- Euphoria
Participated · Seed · Aug 2025
Euphoria is developing a consumer-oriented crypto derivatives platform that lets users trade options and perpetual contracts on MegaETH with a simple tap-based interface, removing the need to understand order books, margin, or leverage mechanics. Co-founded and led by CEO Nathan Worsley, the eight-person team is positioning the product as the Robinhood-style on-ramp for crypto derivatives, which represent roughly 80% of overall crypto exchange activity. Revenue will come from in-house market-making and trading fees, mirroring the model used by Hyperliquid. The company plans to launch its tap-trading product on MegaETH later this year and is considering a native token as part of its long-term roadmap. Future hiring includes three to five roles across engineering, product design, and growth. The latest funding places Euphoria’s post-money equity valuation in the “upper eight figures,” according to Worsley.
- Nyan Heroes
Participated · Equity · Mar 2024
9 Lives Interactive is a Singapore-based independent game developer founded in 2021. The studio is developing Nyan Heroes, a next-generation hero shooter with cat-inspired IP, eight guardian classes, mech combat, and objective-driven team play. The game leverages Unreal Engine 5 and blockchain to enable true asset ownership and support a creator economy. Nyan Heroes entered early access from March 26 to April 9, and the studio added airdrop missions granting community access to NYAN, the token that powers the ecosystem. 9 Lives raised a $3 million financing to accelerate development and broaden adoption of the title. The team includes veterans from EA, Bungie, and Ubisoft and advisors from Twitch and Riot Games who have shipped AAA multiplayer and live-service titles. Nyan Heroes is a Singapore-based studio developing a play-to-earn game on the Solana blockchain that features cute cats in deadly robots. The company says it will use new funding to hire more people and expand community outreach as it finalizes development. In May 2023 Nyan Heroes raised $7.5 million in a strategic round that values the company at $100 million. Investors in the round included Kosmos Ventures, Sino Global Capital, Shima Capital and Petrock Capital. The studio previously raised $2.5 million in a seed round in late 2021 led by Three Arrows Capital, Mechanism Capital and Defiance Capital. The team had expected the game to go live toward the end of 2022, and investors have emphasized the importance of 'sustainable P2E' in the space.
