Daily Insights: Updates on Crypto, Blockchain, NFTs, Web3, and Play-to-Earn Gaming

Together with Immutable, Eyeball Games was able to get $1.5 million in pre-seed funding for the development of the NFT-based game Eyeball Pool. White Star Capital led the fundraising round, which also included Polygon Ventures, Ocular, Great South Gate Ventures, and well-known angel investors. White Star Capital put money into the round from its Digital Asset Fund, which is backed by Ubisoft. Eyeball Pool was made by the same people who made the popular mobile game 8 Ball Pool. It aims to bring pool games into the 21st century with Web3 features and full asset ownership. The game will come out in a few months, but only NFT owners will be able to take part in a closed beta test before the official mobile launch in the first quarter of 2024.
