🕹️ Outline (45 mins)

0:00 – 0:05 | Welcome & Introductions

• Brief recap of last week’s AMA theme
• Quick intros from each speaker (project, role, what they’re building)

0:05 – 0:15 | Ecosystem Culture as a Design Constraint

• What ecosystem(s) are you building on (Solana, Base, Farcaster, private chain)?
• How does that chain's culture or community shape the way people find and play your game?
• What’s something you get “for free” from your ecosystem — and what do you have to build yourself?

0:15 – 0:25 | Social Systems in Gameplay

• What kinds of social interactions or systems are embedded in your game?
• Are players meant to collaborate, compete, co-create, or just vibe?
• How do you make social dynamics feel fun, real, and meaningful onchain?

0:25 – 0:35 | Balancing Onchain & Offchain Elements

• How do you decide what needs to be onchain vs offchain in your game?
• Are there social systems (e.g., messaging, profiles, leaderboards) where decentralization matters?
• What are the UX tradeoffs when blending both?

0:35 – 0:42 | Future of Social Onchain Play

• What’s a social dynamic you think onchain games can do better than traditional games?
• Do you imagine truly persistent social identities across games/ecosystems?
• What’s the next unlock for more meaningful multiplayer experiences?

0:42 – 0:45 | Wrap-Up

• Final thoughts: “If someone’s designing an onchain game today, what’s the one social layer they shouldn’t ignore?”
• Where to follow each speaker/project
