When I discovered GameFi, I went all in—no backup plan. I still firmly believe gamification will shape the future of crypto, alongside DeFi and DePin.
With Crypto Miner 2 launching soon and the bull run knocking, I’ve never been more excited!
Great things are coming!

One of my obsessions in the work field over the last 4-5 years has been how to solve tokenomics in web3 gaming, once and for all. This particular challenge provides a lot of headaches for game designers who are building blockchain games.
Why is it so challenging?
- It is really hard to make it work.
- It is really hard to make it simple.
The game economy design has never been this complex.
My problem is that I know it can be solved. The solution will not come from one of the big, well-known companies. It will come from a team or a person who is obsessed with that one particular thing.
And I'm committed.
Anyone who has tried to build something from the ground up knows the solutions don't come from a single iteration. They often come from looking in different directions and trying different approaches. Once you get onto something, you have that initial spark that you can use to start iterating on and moving toward your final solution.
I got that initial spark when Ethereum migrated to proof of stake, enabling holders to earn additional yield.
I was hyped about it. We created a first tokenomics iteration but didn't release it. Why? I knew it could be better, and it must be better to onboard Web2 users.
At the beginning of this year, I visited a local coffee shop to revisit our plan and think about how it could be improved.
Do you know how to improve your product or idea best? Simplify it.
That's how I finally came up with the idea that is by far the most loved and understood by people when I pitch it to them.
Will it succeed? I don't know.
What do I know? I know I, or somebody else, will keep iterating on it.
Meet the core idea of OG Pass by OpenGaming, the initiative trying to solve the most complex thing in web3 gaming.
More details are coming soon.
Exciting News: Our Telegram MiniApp is Live! 🚀
We're thrilled to announce the successful launch of our Telegram MiniApp this week! 🎉
Check it out here: https://t.co/ZHpBNTmvbj
The Telegram Gaming Revolution
You've likely heard about viral sensations like Hamster Kombat, Notcoin, or Catizen—apps that attracted millions of users in record time. Telegram gaming has taken the market by storm, and it's showing no signs of slowing down.
Introducing OpenGaming: Decentralizing Web3 Gaming
This year, we've developed an innovative product called OpenGaming. True to its name, we're bringing genuine decentralization to web3 gaming through a permissionless token distribution protocol.
Our vision came together seamlessly:
• Robust tokenomics (refined over years)
• Perfectly balanced distribution system
• Easy integration for all game developers
However, there was one missing piece in the whole plan.
The Missing Piece: Go-to-Market Strategy
When we discovered how Telegram MiniApps work, we knew we had to focus our efforts here. It gave us the same excitement we felt when developing Crypto Idle Miner back in 2018, and now we can get the attention of hundreds of millions of users!
Why Telegram MiniApps?
Not only is it highly accessible to 900 million users, but it also has some advantages that I see for now:
• 🚀 Immediate app launch – no installation required (avoiding the 70% user drop-off)
• ⚡ Lightning-fast loading times
• 💻 Easy development and deployment using modern web technologies
• 👥 Access to Telegram's massive web3 user community
• 💸 Cost-effective user acquisition through referral programs
• 💰 Monetization potential through Telegram Stars
What's Next?
After years of product development, we're excited to showcase our hard work. Stay tuned for exciting updates in the coming weeks!
