Cross-chain NFT marketplace for blockchain gaming. Co-founded and led product/engineering. Raised $9M seed, reached 140k+ wallets and 80k+ MAU. Featured as a Google Cloud case study.
Lootex was a gamer-centric, cross-chain NFT marketplace — "Loot + Exchange." The mission was simple: give digital asset ownership back to the players.
The platform specialized in blockchain gaming assets with interfaces designed for characters, equipment, cards, and in-game items — not generic art-focused NFT browsing.
Key features:
Backed by Spartan Capital, Infinity Ventures Crypto, LD Capital, Akatsuki, Polygon Studio, HTC, Huobi Ventures, and angel investors including Kevin Lin (Twitch co-founder), Holly Liu (Kabam co-founder), and Patrick Lee (Rotten Tomatoes co-founder).
The NFT market shifted dramatically. Lootex shut down in March 2026 after 8 years of operation. All on-chain smart contracts continue to function — user assets were never custodied.
