Twitch Co-Founder’s Gaming NFT Marketplace Raises $35M
Fractal, the gaming-focused non-fungible token (NFT) platform founded by Twitch co-founder Justin Kan, has raised $35 million.
Paradigm and Multicoin Capital led the seed round, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, Solana Labs, Animoca and Coinbase among others. Paradigm’s Matt Huang will also join the company’s board.
The platform launched to the public at the close of last year. The platform enables game companies to mint and drop gaming for fans. It also provides a secondary market for players to sell the NFTs to one another.
Fractal runs on the Solana blockchain and partnered with Solana-based games at launch. But Kan has said he’s betting the intersection of NFTs and gaming will expand with other game styles, like massively multiplayer online games.
Some gamers have pushed back on the use of NFTs in games
Still, venture capitalists have been injecting cash into blockchain-based gaming projects in the past year, and the space continues to grow.
The new funds will be used to hire additional engineers, as well as to recruit and support game developers. Part of the platform’s mission is to assist companies looking to include NFTs in their games with launches and community building.
