Voya Games, a web3 games founded by industry veterans, has raised $ 5 million in an initial financing round led by 1KX and manufacturers to support their mission of building a network of interconnected players’ economies of players. The round also saw the participation of Rockaway and prominent Angels, including Jeff “Jihoz” Zirlin, co -founder of Sky Mavis (Axie Infinity) and Sébastien Burget, co -founder of the sandbox.
The new capital will be used to climb the world of crafts, Voya’s debut game, and develop even more a broader ecosystem of unified games by an asset and shared economy model based on the Dyno currency utility token.
Craft World, currently in its Testnet phase, has already attracted more than 240,000 registered users and sees 50,000 monthly active players. Located in a posthuman world where dinosaurs reconstruct civilization, informal resource management set integrates NFTs and commercial mechanics in the chain without compromising accessibility. It is available on iOS, Android and Web as a free experience. During the tests, the game has seen more than 1.1 million chain trades, an early traction signal within the web 3 games.
“Our goal is to build a Token ecosystem where games are connected through an economy and culture of shared players. The artisanal world is our first step in that vision,” said Oliver Löffler, CEO and founder of Voya Games.
Löffler is no stranger to the success of the games. Before founding Voya in 2023, Kolibri Games co -founded, the developer behind Iprimo Miner Tycoon, who exceeded 100 million downloads and was acquired by Ubisoft in a nine -digit agreement. Cofundadores Florian Dreschner and Dino Erdmann, who provide experience in Backend Architecture, Game Design and User Participation.
Web3 Gaming has been struggling to balance the growth of users with Blockchain complexity. The Voya Games approach, which covers the funny game of the first to the avant -garde, while gradually introducing players to the property of assets, has received praise from investors.
“I am Games not only understands the true potential of cryptography, but is executing it in a way that aligns with the way we see the space evolving,” said Peter Pan, a 1KX partner. “They are treating game ecosystems as open networks instead of walled gardens.”
Andrew Willson, from the Makers Fund added: “Craft World demonstrates the power to combine a family game with web3 mechanics. The team’s capacity to incorporate more than one hundred thousand players during the tests says a lot about its design and scalability centered on the user.”
From now on, Voya has launched two NFT collections integrated into the Craft World game loop, serving for cosmetics and functional purposes. With the complete Craft World launch scheduled by the end of this year, the study is preparing to connect multiple games through Dyno Coin, creating a composite game ecosystem where users can retain and use assets between experiences.
The financing occurs at a time when the risk investment in web3 games remains cautious but opportunistic. Although the general financing in the sector decreased in early 2025 due to the broader macroeconomic hardening, the outstanding equipment with proven stories and the real participation of the user continue to attract attention.
With Craft World as its foundation and a web3 modular architecture, Voya Games aims to build a universe of several games in which digital property and players participate the economy of the game, a model that could help remodel how the value is distributed in the game industry.
