The crypto arena heats up as Killer Whales returns for Episode 2, as visionary entrepreneurs in the Gaming and Blockchain Security industries pitch their projects to an esteemed panel of Web3 legends. With $1.5 million in prizes up for grabs, founders must convince the “Killer Whales” that their projects are worth the plunge. This episode pits innovation against scrutiny as startups aim to redefine gaming ecosystems, eliminate Web3 friction, and fortify blockchain security. The stakes? A ‘Swim’ vote could catapult their ventures into the spotlight.
Reflecting on the episode’s focus, Sander Görtjes, CEO of HELLO Labs, shared: “We often talk about onboarding the next billion users, but we forget what that actually feels like. It’s about the joy of a game that doesn’t feel like a finance lesson, and the quiet confidence of knowing your assets are safe without you having to become a security expert. The projects in this episode are building the very bridges and guardrails that will make Web3 a place people actually want to be.”
Episode 2 spotlights three exciting contenders. WAGMI Games, led by CEO Ian Bentley and Co-Founder Scott Herman, merges Web3 transmedia storytelling with mobile gaming to bridge Web2 and Web3 communities. ELIXIR Games, spearheaded by Omar Valero and Alejandro Lillo, disrupts the market with a zero-friction PC launcher offering curated indie adventures backed by a unified ecosystem token. Meanwhile, bitsCrunch, fronted by founder Vijay Maharajan, deploys AI-powered blockchain forensics to act as “blockchain cops,” safeguarding digital assets with decentralized analytics. Judges are returning heavyweights Anthony Scaramucci, Bitget CEO Gracy Chen, and Yuga Labs’ Illa Da Producer, alongside media entrepreneur Austin Arnold and content creator Mika Lallouz. Tune in for fierce pitches, razor-sharp critiques, and the battle to secure crypto’s most lucrative lifeline.
