In this episode, I talk to Alexsander Larsen, the COO of Axie Infinity about the background to and future of the breeding-and-battling blockchain game, which is a great example of technological expertise and community focus.
Topics covered include:
- How Alexsander got into blockchain games and connected with Axie Infinity’s founders (Trung and Jeff)
- How the game was influenced by CryptoKitties, notably in terms of creating item value
- Axie Infinity’s recent Land sale and the vision for the Lunacia open world in future years
- Funding and dealing with the CryptoWinter
- The road to mainstream adoption of blockchain games
- Axie Infinity’s goal to move from an Ethereum and Metamask-gated game to a more open meta-chain experience
- And how the blockchain gaming sector is likely to fare in 2019
