Beverly Hills, California, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Tech Around and Find Out Podcast is distributed by Mission Matters Media.<\/em><\/p>\n

In a recent episode of Tech Around and Find Out<\/em><\/a>, hosted by Calvin, Aleksander “PsychOut” Larsen, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Sky Mavis, shared an in-depth look at his journey from competitive gaming to leading one of the most transformative Web3 gaming companies. Larsen provided insights into the origins of Axie Infinity<\/em>, the Ronin blockchain\u2019s expansion, and the evolving landscape of crypto gaming.<\/p>\n

Larsen detailed how his early involvement in CryptoKitties<\/em> led to the founding of Axie Infinity<\/em>, emphasizing the need for true digital asset ownership. He recalled the company\u2019s early struggles, nearly facing bankruptcy, and the perseverance required to scale Axie Infinity<\/em> into a global phenomenon. He also addressed the infamous Ronin Bridge hack, explaining how Sky Mavis refunded all affected users, reinforcing community trust.<\/p>\n

\u201cPain has a tendency to either break things or bring people closer together,\u201d Larsen said, reflecting on the hack. \u201cSky Mavis and our community stuck together, and today, we\u2019re in a stronger position than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Axie Infinity<\/em> became a financial lifeline for many in regions like the Philippines, its Smooth Love Potion (SLP)<\/em> token demonstrated real-world applications of blockchain gaming economies. Larsen discussed the importance of designing sustainable tokenomics, ensuring organic user engagement rather than short-term speculation.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Ronin is positioning itself as a hub for Web3 gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi). Larsen highlighted Ronin\u2019s Waypoint<\/em> social login wallet, reducing onboarding friction for mainstream users. He also teased upcoming developments, including a potential Layer-2 solution leveraging ZKEVM technology and the expansion of meme coins and SocialFi applications within Ronin\u2019s ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re opening up Ronin to more builders,\u201d Larsen explained. \u201cWith DeFi, meme coins, and new gaming experiences, we\u2019re entering a new phase where community-driven innovation will thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a focus on security, innovation, and fostering a robust developer ecosystem, Sky Mavis remains committed to shaping the future of Web3 gaming. As Axie Infinity<\/em> and Ronin continue to evolve, the company\u2019s mission remains clear\u2014empowering users through blockchain-based digital ownership and economic opportunities.<\/p>\n
