The 100x Podcast

We’ve heard it dozens of times: “crypto gaming won’t take off until we have great games! Games that are as good, if not better than regular gaming!” What if the solution to genuinely fun games being built in web3 is to just straight up bring those “web2” games into web3? You get games that were designed to be awesome games first, and then you add in the blockchain elements where it makes sense. At least that’s the philosophy of Uprising… the question is, will it work? Listen now and let us know what you think!

Social Deduction games have proven to be a good way to reach the masses. Both Among Us and Lockdown Protocol took the world by storm. Castle of Blackwater hopes to bring this success to Web3 through a take on Social Deduction that aims to focus on replayability and easy onboarding. With easy to understand Web3 mechanics, Steam, Apple Store, and Google Play drops in the works, can Castle of Blackwater be the breakthrough the space needs?🤔 Find our speakers: Matthew Walker: https://x.com/MatthewWalker_X Cesar Martinez: https://x.com/100xCesar Castle of Blackwater: https://x.com/Blackwater_Town Our Current Partners: GAM3S.GG: https://gam3s.gg/ ⁠Disclosures: This episode was made in partnership with AVAX Gaming.

If you were to tell me that the CREATOR of Magic: The Gathering designed a web3 game with a top ranked MTG pro & veteran game designer, I would say that is one of the most insane, deeply bullish things to happen in Web3 gaming. Ever. This is me telling you exactly that. TCGs are one of the easiest genres to show why blockchain enhances gaming. But it's no secret it's starting to feel a bit oversaturated. How does SolForge Fusion stand out from other web3 TCGs? - They're a hybrid TCG. Physical, digital, and web3 - with over a million physical decks already sold & an active playerbase. - You're not just trading cards. You're trading decks, because every deck is a unique 1/1 collectible, that you can further alter by fusing them together. - Over 20,000 unique cards already available! - Massive free airdrop right now to over 70k web3 gamers, & 180k @solana holders - & the best part? It's genuinely fun.

The fact is: blockchain makes gaming better, and gaming proves the value of blockchain. We have seen WAY too many negative takes on the state of web3 gaming on our timelines lately. Whether it’s because bags are down, markets are more boring than we’d like, or because we’re hyper focused on the season we’re currently in: we’re consistently missing the big picture. If you could just zoom out for a moment, you’d see why crypto gaming changes everything. He’s pretty humble so he’d probably never admit this. But as the founder of the legendary @wolvesdao , and one of the most connected individuals in the entire space, almost nobody knows more than he does about why the intersection of crypto and gaming truly matters. This is Payton’s Web3 Gaming Thesis.

We've seen a lot of gamers ask for MMOs with enough content to actually sustain long term gaming. Usually when we see a new game drop in this space, we get a short gameplay loop, in an alpha test phase. That's the nature of web3. Or so we thought... With Raven Quest, we're seeing a fully playable and fleshed out game, with hundreds of thousands of players already loving it in web2. It drops TOMORROW So why web3? There's a thesis that tokenization genuinely solves the MMO economy problem. Plus a 10 million token airdrop based on gameplay free to play & earn PvP + PvE & more!

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!
