Despite the fast-paced adoption of the current nonfungible token (NFT) innovation or NFT 1.0 among creators and crypto enthusiasts, as well as its future possibilities, there have been certain challenges impeding mainstream adoption of the technology. DareNFT, a universal protocol for a new class of NFTs, has reported a successful closure of its strategic and private sale round. After witnessing participation from up to 50 venture capitalists (VCs) and investors, DareNFT successfully closed the round of $2.4 million.

DareNFT is an NFT 2.0 protocol that aims to ride on the current NFT frenzy, albeit with a little twist to it. Using the fresh capital it landed, the protocol will execute its development strategies and fine-tune its suite of interesting products, which includes a Game Finance (GameFi) platform entitled DarePlay and scheduled as the first MVP to be released.
