Azura, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, has secured $6.9 million in seed funding, led by Initialized Capital. Other participants in the round include Volt Capital, Winklevoss Capital, and Solana co-founder Raj Gokal. Azura, which launched as a private beta a year ago under the name Thunder, plans to use the funds to expand its team and develop new products. The platform currently offers a suite of DeFi tools, including a lending platform, a decentralized exchange, and a yield farming aggregator. The DeFi market has grown rapidly in recent years, as more and more people seek to access financial services without relying on traditional banks. Azura is one of a number of DeFi platforms that have emerged to meet this demand. With its experienced team and strong backing, Azura is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing DeFi market. The platform's recent seed funding round is a sign of confidence in the company's future prospects.
