## About

Based in the US, Blade Games operates as a gaming company that focuses on developing on-chain gaming studios that develop games and infrastructure. In May 2024, Blade Games raised USD 2.4 million in seed funding, co-led by PTC Crypto and IOSG Ventures, with participation from Bonfire Union Ventures, Animoca Ventures, Mantle, ForesightX, Formless Capital, Public Works, Puzzle Ventures, and K300 Ventures.

Blade Games' flagship product, Dune Factory, is a base-building and tower defense game with a social twist. Players build factories on an alien planet, automate production, research advanced resources, and collaborate or compete with friends to create autonomous worlds. The game leverages technology, including settlement on any Layer 1 or Layer 2 blockchain, proof generation on various provers, and core game logic run in zkVMs, with direct support for Unity and Unreal engines.

The company plans to use its proceeds from May 2024 funding for the development of onchain games built on the WebAssembly and zkVM tech stacks.
