In this episode, I talk to Alexsander Larsen, the COO of Axie Infinity about the background to and future of the breeding-and-battling blockchain game, which is a great example of technological expertise and community focus.
Topics covered include:
How Alexsander got into blockchain games and connected with Axie Infinity’s founders (Trung and Jeff)
How the game was influenced by CryptoKitties, notably in terms of creating item value
Axie Infinity’s recent Land sale and the vision for the Lunacia open world in future years
Funding and dealing with the CryptoWinter
The road to mainstream adoption of blockchain games
Axie Infinity’s goal to move from an Ethereum and Metamask-gated game to a more open meta-chain experience
And how the blockchain gaming sector is likely to fare in 2019
