Had an exciting discussion last week in Singapore 🇸🇬 on Web-3 gaming at Global Blockchain Congress - GBC with: ▪️ Anthony Blackburn, Venture Partner 280 Capital ▪️Belinda Pham, Investment Manager, The Sandbox /BORGET Sebastien’s Family Office ▪️Fabio La Franca, Founding Partner Blueverse Ventures ▪️ Nicholas Seah, VP, BD&Investments(APAC) GDA Capital Blockchain gaming is the largest segment of decentralized applications within the space, accounting for 34% of all activity and 4.15 million daily active users(as of August 2024). Web3 gaming is poised for exponential growth, with a projected CAGR of 18.7% from 2023 to 2033. The global Web3 gaming market is expected to reach nearly $29 billion by 2030, driven by the increasing adoption of blockchain technology and the shift towards player-owned digital assets. Key trends shaping the future of Web3 gaming: 1. Mainstream adoption: Major gaming companies like Ubisoft, Epic Games and Sony are embracing Web3 technologies, paving the way for broader acceptance among mainstream gamers. 2. Player ownership: Web3 gaming empowers players with true ownership of in-game assets, allowing them to trade, sell, and showcase their collections in various digital marketplaces. 3. Innovative gameplay: Upcoming games like Illuvium.io, Ember Sword, and Project Legends are pushing the boundaries of Web3 gaming with immersive experiences and high-quality gameplay. 4. Decentralized content creation: Web3 gaming fosters a decentralized ecosystem where user-generated content (UGC) can be freely monetized by creators, opening up new opportunities for collaboration and innovation.

NFT Paris and the side events weren't just about #nfts. In contrast to other tech conferences, it was an incubator of ideas, a community-building event, a classroom, and a showcase of all the work and art being done by builders in a bear economy. It was electric. 🔌 ⚡ TL;DR: What I found there was tangible utility and innovation, particularly in tokenizing consumer engagement, #customerloyalty and #digitaltwinning, embracing a pragmatic approach towards digital product passports, #sustainability, and enhanced #community engagement. Reflecting on #NFTParis, it's clear the event was a transformative gathering for #web3, #luxury, #art, #fashion , #gaming , #finance and beyond. 👀 Amidst many lay-offs in gaming and tech, what seems to be emerging are growing start-ups that are redefining the way we interact with objects. Innovators of blockchain, #ai , digital ownership, and co-creation projects that promise to transform. 🌐 One such promising use case is the #dpp or the (Digital Product Passport). It is redefining how we look at finished goods and their components, both physical and digital. Some talks by Aura Blockchain Consortium and Arianee defined this best with clear use cases in various industries. #digitaltwinning was also a strong use case for digital products (NFTs) in art, clothing, accessories, instruments to real estate. 🎮 Concepts of #gaming were constantly infused in the talks, interactions, and projects for a very clear reason. Lots of discussions centered on #customerexperience, immersion and #cocreation , especially in massive platforms like #Roblox and #Fortnite. Plus, who doesn't love a good treasure hunt?! 👗 Looking at you POAP - The Proof of Attendance Protocol and WOW WorldofWomen, and that incredible gala evening! 🔑 Key takeaways for sectors outside the usual Web3 space include the importance of integrating #blockchain for authenticity, leveraging #ai while ensuring content veracity, and understanding the profound impact of digital assets on customer loyalty. 💥 It’s a clarion call for brands to meet their audience where they are, and to rethink engagement, loyalty, and exclusivity in a digital age. Some truly incredible people there: Web3 Doers like Thomas Valera, Benjamin Dunkel, Sabrina Kesting, Alex Chuhunou, super connectors like Ashumi Sanghvi, CLARE TATTERSALL, Demi Karanikolaou, and incredible artists like Francine Ballard (The Kno // House of Web3), Francesca Rosella and Ryan Genz (of CuteCircuit), the incredible Stephy Fung, Winston Bartholomew Holder III of THE HOUSE OF BARTHOLOMEW and Lauren Kacher / KALAU and leaders like Joanna Rindell, Janina Vinklere and Liva Rudzona, Dirk Lohmann, Anne Bracegirdle, Pierre-Nicolas Hurstel, Delphine Eddé and team from Arianee, Richard Hobbs (of Brand New Vision (BNV) and the incredible ME:ID), Riad Lemhachheche, Angelique Hernandez and the brilliant absolute labs team, EDA AGUILAR and ANDREA ABRAMS of PHYGICODE, and so many others!

#Token2049 confirmed that we're on the right path with our $KOBAN gaming ecosystem 🎮. Key Takeaways on #Web3Gaming 👇: 📈 The market and sentiment around #Web3 #gaming have matured significantly. 🌐 Interoperability and ecosystem development are now central to industry conversations. 🖥️ Builders are turning former ‘risks’ into opportunities. 🤝 Collaboration across projects has never been stronger. Web3 gaming is not just growing—it’s on the verge of taking over, and we’re at the forefront of shaping the industry’s next cycle with #blockchain technology.
