Galaxy Interactive, Republic Crypto and Alameda Research are launching a consortium that will invest in blockchain-focused gaming studios and developers.
The consortium called NG+ will seek to fund experienced, traditional video-game developers and studios, and help them with token economics and liquidity as they create blockchain-based titles. The members will receive minority stakes in the efforts’ tokens, said Richard Kim, general partner at Galaxy Interactive, billionaire Mike Novogratz’s venture arm.
