At that moment, in my eyes, no one wanted capital to develop blockchain initiatives inappropriate ways. Some people consider ICOs merchandise, which is the opposite of my professional ethics as a technology engineer. At some point, I was curious when hearing about a game constructed on the blockchain platform, and I tried it and found out that blockchain isn’t always as bad as I had imagined before. The key lies in the way you enforce the technology. I decided to offer it a try, and Axie Infinity was created. When the game started getting friendly responses from the network, I decided to stop my current job to pay attention to the project. Axie Infinity was created by four co-founders, such as Tu Doan, a co-founder of Lozi, and me. The other 3 are Aleksander Larsen from Norway, Jeffrey Zirlin from the United States, and Andy Ho, a co-employee at the old organization. I met the two foreign co-founders through the blockchain-based game we played collectively. Later, we no longer met each other face to face however worked online. It was the beginning of Axie Infinity in overdue 2017 and early 2018.”
