For episode 470, CPO Riccardo Sibani joins Brandon Zemp to discuss My Neighbor Alice. It’s the first open-world multiplayer blockchain game, resembling Animal Crossing but enhanced with blockchain features. It was launched in early 2021 and became Binance's 2021 Project of the Year with a market cap near $1B. Players explore, gather resources, and create NFTs for their avatars and land. The game promotes self-expression through upcoming user-generated content tools and offers a relaxing, collaborative space. Built on the Chromia blockchain, it will soon be fully on-chain, a first for this platform. Riccardo entered Web3 in 2016 as a blockchain developer, contributing to FinTech, DevOps, NFT protocols, and games in technical and business roles. He joined My Neighbor Alice at its inception in 2020. ⏳ Timestamps: 0:00 | Introduction 1:22 | Who is Riccardo Sibani? 6:50 | How does My Neighbor Alice leverage blockchain? 9:26 | Multiplayer experience 10:50 | How to buy land 13:36 | Avatar customization 16:02 | NFT Crafting 19:55 | Socializing in My Neighbor Alice 21:18 | Privacy permissions 23:09 | In-world chat & emotes 26:04 | Incentivized community interaction 27:12 | Acquiring resources 30:55 | User growth in 2024 31:53 | Podcasting in-world 32:29 | External partnerships 35:46 | How to start playing My Neighbor Alice? 37:26 | Future MacOS availability 42:10 | My Neighbor Alice 2025 roadmap 44:32 | Social media & community 🎙 My Neighbor Alice Links: 🔗 Website: https://www.myneighboralice.com 🔗 X: https://x.com/bloody_bit 🔗 X: https://x.com/MyNeighborAlice 🔗 Telegram: https://t.me/MyNeighborAlice 🔗 Discord: https://discord.com/invite/myneighboralice ●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● 📢 Disclaimer: None of our content constitutes, nor is intended to act as financial advice.
