  • The platform has received investments of $6.5 million from venture capital firms including Tioga Capital, Semantic Ventures, Cherry Ventures, Starkware, and Cyber fund. Funding has also come from Lido founder Konstantin Lomashuk and Revolut executives.
  • It is worth mentioning that Revolut recently partnered with MetaMask, further demonstrating the growing interest in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
