Privacy-First Social Protocol Rarimo Completes $2.5 Million Vision Round Financing, with Participation from Vitalik Buterin and Others

Odaily Planet Daily News: The privacy-first social protocol Rarimo announced the completion of a $2.5 million Vision round of financing, specifically for its founders. Investors include Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Celestia co-founder Nick White, RiscZero co-founder Brian Retford, Gnosis co-founder Stefan George, and Aleo co-founder Alex Pruden, among others. It is expected that in the first quarter of 2025, Rarimo will migrate to Ethereum in the form of a roll-up, making its ZK identity registry more accessible. Rarimo's identity model adopts ZK to encapsulate existing identity proofing methods and builds applications on top of it, allowing users to prove their identity without fully disclosing it.
