Saakuru Labs set for expansion in 2024
Along with the funding round, Saakuru Labs is set to see additional ecosystem expansion in 2024. More than 40 new projects are expected to go live this year with some of the most notable including PlayGround, the flagship gaming platform developed by Worlds Beyond, and Crypto Run, a Made by Apes game.
The ecosystem is also set to expand with a soccer betting game called Soccer Sage.
Finally, Worlds Beyond, a key player in the gaming sector and a participant in this funding round, has announced plans to launch three more games later in 2024.
The expansion will come at the tail of the already significant presence Saakuru Labs boasts across the GameFi sector as it boasts, for example, more than 430,000 wallets holding assets on its mainnet.
