Solana Startup Series: Future of Web3 Gaming with Guido Pardini, CEO of Shaga

The Index Podcast

What’s the future of Web3 gaming? Join us for a special episode of the Solana Startup Series on The Index. Today, we’re talking with Guido Pardini, CEO of Shaga, a revolutionary cloud gaming platform born from Solana Labs. Guido takes us on an inspiring journey from his teenage years in Italy, where he immersed himself in 3D printing and the maker movement, to his academic studies in computer science and electrical engineering in Milan. Discover how the 2009 financial crisis ignited his passion for decentralized technologies like Bitcoin, and how those early interests now fuel Shaga’s mission to revolutionize gaming by drastically reducing latency through decentralization.

We explore the key differences between centralized and decentralized gaming infrastructures and the innovative ways Shaga is solving the latency problem. Shaga’s DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) transforms individual gaming PCs into nodes, distributed near gamers. These nodes share their computing power to enhance the gaming experience, slashing latency and providing seamless, real-time gameplay. Guido also shares the ambitious plan to pilot a decentralized Xbox cloud gaming platform, offering lag-free experiences while giving small game studios access to free cloud infrastructure. Learn why Solana’s unique state-on-flight technology was the perfect foundation for this game-changing platform.

Don’t miss this deep dive into the future of gaming and the transformative potential of decentralized networks.
