Gaining Momentum

GamerGains is a legitimate, venture-backed ($5.8M Seed in 2022) platform allowing gamers to earn crypto on traditional titles. Investors include Cadenza Ventures and Tiger Global. While the entity has significant verifiable capital traction and a live beta product, the submission quality was extremely poor (claiming 'stealth mode' despite public launch, false 'everyone' reach claims). The project appears to be in a post-hype stagnation phase with low user activity (~50-100 active participants in contests) and negligible token volume, resulting in a score that reflects high potential/funding deeply discounted by a lack of recent growth and poor submission effort.
