At Argus Labs, we are pioneering the future of massively multiplayer online (MMO) gaming by granting players unprecedented freedom to shape, expand, and impact the virtual worlds they engage with. Our innovative approach is anchored in World Engine, our cutting-edge onchain game server framework.
World Engine utilizes a unique sharded rollup blockchain architecture, enabling games to implement smart contracts for user-generated content (UGC) while accommodating tens of thousands of concurrent users without sacrificing performance. To date, World Engine stands as the most efficient blockchain purpose-built for gaming, having been successfully deployed in games like Dark Frontier, which processed over 700,000 player transactions in just one week.
Supported by Industry Leaders
We have secured $10 million in seed funding, spearheaded by Haun Ventures, a prominent $1.5 billion crypto fund led by former a16z GP, Katie Haun, alongside notable angel investors from the tech and gaming sectors, including Elad Gil and Balaji Srinivasan (former Coinbase CTO).
