Axiom Zen describes itself as a startup that builds startups, combining elements of a startup, a VC firm, and an incubator. Its most prominent product, CryptoKitties, launched in 2017 and drew enough user activity to congest the Ethereum network. The project was subsequently spun out into a standalone company, Dapper Labs, in 2018, with an initial raise of $12 million led by Union Square Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz. Venrock is also among the backers of the broader ecosystem.
Axiom Zen has remained affiliated with several consumer-facing NFT platforms that emerged from the Dapper Labs ecosystem, including NBA Top Shot, NFL ALL DAY, and the Flow blockchain. NBA Top Shot became the subject of a legal dispute, Friel v. Dapper Labs, in which plaintiffs alleged that NBA Top Shot Moments were sold as unregistered securities, a case framed as an NFT securities-law dispute. Axiom Zen has published 1,867 posts and has been mentioned by 61 accounts a total of 217 times, with 7,268 followers as of August 2026 on the platform.
