When it comes to NFTs and blockchain gaming, very few companies can rival with Animoca Brands’ early conviction, investment thesis and time horizon. They understood early on that community building and network effects are the core pillars for a true paradigm shift in gaming. However, culture and narratives transcend the boundaries of gaming, becoming social phenomena. Animoca’s latest undertaking, the Mocaverse, aims to unite communities in a truly open metaverse.

We were joined by Yat Siu, chairman of Animoca Brands, to discuss the importance of digital culture in our modern-day lives and how NFT ownership unlocks community building in the open metaverse.

Topics covered in this episode:

• Yat’s background and Animoca Brands’ interest in NFTs
• Digital culture & narratives
• Animoca Brands’ investment thesis
• Blockchain & NFT adoption by Web2 brands
• Financial inclusion & financial literacy
• Ownership & play-to-earn gaming: East vs. West
• NFT use cases & IP rights
• Interoperability
• Decentralisation & the value of ownership
• Mocaverse
• Long-term vision & the open metaverse

Don't miss out on the opportunity to potentially make a 200x return on your investment!

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Peter Pan, partner at 1kx, about how to identify successful early stage web3 projects, why certain NFT projects from the last bull run succeeded while others failed, and how we might be able to simulate real life physics in a digital environment. 1kx is an early stage investment firm that specializes in ecosystem growth.

One of the hardest things to do in this space is to separate the hype from what’s real, and Peter does a great job of explaining how he analyzes various web3 projects to determine which ones will last the test of time. While most investors focus on the standard rhetoric of - you want to look at who the founder is, who the team is, Peter’s thinking goes much deeper into what are the foundational layers of the project and what it’s aiming to accomplish, and what impact can this project have on the broader tech space (not just the web3 space).

We talk a lot about the role of community in shaping the success of a web3 project, and this led us down a rabbit hole of reminiscing and analyzing some of the NFT projects that rose to fame during the 2021 NFT craze. It’s really interesting to look back on some of the NFT projects I hedged my bets on back in 2021 and see where they are today (and how wrong I was about them). 

Finally, we talk about autonomous worlds, onchain gaming, and why Peter is a proponent of being able to simulate real world scenarios in a digital sandbox environment. We wrap up with some hot takes on community building that Peter shared in seemingly contradictory tweets back in late 2021 - early 2022 and give him a chance to explain the context in which he wrote those tweets.

Axie Infinity - game NFT đắt nhất thế giới; Hiện tượng sau Flappy Bird; Niềm tự hào của Blockchain Việt Nam; Cây cầu dẫn đến tài chính phi tập trung,...

Đó là tất cả những câu từ mỹ miều nhất được dành cho tựa game nổi đình đám trong năm 2021 vừa qua - Axie Infinity. Nhưng giờ đây, nó lại là một nỗi thất vọng, khi mà từ một thứ vô cùng tiềm năng, giờ đây mới thể hiện ra được bộ mặt thật của mình: KHÔNG KHÁC GÌ MỘT VỤ SCAM. 

Vậy Axie Infinity có gì mà lại hot đến vậy? Game NFT có đáng để đầu tư, hay là “chơi”? Qua số Podcast ngày hôm nay, hãy cùng chúng mình “giải mã” hiện tượng game Blockchain nổi tiếng nhất năm 2021 vừa qua nhé!

Forget advertising-driven streaming video business models - and even subscription-based models. At least that's what new web3/NFT blockchain-based streaming film and TV service Rewarded.TV wants. The company has introduced an entirely new "Watch to Earn" business model by which viewers get PAID and rewarded simply for watching. The more they watch, the more they earn. Think this is fantasy? Well, think again. The video games business is already being rocked by its controversial "Play to Earn" model, with notorious game Axie Infinity leading the way. So how should we think about all of this? Real (or not)? Good for the entertainment industry and consumers (or not)? Peter lays out all the "pros" and "cons" in this special episode of "Fearless Media." As always, check out Peter's Creative Media - and follow Peter on Twitter.

Degen Deep Dive

Beanstalk Farms Flash Loan Governance Attack

TLDR: On April 17th, 2022 an attacker used a barrage of flash loans to purchase a majority of BEAN tokens, the native governance token for Beanstalk Farms. Using this temporarily loaned voting power allowed them successfully pass an emergency governance proposal that drained the protocol of 76M in assets, sent 250K of the stolen money to the Ukraine War Fund, and sent the price of the stable BEAN tumbling.

victim: bean.money aka Beanstalk

From the whitepaper:

Attacker:

   150M USDT
3. Bought 32M BEAN on Uniswap V2

6. Voted for and passed, BIP-18 & 19 (malicious proposals)
7. Pull back liquidity
8. Repay flash loans
9. Converted all received funds into 24,800 ETH ($76M)
10. ETH moved to TornadoCash
