Jason Fung, the former boss of TikTok’s gaming arm, is setting up his own blockchain firm. Fung will be one of the two co-founders of Meta0, which aims to help developers build Web3 games, Reuters reported.
Meta0 will offer “a more interoperable option” for game builders, who are usually constrained to a single blockchain. Fung said that the startup has finished its first round of funding, but he kept the name of the other co-founder under wraps and didn’t offer details about the six other members of the founding team.
“With a protocol that we’re developing, developers can easily build their game-leveraging strengths of different blockchains, and allow the user the flexibility of transferring their NFTs cross-chain,” Fung told Reuters.
Before his two-year stint at Tiktok, Fung worked at Alibaba as an esports executive and headed competitive gaming for Electronic Arts.
