Sat, Oct 2, 2021, 12:00 AM

Meetup via video call again! Link will be shared before the meetup. Remember to stay safe and practice good hygiene if you do join in-person events =) Join Aleksander as he explains how Axie Infinity became the #1 Ethereum blockchain game by opening up their business model and allowing players to play to earn. If you're into blockchain gaming, this is for you! Our very own Vandal from DAOrecords will share about a new project he's been up to: NFTwrapper. He'll share the potential of wrapped NFTs with an introduction to NFTwrapper and a short demo on how to use it. --- Guest: Aleksander is the COO and Co-founder of Axie Infinity / Sky Mavis and is responsible for all things business-related. He has worked in the blockchain space since late 2017 with a focus on blockchain games and player-owned economies. He also serves on the board of directors in the Blockchain Game Alliance and holds the secretary position. Sky Mavis uses cutting edge fintech (mostly Blockchain) to make games that blur the lines between finance and gaming. Blockchain allows them to increase liquidity for game items while empowering players to co-own the universes that they build. Their first project, Axie Infinity is a Pokémon-inspired digital pet universe where players can battle, raise, and collect fantasy creatures called Axies. Currently, in early access, Axie Infinity has been ranked the #1 Ethereum game by daily, weekly, and monthly active users. It has generated over 6,000 ETH in revenue (1.7M USD) so far. --- Vandal is the founder of NFT music platform DAOrecords, embarking on a journey to reshape the music industry through the implementation of Web3 technology. As a partner, and together with NFTwrapper, he’s created the first liquid market for Audio NFTs with wTUNE on Uniswap. Jonathan is the Founder of Bittrees, a DeFi project growing technology around the emerging virtual worlds and their users. Bittrees’s first project is NFTwrapper. NFTwrapper is a vault protocol for creating automated liquidity. These vaults act as micro trusts and can be customized for each use case. --- Agenda: 8:00 PM | Monthly Ethereum Roundup 8:15 PM | Blending Gaming and DeFi by Axie Infinity 9:00 PM | A New Use Case for NFTs by NFTwrapper 9.15 PM | Short Discussion on Blockchain Gaming & NFTs 9:30 PM | End of meetup --- Target audience: Anyone interested in NFTs and blockchain gaming
