The gaming industry has always been at the forefront of new technologies and business models. With the rise of blockchain and artificial intelligence, we are experiencing a significant transformation. Web3 gaming, sometimes called Decentralized gaming, is an aspect of gaming that empowers players by granting true ownership of in-game assets and creating numerous monetization opportunities for creators, developers, and players. This has led to rapid user engagement and revenue generation for all parties involved. Web3 gaming creates an ideal scenario where players from anywhere in the world engage in games with each other without geographical, currency limitations, or server segregation based on location (borderless play). 

Our niche, Gaming has always been a story of evolution. From the early arcade cabinets that brought competitive fun to local arcades to the revolutionary home consoles of the 80s and 90s, the gaming industry has consistently pushed the boundaries of technology, engagement, and accessibility. The transition from single-player experiences to online multiplayer changed how we interacted with games, while the rise of mobile gaming made entertainment more accessible than ever. Today, we are witnessing another fundamental shift—one that redefines ownership, player autonomy, and economic participation in gaming. This shift is often referred to as "Web3 gaming".

Last Thursday, we hosted our first-ever "Play & Chat" AMA in style with CEOs (former and current). This was a special live session during which our community got to hang out with our new CEO, Nokkvi. We then dived deep into the GAIMIN ecosystem and the world of Gaming, with the CEO of Katana Inu in attendance. The CEOs played Katana Inu LIVE while discussing the key subjects and answering the community’s burning questions.

For years, game developers have relied on traditional distribution platforms like Steam and the Epic Games Store to reach players worldwide. Rightfully so, these platforms have delivered hundreds of thousands of games for developers worldwide. While these platforms provide essential visibility, they also have several drawbacks: high revenue cuts, discoverability challenges, limited engagement tools, and, most increasingly, a higher barrier to entry/launch.
