    Mythical Games: How They Hit 1M+ Users by Making Web3 Invisible

    In this episode of Uncut Gems, host Dominic Weibel sits down with John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games, to explore how Web3 is transforming gaming beyond the hype and broken promises of early blockchain games. While most Web3 gaming projects struggled with empty lobbies and broken tokenomics, Mythical Games has taken a different approach - prioritizing gameplay first and blockchain integration second. Their roster includes successful titles like NFL Rivals, FIFA Rivals, and the recently launched Pudgy Party, which are hitting millions of downloads while seamlessly integrating blockchain technology. The conversation covers Mythical's gaming-first philosophy, their innovative Quick Trade feature that enables cashless multi-party transactions, and how they're monetizing previously untapped global markets. John discusses the technical decisions behind building on Polkadot, the future of the MYTH token, and why ecosystem tokens outperform single-game tokens.
