cat’s out of the bag — we’ve raised $9M from the best investors in crypto (incl. @polychain , @westcoastbill , @sundeep , @avarma , @steveklbnf , @HendoVentures , @YODOUGH , @ernopp and others) to bridge the worlds of web3 and real-money sports gaming

Polychain bets on HotStreak to streamline sports betting using blockchain

HotStreak, a web3 platform for daily fantasy sports contests, is wagering the decentralized nature of the blockchain makes it an ideal solution for DFS platforms.

If I have not made this clear to everyone already - I think the vast majority of generative NFT projects will become terminally illiquid, through market saturation and boredom and ETH strength. The flippers in this market inflate volumes & create a false sense of real interest.

Square Enix just sold off 3 game studios, 1,100 employees, and a back catalog of over 50 games (Tom Raider, Deus Ex, etc) for $300M, so it totally makes sense that pre-product play-to-earn games are raising at that same valuation

Square Enix sells all of its Western game studios—and their games—to Embracer

$300 million deal includes "over 50" classic games' rights, over 1,000 devs.

I generally think devs spend 100x too much time agonizing over which language or framework to use, but in this case the hype around @expo is warranted. It’s a major reason we’ve been able to ship a best-in-class app across 3 platforms with with 1 (!!!) frontend engineer (🙋🏻‍♂️)
