Send us a text

Amos Whitewolf is the co-founder and CTO of PerionXP, a platform that’s redefining how gamers interact with Web3 by layering gamified quests and crypto rewards on top of massive mainstream games like Fortnite.

A lifelong gamer and entrepreneur, Amos went from boosting League of Legends accounts as a teenager to becoming the #1 ranked player on Axie Infinity, before launching a startup that’s now onboarded over 100,000 verified players.

In this episode, Desi sits down with Amos to uncover: 

• How PerionXP gamifies gaming itself, letting players choose the missions they actually love and earn rewards 
• The real reasons Web3 gaming got such a bad reputation (hint: it wasn’t just NFTs) 
• Why community-led onboarding crushed every paid marketing tactic they tried 
• What it takes to build a crypto-native platform that feels fun and sticky, not just speculative 
• Amos’s bold vision for a Ready Player One–style future, where your in-game identity might be more valuable than your real one 
• The return of “play for keeps” — how Amos sees in-game ownership reshaping the future of gaming
• The billion-dollar question: how do we onboard Web2 gamers into Web3 without alienating them?

If you’re curious about the future of gaming, Web3, or how to build a product that grows organically through genuine love (not hype!) this one’s for you.
