August 4, 2022 By Business Wire

VICTORIA, Seychelles--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On August 04, 2022, KuCoin Labs, the incubator and investment arm of the KuCoin ecosystem, announced that it led the seed round investment in PlayZap Games, a Singapore-based Web-3 Gaming platform. Other investors that had joined the round included Arcanum Capital, Oddiyanna Ventures & Prime Block Ventures.



PlayZap Games is a Play-to-Earn (P2E) community-driven gaming platform tailored for the mainstream player base, aiming to bring skill-based multiplayer competitive games that are fun, engaging, easy to learn, and hard to master. The entire platform is supported by a fungible token economy, NFTs and blockchain wallet technology, with all the live operations and publishing capabilities of the Web-3 market. PlayZap will release the first iteration of their app with over 10 of their competitive casual games on the App Store, GooglePlay, and web desktop platforms.

The seed round investment will primarily be used for the subsequent development of the gaming platform, the mobile and desktop version, for the expansion of new game IPs, new partner onboardings, and to stimulate broader marketing reach, as well as expand the project’s impact in the GameFi ecosystem.
