Pleasure chatting guys. We're really excited for how this can accelerate the timeline for mainstream Web3 games and make building for developers way easier.

I play Gods Unchained and Tower Defense Heroes ... so this partnership is right up my alley!

Every time Robbie says End Game, take a drink

Thankyou for this Show. I have about $15, 000 in IMX tokens. After watching the GDC I thought Polygon was just taking over IMX and IMX token was going to $0. I now understand that things are actually way better for IMX.... LOL for 20:30 there no way anyone outside of crypto will understand what's actually happening.

[mariocandia]

is sandeep referencing sequencer staking, once it decentralizes? 13:25 ?

[rontman]

Decentralization for Polygon is a bullet point under "Future Work".

@41:20 polygon BD is relationships with builders - sandeep

[nukeout]

I tried the airdrop thing and it told me I have absolutely nada. How do you get stuff? 😅

[brendan]

Maybe I missed it near the beginning, but what does "BD" stand for? Is it just business development or something else?

[heromixofficial]

Can a dApp use all the protocols simultaneously..just to prove the transactions are happening on chain transparently???!!

[dit]

TSM (reach of over 30M gamers) just launched their own subnet on Avalanche.
David: I haven't heard anything about gaming on Avalanche 😅 The problem of living in your own bubble.

[jondiamond]

Gme stock is back on the table!! Cant stop wont stop GameStop!

[pluginpirate]

Surely developers will flock to web3 😂😂

Hi All, has the IMX team provided a response to the recent GAM report stating that 95% of the trading volumes on Gods Unchained, Illuvium and Blocklords is artificial?
