Can web3 gaming economies be sustainable? Absolutely. Time to get back to the math and away from the ponzinomics.

Join guest Matthew Morris, Sales Director of Machinations, alongside host Sam Peurifoy, CEO of Playground Labs, a web3/blockchain dev company. Machinations is a game economy modeling & monitoring toolset that enables developers to calibrate their assumptions and make well-informed gametime decisions on balancing mechanics. Matthew’s experience on the front lines of theorizing around user-owned economies and the subsequent economic mayhem that goes along with such make him a brilliant resource for exploring the advantages of the Machinations system and our broader partnership with them over at the Kapital DAO’s web3 gaming asset management platform.
