Monad Labs Pulls In $19M Seed Round

2023-02-14
CHICAGO, IL, Monad Labs, the team supporting the high-performance Monad blockchain, today announced the closing of a $19 million seed funding round.
The round was led by Dragonfly Capital. The round saw additional participation from 70 investors, including Placeholder Capital, Lemniscap, Shima Capital, Finality Capital, as well as notable angel investors in the space such as Naval Ravikant, Cobie, and Hasu - amongst others.

Monad Labs is an early-stage, venture-backed tech startup founded in 2022. The co-founders of Monad Labs have roots in Jump Trading, where they worked together for seven years building low-latency high-frequency-trading (HFT) systems, and later contributing to R&D at Jump Crypto in 2021. This was the genesis of Monad - synthesizing learnings from HFT, as well as some new ideas, to build the most performant and robust smart-contract blockchain possible. Monad applies expertise in low-latency programming, compiler optimization, systems engineering, cryptography, and graph theory to substantially advance the performance and scalability of decentralized computation.
