Mirror World Labs, a Solana gaming studio, has secured $12 million in a Series A funding round led by Bitkraft, Galaxy Interactive, and Big Brain Holdings. The funds will be used to speed up the development of Sonic, a gaming rollup. The Sonic protocol will offer features like sandbox environments and customizable gaming primitives, aiming to onboard new developers to the Solana gaming ecosystem. Despite Solana's success in the memecoin boom and decentralized application market, its gaming aspect has lagged behind. The Sonic protocol, launched in March, could help developers deploy Solana Virtual Machine chains to support their GameFi projects.
