Bloktopia was brought in by the two co-founders, Ross Tavakoli and Paddy Carroll. Ross Tavakoli, now the CEO of Bloktopia, has been involved in Crypto since 2015. He has extensive experience in retail investment. Paddy Carroll, the CMO of the project, is an experienced marketer who has worked for some of the largest brands in the UK, such as BT Group and Sky.
Besides the co-founders, the team consists of Libby Rothwell and Simon Benson. With over 15 year's experience in the film industry and creating commercial partnerships, Libby is trusted to manage networking and now sits as the CIO of Bloktopia. On the other hand, Simon, who has more than 25 years of experience in development, is the CTO of the project.
The idea of Bloktopia was born when Ross Tavakoli envisioned a platform for crypto traders to transport and immerse themselves in an alternate universe where they can experience virtual reality in a whole new light. Together with his team, Ross developed Bloktopia, a decentralized metaverse that lays out the groundwork for the future of blockchain gaming.
Today, Blocktopia has secured a number of partners and investors. The lead investor of Bloktopia is Animoca Brands. In August 2021, Bloktopia also partnered and received funding from Polygon. Some other notable partners who have backed the project are Venly, Anzu, Babylons, Zokyo, Bitboy, Magnus Capital, and Magic Few.
