Game7 describes itself as a web gaming-focused decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). The Game7 DAO’s treasury includes $500 million committed by the high-profile decentralized autonomous organization BitDAO and blockchain game platform Forte.
The grants will be deployed over five years at $20 million per year to projects across five categories, technology, events, diversity, education, and research. The cross-chain program has support from the Polygon, Solana, Immutable, and Arbitrum blockchain ecosystems with plans for further expansion over the coming months.
Game7 core contributor Ronen Kirsh stated:
“Improving smart contract standards, tooling, interoperable wallets, and scaling solutions will be crucial on the path to global adoption of Web3 games. We have allocated 20% of our committed treasury to fund each of these crucial components so the gaming industry can focus on building sustainable game economies.”
Over a period of two weeks, around one hundred and fifty teams joined the program. After a rigorous selection process, nine teams were selected as winners. These nine teams cover mainly gaming, infrastructure, lifestyle, and DeFi sectors.
Ancient8 is building a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) and infrastructure layer for GameFi with a focus on community and software platforms. As one of Vietnam’s largest blockchain gaming guilds, Ancient8 enables individuals to build and play in the Metaverse through scholarship, education, community, institutional-grade research, and blockchain software products.

The new foundation includes a group of advisors from across the blockchain, gaming, and entertainment industries: Animoca Brands Chairman Yat Siu, Polygon Studios president Ryan Wyatt, 100 Thieves’ chief product officer Pete Hawley and others.
John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games, says The Mythos Foundation will apparently initially focus on five key areas of development, including cross-chain infrastructure, the evolution of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and game economies, support for gaming guilds, growing traditional esports participation in web3, and collaborating with traditional gaming platforms to craft new policies for gamers at large.
Lastly, it will also manage the operations of the Mythos DAO, a newly formed decentralized autonomous organization that will provide its players with a voice in its ecosystem development.
Dove Metrics tracks crypto-funding rounds and the investments of venture capital firms, hedge funds, and investment decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). The company was founded by Regan Bozman and Pierre Chuzeville, who also led the early-stage crypto VC fund Lattice.
Ryan Selkis said the acquisition of Dove Metrics will hopefully “enable Messari to offer new datasets and tools that further allow our users to stay on top of industry trends and monitor, in real-time, the top projects and technologies that investors are backing”.
Mighty Bear Games builds next-generation mobile-first games. Along with the raise they also just announced a new web3 game called Mighty Action Heroes. The game will be powered by polygon and will receive support from Polygon Studios in form of funding, marketing, technical advice, strategy, and ecosystem basis.
Mighty Action Heroes is described as a multiplayer third-person battle royale that “puts an emphasis on fun, skill, and chaos”. Mighty Bear Games are planning to release an NFT PFP collection. Each NFT will offer players utility within the game. Each PFP holder will gain early access to the game during the Early Access Preview and be able to give feedback and stay involved throughout development. PFP holders will also be able to collect in-game rewards and cosmetic items when the game releases in late 2022.

The Star Atlas Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) will enable players and other stakeholders to vote on governance issues for the game.

Michael Wagner, CEO of ATMTA (lead developer of Star Atlas), said they are also launching a gaming-focused Galactic Marketplace for buying and selling gaming NFTs.
