Web3 gaming studio N3twork has announced the appointment of Tinder's former chief product officer Josh Sell.

Web3 gaming studio N3twork announced over the weekend that, it had hired Tinder's former chief product officer Josh Sell. Josh Sell has now assumed the role of N3twork Studios' chief operating officer.

N3twork, which was spun off last year to create a blockchain-focused gaming business, is known within the blockchain ecosystem for its mobile RPG Legendary: Game of Heroes.

The company also is also developing two new RPGs — Legendary: Heroes Unchained and Triumph. Sell will be tasked with supporting N3twork's President, Matt Richetti, in running the studio’s day-to-day operations.

While commenting on his latest appointment, Sell said;

"The folks I met with prior to joining were all intrinsically motivated by consumer experience. Their views lined up perfectly with my own around how web3 can drive genuine and sustained player benefit."

The addition of Sell to the team is a huge one considering N3twork has also attracted developers from EA, Kabam, Zynga, Glu and Disney in recent months. 

N3twork Raises $46 Million In Series A

This latest development comes after N3twork raised $46 million in a Series A funding round in May last year. The funding round was led by Griffin Gaming Partners, alongside Kleiner Perkins, Galaxy Interactive, Floodgate, LLL Capital, N3twork Inc. (the parent company of N3twork Studios) and others.

Sell will have a chance to continue work in the web3 ecosystem after Tinder's parent company Match pulled back from web3-related activities following disappointing second-quarter earnings last year. The resignation of former CEO Renate Nyborg also halted web3 development plans for the company. The new CEO Bernard Kim added that the company had halted plans to release an in-app token called Tinder Coins for now.
