Jump Crypto, Accel, and Prosus Ventures lead $43.5m fundraising round for KGeN

Web3 protocol KGeN has raised millions in a recent funding round, aimed at supporting and expanding its operations.

Summary
  • KGeN secured $13.5 million in a new strategic round led by Jump Crypto, Accel, and Prosus Ventures, bringing total funding to $43.5 million.
  • The funds will support the expansion of its Verified Distribution Protocol, infrastructure stack, and loyalty framework across over 60+ countries.
  • The protocol verifies real users and turns reputation into a portable, on-chain asset across AI, DeFi, and gaming ecosystems.

According to a statement shared with crypto.news, KGeN, a protocol focused on verified user distribution for Web3 applications, has raised $13.5 million in a strategic funding round.

Investors in the round include Jump Crypto, Accel, and Prosus Ventures, bringing the total funding raised by the company to $43.5 million, following a $20 million seed round in January 2023 and a $10 million ecosystem round in November 2024.

The project said the funds will be used to expand its identity and reputation framework, known as POGE, which supports user acquisition, commerce, and loyalty programs on-chain.

KGeN operates in more than 60 countries with 38.9 million verified users, generating $48.3 million in annualized revenue and serving around 780,000 daily active users.

Jump Crypto CIO Saurabh Sharma said KGeN’s model introduces more accountability into digital distribution, while Accel and Prosus Ventures noted the project’s ability to deliver scale and measurable interactions.

What is KGeN?

At the heart of the protocol is POGE, a privacy-preserving identity and reputation framework. POGE collects engagement data to support verified user acquisition, helping developers track participation in DeFi projects, games, and other Web3 applications.

KGeN positions this approach as an alternative to Web2-style advertising and user acquisition, which often relies on anonymous or low-quality data. The protocol is also active on the Aptos blockchain, where it has over 18 million users and high transaction volumes.

With the new funding, it aims to expand its infrastructure and support more projects focused on verified and incentivized user growth.

(Photo by Paul Natkin/Getty Images) Getty Images Singer Lou Gramm has a vivid memory of recording the ballad “Waiting for a Girl Like You” at New York City’s Electric Lady Studio for his band Foreigner more than 40 years ago. Gramm was adding his vocals for the track in the control room on the other side of the glass when he noticed a beautiful woman walking through the door. “She sits on the sofa in front of the board,” he says. “She looked at me while I was singing. And every now and then, she had a little smile on her face. I’m not sure what that was, but it was driving me crazy. “And at the end of the song, when I’m singing the ad-libs and stuff like that, she gets up,” he continues. “She gives me a little smile and walks out of the room. And when the song ended, I would look up every now and then to see where Mick [Jones] and Mutt [Lange] were, and they were pushing buttons and turning knobs. They were not aware that she was even in the room. So when the song ended, I said, ‘Guys, who was that woman who walked in? She was beautiful.’ And they looked at each other, and they went, ‘What are you talking about? We didn’t see anything.’ But you know what? I think they put her up to it. Doesn’t that sound more like them?” “Waiting for a Girl Like You” became a massive hit in 1981 for Foreigner off their album 4, which peaked at number one on the Billboard chart for 10 weeks and…
