KGeN Secures $13.5M Led by Jump Crypto, Accel & Prosus to Build VeriFi Validation Network for AI, DeFi & Gaming

KGeN has completed a $13.5 million strategic financing round led by Jump Crypto, Accel and Prosus Ventures, bringing total capital raised to $43.5 million. The company said the proceeds will accelerate development of the VeriFi network, a validation distribution protocol aimed at supporting AI, DeFi and gaming applications.

The firm’s protocol system, business stack and loyalty infrastructure now span more than 60 countries, providing developers an on‑chain anti‑bot distribution layer that validates real users by linking engagement, business behavior and reputation. KGeN frames VeriFi as a mechanism to create measurable distribution and anti‑fraud capabilities for consumer and enterprise deployments.

Operational metrics reported include 38.9 million protocol users, 6.14 million monthly active users and 780,000 daily active users, alongside partnerships with over 200 revenue partners and annual revenue of $48.3 million. The 95‑person team supports global operations following prior financing rounds, including a $20 million seed in January 2023 and a $10 million ecosystem round in November 2024.
