How’s everybody doing? This time around we are talking to Igor Sinkovec – CEO & Co-Founder of SpaceM
Igor, co-founder and co-owner of SpaceM, has been an entrepreneur for nearly 30 years. A seasoned professional in real estate and a blockchain enthusiast for the past six years, he’s invested in over 150 crypto projects. With expertise in token metrics, Igor discovered a true passion for tokenizing real-world assets (RWA). He’s also a proud father to three wonderful daughters.
Joining Igor in this venture is his co-founder and co-owner, Mladen Babic. Mladen brings 25 years of entrepreneurial experience to the table, with over a decade immersed in crypto and blockchain technology. Like Igor, he’s a real estate expert and a dedicated father, raising three amazing sons.
Together, Igor and Mladen bootstrapped SpaceM with their own funds, building the project from the ground up without relying on early or major investors.
Chris: What inspired the creation of SpaceM, and how did the concept evolve into this all-in-one Web3 hub?
Igor: Our main inspiration a few years ago was to build something truly easy to use, a gateway into crypto for everyone. We saw a big gap: entering the blockchain space was just too complicated. Whether you wanted to play, learn, earn, invest, or simply have fun, it required navigating across multiple disconnected platforms.
That frustration pushed us to create SpaceM, an all-in-one ecosystem that brings together the key pillars of Web3: Social, Gaming, Fiat-Crypto solutions, and RealFi through tokenized real-world assets. The idea was simple: build one seamless hub where anyone can earn, learn, play, and invest, without needing to be an expert.
Our mission is to make onboarding to Web3 as effortless and engaging as possible, and to build a community of 100 million users who grow and thrive together in this space.
Chris: SpaceM blends GameFi, SocialFi, RealFi, and CrowdFi under one roof. What was the ‘aha’ moment that led you to combine all these sectors into one ecosystem?
Igor: The “aha” moment came when we realized all our pillars, GameFi, SocialFi, RealFi, CrowdFi, and Education, share one goal: helping users earn and create value. Instead of spreading these opportunities across disconnected platforms, we decided to build one unified ecosystem under a single token and identity. That’s how SpaceM was born.
We’re building the ultimate Web3 hub, a single, accessible platform where anyone can make money. Whether you’re a content creator turning viral posts into NFTs through our SocialFi, a gamer earning through our mini-apps, a real estate investor buying into tokenized assets via RealFi, or someone supporting the next big Web3 startup through CrowdFi, there’s a place for you here.
And to top it off, we’ll guide you through it all with SpaceM Academy, where users can learn real-world, income-generating skills inside and outside the Web3 space. At the end of the day, we’re all here to create value — and SpaceM is the place to do it.
Chris: The SpaceM Node system is a core element. What makes your passive income model sustainable over time, and how is it different from similar node-based projects that struggled with inflation?
Igor: Yes, the SpaceM Node system is one of our most powerful pillars, and it’s built for long-term sustainability, not hype. Our Super Node NFTs are programmed to generate daily passive income for over 4 years, but that’s just the beginning.
What truly sets us apart is that Node Holders = Shareholders. This means they don’t just earn from daly token generation, they receive a share of profits from every major ecosystem pillar we activate.
And the first big one is launching soon: our Fiat-Crypto solution, including a SpaceM-branded debit card with a built-in crypto exchange and IBAN account, already approved for the EU and 147 countries globally, via direct partnerships with Mastercard and Visa Premium.
So whether it’s payments, conversions, or real-world transactions, Node holders get rewarded from every step.
Plus, our supply is limited to 20,000 Nodes, nearly 4,000 already sold, which adds scarcity and long-term value.
Unlike older node projects that inflated into collapse, SpaceM is backed by real utility, revenue, and growth across multiple sectors. I could talk about this for hours — but trust me, this is just the beginning.
Chris: The fusion of Play-to-Earn with SocialFi is intriguing — how do you plan to keep gameplay and social interactions both fun and profitable?
Igor: The fusion of Play-to-Earn with SocialFi has been one of our most exciting challenges and I think we’re doing something really unique here. Our focus has always been on making sure that what users do inside our ecosystem is both fun and financially rewarding.
Right now, we already have several parts of the SpaceM ecosystem live and in use. On our Social Platform, users can post content, generate AI-driven posts, and engage with others and it’s not just for likes. They’re earning credits that will be directly convertible 1:1 with $SPACEM tokens.
Inside that same platform, we’ve integrated a minigame, SpaceM Pinball, where we host weekly leaderboard events with real rewards. On top of that, we just launched a Telegram mini-app where users can level up, earn XP, and qualify for our upcoming airdrop based on daily logins, game activity, and referrals. It’s simple, viral, and rewarding.
What ties it all together is this: we’ve built systems that reward people for being active. Whether you’re playing, creating, or referring, your time actually translates into value.
At the end of the day, people are here to earn. And with SpaceM, they can do that while genuinely having fun.
Chris: Transforming viral posts into NFTs sounds like a creator's dream. How does SpaceM's SocialFi ensure content ownership and monetization for creators while preventing spam or low-effort content?
Igor: Great question. SpaceM’s SocialFi is built to give creators real ownership and the most genuine path to monetization. Creators will be able to turn their viral content into NFTs and sell it directly to their fans, cutting out middlemen and keeping full control over their work.
To ensure quality, we’ve implemented a system where SpaceM Credits are required to mint content as NFTs. These credits are either earned through real engagement or purchased with $SPACEM, which filters out spam and low-effort content.
It’s Web3-powered virality where only high-performing content stands out, creators are genuinely rewarded by the strength and support of their own communities.
Chris: Tokenizing real-world assets is a massive opportunity. What kind of real estate or tangible assets will SpaceM tokenize first, and how will users engage with them?
Igor: Oh, this is my life’s passion! I’ve spent nearly 30 years in real estate, and bringing that experience into Web3 through SpaceM is something I’m incredibly excited about. Tokenizing real-world assets isn’t just a feature for us, it’s a core pillar of the future we’re building.
Users will be able to invest in fractional ownership of real estate-backed assets with as little as $100, all seamlessly through the SpaceM interface.
Imagine owning part of a hotel, a golf club, or a beachfront apartment, without needing full capital. That’s the power of RealFi. And with $SPACEM powering the entire ecosystem, Node holders will also benefit from profit-sharing across all pillars.
We’ve got the real-world expertise, the tech, and a clear mission and I truly believe it’s one of the most impactful parts of what we’re building.
Chris: The Learn-to-Earn model through SpaceM Academy sounds empowering. What kind of content or certifications do you plan to offer — and is it beginner-friendly?
Igor: Absolutely. The SpaceM Academy is designed to empower users with real, income-generating knowledge, whether you’re brand new to Web3 or already deep in the space.
Our goal is to teach people how to make money inside the SpaceM ecosystem, across all our pillars — GameFi, SocialFi, RealFi, and CrowdFi. The more you learn, the more you earn, literally.
We’re building beginner-friendly, step-by-step learning paths that cover everything from Web3 basics and DeFi strategies, to content creation, security, and even real-world asset investing. You’ll use $SPACEM tokens to unlock courses, which adds real utility and value to the token.
Chris: Your plan mentions a $300M market cap and 100K+ token holders in 2025. What marketing, tech, and community strategies are you betting on to hit those aggressive targets?
Igor: We're aiming high and we’re confident because we’ve built SpaceM differently. First of all, our team is incredible. The energy, conviction, and pace we operate at is what gives us an edge. In the past few weeks alone, we’ve expanded fast, and we’re opening our own office space in Slovenia, not just for our core team, but as a hub for Web3 builders, creators, and partners to connect and collaborate.
Our strategy is multi-layered and most importantly, we’re not limited to one narrative. SpaceM unites GameFi, SocialFi, RealFi, and CrowdFi into one ecosystem, which allows us to attract a massive and diverse community. And with carefully crafted tokenomics, the $SPACEM token is holding strong, even as the market bleeds, we’re hitting new highs.
We’re not just aiming for numbers, we’re building momentum, and that’s how we plan to achieve this ambitious goals.
Chris: Thanks for taking us on this journey through SpaceM! Before we wrap up — do you have any final thoughts or messages you’d like to share with the Web3 community or future SpaceM pioneers?
Igor: We’re early. And the early believers always win big.
SpaceM isn’t just a project, it’s a movement. We’re building the Web3 hub of the future, where digital value flows back to the people creating it. If you’re tired of watching from the sidelines, now’s your time. Join the crew, get involved, and help us shape the next chapter of Web3.
Because this isn’t just a bull run, it’s a SpaceRUN.
