David Baszucki, CEO of Roblox, ne Web3 integration aur non-fungible tokens (NFTs) ki potential integration par ishara diya hai Roblox ecosystem mein. Ek recent CNBC interview mein, Baszucki ne digital assets, including NFTs, ko platforms par seamlessly move karne ki apni vision share ki, jo virtual spaces ke current closed ecosystems ko challenge karta hai.
Jabki is vision ka collaborative aspect explicitly confirm nahi kiya gaya tha, Baszucki ne ek scenario outline kiya jahan influential figures, jaise Elton John, Roblox par exclusive items create kar sakte hain aur unhe charitable causes ke liye NFTs mein convert kar sakte hain. Platform-exclusive model se yeh departure metaverse mein digital assets ki functionality ko reshape kar sakta hai. Baszucki ne creators ke pivotal role ko highlight kiya is envisioned interoperability mein, Nike ke web3 space mein venture se parallels draw karte hue.
Yeh pehli baar nahi hai jab Roblox ne web3 aur NFT integrations par hint diya ho. 2022 mein, us samay ke Chief Business Officer Craig Donato ne NFTs ke Roblox par kaam karne par discuss kiya tha lekin urgency ko kam bataya tha. Platform ke colossal 70 million daily active users ke bawajood, Roblox web3 trend ko embrace karne mein koi jaldi nahi dikha raha.
Latest financial report platform ki robust performance ko underscore karta hai, Q3 mein $839.5 million bookings ke saath, jo 20% YoY increase hai. Notably, Roblox ki revenue predominantly uske in-app currency, "Robux" ki sale se aati hai. Iske alawa, 2023 ke third quarter mein, developers ne $170.7 million earn kiye, jo 2022 ke third quarter mein earn kiye gaye $151.5 million se 13% increase hai.
Platform par content ki diversity ka matlab hai ki Roblox ke millions of daily users mein se koi bhi kuch aisa dhoondh sakta hai jiske liye woh excited ho aur apne friends ko bhi unke saath khelne ke liye invite kar sake. Ek master app ke through content access karne ki low friction aur users ke liye kisi bhi samay available content ki enormous library Roblox ke flywheel ka ek key pillar bani hui hai. Jab baat paying users ki aati hai, toh monthly unique payers (MUPs) Q3 2023 mein 14.7 million ka all-time high pahunch gaye, jo Q3 2022 ke 12.9 million se upar hai. Average bookings per monthly unique payer (ABPMUP) Q3 2023 mein $19.02 thi, jo Q3 2022 ke $18.11 se upar hai.
Jabki Roblox mein NFT integration ka allure undeniable hai, urgency ki kami ek cautious approach suggest karti hai. Jaise Roblox apne user base ko expand karna aur substantial revenue accumulate karna jaari rakhta hai, platform par NFT aur web3 adoption ka timing ek open-ended question bana hua hai, jo ise evolving web3 landscape mein dekhne layak space banata hai.
