Apeiron Secures 13.5M Seed Funding
Apeiron, part of a new wave of token-driven, play-and-earn NFT games, secures 13.5M Seed Funding led by Hashed.
South Korean blockchain investment firm Hashed, a core backer in the web3 space who has raised over $320M in the past 12 months, has led the way in investing in Apeiron, the hottest new blockchain game on the market. Developed by Foonie Magus, secures over 13.5M Seed Funding round for the new play-and-earn NFT god game Apeiron.
Hashed is a team of blockchain experts based in Seoul and the Silicon Valley. The firm has swiftly risen to become one of Asia’s most prominent blockchain investment firms and currently operates a $200M fund that backs projects with high potential. With roots in South Korea’s adoption of new technologies, in 2016, Hashed invested in Axie Infinity and The Sandbox, which have become two of the most successful NFT games.
Joseph Young, senior associate at Hashed said:
“At Hashed, we have supported innovative and creative founders in the metaverse and blockchain gaming sector since 2017, including the likes of Axie Infinity and Sandbox. We believe Apeiron’s game logic, virtual economy, and gameplay is amongst the most sophisticated in all of web 3, and are excited to back the Apeiron team to build an exciting and entertaining blockchain game that is both fun and incentivizing to play.”
Hashed is joined in their support of Apeiron by venture capital firms such as DeFiance Capital, Morningstar Ventures, Spartan Group, De-Fi Capital, and Infinity Ventures Crypto. They will be working together with gaming guilds Guildfi, YGGSEA, Avocado, Ancient8, SNACKCLUB, RankerDAO, and Polemos, who were handpicked for their strategic values and long-term vision for the web3 community and beyond.
Frank Cheng, LoreKeeper of Foonie Magus and Apeiron creator:
“We’ve spent six years now working on this project, and there have been over 28 developers who poured over five years of their lives…their blood, sweat, and tears into crafting this entertainment experience. But now all the hard work is being recognized and the dream is becoming a reality. We’re thrilled to have found partners like Hashed. Not only are they global leaders in tech investment, but also technological trailblazers — we’re inspired by their work, and with their support will push Apeiron to even greater heights!”
With the funds from the seed rounds, they will first and foremost be ramping up their talent and game development as they look towards their game release in Q4 this year.
