XYRO, a next-generation Web3 platform blending AI-powered gamification with social trading, has announced the completion of a $1.4 million private funding round led by prominent venture capital firm Animoca Brands, with strategic backing from CoinMarketCap Labs and Chainlink. Since its mainnet launch in the second half of 2024, the platform has processed over $3.5 million in gaming volume, recorded more than 500,000 on-chain transactions, and amassed a community of over 1.2 million followers.
First-of-its-Kind Gamified Social Trading Model
XYRO integrates predictive gaming mechanics with social interaction, offering four core game modes: Up/Down, Bull’s Eye, 1vs1, and Setups. Users earn USDT rewards by forecasting the price movements of Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies. CEO Vlad Sadkov explains: “Players join for the chance to earn USDT rewards, but they stay for the community and social aspect. Live chat, team challenges, leaderboard competition, and KOL trading setup voting create high engagement and low churn.” Currently, the live chat feature attracts over 2,000 active players per hour.
Fully On-Chain Transparency with AI Enhancements
XYRO is one of the few Web3 gaming platforms where all games run fully on-chain. Each session result is recorded on the Arbitrum blockchain, ensuring provable fairness and complete transparency. Recently, the project introduced a suite of AI features to deepen immersion; future plans include allowing players to compete against AI-generated trading setups in a human-versus-neural-network challenge, further elevating the platform’s appeal.
Funding Traction and Growth Milestones
In July 2024, Animoca Brands led XYRO’s private investment round, raising $1.4 million. CoinMarketCap Labs, a major Web3 accelerator, is incubating the platform. Leveraging resources from both partners, XYRO transitioned from testnet to mainnet and tripled its user base within a few months. The platform has also launched a cashback program and a revamped leveling system where users earn points for various activities. Higher levels entitle users to larger allocations in the upcoming $XYRO gamified airdrop.
Upcoming $XYRO Token Launch and Gamified Airdrop
XYRO is preparing to launch its long-awaited utility token, $XYRO, along with the industry’s first gamified airdrop. Thousands of active players have been accumulating points through challenges and leaderboard rankings to secure token allocations. The onboarding stage remains open, allowing new members to earn points and participate in the token launch.
XYRO’s rapid success and institutional backing underscore the potential of gamified social trading as one of the most promising verticals in Web3 gaming. With support from Animoca Brands and CoinMarketCap, XYRO is building a comprehensive ecosystem that merges entertainment, trading, and social interaction.
