A poker gathering for the ALGO community
A one-developer operation, created as a side project under the pioneering vision of NFT artist CryptoShaynes as a social gathering for poker lovers in the ALGO community, the tournaments aim to shine a spotlight on promising artists and encourage development focus on the crypto gaming space.
Speaking to Coin Rivet, CryptoShaynes explained how Algorand Stacks is intended to be a lively amusing poker game for the community.
“[Algorand Stacks] is a free to play experience with a one time membership to help cover the costs,” he said.
“Prizes are donated by fellow NFT artists.”
An accomplished NFT artist himself as the creator of Psycho Skulls NFTs, CryptoShaynes was well placed within the AB2 Gallery community – Algorand’s blockchain NFT gallery – to bring together artists to bring the exciting tournaments to fruition.
“I am just an NFT artist who arranged a social poker game with some friends,” said the developer.
