We’re back again to spotlight a dynamic duo laboring tirelessly to craft unique experiences side by side.
As we dive deeper and deeper into the clockwork of brilliant experts that allow the web3 world to tick into the future, the theme of community resounds constantly through each individual’s experience. It takes all of us to push the world of entertainment into tomorrow, together. That feeling of togetherness almost feels more than just disconnected, decentralized community… it often feels like family.
We all watch out for each other and work closely together in our pursuit of revolutionary entertainment experiences. We offer differing perspectives, collaborate for new innovations and prop each other up when necessary. It’s hard not to feel like this Web3 world is a family of sorts, but the pair of Galaxians we’re showcasing today take it a step further– they are family.
This husband and wife duo are charting the early explorations of intrepid VOX throughout all of decentralized existence. Working in their own respective expertise, they fabricate the foundations of the magnum opus to come. These are true pioneers– creating things no one has done before and working every day to give depth and soul to the future of Web3.
Today, we’re thrilled to feature Jonathan and Abigail… though many in the community may know them better as Discombobul8te and IndiaVenom!
