🕹️ Outline (45 mins)

0:00 – 0:05 | Welcome & Introductions

  • Brief recap of last week’s AMA theme
  • Quick intros from each speaker (project, role, what they’re building)

0:05 – 0:15 | Ecosystem Culture as a Design Constraint

  • What ecosystem(s) are you building on (Solana, Base, Farcaster, private chain)?
  • How does that chain’s culture or community shape the way people find and play your game?
  • What’s something you get “for free” from your ecosystem — and what do you have to build yourself?

0:15 – 0:25 | Social Systems in Gameplay

  • What kinds of social interactions or systems are embedded in your game?
  • Are players meant to collaborate, compete, co-create, or just vibe?
  • How do you make social dynamics feel fun, real, and meaningful onchain?

0:25 – 0:35 | Balancing Onchain & Offchain Elements

  • How do you decide what needs to be onchain vs offchain in your game?
  • Are there social systems (e.g., messaging, profiles, leaderboards) where decentralization matters?
  • What are the UX tradeoffs when blending both?

0:35 – 0:42 | Future of Social Onchain Play

  • What’s a social dynamic you think onchain games can do better than traditional games?
  • Do you imagine truly persistent social identities across games/ecosystems?
  • What’s the next unlock for more meaningful multiplayer experiences?

0:42 – 0:45 | Wrap-Up

  • Final thoughts: “If someone’s designing an onchain game today, what’s the one social layer they shouldn’t ignore?”
  • Where to follow each speaker/project
