First, What is Apeiron?
Apeiron is hailed as the world's pioneering NFT-based god game running on the Ronin blockchain. Combining rogue-lite dungeon card-battler elements with god game simulation, Apeiron draws inspiration from classics like Populous and Black & White.
Developed by a 60-strong team based in Hong Kong, Apeiron garnered one of web3's largest single-game seed fundings, backed by investors such as Hashed, IVC, Morningstar Ventures, Spartan Group, and DeFiance. To date, Apeiron has raised $24 million, including a recent $13.5 million seed round.
