S4E8 Data Science in Web3 Gaming w. Helika CEO, Anton Umnov
Blockchain Won't Save the World - A podcast by Anthony Day - Saturdays
Web3 gaming is just getting started, but most people think it's just about the protocol or the tokens... What about the DATA?
We get a fascinating insight into what game developers need to create decentralised gaming economies... The team at Helika have worked with top studios like Yuga Labs, Proof of Play, Animoca Brands and many more, and have seen the early promise of Web3 gaming fall flat because of one particular challenge: DATA.
Actually, it's more than just data. It's how to design, collect, interpret and act on data; as well as designing a coherent game economy that can work in harmony with a decentralised crypto economy. No mean feat.
In this show we'll discuss:
- The maturity of the Web3 gaming ecosystem
- What makes Web3 hard for traditional game developers
- The importance of data for Web3 games
- What is different when it comes to decentralised games and digital assets
- Best practices for data management in gaming
- Advice to any company looking to build with Web3 tech
