Odaily Planet Daily News: The DeFi platform Azura officially launched on Tuesday after raising $6.9 million in a seed round led by Initialized. Other investors include Volt Capital, Winklevoss Capital, and Solana co-founder Raj Gokal. The funds will be used to scale the application, including increasing company payroll, improving software, and purchasing better servers. Azura provides access to market data, complete trading lifecycle support, and DeFi asset trading, connecting various crypto wallets, blockchains, exchanges, and other protocols through a single interface layer. Azura also reduces trust risk by eliminating intermediaries and returning control to users. Azura was initially launched a year ago under the name Thunder as a closed beta for private invitation only, a product test that only a selected group of users could participate in. It is reported that all Thunder users will migrate to Azura. (Fortune)
