million in a funding round led by prominent venture capital firms and influential founders
from the gaming and Web3 industries. The company plans to utilize the funds to further expand
its gaming ecosystem, which has already attracted an impressive 15 million users within its first
month of operation. The funding round saw participation from notable investors such
as Delphi Ventures, Merit Circle, Mechanism Capital, Bitscale Capital, Goff Capital, Big Brain Holdings,
Liquid X, and Foresight Ventures. Additionally, angel investors, including Sabastien Borgat,

to the round. Pixelverse's rapid growth and success in the Web3 gaming landscape have
positioned the company as a pioneer in the industry. With its Quest-based cyberpunk browser

daily active users. The platform's unique approach to gaming has the potential to bridge the gap
between Web2 and Web3, making it a strong contender to become the
first platform to transition 100 million Web2 gamers to its Web3 ecosystem. Corey Leon, COO
of Pixelverse and former Binance listing team member, expressed enthusiasm about the company's
achievements, stating, Never in my time at Binance did I see a company with such strong adoption
metrics in such a short space of time.
Leon further emphasized the significance of closing this funding ground, as it will enable Pixelverse to expand its adoption strategy and continue its journey to become a leading gaming
and entertainment hub globally. Piers Kix, founding partner of Delphi Ventures, commended

audience into their ecosystem. Kix expressed excitement about the team's ability to deliver on their ambitious
roadmap this year, taking into account market trends and community feedback. Pixelverse's
innovative tap-to-earn model has been a key factor in its success, rewarding regular engagement with
fun Web3 games and mini-apps. The company operates at the intersection of GameFI and SocialFI,
with its tab-to-earn format earning it the nickname, the NotCoin of gaming.
The platform's telegrammany app, PixelTab, sees more than 10 million battles waged daily,
showcasing the high level of user engagement. Final thoughts
Pixelverse plans to expand its browser-based realm to encompass a universe
filled with multiple minigames and immersive storytelling. The company hastenboarded a
world-renowned art director and world builder to help bring this vision to life, with further
details to be announced in the near future. As Pixelverse continues to grow and attract a diverse
user base, it is well-positioned to become a major player in the Web3 gaming industry.

users to the benefits of Web3 technology sets it apart from its competitors.
