Honored to have hosted a breakfast discussion during the World Economic Forum (@wef), bringing together global thought leaders to explore the future of tokenization and real-world asset innovation. #WEF2026

Our leadership team @ysiu @EvanAuyang @alanlau999 was joined by Hong Kong’s Financial Secretary, the Honourable Paul Chan, Franklin Templeton (@FTI_Global) CEO Jenny Johnson, @colossal CEO @BenLamm, and other visionaries driving digital transformation in finance.

Grateful for the insights shared in advancing meaningful dialogue on responsible innovation and the future of digital assets.

Game publishing is broken.

Brutally misaligned revenue shares. Cut‑throat targets. Chasing trends over creative possibilities. Game projects are fighting for life.

At Portal we believe in a fairer distribution of value: for builders, partners, and players. Portal exists to catapult game projects into proven flywheels.

Portal is a:

1. Growth Engine - to fund and publish games to win UA and distribution.

2. Unified Infrastructure - with tools that align studios and gamers with shared economies.

3. Ecosystem Builder - our successes will fuel the next breakout titles in our network.

Our vision, shared with @animocabrands, is a unified ecosystem that benefits studios, holders, and gamers through our product suite and strategic funding.

$PORTAL sits at the core of this ecosystem, establishing an index for the future of gaming through its genre-spanning portfolio of games, platforms and economic models.

To our community: thank you for believing. We’ll be making our first partnership announcements in the coming days.

Portal into better gaming.

Everyone is talking about Anichess but no one, literally no one is talking about the brilliant minds powering @AnichessGame
Anichess was founded by @animocabrands and built with @chesscom, they're backed by legends like @MagnusCarlsen. Now let's talk bout the crew and key contributors.

First of all, I’ll be talking about @jesusislord, the Founder & Product Lead. Chevan vision blends classic chess with spell mechanics to combat cheating and spark creativity (yeah, creativity in another positive dimension). From ex-@BCG strategist to leading Anichess growth (1M+ wallets, 100K+ MAU), he is the heartbeat of this great chess innovation.

Second on my list is @bchan8938, Head of Anichess. Brian Chan turns ideas into execution (so simple right?) haha, Chan launched PvE puzzles in Jan 2024, PvP in Oct 2024 and scaling to 150K DAU. Wondering bout his partnership magic? Securing @chesscom, @MagnusCarlsen for balance and @TeamSecret for esports. Orchestrating a movement, not just a game but a whole hella movement. @AnichessGame

Third leader on my list is @Emilio_Padulo, Tokenomics & Economy Design. Emilio crafts the $CHECK ecosystem (TGE Q4 2025), ensuring fair rewards, governance and 55%+ community allocation. His designs make every puzzle, match and Orb of power count toward real ownership. A hella sustainable growth visionary in my book.

Next is, @tomho_, Technical Project Lead. Tom builds the robust backend for seamless PvP, AI coaching and blockchain integration on Base. From mana systems to spell casts, his tech ensures fair play and scalability for 600M+ global chess fans. The unsung engine room hero. Now we have to sing his praises out there.

Next is, @moonryu_, Community Lead. Moon Ryu fosters the 40K+ Discord Community from daily events to co creating lore like Tempest the Storm Weaver. She's the bridge turning players into builders, with Community Wars and guilds making Anichess feel alive.

And yeah, lest i forget. Shoutout to ambassadors fueling the fire: @radioralo (top Axie vet, PvP beast), @RivAnichess (chaotic strategist & guide), @ronggoanichess (ambassador extraordinaire), @TQ_Games (core creator & SauceSquad founder). Plus GMs @anishgiri, @DavidHowellGM, @DavidAntonGM, Sopiko Guramishvili. All the whole Anichess Legends.

This team blend of chess heritage, Web3 smarts and community love is checkmating the future. With $CHECK powering it all, Anichess isn't just evolving chess, it's changing it and In all you do everyday don’t forget to always $CHECK in on Anichess!!!

gCheck to everyone!

[tomh.md @NFTom_ETH]

Sunday $CHECK-in for @AnichessGame — bringing GameFi back.

UGC is the unlock
Creators → Content → Players → Growth → More Creators.

In GameFi this loop is even stronger: creators aren’t just making content, they’re building assets with real ownership + upside.

Starting with Anichess Puzzle Maker, then on-chain with $CHECK — powering creator ownership + revenue share. The flywheel is only getting started.

[Daveyson @king_koddy]

Meet the minds building the future of chess 👇🏽

➦ Brian Chan (@bchan8938) – Head of Anichess
➦ Emilio Padulo (@Emilio_Padulo) – Tokenomics & Economy Design
➦ Chevan Tin – Product Lead
➦ Tom Ho – Technical Project Lead

Backed by @animocabrands, https://t.co/S7eOypO4Cj & Magnus Carlsen, @AnichessGame isn’t starting from zer,. It takes the world’s most iconic strategy game and layers in Web3 ownership, spell mechanics & new competitive modes.

The vision? Unlock competition, collaboration & digital ownership for 150M+ players. If executed right, Anichess won’t just be a game, it’ll be a cultural bridge bringing chess into Web3.

This is only the opening move. ♟️ $CHECK

Most people have Animoca completely wrong

The narrative is we're just a big VC fund that invests in everything

Here's what actually happened:

From 2017-2021, we invested heavily in gaming and culture because that was our thesis. When the NFT boom hit, it looked like we were right. Our valuation exploded.

Then Apple, Google and Steam killed Web3 gaming distribution after FTX.

Most of our portfolio companies couldn't reach users. Crypto was in a deep bear market.

So we evolved

Now we're building the infrastructure the next billion users actually need:

* Identity systems that work (Mocaverse)
* Financial education (Open Campus)
* Access through stablecoins (Anchor Point)

We're trying to fulfill our mission and build products with deep Web3 capabilities that regular people will use without knowing they're using blockchain.

Consumer adoption follows a simple pattern - 99% of products fail to change behavior. The 1% that succeed either make people significant money or eliminate friction from something they already do.

See, distribution is everything. Web2 platforms control consumer access. Anything requiring app store approval or browser wallet installs has a distribution ceiling.

Web2 companies already have distribution, but they lack the ability to mange their own financial rails, and that's what Animoca is solving for

Going forward I'm going to start sharing more insights on Animoca's strategy, our investment framework, and how we actually think about scaling consumer adoption in crypto.

@kim_gaetz How can you hid fund in Bitcoin if everything can be tracked on chain? All the way up to where the initial liquidity was seeded from?

Do you understand how blockchain works lol?

@guyfelicella Nice kid

[Happy @HappyGMI]

Just had a call with @jonahlau_, which confirmed two things I've been observing for a while:

1. Crypto is most interesting space to network right now.

The diversity, depth and quality of people in the space is unparalleled.

Jonah is a prime example of that. He:
→ Started his career in law
→ Quit to learn coding
→ Became an entrepreneur
→ Led crypto teams in high-growth environments

2. The @animocabrands team is GOATed. 🐐

Every time I meet someone from Animoca, turns out they're great people with sharp minds, who know how to execute with quality and lead with purpose.

Shout out to @lucainweb3, @Mayouchild, @TherealSpatrick, @rabiadreams, @Emilio_Padulo, @shine_nanigans & others I've met over the years - you know who you are.

This seems to be a cultural trait at the company level, and I truly think we're lucky to have them act as an ambassador/leader for Web3.
