The Spaces focused on the BOSS token’s TGE, how to correctly claim allocations, and why its cross‑chain architecture (via the Charms standard) matters. Claire moderated, clarified that presale claims are live at TGE (ERC‑20 claimable now; Cardano CNT distribution started and may take hours), while all airdrop and OKX Cryptopedia claims open 3–4 days post‑TGE. Sheer (Head of Marketing) confirmed initial listings (Bitget, Kraken, MEXC, KuCoin, Gate, PancakeSwap; MinSwap pool soon) and multi‑chain minting on Cardano, Ethereum, and BNB Chain. Yago outlined how Charms enables true, bridge‑less asset mobility and cross‑chain contract interaction, unifying fragmented chains while keeping Bitcoin as settlement. He detailed BOS tokenomics: protocol fees from cross‑chain activity convert to BTC and fund buy‑and‑burns, making BOS deflationary and indirectly allowing holders to accrue BTC value; staking will complement this. Near‑term rollouts include moving BTC into Cardano DeFi (DEX, lending), BTC‑backed yield, RWA issuance, and integrations with Litecoin and multiple rollups (Lithium, Sovereign, Merlin). Community topics covered included Sovryn staker allocations (10% pool locked 1 year then 3‑year vest, plus presale bonuses), staking options (current KuCoin Earn; future SLAM node staking), airdrop eligibility (closed), the live Ordinals quest/whitelist campaign, and ongoing support amid brief Discord outages. The team emphasized patience, security vigilance, and long‑term focus on unifying crypto.

BitcoinOS (BOSS) TGE Community Call — Comprehensive Summary

Speakers and Roles

  • Yago (core founder/lead architect; Sovryn/BOSS): Vision, protocol mechanics, roadmap, integrations
  • Sheer (Head of Marketing): Listings, distribution specifics, Sovryn stakers’ allocations
  • Claire aka “Alien” (Community/Comms Lead, Moderator): Operations, claims process, campaigns, support
  • Community guests: Lord Dray (community lead), numerous community members via AMA

Operational Announcements and Housekeeping

  • Discord outage at TGE start impacted announcement bots; team pushed updates via X and will pin tutorials. Tutorial for presale claims was to be pinned to the Space’s Jumbotron.
  • Claims hub: a new Discord category “boss token claims” is live with dedicated channels:
    • Presale claims (live for ERC-20; CNT distribution in progress)
    • OKX claims (to be added)
    • BOSS airdrop claims (to be added)
  • Secret code shared during the Space: tge21
  • Engagement raffle: reacting with hearts during the Space entered users into a 1,000 Engage Points raffle.
  • Community rule: no price predictions or price talk in official channels; the team does not comment on price (NFA).
  • Support: for presale/claim issues, use the dashboard chat (bottom-right) to open a support ticket; for additional help, open a Discord support ticket.

TGE Logistics, Claims, and Vesting

  • Key distinction:
    • Presale claims/distribution: happening now (TGE day)
    • Airdrop and OKX Cryptopedia claims: 3–4 days post-TGE (watch Discord announcements)
  • ERC-20 presale claims: live now (standard ETH gas applies)
  • Cardano Native Token (CNT) distribution: started at 12:00 PM UTC on TGE day; may take several hours; patience requested
  • Vesting for presale participants:
    • 10% liquid at TGE
    • Remaining 90% released in six equal monthly installments of 15% each after TGE (months 1–6)
  • Wallet submission windows:
    • Airdrop wallet submission campaign closed (extended multiple times over ~4 months). Late submissions are not eligible for that airdrop.
    • If you missed presale wallet submission, you can still submit, but do not expect distribution today; a follow-on distribution/claims cycle will be announced.

Exchange Listings and Trading Access

  • Exchanges mentioned as live at/around TGE (as spoken on the call; verify via official channels):
    • “ByteDance Alpha” (launch venue referenced throughout the call)
    • Gate.io, KuCoin, Kraken, MEXC, PancakeSwap
    • Bitget was also referenced verbally (“Big Kit”)
    • A Minswap pool (Cardano) is set to open within a few days post-TGE
  • ERC-20 trading available on the above CEX/DEX venues; Gate supports both ERC-20 and CNT per the call.
  • Why “Alpha” first: typical launch flow for that venue is via its “Alpha” market, with later addition to its main spot market.
  • Staking campaign: a KuCoin fixed-term offering is live (~10 days). Always verify via official links/contracts.

Token Standard, Cross-Chain Tech, and Why Three Mints

  • BOSS is minted on Cardano (CNT), Ethereum (ERC-20), and BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) to maximize accessibility and utility for users wherever they operate.
  • Charms token standard (core to BOSS and BitcoinOS):
    • Enables tokens to move natively across chains without relying on third-party bridges or custodial multisigs
    • Supports inter-chain smart contract interactions; targets dissolution of fragmentation among chains
    • Future UX: initiate cross-chain asset movement yourself, akin to a normal on-chain transaction, but across chains
  • How Charms differs from current bridges/swaps:
    • Bridges today: lock on chain A, mint IOU on chain B; trust in multisigs/validators
    • Cross-chain swaps today: rely on dual issuance and liquidity pools; assets don’t actually move
    • Charms: direct, user-driven asset movement and cross-chain contract calls without custodial risk or IOUs

Value Accrual and BOSS Token Economics

  • Every Charms cross-chain action entails generating proofs/transactions and paying protocol fees
  • Fee path: collected in the asset used by the user, converted by the protocol into BTC, then used by the protocol to buy and burn BOSS
    • BOSS becomes a deflationary asset reflecting protocol utility
    • Holders benefit from ongoing buy-and-burn, and can effectively convert BOSS into BTC by selling into protocol-induced demand
    • Staking yields, once available, can also be viewed through a BTC-accumulation lens
  • Philosophy: Bitcoin as the primary global asset and settlement layer; BitcoinOS extends Bitcoin’s programmability and scales its utility across chains

Near-Term Rollout and Roadmap

  • Already live/in use:
    • Early zkBTC/“ckBTC” pilots with institutions using BTC as collateral without leaving their wallets
    • First Charms-issued tokens (e.g., BRO meme token representing the “UTXO Bros” community)
  • Upcoming chain integrations and rollups:
    • Cardano integration (first major rollout)
      • Move BTC into Cardano
      • Use BTC in Cardano DeFi (DEX trading, lending pools)
      • Launch of new BTC-yield platforms; collateralize BTC to acquire assets (including RWAs like loans/bonds, potentially equities)
      • BOSS and other programmable tokens (e.g., BRO) become available on Cardano
    • Litecoin integration next
    • Rollups: Lithium Rollup, Sovereign Rollup, Merlin Rollup on Bitcoin and other chains
  • Platform growth:
    • Grail Pro (institutional BTC collateral/yield) launched with controlled caps; BTC tiers will be gradually raised to manage risk in early stages
    • Increase zkBTC issuance limits; add operators and custodians for Grail Pro
    • New wallets and explorers in development
    • Hackathon to spur developer adoption and DApp integration across chains

Cardano First-Rollout Details

  • What users can expect initially on Cardano:
    • BTC moving to Cardano via BitcoinOS
    • BTC tradable on Cardano DEXes; usable in lending pools
    • Launch of BTC-yield products and broader DeFi primitives
    • Collateralized acquisition of RWAs and other assets using BTC
    • Availability of programmable tokens (BOSS, BRO) on Cardano
  • Distribution on Cardano at TGE:
    • CNT tokens are being sent directly to wallets (not claimed), but a Cardano Node API issue is slowing throughput; workaround in progress; expect delays

Sovryn Stakers and BOSS

  • Sovryn is a founding entity; Sovryn stakers benefit in two ways:
    1. 10% of total BOSS token supply allocated to Sovryn stakers (locked 1 year, then vests over 3 years; same structure as team/strategic/institutional)
    2. Presale bonus: if you participated in the Sovryn Origins presale while staking SOV, you received a purchase bonus (visible in your dashboard allocation)
  • Threshold for SOV staking to qualify for the presale bonus was intentionally low (approx. <$100 SOV when set; confirm exact threshold with Sovryn moderators)

Airdrops, Eligibility, and Claims Windows

  • BOSS Airdrop eligibility:
    • Select communities across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Cardano (including Ordinals/NFT and meme communities like SNACK)
    • Campaign ended months ago; no new entries
  • Airdrop and OKX/Cryptopedia claims:
    • Occur 3–4 days post-TGE; watch for clear Discord announcements and dedicated claim channels
  • Ordinals campaign (open to everyone now):
    • Free mint “21 Ordinals Collection”
    • Process: take a quiz to get a unique code -> enter in Discord to receive “Apprentice” role -> access a custom questboard -> complete tasks to earn “Mana” points
    • Leaderboard: Top 12 guaranteed a whitelist spot (may expand slightly); additional WL spots via community events (movie nights, game nights, quizzes, calls)
    • “Mage inscription” (from earlier steps) was used to obtain your unique code for role assignment and quest entry

Community Ethos, Guidance, and Support

  • Vision: end fragmentation via a unifying Bitcoin-centric operating system; interoperability with Bitcoin as the binding security and settlement layer
  • Guidance:
    • Zoom out on timeframes; avoid getting caught in daily volatility; focus on long-term value creation
    • No price talk; moderators and team do not comment on price
  • Support: Use dashboard chat or Discord tickets for individual issues; ensure you only use official links and contract addresses

Selected AMA Highlights

  • Partnerships at launch: more announcements are in the pipeline; not everything was revealed on TGE day
  • Post-TGE demand/entry point: the team does not comment on price
  • Strike Finance (Cardano) listing request for BOSS CNT: team is open and will reach out if not already engaged
  • Why some Sovryn stakers see “0%” on the login page: review your dashboard’s BOSS allocation breakdown; presale bonus is included there; if issues persist, open a support ticket
  • Regulatory/privacy/KYC complex questions: some topics cannot be addressed due to confidentiality and scope (several multi-part, ChatGPT-like questions were deferred)
  • Exchange booster/trading competitions: venues plan their own campaigns; details announced by exchanges (expect communications shortly)

Closing Notes

  • Today marks the first public step for BOSS after years of building; significant volume and multiple exchanges went live around TGE
  • Despite minor infra hiccups (e.g., Discord outage, Cardano node API slowdown), the team is handling issues and will communicate timelines
  • Near-term: Cardano integration, more BTC into BitcoinOS, DeFi utility on Cardano, institution-led capital inflows, rollout of additional chains/rollups, growth of zkBTC and Grail Pro, new explorers/wallets, and a developer hackathon
  • Team gratitude: appreciation to the community for patience, advocacy, and long-term alignment; remember to step away, rest, and practice self-care amid the excitement
