Formerly known as Polkastarter Gaming, GAM3S.GG has successfully closed a  $2 million seed funding round, led by Mechanism Capital and with the participation of other major venture and angel investors.

GAM3S.GG’s full investor list includes but is not limited to:

• Polygon
• ArkStream
• LD Capital
• Double Peak
• ROK Capital

Dubbed the “IGN for web3” by investors and partners, GAM3S.GG will use the capital injection to scale and grow its superapp which currently offers curated web3 gaming content, with 200+ games listed across 15 chains, and over 60,000+ registered gamers, positioning itself as the biggest hub for web3 gamers since its launch in November 2022.

“Web3 games are a uniquely difficult product to build, let alone the infrastructure surrounding and enabling it. This holds especially true for gaming hubs and aggregators.” said Ken, Partner at Mechanism Capital. “Finding the win will require teams to take us past the feature sets we have been stuck with for years, and the ability to understand incumbent playbooks and evolve them with aggressive experimentation. We see that here with this squad - now it’s just a matter of time for players to make their way to GAM3S.GG.”

GAM3S.GG’s ultimate vision is to accelerate the Web3-gaming vertical’s accrual of 100 million users. It intends to act as a trusted gateway, providing high quality content and platform features, for gamers bridging their way into the blockchain world.

"The gaming industry is at a crossroads; while web3 offers new exciting possibilities, the lack of quality content and a singular destination for all your web3 gaming needs has left many gamers lost,” said Omar Ghanem, Co-Founder & CEO at GAM3S.GG.

GAM3S.GG has already demonstrated traction, with thousands of gamers exploring its carefully curated content on innovative blockchain games since launch. GAM3S.GG further hosted the GAM3 Awards, which saw some 140,000 unique viewers cast more than 250,000 votes. Now, the platform aims to continue building advanced features to eliminate barriers to entry for blockchain games, including social logins, player-owned item management, progression rewards, retrospective in-game progress tracking, as well as directly playing web3 games on the platform.

"There's immense value in platforms that curate and guide, particularly at early stages in new niches, and while we've seen plenty of platforms & aggregators rise over the years, GAM3S.GG stands out as a beacon of innovation in web3 gaming,” said Shreyansh Singh, Head of Investments at Polygon. “We've worked closely with the team over the past 18 months and investing in them isn't just about backing a platform; it's about championing a vision where web3 gaming is accessible, quality games rise above the noise, and where gamers have a trusted compass in this new frontier.”

Traditional industry giants appear to be joining the blockchain gaming space at an increasing rate, and GAM3S.GG intends to serve as a gateway for any players looking to enjoy Web3-gaming and its ultimate potential.
