Read full description

The core of ZEBEDEE's business is a payment processing platform that empowers game developers to integrate real-money economies into their games. This is achieved by allowing any in-game event to trigger an instant micropayment. The company utilizes the Bitcoin Lightning Network to facilitate these transactions, which can be as small as a fraction of a cent, with minimal fees. ZEBEDEE's revenue model is based on a 1% fee on all in-game transactions. The company serves game developers and studios of all sizes, from independent creators to large corporations like Square Enix, which is also an investor.

ZEBEDEE offers a suite of products for both developers and gamers. For developers, the primary offering is a developer dashboard with API-based tools and an SDK for integrating Bitcoin rewards into games. For gamers, the company provides the ZBD app, which functions as a custodial wallet for sending, receiving, and earning Bitcoin through gameplay and other activities. The platform supports a variety of games, including titles like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, as well as casual mobile games. Beyond gaming, ZEBEDEE has expanded its ecosystem to include Bitcoin-rewarded shopping through partnerships with companies like Rewards Bunny. The company has also developed tools like ZBD Bots for Discord and Telegram, and ZBD Streamer for content creators to receive tips.
