Investment portfolio

  • web3intelligence

    Participated · Equity · Jan 2024

    Web3Intelligence is the developer of Dopamine, a gamified investment app for the decentralized finance (DeFi) market. The company is preparing to launch a native utility token, DOPE, which will be used to access Dopamine features. DOPE is planned to be listed on popular centralized and decentralized exchanges in the first quarter. Institutions holding DOPE would gain access to Web3Intelligence's anti-money laundering (AML) infrastructure, which scores Web3 wallets for compliance and records those scores on-chain as NFTs. The company says this aggregated and standardized AML information provides a comprehensive view of wallets that meets standards expected by compliance officers and institutional users. Web3Intelligence raised funding ahead of the token rollout to support these product and compliance initiatives.

    Participated · Equity · Feb 2022

    ASPO World is an NFT-focused blockchain game that launched its Mainnet on February 22, 2022, and is optimized for Windows PC, MacOS, Android and iOS. The core product is a turn-based NFT card game in which players pick one of three classes (Hunter, Fighter or Witch), summon Spirits, and field a squad of 1 main champion plus 4 Spirits; a base lineup requires a minimum price of 400 ASPO Tokens and is purchasable on the project’s Marketplace. The team emphasizes play-to-earn mechanics while also investing heavily in visuals, plot and game logic to deliver tactical gameplay and entertainment. The development team has grown to about 40 people and includes members with more than 10 years of experience operating in markets such as Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and China. Technically, ASPO World focuses on its operating system platform and blockchain technology to improve transmission speeds, security and to reduce network congestion when player counts spike. The project reports strong token activity—CoinMarketCap recorded nearly $24 million in trading volume on the token’s first listing day—and ongoing roadmap and tokenomics commitments.

    Participated · Seed · Dec 2021

    BBS Network is a Singapore-based decentralized Web3 public network of user-run online message boards and a SocialFi project led by founder and CEO Eyal Hertzog. The platform mints every post into an NFT to enable value transfer and employs an NFT bidding model that lets anyone purchase the ad-space real estate of any post at transparent prices. BBS uses a native token to reward creators, curators and other stakeholders, and revenue generated by the platform is shared across ecosystem participants in a fully automated, transparent and market-driven manner. The company raised $1.5M in seed funding to support its development. The investment will enable BBS to focus on building and launching new features such as a native app, a search engine and cross-BBS authentication. Binance Labs led the round with participation from Digital Currency Group, Polychain Capital GPs, Node Capital, NFX and DAO Maker.
