  Participated · Series A · Oct 2021

  DeHorizon is a metaverse game ecosystem led by gaming veterans and web3 experts that builds blockchain-based titles and NFT infrastructure. The company announced a strategic financing round led by Griffin Gaming Partners and Circle Ventures; the press release did not disclose the round size or instrument. This strategic round follows an $8.5 million Pre‑Series A in October 2021 led by Sfermion, Dragonfly Capital, and Everest Ventures Group. DeHorizon says the funding will help incubate a broader portfolio of games, expand the team, and iteratively grow the DeHorizon metaverse. Publicly announced titles include Team battle DeVerse, Battle royale DeTournament, and Dragon-racing DeMythical, with Effigy (a crowd‑sourced medieval fantasy) also in development. The company has launched DeMeta (an editable ERC‑721 NFT), debuted the Dr.De NFT on OpenSea (floor price 4 ETH at press time), begun an internal DeVerse test on Feb 22, 2022 with a 16,535,968 DVT prize pool, and announced partnerships with multiple crypto gaming guilds. DeHorizon Foundation is the team behind DeHorizon, a community-powered Game Metaverse focused on “Play for fun and to Earn.” Its flagship title, DeVerse, is described as the first blockchain-based MMO/RPG on DeHorizon, a high-fantasy action-adventure open-world where players mint NFT monsters, mine resources, undertake quests and tame creatures. The project emphasizes player control of assets, privacy information, and governance through a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). DeHorizon recently launched an interoperable, editable and evolvable ERC-721 DeMeta Pass ID NFT, with the first batch claimed in under 30 minutes. The organization plans to use new funding to accelerate DeVerse’s development and grow the team.

Its platform lets lenders send NFTs to a smart contract, set daily rental prices and maximum rental periods, while borrowers pay rental fees plus collateral returned on return of the asset. The protocol supports ERC-721 and ERC-1155 tokens and has been used to rent collections such as Stoner Cats and Animetas to grant temporary access to perks. ReNFT positions itself as a way for owners to monetize community and utility benefits without selling underlying NFTs. The team is working on expanding compatibility to Solana and Polygon and sees future use cases in the metaverse for renting play-to-earn items, IP and digital real estate. The company recently raised external capital in a seed round led by Animoca Brands.
