Ethereum mobile wallet startup Rainbow announced today that it’s raised an $18 million Series A funding round led by Seven Seven Six, the venture capital firm established by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
The startup closed the round in October 2021 and has since hired more than 20 employees as it looks to scale its business to reach more users, according to a company statement. Rainbow did not disclose additional investors in the round, which followed a $1.5 million seed round.
Rainbow is designed as a streamlined and accessible mobile alternative to MetaMask, arguably the best-known Ethereum wallet, letting users trade crypto tokens, interact with децентрализоване апликације (dapps), buy and view NFT collectibles, and access layer-2 and sidechain scaling solutions like Полигон, оптимизам и арбитрум.
The firm’s wallet app is currently available for iOS devices, and Rainbow also recently launched a public beta version of its Android app.
„Многи крипто корисници, укључујући и мене, сматрају Раинбов најбоље дизајнираним новчаником“, рекао је Оханиан у изјави. „Корисничко искуство је толико важно — [Раинбов-ов] избор дизајна је разлог што су већ изградили култ следбеника и настављају да образују и уводе бројне нове кориснике у Веб3.“
Ohanian is an outspoken advocate of NFT collectibles—he owns valuable Досадни јахтни клуб Апе ЦриптоПункс avatars—and the potential for play-to-earn games like Акие Инфинити to revolutionize the future of work. He’s an investor in Axie developer Sky Mavis, as well as Хоризон Блоцкцхаин игре, maker of NFT-driven collectible card game Skyweaver.
Seven Seven Six recently announced a $200 million investment initiative alongside Polygon, the Ethereum sidechain scaling solution. The companies will co-invest funds into gaming and social media projects building on Polygon.
Ohanian’s VC firm announced a similar, соланафокусирано $100 million investment initiative with Solana Ventures прошлог новембра.
