Opening Speech by TM Lee & Bobby Ong, Co-founders of CoinGecko

Keynote: Current State of Web3 Games

AAA Games draw eyeballs with high-end production values and engrossing gameplay, seeking to capture the attention of serious gamers. However those are not the only games in the market - casual games that utilize Move-to-Earn, Tap-to-Earn, or idle type gameplay has also proliferated, particularly on mobile platforms. We bring together developers from both sides of this spectrum to discuss why they pursued their respective paths, what are the common ground or differences, and how they plan to get to a million DAUs.&nbsp;

Whether that be providing feedback during early access, recommending the game via word-of-mouth, creating content to drum up more hype, the community plays a pivotal role in the success or failure of a game. We speak with the movers and shakers in the gaming community, how they view the current pool of Web3 gamers, and what has worked thus far for them in bringing attention to their beloved games.

With the advent of faster, cheaper, and more scalable chains, game devs are spoilt for choice when it comes to picking a blockchain stack to build on. However not all chains are created equal, and we speak to a diverse panel on what sets certain chains apart from others, whether we truly need dedicated gaming chains, and how developers land on a choice of where to deploy to.

Gaming Storefronts and AppStores are a cornerstone of game distribution these days. Steam is an institution unto itself, and not being listed on the iOS AppStore, Google Playstore, Playstation Store or Microsoft Store means you're locked out of wide swath of gamers. At the same time, Web2 Games depend on large established publishers to help promote and market their games. We discuss the practical challenges of being listed on storefronts, and working with publishers to reach a wider audience.

More attention has been paid to SEA, as the number of users grow exponentially and teams building in the region explode, giving credence to crypto as a truly borderless and democratized industry. We are obviously having this event just before DevCon, the premier global Ethereum event, and Solana just held their Breakpoint conference in Singapore back in September. We speak to builders in this region from many different backgrounds to talk about why SEA has become a hotbed for crypto and crypto projects, and their journey thus far to break out on to the global stage.
