Privacy-first social protocol Rarimo completes $2.5 million Vision round financing, Vitalik Buterin and others participate

Privacy-first social protocol Rarimo announces completion of $2.5 million Vision round financing, specifically for founders. Project founders including 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 participated in the investment. Rarimo is expected to migrate to Ethereum in the form of a roll-up in the first quarter of 2025, making its ZK identity registry more accessible. It is reported that Rarimo's identity model uses ZK to encapsulate existing identity proof methods and builds applications on top of it, allowing users to prove their identity without fully disclosing it.
