AriSwap Project Introduction

Ari Swap seeks to bring developers, gamers, and all digital communities together — to enrich minds through fun interactive gaming and NFTs.

AriSwap looks to build many pieces of its ecosystem:

  • Enable Virtual Goods (NFTs) on the Blockchain
  • An Easy-to-use Gaming Cryptocurrency
  • New Gaming Experience for Gamers and Developers

Ariswap is building a mobile-first platform with a decentralized structure that is designed to effectively manage, allot, and transact digital items. The key advantage of this is that content creators and gamers can have a newly developed model to own goods virtually.

Q&A w/ AriSwap:

What’s the goal of this project?

We seek to build the creator economy and community verse on Celo. We are Social Fun for Social Good.

Why did you decide to build on Celo?

Celo’s mission driven focus on prosperity for all aligns with our core values. Celo is highly engaged and seeks to help bank the un-banked. AriSwap has also partnered to support Impact Market in their efforts to eradicate poverty.

What inspired your team to work on this project?

The idea started by a vision of Alex the founder’s 8 year old daughter: a marketplace focused on community and collaboration that can unify an entire ecosystem around a common goal.

How can the community help or join?

Share your art, reach out for collaboration opportunities and to create synergies. If you’d like, stake your ARI in the Ubeswap farm and get rewarded.
