The Third Web

Joining me today is Stephen Tual is a one time member of the Ethereum team and one of the founders of Slock.it, a project that aims to be Ethereum’s bridge to the internet of things.

Free My Vunk is a movement to port game items and assets into the blockchain. The goal is to give control of these hard won in game rewards entirely to the players themselves. On the surface this seems like a simple, maybe even mundane use case but the significance a gamer may attach to a specific achievement can be a real source of economic value. We see this in phenomena like world of warcraft gold mining and character sale.

This is an especially interesting project due to the numerous collaborations involved. From Digix and Colony to Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs.

On the first of this month Roman Mandeleil and the ether camp team kicked off the first decentralised ethereum based hackathon. It was a tremendous opportunity to see the developer community showcase the ideas that were simmering away behind the scenes. There were a ton of solid entries and hundreds of people active in the ether camp slack. All tolled the event was a roaring success and showed that the grass roots development community is vibrant and active.
