At the recent #OnePieceLabs Universities Tour’s last leg, held on November 17, 2024, the PixelPaddle team had the invaluable opportunity to engage with a vibrant community of students, builders, and blockchain enthusiasts at Simon Fraser University (#SFU). The event served as a crucial platform for our sports metaverse startup to deepen our understanding of the rapidly evolving Web3 landscape.
The keynote by Eddie Li, Founder of #AEON Protocol, highlighted the importance of bridging Web2 and Web3, a concept that resonates with our mission at PixelPaddle.
