Paribus Embracing DAO transition.

In our journey of developing Paribus, we’ve received a lot of feedback from our community, primarily positive and helpful. But, as is often the case when a small team controls a platform, not everyone agrees with our decisions. At every step, we’ve tried to make the best choices based on the information we had. We’ve always known that, eventually, it would be the community’s turn to take the lead in guiding Paribus.

And today, we got official confirmation that was the case. “Development stopped but we got about

44% Of Developers Claims Pandemic Caused Their Games To Be Delayed

2020 was a very peculiar year. The world was disrupted by a major pandemic that we’re still going through today. While we are starting to see that light at the end of the tunnel, it’s hard not to think back about how rough of a shape the markets were in last year.
