The funding round also included participation from Mechanism Ventures, Bankless Ventures, CMS Ventures, UTXO Management, and angel investors Dan Held and Domo (creator of the BRC-20 token standard).

Bitcoin layer-2 is one of the segments that is considered to lead the market in the near future. Some prominent projects in this segment include Merlin Chain, BEVM, Elastos, Biop, Lightning Network...
