■Comment from Mr. Yusaku Maesawa, founder of MZ CLUB
MZ CLUB’s first project in Japan, “ELF Masters”, is now in full swing. Play to Earn (P2E) is spreading globally, and MZ CLUB hopes to spread this trend to Japan as well.
Furthermore, it was announced today that “ELF Masters” tokens will have an IEO on bitFlyer. We hope that tokens earned from the game will be able to be smoothly converted into Japanese yen, and we expect that this will further spread in the future.
One year after investing in HashPort led by Seihaku Yoshida in August 2021, we expect the company to further accelerate its growth and lead the NFT industry in Japan.
■Comment from Mr. Yoshida, CEO and President of HashPalette Inc.
We are very pleased to have signed a partnership agreement with MZ Cryptos. Mr. Maesawa, the founder of the company, has been a shareholder of our company and has been a generous supporter for some time.
We are also honored that he has chosen “ELF Masters” as the first project of MZ CLUB in Japan.
With the support of Mr. Maezawa and everyone at MZ Cryptos, we will do our best to build a gaming ecosystem that will be loved by many people, so that the Palette chain will be a place where those who have not yet used NFT or played blockchain games before can experience it for the first time. We will do our best to build a gaming ecosystem that will be loved by many.
