#377: Proof Of Play, Gaming, ApeChain & More

Grateful Crew

We sat down with Adam Fern from Proof of Play—ex-Cash App and the brain behind Pirate Nation and VRNG (verified on‑chain randomness). He broke down how Pirate Nation scaled to 180K users, crashed infra across EVM, and spurred the launch of tools now powering other Web3 games.

We also covered:

  • The ApeChain partnership and what’s cooking 👀
  • New marketplace tools for real-money trading
  • Why community and trust are everything in on-chain gaming
  • And yes, some low-key hints about a TGE and Proof of Play points…
  • And more...

Typical Tigers rolled through with alpha on ApeChain’s roadmap and how the broader community can help lift it all up. Meanwhile, Happy Ape shared what he’s building: a phygital children’s book and plush series with NFC/web3 features—teaching kids blockchain basics through storytime, complete with a digital minting experience via ApeChain
