Golden Finance reported that the shared sorter network Astria announced the completion of a $12.5 million financing, led by dba and Placeholder VC, with participation from RockawayX, Maven11, 1kx, Bankless Ventures, Figment Capital and Batu, as well as angel investors such as Yuki, DCBuilder, Hasu, Will Price and Jason Yanowitz. These funds will be used to continue building the Astria sorting layer and Astria Stack, enabling anyone to deploy permissionless aggregation without relying on a centralized sorter.
