Egypt-based Gaming platform Cryptyd Raises New Funding

The cryptocurrency company Cryptyd Inc. has announced that it has closed a financing round with both new and returning investors.

The fresh funding round’s proceeds will go toward advertising the company’s core product, Baloot Quest, throughout the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. One of the most played games in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is Baloot, a synchronous multiplayer game that calls for a high degree of expertise.

While there are numerous Baloot games out there, Baloot Quest stands out because to its emphasis on original artwork, gamification of the user experience, and introduction of cultural themes to draw players and encourage friendly competition.
