In this episode we meet with Miko Matsumura, managing partner of gumi Cryptos Capital. We explored what mass adoption of web3 could look like - how the shorter 4-year Bitcoin cycle results in much faster infrastructure development but also a higher rate of fraud and scams, leading to much more aggressive institutional financial regulation. We then thought about how web2 could be co-opting web3 - taking its key selling points but avoiding tokenization and decentralization.We spoke about the effects of AI on web3 - AI to AI services replacing SaaS, decentralized compute and programmatic key management. Miko also introduced us to MPC - multi-party computation.We also delved into the topic of real world assets (RWA) or ZK proofs and their new identity and privacy applications in today’s digital climate. ⭐Miko Matsumuru, Managing Partner of gumi Cryptos Capital🔹 The Open Metaverse Podcast is brought to you by Animoca Brands' #tokenomics team, Mohamed Ezeldin and Mehdi Farooq.

Joining us this week is Mike Zajko, co-founder of Lattice Fund.The main focus of today’s podcast is DePIN - Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks, such as Helium, Render, Daylight, DIMO . We considered some of the challenges and constraints they imply, such as hardware and supply chain logistics which aren’t usually faced in crypto, as well as possible future use cases. Mike shared some of Lattice Fund’s recent exciting investments such as Delphia - a way for users to profit from selling their own data, and Karate Combat - a novel integration of up-only sports betting and token-incentivized fan participation.We also analyzed the 2021 seed round to see what proportion of web3 projects launched a product, found product-market-fit, and which proportion failed. Mike spoke about the potential drs of launching a token before launching a product. ⭐Mike Zajko, co-founder of Lattice Fund🔹 The Open Metaverse Podcast is brought to you by Animoca Brands' #tokenomics team, Mohamed Ezeldin and Mehdi Farooq.
