#45 - Saga’s Origin Point: Rebecca Liao’s Vision for a Multiverse of Innovation in Web3 Gaming

In this episode, we’re thrilled to dive into the cutting-edge world of Web3 and blockchain gaming with Rebecca Liao, Co-Founder and CEO of Saga. Saga is a revolutionary Layer 1 protocol designed to empower developers to launch the next 1,000 chains in the multiverse, providing scalable and interoperable infrastructure for boundary-pushing gaming experiences. Under Rebecca’s visionary leadership, Saga is transforming the way Web3 applications are built, enabling indie developers and studios to turn bold, expansive ideas into reality.

Rebecca brings a wealth of experience as an entrepreneur, lawyer, and advocate for innovation. Before founding Saga, she co-led Skuchain, a blockchain platform for global trade that scaled to $5 billion in annual volume under her leadership. She has also served in prominent advisory roles, including on President Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign, where she contributed to technology and Asia economic policy. Her impressive career spans global trade, AI-powered platforms, and public advocacy, and she’s been recognized as a World Economic Forum Tech Pioneer.

Saga Origins, the gaming arm of Saga, is a hub for immersive storytelling, player ownership, and groundbreaking quality in game publishing. With its state-of-the-art technology, Saga has already spun up 500 dedicated chains in less than an hour, achieving remarkable performance benchmarks like 1.1M transactions per second and 15 million blocks in just six hours. These advancements are enabling developers to freely and quickly transfer assets between ecosystems, ushering in a new era of scalability and innovation for Web3 gaming.

In our conversation, Rebecca shares her journey from international corporate law to blockchain pioneer and game industry leader. We explore Saga’s mission to equip developers with the resources to shock the world with provocative and expansive gaming experiences. Rebecca sheds light on the challenges and triumphs of building a multiverse-ready platform, the importance of player ownership, and how Saga is setting new standards for Web3 gaming infrastructure.
