Ep 3: From P2P Networks to AI-Built Games | Trac, OpenMayhem & PlayBay

Welcome to another episode of the Clean Slate Podcast! In this episode we explored what happens when peer-to-peer infrastructure, decentralised AI and game creation come together? Ep 3 takes an in-depth look at how different technologies within the wider Trac Network ecosystem can work together, using Trac, OpenMayhem and PlayBay as a practical example. The conversation begins with Trac Network's P2P coordination capabilities, moves into OpenMayhem's decentralised AI marketplace, and explores how PlayBay brings these technologies together to enable AI-powered game creation and multiplayer experiences. Along the way, we discuss AI routing, provider economics, privacy, payments, autonomous agents, creator monetisation and the possibilities emerging when developers are given greater freedom to build. From foundational infrastructure to real applications, this episode explores how open, modular technologies can connect to unlock new possibilities for developers, creators and users alike.
