Quintin, Justice, and I found ourselves seated comfortably, the kind of arrangement that naturally sparks spirited exchanges. Our topic for the day? The curious case of Farcade.ai, a play-to-earn platform promising to merge gaming, creation, and blockchain in ways that seemed almost too ambitious to be true. As the discussion unfolded, questions came to the surface, much like clues in a mystery, each one of them bringing us closer to understanding whether Farcade was a genuine marvel or a cleverly marketed enigma.

Nancy: "Alright, so here’s what I’ve been thinking, let’s spotlight dApps that tap into universal human needs: earning, creating, connecting, and exploring. These are the things that resonate with everyone, right?"

Quintin: "Hmm, what does that mean in practice though?"

Nancy: "It’s not crazy, I promise. Think about it: people want to create something meaningful, earn value, connect with others, or explore new possibilities. That’s the core of so many good ideas.

Quintin: "Do you have one in mind?"

Nancy: "I came across this one: Farcade.ai. It’s a play-to-earn platform with viral game mechanics and social graph integration. People can earn through gaming and remixing content. Pretty cool, huh?."

Quintin: scrolling through Farcade "Hmm, But what’s the point of the game? Like, why does it exist?"

Justice: "It doesn’t feel like it was built with gamers in mind."

Quintin: "Right, so why put games onchain? I get the point for financial apps, but games?

**Nancy: **"That’s a good question."

Justice: "Plus, let’s be real, onchain games won’t ever compete with offchain games in quality."

Nancy: "True."

Justice: "But think about it. If the goal is to bring half the world or the whole world onchain, you need ways to keep them onchain. For example, if I’m on Twitter, then switch to Warpcast, and back to Facebook, I’m moving offchain."

Nancy: "Right."

Justice: "So the idea is to build things people already love like games onchain to keep them engaged."

Nancy: "Makes sense. Yele said something similar during his talk at Base Onchain Summer; encouraging more builders to create diverse onchain tools. Finance apps alone aren’t enough to keep people interested."

Justice: "Exactly. People don’t spend all day on finance apps. If you want to keep them onchain, you need to offer what they enjoy like games."

Nancy: "It’s true. Gaming keeps people engaged. And look at Farcade: 135,000 players and 450,000 games played already. That’s not trivial."

Justice: "Apparently, you can create games, too."

Nancy: "Like your own game on Farcade?"

Quintin: "I think so. But what’s the AI element here? Why “Farcade AI”?"

Nancy: "Good question. Farcade calls itself an onchain AI-powered gaming platform, but what’s the AI part?"

Quintin: "I saw a tweet, they mentioned an AI gaming studio. It says they launched a game in just four hours using it. I'm guessing that's the AI element."

Nancy: "Interesting. Is the studio open for anyone to create games?"

Quintin: "If you go to the web app, navigate to “Play,” then “Create Games,” and click “Sign Up to Create Games,” it prompts you to sign up for beta access to make a space shooter."

Nancy: "So it’s open, but not fully live yet."

Quintin: "It’s in beta right now, but the idea of a no-code AI studio is exciting. Imagine creating your own custom games like Monopoly but onchain. How would that even work?"

Nancy: "That’s what I’m wondering too. How do you use prompts to create something so complex? Shooting games are one thing, but Monopoly needs a different logic."

Quintin: "It’s an interesting challenge. I’m curious how they’ll structure incentives too; like, will rewards be tied to time played or something else?"

Nancy: "Or maybe to the tokens generated by the game itself. The points system seems promising but unfinished. Can the points be redeemed?"

Quintin: "For now, no. But they promise utility tokens for staking, wagering, and more. It’s still a work in progress."

Nancy: "Maybe points could have more functions. For example, needing Farcade points to unlock the game creation studio. It’s like creating markets for anything."

Quintin: "Exactly! You could even exchange Farcade points for stables or native assets if there’s a market for it. But staking needs clarity, what are the rewards, and why stake?"

Nancy: "Farcade has potential, but a lot still feels undefined. Like, what’s the ‘market cap’ they mention? Is it tied to ownership in these games?"

Quintin: "It’s fascinating how blockchain makes tokenization so easy; you can create markets for anything.

Nancy: "whether fungible or non-fungible."

Quintin: "Here it says It says, 'Own a piece of the fastest-growing games.' Owning pieces of games creates tokenized markets for anything"

Nancy: "Right. It’s exciting to think about how these markets could evolve. Let’s keep exploring Farcade and see what they build next."

Quintin: "It’s interesting because blockchain makes tokenization so easy; you can create markets for anything."

And so, our conversation wound to its inevitable close, not with the satisfaction of having solved every riddle but with the thrill of questions left unanswered. Quintin’s thoughtful musings on staking, Justice’s insights on game creation, and my own curiosity about markets and incentives formed a tapestry of ideas that promised more discovery to come.

As we parted ways, I couldn’t help but reflect: in the ever expanding universe of blockchain, platforms like Farcade.ai are more than just innovations, they are experiments in reimagining how we play, create, and connect. Whether it will succeed or falter remains to be seen, but for now, it offers the most compelling promise of all: the joy of exploring what might be possible.

Until the next time we sit and intellectualize dear reader, may your curiosity remain as boundless as the potential of the onchain world.
