It's an opportunity to immerse yourself in the evolving world of "Web3 gaming" without needing a developer background or crypto wallet. Think of it as a sneak peek behind the curtain before mass adoption. Attendees can expect food, drinks, and entertainment throughout the complimentary four-hour expo.
A diverse lineup of blue-chip projects
Chainlink has curated an impressive roster of blockchain games and platforms scheduled to participate. We'll get to experience Illuvium, an acclaimed open-world collector game, and PlanetIX, one of the largest games running on Polygon. There will also be deeper dives into projects like Aavegotchi, Chronos: Dawn of Time, and CyberTitans to see the innovative ways they're incorporating DeFi, NFTs, and more. Data infrastructure providers like WeMeta and Space and Time will be on hand to discuss supporting this emerging gaming ecosystem too. Something for every type of gamer!
Connect and learn from industry insiders
In addition to the hands-on demonstrations, PreGame is designed to facilitate networking between attendees. Who knows, you may end up chatting with a pioneering developer working on the next big thing. There will also be opportunities to learn from notable leaders within the space. It's a chance to not only experience cutting-edge titles but also gain insightful perspectives on the growth of "Web3 gaming" directly from the source. Food, drinks, and post-event socializing are also included to foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing.
As SmartCon 2023’s premier satellite event, PreGame gives an exclusive look into the best entertainment that Web3 gaming has to offer.
Growing developer interest
Perhaps most significantly for Chainlink, PreGame serves to attract even more teams to its growing Oracle network. By directly showcasing the diverse solutions Chainlink enables, more developers may decide to utilize its off-chain connectivity services. As adoption increases, demand for the LINK token could follow suit- as node operators, data providers, and others require the asset to participate in the network.
According to CoinCodex, Chainlink has gained over 23.5% in the last month alone. And with a +4.55% increase in the last seven days, the momentum appears to be holding. Based on long-term forecasts, CoinCodex estimates Chainlink could reach as high as $21.34 by October 2023 - gaining 180% from current levels.
An evening not to be missed
If you have any interest in where digital games and entertainment are headed, PreGame promises to deliver fascinating revelations. It takes place on October 1st in the stunning setting of Barcelona's InterContinental Hotel. Entry is complimentary, so RSVP today on Eventbrite to secure your spot at one of the must-attend events on the Web3 calendar. Who knows, the seeds planted there could spark your own innovative ideas or lead to exciting new professional collaborations.
