区块链游戏研发公司从众多加密VC机构筹集了180万美元的资金，其中包括Galaxy Digital以及其Galaxy EOS VC Fund部门、Kleiner Perkins及 SVK Crypto。
该笔资金将注资Azarus，用以建立其自身的游戏网络“smart challenge”，一个建立于EOS区块链的专属Twitch插件，该插件允许用户通过竞争性游戏挑战竞争数字资产。
该平台通过邀请Twitch主播（streamer）及其粉丝参与以流数据为基础的游戏，以此进行运作。获胜者将会获得代币，代币兑换成游戏内的物品、货币及其他Azarus市场的数字资产。
此外，一个试点项目将允许选中的streamer向正确回答各自stream问题的观众发放代币。每一项挑战都在区块链上进行了公证，包括执行和解决所使用的数据。
“Azarus对区块链技术以及EOSIO协议的应用正好诠释了我们对Galaxy EOS VC Fund投资资金的计划：一款可扩展的、对客户友好的游戏平台，并且该平台以区块链技术为保证，”Galaxy Digital联合创始人 Sam Englebardt在一次发言中如此说道，“我们十分信任该团队的愿景和执行能力。”
Azarus的“smart challenge”平台于2018年底推出，仅在Rainbow 6 Siege streams运作，该平台计划推广至其他游戏。

Azarus, a blockchain game developer, raised $1.8 million in funding from several crypto VC institutions including Galaxy Digital via its Galaxy EOS VC Fund, Kleiner Perkins, and SVK Crypto.
The money will fund Azarus’ efforts to build out its game network “smart challenge,” a proprietary Twitch plug-in built on the EOS blockchain, which allows users to compete for digital assets through competitive gaming challenges.
The platform operates by inviting Twitch streamers and their fans to participate in games based around streaming data. Winners are rewarded with tokens that can be redeemed for in-game items, currencies, and other digital assets in the Azarus marketplace.

Additionally, a pilot program will allow select streamers to award tokens to their viewers for correctly answering questions about their streams. Every challenge is notarized on the blockchain, including the data used to execute and resolve it.
“Azarus’ implementation of blockchain tech and the EOSIO protocol is precisely what we look to invest in from the Galaxy EOS VC Fund: a scalable and consumer-friendly gaming platform that demonstrates the promise of blockchain technology,” said Sam Englebardt, cofounder of Galaxy Digital, in a statement. “We have tremendous confidence in the team’s vision and ability to execute.”
Launched in late 2018, Azarus’s “smart challenge” platform only operates works with Rainbow 6 Siege streams, with plans to expand to other games.
