Game developers are interested in how emerging technologies can create new game designs and value for the players, not the financialization of games
In order for Web3 gaming to evolve, projects should be focused on how Web3 can evolve gameplay and game design
International markets are eager for Web3
Taki has seen massive growth in India, which is a global hub for web3 that is fertile ground for engage-to-earn opportunities
But most users don’t care — They prioritize functionality over tech

But what exactly makes a game market "fun"?
We review the key elements to compelling game markets below:
The greatest innovations in social media may not be in the social or the media aspects, but the economic structure built into a product from genesis

DAOs are representative of Web3's greater vision
To build an internet that is designed around community, collaboration, and transparency 🗣️
By examining the collaborative nature of DAOs, we can build stronger ecosystems of dApps — and push Web3 forward altogether:
Trying to move forward without engaging with the existing ecosystem is ALSO a huge mistake
If a project’s founder is perceived as someone who isn’t a part of the Web3 space, people perceive that as a red flag and dismiss the project entirely

Web3 was born out of the desire to change a broken system — to create a better reality for creators, consumers, & communities
Across industries, blockchain technology has the potential to improve the internet via data ownership & decentralization
