AKEDO: AI tools for Web3 gaming
AKEDO was founded in 2024 in Zug, Switzerland Akedoga ‘tap-to-earn’ game from Telegram. Since then, it has evolved into a broader ecosystem based on what the company calls a “multi-agent AI framework.”
AKEDO builds AI agents directly into game engines. Instead of coding, players can type a short prompt and see a full game take shape in minutes. Something the team believes is about a hundred times faster and cheaper than using standard AI models.
To illustrate, AKEDO has described the platform as “TikTok meets Roblox on the blockchain,” aiming to combine user-generated content with on-chain ownership and crypto rewards.

Multi-chain design and rewards
The AKE token is issued on Solana, but AKEDO also connects to TON, BNB, Bera and DuckChain. The “PlayDrop” feature allows players to earn rewards in multiple cryptocurrencies including DOGE, BNB, USDT and others.
This interoperability aims to open the platform to more players and connect their in-game activities with real crypto rewards.
Spotlight Token Sale Terms
Through KuCoin Spotlight, participants can purchase AKE tokens at 80% of the Fully Diluted Valuation from the previous funding round, with an additional 10% discount for KCS subscriptions. Oversubscription is supported, with proportional allocation to ensure all participants receive tokens, KuCoin said announcement.
The sale also includes a principal protection buyback, meaning KuCoin will step in to limit losses if the project underperforms. It’s part of the exchange’s attempt to combine early access with investor safeguards.
The broader role of KuCoin
KuCoin was launched in 2017 and now serves over 41 million users in over 200 countries. The exchange holds more than 1,000 assets and offers services including a Web3 wallet, spot and futures trading, institutional tools and payments. Forbes ranked KuCoin among the “Best Crypto Apps and Exchanges.”
KuCoin has also upgraded Spotlight with a revamped user interface, dual-crypto support, and staking features, strengthening its role as a starting point for early-stage Web3 ventures.
The AKEDO Spotlight sale offers early access to a gaming platform that relies on AI to speed creation and reward players across multiple chains. For KuCoin, it’s another example of how Spotlight is used to bring experimentation Web3 projects for a global audience.
