In this episode, Open Game Protocol (OGP) co-founder and Zynga legend Justin Waldron joins Graham Stone and David Sencil to explain how his team is merging the best of Web2 and Web3 gaming.
By letting developers integrate tokens in minutes instead of months, OGP is redefining game economies — aligning incentives between studios and players, creating shared value, and challenging app store monopolies.
