Company Brief

Company History

MetaLedgerLabs FZ-LLC was incorporated in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Free Zone in Q2 2025. The company was founded by Marcus Chen (ex-Axie Infinity) and Richard Osei (ex-ConsenSys) with a specific mandate: to build the infrastructure layer that makes Web3 game economies viable at institutional scale.

The founding team identified a structural gap in the Web3 gaming market: while several general-purpose blockchains had been adapted for gaming use, none had been designed from first principles around the economics, UX requirements, and regulatory constraints of game studio operations. MetaLedgerLabs was built to fill that gap.

In Q4 2025, the company deployed its protocol alpha and onboarded 10 studio design partners. In Q2 2026, MetaLedger Chain will be launched on mainnet, reaching $500M in cumulative in-game economy volume within 90 days — without a single critical security incident. By Q1 2026, the company had integrated 120+ studios, employed 80+ specialists across Dubai, Seoul, and London, and settled $2.8B in in-game economic activity in the preceding 90 days.

Business Model

MetaLedgerLabs operates a protocol revenue model with three primary income streams:

Protocol Fees

Studios pay a 0.5% settlement fee on all marketplace transactions processed through MetaLedger infrastructure. At current volume ($2.8B/90 days), this generates approximately $14M per quarter at current run-rate.

SDK Licensing

Enterprise SDK licensing for studios requiring custom SLAs, dedicated infrastructure, and white-label wallet solutions. Tiered from $5,000/month (Growth) to $50,000/month (Enterprise).

Economy Consulting

Tokenomics design sprints, economy health audits, and ongoing advisory retainers for studios requiring expert guidance. Average engagement value: $75,000.

Market Positioning

MetaLedgerLabs occupies a distinct position as the infrastructure provider to Web3 game studios — analogous to Stripe's position relative to e-commerce merchants. We do not compete with studios for players. We enable studios to serve their players better, faster, and more sustainably than they could without our infrastructure.
