On this episode of Stonks Go Moon, Rocco Strydom is joined by Mitja Goroshevsky, Co-Founder and CEO of GOSH, and former CTO of TON Labs, to talk about his latest project: Acki Nacki—a next-gen blockchain protocol designed to fix the scalability and latency problems most chains still face. Mitja breaks down how Acki Nacki uses a probabilistic consensus model to achieve fast finality, and how it's already attracted over 6 million users through a viral Telegram mini-app. Popit Games, is a fully on-chain, Turing-complete card game launching with a $500,000+ tournament, even before mainnet goes live. From building Rust-based infrastructure to running real-time gameplay without any servers, this episode is a wild ride into the future of Web3 gaming.About the Guest: Mitja GoroshevskyMitja is the Co-Founder and CEO of GOSH, and former CTO of TON Labs, where he led the Rust implementation of the TON Protocol. Now he’s focused on building Acki Nacki, a scalable blockchain protocol designed for real-time apps and high-throughput environments—starting with on-chain games.What We Cover:Why Mitja left TON Labs to build something from scratchThe invention of Acki Nacki Consensus, a probabilistic model for blockchainThe insane logistics behind onboarding 6M+ users via TelegramPopit Games: a Turing-complete card game running entirely on-chainHow a $500K+ esports-style tournament is launching before mainnetStreaming real-time gameplay directly from blockchain dataThe serverless future of decentralized games and appsJoin the Tournament:https://www.ackinacki.com/Or go directly to https://popitgames.ackinacki.com/ to register.Follow Mitja & GOSHhttps://x.com/ackinackichain
