NPC Labs Closes $18M Funding Round to Build GameFi Ecosystem on Base Protocol

NPC Labs, a developer focused on building a GameFi ecosystem on the Base protocol, has raised $18 million in a funding round led by Pantera Capital. The company plans to use the funds to act as a core contributor to B3.fun, a Base gaming ecosystem, and build GameFi products that are accessible to non-crypto native users. NPC Labs aims to make crypto gaming more accessible to the average person and plans to build discovery portals such as Basement.fun to help users get into these games. Other participants in the funding round included Collab+Currency, Sfermion, Mirana Ventures, Bitscale Capital, and Mantle EcoFund.
