For episode 470, CPO Riccardo Sibani joins Brandon Zemp to discuss My Neighbor Alice. Itβs the first open-world multiplayer blockchain game, resembling Animal Crossing but enhanced with blockchain features. It was launched in early 2021 and became Binance's 2021 Project of the Year with a market cap near $1B.
Players explore, gather resources, and create NFTs for their avatars and land. The game promotes self-expression through upcoming user-generated content tools and offers a relaxing, collaborative space. Built on the Chromia blockchain, it will soon be fully on-chain, a first for this platform.
Riccardo entered Web3 in 2016 as a blockchain developer, contributing to FinTech, DevOps, NFT protocols, and games in technical and business roles. He joined My Neighbor Alice at its inception in 2020.
