The report highlighted a 36% increase in the number of venture capital deals within the web3 sphere during the same period. Notably, a considerable portion of these investments was channelled into projects related to artificial intelligence (AI) and gaming, underscoring a positive shift in investor sentiment towards web3 initiatives. 
Seed round deals emerged as a significant beneficiary of this capital influx, experiencing a robust 53% quarter-over-quarter growth. Furthermore, series A seed funding sustained its upward trajectory from the previous quarter.

This venture capital injection not only provided investors with yield opportunities based on Mezo token holding durations but also positioned Mezo as a key player within the “Bitcoin Economic Layer.”
