There is also the growth of the Treasure DAO community, known for its vibrant ecosystem of gamers, creators, and developers utilizing ArbitrumOne.

We expect to see more games & NFTs come online now that this integration is live. The future of onchain gaming is coming and this partnership between the Treasure and Hop communities is yet another step in realizing that future.
