Gaming Blockchain Platform Stardust Raises $30M
Blockchain game development tools provider Stardust has recently raised $30M in a Series A funding round led by Framework Ventures.
Participants include Acrew Capital, Blockchain Capital and Distributed Global.
The company was founded back in 2018 by current CEO Canaan Linder. The idea for the startup came from the NFT game CryptoKitties. According to Linder, even with his experience as a programmer and developer, the project’s user interface proved to be “very complex”.
Stardust aims to facilitate the development of accessible blockchain-based virtual games like Solana and Polygon using cryptocurrencies and NFTs.
The company employs 40 people. From game developers, it charges a monthly subscription fee per gamer and a commission for network transactions.
