  • “The biggest Web3 games will emerge from mini-app ecosystems like Telegram, TikTok, and Line—not traditional app stores.” – Anton Umnov Anton sat down with Marc Baumann on 51 Insights to discuss how #Web3gaming is shifting from token-first hype to gameplay-first experiences—and why AI and social-driven platforms like Telegram are redefining the industry. 📌 Key takeaways from the interview: ✅ Web3 gaming’s past mistakes: Teams prioritized token launches over building fun, engaging games. That’s changing. ✅ Telegram is the fastest, lowest-cost growth channel for Web3 games—frictionless onboarding, viral mechanics, and 1B+ users. ✅ AI is shrinking development cycles from 3-5 years to 12-18 months, automating economy balancing and real-time A/B testing. The future of gaming is AI-powered, socially distributed, and Web3-integrated. 🚀 #web3games #AIagents #telegramgaming # 🎙️ Watch the full interview in the link below:
