ChainCatcher news, blockchain game developer Curio announced the completion of a $2.9 million seed round financing, led by Bain Capital Crypto, with participation from TCG Crypto, Formless Capital, Smrti Lab, Robot Ventures, and several angel investors. The funds will primarily be used to expand the team, focusing on hiring blockchain engineers, microeconomists, game designers, and customer engineers.Curio will also seek to hire an art director and a community manager. Curio was founded in 2022 by engineers and gamers Kevin Zhang and Yijia Chen, and its on-chain games are entirely driven by smart contracts. This enables a new way of multiplayer computation, allowing all participants to contribute to a "shared universe," which the founders say allows the game to be almost entirely created by players. The company's first game, Treaty, is an on-chain strategy game where users can write and deploy smart contracts. (Source link)
