Project Summary

Valere Labs developed a browser-based 2D play-to-earn (P2E) game MVP for a Solana-based gaming startup, using React for the frontend and MongoDB, Redis, Heroku, GitHub and TypeScript for backend and deployment. They produced detailed Figma UI mockups, implemented the MVP to support NFT characters as in-game assets, and delivered the initial release in a short timeline; the MVP was well received and the client continues working with Valere on additional features.

A project manager served as the primary point of contact and an onboarding officer supported coordination through the project.
