Battle Royale with Culture: The African Gaming Startup Making Waves
Ethiopian founder Kanessa Muluneh transforms the 1896 Battle of Adwa into Rise of Fearless, a play-to-earn battle royale with Web3 and African heritage. Built by ex-Axie Infinity devs, it features spears, shields, and textile-inspired NFTs with Amharic voice-overs. Closing $700K funding with a 2,500+ community, Muluneh positions Ethiopia as a force in Africa’s $1.8B gaming market with billion-dollar ambitions.
