Layzr receives investment from Atlantic Labs

The NFT trading card start-up intends to use the investment to conquer the gaming and e-sports sector in particular.

According to the website German Startups has invested in Layzr. This is a start-up from Munich that focuses on "NFTs in the form of trading cards". The main target group: streamers in the gaming sector and e-sports enthusiasts. The amount of the investment is not known.

Fans will be able to use Layzr's technology to support stars on various platforms by collecting and exchanging NFT trading cards. NFT stands for non-fungible token. These tokens represent files in the blockchain. With NFTs, people can own, buy and sell digital files - primarily works of art. Each NFT has only one owner - even if anyone can theoretically download them.

Streamers in particular have been trading NFTs on a large scale for some time. However, NFT platforms such as Opensea.io have a complicated structure. There are traps, especially for crypto newcomers. Fraud is often lurking, for example in the form of copyright infringements. Layzr wants to make trading NFT trading cards safer and easier.

Peter Krysta, Tom Lamsfuß and Tom Segbers founded Layzr in 2021. The trading card concept is modeled on proven analog offerings such as Panini albums, Pokemon cards and co.
