What Freeverse.io does

Freeverse.io is a Barcelona-based blockchain infrastructure company that builds LAOS Network, a Layer-1 blockchain deployed as a parachain within the Polkadot ecosystem. The company's core technical proposition is 'Bridgeless Minting,' a proprietary approach that enables NFT creation on Bitcoin and EVM-compatible chains without centralized indexers or chain-specific gas fees, with reported minting costs more than ten times lower than competing blockchains. On top of this infrastructure, Freeverse.io sells 'Living Assets' (NFT 2.0) — dynamic NFTs that change and evolve based on owner interactions, real-world data, and gameplay — aimed at game developers, NFT creators, brands, and real-world asset tokenization projects.

Freeverse.io monetizes through network transaction and minting fees. The go-to-market is community-led and developer-focused: technical documentation, GitHub-hosted whitepapers, case studies of integrated games, and self-service builder onboarding without traditional sales intervention. The customer base is concentrated in gaming and metaverse startups (MetaClash, The Miners Run, Goal Revolution, Battle of Chains, Netherak, Furiosao, LifesMeta, Dark Rally, MetaverseMe), all listed as small-scale integrations. The product surface includes the LAOS Network protocol, the $LAOS native utility token, a uERC-721 smart contract for EVM compatibility, a live block explorer, governance tooling, and staking/vesting infrastructure.

The company has raised approximately €11.5M across three disclosed rounds (2019, 2021 seed of $1M, 2022 Series A of €10M) from Earlybird, Target Global, Adara Ventures, and 4Founders Capital. Leadership comprises CEO Alun Evans, CTO Toni Mateos, CFO Ferran Estalella, and Head of Engineering Alessandro Siniscalchi, with a team of 11–50 employees. A material recent development is the announced closure of the LAOS Foundation, with protocol maintenance and governance transitioning to the broader community — a significant structural shift that alters the company's ongoing role relative to the protocol it built.

Revenue model

1. Network Transaction Fees: LAOS generates revenue through network transaction and minting fees. The platform highlights that minting fees are more than ten times lower than any other blockchain while assets still appear as regular NFTs in other chains.
2. Cross-Chain Minting Fees: Revenue from enabling asset minting across EVM chains without paying gas fees for that chain. Users mint on LAOS but assets are tradable on Ethereum, Polygon, and other EVM marketplaces.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• The Sandbox: The Sandbox is a metaverse platform with its own LAND/asset NFT economy — comparable as a customer-segment peer (metaverse NFT projects) rather than a direct infrastructure competitor.
• Decentraland: Decentraland is a metaverse platform with on-chain LAND and wearable NFTs, overlapping with LAOS's metaverse customer base (LifesMeta, MetaverseMe) and dynamic-asset narrative.
• Stargaze: Stargaze is a Cosmos-based NFT marketplace and infrastructure provider — an emerging NFT-native chain with comparable tooling and developer-focused go-to-market.

Direct peers

• Immutable: Immutable is a Layer-2 scaling network focused on Web3 gaming and NFTs, offering low-cost minting and a marketplace for in-game assets — directly comparable to LAOS's positioning as gaming-focused NFT infrastructure.
• Flow (Dapper Labs): Flow is a Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for NFTs and consumer applications (NBA Top Shot, NFL All Day), competing head-to-head with LAOS for gaming and collectible NFT workloads.
• Enjin: Enjin provides NFT infrastructure and tooling for games, including the Efinity parachain on Polkadot — directly comparable to LAOS as a Polkadot-ecosystem NFT-infrastructure-for-gaming play.
• Sky Mavis / Ronin: Sky Mavis operates the Ronin chain, a gaming-focused blockchain built to scale Axie Infinity-style economies, positioning Ronin as a competitor for LAOS's gaming NFT use cases.

Broad incumbents

• Polygon: Polygon offers low-cost EVM-compatible NFT minting and a broad L2 ecosystem for games and brands. While not a direct L1 competitor, it overlaps heavily with LAOS's NFT minting and EVM interoperability value proposition.
• Animoca Brands: Animoca is a major Web3 gaming investor and ecosystem operator with deep relationships across NFT game studios, overlapping with LAOS's target customer base of gaming and metaverse projects.
• MultiversX (Elrond): MultiversX is a high-throughput Layer-1 that markets itself for NFT and gaming use cases with low fees — competing for the same cost-efficient NFT infrastructure narrative LAOS promotes.
