NAUT tracks 233 crypto gaming companies that are live, describe game or play products in their own words, and carry a working domain, read on 4 November 2026. 131 of the 233 have at least 1 funding round on NAUT's record, 561 rounds between them, and the 127 that disclosed an amount add up to $3,352.3M, of which the 12 largest raisers hold $2,481.9M, or 74%.
Data as of 4 November 2026, from NAUT's own company and funding records. The scope: NAUT's Gaming sector tag sits on 711 live project rows, 472 of those read as game, play or esports businesses from their own description, and 233 of the 472 also have a domain on file, which is the reachable list this article covers. The 239 rows dropped at the description read are white-label NFT tooling, casino and sportsbook products, and general metaverse platforms, so they are not counted here. A further 239 rows whose description does match gaming have no domain on file and stay out of the list. Amounts are the disclosed totals NAUT holds per company, not a valuation. NAUT Research wrote this report; no one paid for it.

Which chains do crypto gaming companies build on?
Ethereum and BNB Chain lead. Every count below is NAUT's own record: each of the 233 companies contributes its full chain list as published on its NAUT page, so a company on 5 chains is counted 5 times. 142 of the 233 have at least 1 chain on file and 73 name 2 or more, so the shares below overlap and 91 rows carry no chain.
| Chain | Companies | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Ethereum | 72 | 30.9% |
| BNB Chain | 63 | 27.0% |
| Base | 25 | 10.7% |

| Immutable |
11 | 4.7% |
| Ronin | 9 | 3.9% |
The 2 chains built for games in this group, Immutable at 11 companies and Ronin at 9, sit below the general purpose chains. Ethereum and BNB Chain together account for 135 of the chain mentions.
How many have a token, funding, or both?
138 of the 233 have a live token and 131 have a funding round, which splits the list into 4 groups, each shown below with its share of the 233.
| Group | Companies | Share | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Funded + token | 101 | 43.3% | Axie Infinity |
| Token, no round | 37 | 15.9% |  BORA |
| Funded, no token | 30 | 12.9% | Yuga Labs |
| Neither on file | 65 | 27.9% |  Elemon |
The 37 with a live token and no round on NAUT's record include BORA and Gomble Games. The 30 funded teams with no token yet are the group a launch service, exchange or market maker can pitch, led by Yuga Labs at $450M, Gunzilla Games at $76M, Mirror World at $16M, Pixelmon at $14.2M, Beamable at $13.5M and Revolving Games at $13M.
What this tells a BD team

- Repeat raisers are the warmest accounts. 45 of the 131 funded companies have 5 or more rounds on NAUT's record, from Immutable at 11 and Cross The Ages at 8 to Everreach Labs at 7, so there is a funding history to open with.
- Chain coverage decides your territory. A team selling Ethereum tooling has 72 accounts here, BNB Chain 63, Base 25 and Solana 24, while 91 rows name no chain and need a call to place.
- Every row is reachable. All 233 have a working domain and an X handle on file, which is why they are on this list and the 239 web3 gaming companies with no domain are not.

What this tells a gaming founder
- Crypto gaming funding is still landing in rounds, not only token sales. 561 rounds sit across 131 of the 233 companies, and 127 of them disclosed an amount.
- A token is not a prerequisite for a raise here. 30 funded companies have no live token on file, and 37 companies with a live token have no round on NAUT's record.
- Infrastructure raises the largest cheques in this group. Immutable at $594.4M over 11 rounds and Somnia at $270M in 1 round are both platform plays rather than single games.
- Look at the comparable, then at its backers. Each of the 131 funded rows opens a page with its rounds and the firms on each one, which is the fastest way to build a target investor list for your own stage.
- Match your stage42 of the 233 have $10M or more on record and 104 have $1M or more, so pick the band you are raising into.
- Read the comparableCatizen raised $59.5M over 4 rounds and Xterio $55.3M over 3, with each round and its backers on the page.

- Reach the partnerEach investor on those rounds has a NAUT page with its team and the channels NAUT holds.
How to reach the decision makers
Every company above links to its NAUT page, which lists the team, the rounds and the people to contact, and all 233 rows carry a domain and an X handle. NAUT's data shows 131 of the 233 with at least 1 round, so a pitch can open on a real number rather than a guess. The 239 blockchain gaming projects that match on description but have no domain on file are left out of this list, and the 239 Gaming-tagged rows that did not read as gaming businesses are out too.
