Beamable Raises $13.5M to Build Decentralized Gaming Backend
Beamable Inc., a company focused on decentralized gaming infrastructure, has raised $13.5 million in a Series A funding round led by BITKRAFT Ventures. The funds will accelerate the expansion of Beamable Network, a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) designed to replace centralized cloud services like AWS and Google Cloud with a community-powered backend for online games.
Joining BITKRAFT Ventures in the investment round are Arca, Advancit Capital, 2Punks, P2 Ventures, Solana Foundation, Scytale Digital, defy.vc, GrandBanks Capital, and Permit Ventures.
How Beamable Aims to Disrupt Gaming Infrastructure
1. Replacing Cloud Giants with Decentralization
Beamable’s decentralized backend will eliminate reliance on big-tech hyperscalers, allowing developers to run their games on a community-driven network with reduced costs and increased scalability.
2. Blockchain-Powered DePIN Model
- The Beamable Network will use blockchain-based incentives to reward contributors providing computing power, storage, and bandwidth.
- Similar to Bitcoin mining, participants are rewarded with blockchain tokens for supporting the infrastructure.
3. Open-Source Game Infrastructure
- Beamable Foundation, an independent entity, will oversee the open-sourcing of Beamable’s infrastructure, ensuring developers can customize backend services.
- Third-party developers can create and monetize custom software modules within the Beamable ecosystem.
4. Compatibility with Major Game Engines
Beamable’s decentralized infrastructure supports:
- Unity and Unreal Engine integration.
- PC, console, and mobile game development.
Beamable’s Market Position & Growth Potential
With millions of users and billions of API calls already processed, Beamable is positioned to rank among the top 10 DePIN projects by revenue at launch.
BITKRAFT Ventures’ Take
Carlos Pereira, General Partner at BITKRAFT Ventures, believes Beamable is uniquely positioned to set a new standard for decentralized gaming infrastructure.
“Its proven technology and built-in demand, combined with the disruptive potential of DePIN, represents an unparalleled opportunity to enable game developers—across Web2 and Web3—to build, grow, and thrive at scale,” he said.
The Future of Beamable
With $13.5 million in funding, Beamable is poised to reshape gaming infrastructure, shifting control from tech giants to developers. By leveraging blockchain-powered decentralization, it offers a scalable, cost-effective, and community-driven alternative for game development.
As more developers look to break free from centralized cloud providers, Beamable’s DePIN model could define the future of online game infrastructure.
