Crypto Gaming Data | DappRadar, Pedro Herrara | W3W Ep. 19

Web3 Wednesdays

Data drives product and investment direction, but web3 data is noisy. What's the best data we have say about on-chain gaming?
Pedro Herrera, head of research at DappRadar, a prominent dapp distribution store and data aggregator in the space with a prolific history of quant-heavy reports. Their recent games reports give some of the best consolidated overviews of the sector we have, and help shed light on some of the macro trends that could underpin the next major movement in web3.
We dig in on how DappRadar collects data, what it sees in the future of gaming, and where some of the current data collection practices need improvement in the space. Pedro’s position at DappRadar overseeing analytics and research puts him in the perfect position to comment on that data.
