The NFT-based play-to-earn game DOGAMÍ, built on the Tezos blockchain, has successfully raised $6 million in a funding round led by major industry players. The investment was spearheaded by Animoca Brands, Ubisoft, and co-founders of The Sandbox, with additional support from XAnge, Ghaf Capital, Blockchain Founder Fund, and Draper Goren Holm.
The funds are earmarked to advance the development of the "Petaverse," a digital ecosystem for virtual pet ownership and gaming. Nicolas Pouard, VP of Strategic Innovation Lab at Ubisoft, commented on the partnership, stating, "At Ubisoft, we believe that blockchain holds a key to the future of the videogame industry... We think DOGAMÍ shares this vision and contributes to the opening of blockchain gaming to mainstream players."
Concurrently, DOGAMÍ has announced the minting phase for its Petaverse on the Tezos blockchain, set to begin on March 1. The minting will feature Generation Alpha NFTs across four rarity tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond. Access to the private and public sales will be limited, with OG Dogamers allowed to mint up to 2 NFTs per wallet in the private sale and public sale participants limited to 1 NFT.
The project, which features over 300 unique dog breeds, utilizes an AR-enabled mobile app for interaction. A core play-to-earn mechanic allows users to train their pets and compete in challenges to earn the native $DOGA token. The token can be used for in-game purchases, breeding, and will be tradable on secondary markets. A beta version of the game is scheduled for launch in Q2 of this year, with plans to integrate DeFi features like farming and staking.
DOGAMÍ has demonstrated significant community growth, boasting over 80,000 members. A recent NFT giveaway attracted more than 27,000 entries, and its Doga Bones airdrop NFT topped Objkt's Hot Collection chart.
