About Primodium

Primodium is an empire-building strategy game. Uniquely, the game’s state and logic runs entirely on the blockchain. We chose to build on the blockchain because we believe that it is a new publishing platform that offers opportunities for new game franchises to shine. The game is available in your browser here.

We are a Series A early stage startup. Our team is fully remote and is based in the United States. We currently have a small team of nine, so contributions from each team member are extremely impactful. In addition, we ship updates and iterations on a monthly cadence, which is far higher than traditional game studios, because we believe that getting our product in the hands of our players is the most important thing we can do.

We are backed by leading investors across gaming and crypto like [REDACTED], Makers Fund, a16z Games Speedrun, and Alliance.
