100X: Gamifying the Most Bullish Sector of Crypto w/ GenoPets

It's no secret that data, activity, mapping, & human movement are dominating the DePIN corners of blockchain. But what if you could gamify that entire process? One of the biggest hurdles in the data sector is figuring out how to convince people to consistently give you their data. What if you could create a game that solves this problem? That's exactly what Jay and his team is doing. In this episode about GenoPets, we're also covering: - their new telegram game, Pixelton (battler in the GenoPets universe) - the fact that this OG game on Solana has 500k+ players and you're somehow sleeping on it - an upcoming AR game that helps solve the mapping data problem - sweet alpha about what's coming at Solana Breakpoint Listen and let us know what you think!
