Yat Siu Reveals How Will Fuel Explosive Web3 Mass Adoption
In a recent podcast chat, Animoca Brands leader Yat Siu shares big ideas on
What Are and Why Do They Matter?
Another manages investors. It tracks lists, reminders, and contacts. The best part? They adapt fast. Yat Siu tells a story. His flight from Tokyo was late. The agent checked one site but missed it. He said, “Check five sites, use APIs.” No code needed. In minutes, it built a flight tracker skill. It told his wife when he landed and set up pickup.
“The real value is not me talking to the AI but the AI talking to many people in a group.”
Most people use AI like better Google search. They ask, get answers. But true
Animoca Minds: Easy for Everyone
Animoca launched Animoca Minds. It’s built for normal users. Not just tech experts. Yat Siu compares it to old web servers. Back then, you set up Apache yourself. Hard, risky. Now, AWS does it with one click.
Tools like OpenClaw are powerful but complex. They need setup. They dig into all your emails and files. Scary for privacy. Animoca Minds uses chat interfaces. Safe for calendars, flights, workflows. No deep personal digs.
It’s from Ethoswarm, an Animoca company. They started early. Used
- Family AI knows birthdays, schools, routines.
- Builds games like quizzes in group chats.
- Plugs into APIs for custom tasks.
Even non-tech folks like Yat Siu’s mom can use it. Skills bazaar lets you grab public tools. Open and composable, like blockchain.
How Fix Web3 Problems
Web3 has 50-60 million users. Growth stalled. Big platforms block it. Apple limits NFTs. Google and Steam too.
Today, AI summaries keep you on Google. Sites lose traffic. Soon, agents fetch info and push it to you. No site visits. They represent you. Power back to users.
The web may fade. Content from MCP servers via agents. Payments and incentives on blockchain. Tokens flow naturally.
Wallets? Not the main draw. Your mom won’t join for trading. But for fun, help, games? Yes. Wallet is just a feature.
Friction gone. Want to play a game needing $NFT? Agent buys it. Doesn’t matter chain or market. It bridges, handles all. Interoperability layer.
Bullish on Blockchain Gaming Despite Doubts
Some say gaming failed in web3. Focus on finance only. Yat Siu disagrees. Gaming expands scope. It’s about ownership in new internet.
Finance always bigger than games. JP Morgan: $800B. EA sold for $60B. Still huge. Early games at $20-50M were solid. Billions rare.
Animoca entered Sandbox at $4.5M, Axie at $8M. Now hundreds of millions. Critics wrong. Big hits coming with millions of players.
GameFi? Gamify finance. Polymarket is GameFi. Bets like games. Robinhood leaderboards too. Gen Alpha loves it. Gaming tests these ideas.
Anichess Success Story
Take Anichess. Chess game with CHECK token. $60M fully diluted value. Not billions, but great for chess. Backed by Chess.com, Magnus Carlsen. Good liquidity. Holds value.
Lesson: Start low, $10-20M. Grow steady. Avoid greed pumps. Sustainable at $30-40M. Keeps fans happy. No crash.
Token models work. Make games fun first. Value follows.
Future: Drive Mass Web3 Use
Yat Siu sees
Blockchain ensures ownership, fair payments. Decentralized rails. User sovereign.
Animoca bullish. Gaming thrives. With AI, web3 everywhere.
