Monoverse, a blockchain gaming company and developer of play-to-earn NFT game Frutti Dino, secures a $3.1 million investment from Korea Real Estate Investment and Trust (KOREIT). The investment is based on Monoverse’s long-established blockchain expertise and showcases KOREIT’s faith in its disruptive potential in the larger gaming industry through both games and game platforms.

This funding enables Monoverse to keep expanding into the blockchain gaming space, with the focus on enhancing Frutti Dino. Monoverse is also developing Entropy, a platform that allows any game developer studio to easily migrate their games to an Entropy sidechain and join its larger ecosystem. Entropy unlocks decentralization benefits to traditional gaming projects by removing their need to create their own sidechain.

Monoverse also announces its collaboration with Gametopia, a digital game development studio and subsidiary of Taiwanese game development and publishing company Chinese Gamer. Monoverse will enable Gametopia to move its games to the Entropy blockchain and incorporate tokenomics and NFTs into their design, giving players ownership of their digital assets.

Monoverse plans to use Entropy to onboard third-party games, both traditional and NFT-based, including Frutti Dino, onto its sidechain. The Entropy sidechain features low gas fees and high transaction processing speed, offering developers tangible advantages over Ethereum and other popular layer-1 chains. Entropy promotes more widespread adoption of blockchain-based gaming by removing technological entry barriers and easing games’ move from the traditional model into GameFi.

The investment round and collaboration continue Monoverse’s hot streak, following the successful launch of Frutti Dino NFTs on Binance. In the meantime, the Frutti Dino community has grown to over 100 thousand participants worldwide. The team continues to expand and polish off the Frutti Dino content, prioritizing both its gameplay and tokenomics.

“We are thrilled to continue developing blockchain and advanced games at the cutting edge of technology with support from Korea Real Estate Investment and Trust,” says Jayden Lee, CEO of Monoverse. “We are grateful to our community for the continued outpour of support, and we’re certain this funding round will kick our growth into a whole new gear.”

“As an expert in the growing blockchain and NFT game industry, Monoverse is well-equipped to make waves in this competitive global market,” says a representative of Korea Real Estate Investment and Trust. “We are happy to set the stage for Monoverse to grow and will actively support the project to help it sustain its success.”

DeGaming has launched a Web3 iGaming platform and appointed Ulle Skottling as CEO, with the company positioning on-chain operations as a way to improve transparency across operators, affiliates and players.

The platform’s core product pitch is its proprietary “Glass Vault” technology, which DeGaming says provides real-time proof of funds and independently verifiable visibility of balances, transactions, and payouts.

DeGaming is also offering “Bankroll as a service,” routing transactions through its on-chain transaction engine to provide operators access to scalable liquidity for withdrawals and platform stability. The company said this is designed to reduce friction for operators trying to scale, while giving players visibility into the funds available on the platform.

The supplier said its unified platform combines game access, player account management (PAM) and reporting in a single blockchain-native operational engine. DeGaming added that operators can launch a customisable casino or sportsbook in “as little as two weeks,” including crypto and fiat deposits, automated payouts and a back-office.

Skottling joins as CEO to lead what DeGaming called its next phase. He has held senior roles at RAW iGaming, Videoslots and NetEnt. Skottling said: “The industry has evolved rapidly, but transparency and trust have not kept pace. It runs on what you can’t see, whereas we have built a platform that you can. We are challenging the model and defining the new standard for gaming infrastructure.

“Our Glass Vault technology gives operators, affiliates and players independently verifiable visibility into platform activity and funds in real time. The future of gaming will be built on openness, accountability and infrastructure that all participants genuinely trust.”

Emil Ahmed, co-founder of DeGaming, added: “Appointing Ulle as CEO is an important step in DeGaming’s next phase. We have built the platform around a clear belief that gaming needs more transparency, stronger infrastructure, and greater operational trust. Ulle brings the industry experience, commercial understanding, and leadership needed to take that vision to market and help operators launch with confidence.”
