with the legendary Sasha here I'm sure many of you already know Sasha but Sasha just for the people living under a rock can you just uh tell them who you are and what you're up to yeah so um I mean I've been working Eureka System since beginning since August of 2018. originally I was the only person talking to the market uh then I started the incubator accelerator called open web Collective last year I was one of the first offshoots out of the nearer called human Guild so we started to focus more and more on incubations of gaming on here natively and so we are right now in a gaming arcade inside of New York on where we have 16 or so games presenting their playable versions to to Gamers what would you say to people that are interested in near or they're like want to build games on there for like all the game developers that would like to build do you have any any words you'd want to say to them or or anything yeah I would say it's very challenging uh because there's a lot to figure out how to go to market in a web 3 native way how to build sustainable economy how to build a balance of gameplay and economy but the important piece is that there's a lot less competition done in web 2 Gaming so if people build something uh useful then they'll get a lot of attention I think in New York System people like really waiting for applications and games to launch and another piece is that we're trying to instill the collaborative mindset for Founders we want Founders to teach Founders similarly how when nearer was starting it was very collaborative with other layer ones Layer Two so there's a lot of cross collaboration in terms of approaches so we're trying to do that in human guilt at least so if you're a Founder considering building a game or near to talk to us we want to integrate to with the rest of the community and you'll be figuring things out together sway man what uh what makes you optimistic about web3 and near Sasha uh why someone would build a near I think it comes down to two things when it comes to gaming usability and finality usability means you can bring Mass Market audience into your games finality means that you get faster response from blockchain and so you can build more real-time use cases you uh which expands number of use cases available to game developers all right there's a here's a fun one for you Sasha what is web 3. yes I think web3 is more of a philosophy uh different people think about Web City very differently it has some problems with branding because it's so General but I think I think web3 is an opportunity to re redo the internet right with the with the servers being available to the public as opposed to we kind of locked in corporate servers of like Facebook and Google the guys who kind of like control the current iteration of the internet so I think web3 is a digital property right it's opportunity for developers investors Founders users to work on a platform that would not change rules for them Sasha do you have any tips for people uh to get the most out of web3 I think the important piece is to start drawing different applications and different games I think uh the real way you build intuition for the web series space is not by reading about it but actually trying applications so I suggest anyone who is interested in web3 is try applications try games if you're a gamer or other applications that will allow you to build intuition for the space then you figure out what to uh what do you get out of web 3 in terms of what personally to you is appealing well hey Sasha thank you so much for your time man appreciate you","transcript_synced_at":"2026-11-04T03:57:53.372Z","segments":[{"start_seconds":3,"text":"I'm with the legendary Sasha here I'm sure many of you already know Sasha but Sasha
