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.
The venture capital arm of crypto exchange HTX (formerly Huobi) invested in at least two new companies in December. According to announcements, HTX Ventures portfolio now includes Academic Labs, a platform that uses AI and Web3 technology for digital assets education, and Cumulus Encrypted Storage System (CESS), a blockchain-powered decentralized storage and content delivery network (CDN) infrastructure for Web3. 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.
The Interchain Foundation (ICF) announced a $26.4 million budget for its funding program in 2024. According to an announcement, the capital will be used to maintain and develop the Interchain Stack, an open-source and decentralized blockchain ecosystem or blockchain-based apps and services. Projects underwritten by the program include Binary Builders, Confio, Cosmology, Informal Systems, Strangelove Ventures, and Zondax. The Interchain Foundation supports the Cosmos network and its ecosystem. Its roadmap for the coming months includes expanding composability of the Cosmos SDK, as well as investments on the CometBFT platform, on the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol, along with funding for the smart contract framework CosmWasm, for the CosmJS library, and security audits for the Interchain Stack.
