According to The Block, Fantasy.top has announced the second version of its platform, Fantasy V2. At the same time, it completed a $4.25 million seed funding round led by Dragonfly and supported by Manifold Ventures.
The decentralized trading card game Fantasy (also known as Fantasy.top), powered by Blast, has announced the second version of its platform, Fantasy V2, while simultaneously completing $4.25 million in seed funding.
This new funding will be used to enhance Fantasy's core products: the trading card game and fantasy betting.
Enhanced content will include more refined products, an expanded daily bet celebrity lineup, new categories (such as Solana vs. Ethereum influencers and left/right curve influencers), and increased prize pools—daily rewards of up to $100,000 and weekly contest rewards exceeding $350,000.
"We are honored to have Dragonfly as the lead investor in this round of funding, as they are a leading venture capital firm supporting category-defining projects such as Ethena and MegaETH," said Fantasy co-founder Travis Bickle, adding that the team "also thanks Manifold Ventures for their continued trust and collaboration on our journey."
It is reported that this funding will also propel Fantasy into a broader social media space, including the launch of Fantasy X, which the team describes as "a dynamic platform for alternative content consumption, connecting with like-minded users, and discovering information."
Fantasy X has launched on V2, and the planned native mobile app aims to become the new hub for traditional "crypto Twitter."
"Currently, there are over 100,000 registered users, and our goal is to expand to millions, making Fantasy X the ultimate destination for navigating and thriving in the crypto Twitter ecosystem," Bickle said.
Finally, Fantasy plans to revisit its decentralized finance origins, exploring new ways to capture the "crypto Twitter" trend for user acquisition—such as "real-time trading experiences to capture the excitement of chasing memecoins, reimagining social media dynamics."
