The firm’s Sonic protocol, launched in March, is the first gaming rollup on Solana that allows developers to create SVM chains for their GameFi projects.
Solana gaming studio Mirror World Labs has raised $12 million in its inaugural Series A funding led by Bitkraft, Galaxy Interactive, Big Brain Holdings and others to further the development of its gaming rollup, Sonic.
“For the past two years, we’ve worked with hundreds of games in the Web3 gaming ecosystem, helping them with monetization and listing,” said Chris Zhu, CEO and founder of Sonic, on June 13, continuing:
The funds will be used to accelerate the Sonic protocol with features such as sandbox environments, customizable gaming primitives and extensible data types. Sonic will contribute to onboarding new developers to the Solana gaming ecosystem as well as focus on easing existing game producers into using the Sonic SVM and HyperGrid Framework. The latter is a rollup deployment kit that allows developers to deploy new game engines and virtual machines within the Solana environment.
