DEFVERSE is an NFT project that was originally founded by John K Marcos in early 2022. His vision of a platform to host his own NFT games, and those of other independent developers in a central social hub, is what initially sparked his interest in the project. Intrigued by the potential of the crypto markets shortly after the Bitcoin boom in late 2017, he later became attracted to the concept of NFTs and their functionality and collectorship. After studying the financial market and familiarising himself with blockchain technology he began to create the DEFVERSE project.
