Freeverse.io is a Barcelona-based technology company founded in 2019 that builds a Web3 infrastructure platform for Living Assets—next-generation NFTs that evolve based on usage, enabling true digital ownership with utility-driven value rather than speculation.[1][2][3] It serves game developers, brands, and content creators by providing APIs and SDKs for minting, evolving, and trading these mutable NFTs at scale without gas fees, solving problems like static NFT limitations, environmental impact, and legal trading of in-game assets.[3][4][6] The company has raised approximately €10M ($10.5M-$11M) in funding from investors including Earlybird Venture Capital, Target Global, Adara Ventures, and 4Founders Capital, with Earlybird investing in 2020; it employs around 26 people and powers applications like Striker Manager 3 in partnership with UPLAY Online.[2][3][5]
Freeverse.io was founded in 2019 by Alun Evans, Toni Mateos, Alessandro Siniscalchi (Co-founder and Head of Engineering), and Ferran Estalella in Barcelona, Spain.[1][3] The idea emerged from gaming, aiming to let players truly own and trade in-game assets for real money while allowing creators to retain control over usage within applications—shifting from speculative rarity to utility-based value.[1][2][3] Early traction included Earlybird's investment in 2020, recognition in the Barcelona & Catalonia Startup Hub as a gaming, blockchain, and deeptech scaleup, and a €10M capital raise in May 2022; pivotal moments include partnerships like the 2023 launch of Striker Manager 3 and expansions beyond gaming to brand loyalty and certifications.[1][2][5]
Freeverse.io rides the Web3 gaming and digital ownership trend, evolving NFTs from static collectibles to functional, utility-driven assets amid blockchain's shift toward mainstream adoption.[1][3][6] Timing aligns with post-hype NFT maturation (post-2021 boom), regulatory pushes for legal asset trading, and gaming's blockchain integration—market forces like rising player ownership demands and brand Web3 experiments favor its gasless, scalable model.[2][5] It influences the ecosystem by enabling developers to add ownership layers without complexity, fostering a "sharing economy" for digital goods and accelerating deeptech applications in gaming, loyalty, and certifications.[2][3][4]
Freeverse.io is positioned to mainstream Living Assets as Web3 infrastructure matures, with expansions into non-gaming verticals like brand programs and certifications driving growth.[3][6] Upcoming trends—AI-enhanced asset evolution, regulatory clarity on digital ownership, and mass-adoption gaming platforms—will amplify its API-led scalability, potentially leading to more partnerships and funding rounds. Its influence may evolve from niche gaming enabler to ubiquitous Web3 ownership layer, tying back to its core mission of converting fun and utility into true, controlled digital value.[1][2][7]
Freeverse.io has raised $11.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $11.0M Series A in May 2022.
