@playmythical
 decide to build on 
@Polkadot
 ?

Here is why - directly from the mouth of Mythical Games’ boss 
@johnwastaken
 :

‘We wanted to have all the control and all the security and there is only just 1 or 2 Layer 1s that can offer this - and Polkadot is one of them."

The era of DOT being unattractive to the broader Web3 ecosystem is now in the past. Juicy rewards await liquidity providers on Arbitrum, Base, BNB and Ethereum, with up to 29% APY.

These rewards are limited though, so you need to act fast."
