PathDAO is proud to announce the closure of our seed round from DeFiance Capital, Merit Circle, LVT Capital, Stakez Capital, Master Ventures and NewTribe Capital!

The goal of this round is to enable a long-term vision that will revolutionise the blockchain gaming space and bring fintech to the unbanked.

DeFiance is excited to back the capable hustlers at PathDAO in their quest to grow their guild into a mainstay in the Indonesian market.
With the fintech partners that they have onboarded, PathDAO is in a unique position to offer both fintech and DeFi products to their guild members!
- Arthur Cheong, Founding Partner at DeFiance Capital

Our Vision

PathDAO wants to be the SuperIndex of Metaverse. With more blockchain games coming into the space, it is getting harder for investors to make the right bet given the amount of noise in the market. With deep research, proactive community engagement and operational excellence, PathDAO aims to become the top-performing Metaverse asset investment and management organisation — creating superior return for $PATH holders.

Play-to-earn economy has transformed the lives of many in the developing world. PathDAO wants to provide our scholars with the best earning opportunities, a family across local communities and the opportunities to grow professionally within a gaming guild.

Most scholars in developing world are unbanked, without access to healthcare insurance, investment opportunities and financing facilities. PathDAO, as a gaming guild, is best-positioned to bring a whole suite of financial products to the unbanked. Imagine a scholar could now get access to healthcare insurance and a 20% APY on Anchor protocol?

Growth

Since launch in October 2021, we have

  • brought in 1,000 scholars and aim to have more than 5,000 in January 2022

  • launched the first NFT project, a co-generative NFT that allows the owner to define the final form of the art by inputting a phrase of choosing. Minting is now closed and close to 1,900 of them have been minted
