Congratulations! I think you will do a great job. Your heart is in the right place.
Initially my focus will clearly be on the attraction and retention of new players
This is exactly what we need to see at the moment. Most of our current issues will be fixed if we simply had more active users. I have seen that the conversion rate from signups to Spellbook has almost tripled over the last year. We are on the right track.
INLEO is developing more ways to onboard users and eventually they will be made open source. Combine that with what Leo Merchants can offer (a protocol that use HIVE-Engine, @mayaprotocol and later THORChain, Chainflip and Rango to act as a cross chain DEX) it is possible to create a smooth user experience from signups to spending what they earn.
Best of Luck!
