New website.](https://acetcg.xyz/)\n- [Ace NFTs](https://twitter.com/mettahead/status/1686547148463013888/photo/1) are offered weekly at the Gitcoin Community Call (encouraging PGN adoption and community engagement).\n- Playtests are being enjoyed by both crypto and non-crypto folks.\n- [Ace Library V1](https://acelibrary.super.site/) has been launched and will continue to grow with new cards created by all of us.\n- The Treehouse is our weekly jam session where we generate art and ideas together\u2013[join us!](https://t.me/+wiAqhOSf1jw1MzZh)\n\nI'm tremendously grateful for the support from Gitcoin and the regen community. I could not have done this without your generosity. \n\nWe're working hard to make Ace fun and meaningful and plan to begin production this fall! (so sign up for [updates!](https://acetcg.xyz/))\n\n![Ace2](https://i.imgur.com/RSNfCCg.png)\n\n# Dive deeper into the world of Ace. \n\nThe outside world sees crypto as little more than a decentralized casino but an optimistic counternarrative has emerged around the regen community. This vision reveals that crypto gives us coordination superpowers.\n\nI believe that for the regenerative mission to succeed, we must amplify positive-sum stories that are informative, fun, and accessible to all. \n\n## Overview\n\nAs a former Creative Director with Gitcoin, my art helped fundraise over half a million dollars for the Gitcoin Grants Matching Pool since 2021. My focus on regen fiction has now shifted to cultivating Ace, a world of web3 lore, history, and memes. In the project I am proposing, Moloch, Ether\u2019s Phoenix, and the Dark Forest are just the beginning of a new, uplifting mythology.\n\nCrypto is at a critical inflection point. Your choice to invest in this project will help realize a positive-sum future for the following reasons:\n\n- Everyone loves a good game. That makes them core infrastructure for the degen to regen pipeline. Unlike linear entertainment, games evoke feelings of freedom, creativity, responsibility, accomplishment, and friendship. These feelings mirror the core values of Gitcoin and the larger regen ecosystem. \n- Ace mirrors reality. Every card has abilities in the game, and every character, technology, and gameplay mechanic also represents a powerful force in the real world. The game presents critical concepts like private keys and self-sovereign identity in a way non-technical folks can grok.\n- Web3 is by nature adversarial. Newcomers consistently fall for the same schemes and OGs can do a better job of passing along the wisdom of past cycles. Ace mythology features relatable characters and lore that orient and guide new adventurers through the cryptoverse.\n- New settlers are not the only people confused about web3; many crypto elders are still unaware that \u201cEthereum isn\u2019t here to make you rich, Ethereum is here to set you free\" (Vitalik Buterin). Beliefs motivate behavior and it is essential we make the regen vision clear and attractive.\n- Public goods awareness needs to increase in the NFT space. The NFT community has an outsized impact on how the world perceives crypto but our PFP frens are generally oblivious to the regen way. The Gitcoin x MetaLabels drop, Creature World collaboration, and PublicNouns projects have made promising headway and Ace is the next step to trojan horse our regen crypto values.\n- For those of us already Greenpilled: Ace represents a celebration of the adventures that have brought us here\u2013and an inspiring vision of what we hope to buidl together next.\n\nI am very excited to be shipping physical cards soon. Production costs will be covered by a separate NFT campaign split between manufacturing expenses and the Gitcoin Matching Pool. Sign up for updates [here.](https://acetcg.xyz/)\n\n**Donating to this grant does not get you physical cards!**\n\nThis project is years in the making. I hope it brings you as much joy as it's brought me.\n\nTogether, we co-create the world of Ace.\n\n## Bio:\nAs a Creative Director with Gitcoin, my art helped fundraise over half a million dollars for the Gitcoin Grants Matching Pool since 2021. Ethereum\u2019s culture and values are central to my creative work and I have continued to dedicate my art sales to funding social causes. I have a proven record of project generation, initiation, development, and completion.\n- Infinite Garden Coloring Book (forward by Aya Miyaguchi) - 2023\n- Gitcoin Creative Director (NFT fundraisers for Gitcoin Grants) - 2021-2022\n- Spider-Man Character Artist (Sony) - 2018-2021\nMake new cards and get updates and hang with regens.
