What Decentralised Gaming Ventures does

Decentralised Gaming Ventures (DGV) is a Singapore-based Web3 game venture studio founded in 2021. It supports independent and emerging game development teams in Southeast Asia by acquiring independent studios, providing mentorship programs, and facilitating collaboration with globally renowned entertainment IPs to produce blockchain-based gaming experiences. The company does not sell a named consumer product; instead its core offering is a portfolio of investments, operational support, and IP access aimed at developers building on Web3 infrastructure.

DGV's underlying technology stack is described as Web 3.0 / blockchain gaming, but no proprietary platforms, modules, or technical components are publicly identified. The company operates with a small team of 1-10 employees and discloses no named products, customers, or portfolio studios in the available data. Its go-to-market is enterprise-style, working directly with independent studios via direct investment and studio acquisition relationships, primarily across the Southeast Asian region.

The business model is structured around venture studio operations, with revenue theoretically generated through licensing and royalties from supported studios and IP collaborations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. To date, DGV has secured a single disclosed funding round: a seven-figure investment in June 2023 led by Korean crypto-focused venture fund Hashed, earmarked for studio acquisitions, mentorship, and IP-driven collaboration. No follow-on capital events, commercial revenue figures, or named portfolio companies are available in the input data.

Direct peers

• Animoca Brands: The dominant Web3 gaming venture studio and investor globally. Directly comparable to DGV as both operate venture-studio-style models backing blockchain game studios and IP; Animoca is the clear market leader in DGV's category.
• Sky Mavis: Vietnam-based creator of Axie Infinity and operator of the Ronin chain. A Southeast Asian Web3 gaming studio and ecosystem builder, directly comparable to DGV's regional SEA focus and Web3 game development remit.
• Mythical Games: Web3 game studio building AAA blockchain titles (e.g., NFL Rivals, Blankos). Comparable as a venture-backed Web3-native game developer pursuing IP partnerships and tokenised economies.
• Dapper Labs: Pioneer Web3 gaming studio behind NBA Top Shot and CryptoKitties. Directly comparable as a venture-backed blockchain game studio partnering with major entertainment/ sports IPs — analogous to DGV's 'globally renowned IPs' differentiator.
• Gala Games: Web3 gaming ecosystem operator running multiple blockchain game studios (Gala Music, Gala Film). Comparable as a diversified Web3 gaming venture platform backing multiple game titles and IP collaborations.
• Big Time Studios: Web3-native action RPG studio building player-owned economies. Directly comparable as a venture-backed blockchain game studio targeting core gamers with tokenised in-game assets.
• Limit Break: Web3 game studio founded by former Zynga executives, building free-to-play blockchain games with token economies. Comparable as a venture-backed studio advancing Web3 game design and IP-token models.

Broad incumbents

• BITKRAFT Ventures: Dedicated Web3 and interactive media venture fund investing across game studios and infrastructure. A broader incumbent investor/builder in the same Web3 gaming category DGV operates in, but operating as a fund rather than operating studio.

Emerging players

• Immutable: Web3 gaming infrastructure provider (Immutable zkEVM, Immutable X) and game publisher. Comparable as a Web3-gaming-native player that supports multiple game studios — adjacent rather than direct overlap with DGV's venture studio model.
• Yield Guild Games: SEA-rooted Web3 gaming guild operating scholarship and asset-rental programs across multiple blockchain games. Overlaps with DGV's SEA Web3 gaming focus and player-network orientation, though structured as a community/guild rather than a venture studio.
