Panel – 16 July 2022 – Expert Stage

Founder & CEO

Shaban Shaame is the founder and CEO of EverdreamSoft, a Swiss-based company that is pioneering the use of blockchain technology in the global game industry.

Shaban graduated from the University of Geneva where he studied Information Technologies and Business. His first game was the successful trading card game Moonga, which was launched in 2010. The game was an early example of a mobile Collectible Card Game (CCG) in the style of established games like Hearthstone and Magic The Gathering. The game did especially well in Japan, where for a while it was one of the top 10 games on iOS.
In 2015, Shaban got interested in blockchain and for the first time he created a tokenized game asset and planted the seed for the NFT market today. His latest mobile game Spells of Genesis was launched in 2017. SoG has been designed specifically to allow players to purchase and trade in-game cards using either in-game currency (through traditional in-game purchases), cryptocurrency, or both. Today, Shaban and his team are developing their blockchain technology into a fully-featured platform, giving them the ability to turn something virtual into something tangible and own-able. Shaban also co-founded the Blockchain Game Alliance (BGA).
