ZKcandy, a blockchain platform specializing in Web3 gaming, has secured $4 million in private funding from a consortium of high-profile investors. Key participants in the round include Wemix Pte. Ltd., Animoca Ventures, Spartan Group, and several others, such as Perlone Capital, Presto Labs, and Flowdesk. Angel investors and contributors from industry leaders like Stacks and Mittaria also joined the funding effort.
The announcement comes on the heels of ZKcandy’s open testnet launch, which recorded over 2.4 million wallets created in just two weeks. This rapid adoption reflects the platform's appeal among developers and players alike. Designed to integrate blockchain technology into gaming, ZKcandy is positioning itself as a hub for AAA game titles and intellectual properties aiming to leverage Web3 solutions.
With this funding, ZKcandy plans to advance several initiatives, including the creation of a Telegram-based EVM gaming ecosystem and the development of AI-driven gaming agents. The platform is also working with major intellectual property holders to accelerate blockchain adoption in gaming. A mainnet launch is slated for the first half of 2025, alongside an expanding pipeline of over 25 game titles in development, including a major Hollywood IP-based project.
