Our wonderful moderator Zenobia Godschalk (@zenobiaZAG) navigated a diverse and insightful debate between @ysiu (@animocabrands), @LowellDNess (@PerkinsCoieLLP) and @HermanNarula (@Improbableio) on hype cycles, killer apps and web3 trends. 🔥 Pretty bullish on the importance of blockchain technology for AI agent infrastructures, Herman Narula goes so far as to say: "If crypto didn't exist today, we'd end up inventing it just to provide the economic rails for sharing agents between organizations."

We have shipped a ton already, without such a person. Certainly more than most web3/metaverse products who have raised waaaaaaay more money. 2025 is an opportunity to take our initial success and momentum and pour gasoline on it. We are going to be integrating web3 in a much more significant way, increasing our pace of releases. And taking much bigger bets. Asymmetric upside for someone who wants to join early. Maybe that's you? Our game tech stack: Unreal Engine with @MSquared_io running on top built by @Improbableio. IMO the most capable metaverse platform around with the capacity to host the biggest online events you've ever seen. Web3 stack is still very much a work in progress but we'll be deploying much of our upcoming tech with the help of @crossmint
