Phantom zbere 9 milijonov dolarjev za lansiranje večverižne kripto denarnice

Cryptocurrency wallet provider Phantom has secured $9 million in Series A financing to launch a new multi-chain wallet designed to help decentralized finance (DeFi) users access decentralized applications (DApps) across multiple blockchains. 

The raise comes on the heels of a successful beta launch in April of this year that saw 40,000 new Phantom users. The company also secured $500,000 in grants from Serum and Solana during the beta phase. 

Brandon Millman, Phantom’s co-founder and CEO, said his platform enables users to easily access decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and nezamenljivi žeton (NFT) platforms, explaining:

"Ko se svet premika v večverižno prihodnost, močno zanimanje udeležencev naše beta skupine kaže, da je naša ekipa oblikovala denarnico DeFi za množice, ki je v edinstvenem položaju, da uporabnikom nudi vrednost, za razliko od drugih izdelek na trgu. "

Cryptocurrency wallets are the first point of contact for DeFi users, but the steep learning curve around their use may be impacting broader mainstream adoption. Phantom has prioritized simplicity in onboarding more wallet users. The Phantom application can be installed as a browser extension on Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave and Firefox.

Arianna Simpson, a partner at Andreessen Horowitz, touted Phantom’s mission to build a “beautiful functional wallet that bridges assets and gives users a seamless experience,” adding that her firm is excited to work with the crypto startup.

The venture firm is behind some of the biggest raises in crypto, having earmarked billions of dollars for blockchain-focused startups.
