Following its soft launch and initial NFT sale, BoomLand has reported a successful $1 million pre-seed round of funding. Polygon, Game7, Magic Eden, Hyperithm, and a number of private investors took part in the round. 

Speaking on the round, Steven Chen from Game7 commented: “We are very excited to be working with BoomLand in its mission to introduce traditional gamers into the world of Web3 gaming. The team’s previous successes with their Web2 titles gives us confidence in their ability to design games with a ‘player-first’ mentality and attract the right audience, and we look forward to seeing their development.” 

Following this stamp of approval from some of the most respected names in the space, the project has seen a significant level of interest in its next seed round, due to commence imminently.

Following the successful round, Hannibal Soares, BoomLand’s CEO, said:

“Closing our $1-million pre-seed round is an exhilarating moment in our journey. I’m immensely grateful for the unwavering support we’ve received, especially during the tumultuous times in the blockchain space. With the backing of exceptional investors, we’ve overcome challenges and emerged stronger than ever. Our launch represents the culmination of our team’s tireless efforts, bringing together our passion for gaming and the boundless potential of blockchain.”

BoomLand made headlines in March of this year with its soft launch and Hunters On-Chain kickoff tournament, achieving over 134,000 unique active wallets in just over a week. 

According to DappRadar, the launch had such an impact on the blockchain gaming industry that it directly contributed to Polygon becoming the second-largest gaming chain.

With a team of industry veterans with over 200 published games and 1.5 billion downloads under its belt, BoomLand strives to raise the quality of blockchain gaming by bringing best practices from traditional gaming to the space. Its first example in how to develop and publish quality mobile blockchain games comes in the form of Hunters On-Chain, which is the blockchain spin-off of the critically-acclaimed, mid-core action RPG game Hunt Royale.

Hunters On-Chain’s playable Non-fungible tokens, their  “Hunters,” have seen consistent success in the marketplace since the first mint, which took place in January of this year and have reached a total trade volume of 131 ETH.

The Hunters allow players to earn the in-game token $BGEM, which can be used to open boxes that contain various additional NFTs, upgrade their Hunters, and more.

With several game modes ranging from PvE to PvP, various special LiveOps events, and free Hunter NFTs available to all players, Hunters On-Chain is aiming to be the entry point for anyone interested in blockchain gaming.
