Trading, participating, yield farming, liquidity pools, and all of DeFi and crypto is high risk and dangerous. If you decide to participate, do your own research.

Roy Blackstone has a long history in crypto and it is one of ongoing pursuit of excellence and primarily success. There is a lot to learn from how he builds and plans his projects and makes them successful.

Why originality is critical.

How they make crypto a critical, but light element.

How the focus is on game first and how current game NFT models are inherently broken or wrong.

Games are incredibly difficult to make successful. There are so many elements to combine to make them interesting, captivating, fun, and addictive. Roy Blackstone thinks that he, his partner, and their team can make it happen with their crypto game called Shadow War. It is a unique spin on gaming components, with a light touch of crypto, but with the focus on a powerful story and gaming experience as the first and foremost priority.

We also covered his previous project Chain Binders and my goal to turn it into a fundraising mechanism for projects.

They've hired world class developers and creatives to take on this big task, but from my experience working with Roy, if anyone can pull it off, it is Roy.

We cover how he came up with the game, how he found AAA talent to build it and got them to buy into his vision.

Dunks and the team at Amplifi are creating a powerful new platform to help DeFi projects easily reward community members, affiliates, and content producers for promoting their projects, but based on onchain actions. It is something every project needs to ramp up growth and any DAO should be looking to the team to help them not only implement the tech for tracking, but also implement their content and strategies.

In addition this is a powerful opportunity for marketers, strategists, and content creators to join the community and earn significant revenue from their talents and skills.

Allen Hena of @Vayner3 joins to discuss his really needed and cool project @dotearth_ which makes understanding and visualizing transactions on chain easier and better than @etherscan's default interface, especially for newbies, but also includes cool concepts around ENS Avatars and token gated equity. Powerful project and we discuss the potential beyond where they are today with it.
