Opti Games,

October 23, 2024


Opti Games, known for developing the exciting sports brawler Sparkball built on Moonad, has announced the successful closure of a $2 million funding round, led by L1D. This round also saw contributions from CMS Holdings, Impossible Finance, YGG, and other investors. The funding comes as the company prepares for the fourth quarter, marked by the imminent launch of the anticipated Season Zero of Sparkball. This fundraising effort capitalizes on the momentum generated by their recent decision to build on the Monad platform, with additional backing from the Monad angel group, Purple, along with its CEO, Keone Hon.


Launched nine years ago, Sparkball has undergone a journey of resilience and transformation, emerging as a standout title in the competitive gaming landscape. With a focus on fostering relationships within the gaming community, Opti Games has cultivated a dedicated fanbase that actively champions the game. Through extensive playtesting and engagement with communities such as Wolves DAO, YGG, and SkyGG, Sparkball has developed a reputation for quality and enjoyment, with early supporters expressing confidence in its potential. This funding round is not merely a financial milestone but a testament to the community's belief in Sparkball's vision and gameplay experience.


With the recent influx of capital, Opti Games aims to enhance Sparkball further, preparing for its ambitious Season Zero launch. The initial concept of a simple Player-to-Earn (P2A) campaign has evolved into "Sparkadia," a custom platform designed to support the future of Sparkball. While the $2 million raised may be modest compared to other projects in the space, the Opti Games team prides itself on its ability to deliver exceptional results with limited resources. The company's commitment to creating engaging experiences is unwavering, and they are determined to ensure that Sparkball becomes synonymous with fun and excitement in the gaming community.
