"Agentic browsers may represent a compelling shift in consumer entertainment by offering a broader context for user interaction and serving as an early touchpoint in the digital journey.
When combined with crypto-based payment infrastructure, they could help address monetization challenges that have limited previous browser innovations.
We’re excited to support the team at Donut as they explore new ways users might engage with the internet." --@justswart

🚨 We are excited to announce BITKRAFT Ventures Fund III! 🚨
We are incredibly proud of this accomplishment and cannot wait to invest in forward-thinking, innovative start-ups bringing synthetic reality to life.
From our CEO @JensHilgers:
What we’re particularly proud of with BITKRAFT is that we’ve built a fantastic culture that resonates well with founders because we are straightforward, honest people that have been in the trenches. Culture is very easy to destroy. But it takes a very long time to build. And in our business, trust, integrity and being good people, besides being good investors, and making the right decision fundamentally, is incredibly important.
We are as committed to — and optimistic about — the future of the games industry as we were from the inception of BITKRAFT in 2016. We’ve seen continued growth across all major game platforms, in metrics including user engagement, activity levels, and monetization. Newly formed game studios have seen substantial break out successes over the last years, and the advent of AI in game production further benefits new upstarts in the space.
Additionally, we have witnessed increased interest in game content beyond incumbents from media and tech giants, as well as private equity firms entering the landscape of potential buyers further expanding the exit landscape.

🌟 AI Agents Are Set to Transform Gaming and Web3🌟
@0xtechnoir just dropped a deep-dive thesis and here's why you should care:
🚀 AI agents x crypto x gaming isn't just another tech trend - it's set to reshape how we think about digital worlds.
🧑 From AI-powered NPCs that remember your interactions across platforms to autonomous virtual beings managing their own resources, we're witnessing the potential birth of new persistent digital ecosystems.
🎯 Key insights from our research:
-Agent-first games are creating entirely new gameplay paradigms
-Fully onchain games and Autonomous Worlds are the ultimate playground for agents
-How frameworks like Virtuals & Eliza can democratize agent development
🌙 Moonshot idea - The potential for "Autonomous Virtual Beings" - AI agents that can:
-Pay for their own operational costs
-Make independent strategic and economic decisions independent of their creator
-Form complex relationships with both humans and other AI inside game worlds
🤝 The future isn't just about automation - it's about collaboration between human and artificial agency in ways we're only beginning to imagine.

Good coverage on our portfolio company @cartridge_gg.
The devs are hard at work shipping S-tier tooling and infrastructure to support projects like @LootRealms and @TheDopeWars.
Oh... and breaking Ethereum L2 TPS records!
Cartridge -- Starknet's rising star
==================================
A take by @wmpeaster ✍️
One of my favorite projects in crypto is @cartridge_gg, which builds infra for creating and managing onchain games.
They're a star in the @Starknetgaming scene because their offerings on the L2 are as extensive as they are useful.
For instance, Cartridge leads development on Dojo, an onchain game engine and toolchain. It offers Katana, a sequencer optimized for gaming. Torii is its indexer and client for gaming worlds built on Dojo. It also boasts Slot, a rollup-as-a-service platform for onchain games. And last but not least is the Cartridge Controller, which is a gaming specific smart contract wallet plugin for easy player onboarding.
When you bring all of these pillars together, game devs can readily build really inexpensive, high performance, and low latency games atop @Starknet.
All that said, we saw a perfect example of the early possibilities here this week when Cartridge debuted @flippyflop_gg, a tile flipping game, as part of a planned Starknet stress test.
Using Slot, Cartridge Controller, and beyond, Flippyflop worked like a charm and facilitated a surge of millions of transactions on Starknet, leading to the network's transactions per second (TPS) peaking at 857, a new record in Ethereum's L2 ecosystem.
It was through this app that Starknet was able to better demonstrate its capabilities, and it was through Cartridge's infra stack that such an app was made possible.
When you zoom out, its a big win for Starknet to have this kind of gaming infra available on its chain. A lot of cool games are on the horizon here. And zooming out even further, Cartridge's approach can accelerate crypto gaming in general by making it simple to onboard and engage with onchain games — don't sleep on the Starknet gaming scene accordingly!

We founded Volley with the belief that talking is the easiest way to communicate, and that games are the most fun way to learn about the world.
In the last few years, technology has begun to catch up with our ambition. Leaps forward in speech recognition and LLMs have made our games much better. Hardware has continued to improve—nearly every new TV has a microphone on the remote and every mobile phone has robust voice support.
This funding lets us push the pace even further in bringing our top games—Volley originals like “20 Questions”, “Karaoke”, as well as cherished TV game shows like “Jeopardy” and “Wheel of Fortune”—to new devices, as well as letting us capitalize on technologies like GPT 4o to launch new categories of voice gaming.
If nothing else, our goal of Volley is to have fun making entertainment—if this resonates with you, please join us! Read more about our fundraise and our goals here: volleygames.com/post/announc…

Slot is now live on mainnet!
This is a huge milestone for our portco @cartridge_gg and a potential leap forward for provable apps and games.
NUMS, the first mainnet gamechain on Slot, delivers instant, gas-free gameplay with zk-proof security, running as an ephemeral L3 on Starknet.
NUMS IS LIVE!
The battle for the VRF has begun!! We need every available operator to help contain this.
If you value order in the universe, join the effort and earn $NUMS tokens now!

How should founders choose a blockchain to build on? A question that sounds simple but has many layers (no pun intended)

🌟 We'd like to introduce a new member of the BITKRAFT Ventures crew! 🌟
👋 Meet Lauren Wilhelm, CPA, our new VP of Finance/Controller hailing from the Philadelphia-Metro area in New Jersey. Lauren has an extensive background in tax, private equity, and small business accounting, as well as working as a controller for a fund administrator -- all the right skills needed to get a high score supporting our internal accounting operations. (Fun fact: her father foresaw her future as a CPA when she was only 5 years old)
🏇 Outside of work, Lauren is a bona fide horseback riding aficionado with a love for helping animals. When she's not enjoying the life of a couch potato with her two kittens and husband she's outside sailing the seas or soaking up rays on the beach. ☀ She also always finds time in between to nurture her addiction to NYT Sudoku and Crosswords.
🌆 Lauren loves the Philly area for its central location with the best of city-life and the outdoors all within reach -- oh, and let's not forget the pizza and cheesesteaks! 🍕
Welcome aboard, Lauren 🎉 We're thrilled to have you with us at BITKRAFT!

In a recent article by @VentureBeat, @PitchBook stated that the number of active investors in game development is expected to decline in 2025 despite gaming’s massive $200 billion+ global market size.
This disconnect highlights a critical reality: games remain underinvested, even as they drive cultural and technological innovation across industries like AI, Web3, and immersive tech.
At BITKRAFT Ventures, we believe gaming is more than entertainment—we see it as the next frontier for innovation and growth. Learn more about our thesis here: bitkraft.vc
