Proof of Play will be ceasing operations. When we started out, we believed games using blockchain tech had the potential to usher in a new, decentralized internet. Ultimately, we couldn't build a product and sustainable business that proved out this thesis at scale. We are open-sourcing as much of our code and art as possible so it can be helpful to future builders & agents. Pirate Nation Unity app: github.com/proofofplay/pirat… Pirate Nation Smart Contracts: github.com/proofofplay/pirat… The Founder Pirates NFTs and the Pirate Nation artwork/IP/logos have been made available under a CC0 license. Available here: github.com/proofofplay/pirat… Our internal agent workflow tool for rapidly building software products with small teams: github.com/proofofplay/popbo… The Pirate Nation Foundation is independent from Proof of Play and will continue supporting the $PIRATE token. The Foundation website will remain operational. Proof of Play points will not be redeemable for anything. Shiba Story Go! has been acquired by a 3rd party and will continue to operate independently. Thanks for playing and building with us all of these years. We truly gave it our best effort and are grateful for everyone who passed through and spent time in our community.

We just crossed 100,000 players on Shiba Story Go! Thank you to everyone who has joined us on this journey so far. Your continued support means everything to the team.
