Who’s Behind This Cash Injection?

Together, these venture firms are making it rain for ChainSafe to enhance the adoption and growth of Web3 technology.
A Trip Down Memory Lane: ChainSafe’s Origin Story
Cast your minds back to 2017. The ChainSafe founding members stumbled upon destiny at an Ethereum meetup in the vibrant city of Toronto. Fast forward a few months, fueled by coffee and innovation, they formed what we now know as a crucial player in blockchain infrastructure. Their forte? Multichain R&D and broader Web3 technologies—because why settle for just one chain when you can have them all?
Gaming Meets Blockchain: A Love Story
If you ever wondered what became of those cozy nights obsessively feeding your CryptoKitties, wonder no more. The allure between gaming and blockchain tech is evolving faster than a level 100 wizard. With blockchain games holding a market cap of around $25 billion at 2022’s dawn, they prove a formidable force, despite volatile crypto climates.
Venture Investment: Post-CryptoKitties Landscape
Don’t let recent crypto dips fool you—venture capitalists are champing at the bit for blockchain gaming. According to DappRadar, $1.3 billion poured into this buzzing sector in Q3 alone. Seems like everyone’s ready to get their GameFi action on!
The Future: 1 Billion Gamers and Growing
Estimates show blockchain gaming could see multibillion-dollar valuations in the near future, especially with a projected 1 billion online streamers by 2025. If you think Twitch is where it’s at today, wait till blockchain games put a twist on things.
