What Tevaera does

Tevaera is a US-based, venture-backed onchain gaming platform founded in 2022 and headquartered in Orlando. The company operates a full-stack ecosystem built on Base (Coinbase's Ethereum L2), combining a tokenized guild system, an NFT marketplace (Teva Market), an in-game token swap (Teva Dex), and multiple consumer games including the Steam-distributed vehicle battle royale Degen Rivals, the racing title Teva Run, the idle feeding game TeviTreat, the ZK-proof multiplayer game Wild Whispers, and the upcoming adventure game Guardian Islands. It also targets game developers with Teva Stack, providing Unity and Unreal SDKs, REST APIs, gasless Account Abstraction onboarding, and developer funding credits of up to $100k+.

The platform's core differentiator is its end-to-end architecture on Base L2, including Layer Zero-powered ONFTs for cross-chain NFT interoperability, AA Wallets for gasless social onboarding, and the $TEVA ecosystem token (4 billion supply) that powers guild tokenization, governance, and play-to-earn economics. The user base spans 1M+ community members across 110+ countries, with 945.7K+ GamerID soulbound NFTs minted and 70,000+ Discord members supporting beta testing.

Tevaera's business model is a multi-stream transaction-fee and microtransaction model: NFT marketplace trading fees (with a 50% discount for GamerID holders), in-game cosmetic pack sales ($2.50-$9.99), Karma-to-TEVA token swap fees with daily limits, and trading fees from 40+ listed guild tokens. GTM is community-led, anchored on Discord, X, Telegram, and Medium, supplemented by industry events such as GDC 2024. The company is privately held, raised $5M in April 2024 from a syndicate co-led by Laser Digital and Nomura, and has not publicly disclosed revenue.
