As a Warehouse Associate at Trove Brands, you will coordinate the receiving, preparation, and shipping of product. You’ll play an integral role in the efficiency of our inbound and outbound supply chain.

But that’s not all.

You’ll become part of the Trove Brands family, which means being a part of a fun, fast-paced, and team-focused work culture. We work hard, and we play just as hard. We have the facilities for it, too—like our state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga studio, basketball/pickleball/volleyball court, and golf simulator. We host fitness classes, team-building activities (think pickleball, volleyball, and dodgeball tournaments), wellness challenges, and more.

Once you’ve worked up an appetite working and working out, you’ll enjoy our onsite marketplace with subsidized food and drinks, monthly catered lunches, and company-wide birthday treats (and with a company of 180+ team members and growing, there are bound to be treats a few times each week.)

#NFTsummer A few weeks ago, we interviewed Xixi Huang (AW#17) in Mandarin and as the AppWorks Fellow who helps us out on the blockchain side, Xixi has a lot of ideas that are worth sharing to a bigger audience. Here's his interview in English:

西西 (Xixi) 黃士晉 is an AppWorks #17 alumni and co-founder of Rydeit. His mission is to bring the applications of blockchain to everyday life because he believes that blockchain can make the world a more fair and better place. As an AppWorks Fellow, he is responsible for guiding founders to think about blockchain and providing insights on blockchain-related investment deals. Before AppWorks, he led his previous team to build more than 10 dapps, including famous games in Taiwan such as 柚子打魚 and Shrimp.Finance. Within a month of launching these games, they had amassed over NT$ 100M (~US$ 3.5M) in transactions. His favorite pastime is traveling with his grandma, and his ultimate goal is to persuade her to buy Bitcoin!

Check out what Xixi has to say about blockchain and NFTs.

#NFTevolution

I started to learn how to write smart contracts in 2016, and learned the entire logic of ERC-20 for tokens and ERC-721 for NFTs. While I was learning about NFTs, I realized that the combination of NFTs with video games was very fitting. In video games, the treasure and equipment you collect becomes virtual assets as NFTs. And the process of using smart contracts to exchange items was very efficient on the blockchain.

At the end of 2018, I designed and created a zombie video game, integrating the concept of playing and drawing cards and packs. Within a pack were 3 NFTs with zombies on them. As a player, the more cards with zombies you collect, the higher your score, and the more tokens you can ultimately earn. From this game, I got connected to other game manufacturers and publishers who were also interested in creating virtual game assets through NFTs. We all had the same idea -- NFTs can bring more meaning and value to the players.

However at the time, many people in the market still believed that tokens and games were riddled with fraud. Since the lifecycle of video games can be short, many traditional gaming companies in the end didn’t find it worthwhile to learn how to integrate NFTs or blockchain into their games.

While the nature of NFTs hasn’t changed, the market has evolved. People’s curiosities are growing, more applications are being developed, and more creators are cropping up. I think now is the right time to start talking to companies about how to integrate NFTs or blockchain into their businesses or games.

#NFTplayground

I think there are many opportunities to start a business these days, and people who want to start one should think about coming to blockchain. Not only is there a huge opportunity but the possibilities are endless. And within blockchain, NFTs currently offer the biggest opportunity. However, it can also pose a new challenge to the team’s endurance, because while easy to obtain traction and users with NFTs, the challenge lies in retaining them.

Similar to other blockchain applications in the past few years, when a new concept is invented, it’ll be flushed with many early users. However, because the surrounding infrastructure wasn’t in place, it was difficult for founders to make valuable extensions or applications. And many of these users don’t actually care about these blockchain products and they are only trying to leverage the ecosystem to make a quick buck. Once they earn all that they can, they will move on to another project.

Right now working on NFTs, you can collect a lot of data in a short amount of time and also make some income to keep you afloat. Founders should seize this opportunity to understand these users, then modify and optimize both their products and mentality to retain them.

Since there’s no geographical restriction on blockchain, I would encourage founders to look beyond your country and region in expanding your NFT products. Also, since blockchain is closely related to finance, if you don’t have a good pricing strategy (or token economics) for your NFT products, the prices might fluctuate greatly. You need to be prepared and remind your users of the risks, otherwise you’ll ultimately get scolded!!

#NFTera

This year, I finally consider myself an official NFT collector. I pay special attention to NFTs with contemporary significance, such as Hashmasks. It signals to the public that NFTs are not just for collecting but that game mechanics can also be applied to interact with users. If we look back ten years from now I’m confident to say that the project that really brought the NFT wave in 2021 would be Hashmasks.

In addition to veteran projects like Hashmasks, other collections I care a lot about are related to Metaverse, such as The Sandbox. I believe that the world will become more and more decentralized and virtual. It is very likely that the next generation will be immersed in a virtual world like Ready Player One, so I am also very optimistic about NFTs in digital worlds like The Sandbox.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to NFTs. Right now, few NFTs are connected with our daily lives. For example, I bought a Hashmask. If I want to show it in my apartment, I might still need to print it out. In the future, how will we connect NFTs to the physical world? I believe they can be applied in many ways, including frames, wallets, cars, house deeds, leases, etc. These products in daily life can be combined with NFTs. We just haven’t opened our imagination yet. It’s hard to imagine that only 20 years ago we were having a hard time believing in the power of the internet.

The development of science and technology not only relies on infrastructure, but also the user's learning curve. The world needs to talk about blockchain more, so that everyone will gradually become familiar with it and it’ll continue to evolve.

Interview with A Founder: Edwin Wong (Co-founder of Cloudbreakr - 亞洲網紅行銷平台)

By Ching Tseng (AppWorks Associate)

Edwin Wong is the founder & CEO of Cloudbreakr - an AI-powered influencer marketing platform in Asia. He has focused on influencer marketing & social analytics for years, with an aim to empower pioneers and brands to share the stories that influence people. The company has expanded its services from Hong Kong to Taiwan, Malaysia, and Thailand, servicing over 10,000 marketers in over 6 GSEA countries.

1. What is the best advice you would give to first-time founders? What is the most important question that you can ask yourself?

You need to have a strong belief in what you are doing. Before getting good traction, people will keep questioning you why you are doing this. If you don’t have a strong belief in what you are working on, you might give up easily. On top of that, I always ask myself how to be a better founder all the time because founders are the people who have the deepest impact on the company. Your management style and your ability matters. If founders can’t strive to improve themselves, then the company won’t be able to grow as well.

2. What experience made you the founder you are? And what motivates you?

In the early days of Cloudbreakr, I’m the only full time founder, and the team didn’t have a strong engineering ability. With limited work experience, I wasn’t good at arranging tasks which made our development progress sluggish; in the end, two of my co-founders jumped the boat earlier than I expected. At that moment, I realized that I might fail this startup if I kept on managing the company like this, so that’s probably the moment I became the most determined to take this company to an impactful level. Also, I’m not the type of person who gives up easily, I don’t want to let my friends and family down because they have been supporting us this whole time. All of these are what motivate me everyday.

3. What is the biggest mistake and takeaway in your founder journey?

I don’t like to fight with others; I tend to compromise. For example, when negotiating salaries with our employees, I used to accept all the requests just because I didn’t want them to leave or make me unhappy. I didn't take the company’s long term benefit into consideration when making those decisions. Later on I realized this would do long term harm to the company. In order to urge myself to do more long term thinking, I asked my co-founders to give me direct feedback whenever I’m not dealing with things from a more rational perspective.

4. What have you learned in 2020?

It’s a tough year for everyone but also a great moment for the ones with a solid base to shine. How fast you can make the right decisions is a crucial ability in 2020. For example, it’s difficult to predict things and decide whether you should keep the project ongoing or not, and how to react to city lock-down while you still want to have a great momentum of business expansion. I learned to not drown myself in the daily tasks, but to make strategic decisions at the management level, after all, being able to identify the long term goal of the company is what a leader should strive for.

兩種版本不同的區別
"Grind Stormer"採用道具系統,玩家可以視情況取得所需的武裝道具
"V-Five"採用"宇宙巡航艦"的武器系統,獲得升級道具之後,依照想升級的武器做選擇

Grind Stormer is a 1993 vertically scrolling shooter arcade video game originally developed and published by Toaplan in Japan and North America. It is considered to be the spiritual successor to Slap Fight. Based around a video game within a video game concept, players assume the role of a young secret agent assigned by the government taking control of the NA-00 space fighter craft in an attempt to defeat the titular virtual reality simulator, rescue the abducted players who lost against it and unveil its true purpose.

Headed by DonPachi producer Kenichi Takano, Grind Stormer was created by a small development team of new employees at Toaplan who would later go on to work at one of its offshoots after the company declared bankruptcy in 1994 and was originally titled Bakuretsu Wing before being ultimately renamed to V・V in Japan. It is notable for marking the debut of Cave co-founder Tsuneki Ikeda in the video game industry, serving as one of its programmers and features a much smaller hitbox for the ship compared with previous shoot 'em up games released at the time. It is also notable for being one of the last games by Toaplan to feature an FM soundtrack, as the company began to clear out their FM chip inventory. Initially launched for the arcades, the game was later ported to the Sega Genesis by Tengen and first published in Japan on 25 March 1994 and a month later in North America, featuring both the original Japanese and North American versions as selectable gameplay modes.

Grind Stormer proved to be popular in arcades but the game has been met with mixed reception from critics and reviewers alike since its release on the Genesis, who felt divided in regards to several aspects such as the presentation, visuals, sound design and gameplay. It has been regarded by some to be an early example of a manic shooter. As of 2019, its rights are owned by Tatsujin, a company founded in 2017 by former Toaplan member Masahiro Yuge and now-affiliate of Japanese arcade manufacturer exA-Arcadia alongside many other Toaplan IPs.
