@Berna7224 Valley 👾 We connect real arcade cabinets to an online arcade, turning bars and venues into places your game finds new players, no wallet needed.
400K+ online plays, 12+ live games and a 4-venue pilot. We're betting Web3 gaming's next wave starts IRL.

@iceyyy_gaming@Berna7224 Very much agree with this take. The underlying infrastructure should have been the first focus. Instead we got late stage, fully on-chain games from the jump. This was ripe for scammers and MEV.
We should have started with simplicity for the players with say....arcade games.
i left Cursor.
after 10 years inside the tech bubble in San Francisco, Cursor felt like the sharpest version of that world – fast, intense, ambitious, full of people trying to pull the future closer.
i’m leaving with gratitude, but also with the feeling that i need a different rhythm.
slower time. different weather. more culture, aliveness, and humans in the everyday.
Asia feels like the right place to begin again.
to stay grounded, experience life more fully, and build freely.
i’ll share what i find along the way!
We brought the arcade to @ethconf and you all turned it into a battleground.
High scores set. Records broken. Joysticks barely survived.
Where should Valley land next? 🛸
At ETHConf 2026, most activations relied on technical demos and presentations. @ValleyEcosystem dropped a physical cabinet on the floor with a leaderboard, and attendees kept coming back.
The reality about Web3 onboarding:
Friction kills adoption. If your first step is forcing a player to download a wallet and learn crypto terminology, you've already lost them.
Valley Arcade proved that competition and tangible rewards drive engagement far more effectively than technical explanations.
People don't want to be "onboarded" into blockchain. They want to have fun. If the gameplay loop is compelling, the onboarding happens seamlessly in the background.
What was the most important takeaways from @ethconf ?
@BGameAlliance 🚀🙌🏻 thanks for the post! We make web3 completely invisible to the player walking up to the cabinet. Removing the friction is so important for mass adoption!
The Valley Arcade is live at ETHConf by @ValleyEcosystem.
Games and tournaments running all day on the floor. Take a break between sessions and go play. 👀🕹️
That's a wrap on Day 1 of ETHConf. 🗽
From packed stages and technical deep dives to hallway conversations and new connections, NYC showed up.
We're just getting started. See you tomorrow.
Play games, earn rewards, and walk away with an Ethereum wallet.
@ValleyEcosystem makes it all possible.
