The ever expanding metaverse is impossible to ignore. Some of the largest companies and funds in the world have bought into the hype, bringing a cascade of low-effort, cash-grab metaverse projects coming to market. Following the launch of already well-established, blue-chip metaverse projects such as Decentraland, Sandbox, and Yuga Lab’s new “Otherside,” it’s becoming increasingly difficult to justify investments in smaller competitors with less backing, less funds, and no first mover’s advantage. We believe that investing in the foundational and generational layer of the metaverse is a smart way of hedging our exposure in the industry. By backing the leading creator-tool and infrastructure providers we can foster development on technology that can be applied both inside and outside of the metaverse space. With that said, we are incredibly proud to announce Arcanum Ventures’ seed round investment in MetaENGINE.

Why We Believe in metaENGINE

Arcanum Ventures investment in metaENGINE is a decision made in an effort to back the teams and technological advances that are bringing about a more decentralized future.  metaEngine has developed an all encompassing game-development ecosystem for a B2B approach aimed at the GameFi industry. Their innovative platform allows collaboration from a limitless number of developers working simultaneously in the same virtual environment, offering massive benefits over existing industry standards.. Onboarding and training time is negligible as Unity and Unreal developers will recognize familiar tool sets and standardized processes for design element integration. metaENGINE offers cloud development of Massive Multiplayer Online (MMO) environments in a streamlined interface, reducing development time by 50%. Additionally, their suite of blockchain tools are all battle-tested and available, allowing easy integration of decentralized wallets, NFT creator tools, digital asset marketplaces, and DAO tools into your metaverse. metaENGINE is driven by a goal-oriented and focused founding team, led by its co-founders Alex Shalash and Antoine Castel. Their vision stems from years of experience in the gaming industry and a desire to bring their proven development tools into the blockchain space. The end result is a full-stream service built for game developers seeking a better solution.

Co-Founder Alex Shalash commented:

“We’re excited to have Arcanum as our investor and to collaborate on creating opportunities in the nascent GameFi and Metaverse space. We believe these games are key catalysts for a broader adoption of Web 3.0. The metaENGINE platform is perfectly positioned to provide the necessary tools to developers to create massively scalable games, bring millions of traditional gamers into GameFi, and offer interactive real-time multiplayer games to existing GameFi players.”

Arcanum Ventures believes that teams developing the best toolkits to support the growing demographic of metaverse projects will dominate the Web3 space for years to come. With MetaENGINE’s one of a kind game design platform, it’s never been easier for talented developers and creative minds to build comprehensive worlds in real time with team members from all around the world simultaneously.
