Gaming platform MonkeyBall has confirmed the conclusion of its recent funding round, during which it managed to raise over $3 million. A fast-paced, play-to-earn arcade soccer game, MonkeyBall has players compete in games featuring teams of larger-than-life monkeys. Tokens are rewarded for each victory, and there are additional earning opportunities for those who buy stadiums and host matches.
“As an early-stage investor in some of the most successful mobile/casual gaming start-ups in the world, we at NFX have been looking at the booming play-to-earn market for a while now,” said Gigi Levi, General Partner at NFX. “We believe that the space will only continue to grow and that the winners will be those teams that combine the best of blockchain know-how with amazing game design capabilities – that know how to utilize and unite the best of both blockchain and ‘traditional’ gaming sectors. MonkeyBall is the best one we’ve seen yet.”
Notable for its high production value and rich gaming experience, MonkeyBall is developed on the Unity game engine, meaning it can be deployed on both desktop and mobile. The colorful game is the brainchild of a team comprising veterans of both the crypto and gaming sectors.
Participants in the funding round included an assortment of high-profile firms such as Solana Capital, Republic, NFX, iAngels, Longhash, CMS, Jump Capital, Youbi, Morningstar Ventures, Banter Capital, Ascentive Assets, MarketAcross, Node Capital, ZBS Capital, Metaversal, Collider, BFF, and 6th Man Ventures.
