This article covers Power Protocol, a London-based blockchain startup, which has raised £2.2m in a seed funding round from BITKRAFT Ventures. The investment is intended to expand shared infrastructure and token utility across multiple game titles, supporting UK and European game developers, studios and players exploring cross-title digital-asset economies.
Power Protocol, a London-based blockchain startup, has raised £2.2m ($3m) in a seed funding round from BITKRAFT Ventures. The investment lifts the company’s total funding to £11.4m ($15.4m) and will be used to expand shared infrastructure and token utility across multiple game titles after traction in an open beta.
The round underlines continued investor interest in infrastructure that supports shared digital assets and cross-title economies for games. As studios look for ways to reuse assets and extend player lifecycles, platforms that promise common back-end services and token mechanics could reduce duplication and speed up live-service features across titles.
For UK and European game developers, a locally headquartered provider of blockchain infrastructure can also simplify partnerships and integration compared with distant or fragmented offerings.
Power Protocol is built by Pixion Studios and centres on a shared infrastructure that connects games, studios, players, and digital assets. Its ecosystem is powered by the $POWER token and anchored by Fableborne, an action role playing game that serves as the project’s flagship title.
The platform is designed to support multiple game titles, handle in-game economies, and enable live-service features while giving players ownership over digital assets. That combination aims to make it easier for studios to deploy token-based mechanics and for players to carry value between experiences inside the same ecosystem.
The round was made by BITKRAFT Ventures, a venture firm focused on gaming and interactive entertainment, which invested £2.2m ($3m) in this seed round. Power Protocol did not disclose other participating investors in the announcement.
BITKRAFT’s involvement aligns with its strategy of backing projects that address infrastructure and tooling gaps in gaming and web3. For Power Protocol, the capital is pitched toward expanding shared services and increasing token utility across titles — outcomes that would make the platform more attractive to studios and players alike.
If you're researching potential backers in this space:
Power Protocol said the funding will go towards expanding its shared infrastructure and developing token utility across multiple titles following open beta traction. The company frames the round as a step to accelerate adoption among studios and to broaden the range of experiences connected to the $POWER token.
Pixion Studios remains the developer behind the protocol and continues to operate Fableborne as the ecosystem’s anchor title while enabling other projects to join the network.
This seed round is one of several recent bets on gaming infrastructure and token-enabled economies in Europe. While headline consumer-facing blockchain games have struggled with adoption and regulation, investor interest persists in backend technologies that reduce complexity for developers.
Power Protocol’s London base and its focus on reusable infrastructure position it to work closely with UK and European studios exploring token mechanics and cross-title economies. The outcome will depend on studio uptake, user retention for tokenised features, and how regulators in the region treat in-game token models.
