ZKcandy, a Layer 2 blockchain with ties to the gaming studio iCandy, has secured $4 million in a private funding round. The investment, backed by Wemix Pte. Ltd., Animoca Ventures, and others, aims to accelerate the development of a Telegram-based EVM gaming ecosystem and AI gaming agents. This fundraising follows the launch of ZKcandy's open testnet, which saw over 2.4 million wallets created in two weeks. The company plans to leverage its connections to major IP holders to enhance Web3 gaming accessibility and expand its network to support more AAA games, including a Tier-1 Hollywood IP licensed title.
