During Wildcard\u2019s recent Town Hall on March 28, Paul said \u201cMagic Eden\u2019s commitment and experience in Web3 gaming, along with their Polygon partnership, make them an ideal partner for Wildcard and the community.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n During the Town Hall event, Chad Huggins, VP of EcoSystem Marketing at Polygon said their hope for this partnership is to continue to grow together. \u201cAt the protocol and company level, we are spiritually aligned with the Wildcard ethos. Onboarding Wildcard was a huge deal, and Wildcard continues to be one of the top projects we\u2019re focused on,\u201d Huggins said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Huggins predicts a bright future for Wildcard. \u201cWhat\u2019s cool about Wildcard, is that a lot of games start small by gaming industry standards\u2026but based on what we\u2019ve seen with Wildcard\u2019s growth and community so far, the assumption is that it will blow up and have millions of MAUs [Monthly Active Users].\u201d<\/p>\n Everyone who has had the good fortune to play test Wildcard and\/or watch the game being played falls in love with it, and they cannot wait for Wildcard\u2019s official launch with the Genesis WildPass dropping later this month. Spectators who tuned in to watch the Melee on the Meteor<\/strong> match on Youtube were treated to a thrilling gameplay display and they are ready for more Wildcard.\u00a0<\/p>\n Katy Bettner, Wildcard\u2019s co-founder echoed the same sentiments about the partnership with Magic Eden and said the goal for Wildcard is to build an incredibly fun game and to leverage Web3 technology to create a living, breathing, competitive ecosystem that includes players, creators, owners, collectors, and fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n Since announcing their $46M funding round from Paradigm VC last June, the Wildcard community has grown into a highly-engaged universe, even though the game hasn\u2019t been released to the public yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n With a growing Discord channel of more than 35,000 members, Wildcard is well on its way to \u2018blowing up and attaining millions of MAUs.\u2019 So get your WILD on with Wildcard. Don\u2019t miss the Genesis mint and get your WildPass on April 20.<\/p>\n Opportunities for remaining WildList spots are limited, but they will be announced on Wildcard\u2019s Discord<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> channels.<\/p>\n To learn more visit wildcardgame.com\/wildpass<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
