# Dogami: A Web3 Pet Gaming Platform
Dogami is a Paris-based Web3 gaming startup that develops a mobile-first pet simulator where players own, care for, and breed NFT-based virtual dogs while earning cryptocurrency rewards.[1][2] Founded in 2021 by Max Stoeckl, Bilal El Alamy, Adrien Magdelaine, and Kristofer D. Penseyres, the company operates in the emerging "petaverse"—a virtual ecosystem centered on digital pet ownership and interaction.[2]
The platform allows players to purchase NFT dog avatars and accessories, then engage in daily care activities similar to classic Tamagotchi gameplay but with blockchain-based rewards.[1] Players earn the $DOGA cryptocurrency token based on how they treat their virtual canines, creating a play-to-earn model that incentivizes ongoing engagement.[1] Dogami claims a community of over 200,000 members across more than 80 countries, with an average user age of 30.[1][2]
Dogami emerged in 2021 as gaming and NFT adoption accelerated. The startup secured its initial $6 million seed round in January 2022, backed by notable investors including French games publisher Ubisoft, blockchain games publisher Animoca Brands, metaverse creation tool The Sandbox co-founders, and blockchain infrastructure providers Tezos and GSR.[1]
By December 2022, the company had closed an extended $14 million seed round (€14 million / $15.7 million), led by pan-European venture capital firm XAnge and including participation from French public investment bank Bpifrance, Singapore-based Blockchain Founders Fund, and Wagram Capital.[1][2] This funding trajectory reflects investor confidence in the Web3 gaming thesis during a period of significant NFT market exploration.
Dogami exemplifies the convergence of three major tech trends: mobile gaming dominance, NFT adoption in gaming, and play-to-earn economics.[2] The company rides the wave of mainstream interest in blockchain gaming, which has expanded beyond crypto enthusiasts to include traditional gamers seeking new monetization models and digital ownership.
The timing proved strategic—Dogami raised its seed rounds during the 2021-2022 NFT boom when institutional investors were actively exploring Web3 gaming applications.[1][2] The platform's focus on the petaverse specifically targets a niche with proven appeal (virtual pet games have generational staying power, from Tamagotchi to Pokémon GO) while adding blockchain-native features.
By attracting players across 80+ countries with an average age of 30, Dogami demonstrates that Web3 gaming can appeal beyond stereotypical crypto demographics, potentially influencing how the broader gaming industry integrates blockchain technology and tokenized assets.
Dogami's trajectory suggests the company is positioning itself as a bridge between traditional gaming and Web3 infrastructure. The planned breeding system (targeting 100,000 unique NFTs) and multi-game roadmap indicate ambitions to build a sustainable ecosystem rather than a single-hit product.[1]
The key challenge ahead lies in sustaining engagement beyond the novelty of NFT ownership and play-to-earn mechanics—a test many Web3 games have failed. Dogami's advantage is its focus on core gameplay quality and mainstream accessibility rather than pure tokenomics speculation. If the company successfully launches its second game and maintains an active 200,000+ player base, it could establish a template for how traditional gaming publishers approach Web3 integration.
The broader question is whether the petaverse becomes a durable gaming category or remains a niche experiment. Dogami's institutional backing and multi-year funding suggest investors believe the former, but execution will ultimately determine whether the company becomes a Web3 gaming leader or a cautionary tale about overhyped blockchain gaming.
