$43.5M Fuel Injection: KGeN’s Verified Growth Engine Charges AI, DeFi & Gaming Revolution

Another massive funding round shakes the crypto space—KGeN just secured $43.5 million to scale verified growth across three explosive sectors.

The Triple-Thrust Strategy

AI development gets a major capital boost, DeFi protocols gain enhanced verification layers, and gaming ecosystems receive infrastructure upgrades—all powered by KGeN's growing war chest.

Verified Growth or Vaporware?

The platform promises measurable progress tracking while somehow avoiding the 'spray and pray' investment approach that's burned so many crypto funds. Because nothing says sustainable growth like dropping eight figures across multiple bleeding-edge technologies simultaneously.

Watch where that $43.5 million lands—either fueling genuine innovation or just another round of blockchain buzzword bingo.

KGeN Fuels Global Expansion with Fresh Funding

The latest investment follows a $20 million seed round in January 2023 and a $10 million ecosystem round in 2024. The funding will accelerate the global expansion of KGeN’s distribution, commerce, and loyalty infrastructure, now active in over 60 countries.

At the Core of KGeN are its VeriFi Network and the POGE framework. The latter is a privacy-preserving identity and reputation system that verifies real users and composes their engagement on-chain. POGE has aggregated over 876 million data points and supports key protocol services. These include biometric-based user acquisition, programmable on-chain loyalty rewards, and decentralized storefronts via the K-Store.

KGeN reports a network of 38.9 million users, with 6.14 million monthly active users and 780,000 daily active users. Its growing partner ecosystem spans over 200 companies across sectors, generating $48.3 million in annualized revenue.

“KGeN solves the hardest problem in consumer growth: trust. By verifying real users and turning reputation into an asset, we’re giving AI, DeFi, gaming companies and consumer apps a distribution rail that converts and scales,” said Manish Agarwal, Elder Council at KGeN.

The round received strong endorsements from investors.

“Verified users, real traction, and on-chain proofs make KGeN the infrastructure LAYER for the next wave of AI and DeFi,” said Saurabh Sharma, CIO at Jump Crypto.

Pratik Agarwal of Accel added, “Scaling to $48 million in ARR while building a new category is exceptional.”

With this momentum, KGeN aims to solidify its position as the trusted distribution layer for scalable, verifiable user growth across the internet.
