Era7

Era7 is a Singapore-based company founded in 2021 that operates in the GameFi sector, combining decentralized finance (DeFi) with gaming. The company's core product is "Era7: Game of Truth," a play-to-earn, NFT-based trading card game (TCG) built on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). The game is designed as a metaverse-style TCG where players can collect, trade, and battle with NFT cards to earn token rewards. The gameplay involves strategic deck building and turn-based battles on a grid, with matches lasting approximately three minutes.

The business model centers on the sale of in-game assets, such as NFT mystery boxes and trading cards. Players can acquire cards through various means like collecting, fighting, trading, or synthesizing, with each card holding its own intrinsic value. The platform utilizes a dual-token system: ERA, for governance and marketplace purchases, and GOT, earned through gameplay for in-game activities like upgrading cards. Era7 generates revenue by continuously updating game content, adding new cards, and introducing battle passes.

Era7 completed its seed and first private funding rounds in late 2021, backed by institutional investors including HashKey, MOBOX, Huobi Ventures, OKEx Blockdream Ventures, DAG Ventures, and Tembusu Partners. The company's core team reportedly has over 15 years of experience from established game developers like Com2uS, NCsoft, Nexon, and Netmarble. The board includes members Ge Hongtao and Chen Tai Ying.
