We are excited to present our distinguished and diverse panel of judges, which includes both familiar faces from 2022 and new voices who represent various facets of the web3 gaming landscape. The latest additions are especially remarkable, as they include prominent figures from web3 gaming venture capital firms, blockchain and ecosystem experts, infrastructure partners, content creators, as well as respected leaders in the gaming industry and technology giants like Amazon and Google.
