“The capital raised will go towards accelerating the development of our ecosystem, hiring new experienced talents, and building a sustainable community.”
ThirdWeb Raises $24 Million in Funding Round
Another crypto project, ThirdWeb, a crypto developer platform, just recently completed a Series A funding round raising $24 million. This funding round was led by @HaunVentures. Accordingly, reports show that several other investors, including Shopify, Coinbase, Polygon, Protocol Labs, and Shrug VC, participated in the round.

This platform was launched by Katie Haun, a former federal prosecutor, and former a16z partner. Furqan Rydhan, Thirdweb’s co-founder and CEO, recently said;
“From our standpoint, we haven’t really seen much of an effect on our customers or the developers building these projects. It’s really exciting, whether it’s a bear market in terms of price or not, that we’ve continued to see strong growth and have been able to showcase that as part of raising this round. We focus on a software development kit for developers who want to build Web3 applications for things like NFT projects and marketplaces. We fill this gap between the infrastructure, which is like blockchains and node providers, and the actual applications.”
SpectralFi Raises $23 Million in Funding Round
SpectralFi, a credit risk assessment infrastructure startup, recently completed successful funding round where they raised $23 million. A tweet by @crypto_dealflow recently said;
“Сredit risk assessment infrastructure startup @SpectralFi raised $23M in a funding round led by @generalcatalyst and @socialcapital. @SamsungNext, @GradientVC, @section32vc, @FTI_US, @circlepay and @jumpcapital also participated in the round.”
Sishir Varghese, SpectralFi’s co-founder, and CEO, recently said,
“We tried to address some of the gaps in DeFi and realized there wasn’t just a gap in risk infrastructure and credit risk, it was just nonexistent. So looking at the larger context, credit risk infrastructure was gated by institutions in the West. In the East, credit institutions are controlled by the government. So we wanted to build a trustless, permissionless way to address credit risk analysis.”
SpectralFi will use these funds to help build the credit score and continue developing and scaling.
Mellow Protocol Raises $2.75 Million in Funding Round
