Beijing-based Cocos-BCX has raised $40 million for its blockchain game development platform. At the helm are the leaders of Cocos2d-x, one of the largest open-source game development platforms that became popular for the creation of mobile games.

A few years ago, Cocos2d-x had hundreds of thousands of developers developing 2D games for mobile devices. Beijing-based Chukong Technologies, founded in 2010, was the sole maintainer and sponsor of the Cocos engine in its early years, and it bought Cocos in 2013. Cocos2d-x now has 1.1 million developers, with big games such as Angry Birds, Badlands, Fight!, and Clash of Kings.
