Today I'm sitting down with Zach and Theo, two members from the team of Crypto Quest  an ambitious gaming project launching on the Solana Blockchain. Crypto Quest I think is best explained in its components as its such a huge project. First they have their fully customizable NFT collection that draws inspiration from tabletop rpgs that allows the owner to fully customize their characters appearance and stats. You then use your character in their universe of p2e games to challenge other players in PVP games to earn their $zalta token and other items and resources.  I was introduced to the project from a fellow monke in monkedao who is helping them build and so i had Zach and Theo on to learn more about what they're building. This was a very fun conversation and I always love to see fully doxxed creators trying to build interesting things.

Today I'm sitting down with two team members from the NFT project Lost at Sea. Lost at sea is an NFT project put together by a bunch of friends who grew up together on long island They started with a simple goal of creating an NFT project to give back and With the proceeds from their mint they were able to donate $20,000 to Team Seas which will help to remove 20,000 lbs of plastic from the ocean. Now the team is working on executing its roadmap and delivering a 3d collection, a staking system and a p2e game all slated to come in the coming weeks and months. In the current wild west that is the current state of the Solana NFT ecosystem, it was nice to find a team that is trying their best to make a difference in the world and is in it for the long run for their holders.

Today i sit down with Evan Ryer, or as he's better known online, Ryan Ever the founder of Bravo Ready 1, an incredibly interesting project on the Solana Blockchain. Explained simply, BR1 is a 3rd person shooter battle royale game where you pay to spawn in and earn SOL for every player you take out. A true skill based play to earn game. In this interview, Evan goes over his project, his reactions to the FUD and subsequent slow mint of the genesis BR1 NFTs and his thoughts on why he is helping to contribute to the development of the next evolution of gaming. Really fascinating guy with tons of credentials building large businesses in the gaming space. This was a really fun interview to do.

Update 2/2/22 - It appears that right after we posted the podcast, the developer for Senshi Samurai rugged the LP and ran off with a lot of money. Rumors this dev is also associated with Cyberkatz. Story is still developing but its pretty wild. This is the reason we always give the warning at the beginning of the podcast about only using money you can afford to lose. We are in the wild west and unfortunately, these types of things happen.

Buy some Tech Folk on the secondary market: https://magiceden.io/marketplace/tech_folk

Tech Folk is on the surface level a P2E game where you assemble a team and keep them together level up your NFTs and build a bigger web 3 company. On a deeper level however, tech folk is a social experiment of sorts where another goal of this project is to form a community of like minded by diversely skilled people who can work together to launch real world web 3 start ups and projects. Sort of like a cross between a DAO and an incubator. Really interesting concept so in this episode we get into the mechanics and how to's of the P2E game and also Lance's grander vision of what tech folk can become to the Solana ecosystem.
