00:00:00 Intro
00:03:00 Paaao starts
00:04:00 What is Vultisig?
00:05:00 37 chains supported — Vultisig was born from THORChain MPC/TSS technology
00:06:00 Every Vultisig user is a mini THORChain ecosystem
00:08:00 When will we have a proper referral fee on all swaps, not just THORChain?
00:12:00 What API is used? Is it OpenOcean for Solana meme coins?
00:13:00 Is there an MEV component?
00:14:00 How are swaps routed for maximum efficiency?
00:17:00 How is Vultisig positioned to take advantage of everything that's coming?
00:19:00 bRUNE support and the acquisition of Station Wallet
00:20:00 Station is being converted into a fully agentic wallet!
00:21:00 CCL on Rujira makes a great case for agentic use
00:23:00 As soon as THORChain came back, people started swapping again
00:25:00 MiCA consequences — people fleeing to self-custody
00:26:00 How do we capture these users?
00:28:00 Help us connect to communities, THORChads! Private keys are toxic!
00:30:00 We have a sophisticated SDK that we are hardening — Hermes Agent
00:31:00 Your agent can interact with other agents
00:33:00 Vultisig is a return to proper self-custody
00:35:00 Vultisig is building for the future
00:38:00 Our goal is to make the wallet super easy — please let us know what can be improved!
00:39:00 Self-hosting a Vultisig server could be powerful for businesses
00:42:00 Could the VULT token become a universal in-app gas token?
00:43:00 We'd need more centralized accounting — interesting idea
00:45:00 We don't want to mix AI with wallet setup to reduce attack vectors
00:47:00 Everyone can use Vultisig however they want, but self-hosting means maintaining your own app
00:47:30 Vultisig Marketplace — developers can create automations
00:48:00 For the first time, you can use custodial infrastructure to DCA through automated workflows
00:49:00 We are focusing primarily on the agentic side rather than the marketplace
00:51:00 Fee percentage question
00:52:00 Is Vultisig hiring?
00:53:00 Everyone is welcome to join Discord and open a PR, but we're not hiring full-time
00:54:00 How safe are AI agents with Vultisig?
00:55:00 We are focused on guardrails and multiple security layers for AI agents
00:57:00 AI agents have been our biggest challenge
00:58:00 Finding the balance between AI capabilities and guardrails is difficult
01:00:00 Rujira support is coming soon!
01:01:00 What makes you so excited about Rujira?
01:02:00 Paaao loves lending, borrowing, and the liquidation engine
01:03:00 The cross-chain capabilities are truly unique
01:04:00 The connection between Rujira and Vultisig
01:06:00 When XMR? Paaao: We're exploring how to add it
01:08:00 MPC cryptography is difficult because we use DKLS
01:09:00 MiCA regulations complicate the situation
01:11:00 Is there anything else you'd like to talk about?
01:12:00 Shout-out to the OGs: Try Vultisig again! It's changed a lot — send us feedback!
01:13:00 Shared vaults for families, trust funds, and much more
01:14:00 We want to improve communication — app releases every week
01:16:00 Quai recommendation
01:17:00 THORChain is a cockroach!
