Cocos-BCX is built on the basis of Cocos2D-x, whose user base, recall, is 1.1 million developers. The engine has developed projects such as Angry Birds, Badlands and Clash of Kings.
The startup itself was founded by the authors of the engine, and Cocos-BCX is headed by Haozhi Chen, CEO of Chukong Technologies. The latter is the creator and operator of Cocos2D—x.
Who invested and where will the money go?
Among the investors are a number of blockchain funds, such as Binance Labs, NEO Global Capital, as well as 500 Startups, which previously acted as one of the investors of Vungle, Bechance and GitLab.
The funds they have contributed will accelerate the development of the platform, and, as stated, will help Cocos-BCX to enter new markets.
