The round was led by Griffin Gaming Partners and included investment from the likes of Powerhouse Capital, former Disney CEO Michael Eisner and MLS franchise owners Steve Kaplan and Bennett Rosenthal.

“Web3 and blockchain technology brings new monetization and digital asset ownership to players, which we believe is one of the most important technical advancements in the history of games,” said Peter Levin, managing director of Griffin Gaming Partners.
