While the concept behind Merit Circle is not entirely new, the project itself is a leading DAO with the goal to maximize value accrual across different games in the metaverse. Its platform is at the intersection of capital, expertise and players — representing investors, platform and managers — and of course, gamers.

The returns that the project has the potential to make will be able to translate into potentially life-changing income for some of the gamers engaging with it. The players have recognized the value of the project and the scholarship program that was created for them, and there are already over 500 scholars currently playing Axie Infinity.

There are already significant revenues that are flowing into the Circle of Merit, which benefits the DAO itself, as well as players and liquidity providers. More are expected to come, especially since Merit Circle DAO will now start focusing on other opportunities in the metaverse through new games.

Furthermore, Merit Circle boasts an impressive list of partners, including DeFiance Capital, Spartan Group, Yield Guild Games and more. These and others are all industry-leading names, who have praised Merit Circle for building a scalable operational process that can effectively grow, onboard, and sustain new members. In fact, DeFiance Capital’s Arthur said that DeFiance believes that “Merit Circle will be among the top guilds that will be kingmakers in this land.”

All of the partners, plus a number of angel investors, supported the company during its seed round, helping it raise $4.5 million
