After an accelerated training camp and many long practice sessions, we’re happy to announce that CryptoStrikers is live on MainNet! 🎉 You can access our website via 1️⃣ desktop using MetaMask on Chrome, FireFox, and Opera; or the Brave browser; and 2️⃣ mobile using Dapp browsers such as Cipher Browser, Toshi, Trust Wallet, and Status. To learn how to get set up using any of these methods, please read this getting started post.

Thanks 🙏 to our extended team (more about them in future posts) of illustrators, designers, and attorneys for helping to get us to the opening whistle. In addition, we’d like to extend special thanks 🙏🙏 to the Status Incubate team (words from them in this post) for all their assistance!
