The Future of Gaming is on Super Apps. Spekter Games is a next-gen game publisher on Telegram blending Web2 and Web3 features to supercharge monetization and retention at massive scale.

Web3 features can supercharge retention, monetization, and virality, but have failed to translate to mainstream gamer adoption. Web3 games have struggled to attract mainstream gamers due to two key issues: friction in onboarding, and Web3 incentive designs that take the fun out of the games. To reduce friction, we are publishing our games on chase-based super apps such as Telegram. Telegram is massive, and they have been quietly launching features that allow us to run our games directly on Telegram, enabling seamless game distribution, payments, and crypto wallet adoption. At Spekter Games, we’re launching full-featured Web2 games on Telegram, starting with rogue-lite games. Our approach delivers top-tier gameplay that appeals to traditional gamers while keeping Web3 elements passive and seamless. The gaming industry is massive, and the opportunity to blend Web2 and Web3 the right way can be explosive. We have the right team to do this, and we are ready to lead this revolution.

CEO, Founder at Spekter Games

Taehoon Kim

Taehoon Kim (TK) is a serial entrepreneur with over 20 years in the gaming industry. TK has raised over $100M in capital from top-tier VCs, and successfully founded and exited multiple companies, including nWay, Pixelberry, and Nurien. At nWay, he led the development of real-time, cross-play multiplayer hits like Power Rangers: Legacy Wars and Battle for the Grid, which surpassed 100 million downloads. After nWay’s acquisition by Animoca Brands in 2020, TK stayed on for three years, driving Web3 gaming initiatives and gaining firsthand exposure to hundreds of Web3 projects. With deep expertise in both Web2 and Web3 game development, he is uniquely positioned to create games that seamlessly blend the two for mainstream adoption.
