+hi everyone I'm Chad the CEO of Loam
+what is Loam?
+Loam is a kind of soil
+really good soil
+a perfect mix of sand, clay, and silt
+and it helps you grow roots that are both deep and wide
+we help you grow ambitious dapps
+We've now partnered with smart deploy
+and will be integrating all smart deploy functionality
+into Loam
+which means our team now has all of these developers
+you may have seen us around
+maintaining Stellar CLI
+and the JS sdk's contract client
+our full team also includes some marketing and operational folks
+who can help us grow both more deep and wide
+we're currently building both the smart contracts and frontend for EquitX,
+another SCF project
+dogfooding and improving Loam as we go
+let's go ahead and take a quick tour of Loam
+I recommend installing it with cargo binstall
+it's gonna make it way faster
+and then you can
+initialize a new project using Loam
+cd into it 
+go ahead and run some setup
+and then
+run Dev
+run Dev is going to concurrently run
+Loam Dev and
+Astro Dev
+(Astro is our frontend framework
+don't worry too much about that)
+we'll give loam dev some time to run
+in the meantime
+let's look at the example contracts it gave us
+we've got a core example contract
+and a status message example contract
+if we look in the source code of the core example contract
+this is literally all the source code
+it's super simple
+maybe too simple to see
+it's importing a "subcontract core"
+and then it's deriving it
+this will start to make a little more sense
+when we look at status message
+it's still doing the "subcontract core" stuff but
+it defines its own "subcontract status message"
+so subcontracts are kind of like Lego blocks
+that you snap together into a full smart contract
+if we look at the source code for "subcontract core"
+it defines three methods
+admin get
+admin set
+and redeploy
+which lets you upgrade your smart contract
+the status message subcontract defines two methods
+messages get
+messages set
+all right so back to Loam Dev
+we see that it deployed our
+smart contracts to our local network
+so that if we run
+Stellar contract invoke ID example status message
+we'll see that we have all five of those methods!
+admin get
+admin set
+redeploy
+messages get
+messages set
+hooray!
+it worked!
+soon we'll have more example contracts
+right now it just gives you those two
+but soon we will also implement all the ones from
+soroban examples
+so if you want to see how to do anything that's in sorbon examples using Loam SDK
+you'll be able to
+right now if you go to github.com/loam-build/loam and
+look at the pUll requests
+we've also got an nft example in the works
+your new project also has an environments.toml file
+this is where we told Loam Dev
+what our local network settings are
+what named accounts to create
+and we told it to build clients for all of our contracts
+client equals true is actually the default
+you don't need to have it
+we also support other things like init
+this is a script that runs whenever the contract is first deployed
+and anytime it changes
+to get your local development environment into a sensible starting place
+you can also define other environments like staging
+where you probably want to use the testnet network
+and a production environment where you'll probably use the pubnet Network
+and soon
+integrating smart deploy functionality
+will also help you update your contracts
+and deploy them to public networks
+soon we will also let you run the local network automatically
+right now you have to do it manually
+and something I'm really excited about
+soon we'll let you spoon data
+from a live network to your local network
+like Euro coin at a certain ledger sequence number
+we already generate the frontend clients for you
+using Stellar contract bindings typescript
+and import them using the settings we saw earlier
+from Loam Dev
+and this all already auto rebuilds when you update your contracts
+but soon we will also autogenerate UI
+kind of like scaffoldETH
+so that you can interact with your contracts from the browser right away
+in summary
+Loam gives you end-to-end tooling to grow ambitious dapps thank you
