During a Q&A session on the Reddit forum, Sandeep Naiwal was asked if he sees any “real-life” applications of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, with the exception of trading and payments.
“I think computer games are a huge opportunity for the cryptocurrency space. In the next 6-18 months, large-scale game projects with Web3 support will be launched, and it will be very interesting for me to watch their development and adoption. Last year, funding for Web3 games exceeded $2 billion,” the Polygon co-founder replied.
At the same time, Naival emphasized that it was Polygon, together with players working in the project’s ecosystem, like Immutable X, that became the home for these games. He also noted that there is nothing surprising in the large number of speculators in the cryptocurrency market – new and promising technologies attract not only talents, but also various speculators, scammers and criminals. He compared the current situation to the Gold Rush and the dot-com boom.
“Cryptocurrencies are still in the early stages of development. I don’t think there are truly decentralized ecosystems outside of Bitcoin and Ethereum. We need progressive decentralization of protocols and applications,” said Sandeep Najwal.
Note that recently a popular anonymous analyst under the pseudonym Pentoshi also spoke about the bright prospects for blockchain-based computer games.
