NFT

Thiago explains how he moved from React Native development into Web3 and describes his work on an NFT fashion project. The talk introduces DeFi, GameFi, and the challenges that scams and difficult onboarding create for newcomers. It outlines a React Native Web3 stack: a low-level blockchain library such as viem, a wallet connection kit, and hooks such as wagmi. Thiago explains why browser-focused tooling often requires polyfills in React Native and discusses efforts to make Web3 apps and cross-platform development easier.

The talk argues that startups should begin with one customer problem and make the simplest useful product work before adding features or scaling. OpenSea and Gusto illustrate how focused early products can grow into broader businesses over time. The speakers urge founders to validate ideas with customers rather than relying on investor approval, press, or assumptions that a model will work in another market. They also emphasize disciplined execution and warn that hardware crowdfunding creates serious risks when teams take money before they know whether or how they can deliver.
