One of the most debated topics was the shift from traditional in-game assets to player-owned digital economies.
Sebastien Borget, Co-founder & COO at The Sandbox Game, shared his perspective on the Metaverse’s evolution:
“The Metaverse is alive and thriving. Our latest event brought in 580,000 unique players, generating over 1 million blockchain transactions and 350,000 NFT sales.”
But the discussion went beyond the excitement of ownership.
Ignat Bobrovich, CEO of Vavlur.GG, Esports.NGO raised a key concern: while players now have more control over their assets, what happens when those assets are stolen?
“We talk a lot about ownership, but what happens when assets are stolen? The industry lacks clear security solutions, and that’s a major risk.”
This sparked further debate on whether Web3’s promise of decentralization truly benefits all players—or if it introduces new vulnerabilities that have yet to be solved. The panelists agreed that while blockchain offers transparency, cybersecurity in gaming remains a weak spot, and there is still much to be done to protect users from fraud and hacks.
