Record Growth and Mainstream Adoption

This funding round comes at a time of record growth for Pixelverse. The platform’s quest-based browser and Telegram games have amassed over 15 million registered users and more than 5 million daily active users.

With the goal of integrating 100 million Web2 gamers into its vast Web3 ecosystem, Pixelverse is becoming a trailblazer in the Web3 gaming landscape and achieving rapid mainstream adoption.

Kori Leon, COO of Pixelverse and former member of Binance’s Listing team emphasized the importance of this achievement, “Never in my time at Binance did I see a company with such strong adoption metrics in such a short space of time. Pixelverse is truly a game changer for Web3 adoption and it’s incredible to see not only the growth in our userbase but also the deep connections and interactions formed within the community.”

“The NotCoin of Gaming”

Operating at the intersection of GameFi and SocialFi, Pixelverse has pioneered Tap-to-Earn in Web3 gaming, rewarding regular engagement with games and mini apps. According to the funding announcement, its Tap-to-Earn format has earned it the nickname “the NotCoin of gaming.”

Piers Kicks, a founding partner at Delphi Ventures, revealed his belief in Pixelverse’s potential, saying, “The team has a finger on the pulse of the market, and we’re excited to see what this in conjunction with community feedback brings as they deliver on their ambitious roadmap this year.”

As the Pixelverse Universe continues to grow, a huge amount of daily battles, exceeding 10 million, take place daily on PixelTap – their Telegram mini app. And there’s more in store as the browser-based realm plans to expand even further, with an entire universe filled with various mini-games and storytelling. Finally, Pixelverese has hired a renowned art director and world builder whose expertise will be crucial in this expansion.
