While we have many more updates on partnerships and reveals on the way, we thought that now is the right time for everyone to get a better understanding of who we are as a team.
This week we are going to start sharing our story alongside our plans to make Arcade Galaxy the next rewarding, fun-centric GameFi experience for the Web3 generation. As we build our platform, we want to involve all community members on key milestones — adapting to feedback and delivering key insights into our journey towards a successful launch.
So, how did this project start? For this first team update, you will get to meet the people that are at the heart of Arcade Galaxy.
