Gaming and metaverse-focused venture capital firm Animoca Brands has made an investment in the TON ecosystem and become the largest validator on the TON blockchain.
Hong Kong-based Animoca Brands is assisting third-party gaming projects to build in the ecosystem by supporting TON Play, the network's gaming infrastructure project, according to an announcement on Tuesday.
Animoca declined to provide details on the terms of its investment when contacted by CoinDesk.
