Raising funds for DeFi

Additional investors include CMT Digital, Greater Bay Area Homeland Development Fund, Quotidian Ventures, and Liberty City Ventures. Several funds invested with Ethereum-based stablecoins, DAI, and USDC, as consideration.

The funds will be used to build decentralized finance (DeFi) and Web3 applications and the various synergies between the two, with ConsenSys focused on commercializing its industry-leading platforms as distribution channels for leading DeFi protocols/

“When we set out to raise a round, it was important to us to patiently construct a diverse cap table, consistent with our belief that similar to how the web developed, the whole economy would join the revolutionaries on a next-generation protocol,” said ConsenSys founder Joseph Lubin in a statement.

He added:

“ConsenSys’ software stack represents access to a new automated objective trust foundation enabled by decentralized protocols like Ethereum.”

Raj Dhamodharan, executive vice president of digital asset at Mastercard, explained why the firm chose to take part in the round, “Enterprise Ethereum is a key infrastructure on which we and our partners are building payment and non-payment applications to power the future of Commerce.”
