Stacked Studios is a Los Angeles-based Web3 startup studio building a decentralized live-streaming platform. The NFT project is built by a team of 11 full-time employees at Stacked Studios. The group has immense web2 and web3 experience, coming from prestigious institutes including MIT. Some of the team also come from the world\u2019s top companies \u2013 Microsoft, Uber and Goldman Sachs, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The fully doxxed team is as below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alex Lin \u2013 CEO<\/li>\n<li>Ryan Wen \u2013 Chief of Staff<\/li>\n<li>Victor Cheng \u2013 SR Software Engineer<\/li>\n<li>Samantha Chow \u2013 Product Manager<\/li>\n<li>Terry Kang \u2013 Software Engineer<\/li>\n<li>Roberto Berwa \u2013 Software Engineer<\/li>\n<li>Ding Zhang \u2013 Lead Software Engineer<\/li>\n<li>Matt Henderson \u2013 Software Engineer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some of Valhalla\u2019s gaming partners are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wardell \u2013 Pro Valorant player<\/li>\n<li>JD Gaming \u2013 The #1 League of Legends team in China<\/li>\n<li>Talon esports \u2013 Premier Esports team in Asia-Pacific<\/li>\n<li>Sentinels \u2013 Esports team (Valorant, Fortnite, Halo, Wild Rift, and Apex Legends<\/li>\n<li>T1 Esports \u2013 3x World Champions (League of Legends)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2\/>\n<p>The Valhalla NFT project positions itself to become the number one gaming NFT community in the world. Valhalla ran a unique application process for their mint. Existing members sent out referral codes to friends, so the application pool grew purely by word of mouth. This unique model saw the project generate over 11,000 applications, making it a huge web3 success story!<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the project has over 24,000 members on their active Discord server. Valhalla NFT holders also gain access to certain Discord channels that non-holders can not enter. Users without a Valhalla NFT can only access the basic Discord server.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, according to Valhalla\u2019s official NFT \u00a0Twitter, the project has over 48,000 followers since May 2022. But beware, a lot of fake accounts of the project are already on social media. Collectors must follow their official accounts to avoid scams and fraud.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Valhalla_vs_Azuki_NFT_What_Happened\">Valhalla vs Azuki NFT: What Happened?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The web3 brand has also faced its fair share of conspiracy. And this one is up against another well-known Anime-themed project \u2013 none other than the top NFT collection Azuki. The whole thing started out when crypto detectives NFT Ethics wrote a detailed thesis on both these projects. Apparently, both the projects have the same founders and Valhalla would be nothing more than a scam. Of course, both the projects\u2019 communities got dragged into this and spiraled into controversy.<\/p>\n<p>For those unfamiliar, <a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/azuki-nft-check-out-how-this-manga-style-brand-is-taking-on-the-metaverse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azuki<\/a> is a digital brand associated with 10,000 avatars. It is the first of its kind, top Anime-themed avatar collection to ever exist. Since its release, the project has constantly innovated in the space, bringing new and improved technologies to further its expansion into web3. Many consider Azuki to be at the forefront of web3 innovation still. The founder of Azuki is Zagabond alongside co-founder HoshiBoy. And this, as NFT Ethics points out, is the source of the controversy.<\/p>\n<p>Valhalla NFT Founder Alex Lin also founded Stacked Studios. In their original thread, NFT Ethics claims that Alex Lin and HoshiBoy are the same people. This is because both have similar biographies on their official websites. The official Azuki website displays Hoshiboy as a design lead who \u201cdid Y-Combinator twice\u201d. Whereas, on Alex Lin\u2019s official Twitter, it states that he\u2019s a 2x Y-Combinator founder. Alex Lin\u2019s profile previously also showed him as the design lead.<\/p>\n<p>But things took a turn when the community responded to NFT Ethics. In fact, they debunked this theory themselves in the next thread they put out. They state that Alex Lin and Hoshiboy are not the same people but rather \u201clong-term business partners\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-88363 size-full\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person.jpg.webp 512w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person-300x197.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person-85x56.jpg.webp 85w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person-150x99.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person-450x296.jpg.webp 450w\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20512%20337'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20512%20337'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"337\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person.jpg 512w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person-85x56.jpg 85w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person-450x296.jpg 450w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person.jpg\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<p><noscript><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-88363 size-full\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person.jpg.webp 512w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person-300x197.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person-85x56.jpg.webp 85w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person-150x99.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person-450x296.jpg.webp 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person.jpg 512w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person-85x56.jpg 85w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Alex-Lin-and-HoshiBoy-Same-Person-450x296.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>However, the response from various community members and the majority of people was disagreement.\u00a0 They called NFT Ethics out saying that all of this is an overthought conspiracy theory. Some even claim that NFT Ethics has a personal agenda against both collections. Moreover, they also said someone paid NFT ethics to stir the drama to negatively impact both Valhalla and Azuki NFT collections.<\/p>\n<p>Although, it is undeniable that both collections do share similarities in their art style. The characters of both collections are anime-theme avatars. Each NFT in both their collections only has side profiles shown. Additionally, both projects cater to web3 gaming as well. It wouldn\u2019t come as a surprise to anyone to compare and contrast both these projects. But there are no limits to web3 and having one Anime themed collection does not mean someone cannot make another successful one in this space.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"The_Future_Of_Valhalla\">The Future Of Valhalla<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/joinvalhalla.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Valhalla<\/a> has built a tight-knit community on both Twitter and Discord since its launch. With over 11,000 applications for early access, the gaming partnerships they\u2019ve already formed, the team\u2019s background, and the overall quality of the brand, it\u2019s safe to say this is a long-term-minded project. The NFT team builds for the far future and caters to one of the most profitable sectors on the blockchain \u2013 web3 gaming.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Valhalla is already funded with years of runway and will predictably integrate well into the Stacked Studios ecosystem.\u00a0In September, Pantera Capital led a $12.9 million Series A funding for Stacked Studios.
