When @disregardfiat and I started @dlux-io back in 2018, Hive was known by another name, and the metaverse wasn't yet a well known idea (although Ready Player One) was certainly helping.
I was fairly new to LA, obsessed with virtual reality, and unhappy with how the internet was progressing.
Fast forward to today, I've finally established a career foothold in the LA commercial scene (hoping to jump to film one day), I'm still bullish on VR longterm, and the popular internet is the worst it's ever been IMO.
Over the last 4 years, DLUX has delivered several notable firsts:
1 ) First AR+VR blockchain dApp publishing paradigm complete with builder (yes, we beat Decentraland and everyone else to the punch with no funding)
2 ) First Layer 2 solution for Hive with a completely decentralized exchange (DEX)
3 ) First Generative NFT minting (with the lowest possible fees, basically at cost)
The journey has been a difficult yet exciting one, and the Hive community has made it one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
I feel I've finally found an internet I can believe in wholly, with a shared vision of the future we all want to live into. We are in the strongest position yet to make this a (real) reality.
And I am eternally grateful for everyone who has joined in our little project over the years, and can't wait to meet each new person who shares our excitement for crypto, nfts, the metaverse, and open internet for all. Jump into our Discord Server if you haven't already.
