By joining Treasure’s NFT marketplace community of over 100,000 interactive players and migrating to Arbitrum, Mighty Bear Games aims to develop its first Web3 title with an emphasis on gameplay accessibility and economy. Sustainable game.
Arbitrum is a Layer 2 network that sits on top of the Ethereum blockchain. Davis said in an email to GamesBeat that Arbitrum has a vibrant developer ecosystem and an active and highly engaged community.

We have a common vision and they are partners we know we can rely on. I spent a few days in Australia with some of the team members from Treasure and that really solidified our decision, there’s a lot of mutual admiration.»
