🎙️ In this episode of The Web3 Gamer, I sit down with Jack O’Holleran, Co-Founder and CEO of SKALE Labs, to explore the frontier of gas-less blockchains and what it means to build scalable, user-friendly infrastructure for the next generation of Web3 games and dApps.
A seasoned Silicon Valley entrepreneur, Jack has been instrumental in shaping SKALE Network — a modular, EVM-compatible blockchain built to solve Ethereum’s scalability limitations without sacrificing decentralization. By offering zero gas fees and instant finality, SKALE is paving the way for developers to create high-performance, blockchain-powered experiences that don’t alienate users with complexity or cost.
With support from the SKALE DAO, the N.O.D.E. Foundation, and over 50 companies and DAOs, SKALE is more than a network — it’s a global collaborative ecosystem designed for growth, resilience, and radical accessibility.
In this episode, we dig into:
🔹 Why Scalability Actually Matters for Web3 Adoption
Jack explains why the next 100 million users won’t wait for a transaction to finalize — and how SKALE is removing those barriers from the jump.
🔹 Building the Web3 Internet Backbone
We explore SKALE’s vision of fast, modular, gas-free chains powering everything from AAA games to social apps — and what it takes to make that real.
🔹 Decentralization Without the Bloat
Jack breaks down how SKALE uses DAO governance, open-source contributions, and decentralized multisig approvals to scale sustainably — without getting bogged down.
🔹 The Role of the NODE Foundation
We look at how this Liechtenstein-based nonprofit fuels SKALE’s mission — from grants and elections to maintaining technical integrity.
🔹 What’s Next for Web3 Infrastructure
From onboarding developers to driving user growth, Jack shares his thoughts on how to build networks that empower creators and disappear into the background for players.
With deep experience in blockchain architecture, governance, and startup growth, Jack O’Holleran brings sharp insight into what it means to scale Web3 — not just technically, but socially and economically.
📢 Tune in now to hear how SKALE is redefining what’s possible for developers, players, and the entire decentralized ecosystem.
