DeFi oraakli protokoll Lithium kogub Pantera ja Hashedi juhtimisel 5 miljonit dollarit

Lithium Finance kogus Pantera Capitali ja Korea plokiahela VC Hashedi juhitud asutamisvoorus 5 miljonit dollarit, et luua detsentraliseeritud andmeoraakli protokoll eravarade hinna määramiseks.

The startup said in a statement on Tuesday that other investors who have backed the round included Alameda Research, Huobi Ventures’ Blockchain Fund, OKEx’s Blockdream Ventures, NGC, LongHash and Genesis Block.

Founded earlier this year, the team behind Lithium touts a plan to build a “collective-intelligence pricing oracle” specifically for relatively illiquid assets such as private equity, pre-IPO stocks. The goal is to have a blockchain-based protocol that can accurately value assets, benefitting other decentralized finance protocols and traders. 

“Bringing non-public valuation data to make it accessible will be a paradigm shift. It will enable tremendous growth and innovation at Trad-Fi and DeFi’s interface and pull the two worlds closer than ever,” added Adrian Lai, CEO of Liquefy Labs. He added that the initial roadmap is to launch the testnet in Q3 and mainnet by the end of the year.

Väljaande kohaselt premeerib protokoll analüütikuid, kes annavad täpset hinnateavet, ja karistades ebatäpsete andmete esitajaid.

Lithium Finance on kolmas projekt, mida inkubeerib Hongkongis asuva investeerimisfirma Liquefy alla kuuluv DeFi haru Liquefy Labs. Seda kasutatakse esialgu Linear Finance'i toetamiseks, mida samuti inkubeerib Liquefy ja mis on kogunud $ 1.8 miljonit detsentraliseeritud sünteetiliste varade vahetamise protokolli loomiseks.

“Bringing real-world assets into the DeFi space is the final frontier of crypto,” said Steve Derezinski, co-Founder of Lithium Finance. “However, this can’t be realized without the right pricing oracle, and the market still hasn’t seen one that’s able to price illiquid real-world assets effectively.”
