TAKEAWAYS

Web3 and crypto gaming are in a pivotal moment with increased adoption and regulatory attention.

The failures of previous Web3 games were often due to financial and capitalization challenges, lack of understanding of the problem scope, and inadequate blockchain implementation.

Mure aims to simplify fundraising and financial transactions in Web3 by providing a platform for collaborative investment and transparent execution.

Shrapnel focuses on building a sustainable creator economy and gameplay loop, with separate subsystems that are connected through the use of tokens.

Token design should prioritize the game experience and utility, while considering compliance issues and avoiding the pitfalls of bad token design.

The use of DAOs can help direct the company and involve the community in decision-making, but careful legal structuring is necessary.

DAOs can be structured in various ways, such as having a council composed of token holders or elected representatives.

Aligning incentives and decision-making authority is crucial for the success of a DAO.

Trivial decisions can be made by the company, while larger vision decisions can be made by the community.

Incremental adoption and spoon-feeding complex systems to users can help ensure understanding and alignment with collective goals.
