Yele Bademosi, Nestcoin CEO, said that the gaming DAO publishes mobile games frontier markets as well as makes developer tools to use leading business models in web3 gaming.
He further said that though Africa is a land with the highest youth population worldwide, 60% of them are unemployed.
Through gaming, the youth can get opportunities to earn and put an end to poverty for their families. MVM’s seed sale can help in achieving this.
MVM is creating a soon-to-launch Hyper, a social gaming app. Bademosi also shared that the gaming DAO platform was attempting to launch 10 Web 2.0 games including Candy Blast, Electron Dash and Kong Clumb.
Though there’s no fixed date to launch the token, Bademosi has shared a tentative duration of 12 months. Also, MVM tokens will be locked for 12 months after the Token Distribution Event. It will unlock in quarterly installments for a total of 30 months.
Henry Chang, CEO of Wemade, said
Gaming guilds will be one of the mainstream DAOs and play a pivotal role in game tokenomics. Partnership with MVM is an opportunity to expand the ecosystem of WEMIX [a global blockchain gaming platform developed by Wemade] in Africa.
