Ed Chang expressed satisfaction in partnering with Neowiz, emphasizing the expansion of their gaming network in South Korea.

Intella X’s focus is to gain a comprehensive understanding of Web3 gaming, NFTs, cultural dynamics, infrastructure, and advanced blockchain gaming through its participation in Arcad3.
Avalanche’s expertise in both Web2 and Web3 technologies provides an ideal environment for the exploration of Web3 games within the context of Arcad3’s innovative curriculum. This initiative includes participation from notable entities such as TSM/Blitz, Shrapnel, Merit Circle, Neowiz, and others. The program encompasses a comprehensive study of Ava Labs’ Web3 gaming tokenomics, compliance, and business strategies. It also offers valuable resources such as office hours, technical support, networking opportunities, and more.
