Somnia has partnered with Uprising Labs to launch a six-month gaming accelerator designed to advance Web3 gaming. Backed by a $10 million grant, this program aims to support developers and strengthen decentralized gaming ecosystems by providing mentorship, funding, and resources.

The accelerator will help game studios refine their ideas, secure funding, and access educational resources tailored to web3 gaming. Uprising Labs, known for its 'fun-first' approach, will provide direct mentorship and strategic guidance to developers. 

The program also includes funding assistance, ensuring promising projects get the financial backing they need. Participants will have access to on-demand classes covering essential topics such as blockchain integration, game mechanics, and Web3 go-to-market strategies.

A key aspect of the initiative is Club, a new component aimed at making web3 gaming more accessible. It promotes connections between developers, investors, and gaming enthusiasts, offering exclusive insights, networking opportunities, and early access to select gaming projects. Club aims to create a collaborative environment that benefits both developers and players by providing critical industry insights and support.
