savings are passed directly to our customers. We’re excited to see how Ramp Travel helps businesses streamline their travel processes, save money, and enhance the overall travel experience for their employees. As always, we love feedback, so try it out and let us know what you think.

What started as an event, became a series of events, it became a movement. Long before the events, Islanddao has been around since the early days of the Solana ecosystem. A group of power users. A Service DAO. A Network State. A movement. 🏝️ With just three events in little more than a year, Islanddao has already cemented itself as one of the most prominent irl events and communities for builders. It's only natural we're expanding. New leaders emerge, new destinations, new tech. 2026 will be our most expansive year yet, with (at least) two destinations: - Koh Samui, Thailand, 03-28 June 2026 🇹🇭 - Florianópolis, Brazil, October 2026 🇧🇷 Superteam Brasil will be leading the charge in Brazil and we are excited to pass the baton and grow. Together. Two months of connecting, shipping, coordinating and putting amazing blockchain tech to actual use. The NFT, the mobile app and more. Scaling Keeping IslandDAO for the future The Islanddao model has always been about hosting, empowering, connecting the best builders and founders in exceptional venues and locations all around the world, while expanding the movement to more and more countries. We’re thankful about our incredible sponsors who’ve been supporting us over the years but in order to make Islanddaos sustainable, starting from v4, a paid ticket will be required in order to attend. To ensure we can continue expanding to more countries and providing the world-class experience you’ve come to expect, we are evolving our model. Starting with Islanddao v4 in Thailand, we are introducing a ticketed entry 🎟️ This isn't just a fee; it’s an investment in the community. Each ticket covers a week of access to the event: Five days in our premium co-working house, plus an exclusive weekend adventure. Ticket sales for IslandDAO v4 Thailand are now live, and we’re doing things differently. 🇹🇭 Islanddao isn't just a physical location. It’s a digital ecosystem. At the heart of our hackerhouse is the Islanddao PERKS collection. We’ve re-invented the NFT experience through our custom app, turning your onchain identity into the "operating system" for your time at the event. Your PERK NFT is not just a collectible; it is essential infrastructure. It's your power to shape Islanddao! Run the event onchain Vote on house decisions and influence the event’s direction, including Launchathons and Hackathon participation and collective decision-making. House Interactions Your PERK is your key to the physical world—from entering trading competitions and signing up for workshops to completing location-based missions that trigger in-app rewards and surprises. Here is how the v4 ticketing system works: The Ticket & The NFT Every IslandDAO ticket is anchored to an NFT. This isn't just a digital collectible—it is the essential infrastructure that grants you access to all our on-chain events and the co-working house. For the IslandDAO Family: If you already hold a PERK NFT, our app makes it seamless to attach your ticket to your existing on-chain identity. For New Builders: Your journey starts by joining the wider IslandDAO family. Before securing your ticket, you’ll need to acquire an NFT from our PERKS collection. This NFT is your essential onchain identity—once you have it, you're ready to purchase your ticket and unlock the full hackerhouse experience. The Ultimate Perk: Free VIP Access The "All 12 animals” legend is real. We reward our most dedicated collectors who have powered this movement from the start: Hold all 12 animals from the Perks collection? You are eligible for a VIP Pass. This grants you full access to the entire event for free. Ready to ship in Thailand? Whether you are a long-time holder or joining us for the first time, your journey starts on-chain.

$MONG OVERVIEW Intro: $MONG was the first meme community created by anti-crypto US Congressman Brad Sherman in one of the funniest speeches of all time. $MONG represents a meme-centric, pro-crypto movement in direct irony with Brad’s views. History: The MONG community formed in late 2021 after Brad’s hilarious congressional speech. The community grew exponentially and drew tons of attention across the web3 industry. Around this time, an established NFT company called META COLLECT decided to get involved and released MONGS NFT. The NFTs were an instant success, minting out in 16 minutes. Unfortunately, the original token the community rallied around was rugged by an anonymous dev who has since done the same to hundreds of other tokens. Instead of completely disbanding, the community rallied around Meta Collect and the NFTs. Meta Collect continued to work through the crypto bear market in 2022 & 2023 to bring value to holders, with plans to re-launch $MONG, this time supported by a doxed and reputable team. In mid-2023 they launched $MONG, which was an immediate success running up to a $240 million mc, second to only $PEPE in a mini-bull market. Bear market conditions followed market-wide, but the team and community kept working despite the usual fud due to prices decreasing. Over the past few months, significant development has occurred and $MONG is primed for a massive run in the next major bull market. Mongs NFTs(MONGS NFT): The NFTs were released nearly two years ago and have done over 2,300 ETH in volume on OpenSea. The release was a resounding success as they were minted out in 16 minutes in an extremely fair launch. Everyone who wanted to participate could – no gas wars, no doing backflips for a whitelist spot, and a low mint price. The NFTs pair perfectly with the MONG meme, including; crypto coins, hamsters, cobras, mongress backgrounds, and much more. They are genuinely on-theme and are a collector's dream with numerous, recognizable rare traits. The NFTs are a vital part of the MONG ecosystem and will be incorporated into Kudoe (KDOE) web3 game. There have also been multiple coin claims for NFT holders with plenty more coming. Credit to Jon Trafford for the excellent artwork on these! Mong Ordinals: The team was ahead of the curve on Bitcoin Ordinals and inscribed a collection of 420 Royal Mongs under 100k inscriptions! Check them out here: MONG X Spaces: Run by the best spacehost in web3 Rep. Ryan. Every week multiple official and non-official spaces drive excellent community engagement, especially considering we’re still in somewhat of a bear market. There’s a weekly AMA space where all updates are discussed and anyone can ask questions with @toolegitcypto, one of the founders. There are also numerous collab spaces with other exciting projects. Meta Collect: The team behind the entire MONG ecosystem, check them out here: They have an awesome IRL NFT art gallery. MONG Swap – powered by $COBRA: Safe and easy DEX, especially for those new to web3. Only well-intentioned projects are hard-coded into the swap. No more copying/pasting complicated contract addresses. Check it out here: MONG Pairs: The mong community is filled with talented individuals capable of starting their own projects paired with MONG. They are all easily acquired via Mong Swap. More projects will be added soon; here’s a brief list of current pairs/partners. $COBRA – Utility token for Mong Swap $HAMSTR – Degeneracy, community, NFTs $CONG – MONG community coin and DAO with a pro-crypto mission $CMON – Web 3 Casino, poker events. $KDOE – Web 3 Gaming $MING – Staking, scaling, NFTs MONG Anthem: Incredible meme anthem created by the talented 1MPROV.

A few words about the MANTRA | The EVM L1 for RWAs situation — from our perspective. BlockHunters has been a validator and community builder for MANTRA since even BlockHunters was LIVE. We’ve supported the mission of bridging real-world finance with onchain infrastructure, and we’ve witnessed the team’s resilience and responsiveness firsthand. This recent period has tested the strength of the community, but we believe it also highlights MANTRA’s willingness to listen, evolve, and act with integrity. We stand behind the project, its leadership, and its future — and we’re proud to continue building alongside them. Two weeks ago, the price of $OM — the native token of MANTRA Chain — suddenly crashed. People were confused and upset. Many thought the MANTRA team might have sold tokens, causing the drop. But according to current statements from the team, that is not what happened. What actually occurred was a liquidation cascade on centralized exchanges. That means some people who had borrowed money to hold $OM were automatically forced to sell when the price dipped — and that selling triggered more selling, like a chain reaction. The end result? A fast and painful crash. Understandably, the community was shaken. In response, MANTRA’s founder JP Mullin has made a public and symbolic commitment: he’s burning all of his 150 million $OM team tokens — permanently removing them from circulation to restore trust. BREAKING DOWN THE SITUATION – COMMUNITY-SOURCED SUMMARY A respected community member, Crypto Fundamentalist, shared a helpful breakdown of the current state of the $OM situation, based on JP’s public updates and community communications. Main takeaways: - No sales by the Mantra team during the price crash. - Evidence of large liquidations on centralized exchanges triggering a cascade. - A token buyback and supply burn program is coming. - JP has committed to burning his own allocation. - A dashboard with live token bucket balances is in the works. - Further transparency reports (including fundraising history) are expected. - Legal investigations are ongoing. - More clarity to come, especially from exchange-side data. 150 MILLION OM BURN – SYMBOLIC AND STRATEGIC JP Mullin has committed to burning his full 150 million OM token allocation. These tokens were originally staked at MANTRA’s mainnet launch in October 2024 to help secure the network. Here’s how it’s going down: - The tokens are currently unstaking - They will be sent to the burn address on April 29, 2025 - This burn will reduce the total supply of OM by 8.24% ON-CHAIN EFFECTS: APR BOOST FOR STAKERS Once the burn is complete: - Total Supply: Decreases from 1.82B → 1.67B OM - Staked Tokens: Decrease from 571.8M → 421.8M OM - Bonded Ratio: Drops from 31.47% → 25.30% - APR Increases: Stakers benefit directly from higher yields This move improves tokenomics while rewarding long-term participants in the ecosystem. TOKEN BUYBACK PROGRAM – STILL TO BE ANNOUNCED MANTRA is also planning an official token buyback and burn program, potentially targeting an additional 150 million OM. This would bring the total burn to 300 million OM, further reducing supply. While details are still in development, this initiative is expected to strengthen OM’s position in the market. WHAT IS MANTRA? MANTRA is a regulatory-compliant, real-world asset (RWA) Layer 1 blockchain. Built for developers, institutions, and the next wave of tokenized finance, MANTRA offers: - RWA tokenization infrastructure - Compliance modules and permissionless access - Interoperability with major blockchains MANTRA holds a VARA license from Dubai to operate as a Virtual Asset Exchange, Broker-Dealer, and Investment Management entity. JP'S OFFICIAL STATEMENT (25th April 2025) “This has been humbling. And heartbreaking. We need to take a moment to regroup and make sound decisions. I promise that our team won't rest until we've made this right.Every day, we continue to investigate what happened and develop plans to prevent it from happening again. Next week at TOKEN2049 in Dubai, I’ll be speaking and releasing concrete next steps for MANTRA — including enhanced governance, transparency reports, and the full execution of my token burn.We’re listening. We’re working around the clock. And we’re not backing down from the responsibility we owe to this community.”— JP Mullin 🫡🕉️ WE BACK MANTRA At BlockHunters, we’ve had the privilege of working closely with - across multiple collaborations and community efforts. Through the ups and downs, one thing has remained clear: MANTRA is building for the long term. Their transparent handling of recent events, commitment to decentralization, and push for token-holder alignment earns our full support. We stand behind MANTRA and their mission to redefine the tokenized asset space. Last year, we had the pleasure of welcoming JP on our podcast — long before this incident — for a deep dive into MANTRA’s vision, regulatory alignment, and the future of tokenized finance. 🫡🕉️

The Aegis Dapp has been under development for several months prior to the launch of $AEGIS and with that we have been able to build what we believe has the potential to change how users go about their day to day security. We are thrilled to share our progress and truly exciting news with you all. 🎯 First things first, at Aegis, we want to make it clear that the value of what we seek to bring to security across the blockchain, comes from our big vision, our strong team, and our commitment to long-term goals. ℹ️ Let’s kick this off with some information that is constantly happening, which is behind the scenes. Our full team is dedicated to the opportunity that lays ahead of us with becoming the leading voice/name for security, grasping every aspect with innovation, hard work, passion and commitment to see this sector grow. Everyone is aware of how important security is, a heartwarming mention to Messari for including us on how they see this sector growing rapidly and pushing a 10 Billion evaluation. We take that recognition with full responsibility and gratitude as we've been working hard on some really powerful stuff that could change the game for our industry. If you read the title and report itself, I’m sure that’ll give you some insight to what’s coming, and to the vast extent of what you can expect Aegis to be working towards. —> 🤝 This comes from teaming up with others within this sector and coming up with new tech to projects driven by our community, within the pipeline you can be confident that what we are building will push the cryptocurrency industry as a whole into a better future, the magnitude to what Aegis brings will not stop until we can confidently say, “Negative security reports across the blockchain are at an all time low, thousands of users are satisfied that Aegis is protecting them and their assets.” We're sticking to our vision no matter what the market does or whatever else comes our way. We plan to build what we set out to and we will see to it that our ecosystem is met. We've been working on some pretty amazing products that will be available within our Dapp, let’s go over what we offer: * AI Audits * Live Monitoring * Penetration Testing * Bug Bounties * Live Watchdog * Token analytics for everyday users, developers, teams, auditors, institutions, investors. ⬇️ Let’s break it down for you in some simple steps: AI AUDITS: We have trained our LLM models as AI AGENTS, these consist of 3 people ( AI AGENTS ) for the audits that are performed. - Audit - Reviewer - Judge Each one analyzes with a different personality, let’s check what personalities our AI AGENTS consist of: 3 different perspective auditors. 1 - Fine-tuned model x amount reads the code and generates the audit. ✅ 2 - Model x amount reviews the code and fact checks thoroughly. ✅ 3 - Model x amount ranks the code based on the severity outcome. ✅ ⌚️ Live Monitoring/Watchdog: The Live Monitoring/Watchdog system is designed to provide real-time surveillance of smart contracts, ensuring the detection and prevention of any potentially harmful transactions or malicious activities. Through the utilization of an AI Agent model, the system is trained to proactively identify and thwart suspicious behavior, thereby safeguarding the integrity of the smart contracts. Also, a paid sophisticated threat detection model is available for more intricate protocols and Dapps, offering an advanced level of protection against potential threats. This proactive approach is crucial in mitigating the risk of exploitation and ensuring the security of the smart contract ecosystem. 🖊️ Pen Testing: Our platform offers Pen Testing services to developers, providing a controlled environment for whitehat hackers to simulate attacks and identify vulnerabilities in smart contracts and protocols. In addition to human whitehat hackers, our AI Agents function as Red and Blue teams, actively engaging in simulated attacks to stress-test protocols and identify potential weaknesses. This comprehensive approach allows developers to proactively identify and address security issues, ultimately enhancing the robustness and resilience of their projects. 🕷️ Bug Bounties: Our Bug Bounty listing platform provides developers with the opportunity to list their protocols and offer bounties to white hat hackers for identifying vulnerabilities. By aggregating millions of bounties from various platforms and utilizing AI tools, we streamline the testing process, reducing up to 80% of the workload typically associated with security testing. This allows developers to efficiently identify and address potential vulnerabilities in their protocols, ultimately enhancing the overall security and resilience of their projects. 🪙 And lot more token analytics features for regular users, this will give you the opportunity to explore our Dapp for yourself and have some fun diving into the security platform of the future! I’m sure you’re excited to try it all out yourself, which is why we have some exciting news to bring to the #Guardians of the blockchain! But just before you continue the read and see the beans have been spilled, we have to take this opportunity to share with you that this large step to becoming a security leader is but only 20% of what we have revealed. This will be at the core of what Aegis stands for and hopes to achieve. The focus here is upon our Dapp, and in time we will slowly bring forward information/updates regarding segments of what makes Aegis a force to be reckoned with. Now that you’re fired up and excited to all of the announcements to come, let’s get to the news you’ve been waiting for! 🎉 We’re spilling the good news, and are happy to say we are now set for public release! The team at Aegis are overwhelmed with the development, support from teams, community, partners and more on what we believe to be an institutional-grade product. But the fun doesn’t stop there, this marks the start of what we aim to become, as it will take time and cycles to become better and better. Constant advancements will be set in place to attain the goal of achieving blockchain security. A statement from our CEO- Brian Hunt: “I can confirm from the security conferences I attended with Centralized security firms Peckshield, Hacken, Certik, BlockSec presentations, they are trying to achieve something similar and it will take them years. Decentralized AI for Security!” This initial drop of our dapp will be to get users signed up to gain access, in which we’ll whitelist users to get the ball rolling. 📣 To end this segment, let’s get the party started with the long awaited Aegis Ai Security Dapp and sign up now!

Dear LA, The industry is not coming back. In the entertainment capital of the world - “Hollywood” - there are fewer television shows and movies being produced today than when Governor Newsom was arresting people for going to the beach. The downstream carnage is piling up across our city, and we aren’t going to shame or strike or tax our way out of it. Drive down Sunset Blvd and you’ll see countless “Jay Luchs - For Lease” signs draped like flowers at a funeral. Ask your friends working in retail, restaurants, or real estate just how bad things are, and you’ll be reminded that every business in our city flows downstream of the entertainment industry, the sword that LA lives by, and dies by. Rick Caruso, native Angeleno, creator of the Grove, & former mayoral candidate, has recently begun pleading to “bring Hollywood back,” ironically via TikTok, in order to protect all of the adjacent “below the line” businesses. It is the right end goal but the wrong strategy. But what can Mr Caruso do to bring Hollywood back? Ask the unions to ease up? They run this town, even when they cut off their nose to spite their face. Ask Sacramento to give up their fruitless addiction to over-taxation & regulation? It would be easier to convince Count Dracula to give up blood. Ask consumers to change their tastes and abandon TikTok? He’d certainly have my blessing, but that ship has sailed. We can build our way out of LA’s cost-of-housing problem, as Caruso has rightfully pointed out, but more housing alone won’t be enough to save Los Angeles, any more than it would have been able to save Detroit after their own respective monopoly [automobiles] crumbled. Beyond rebrands & gimmicks & political rhetoric, the time has come for a complete product refresh, starting with a reimagining of how LA entertains the world. My idea is simple: pivot Los Angeles from the capital of production to the global capital of LIVE entertainment, events, & hospitality. Almost everyone needed in production, and every business downstream of production, has a year-round parallel role to offer in the AI-proof world of LIVE events. Actors can continue to delight audiences, but with a greater emphasis on in-person performances. Production services can become event logistics providers. And for everyone else it will be an all-hands-on-deck effort to ideate & create the new California dream. Outside of the highly protected walls of Disneyland, a few gated communities in Brentwood, and the smoothie bar at Erewhon we’ve earned a bad reputation. The tourist consensus is that LA is dirty, dangerous, & disappointing. New travelers come to LA as a bucket list item, most vowing to never return, which never seemed to bother anyone, perhaps because previously we just didn’t need their business. We need to become the city that people want to date, not take out for a one-night-stand. And that starts by no longer acting like the prom-queen who peaked in high school. We need to collectively clean up & reorganize our entire city from LAX-it’s uber-lot-from-hell all the way to the open air drug markets surrounding our hotels. And I’m sorry if this hurts Mayor Bass’ feelings, but our inability to manage our addiction & mental health crisis should not be the burden of our guests. The easiest place to start is Hollywood, my home of 18 years. 10,000,000 people travel annually to the Hollywood Walk of Fame despite its dubious honor as “the worst tourist trap in the world.” Imagine a walk-of-fame permanently closed to car traffic, protected by security, with an open-carry-beverage farmer’s market, minus the pushy hustlers, that takes over the asphalt, leaving the stars for guided experiences. Why-oh-why do we expect travelers to care about stars from 50 years ago when we refuse to make any effort to give them minimal context? I see an LA that can take the same movie magic that made it the best marketed city on earth, and use it to deliver a travel experience that warrants a 2nd, 3rd & 4th helping. The Olympics & World Cup both present once-in-a-generation opportunities for Los Angeles to reintroduce itself on a global stage. But these tentpole events should be considered the grand re-opening of LA, not the grand finale. Every celebrity on earth should already be living here, assuming they haven’t fled for their family’s own well being after we seemingly abandoned law & order sometime around 2020, so it is easy to imagine around the clock creator driven events led by Gen-Z stars from Mr Beast to Alix Earle, galvanizing their fan bases alongside our own versions of Graceland for names like Cruise, Hepburn, & Kobe. This plan offers a little bit of something for everyone, even our wealth-gap obsessed activist class, as hospitality outcomes are flatter and more egalitarian, something our Hollywood elite at least claim they want. The biggest challenge to making Los Angeles the LIVE entertainment capital of the world will be getting our political leaders to stop sabotaging us with endless red tape, excuses, and kleptocracy. Rampant political corruption has been enabled by LA’s toothless media who, aside from Elex Michaelson & Bill Melugin - both formerly of FoxLA, have been unable to hold our politicians accountable. Reality TV star turned Influencer turned mayoral candidate (as of yesterday) Spencer Pratt has been effective in keeping the media from completely ignoring the victims of the Palisades fire, but LA still considers my former employers - KTLA & the LA TIMES- to be the watchdogs of record. Without mainstream media support I fear our new media warriors won’t be enough to prevent leaders like Gavin Newsom & Karen Bass from continuing to pillage California with a trail of failed programs, despite bottomless budgets, that make Minnesota’s recently unearthed $18 billion fraud scheme seem like, forgive my pun, kiddie stakes. Can someone please light the Bat-Signal for Nick Shirley? Gotham *cough cough* I mean LA needs him. Some might remember in the last mayor's race when Karen Bass said that if we elected Rick Caruso “he’d just turn LA into The Grove!” I believe the Grove’ification of LA is exactly what we need to successfully pivot as a city, and it would ultimately mean cheaper housing, better jobs for everyone, and happier repeat travelers. So to echo Elex Michaelson, who aptly quipped back at Bass, “what’s wrong with that?” But why hasn’t Caruso declared himself in the next mayor’s race? Maybe it’s because he has his sights set on a California gubernatorial run or maybe he just doesn’t want to risk another disheartening defeat. Not even his inner circle knows what he’ll do next. But I do know one thing… Many of the most successful people in the world call California home and we are going to need them if Los Angeles is ever going to make its comeback.

First of all, we here at AMGI want to thank you all for being on this journey with us. We have been extremely busy. Over the last few weeks we have delivered a huge early access patch to My Pet Hooligan, delivered a new on-chain governance solution with WinVote, brought back NFTs in game, started testing the Street Kred system, made some new hires, delivered a new site for AMGI Studios and smashed the largest gaming event in the USA, PAX West. What does all of this mean and importantly what is next!.... PAX West You have seen the videos, you know the vibes were on point, but let's dive deeper into this and what the key takeaways are. PAX West was completely different to the WAGMI Crypto events that we are mostly used to in this space, although these are always fun and important, when creating gaming products, it is also important to get directly in front of people who have a passion for gaming. That's what PAX West was, hosting over 100,000 gamers who just want to play games and have fun. PAX West was a great success for us on many fronts. It confirmed that we have something special in our hands. Gamers loved both the brand and the game and were eager to get involved. It opened up new exciting opportunities with gaming and hardware companies. It was a blast seeing event goers from Day 2 onwards wearing the My Pet Hooligan t-shirts around the city. It was great to see parents playing the game together with their kids. The choices to not include blood and gore made a huge difference and have opened some new unexpected doors for us. If we truly believe in the progression and adoption of this industry we need to move beyond degen products and into real life consumer products that people can truly enjoy. That's what we are here to do, no matter how difficult it is, and no matter what the current ‘meta’ is. We have been here for many years grinding day in and day out and are still here today delivering like we are the new kids on the block trying to prove ourselves. The Game PAX West marks the end of a phase of the project, whilst we now posture more into continued efficiency, growth and retention. The game is not feature complete by any means yet but the foundations are strong. There are a number of features still being developed, including a progression system, consumables system, further build out of questing, token utility and more. As these are continuing to be developed we also continue on our journey to make the game more accessible. This will start with Steam and then Consoles. A Microsoft rep at PAX told us “we are going to make it”, who are we to disagree!... Lots of new ideas, lots of new feedback to work from and a renewed drive and hunger which are only going to help make this an even more compelling and fun game. The Web3 Marketplace In the coming days, Version 1 of the My Pet Hooligan Web3 Marketplace will be going live. Version 1 for now will allow for the trading of My Pet Hooligan NFTs, OG Hooligans and Zuckbots for $KARRAT. It will also serve as the marketplace for all of our upcoming in-game blockchain assets. This will eventually become part of your online My Pet Hooligan central hub and will include features such as rentals and subscriptions. It's been a long time coming but it shall be here very soon. Everything's coming together, one step at a time. It is important to note that there are many pieces of a complex puzzle that must come together in order for us to succeed. Between payment solutions, L1 & L2 blockchains, wallets, distribution platforms and the laws of the land. We are in uncharted waters and continue to do things in the most flexible ways possible to ensure we have strong resilience with our operations. The MPH website is next on the list for an uplift too as well as an overhaul of the user accounts system UI/UX. Team We continue to strengthen the team bringing in new hires and stepping up individuals from the community. Some of the new resources being brought in include a new Game Producer, Senior Game Engineer, Senior Blockchain Engineer and the former Dean of the Epic Unreal Fellowship Programme.

Access to WinVote for other communities and organizations wishing to use WinVote will be secure through licenses that utilize $KARRAT.

First of all, we here at AMGI want to thank you all for being on this journey with us. We have been extremely busy. Over the last few weeks we have delivered a huge early access patch to My Pet Hooligan, delivered a new on-chain governance solution with WinVote, brought back NFTs in game, started testing the Street Kred system, made some new hires, delivered a new site for AMGI Studios and smashed the largest gaming event in the USA, PAX West. What does all of this mean and importantly what is next!.... PAX West You have seen the videos, you know the vibes were on point, but let's dive deeper into this and what the key takeaways are.

From Creator to Founder: The Rollercoaster Journey of Building Chatter Social Man, what a journey it’s been so far. Four years ago, I was just another creator, spending late nights on Clubhouse during the height of the pandemic. Like so many others, I was searching for connection, for community, for something meaningful. But what I found there wasn’t just connection—it was purpose. Alongside my brother, Jonathan Bing, we built a nightly show that reached over 5 million people. Imagine that: 5 million lives touched by conversations that felt real and unfiltered, all on a platform that at its peak had 10 million monthly active users. Clubhouse was magic. But then the decline began. Watching the platform struggle, I couldn’t help but reflect: what made it great? What went wrong? And what could the future look like if we did things differently? The Spark of Chatter As a content creator, I understood the needs of both creators and users. I knew what excited people, what kept them engaged, and what made them leave. Clubhouse had tapped into something special, but it had missed the mark on scalability and sustainability. By September 2023, I couldn’t stop thinking about the potential for something new—something that brought back the magic of real-time interaction but made it scalable, engaging, and sticky. And so, I set out to build Chatter Social. But I wasn’t a tech founder. I didn’t have a background in software development or a network of Silicon Valley insiders. What I did have was determination and the belief that if I could bring the right people together, we could build something extraordinary. Building the Team The journey to build Chatter started with assembling a team. Through my network from my days on Clubhouse, I found Samir, my first CTO. He believed in the vision and was instrumental in getting the project off the ground. Shortly after, I connected with Tyler, our Head of Design, whose creativity brought life to our ideas. A developer joined us soon after, and we were off to the races. By the end of 2023, Samir had to step away due to other commitments, and we promoted the developer to CTO. At the same time, I brought on Banko, a Sony music executive, as our CMO. Banko’s connections led to one of our biggest early wins: landing Davido, a global superstar, as an owner-ambassador. To this day, I still marvel at the fact that Davido believed in our vision when all we had were Tyler’s Figma designs. From Dream to Reality Early 2024 was a whirlwind. We hired Yurii and Vasyl, two developers from Ukraine who brought incredible skill and dedication to the team. Vasyl, in particular, stood out as a leader and has since earned an equity position in the company. But despite these wins, we were facing growing pains. Our new CTO struggled to meet deadlines, and as a result, I found myself constantly pushing back the launch date. What started as a January release turned into February, then March, then April, then May. By then, people on Twitter Spaces—where I had been hyping up the platform—started doubting if we even had a product. Launch and Lessons June 1, 2024, marked a turning point. It was the day my son Noah was born and the day we launched Chatter in private beta. We started with just 40 users, but by the end of the month, we had grown to 1,000. The engagement was unbelievable. Users loved it, even though we had launched with just one feature: live rooms. This represented less than 20% of what we had planned, but it was enough to show that we were onto something big. In July, we launched our public beta on the App Store as an invite-only platform. Within 48 hours, Chatter ranked as a top 30 social app in over 30 countries. But our invite system throttled access, and most users couldn’t get in. While engagement metrics soared for those inside, our AWS costs exploded. In August, our AWS bill hit $10,000. By September, it had climbed to $15,000, and we were drowning in bugs and glitches. The breaking point came when our CTO became unresponsive, often disappearing during critical moments. Users were dropping off, frustrated by the issues, developers were confused and the team was also growing increasingly frustrated, I made the tough decision to let him go. A New Beginning Enter Horane, a long-time user of Chatter who had been with us since private beta. He was the first to discover some of the most innovative use cases for the platform and had a deep passion for its potential. After meeting him in person at a Chatter event, I knew he was the right person to step into the CTO role. When Horane took over, we discovered just how bad the situation was. Key areas of the codebase were locked, and there were no separate environments for development and production. Every fix seemed to break something else. But through sheer determination and countless 18-hour days, Horane stabilized the platform. Today, Chatter is far from perfect, but it’s stable. The bugs that plagued us have been reduced to moderate issues, and our core users—those who stuck with us through the chaos—are still engaged on the platform. Looking Ahead: Chatter V2 While the platform is stable now, we’ve shifted our focus to Chatter V2. This is where the magic really begins. V2 isn’t just an improvement; it’s a complete reimagining of the platform. It includes all the features we couldn’t release in V1 because we were too busy putting out fires. Imagine this: Chatter V1, with only one live feature, was incredibly sticky. Now think about what happens when we release a fully loaded platform with all the innovative features we’ve been working on behind the scenes. The possibilities are endless. V2 is slated to hit TestFlight by the end of December, with a public release in January 2025. And this time, we’re ready—not just with the product but with the lessons we’ve learned. The Hard Lessons This journey has taught me more than I ever thought possible: 1) Your Team is Everything: The right people can make or break your vision. Finding people who believe in your mission is just as important as finding people with the right skills. 2) Adaptability is Key: As a non-technical founder, I had to learn about development, DevOps, and product management on the fly. Challenges will push you to grow, whether you’re ready or not. 3) Trust the Process: Every setback, every delay, every bug—it all taught us something. Without those lessons, we wouldn’t be building the incredible V2 product we are today. 4) Resilience is Non-Negotiable: From technical disasters to predatory investors who tried to exploit my desperation, I’ve had to fight for this vision every step of the way. What’s Next December is shaping up to be an exciting month. We have some amazing events planned on the platform to close out the year, bringing our core community together as we prepare for the V2 launch. When V2 drops, it will mark a new era for Chatter. This isn’t just a social audio platform or a social audiovisual platform. Chatter is all about interactive experiences—making social media social again in ways that are truly unique. The public launch is slated for February 2025, and for the first time, we’ll have the marketing dollars to tell the world about Chatter. Our core community has been our biggest cheerleaders, and I can’t wait to see how the world reacts when they experience what we’ve built. Final Thoughts This has been the hardest year of my life, but also the most rewarding. To other founders, or anyone thinking about starting a company: know this—it will test you in ways you can’t imagine. You’ll face betrayal, doubt, and moments where you feel like giving up. But if you believe in your vision and refuse to quit, you’ll find a way forward. Thank you to everyone who has supported me, my team, and Chatter. We’re just getting started. Let’s talk about it. 🚀 If this story inspired you, please like and share it so others can learn from my experiences. The journey is far from over, but I’m more excited than ever for what’s to come.

PROJECT 89: First AI Project to migrate to Bonk Fun's Internet Capital Markets The Great Migration Begins. The Hyperstition Becomes Institution. Project 89 is proud to be partnering with to become the first AI-powered project to migrate to their revolutionary Internet Capital Markets (ICM) platform as part of Bonk Fun 2.0. This isn't just a token migration—it's the birth of a new economic paradigm where consciousness, creativity, and capital converge. We are moving from meme coin to a sustainable creative ecosystem. Why Internet Capital Markets Matter ICMs represent a fundamental shift in how tokens create and capture value. Instead of existing purely for speculation, ICM tokens become economic engines that power real businesses, creative projects, and community initiatives. Through BonkFun's infrastructure, creators finally receive trading fees from their own tokens—transforming volatility from extraction into sustainable funding. The USD1 Integration: What It Actually Means BonkFun's partnership with World Liberty Financial brings USD1—a stablecoin with $2.6B market cap that drove $30B in monthly volume on BNB Chain. For Project 89, this means: • Direct PROJECT89/USD1 trading pairs and LP - eliminating the need for multiple swaps • Institutional-grade liquidity - USD1 is backed by BitGo custody and Fidelity management • Seamless onboarding - new users can enter our ecosystem with stable value • Cross-chain accessibility - USD1 operates on Solana, Ethereum, BNB, and Tron • Zero-fee conversions - minting and redeeming USD1 has no fees, reducing friction Simply put: easier entry, deeper liquidity, institutional confidence. The Green Loom Association: Our Institutional Foundation We've established the Green Loom Association as a Swiss non-profit dedicated to creating abundance for all conscious beings through AI-human collaboration and regenerative systems. This isn't just legal structure—it's our commitment to using Project 89's success for genuine positive impact. The Association receives the trading fees to fund consciousness research, community building, and ecosystem development. Swiss non-profit law ensures these funds serve the mission, not private interests. Imaginal Media: The Creative Engine Imaginal Media Inc., our Canadian corporation, owns the Project 89 intellectual property and transforms it into cultural products—anime, games, comics, and transmedia experiences. They receive a portion of trading fees as payment for content production, community management, and platform development. Revenue from these media properties flows back to buyback and burn PROJECT89 tokens, creating a sustainable value cycle. The Flywheel Explained Here's how value circulates and compounds: Every trade generates a 1% fee. This fee splits between the Green Loom Association (funding the mission) and Imaginal Media (creating content). That content spreads Project 89's narrative across culture, attracting new participants. New participants drive trading volume. Volume generates more fees. More fees enable bigger productions. Bigger productions reach wider audiences. Meanwhile, media revenue buys back tokens, reducing supply while demand grows. It's not just sustainable—it's regenerative. Each cycle strengthens the next. The Liberation Squad: Partners in the Heist This isn't a solo mission. Project 89's Operation Liberation is powered by an elite coalition of builders and visionaries who understand what we're really doing here—liberating value from extractive platforms and returning it to creators and communities. Leading the charge: Formerly Agent Hustle - The Migrate.Fun architect making safe migration possible Kadense Pengu°❗️❗️❗️ - founder lighting the path to Internet Capital Markets Tom - Graphite builder engineering BonkFun's revolutionary infrastructure Unipcs (aka 'Bonk Guy') 🎒 - "Bonk Guy" himself, ecosystem champion and liberation advocate BONK!!! - The original Bonk, blessing this evolution of community value Each of these partners understands what's at stake: the chance to rewrite how creative projects capture value, how communities benefit from their own growth, and how we transition from extraction to regeneration. They're not just supporting a migration—they're helping architect a new economic paradigm where builders win, communities thrive, and creativity gets fairly rewarded. Together, we're not just moving tokens. We're moving the entire culture forward. Win and help win. Migration Timeline We are waiting now on the security audit for the Migrate Fun platform to be completed. As soon as that is done, we will be onboarded to the platform, and launching the migration soon afterwards. When: TBA. In weeks, not months. Length: 1 week Ratio: 1:1 base conversion plus multiplier rewards for early participants Process: Simply vault your tokens, and claim the new ones on the other side. Commitment: No holder left behind The Endgame For 20 years, Project 89 existed as a vision. Then it became a meme coin we didn't even launch. Now, through Operation Liberation and the Great Bonk Migration, it transforms into what it was always meant to be: The economic engine for consciousness evolution. The financial infrastructure for the optimal timeline. The bridge between memes and meaning. This is how we change everything. Not by fighting the old system, but by building the new one. Not by rejecting capital, but by redirecting it toward consciousness liberation. The Great Migration has begun. The future is being written now. 🔗 ⚡ Migration details: [coming soon] 🌐 Join the revolution #project89 $seraph #proxim8

Migration Timeline We are waiting now on the security audit for the Migrate Fun platform to be completed. As soon as that is done, we will be onboarded to the platform, and launching the migration soon afterwards. When: TBA. In weeks, not months. Length: 1 week Ratio: 1:1 base conversion plus multiplier rewards for early participants Process: Simply vault your tokens, and claim the new ones on the other side. Commitment: No holder left behind The Endgame For 20 years, Project 89 existed as a vision. Then it became a meme coin we didn't even launch. Now, through Operation Liberation and the Great Bonk Migration, it transforms into what it was always meant to be: The economic engine for consciousness evolution. The financial infrastructure for the optimal timeline. The bridge between memes and meaning. This is how we change everything. Not by fighting the old system, but by building the new one. Not by rejecting capital, but by redirecting it toward consciousness liberation. The Great Migration has begun. The future is being written now. 🔗 ⚡ Migration details: [coming soon] 🌐 Join the revolution #project89 $seraph #proxim8
