Business Development Lead, APAC

Windranger Labs, through its innovative venture Game7, is leading the charge in integrating gaming with blockchain technology. Positioned at the intersection of gaming and decentralized tech, Game7 offers an on-chain, modular ecosystem that caters to both players and developers. They address key challenges such as sustained player engagement, distribution, and infrastructure by providing a comprehensive suite of Web3 primitives, enabling seamless game development from concept to market.

The Communications Team at Game7 plays a vital role in engaging both traditional gamers and those entering the Web3 space. By collaborating across departments, the team crafts captivating narratives and content that showcase the unique features of their games and community activities. Game7 offers a flexible, fully remote work environment with a culture that emphasizes autonomy, creative freedom, and continuous learning. The company ensures a supportive and inclusive workplace dedicated to the well-being and professional growth of its team members.

Web3 has created a new era of decentralised finance, democratising financial access. However, it has fallen short in generating mass consumer applications and remains largely centred around finance. We believe blockchain technology is a cornerstone for the future of new, open Internet applications.

Today, there are limits to what you can build on-chain. Many factors constrain this, from the cost of running applications to the fundamental performance limitations of existing blockchains. We believe that new technologies can unlock a new class of real-time applications that normally must be built on Web2 foundations. Enabling these systems to be built on-chain will allow the free movement of businesses and users between online platforms, creating what we call a true virtual society.

We are building Somnia, a fast and cost-effective EVM-based blockchain, to achieve this. Somnia is a layer-one blockchain with full EVM compatibility, capable of processing over 400,000 transactions per second with sub-second latency and low fees. This will unlock a new wave of on-chain applications. Initially, we are focusing on gaming, metaverse, and social experiences. But we are not even 100% certain of what can be built with the technology we are creating.

Somnia is being developed by Virtual Society Foundation, an independent organisation initiated by Improbable, a British start-up that has been at the forefront of building virtual worlds for over a decade. VSF received initial funding from MSquared, which raised $150 million in funding from a16z crypto, SoftBank, Mirana Ventures, CMT Digital, and SIG.
