The main project of the studio is Blankos Block Party, an open-world multiplayer game. The latest funding will enable the team to expand into other gaming platforms and develop new projects.

This new capital will allow us to continue leading the industry into a new play-to-earn model where various stakeholders like players, artists, content creators, and brands are now directly influencing the game economics.”
