In this episode, Jon and co-founder Alex Casassovici (@alexksso) discuss the rise of the Azarus blockchain-based rewards platform for game streaming.  What’s significant about Azurus (which uses an EOS sidechain) is it doesn’t mention blockchain, onboards users through ther Twitch accounts, and can be retrofitted to any existing game. Also, its rewards urrency - AZA Credits - is locked to the platform and can’t be exported to crypto exchanges.  Basically then Azarus uses blockchain tech where it’s needed on the backend, but enables scale by using the traditional web services in ways that users are accustomed to. Topics covered include:  How Alex got into blockchain The spark behind Azarus Thinking beyond NFTs Azarus’ advantage in terms of the ease for game developers to retrofit it How the AZA Credit works Why most traditional game companies aren’t interested in cryptocurrencies What’s next for Azarus? When will blockchain gaming take-off?  Episode links:   Alex Casassovici - Twitter Azarus - web Azarus - Twitter  Follow Jon on Twitter &amp; check out Blockchain Gaming World on YouTube
