Beamable raises $13.5M in Series A led by Bitkraft to advance decentralized gaming infrastructure

Decentralized gaming infrastructure platform Beamable has raised $13.5 million in a Series A funding round led by Bitkraft Ventures. 

The new capital raise aims to accelerate the development and expansion of the Beamable Network, a decentralized physical infrastructure network ( DePIN ) designed to transform how games' backend infrastructure is built and operated.

"By leveraging the proven success of our existing platform and integrating decentralized principles, we’re unlocking a new era of scalability and inclusivity for developers," Beamable CEO Jon Radoff said.

The Beamable Network seeks to transform live gaming support by reducing reliance on centralized hyperscalers .

"By decentralizing resources—computing power, storage, and network bandwidth—the network enables a more cost-effective and robust alternative to traditional server platforms," a press release on Monday said. "This is achieved through tokenized incentives that align contributors and users, creating a community-driven infrastructure model."

The press release predicted that "at launch, the network is projected to rank as a top-10 DePIN project by revenue, thanks to the existing demand for its infrastructure among games already running on Beamable’s technology."

With millions of users and billions of API calls served to date, the company said the network will enhance scalability, cost efficiency, and resilience across the gaming industry.

Bitkraft Ventures General Partner Carlos Pereira expressed confidence in Beamable’s potential to drive the next wave of decentralized infrastructure.

“We believe Beamable is uniquely positioned to set a new standard for decentralized infrastructure in gaming,” said Pereira. “Its proven technology and built-in demand, combined with the disruptive potential of DePIN, create a unique opportunity to empower game developers—across Web2 and Web3—to build, grow, and scale successfully.”

Investors in the funding round included Arca, Advancit Capital, 2Punks, P2 Ventures, Solana Foundation , Scytale Digital, defy.vc, GrandBanks Capital and Permit Ventures.
