NodeKit 确保共享排序器的预种子

NodeKit has raised $1.2 million in a pre-seed round to develop its shared sequencer on Avalanche Subnet for decentralized rollups. The round was led by Borderless Capital with participation from Avalanche’s Blizzard Fund, Polygon Ventures, Wormhole Cross-Chain Ecosystem Fund, and angel investors such as Avail’s Anurag Arjun. NodeKit's SEQ focuses on optimizing performance, robustness, and interoperability for rollups, thus allowing a decentralized network of validators. "Further, rollups integrating with SEQ will gain new cross-chain interoperability. This interoperability is possible because SEQ orders blocks for multiple rollups, allowing for atomic inclusion using atomic bundles within the same block," the startup said in a statement. SEQ is one of the first initiatives to leverage Avalanche’s HyperSDK toolkit. On testnet, HyperSDK has hit 140,000 transactions per second.

HTX Ventures has not disclosed how much it invested in the companies. However, CESS revealed that the funding round attracted a total of $8 million from various investors, including HTX Ventures. Academic Labs offers education in software development, trading strategies, business English, and startup foundations using adaptive artificial intelligence and NFTs to gamify practical learning. CESS, on the other hand, offers a platform for on-chain data sharing and value transactions, allowing developers to build and deploy DApps. In both rounds, funding will support project’s expansions and product developments.
