Layzr receives investment from Atlantic Labs

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

According to the website, the Berlin-based early-stage financier Atlantic Labs has invested in Layzr. German startups 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 support stars on different platforms through Layzr's technology by collecting and exchanging NFT trading cards. NFT stands for non-fungible tokens. These tokens map files on the blockchain. With NFTs, people can own, buy and sell digital files - including mainly artworks. Each NFT has only one owner - even though anyone can theoretically download them.

Streamers in particular have been trading NFTs on a large scale for some time. However, NFT platforms like Opensea.io are complicated to set up. There are pitfalls, especially for crypto newbies. Fraud often lurks, for example in the form of copyright infringement. Layzr wants to make trading NFT trading cards safer and easier.

In 2021, Peter Krysta, Tom Lamsfuß and Tom Segbers had founded Layzr. Models for the trading card concept are proven analog offerings such as Panini albums, Pokemon cards and Co.
