Game of Silks is a blockchain-enabled, play-to-earn gaming platform that tokenizes thoroughbred racehorses as NFTs and links real-world racing data, bloodlines, and physical racing assets to a parallel virtual metaverse for horse racing and breeding. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, the company is privately held and operates at a small scale (1–10 employees), targeting horse racing enthusiasts and crypto/NFT gaming users. Its core product architecture is built on tokenized racehorse NFTs backed by real-world racing performance data, with strategic backing from Tropical Racing Inc. — a public thoroughbred racing and breeding company that manages a 200-acre horse farm — and industry partners including NYRA and FOX Sports.

The company has raised $7 million cumulatively across two seed-stage rounds ($2 million in April 2022 from Tropical Racing Inc., and $5 million in October 2023 from strategic investors including FunFair Ventures and Taylor Made Farm), suggesting a venture-backed, capital-intensive consumer model with implicit reliance on NFT primary sales, secondary marketplace fees, and partnership-driven distribution. Go-to-market is industry-partnership-led rather than product-led, with channel relationships through credentialed racing bodies and media (NYRA, FOX Sports) serving as the primary acquisition mechanism. Note: the firmographic and technology record also contain references to an unrelated entity also using the "Silks" name in legal AI/identity verification; per company history, this is a separate business and is not analyzed here. The silks.io domain currently displays unrelated soccer-streaming content (Jalalive), suggesting either a domain transition, parking, or content separation that introduces additional identity-clarity risk.

The Business TimesTradition under pressure: Heritage businesses strive to stay relevantHeritage businesses in Singapore, particularly in historic districts like Kampong Glam, Chinatown, and Little India, are facing existential threats from foreign e-commerce competition, stronger Singapore dollar eroding tourist spending, and declining local demand for traditional goods. Al-Amal Creations, a non-alcoholic perfume and abaya shop in Kampong Glam, will close by end-March due to rising rents and no revenue, joining a broader trend of heritage shop closures despite government support schemes.
