ArenaX Labs closed a $5 million seed funding round in 2021 that was led by Paradigm with participation from Framework Ventures. The funds have helped accelerate the development of AI Arena. AI Arena players own fighters via non-fungible tokens (NFT) which are embedded with artificial neural networks, enabling them to learn from humans and battle autonomously.

The game is a platform fighter like Super Smash Bros, but the characters are intelligent NFTs powered by AI. Individuals can train their NFT to become the ultimate fighter in the arena and compete in a global competition with web3 native rewards. Players do not need any AI background to play this game. It’s easy to pick up but very difficult to master.

AI Arena is a project at the intersection of many different domains including but not limited to: AI/ML, web3, NFTs, gaming, and education. While the core platform is focused on the game, the company aspires to a grander mission of democratizing AI.

The team is gearing up for big announcements about their beta testing and gameplay reveals. The Founders of ArenaX Labs are Brandon Da Silva, who is Co-Founder & CEO, and Wei Xie, who is Co-Founder & COO.
