In Brief
Avalon raised $10 million in the latest funding round to advance the development of the Avalon ecosystem and launch the MMO online game.
Blockchain gaming studio Avalon announced it has raised $10 million in its latest funding round co-led by BITKRAFT Ventures and Hashed, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Foresight Ventures, Delphi Digital, Spirit DAO, Sanctor Capital, Dext Force Ventures, Follow the Seed, LVT Capital, Andromeda Capital, Focus Labs, Momentum 6, The Spartan Group, MH Ventures, Contango Digital Assets, GuildFi, BreederDAO, LiquidX, PG, and Mechanism Capital, among several notable individual backers.

The Avalon metaverse will integrate with an AI-powered user-generated content system, leveraging technologies such as Unreal Engine 5.

What is Avalon?
Avalon is an AI-powered universe that offers players an opportunity to explore, conquer dungeons, engage in custom games, discover rare loot, and construct new worlds for others to enjoy. It merges the intricacy of tabletop role-playing games with the expansive world of MMOs. Additionally, Avalon empowers players to craft their narratives. These narratives, shaped by players, integrate into the central game world, fostering a collective and dynamic universe.
Like well-known social platforms, creators in Avalon are encouraged to distribute their content to others. If the content proves engaging and players share it with their networks, creators receive rewards, enhancing their incentives and experiences.
Creators establish goals players must achieve to earn Avalon’s and NFTs within their realm. Upon completing these objectives, users receive tokens, with a portion of the reward taxed and allocated to the creator.
The game’s rulesets, fund allocation, and global variables are determined by its community members. Players own all assets and worlds, with Avalon authenticating ownership through the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).
