Cosmos blockchain-based DeFi protocol Quasar Finance has raised $5.4 million in a funding round led by Shima Capital.
About Investment
The $70 million funding round was led by Shima Capital, while other investors included Polychain Capital, Blockchain Capital, HASH Capital, CIB, and Osmosis co-founder Sunny Aggarwal. The company will use the investments raised to improve its platform’s products and expand its team.
With the collapse of FTX, trust in centralized exchanges has been declining. This is also pushing investors towards decentralized exchanges and DeFi protocols. The company is developing a decentralized asset management (DAM) protocol using IBC smart contracts powered by the Cosmos blockchain. Quasar co-founder and CEO Valentin Pletnev said:
“Securing this funding given ongoing and difficult market conditions is a massive show of confidence and a significant reaffirmation of our partners commitment to the common goal – making non-custodial and permissionless asset management available to all.”
