Colorado-based blockchain firm Dapix has raised $5.7
million (£4.63m) in a recently held series A funding round led by Binance Labs.
Dapix, which empowers the blockchain ecosystem with
revolutionary inter-wallet usability, was responsible at the initial
development stage of the FIO Protocol, which is an industry-based,
decentralised service layer that improves usability across every blockchain,
token or coin. In due course, the Protocol would be guided by the Foundation
for Interwallet Operability (FIO), a consortium of leading wallets, exchanges,
and cryptocurrency payment processors.
The consortium continues to grow every month as more
and more of the ecosystem is supporting the FIO Protocol as an industry-wide
usability standard.
“The Internet was around for more than 10 years before
a key usability protocol enabled usage to explode. Our goal is nothing less
than to have the decentralised FIO Protocol enable a similar outcome for the
blockchain ecosystem,” said David Gold, Dapix founder and CEO in a statement. “We
are humbled by the overwhelming support we’ve received from FIO members,
investors and Binance, who share our vision of improving usability and
achieving mass adoption.”
In July, Blockchain customer relationship management
(CRM) solution provider Cere Network secured
£3m in its seed-funding round. Major investors including Binance Labs, the
venture arm of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, participated in the event.
Other investors are Neo Global Capital, Fenbushi Capital, Arrington XRP
Capital, and Block VC among others. The company aims to disrupt the CRM space,
one of the most competitive categories with a market cap of £39b in 2018. As a
blockchain-native firm, Cere Network is attempting to use this advantage to
bring into effect its new technology in the industry.
In August, Australian SaaS developer Lumachain raised $3.5m (£3m) in a funding round spearheaded by CSIRO-linked Main Sequence Ventures. As reported by Business Insider, The Sydney, New South Wales-based company uses blockchain to find and track items in the food supply chain that could be unethically sourced products or products of forced labour.
