Our guest today is Jonathan Caras, Head of Communication at Levana Protocol which is a Perpetual Swaps platform built on Terra.What Jonathan and the team behind Levana Protocol are doing is very interesting, but what’s even more exciting is their approach to bringing it to the market: rather than just delivering a perpetual swaps platform, they are building a game on top of it.This strategy is very similar to what we are doing with Passage, by building the Strange Clan game on top of it. So I was incredibly excited to bring Jonathan onto the show to hear more about it.Follow Levana ProtocolLevana TwitterLevana DiscordLevana TelegramLevana WebsiteLevana MediumFollow us and our project Strange ClanStrange Clan TwitterStrange Clan DiscordStrange Clan WebsiteArel Twitter
This week's guest was Chjango Unchained of Interchain.fm. Chjango has been involved in the cosmos space for a while and has made a carrier out of explaining blockchain technology in a way that is not only technically accurate, but also understandable for listeners. We wanted to talk with Chjango about the future of Cosmos and where it can go with NFTs, the Metaverse, and Play-to-Own gaming. We believe that what is being built in the Cosmos ecosystem will power blockchain technologies for years to come, and we wanted to get Chjango's thoughts on that, as well as answer any questions our community might have regarding Cosmos and it's surrounding technologies.

On this weeks episode of We Build Worlds. Michael and Arel discuss what different games would look like if they decided to integrate blockchain. With the advent of blockchain gaming we've seen a lot of games try to integrate the technology, but most of them end up looking like different versions of card battlers or Pokemon collectors. We were wondering what different game genres would look like if they decided to integrate blockchain. We wanted to discuss how the technology could be integrated into these games without it feeling like a gimmick or a cash grab.Follow us and our project Strange ClanStrange Clan TwitterStrange Clan DiscordStrange Clan WebsiteArel TwitterMichael Twitter

Our guest today is Caleb Natale. Caleb does collect some NFTs, but that's not really why I'm talking to him today. Caleb is what I would call a special effects illusionist.
