>> Narrator: From New York, it's theCUBE covering Blockchain Week. Now, here's John Furrier. >> Hey welcome back, everyone. This is theCUBE, I'm John Furrier, the host. We are in New York City for Blockchain Week NY for New York. Part of Consensus 2018. A lot of activity is happening, and I'm here with Agne Kazakaskaite who's the president of Vilnius Blockchain Association. Did I get that right, your name? >> Yes, that is correct. Agne Kazakaskaite from Vilnius Blockchain Association. >> Thank you for coming on. Appreciate you taking the time. First of all, I got to say I love what you're working on. You got this really cool project. Take a minute to explain what the Crypto Rally is. It's really cool. What is it? >> Sure, so Crypto Rally's an innovative concept. In short, it's Formula 1 with Davos. It's a marketing platform for blockchain companies to showcase their innovations, what they have developed in blockchain technologies. It's a car racing event. First it's starting in Lithuania, and then we're going to Dubai and China, taking our partners and sponsors together with us. And they receive a huge global media exposure by participating in Crypto Rally. >> So, the purpose is to take the cars and travel around and do education. Is it inspiration to partying? Is it fun? What is the format? >> What is the format? So, the format is we're traveling from Vilnius to the seaside and back. And Crypto Rally stops in six pit stops. In those pit stops, we have performances, car drifts, drag races, and the blockchain companies showcase the innovations. Let us say, automatic blockchain company that is installing sensors in the cars, they can showcase how it actually works. Say it's a blockchain company that opens the wallets for customers, they can open the wallets there and then. Yes, of course it's a party. We have parties. We have 3D projections on the walls. We have augmented reality games. All of this is interactive experience for the blockchain companies and for the community to participate together. >> And it's going to be fun. >> Yes. >> Informational, educational. Where'd the idea come from? >> It was my idea, actually. I worked before with Formula 1 teams. We consulted them. And I understand the concept quite well, actually. It's a racing event, but in a sense, it's a marketing platform. You put stickers on the cars, and if you can call it circus, travels around the world giving immediate exposure to the company that participate in it. And cars just add a sexiness to all of this event. >> That's beautiful. Who's involved? Can you talk about the names of people that are involved? >> Yes. >> Sponsors and communities. >> Yes, of course, Bee-li-al's already participating. We have local partners at CoinGate who actually are installing cryptocurrency payments all along the route of Crypto Rally. So wherever Crypto Rally goes, each country will be cryptocurrenc-inized. >> It's a treasure hunt meets car racing meets partying blockchain style. >> Exactly, it's really really fun. >> So what's your background? How did you get into this? I mean, it seems very cool. >> Yes. >> We love it. I love it. >> Thank you very much. My background is in finance. I studied in London, investment and financial risk management. I worked in an investment bank for a little bit. Then consulting company. And now I'm doing a master's degree in blockchain. I believe it's a great opportunity for our generation of people to make a huge impact to the world. I'm so excited about this new era. I can't contain my happiness. >> I love your story. I think it's phenomenal. >> Thank you. >> I think you're dynamic, vibrant, super smart. But I look around here at the hotel, it's a sea of men. We need more women in tech. >> Exactly. >> Tell all your friends. >> Exactly, exactly. So we're trying to change that. The Crypto Rally team consists girls actually who are our partners. It's Emile and Gaile, so three of us founders were female. So we're changing the whole blockchain ecosystem. >> Thank you so much for doing it. Thanks for coming on and sharing. Love to go along for the ride. Take theCUBE with you. Maybe we could be media partner. We'd love to promote it. Keep in touch. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you for coming on. >> Thank you. >> TheCUBE Crypto Rally. TheCUBE, we're rallying here day one of two days of coverage.
