The Untold Story Of How Base Led To B3 With Viktoriya from B3

Is blockchain opening doors for Indie creators?

In today's second episode of Mammoth May, we chat with Viktoriya Hying from B3 about building on-chain gaming that puts players first. After helping launch Base at Coinbase, her team realized that gaming could be the killer use case to bring millions on-chain.

But here's the catch: closed systems trap users while indie devs struggle for funding. B3's answer? A "basement" for discovering cross-chain games with the infrastructure to let indie creators build without needing millions in funding.

We get into why gaming needs its own specialized tools and how the real innovation is likely to come from indie devs, not from blockchain slapped onto AAA titles.

Let's get into it.
