One of the more significant pieces of news in the Tezos gaming ecosystem happened recently. Quantix Capital announced its partnership with TZ APAC and plans to invest up to $1M into Tezos gaming and related projects.

TZ APAC partnership and $1M gaming pledge #
Quantix Capital is a Web3 venture fund that also serves as a startup accelerator that addresses the mass disconnect between founders and the resources available to them. Established in the UAE but working worldwide, Quantix is not only about investment but is more concerned with developing unique strategies for projects in the Web3 space.
As a partner rather than just an investor, Quantix helps innovators tackle diverse problems and shape the future of the Web3 space. As per Quantix, Europe has a highly fragmented ecosystem and has a vision for how Web3 should be developed. The company provides access to its founders’ networks of significant venture funds, exchanges, and customized ecosystem partners.
It provides customers with management services, market management, token strategies, and fundraising activities through its Advanced Token Advisory Program (ATAP). Not just an incubator or an accelerator, Quantix expects to be deeply engaged in each phase of a project’s life cycle and gives teams the support needed to succeed in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
Quantix’s distinctive ability stems from the experience of its team, who have built, incubated, and deployed into more than 75 early-stage Web3 companies.
Given the synergies with TZ APAC, Quantix Capital aims to establish an active ecosystem in the Tezos gaming space where developers and players enjoy the benefits of low transaction costs and on-chain upgradability. The partnership effectively lays the groundwork for the growth of blockchain gaming, including a $1M pledge.

I got to chat with some of the people behind Quantix Capital. Through their partnership with TZ APAC, Jeremy Foo, the Global Head of Gaming, was nice enough to help paint more color around this partnership and Quantix Capital’s plans for the Tezos gaming ecosystem.
What specific factors led Quantix Capital to invest $1 million in Tezos for gaming development?
Our decision to invest in Tezos was driven by its highly adaptable blockchain architecture, ideal for gaming.

This investment is focused on fostering innovation to set new standards for the blockchain gaming industry.
How does Quantix Capital identify and select gaming projects within the Tezos ecosystem for investment?
We take a rigorous approach to selection, focusing on projects with clear roadmaps, experienced development teams, and innovative gameplay mechanics that showcase blockchain’s unique capabilities. We prioritize projects with strong community engagement and growth potential, as a vibrant user base is essential for long-term success.
Beyond financial backing, what additional support does Quantix Capital provide to Tezos-based gaming projects?

What impact does Quantix Capital anticipate this investment will have on the Tezos gaming landscape over the next few years?
We expect this investment to increase visibility and innovation in the Tezos gaming space, attracting both developers and players. Over the next few years, we foresee a thriving ecosystem of games that redefine digital ownership, offer unique experiences, and drive broader adoption of Tezos within the blockchain community.
How does Quantix Capital plan to involve the broader Tezos community in the development and success of these gaming projects?
We plan to engage the Tezos community through initiatives like the Tezos Shark Tank (coming soon on X), beta testing opportunities, and governance mechanisms that allow users to contribute to game development and updates. Community feedback will be vital, fostering a collaborative ecosystem where players and developers shape the future of Tezos-based gaming together.
Is this $1 million investment part of a larger strategy to fund blockchain gaming, and can we expect similar initiatives in the future?
Yes, this investment is part of a broader strategy to support blockchain-based gaming, particularly within ecosystems with strong technology and active communities like Tezos. We view gaming as a high-potential sector in Web3, and we will continue investing in projects that push the boundaries of blockchain in interactive entertainment.
What key performance indicators will Quantix Capital use to assess the success of this investment in Tezos gaming projects?
Our key KPIs include active user growth, in-game transaction volume, community engagement metrics, and retention rates. We’re also monitoring ecosystem expansion — specifically, how our investments contribute to Tezos’s developer base and broader adoption. Success means creating a thriving, sustainable ecosystem that benefits players, developers, and the Tezos blockchain.
