Animoca a condus o rundă de strângere de fonduri de 8 milioane USD pentru platforma NFT bazată pe Solana

Animoca led an $8 million fundraising round for a Solana-based NFT platform Burnt Finance that will expectedly expand it and tap new partnerships with other Solana-based projects so let’s read further in our ultimele știri blockchain.

Burnt Finance is a protocol built on Solana and now Animoca led an $8M funding round for it while also launching its own nonfungible token platform. The capital will go towards adding more staff and exploring partnerships with other artists and other Solana-based projects. Burnt Finance known for burning a piece of artwork from Banksy before selling a digitized version as an NFT, said that it also launched its  NFT marketplace that will feature auctions and will allow the users to mint and sell digital assets.

Other investors in the round included Multicoin Capital, Figment, Valor Capital, Cercetarea Alameda, Terra, Fantom, Spartan Capital, and HashKey. Alameda and Multicoin led the protocol’s $3 million fundraising in May and the Burnt Finance team that insists on anonymity noted:

“We are now looking to expand onto other chains such as Terra and Fantom while building out new functionalities that bridge the worlds of DeFi [decentralized finance] with NFTs.”

The team saw the demand for NFT continue to surge with the data from DappRader showing that the NFT market reached $22 billion last year.

As recently reported, Animoca Brands and Binance Smart Chains are launching a $200 million investment program to launch an early crypto-focused gaming project building on BSC. Both entities announced that they are co-investing up to $100 million each to support game projects in the GameFi sector. One of the largest blockchain ecosystems, BSC will be investigating from the $1 billion accelerator arm for Defi, NFT, and GameFi. The fund was set earlier this year to expand the BSC ecosystem services and to drive mainstream adoption across the fintech sector.

Lympo, filiala Animoca Brands, este o platformă NFT specializată în baterea de obiecte de colecție legate de sport și acum a pierdut 18 milioane de dolari din cauza unui hack al portofelelor sale fierbinți. Potrivit unei postări Medium care a anunțat încălcarea securității, echipa a remarcat că a pierdut 165 de milioane de jetoane LMT după ce un hacker a reușit să obțină acces la portofelul operațional principal al subsidiarei Lympo. Acesta a adăugat că alte 10 proiecte care colaborează cu Lympo sunt ambele compromise în atac. Hackerul a schimbat jetoanele furate cu ETH la uniswap și sushiswap înainte de a le trimite la un portofel neidentificat după ce le-ai amestecat la un mixer cripto.
