We have some unfortunate news to share today - The Gum team will be stepping away from developing the protocol & @wordcel_club going forward.

[Gum ✨🔑 @gumisfunn]

🚨 Huge announcement for all the gamoooors!

We have partnered up with @magicblock and integrated our Session Keys into the @solana Unity SDK!

This is going to supercharge games on Solana🧵

Web3 Gaming: The Uncharted Path to Mass Adoption
by @gumisfunn on @wordcel_club

Building consumer social apps is hard
🔹 lack of initial network effects
🔹 competition
🔹 bad user experience
-> people don't like change and only follow incentives

Online multiplayer games is a mix of
🔹 Fun
🔹 Social utility 
🔹 Competition/completing goals

Global gaming market $230B -> $350B in 5y
Mobile gaming +$100B by 2025
Web3 gaming +$40B by 2025

Challenges Faced by Web3 games
🔹 Technical complexity and poor user experience
-> steep learning curve
🔹 Scalability issues
🔹 Misaligned incentives in Play-to-Earn models
-> people don't play game to earn money
🔹 Hard to design engaging and immersive experiences
-> hard to build smooth games

With the development of fast, scalable and cheap L1s like @SuiNetwork or @solana, developers have the best tools to build amazing Web3 games.

When I read quality content, I take notes for my future self. In this tweet I share this note with you!
Thanks Gum for providing value.

who else wants invites?

[Gum ✨🔑 @gumisfunn]

@PoetryDude_ @KEMOS4BE @phase_ @tinydancerio DM @paarugsethi your SNS/backpack username - we’ll send you an invite to @wordcel_club!

Everyone agrees that DePIN has massive potential, especially on @solana.

But here's what you don't know - Gum can help 10x this progress towards mass adoption.

Here's how🧵

[Gum ✨🔑 @gumisfunn]

A world where you own your data, you control your digital footprint, and you decide how it's used.

Send them this thread if someone asks you for a use case that crypto enables.

🧵

[Gum ✨🔑 @gumisfunn]

Consumer crypto is at an inflexion point.

People who will build sticky apps that can hook the masses stand to gain exponentially in the next few years.

Here are a few tips on how you could build the next breakout crypto app.

🧵

[Paarug Sethi @paarugsethi]

If you had told me one year ago this is what crypto apps would look like in 2023, I would not have believed you at all.

Well, here we are. Only on @solana.

[Gum ✨🔑 @gumisfunn]

Last week was HUGE for the @solana ecosystem and there's a ton of stuff that needs to be celebrated.

So here we are.

Another weekly round-up of everything that happened in Solana City🧵

[Gum ✨🔑 @gumisfunn]

What are Session Keys?

Here's @shek_dev explaining what session keys are, how they work & how they can improve your crypto app's UX.

🔑✨

[Gum ✨🔑 @gumisfunn]

Session Keys make the UX of crypto apps seamless.

Do you know what else is seamless? Integrating them into your dApp.

Here's how you can add session keys to your @solana programs like you're chewing gum.

[Wordcel Club @wordcel_club]

@mk4_lul @mert @0xameya @viamirror inspired by the meme in the early days but the thesis was to build for folks in crypto that are both rotators and wordcels (800M, 800V as balaji calls it)

[Gum ✨🔑 @gumisfunn]

Wordcel
/wəːdsɛl/ noun
wordcel is a term used to define someone with high verbal intelligence who’s "good with words" but feels inadequately compensated for their skill, the "cel" suffix denoting frustration over being denied something they feel they deserve.

[Wordcel Club @wordcel_club]

@crashtestjustin @mert @0xameya @viamirror 100% with you there! we’ve been working on a bunch of things (shoutouts to you guys for all the feedback) on these lines + opening up the product for everyone to use.

so many updates on features, access etc. will be closely aligned with things cooking up at @gumisfunn soon!
