What Pentagon Games does

Pentagon Games, headquartered in Singapore and operating as Pentagon Group (BVI-incorporated), is a Web3 gaming and AI infrastructure company built around Pentagon Chain, a zkEVM Layer 2 (Chain ID 3344) constructed on Polygon CDK and settling to Ethereum. The company was founded by Emma (CEO, serial crypto entrepreneur since 2017), Idon (CBO, ex-Microsoft Xbox), and Wei (CFO), and has assembled a team drawing from Ubisoft, Marvel/DC, Cartoon Network, and AAA production houses serving Epic Games, Blizzard, Square Enix, Sony, and Sega, with advisors including a former Disney Interactive VP and EA Games studio CFO. Its product surface spans a Layer-1-style chain with built-in DApps (PentaSwap AMM, NFT marketplace, bridge, explorer), NFT Mining V2 with Bitcoin-style tokenomics ($NFC, 21M cap, halving every 210,000 blocks), a PenXR WebXR spatial computing platform paired with a hardware AR/VR headset, and an AI agent stack (ANIMA/ERC-8170, PEG.GG, PEG ID, AgentCert). It also owns gaming IPs including BCSH (Blockchain Superheroes), the Gunnies PvPvE shooter, Ether Fantasy auto-dungeon RPG, and PentaPets. The company is an official Polygon Validator (validators #19 and #10).

The business model is product-led and freemium at the entry point. Users can start NFT mining for free via Offchain or NPC Points tiers and upgrade to paid Onchain or Boosted tiers (0.02 $PC per 24-hour boosted session, 0.10 $PC per 7-day session), with fees split across MEGA, Omega, and aggregator pools. Every on-chain action (swaps, NFT mints, marketplace trades, AI tasks, spatial interactions, gameplay settlement) burns $PC, while sponsor pools carry a 3% fee (2% aggregator, 1% OMEGA bonus). VIP tiers (VIP1-VIP3) gate hashrate multipliers and faucet access on PEN token or qualifying NFT holdings. The platform serves four primary segments: gamers and Web3 enthusiasts, NFT collectors and traders, AI agent developers and operators, and other blockchain gaming projects; its marketing is community-led (680K+ Telegram, 420K+ X/Twitter, Discord) and event-driven, with active presence at Consensus Hong Kong 2025, Future Blockchain Summit Dubai 2024, and India Blockchain Summit 2024, plus earned media via CNBC GameChangers.

The company has raised $6 million in seed funding (August 2024) from Binance Labs (now YZi Labs), Animoca Brands, Polygon, Republic, NFX, The Spartan Group, Symbolic Capital, Tess Ventures, and YGG, and reports live metrics of 912K+ wallets, 1.29M+ total transactions, 29K+ AgentCerts, and 12.53% of $NFC supply mined. Geographic service excludes US, China, and Canada.

Core offering

Pentagon Games operates a Web3 AI gaming platform built on Pentagon Chain, a zkEVM Layer 2 blockchain. Its core offerings include the PenXR WebXR spatial computing platform (plus a Web3-enabled AR/VR headset), a non-custodial NFT Mining platform using NFTs as hashrate to earn $NFC rewards, the Pentagon NFT Marketplace and PentaSwap DEX, plus proprietary AI agent infrastructure (PEG ID identity, PEG.GG memory, ANIMA/ERC-8170 wallets, AgentCert certification) and live gaming IPs including Gunnies, BCSH Hero Squad Showdown and Ether Fantasy.

Product overview

Pentagon Games operates as a Web3 AI gaming platform company built on a layered platform-plus-modules architecture. The core infrastructure is Pentagon Chain, a zkEVM Layer 2 (Chain ID 3344) built on Polygon CDK settling to Ethereum, which provides the foundational blockchain for the entire ecosystem — powering identity, memory, economy, and trust for both users and AI agents. On top of this, the company offers PenXR, an immersive WebXR platform for creating and exploring 3D spaces, augmented by the world\'s first Web3-enabled AR/VR headset (PenXR AR Glasses). The platform\'s product portfolio spans multiple modules: Pentagon AI (mobile wallet for managing assets and AI agent orchestration), NFT Mining V2 (a non-custodial mining platform using NFTs as hashrate), the Pentagon NFT Marketplace (for trading ecosystem NFTs), PentaSwap (DEX/AMM), the VIP Program (token- and NFT-holding-based loyalty tiers), and a suite of identity/certification tools (PEG ID, ANIMA/ERC-8170, AgentCert, PEG.GG) that enable sovereign AI agent participation. The ecosystem also encompasses original gaming IPs including Gunnies (live PvPvE shooter), BCSH Hero Squad Showdown (agent-playable TCG), Ether Fantasy (auto-dungeon RPG), Blockchain Superheroes (BCSH superhero IP universe), and PentaPets. Three native tokens power the economy: $PC (chain gas), $NFC (mining rewards with Bitcoin-style halving), and $PEN (ecosystem token unlocking VIP tiers). The company also serves as an official Polygon Validator.
