anomaly has raised $1.45 million for an AI-driven Layer 3 Web3 gaming platform.
Anomaly unveiled its AI-powered Layer 3 gaming platform, which the corporate says
Telegram users with a novel “play-to-airdrop” mechanism.
In the most recent funding round, Anomaly was valued at $11.4 million after raising capital. It was led by Decasonic, with participation from Shima Capital, Round 13, Triptyq VC, BreakOrbit VC, Inferno Labs and a few business angels.
In addition, Zeneca, Web3 luminary and founding father of the 333 Club, has made a strategic investment supporting Anomaly's vision.
Anomaly's platform redefines the Web3 gaming landscape and integrates seamlessly with Telegram to supply easily accessible mini-games that require no prior crypto knowledge. This modern approach not only democratizes gaming but in addition enriches it with airdrops and a sturdy points system that consistently rewards users, the corporate said.
Long Do, CEO of Anomaly, said in a press release: “Legacy Web3 gaming institutions pose challenges for each developers and players on the subject of deploying and playing crypto games. This leads to a cumbersome process that typically requires technical knowledge and expertise. At Anomaly, we aim to attach with the community by delivering immersive social gaming experiences on widely used platforms that provide easy-to-play mini-games and easy reward mechanisms.”
Anomaly said it stands out with its AI-powered SDK that allows the rapid creation and deployment of mini-games on social media platforms like Telegram and Discord. The platform's advanced AI features include player model training, matchmaking, automated quest creation, and in-game asset generation that may transform the gaming experience.
Anomaly takes a strategic approach that leverages Arbitrum's Orbit for an ultra-fast gaming user experience, paired with Gelato's leading Web3 services for automated gameplay. This approach enables a zero gas fee environment and ensures fair play through on-chain randomness.
Additionally, Anomaly recently partnered with Socket Protocol and Blockscout and expanded its offerings to incorporate utilities corresponding to native account abstraction and chain abstraction.
Alex Wettermann, head of gaming at Shima Capital, said in a press release: “Anomaly is an AI gaming layer-3 app chain that integrates custom mini-games created by an AI engine directly into platforms like Telegram. The company goals to construct lightweight games that leverage crypto-relevant apps for distribution, DePIN architecture to administer and scale computing power, and crypto incentives to support bootstrapping and retention.”
He added: “In short, our investment in Anomaly is a bet that Telegram users might be brought on board as Web3 gamers and node operators/benefactors, that there may be an upcoming secondary market and gamification of nodes, that games might be used to retain users running nodes in Telegram, and that there’s a serial cryptocurrency founder who has proven time and time again how you can deliver with speed to fill gaps available in the market.”
Under Long’s leadership, Anomaly has entered into several IP partnerships with respected brands corresponding to Atari,
which indicates a sturdy expansion strategy. The company is prepared for a node sale and an ecosystem token
It will launch later this 12 months and guarantees to further cement its position within the Web3 gaming ecosystem.
“Anomaly stands out as an AI-powered SocialFi Layer 3 blockchain and we’re excited to steer this funding round. They provide game developers with a best-in-class solution for producing, publishing and user developing Web3 games. They are setting recent gameplay standards for social experiences and monetization. They are hard at work innovating for a decentralized infrastructure to align game developers with their players. Founded by an excellent team, this investment demonstrates our belief of their potential to not only lead but transform the way in which games are developed and experienced worldwide,” said Paul Hsu, founder and CEO of Decasonic, in a press release.
