Blockwork: What kind of games and projects are Magic Ventures looking to invest in?
Zhao: In the first wave of Web3 games, we saw NFT game studios trying to compete directly with high-end game IP in Web2 space. Nowadays, Web3 game projects have gained significant market momentum by introducing innovative applications of real-world user interaction and blockchain technology, rather than directly competing with traditional game studios to launch high-concept games. I have won.Games like Stepn Launching the Walk-to-Earn mechanism and featuring Battle Pass Minting, the Mini Royale became an example of early NFT gaming innovations. Magic Ventures considers games that demonstrate the same ability to provide an immersive, seamless and unique gaming experience.
Blockwork: Which aspect of the blockchain-based game is Magic Eden most excited about?

We are very excited to explore this new frontier with our developers and partners and repeat everything from market infrastructure and tokenomics to game marketing and NFT game education for new users coming to space.
It provides game developers with essential tools and operational support. Unfortunately, game development takes a long time and there are many issues that builders have to deal with. For example, monetary technology, in-game market governance, user acquisition, etc.
Blockwork: How is the Metaverse tied to these plans?
Zhao: We believe that web3 games will be mainstream with millions of users using blockchain and technology will be widely adopted. However, the game and Metaverse projects are still in their infancy. The biggest challenge with web3 games is the need for better, easier to play, and more fun games. This takes time to build.
Despite these challenges, gaming NFT cases are powerful. We also know that game user behavior overlaps with the existing NFT community, including social, player status referrals, and digital ownership. Blockchain technology introduces innovative gameplay that leverages digital ownership through in-game NFT assets and benefits everyone, including both players and game creators.
