In a recent blog post, CEO of the nonfungible tokens (NFTs) gaming project Ragnarok, 0xfanfaron, apologized for the mistakes he made while running the company. Ragnarok is a crypto startup that held its first-ever NFT sale in April. This raised $15.5 million worth of Ether (ETH) for game development. 0xfanfaron, however, said:
“We exchanged the ETH from the mint for 15.5 million in USD Coin. As it turns out, this was a good move in treasury management. But when ETH’s price went down, I made mistakes by buying ETH multiple times when I thought it was an advantageous investment for the project.”
0xfanfaron went on to say that he sold the firm’s Ether positions through a series of trades with the plan to reinvest at a “better time.” Losses of $1,827,000,000 were made because of the business venture. During that time, Ragnarok also spent $1.9 million on outsourcing development work and $6.9 million on salaries and other payments to the team.

0xfanfaron promised that he would “make up for all trading losses in the Ragnarok treasury.” This will be done by giving back $600,000 from the sale of NFTs in payment for 163.8 Ether, cutting his NFT pay by $600,000, and taking a $200,000 pay cut for the next four months. Krimbo, another team member, also promised to give back $250,000 of his pay.
For more openness, 0xfanfaron published a list of wallets that will be used to make up for the trading losses of the company. To move forward, he said that the company still had more than $10 million in its bank account, and he said that investors wanted him to stay on as CEO. Ragnarok is planning to open its first game arcade in seven months.
