KapKap’s focus-based model offers a new approach to monetizing games, setting itself apart from conventional methods.

KapKap, an AI-first Web3 platform aiming to reshape digital value through an attention-based economic model, has raised $10 million in seed funding. The round was led by Animoca Brands, a leading name in blockchain gaming, and saw additional backing from Shima Capital, Mechanism Capital, Klaytn Foundation, and Big Brain Holdings. A later strategic round brought in support from Unicorn Verse, Rzong Capital, and BGX Capital. This investment reflects increasing faith from investors in KapKap’s vision to revolutionize the monetization of digital attention and creativity, using AI and blockchain to foster a transparent and participatory digital economy.

The newly acquired funds will help speed up the rollout of KapKap’s proprietary Key Attention Pricing System (KAPS), a unique framework that transforms user engagement, creativity, and reputation into digital assets that can be traded. KAPS translates activities like gaming, social interaction, and content production into a “K-score,” ensuring equitable value sharing throughout the platform. Unlike conventional gaming models that focus on in-game purchases or advertising, KapKap rewards users for ongoing involvement. This innovative approach has already drawn in 1.7 million monthly active users and 25,000 daily active users across games such as Summon of Glory and Idle Knights.

KapKap has also formed strategic alliances with leading Web3 and entertainment organizations, including Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC),

DAO, and SNK, broadening its influence. Partnerships like Summon of Glory bring well-known gaming franchises such as The King of Fighters and Samurai Shodown onto the platform, blending popular gaming with NFT culture. These collaborations establish KapKap as a connector between mainstream entertainment and decentralized networks, encouraging innovation across industries.

KapKap’s emphasis on AI-powered reputation systems and attention-based valuation reflects larger movements within the Web3 landscape. By integrating verifiable digital ownership into gaming and creator platforms, KapKap seeks to resolve persistent issues around equitable monetization. Both investors and collaborators see the platform as a driving force for a new generation of digital economies, where user input is directly linked to financial rewards. The involvement of Animoca Brands especially signals the transformative potential of AI and blockchain in redefining value within the gaming sector.

In the future, KapKap intends to introduce casual and mobile games to attract millions of new users to Web3. The capital will also be used to enhance infrastructure, refine AI-driven reputation models, and provide developer resources for integrating KAPS into external games. With its expanding community and strategic partnerships, KapKap is set to accelerate the movement toward attention-based digital economies, serving as a model for AI-centric platforms in the Web3 arena.
