Intelligent artificial NPCs

The organic matter DeFi has been searching for

Aperture Labs’s mission is to restore the magic of open networks. To that end, we apply novel cryptography so that maximally on-chain games can survive and thrive.

Multiplayer games and virtual economies are inherently more powerful when they are trustless, composable and built on native financial primitives[1].

In the future, game creators will be free to innovate on top of existing game ecosystems[2], players will benefit from richer, community-led virtual experiences[3] and financiers will find a stable foundation for DeFi by capitalising the organic matter of goal-oriented gameplay[4]. Games will pioneer web3’s flourishing.

To achieve this vision, we need novel computational primitives. Blockchains are the natural foundation on which to build composable, trustless virtual worlds, except for what we all already know - they are inherently slow and at odds with privacy[5]. This is why zero-knowledge proofs that trustlessly attest to fast, offchain, private compute are so important[6]. However, gaps remain in this burgeoning industry.

Aperture Labs’ ZK tooling empowers game creators to enrich their games with vibrant, trustless, intelligent agents. Furthermore, we are developing our own games to test this capability and inspire a community of game devs. Follow our work here.

We have backgrounds from Epic Games, Yahoo, Airbnb & the University of Cambridge. Aperture Labs is supported by Europe’s leading talent incubator[7].
