Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Greg Osuri | Founder of Akash Network — Liberty, Community, and the Future of Decentralized AI
Q: How do you view the balance between token economics and real user value for Web3 projects?
Tokens must serve actual product use cases and align with diverse user personas—from developers deploying on Akash to institutional buyers—while maintaining a healthy separation where possible, but recognizing their intertwining role in governance, incentives, and ecosystem growth.
Greg Osuri | Founder of Akash Network — Liberty, Community, and the Future of Decentralized AI
Q: What were the biggest challenges in building Akash, especially through bear markets and market skepticism?
Maintaining team motivation across cycles, resisting investor pressure to prematurely add features like smart contracts, and staying focused on a market-driven roadmap while proving the viability of an open, decentralized cloud platform.
Greg Osuri | Founder of Akash Network — Liberty, Community, and the Future of Decentralized AI
Q: Why Web3 from your perspective, and what early signals drew you to this space?
Web3 embodies liberty and permissionless collaboration. The shift toward distributed, trust-minimized systems reduces fragility and enables scaling at the edge, which aligns with my long-standing interest in open, open-source infrastructure and open-access AI.
Gabby Dizon | Co-Founder of Yield Guild Games — Tokenomics and In-Game Economies
Q: How did YGG evolve from its初始 concept to today's on-chain guild infrastructure?
He explains the progression from the Axie scholarship model to questing and reputation systems, and finally to on-chain guilds with identity, membership, and soulbound tokens, turning YGG into a platform-like protocol for guilds across games.
Gabby Dizon | Co-Founder of Yield Guild Games — Tokenomics and In-Game Economies
Q: What do you think is the most exciting thing about Web3 gaming?
Gabby highlights that the most exciting trend is the emergence of multiple playable games, moving beyond early prototypes to real experiences, which signals tangible progress in the space.
