Highlights
The new "layer."
Lyss framed the night as the next chapter for the regens, teasing the day's regions announcement and the Unvault reveal. Tim (@tim_8093), stunned to be handed co-host, admitted "that's a lot of power for one guy" 11:40 and kicked off his questions.
Why Unvault exists.
Aaron traced NFT royalties from Beeple's Clubhouse story ($6M resale, $660K royalty) through the marketplace royalty wars, landing on his thesis: "getting 95% of a hundred thousand dollar sale" beats 100% of a hundred-dollar one. He argued royalties belong back in the space and that collections matter more than the chains they mint on.
"No NFTs are harmed in the unvaulting."
Prompted by Jed relaying a live worry that tokens get burned, Aaron explained the mechanic: eight independent NFTs exist across chains, and moving one simply vaults the origin token in escrow and releases its counterpart elsewhere — same art, same token ID, just a different chain badge in the corner.
The free mint reveal.
Aaron confirmed Genesis Bugs mints at 0.0 ETH — "I hate free mints," he added, before explaining a rewards program legally can't charge — and delivered the line the room latched onto: "We're not in a bull market anymore… we're in a stock market."
Tim's mint plan.
Riffing on the "stock market" bit, Tim deadpanned that he was "about to floor my board ape so I could make sure I could mint and sweep" — the running joke of the night being Tim floor-buying to fund every new thing.
Slick Ric on the separation factor.
SLICK RIC (@richj530) asked what truly separates Unvault from copycats. Aaron's answer: "the best damn international patent attorneys in the world" — the Divot, Unvault, minter's bonus and unified collection view are all internationally patent-pending.
Genesis Bugs, Molly, and the 6551 shells.
Aaron praised artist Molly (Red Goat Queen), noting she over-delivered on traits ("Molly, we have like 75,000 traits now, can you please stop?"), and explained the ERC-6551 "shells" — wallets that hold whitelisted assets like minter's bonuses, RWAs, or wearables.
"When did you become the host?"
Jed busted Tim's chops for spending his co-host powers answering his own Bugs questions. Tim's reply: "That's exactly what I told you I'd do if you made me a co-host."
Jroc3D on the little guys.
Jroc3D (@JusCrypto88), 10 minutes late to work to be there, asked what Unvault means for four-year grinders "screaming into the void." Aaron: "I am you… it's time to stop working for nothing." Jed added the practical angle — collections can steer their Divot toward whichever chain has volume (Robinhood, Solana, BNB) instead of sitting sidelined.
Squiddy's fisting bit.
SQUIDDY (@SquiddyNFT) delivered the room's biggest comic beat, working his "fister" NFT into a heartfelt-then-absurd riff — "a fisting is a sign of togetherness, respect" — after Jed put him on a mock "no-fly list" for the steakhouse.
The steak that almost got away.
Tim recounted nearly walking out of DeStefano's before eating, prompting Jed to chase him down the block: "You're having this goddamn steak." Money Miller (@ItsMoneyMiller) capped the restaurant love with a "six stars out of five."

Notable quotes
You know what's better than getting like a hundred percent of like a hundred dollar sale? Getting 95% of a hundred thousand dollar sale.
Is it like a fucking Star Trek teleporter? No, it is just that there are eight NFTs… no NFTs are harmed in the unvaulting.
We're not in a bull market anymore. We're not in a bear market anymore. We're in a stock market.
When did you become the host? I gave you a co-host chance and you used it to answer all your own questions.
A fisting is a sign of togetherness, respect. It opens each other up a little bit.
That was more nice things you said about me than 290 consecutive daily spaces and one rip.
Who said what
- Jed (@jed_131) — host. Framed Unvault as the evolution of NFTs (not a meta), vouched hard for Aaron and Ernest as day-one builders, and pointed listeners to the first-phase project list in the purple pill.
- Aaron Haber (@AaronHaber) — guest, Unvault co-founder. Carried the technical and philosophical load: royalties, the Divot, omnichain mechanics, Genesis Bugs, minter's bonuses, onboarding costs, and mint timing.
- Tim (@tim_8093) — first-time co-host. Ran point on Bugs questions (Molly, 6551, mint date), provided the night's running steak-and-sweep gags, and shared his regen origin story.
- Lyss (@Lysss302) — co-host. Kept the room oriented to the Unvault page, and closed with an extended message on Jed's vision, the regens' long-term build, and DeStefano's as the IRL hub.
- SLICK RIC (@richj530) — speaker. Asked the "separation factor" question and delivered a heartfelt closing on resilience and real relationships.
- Jroc3D (@JusCrypto88) — speaker. Spoke for the four-year "little guy" projects looking at Unvault as a lifeline.
- Money Miller (@ItsMoneyMiller) — speaker. Flagged a real compliance landmine — GDPR/CCPA hard-delete requests — as friendly advice for Unvault's roadmap.
- SQUIDDY (@SquiddyNFT) — speaker. Comic MVP with the fister bit and bookmark-baddie plug; also a genuine note on authenticity and building with people you know.
- MainNetThanos (@Maximill15) — speaker. Asked about onboarding an existing/mid-mint project and fee structures.
- ANTI (@AntiOnChain) — speaker. Asked whether inscription-style NFTs/ordinals are supported (not at launch, but possible later).
- Big Rugg (@ChiefNeckbone_) — speaker. Asked what a partnership and migration look like, and about already-royalty-enforced contracts.
- DaFameless (@DaFameless) & Chicken Wizard (@ChickenWizardX) — speakers. Both closed bullish; Chicken noted he bought a Skelly Friends just for a better Bugs mint shot.
Worth a full listen
- 14:37–25:02 the core mechanics. Aaron's royalty history and the "eight NFTs, nothing burns" explanation are the clearest primer on what Unvault actually does; a summary can't match hearing him walk the escrow/unvault flow step by step.
- 1:16:22–1:24:44 Jroc3D and the trenches. A genuinely moving exchange about what omnichain distribution and the Divot mean for small, long-running projects, with Jed layering on the "follow the volume" strategy.
- 2:04:09–2:07:00 the steakhouse coda. The steak stories, Tim's near-walkout, and the roll call of cross-community connections (regens ↔ apes ↔ Quirkies ↔ Pudgy) capture the room's warmth better than any paraphrase.
