We announced two exciting partnerships that are valuable for both STACK & STK’s next steps and to deliver value to our existing and future members. STACK has partnered with HXOUSE for HXOUSELIVE in Toronto! We know our tribes admire Artists that are affiliated with HXOUSE, so through this partnership we will be able to provide tailored creative and music experiences for our members! STACK is teaming up with Rambus to shape the new generation of mobile banking and securing virtual assets on blockchain. The affiliation with Rambus, a big player in data and security, will be advantageous in conversations with regulators. To continue promoting our Twitch partnership, our team will be at the Enthusiast Gaming Live Expo (EGLX) in Toronto to connect with our gaming community!
