# Who We Are Blade Games is an on-chain game studio and infrastructure provider, built around the WebAssembly and zkVM (zero knowledge virtual machine) tech stack. Games built with our ZK game engine can run their game logic in a zkVM, and settle game results by verifying the ZKP (zero knowledge proof) on L2s. Our journey started from late 2022 when the team was playing around the intersection of ZKPs and Gaming. We began by building a dungeon game with hidden information mechanism, then quickly tested a few other product ideas in early 2023. By the third quarter of 2023, we had formed a full-fledged team and raised our seed round at the beginning of 2024 co-led by PTC Crypto and IOSG Ventures. Our ZK game engine, zkUnity was then released in Q1 2024 with a growing ecosystem of 5 games. We also introduced the "Play-to-Mine" concept through the release of our core strategy game, *Dune Factory*. Our campaigns with Arbitrum, Mantle, 0G Labs, Delphinus Labs saw a total of 400,000 registered users and a great amount of incentives being distributed to our community. At this date, Blade Games is evolving into a game and AI agent ecosystem, where you can interact with our AI agent on social media, deploy different strategies via agents to play-and-mine, and even go cross-chain to use your existing game profiles to win extra mining incentives and seasonal rewards. Our new game will be released in early Q1 2025, please stay tuned! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
