We've seen many projects use their token as exit liquidity, riding the hype. However, our journey hasn't been about chasing narratives. It's been about answering a simple question: "Can we build a ROTS-positive structure after launching a token?". I agree that it's not about.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a Korean builder share something that truly resonates with me as a researcher. As someone who often gets asked to advise on tokenomics design during research work—or even receives direct requests to help with it—I always find myself coming back.

Appreciate the thoughtful breakdown @Edward__Park . In gaming, long-term sustainability doesn't come from hype, it comes from aligning revenue and real player value. That's why at Delabs, we're focused deeply on creating games that balance immersion and retention efficiently.

Great games balance accessibility with mastery. The magic happens when new players feel instantly capable and competent, and veteran players never run out of depth. That's exactly the kind of balance I try to embed with every game I work on.

Mobile gaming was called a fad in the early 2000s when I was working on my first game. Today, skeptics say the same about Web3 gaming. So I've learned that innovation always wins. And with Delabs, I'll prove it again.

After shipping games to 100M+ players, I’ve learnt a lot. The biggest lesson? Players don't care about your tech stack. They care about fun. Web3 is just a tool. Use it to make games better, not just different.

Had to try this out myself. With the current pace of AI image generation moving forward we're not just making pictures, but we’re watching a new visual language emerge—fast, personal, infinitely remixable. In gaming, this means asset creation, concepting, and entire worlds
