The ‘Life Beyond’ team at Darewise Entertainment, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, recently raised $3.5 million in a token pre-sale. The announcement came on Tuesday, indicating the continued interest in metaverse development projects.
Darewise Entertainment CEO, Benjamin Charbit, expressed pleasure at securing funding from investors from across the gaming and Web3 culture. He views this as a significant show of confidence in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
‘Life Beyond’ is an open-world sci-fi game centered around building a new civilization. This is powered by NFTs and a tokenized digital economy. The Darewise token is expected to launch early next year, developed in collaboration with Horizon Labs, the team behind the Ethereum-based ApeCoin (APE) token.
Darewise Entertainment, launched in 2018, plans to build its metaverse ecosystem around Bitcoin Ordinals. This is a NFT-like protocol that allows users to “inscribe” images, text, and video games on the Bitcoin blockchain and create BRC-20 tokens.
The token sale saw participation from investors such as Gamefi Ventures, London Real Ventures, Citizen Capital, Blocore, and Animoca Ventures. This is all part of Darewise’s plan for its metaverse, which includes gaming and brand integrations, real-world experiences, and more. The Darewise token will serve as the universe’s native currency.
