The GEF Metaverse Council is powered by a collective hive mind comprising global subject specialists including crypto and NFT project developers, creative directors, domain experts, and social influencers within the space.

“Three words come to mind whenever metaverse is mentioned; Play, Community and Inclusion. These words are equally relevant to esports. I’m looking forward to working with these movers and shakers in the Web3, esports, and social media space to shape greater connectivity and opportunities for a better, bigger, infinitely playable #worldconnected”, said Melvin Kuek, Vice-Chair of the GEF Metaverse Council.
