Tanbii Raises $3 Million to Launch Web3 Game Lets You Plant Virtual Trees and See Real Trees Grow
The Californer/10329975

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Nashville, TN — Tanbii, an AI-powered Web3 GameFi platform, today announced it has raised $3 million in pre-seed funding and is launching next week on iOS and Android. In Tanbii, every time a player plants a virtual tree and defeats pollution monsters inside the game, a real tree is funded and planted through verified NGO partners around the world. To date, the platform has already onboarded 25,000 players, who have helped plant more than 25,000 real trees in early access.

Tanbii lowers the barrier for climate action by making contribution fun, accessible and rewarding. Instead of expecting players to measure their carbon footprints, Tanbii delivers one clear loop: play the game → plant in-game → fund a real tree → earn digital rewards you own. Backed by integrations with major wallets including Coinbase and Bitget Wallet, players collect Tanbii Green Tokens and NFTs for each achievement, enabling full ownership and portability of their impact.

"People often think saving the planet has to be hard or costly," said Robert Luo, CEO of Tanbii. "We're proving that you can contribute by doing something you already love: gaming. You plant a tree on our island today, and a real forest starts growing tomorrow."

Tanbii's technology is powered by an AI engine that dynamically adjusts in-game ecosystems and challenges based on player progress and global tree-planting milestones. The game world evolves with every milestone—puzzles change, pollution recedes, new biomes open—keeping players engaged while scaling real-world impact.

Investors say Tanbii bridges two major trends: the booming global gaming market and the urgent need for scalable environmental solutions. With mobile gaming projected to exceed $250 billion by 2028 and green-tech markets expected to surpass $75 billion by 2030, Tanbii positions itself at the intersection of entertainment and meaningful action.

The soft launch begins next week in select regions. Soon, Tanbii will introduce new gameplay zones, limited-edition NFT "Guardian Trees," seasonal events synced with planting schedules, and a marketplace where players can buy, trade and display their achievements.
