§ Pitch deck breakdown
How Sky Mavis would pitch themselves.
Target customer
Crypto-native gamers + esports communities + a growing layer of mainstream gamers via Ronin-based new games.
Problem they solve
Crypto games hit liquidity + retention walls because economies aren't designed for sustainable engagement. Ethereum mainnet gas costs make small in-game txns infeasible.
Key differentiator
Operates Ronin (purpose-built gaming sidechain) + portfolio of Axie + future titles. Vietnam-based talent + cost advantage vs. SF studios.
Go-to-market strategy
Owned game IP + Ronin developer ecosystem. Partnerships with major game studios migrating to Ronin (Pixel Studios, Tribesters).
