UAE Venture Capital firm, Quantix Capital has invested one million dollars in Tezos, through its Singapore adoption hub TZ APAC, with the aim of boosting blockchain gaming innovation on the Tezos platform.
As per the press release, the global blockchain gaming market was valued at $128.62 billion in 2022. By 2030, it’s expected to skyrocket to $614.91 billion, growing at 21.8%.
Blockchain technology allows players to gain true ownership of in-game assets, creating new economic opportunities for players around the world. At the core of this category are Play-to-Earn (P2E) games. These attract new players and provide additional revenue for developers. These games create a real-world use of gaming assets, allowing developers to earn royalties on secondary sales and greatly enhance the gaming ecosystem.
Jake Seltzer, Managing Director of Quantix Capital stated, “Tezos Web3 is uniquely positioned to lead innovation in this space.” He adds, ‘Our investment goes beyond financial backing; it’s a commitment to empowering the creators who are reshaping the future of games and interactive experiences.”
His counterpart, Jeremy Foo, Head of Gaming at TZ APAC, shares this ambitious vision. With a focus on nurturing a fair and inclusive gaming ecosystem, they are paving the way for a new era of gaming that goes beyond mere entertainment.
Eco-Friendly and Efficient Tezos operates on an eco-friendly Proof-of-Stake (PoS) model, slashing energy consumption compared to traditional blockchains. In an era where sustainability is a hot topic, this approach resonates with developers and eco-conscious gamers.
With Quantix Capital’s backing, the Tezos blockchain is set to welcome a wave of pioneering gaming projects. Many projects using Tezos are already underway, spanning a variety of genres—from real-world economy and interactive role-playing games (RPGs) to co-op games.
