Whether generative art like Bored Apes and Crypto Punks, a new generation of play-2-earn games like Splinterlands and Axie Infinity, or the emerging metaverse space with places like Decentraland and The Sandbox, the guys go deep into what's happening, and what will soon happen, in a new Web3 world.
