Radius Raises $1.7M in Pre-Seed Funding to Pioneer Trustless Shared Sequencing Layer
San Francisco, CA, June 22nd, 2023, Chainwire
Cutting-edge blockchain company, Radius, pioneering the trustless shared sequencing layer, has announced that it has raised a pre-seed investment of $1.7M. The funding round was led by Hashed, with participation from Superscrypt, Lambdaclass (Ergodic Fund), and Crypto.com.
As rollups become more popular for many applications, including defi, due to their scalability, properly decentralizing its operation and structuring economical design has become the next central point for the rollup-centric ecosystem; Shared Sequencing Layer has arisen as the ultimate solution.
Radius is dedicated to providing an economical and sustainable solution for Rollups, protecting their users from harmful Miner Extractable Value (MEV). This is achieved through a groundbreaking zk scheme known as Practical Verifiable Delay Encryption (PVDE), developed by Radius. The shared sequencing layer with PVDE ensures that users are protected from harmful MEV in a truly trustless way while still maximizing revenue for Rollups.
"Radius is committed to setting the standard for a trustless shared sequencing layer that not only maximizes revenue for Rollups but also safeguards users from the harmful effects of MEV," says AJ Ji Hoon Park. "This funding will propel us forward in achieving our goals and redefining the boundaries of what is possible in the blockchain sphere."
Radius has also recently announced a partnership with Saga, the Rollup-as-a-Service, and has joined the Celestia Ecosystem. This partnership will drive further advancements in the roll-up technology and enhance the security of the blockchain ecosystem.
In addition to these achievements, Radius is building an MEV-Resistant Decentralized Exchange known as 360. Enabled by Radius' shared sequencing layer, this new DEX is expected to significantly enhance the user experience and security in the DeFi space.
Continuing its engagement with the broader blockchain community, Radius recently hosted a conference called "Scaling 2023: The Renaissance". The event featured renowned speakers from companies such as Starkware, Flashbots, and Osmosis, further solidifying Radius' position as a thought pioneer.
