In an interview at the #FortuneAISingapore conference, @SkyMavisHQ cofounder and CEO @trungfinity said gaming is "a great way to push forward the adoption of technology."

Missed the recent @nansen_ai Spaces chat with @Psycheout86? A quick recap of the key insights below. 👇🏼 → Open Ronin's Impact: Opened innovation; raises quality bar. Excited longterm for projects like Pixels, Fishing Frenzy, Lumiterra, Fableborne. "Since open Ronin, we've been more focused on expanding outwards of just gaming. That means into DeFi, culture (e.g. tokenized Pokémon cards, prediction markets)." "The quality bar for Ronin right now is being raised. ...a great thing... it means people are getting smarter." → Top Verticals: Gaming + DeFi integration for "net new user experiences." Pushing blue-chip DeFi protocols for minimum viable liquidity. "If you can integrate DeFi a little bit more deeply into the games, I think you can enable net new user experiences." "I still firmly believe that gaming is going to brings in the next hundreds of millions of users. We need to incentivize the builders to innovate more in a new way." → Roadmap Updates (Big Alpha): "Ronin Recharge" or V2 incoming. New paper, technical upgrades, tokenomics revamp for better holding incentives. More aggressive post-reg clarity. "We can move faster now without actually incurring the wrath of the US government just by experimenting a little bit... we'll definitely be more aggressive on that front too." → Community Focus: Transparency is key. Empower holders/evangelists as "white blood cells." Global expansion, reward positive behaviors. "We need to be more data-driven, pay attention to the people who are doing the right behaviors and who are adding value to the ecosystem." "We need more transparency also so that we can kind of separate out who are positive and negative influences and so that we can reward the positive influences in the ecosystem. Everyone else is just noise. They're not enemies per se, but it's just noise." → Addressing Community Questions On TradFi mindshare: Working on it. "Now that we have a better story to tell, it's going to be easier for us also to pitch to these traditional financial investors as well." On founders selling: "There is definitely truth to that..." but view it in the big picture, "the percentage that's being sold is pretty minimal." "And they might have needs from a tax perspective or others, which might actually force them to sell some tokens." "We are still the biggest holders and have most exposure to RON. Of course it would be super bearish if someone sells everything. That's obviously not something that we want." Calls on balanced takes. "People sell RON and buy RON all the time." Check out who's buying as well as who's selling. Catch the replay for more. 👇🏼 What’s your take on Ronin V2?

It was summer 2020. Axie Classic had been out for 7 months. Internally, things were bleak. We had ~300 daily players. Classic hasn't done much to meaningfully grow the pie. We were still the largest crypto game on @DappRadar but it seemed like we were still to early for people to "care" about crypto games. Then something insane happened. 4chan discovered Axie and SLP. They saw our Samsung, Ubiosft partnership + strong community and started buying SLP. Some within our Discord even told them not to buy, as SLP was for breeding. They didn't care. "Shut up and watch this." They said. That was the beginning of the Axie cycle and the birth of web3 gaming as a market segment. • Over 1 B USD in revenue • 4 B in NFT volume • Millions of players We had put ourselves in a position to win once liquidity began to flow. I believe we've done it again. We're back at a crossroads like that. Liquidity is beginning to flow. Experimentation is happening across the ecosystem. We've put our sails in the right direction. The wind is picking up. When it comes to games + gamified crypto apps, we are skilled sailors ready to navigate the stormy waters ahead.

The web3 gaming scene feels like it’s on life support and it’s lost its way. But there’s a saviour sailing through the storm. To see it clearly, we need to look back because the past doesn’t just shape the future, it lays the foundations of what is to come… In 2018, a quiet spark lit the flame we now call web3 gaming: Axie Infinity. That spark became a beacon: - Real lives changed - Millions onboarded - Digital economies formed Then the tide turned: - Studios shut down - Communities drifted apart - Hype drowned out purpose Many walked away. Ronin moved forward. What started as Axie’s sidechain has become a full blown gaming-first blockchain a mission-driven ecosystem focused on improving lives through gaming. A new kind of digital nation built for players, by players. These are the titles (from Ronin) I believe will carry the next wave beyond the CT bubble: 1. Axie Infinity & Atia’s Legacy 2. Pixels 3. Fishing Frenzy 4. Forgotten Runiverse 5. Fableborne Now it’s important to talk about something believed to be lost…The Ronin Effect. Industry folk used the term to describe the crazy DAU spikes from games joining Ronin BUT they missed The Real Ronin Effect, how these games changed lives by giving people: - Joy - Access - Opportunity A future where players own, not just participate and that ownership drives meaning, connection, and loyalty to the brand and one another. Since stepping away from Moonfrost (a project close to my heart), one question kept following me... “What’s next?” Today, I’m proud to share that I’ve joined Sky Mavis as their Social Media & Channel Strategist. This is more than a "reply guy" role. It’s about: - Deepening community bonds - Running bold growth experiments - Expanding Sky Mavis beyond the CT echo chamber TL;DR: Same Jase + Larger Impact = More lives changed through the power of gaming. Now if you haven’t started your Ronin journey yet, comment 'The Real Ronin Effect' below and I’ll send you a DM to chat and get you up to speed. 🌊💙
