Gamepad recently had another seed round to secure more funding for their project in which they raised 2.5 million dollars and closed the round at a valuation of 25 million dollars. Two big names in the blockchain industry led the way in funding the gamepad project and their quest to disrupt the gaming industry. These companies are OKX Blockdream Ventures and Enjin.
The gamepad project is a next-generation decentralized accelerator for the metaverse era. It will provide a platform for the launching of GameFi and metaverse projects. This platform selects, nurtures, and then helps accelerate the top gamefi, guilds, and metaverse projects.
They aim to be the Ycombinator of GameFi and metaverse projects to help these projects have a good platform for funding their startup. The people at Enjin and OKX Blockdream Ventures share the vision of Gamepad and see the potential of their project hence, the big investment.
About Enjin

The project which was built on the Polkadot Blockchain is designed to serve as an infrastructure for making the Metaverse accessible, infinitely scalable, and decentralized.
They also have another crypto project – Enjin coin which is used to infuse NFT assets. Referred to as the gold standard for digital assets, Enjin coin is a cryptocurrency built on the Ethereum Blockchain and is used to back the value of digital assets which can increase the confidence of owners in their assets and the projects that put forward these assets. NFTs that has been backed with Enjin coin can be melted back into Enjin coin whenever you want.

Their commitment to supporting the expansion of the Blockchain ecosystem and helping in the process of bringing the goal of decentralization into reality has led to their partnership with gamepad – a platform that has similar goals.
