KGeN posts Q1 ARR of $83.5 million...up 300% YoY

KGeN, a decentralized verification-based distributed protocol, disclosed its first-quarter performance metrics on the 26th.

KGeN said its annual recurring revenue (ARR) for the first quarter of this year came to $83.5 million, up 309% from a year earlier.

In particular, KGeN was found to have shown relatively high efficiency in its enterprise value-to-revenue ratio. Its fully diluted valuation (FDV) currently stands at about $182 million, roughly 2.1 times its ARR.

KGeN has accumulated a total of 1.12 billion user attribute data points based on verified user data from around 52.7 million people. It is monetizing this across areas including its AI data service (KAI), game distribution and user verification infrastructure. Structural revenue generation through its proprietary framework POGE (Proof of Gamified Engagement) is cited as a key strength.

A KGeN official said, "KGeN is not just a gaming project, but a data and verification infrastructure spanning AI and consumer services overall," adding, "Through a structure that generates revenue across diverse industries, it is demonstrating a growth path distinct from the cycle of the existing virtual asset market."

The official continued, "Web3 is no longer about expectations of future value; it is evolving into industrial infrastructure that generates revenue today," adding, "Amid this shift, KGeN will establish itself as a project that sets the benchmark for valuations based on tangible performance."
