Tevaera uses a game-IP-first approach, identifying and addressing challenges within the web3 gaming infrastructure. The platform has been in development over the past two years, which culminated in the company’s inaugural Web3 game “Teva Run” a year ago.
Since then, the Tevarea gaming ecosystem has grown rapidly attracting over 850,000 soulbound gamers from more than 100 countries, the company wrote in a blog post on Wednesday.
The game is powered by Guardian NFTs and is integrated with the platform’s comprehensive gaming marketplace, Teva Market.
Commenting on his company’s leading role in the fundraising, Jez Mohideen, CEO of Laser Digital, Nomura Group said in a statement: “Supporting Tevaera in its journey to unlock the next era of web3 games through a comprehensive, one-stop platform is an exciting opportunity. We are confident that this strategic investment will create new opportunities for ZK and on-chain powered gaming.”
Robin Babu and Gav Negi, co-founders of Tevaera echoed those remarks hailing the big support from the Tevaera community and its partners adding, “This funding not only validates our vision but also empowers us to set a new industry standard for building, launching, and playing multi-genre web3 games.”
Tevaera plans to use the fresh capital to expand its gaming ecosystem by building two new games. The company is also building a decentralised layer-3 chain on zkSync, as it paves the way for permissionless Web3 gaming.
