“1st Anniversary” — A Letter To REDC Community From RedChillies Labs Team
--
It is an absolute pleasure to write this 1st Anniversary letter to our REDC Community. In 2021, we built the foundation of RedChillies Labs together, we saw tremendous support and growth of the community, we made some top-level partnerships, we expanded our core team, and we contributed whole-heartedly to the decentralization of the gaming industry.
In this 1 year run, RedChillies Labs grew from 3 people to 7; we inked a collaboration with UFF Sports, ZilChess, and Review Capital; we got full support from ZilHive, IgniteDAO, Zilswap, and Zilliqa; our Telegram/Twitter community has been awesome. And we would like to thank all of you for everything.
Now we are extremely delighted to announce our PLAY token as Reserve Currency of the ZilChill platform. While REDC token stays as governance token and gets utilized for creating or hosting markets or games, ZilChill will operate with the denomination of PLAY token in its reserve accepting zWBTC, zETH, zUSDT, and ZIL for all games.
We are proud to say that ZilChill now accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Zilliqa for gaming.
We would like to take this occasion to announce our “PredictionDEX” and “GameFi” platform for 2022 integrated into ZilChill v3.0. We will bring Ludo Dice, UFF Sports, Game Collectibles, and Fantasy Game Markets next.
Thank you,
RedChillies Labs Core Team

The Present: Persistence is the key. HODL
In this magnificent journey of 1 year, we have learned to remain persistent. Without any doubt, we went through many lows. But we HODL strong on our belief in building a permissionless, open, and decentralized world. We have now focused ourselves on 3 major domains to build open and decentralized Gaming, News Industry, and Finance.

| Native | Gaming | REDC, PLAY | ZilChill |
| | Finance | n/a | LenDen | | Collab | News/Media | RECAP, NEWS | ReviewCapital |

Excerpt from PLAY whitepaper:
The future of our financial world is multi-token. A single token can not fulfill the demand and sentiments of everyone. Based on different communities, based on different use cases, based on different emotions and based on different influences, there will exist many tokens. This is the world we are heading towards. While we tirelessly advocate for an open, permissionless and borderless gaming platform, we are moving forward to bring Zilliqa, Bitcoin, Ethereum and more communities together. Hence, we are proposing to upgrade ZilChill Gaming Platform by integrating a “Reserve Currency” into its gaming core so that users will be able to play games with tokens they already have, without any hassle.
RedChillies Labs will forever stand for building an open, decentralized, and permissionless world. We are not here for a business. We are here for a revolution.
To sum up, we are all in. The game is on. Let’s PLAY.
