The story of THE EXPLORER GUILD - Chapter 2

November 30, 2021

Chapter II A strange sound hit the grey and electric sky. All the passers-by, including Jules Verne, turned around to observe the clouds. - “Oh, look, there!” shouted a businessman a few feet away.

Finding rarity

November 10, 2021

Rarity ranking When we released the explorers our mind was focused mostly on the unique combinations and narratives that can be built around each of the characters. While most certainly some attributes are rarer than others, the "looks" of each explorer is what we personally value the most and we t...

Halfway to the moon

November 04, 2021

The story of THE EXPLORER GUILD - Chapter 1

October 23, 2021

Chapter I It was a mild autumn evening. The weather was grey and a light breeze caressed his face. Jules Verne sat on one of the benches in the botanical garden, facing the lake.

Jude Nelson: App Chains

September 27, 2021

Image credit : axopoa Blockchains don't scale. The fact that all nodes process all transactions means that the blockchain only goes as fast as the slowest node allowed on the network.

From 0 to Sigle: The vision

September 20, 2021

Sigle started as a side project created by 2 "buidlers" and we didn't know where it would lead us.
