Router Protocol completes oversubscribed strategic funding round by Router Protocol.
Router Protocol is pleased to announce that it has completed an oversubscribed strategic
funding round with participation from prominent cryptangels and funds.
The primary goal of the strategic round was to thoughtfully expand routers captable with
crypto operators who deeply understand the importance of cross-chain infrastructure and can accelerate the
ecosystem growth as router evolves into a layer one blockchain. Router Protocol is honored to
welcome an exceptional group of accomplished founders and Web3 executives as angels and
advisors, including Keoni Hun, Monad, Parker Ju, Caldera, Amrit Kumar, Altlayer, Aniket, Biconomy, Anurag Arjun,
Avail, Amite, Stater, Ravindra, Frontier, and several others. In a testament to the unwavering
belief in its vision, Router Protocol also received overwhelming support from existing investors,
including heavyweight players such as Wintermute Ventures, Woodstock, DeFi Capital, Crypto Banter, RavenDAO, and Luganodes. Other renowned advisors
and angels include Zaki Manian, Sommelier, Cosmos, Ajit Tripathi, Achainyota, Gokul Rajaram, Google,
DoorDash, and Surajit Chatterjee, Coinbase, Google, Flipkart, EMA. The proceeds from this
funding round will be deployed strategically to fuel the development and highly anticipated
launch of the router chain MainEd. Router chain is set to revolutionize value transfer by
abstracting away blockchain complexity and unlocking a new era of frictionless cross-chain
applications and user experiences. Router chain embodies the evolution of our unwavering vision to build the universal
interconnectivity layer between fragmented L1 per liter 2 networks, said Ramani Ramachandran,
CEO of Router Protocol. By abstracting away blockchain complexity, we are laser-focused
on delivering the most seamless and intuitive user and developer experience for multi-chain
applications. This funding round propels us closer to realizing this transformative vision.
Router Protocol's mantra has always been, developers first. Its mission is TomePower
builders to focus on bringing their groundbreaking ideas to life, rather than grappling with
infrastructure complexities. Router Chain will provide a robust suite of flexible interoperability
primitives, including its innovative cross-chain intent framework and developer-friendly toolkits,
to make this vision a reality. We are thrilled to witness the rapid expansion of our ecosystem,
with trailblazing cross-chain projects like StakeEase, FolioX, and many more leveraging
our interoperability primitives to push the boundaries of what's possible, said Shubham Singh, CTO of Router Protocol. In a major milestone, Router Protocol
launched Router Nitro, a super-fast, gas-efficient, intent-based cross-chain bridge powered by an
innovative reverse verification mechanism. Nitro Bridge crossed $350 million volume in the past four months, over 650k plus transactions,
and almost 300k unique users. To further accelerate ecosystem growth,
Router Protocol is thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of the Router Ecosystem Grants
Program, which will provide substantial financial support and resources to promising projects
building on Routerchain. Moreover, the project's recently revamped
tokenomics empowers ITTO aggressively focus on community engagement, ecosystem expansion,
and the promotion of exciting new cross-chain primitives that will redefine the landscape
of interoperability. The oversubscribed round demonstrates the demand for high-value Web3
infrastructure and marks a crucial step in routers' maturation from a bridge solution
to a core web3
connecting layer. Backing from this expanded group of partners will aid in evangelizing
routers vision and unique value proposition to a global audience. Thank you for listening to
