Welcome to EARLY, the podcast about web3 business from Bankless Consulting.
DSide's guests today are Nick and Marcus from Rumble Kong League (RKL), who discuss their journey in the world of decentralized finance (DeFi) and the gaming industry, respectively. Nick, an experienced DeFi enthusiast, has been involved in the space for years, while Marcus has a background in the gaming industry, particularly in the realm of "Free to Play" games.

The team has collaborated with brands, such as Gatorade, and work with NBA athletes to benefit the RKL community. They emphasize the importance of building communities and community engagement through the concept of "Clubs" within RKL.
Throughout the conversation, DSide shares his own experiences with RKL & his own RKL club, adding a personal touch to the discussion. The hosts also touch upon the close alignment between RKL's development and the community, indicating that the project is constantly evolving based on community feedback and involvement.
