In their own words
If you’re building on the blockchain, you believe in the right to fully own your work wherever you take it.
Honestly, we were worried that we took it too far with the moonlit photosynthesis rabbit hole, and luckily they loved it enough to follow us down and out through it.
The feedback from the die-hard Moonbeam builders has been incredible.
Trust your talent and ensure that they are the right people for the work.
The first few years are beautiful chaos and require a lot of unspoken trust between everyone in the studio.
We try to make our studio space alive with energy and experimentation.
