The round also saw participation from A195 Capital, AU21 Capital, Blocksync Ventures, Lotus Capital, Matterblock, Moonwhale Ventures, Protocol Ventures and Three M Capital.
The features of NiiFi DEX will include instant finalization of settlements, appealing to institutional investors, and the integration of AML/KYC procedures.
“We are betting on Nahmii 2.0. One of the key metrics in blockchain is finalization. Its instantaneous nature in the solution will enable countless commercial use cases”, said Andrew Kis, founder of DARMA Capital.
“We built the system from scratch. Its foundation rests on our own developments that could, in the future, receive patent protection”, stated by the developers.
In February 2021, the developers of the Ethereum Layer 2 solution Matic Network conducted a rebranding, changing the name to Polygon.
In March, the Optimism project pushed back the launch of its mainnet, reportedly to July.
