I always thought the success of the crypto was an accident.
A Canadian team that no one had ever heard of (until now many couldn't say who the CEO was), a team that wasn't even in the loop or the coinage at all, who "happened" to have the cat idea, "happened" to Launch the crypto cat during the ethereum IC0 frenzy, and "happened" to have invented and popularized the NFT concept.
But I know that "success is not by chance", so I have always been curious about what kind of team can create so many beloved cats, each so delicate and lovely, each so personalized, but also so "boring" to think of turning them into digitalAsset, run on a world computer that doesn't work very well.
One of the questions on coyote AMA yesterday was "how did the concept of the crypto cat come about?"
Dieter, the founder of NFT, responded: "a lot of people think we've always had the idea to bring cats to the blockchain, but it wasn't until at least a dozen people asked me if I could put cats on the blockchain that I realized maybe it's a good idea." So it wasn't a coincidence that the cat was created, and it wasn't just his and the team's idea. The team had been working together for four or five years before the cats were created, commercializing new technologies, researching innovative technologies, new user experiences, and reinventing commercial products. The whole team of 40 or 50 people is a big innovation lab. I want to say: I knew it. The patient team that makes every cat so attentively must be a team that has a lot of creative freedom and loves products.
The rest of the story is familiar to us. On ethereum, except for IC0, the crypto cat appeared in the sky, which gave everyone in the circle infinite imagination. Apart from the small game "workshop", tencent's monster hunt, Cocos chain, and even Unity almost gave a token of its own, more or less there are these cat "out" elements.
Another question yesterday was why NFT has only a niche audience. Dieter's response: "it's a misperception. 40 percent of cryptocat visitors have never owned a virtual currency, and that's what made their entire team realize the economic implications of this technology for tradition." Until I was surprised by this, I think only with the circle will pay for the encryption cat, the founder of DappReview Vincent to block chain in talking about his own meaning in the game balance, constantly emphasize: "the game must be fun", is likely to have long-term value of game balance. Both insist that users pay for good products.
Another thing that confuses everyone is this:Why do they make their own chain? & have spent
Why take this route? It's hard to make a chain. Why don't they make it right? Dieter's answer is that ethereum can't do it, and we can't put our fate on a team that hasn't done anything yet. Well, I guess that top service sense. But still, a new blockchain EOS left 4 bn? No one is using it. How can ecology be made in one or two days?
Audience and I have the same feeling, at least half of them asked a similar question, if you encrypt the cat peak times launch a chain we may also pay, at this point in time, a lot of very technical team launch is better than the etheric fang performance of chain, such as Solana main (online), Near main (haven't), Polkadot main (haven't), Alogrand (on the main, but smart haven't contract), a series of chain Tendermint family. Now this time, how to compete?
What I would say is that they took the hard but rewarding route: developing their own chain, issuing their own tokens, developing their own killer app, and going one by one to convince the world's best companies to partner with them.
After listening to Dieter's introduction, I think there are a few things worth mentioning:
1. They have several mainstream IP: NBA, UFC, warner music, etc. (the NBA alone is a "community" of hundreds of millions of people), once one succeeds, more will come;
2. Experience of game App and easy onboarding: at the beginning, users can easily purchase the game;
3. Cooperation with Libra - this is the technology sharing and cooperation between two open source projects. Although it is not strongly bound, there must be a reason why Libra chose to develop and support Cadance language with Dapper.
4. Flow's performance after the launch of the test environment: it is said that hundreds of developers have completed 900 tutorial sessions, nearly 2,000 contracts have been created, including Defi, tools, dapp, and so on, in only one month.
I've probably always summarized their thinking as "show and tell," where I make things and I show them to you and I tell you stories. The team working with them to develop NBA games is a UK listed 3A games company, and the success of NBA games will be one of the most important events in our industry this year. I think they might have to sneak in the same way they did with the crypto cats"attack"Chain loops and game loops.
Cryptocat is an experiment by the Dapper team, an amazing experiment, the first to show insiders the powerful practical scenarios of blockchain other than speculation. There have been many attempts to change, but none of them have had the same impact. We cat buyers are like the first iPhone buyers, the first Tesla buyers, we are A group of people who like to taste new things, like to take risks, like and proud to do "early adopter",A storm is in the making and for the first time, I can smell it.
