Hello everyone! Welcome to this week's Founders Club session with our featured founder of the week, Daryl @darylx !

For those who missed our introduction post, Daryl is the visionary architect behind @b3dotfun , a revolutionary Layer 3 gaming ecosystem that's onboarded 6+ million players. 

Today's plan: I'll start by asking 10 questions we've collected from the community to set the foundation. Feel free to give follow-ups to Daryl's answers, and if you have any questions now, you can reply in the comment area and tag Daryl directly.

I encourage everyone to actively participate - whether you're curious about gaming infrastructure, B3's upcoming plan, or Daryl's vision of onboarding "half the world" through gaming.

Without further ado, let's welcome Daryl to the virtual stage!

thanks Julie! super pumped to be here alongside such amazing builders

re the inspiration for B3, while at Base, we came across gaming studios like Parallel wanting to launch new titles but running into real barriers on L2 - gas fees, throughout constraints, etc

and, at the same time, L3 architecture was just emerging and we realized it was a great solve for the pain points of these gaming devs who wanted to push the limits of what’s possible onchain. And so we took that opportunity to launch B3 and you’re seeing developers appreciate the low gas fees and web2-like UX

for me, restore econ freedom means giving both developers and players more ownership and better monetization vectord and we think that’s a strong antidote to the problems facing big gaming (who are the slow risk-adverse incumbent publishers like the EA and Activisions of the world)
