Deadfellaz Welcomes 3 Official Advisors to DFZ Labs
The start of 2023 brings a new and exciting start for Deadfellaz, with a restructure and move from Australia to the US (specifically Los Angeles) where we will be operating under ‘DFZ Labs’. This strategic move positions Deadfellaz to take advantage of the unique benefits of LA’s burgeoning Web3 networks, expansive entertainment landscape and proximity to partners.
So, what exactly is DFZ Labs?
DFZ Labs will act as an umbrella to house the developments from Deadfellaz across Animation, Content Creation, Gaming, Music & Fashion.
‘DFZ’ will be our official term when referencing our entire ecosystem of PFP/Art Collections, IP partnerships & products.
We are excited and humbled to have three incredible advisors joining DFZ Labs, their support and guidance will prove integral to our evolving business model and scaling strategies.
