With over 10 years of experience within the gaming industry, NerdyStar aims to take this knowledge and work towards enhancing the rights of denizens of the whole gaming ecosystem. Gamers, traders, players, etc, NerdyStar’s LUXON, its blockchain game platform, aims to accomplish this, while broadly accelerating the transition of the entire industry from web 2 to web 3.

“With insights and experience gained from more than ten years of expertise in the game industry, engaging gameplay is not an afterthought at Nerdystar,” said Nerdystar CEO, Alan Huh. “We aim to appeal to a traditional gaming audience that wants more ownership without sacrificing game quality.”
