aPriori, a liquid staking platform building on the Monad blockchain, has raised $8 million in a seed funding round led by Pantera Capital.
Other investors in the round included Consensys, OKX Ventures, CMS Holdings, ABCDE, Gumi Cryptos Capital, Flow Traders, Laser Digital, Chorus One, Everstake Capital and Staking Facilities, aPriori said Thursday. Angel investors, including Spencer Noon of OurNetwork, Marc Tillement of Pyth Network, Robinson Burkey of Wormhole Foundation, TN Lee of Pendle Finance and Zano Sherwani of Jito Labs, also joined the round.
aPriori began raising funds for the seed round in March and closed it in April, co-founder and CEO Ray S told The Block. The round brought aPriori's fully diluted token to a "9-figure" valuation meaning at least $100 million, Ray said, declining to comment on the structure of the round.
