Spotlight
As you may know, dear anon, the Gamble-Fi narrative is heating up, and we’ve been helping a very cool project from this niche called @PepesGame build awareness about what they’ve been working on.
@PepesGame is currently building on Arbitrum, and seeking to become one of the top names in the burgeoning Gamble-Fi niche.
Their public round is coming up on April 4th and they are also doing a $1500 threadooring competition to coincide with it!
Check out the below thread to learn more about both!
