Venom Ventures Fund has invested $5 million in Everscale to help it further expand its development teams and increase the number of projects. The investment will be phased, based on indicators of progress and cooperation.
Over the past two years, Everscale has been working hard to expand its reach and integrate its technology solutions in Asian countries, while building a strong community. Its dynamic sharding technology allows it to efficiently adapt to different workloads, making it an easy and practical option for creating large-scale Web3 and other types of applications.
Venom Ventures Fund was launched by Iceberg Capital Limited in partnership with Venom Foundation, the first officially licensed and regulated Tier 1 blockchain operating within the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).
Venom Ventures Fund Chairman Peter Knez, former BlackRock CIO, said: “For us, this is a strategic investment aimed at the technological development of projects and teams around technologies that we focus on and actively develop. In particular, we are talking about the Venom blockchain project and its ecosystem, which is planned to be launched soon and for which Everscale is a potential level 2 solution.”
The Venom and Everscale teams will work together to further develop the core and ecosystem, bringing blockchain adoption closer to real business use cases. Current initiatives such as digital asset tokenization platforms, a complete CBDC and stablecoin framework, and payment solutions with crypto-to-fiat gateways are already progressing well.
Commenting on the investment, Everscale Foundation board member Moon Young Lee said: “This is a milestone for both the Everscale and Venom networks. Everscale’s technology capabilities are vast, but underappreciated by a wider audience. Everscale will now be able to operate as an experimental network where updates and complex technical solutions can be introduced before being ported to Venom. This investment will allow Everscale to receive the recognition it deserves.”
Designed as a network of blockchains, Venom has no limit to the number of other tier 2 ancillary networks and no limit to the type of economy or operation at tier 2. This particular architecture means that mass adoption is now achievable on the Venom blockchain.
