Blockcast is building a blockchain-based CDN that combines broadcast data-transfer techniques with Solana’s infrastructure to alleviate growing internet-traffic bottlenecks. The network is now running a six-month “Proof of Resources Epoch,” during which operators can launch lightweight Beacon nodes in Docker containers and earn rewards proportionate to uptime, outbound bandwidth, and hardware performance. High-performing node operators will receive special NFTs, while all participants accrue points that can later convert into a token drop at the project’s token-generation event (TGE). Node setup is intentionally lightweight, requiring only basic Linux hardware and a multicast-compatible IP for bonus points. A web dashboard lets operators register nodes, monitor health status, and track rewards, with the first connection test after six hours and initial payouts after 24 hours of continuous operation. To fund development, Blockcast has secured a $2.85 million seed round. No revenue or user figures have been disclosed, underscoring the project’s early-stage status.

Nirvana Labs offers Nirvana Cloud, a full‑stack bare‑metal cloud computing platform and web3-centric operating system designed to reduce cloud costs for blockchain workloads. Its product suite includes load-balanced RPC nodes, enterprise-grade dedicated nodes, a fully managed Kubernetes service, and an advanced cloud metrics dashboard tailored to web3 monitoring.

Customers include Chainlink, Goldsky, Thirdweb, BitGo, Pairpoint and multiple high-frequency traders, and Nirvana has been launching infrastructure with foundations such as Xai, Berachain, NEAR, and Ape Chain. Management (CEO Dan Burke; founder Devin Bandara) says revenue has grown 650% year-to-date. Nirvana is using new capital to expand its global bare-metal connectivity footprint and deepen product offerings to meet growing demand from web3 firms seeking alternatives to AWS and GCP. Nirvana Cloud (Nirvana Labs) offers a centralized, bare-metal cloud service optimized specifically for blockchain and Web3 workloads, reducing the virtualization layer to improve performance and cost-efficiency. The company dedicates individual servers to single clients rather than sharing hardware, aiming to maximize reliability for computation-heavy tasks like blockchain validation and smart contracts. Nirvana positions itself as an alternative to general-purpose providers such as AWS and Google Cloud by slimming middleman software and focusing hardware on blockchain needs. A company document cited by the article claims Nirvana Cloud can cost about 19.5% less than AWS and 26.91% less than Google Cloud Platform for a 2 vCPU / 8 GB RAM configuration. Nirvana counts blockchain platforms Chainlink and Avalanche among its clients. CEO Dan Burke has discussed the product and the company’s strategy publicly with Blockworks.

Bazooka Tango was founded in 2019 by Bo Daly and Stephan Sherman, veterans from AAA game development who previously created Vainglory at Super Evil Megacorp. The studio is developing Shardbound in collaboration with web3 publisher Immutable; the game blends TCG elements, tactical maneuvers on hex grids and digital collectibles. Key gameplay features include commanders moving across low/high ground, mana and health systems, a Super Meter, an alternate Victory Points win condition, and five distinct commander types. Bazooka Tango ran playtests with roughly 1,000 creators, logged about 10,000 hours watched and amassed over 50,000 pre-registrations. The company plans seasonal content, deck building, leaderboards and broader cross-platform support, with a public beta later this year and an official launch in 2024 on Steam, Epic, Apple and Google stores and eventual mobile. Bazooka Tango raised $5 million to fund Shardbound, grow its team of roughly a dozen people and advance three other in-development titles. Bazooka Tango was founded by Bo Daly and Stephan Sherman, the creators of Vainglory, and is led by gaming veterans with experience at Riot, Rockstar, EA, and NCSoft. The studio's first title, Vainglory All Stars, is a 3-vs-3 mobile multiplayer game built on the E.V.I.L. engine and uses a more cartoon-like, accessible art style. Bazooka Tango emphasizes a scientific, analytics-driven approach, heavily utilizing player behavioral data to drive design and polish features. The company plans to create original IP and a portfolio that mixes successful mobile genres, mobile adaptations of PC/console genres, cross-genre remixes, and ambitious genre-defining titles. The team is currently about 10 employees based in San Mateo, California and has leveraged Super Evil Megacorp's E.V.I.L. engine to accelerate development. Bazooka Tango has raised $2.5 million and says it will scale up over time as it takes on more projects.
