  • In this episode of The Web3 Gamer, we talk with Harsh Rajat, the CEO of Push Protocl. Harsh, has over 12 years of entrepreneurial experience in various spectrums of tech, including system architecture, development, and design in different tech fields.

    Push Protocol is the world’s first blockchain-agnostic decentralized communication protocol for Web3. It serves as an open network for validating and indexing all sorts of communication (notifications, chats, etc.) that can be seamlessly integrated by any crypto frontend (dApps, wallets, etc.). Any smart contract, dApp, or backend service can integrate Push to provide a communication layer through notifications or chats that are tied to the wallet addresses of users. By building this communication layer, Push Protocol addresses a major gap in Web3 infrastructure, enhancing the everyday experience for blockchain users.

    The notifications (or any other communications) provided by Push are off-chain and gasless, except when a smart contract sends them (in which case the smart contract pays a slightly higher gas fee for the payload sent on the blockchain). These communications are encrypted and secure, utilizing Push's open network, which allows any dApp or crypto wallet to easily integrate them, making the lives of Web3 users much easier and more akin to Web2 UX. Push operates on a network of nodes called Push Nodes, responsible for the validation, storage, and delivery of notifications and chats.

    To date, Push Protocol has been integrated with over 400 projects, including major partners like Lens, Polygon, Gitcoin, and Decentraland. The protocol is live on Ethereum, Polygon, and BNB Chain, with support for other major EVM and non-EVM chains coming soon. Push Notifications via gasless SDK and Push Chat SDK support all EVM chains as of now.

    Tailored to seamlessly complement your digital lifestyle, Push Protocol is the perfect communication tool for Web3 users, offering real-time notifications and chats that integrate organically into your daily activities, whether you’re engrossed in other tasks or on the move. Its flexibility and accessibility provide a communication experience that fits your schedule and needs.

  • In this episode of The Web3 Gamer, we're thrilled to have Peter Tomala, the CEO and Founder of World Play League.

    In this engaging episode of The Web3 Gamer, we're honored to feature Peter Tomala, the visionary CEO and Founder of the World Play League (WPL), the groundbreaking player-owned game league that’s redefining community engagement in gaming.

    Peter Tomala spearheads the World Play League, a trailblazer in the gaming sector heralded as the world's inaugural player-owned game league. This innovative platform is revolutionizing gaming by fostering deep connections between game studios and communities, and by enabling gamers to seamlessly integrate their online and offline gaming lives. Peter’s dedication to enhancing the social fabric of gaming has established him as a key figure in driving forward the industry’s community-centric future.

    At the heart of the World Play League is the mission to revolutionize gamer interactions and participation. By emphasizing player ownership and active community engagement, WPL introduces an unprecedented model where players are not merely participants but are integral stakeholders in their gaming universe. This initiative profoundly enriches the gaming experience, opens new avenues for monetization, and fosters unparalleled loyalty among gamers.

    Drawing inspiration from the nostalgic era of neighborhood sports—where the thrill of competition was purely for pride and community—WPL captures the emotional excitement of those grassroots games, blending it with the power of cutting-edge technologies. This player-owned sports league transcends traditional gaming by empowering fans, players, and game studios to collaboratively dictate the evolution of games. It’s an arena where everyone, from players to fans, has genuine ownership and a say in the league's future.

    From its inception, WPL has been committed to providing essential tooling, infrastructure, and user acquisition support to existing games. Yet, the vision extends far beyond these initial offerings. With community participation, WPL aims to craft a comprehensive platform that transforms our perception of sports, games, and entertainment into a more inclusive and participatory experience. This digital league stands as a testament to equality and active engagement, where every participant, whether a player, fan, or team owner, contributes to the league’s narrative.
