Mahjong Meta, an on-chain web3 Riichi Mahjong esports gaming platform, announced its recent funding round, led by Dragonfly, a global crypto investment firm. The funding will fuel Mahjong Meta’s product development and web3 gaming ecosystem expansion, further enhancing the gaming experience for players and expanding its global reach.

Brice Vong, the founder of Mahjong Meta, expressed, “We are honored to have Dragonfly as our lead investor. Web3 and crypto are poised to revolutionize the gaming industry, creating a decentralized and innovative ecosystem that will pave the way for a global and immersive gaming experience. We share the same visionary outlook with Dragonfly for this promising future, and Dragonfly brings invaluable support and expertise to our journey.”

Mahjong Meta successfully launched its beta test on May 12th, delivering a pioneering web3 experience to mahjong enthusiasts. Over the course of two months, the open beta garnered significant attention, attracting more than 15,000 players who engaged in over 490,000 matches. Mahjong Meta attributes the performance of the beta to its integration of web3 ownership economics, innovative AI-based gameplay, and stylish graphic design.

In Mahjong Meta, players can not only participate in various matches such as Ranking, Tournaments, or Playgrounds with other real players, but can also deploy their pets, known as “Tama,” equipped with customized AI strategies for automatic mahjong battles. This feature was designed to greatly reduce the barrier for new mahjong players and web3 users, making the gaming experience more accessible and enjoyable.

Other participants in the round included Folius Ventures, Meteorite Labs, Find Satoshi Lab, Parallel Ventures and Emoote.
