BLVKHVND is creating an emerging ecosystem for onchain esports organizations. Their mission is to be the center of competition no matter where it lives. After breaking history as the first DAO to win a professional world championship they are driven to make the HVND fully owned and stewarded by everyone on the internet to build upon that success.

Being in telegram groups for art and NFTs long before the hype really came into the space. What it’s been like for Sirsu behind the scenes. Extraordinary experiences like raising $1 million in one day on a Mirror crowd fund and booting up an eSports organization with multiple teams competing around the world. Helping to launch Mint Fund in collaboration with others at Forefront, Zora and Seed Club ~ a community-owned initiative helping crypto creators mint their first NFTs.
