We’re proud to announce the launch of GI Advertising Network! 🚀

GI Advertising Network is a self-serve advertising platform that connects brands with one of the most engaged gaming audiences in the world. Backed by Game Informer's 34 years of brand trust and plugged directly into the Gunzilla ecosystem. Here's what it unlocks:

Starting today, advertisers can launch marketing campaigns across Game Informer (Print + Digital), Off The Grid, and soon in third-party titles—all from one platform.

Real products create real value. And that’s exactly what we’re building.

📈 For advertisers:
Reach deeply engaged gaming audiences through organic, in-universe ad experiences—placements that weren’t realistically accessible before. With automated targeting and continuous optimization, campaigns run across a growing network of premium surfaces while staying native to the worlds players actually care about.

🎮 For game developers:
Every game studio can monetize premium in-game placements in a self-serve, performance-driven way—automated, scalable, and brand-safe. This unlocks a new revenue stream on top of game sales and IAP, turning gameplay surfaces into measurable, repeatable profit.

Our position is clear: the Space team must prioritize the interests of the community and public sale participants above all else.

During the most recent X Space, the team publicly committed to enabling refunds via a claim page on January 27. The team also stated that at least 50% of the total capital raised will be refunded, and that all public sale participants will have the option to claim a partial refund. We expect this process to be executed transparently, without delay, and in line with what was publicly communicated.

We also expect comprehensive transparency regarding the use of funds, current balances, and the operational roadmap going forward. This level of disclosure is essential to restoring trust and enabling participants to make informed decisions.

We would like to reiterate that we are not a lead investor in Space and did not participate in structuring, approving, or modifying the public sale. Our investment was minor, and our involvement has been limited to high-level engagement based on publicly available information.

We remain in active discussions with the Space team and other investors and are encouraging the team to refund as much as reasonably possible, consistent with available funds and the commitments they have publicly made. Our priority is ensuring a fair and responsible outcome for public sale participants.

The team has also committed to releasing a first public version of the product next week for community and investor review. We expect this release, alongside the refund process, to be delivered in accordance with what has been communicated.

Dear community, like many of you, we learned about the recent discussions surrounding the Space ICO through Twitter and other public channels.

At this time, we are trying to have a discussion with the Space team to better understand the developments and implications of the situation.

We will make a public statement once we have more clarity and verified information to share.

2026 will be the year of prediction markets - no doubt about it.

Space’s public sale reaching $10.6M committed (4.24× oversubscribed) is another strong confirmation.

We believe prediction markets are entering a phase of real adoption, but only platforms that deliver deep liquidity, capital efficiency, and trader-grade tooling will scale.

Space is built with that in mind:
- Leveraged prediction markets with up to 10x exposure
- Continuous, user-to-user markets enabling real price discovery
- Zero maker fees and capital-efficient liquidity design
- High-performance execution on @Solana

Space is built by a seasoned web3-native team, partnered with @PythNetwork, @Heliuslabs, @solanamobile and validated by strong demand across both the @echodotxyz sale and the current public sale.

Our thesis is simple:
prediction markets evolve into truth infrastructure, and @intodotspace is positioning itself as the base layer, where traders compete, developers build, and long-term value accrues.

$10M milestone achieved.

Final tier of public sale is now active.

Merry Christmas🎄

Excited for what we’ll build together in the year ahead!

[Morningstar Ventures @Morningstar_VC]

Proud of the @ETHGasOfficial team on closing this seed round led by @polychain 👏

We backed ETHGas at the pre-seed stage and believed in the thesis from the early days.

Earlier this year, we hosted a Space with @lepsoe, diving deep into the product and why ETHGas matters for traders, DeFi builders and users: https://t.co/ghukajpNQ9

Today, we’re excited to announce that ETHGas has raised a $12M seed round, led by @Polychain, to build Ethereum’s blockspace futures market.

We’ve also received $800M in commitments from leading Ethereum builders to support ETHGas’ marketplace and product development.

RLUSD is expanding to Layer 2s using @wormhole’s NTT standard for native, secure transfers and will become the first U.S.-based, trust-regulated stablecoin on @Optimism, @Base, @Inkonchain and @Unichain: https://t.co/P3NyGdu5xu

This will enhance utility for XRP and RLUSD by creating premier liquidity pairs with wrapped XRP (wXRP) across these chains.

The multichain future is accelerating.
