Andrometa and the Next Era of On-Chain Entertainment

Michael Christine, CEO of Andrometa, introduced Andrometa as a company blending Epic Games-style ambition with blockchain-native infrastructure. The project’s standout feature is its patented AI technology, which allows in-game characters to double as V-tubing avatars. These avatars enable real-time streaming, anonymity, and role-based immersion across multiple games.

Maurice and Sander, from Hello Labs, emphasized Andrometa’s role within the Hello Incubator, highlighting its unique position as a first-party game developer, publisher, and tech innovator. With its own games, publishing agreements, and a clear expansion roadmap, Andrometa is being positioned as a standout project within the ecosystem.

Gaming Meets Streaming: SWRMS and Beyond

Michael also introduced SWRMS, a third-person anime-style hack-and-slash game developed for mobile and set within the Andrometa universe. It acts as a lead-in to a larger RPG and showcases the company’s ability to build not just single experiences, but an entire content ecosystem. With launch plans aimed at the Asia-Pacific market and support from industry veterans, SWRMS sets the stage for broader adoption of Web3-native entertainment.

Andrometa’s broader mission includes expansion into the Nintendo ecosystem and pushing gaming into truly interoperable formats. Their strategy includes global publishing, community-building, and utility-focused gaming that appeals to both casual players and on-chain enthusiasts.

AI, Infrastructure, and Predictive Trading

As the conversation shifted toward broader market innovation, Sander introduced Supra’s AutoFi, a new feature in L1 and L2 infrastructure that uses predictive modeling to enable auto-trading. The feature was highlighted as a leap forward in combining blockchain speed with real-time market intelligence.

StarLordy and others discussed how AI is quickly becoming a major force across trading, gaming, and content creation. Andrometa’s own AI integrations represent one version of that future, where characters, lore, and content evolve with the player or creator in real time.

Market Reactions, Tools, and Token Mechanics

Bunny pointed out the significance of Magic Eden acquiring Slingshot, noting that tools like this make crypto purchasing more seamless for everyday users. Ease of use continues to be a driving factor for adoption, especially among casual traders and newcomers to Web3.

The group also reflected on the Mantra OM token crash, citing questionable project decisions and a lack of sustainable tokenomics. This led to a broader conversation about how project structures, fundraising models, and token flows affect long-term viability.

Launch Lab, Fartcoin, and Speculative Trends

The panel discussed Launch Lab, a new platform positioned as a competitor to pump.fun. It was seen as a tool that could introduce more fairness and competition into launch environments.

There was also some light speculation around Fartcoin and similar meme tokens. Bunny and others acknowledged the role of these coins in capturing attention and liquidity, while reiterating the importance of looking beyond hype and into mechanics and utility.
