Intraverse

I’m generally not a huge fan of startup competitions, but EthConnect was different. The reason I usually steer away from these competitions is that the prizes often aren’t very clear, and more often than not, there’s no direct monetary reward (investment). Typically, the value lies in visibility and networking with investors and partners. So, why was ETH Connect different? The prizes were clear and tangible: Incubation with ICP HUB Italia & Ticino, valued at €85K. ( at Intraverse we won this prize) A potential opportunity for further incubation IBC Group - International Blockchain Consulting. As a startup, funding is our fuel, and having a concrete prize is fundamental. While visibility and services are valuable, if I’m committing to participate in a challenge, I want to know exactly what I’ll gain. With that in mind, I’d like to thank the ICP HUB Italia & Ticino team and especially Mirko Maggiore for selecting Intraverse. A big shoutout to organizers for such an incredible event!

We are excited to announce our latest partnership with Linea, an advanced Layer 2 scaling solution developed by Consensys to elevate Ethereum's performance by delivering faster, cheaper transactions, while preserving the network’s security and decentralization. As a zkEVM rollup, Linea provides a more efficient environment for dApps and projects that require high throughput and low latency—exactly what’s needed in the gaming sector. 🔍 What does this mean for Intraverse? This partnership will enable us to launch exclusive gaming activations on their Layer 2 platform, seamlessly integrating their users into our gaming ecosystem as well as bringing more engagement to the Linea chain, by providing their community with new opportunities to actively participate and experience new earning opportunities. Also, by having our users interact with and explore the benefits of Linea’s technology, we’ll showcase them the potential of the Linea network, allowing them to touch with hands its efficiency and scalability. #Intraverse #Partnership #Linea #Blockchain #Web3Gaming #zkEVM

Reflecting on TOKEN2049: Mixed Sentiments After spending a few days reflecting on Token 2049, I find myself with some mixed feelings. While there’s a lot of bullish sentiment on LinkedIn, I’m not entirely aligned with the prevailing optimism. What I’ve gathered is that there’s still uncertainty in the market—no one seems to know with confidence what will unfold in the coming months, and there’s no solid thesis driving the conversation. Even among investors, there’s a noticeable confusion about which trends to invest in to create real value. That being said, Token 2049 was undoubtedly one of the largest and most impressive web3/blockchain events globally, with over 700 side events. For us at Intraverse, we had two primary goals: 1️⃣ Business Development: Strengthening partnerships with blockchain networks. 2️⃣ Investor Relations: Building connections with potential investors. Some key observations: ✅ Tap Games on TON: Despite having many users, the key metric for the TON Foundation is not just player numbers but driving on-chain transactions and liquidity growth. ✅ Solana's Strength: Solana knows how to build and nurture its community. The Breakpoint event, and especially the final party, showcased their ability to attract builders and foster genuine innovation within their ecosystem. The best advice we received from Jamie Burke: Keep building and driving traction regardless of market conditions, and always keep your partners and investors in the loop. While there are still challenges and uncertainties ahead, we are continuing to build, and I’m super excited about what’s coming next for Intraverse.
