In these AMAs, Michael, Director at XPLA, shared his invaluable insights with Gomble and MapleStory Universe (leaders from both the Web2 and Web3 gaming realms) and Crypto.com(CEX).

Looking back at the past year, the blockchain gaming world hit some bumps, especially with the bear market casting a shadow over Web3 gaming. But here at XPLA, we saw these challenges as opportunities to think outside the box. We worked hard to bring in top-notch games and help Web2 players leap into Web3.

Now, we know switching gears can be tough for players used to Web2. At XPLA, we’re all about putting players first. Transitioning Web2 users to Web3 presents accessibility challenges, but XPLA aims to simplify the journey. That’s why we’re simplifying things. Take ‘The Walking Dead: All-Stars,’ for example. We made it so players can use in-game money instead of $XPLA to cover conversion fees. Free-to-play games and user-friendly onboarding via the XPLA GAMES lower entry barriers, complemented by comprehensive guides. It’s all about making things easier for you.

With a focus on user-centric experiences, XPLA aims to be the go-to AAA gaming hub. The 2024 roadmap promises exciting developments, marking another milestone in XPLA’s journey to redefine gaming!
