  • Oracles are tools that provide real-world data, from financial asset prices to blockchain smart contracts. The startup provides such data feeds to over 30 chains including Ethereum, Avalanche, Celo, Arbitrum, and Fantom.
  • Lemniscap led the $7 million seed round. It is an investment firm based on Cayman Islands, specializing in investments in emerging crypto assets and blockchain companies. Coinbase Ventures, Blockchain Capital, Lattice, Arweave, and Maven 11 also participated in the round.
