In this episode, we’re thrilled to explore the exciting world of Web3 gaming with Animositas (Ani), CEO of Lizard Labs, a pioneering community that’s reshaping the gaming industry through interconnected partnerships and immersive experiences. For over three years, Lizard Labs has brought together Web3 builders, investors, and gamers to create groundbreaking projects, fund promising startups, and establish itself as the most irreverent, fun, and scaly brand in the industry.

Ani, a lifelong gamer and seasoned business leader, identified the transformative potential of blockchain for gaming back in 2021. With over 20 years of experience in leadership and technical roles, including at BMW, Ani made the bold decision to transition from the stability of Web2 into the rapidly evolving sector of Web3 gaming. Now at the helm of Lizard Labs, Ani is spearheading efforts to grow Web3 gaming through community-driven initiatives and collaborations with top studios.

In our conversation, Ani shares the vision behind Lizard Labs, its innovative approach to building immersive experiences, and the opportunities blockchain technology brings to the gaming world. We also dive into the challenges and rewards of transitioning from Web2 to Web3, and how Lizard Labs is leveraging its vibrant community to drive the future of gaming.

Whether you’re a Web3 enthusiast, a gamer at heart, or curious about the intersection of blockchain and entertainment, this episode offers a fascinating look at how Lizard Labs is blazing a trail in the gaming industry.
