always been an incredible source of entertainment, a way to bring joy to people's lives and now it will also be a means to provide brand new economic opportunities to the world. With Polygon, we are going to bring the rush gaming universe on-chain in 2022 on top of the vast and vibrant ethereum ecosystem to deliver on this vision," said Kavin Bharti Mittal, founder and CEO of Hike.

RGU has managed to build one of the largest gaming ecosystems in India. The Rush app is the first of three pillars of RGU and in 2022, Hike is excited to double down and build a decentralized global gaming ecosystem.
