"We've established the GEF Metaverse Council to cultivate ideas, voice, and shape to our metaverse reality; and to access the boundless prospects for our entire #worldconnected community," says the statement.
The council will be chaired by Hugo Philion, CEO of Flare, a blockchain interoperability project. Flare claims to provide a "scaling solution for smart contract networks without relying on economic safety mechanisms," according to its whitepaper.
Given his capacity to deal with cross-chain issues rather than being a single chain expert, Philion's status as chair should give the council some gravitas. Philion remarked,
"Esports presents boundless potential and a world of opportunities for blockchain applications."
The metaverse council of the Global Esports Federation (GEF) is off to a great start, with several significant people in the industry on board. Oxskellymode, NFT influencer and co-founder of Enigma Ventures; Sabertooth, director of Tiger Vision Global Pty Ltd and founder of the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) project Attack Tigers!; Melty Tanti, founder and creative director of Play & Earn (P&E) metaverse project Jambo Mambo; and MingWeiRocks, one of Asia's top TikTok creators with over 22 million followers, are among the new organization.
