In this episode of Chain Reaction, host Feroz Lakhani sits down with EJ Ayala, Head of Partnerships at Ex Populus and core contributor to XAI blockchain, to discuss the evolution of Web3 gaming.
EJ shares insights on XAI's origin as a Layer 3 blockchain on Arbitrum created to solve actual gaming problems, and introduces Raijin.gg - their new platform that rewards Steam gamers with real-world prizes for achievements.
The conversation explores how Web3 gaming is moving beyond unsustainable play-to-earn models to create genuine value for mainstream gamers. EJ explains their approach of meeting gamers where they are - focusing on gameplay first while gradually introducing blockchain benefits without the technical jargon that alienates traditional gaming audiences.
Perfect for gamers interested in earning rewards for their achievements, developers looking to attract players to their games, and anyone curious about the future intersection of gaming and blockchain technology.
