Raphael Edema- From crypto mining to building games on web3

This is the  Web 3 series-themed version of the Kurious K podcast. In this web 3  series, I will be having conversations with founders/ key stakeholders across the African continent and beyond on demystifying web 3  and the opportunities in the space. As you know Web3 is generating a lot of hype — From the metaverse to decentralized finance to NFTs and beyond. Imagine an internet built, powered, and owned by its users instead of a few major tech companies like Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon. Social media users could monetize their own data. Content creators could receive crypto payments directly every time someone views their latest post. Ride-sharing platforms could be owned by the drivers. This is the promise of Web3, a decentralized internet built on an open, permissionless blockchain network. This episode features Raphael Edema who is the CEO of Night life Labs. A company with a goal to innovate the future of gaming by building games with more immersive experiences by leveraging cutting-edge technologies.   In this episode, we discuss - The evolution of the internet from Web 1 to web 3 -  The current  state of  the web 3 ecosystem  in Nigeria - Some  use cases that are already gaining traction like Decentralized gaming Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) - Nightlifelabs and what has been his experience of building it. - Some of the interesting projects Raphael has worked on. -The state of funding for web 3 startups globally
