Acid Labs has secured $8 million in funding to expand its portfolio of web3 games on Telegram and other messaging platforms.
The investment, led by A16z Speedrun and NFX, with additional support from Fusion VC, will help the company refine its technology and reach a larger audience. Acid Labs aims to make blockchain gaming more accessible by integrating games directly into apps like Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp.
Bringing Blockchain Gaming to Messaging Apps
Acid Labs focuses on developing web3 games that are easy to access through messaging platforms. The company reduces onboarding friction by embedding games within chat applications and enhances engagement.
This approach allows players to experience blockchain-based gaming without downloading additional software or going through complicated registration processes.
The company’s goal is to make Web3 gaming more appealing to mainstream users by integrating blockchain features that improve gameplay rather than add unnecessary complexity. With social gaming on the rise, Acid Labs sees a growing demand for instant-play experiences that fit naturally into everyday conversations on popular messaging platforms.
The new funding will be used to develop more Telegram-native games while also expanding into platforms like Discord and WhatsApp. Acid Labs plans to refine its technology by incorporating AI and data analytics to improve game design, increase player retention, and boost engagement.
