Backed by Industry-Leading Investors, Liquidium Aims to Become the DeFi Hub on Bitcoin L1
Liquidium, a pioneering and leading Bitcoin DeFi company, today announced it has successfully closed a $2.75 million seed round. This investment marks a significant milestone in Liquidium's journey to become the best lending protocol on Bitcoin. Key investors in this round include Wise 3 Ventures, Portal Ventures, Asymmetric Capital, AGE Fund, NGC Ventures, CMS Holdings, Newman Capital, VidenVC, DeGods, as well as individuals like, Dingaling, Frank DeGods, Beanie, Cirrus, ThreadGuy, FAR (Co-Founder of Taproot Wizards), Anthony Newman, Dr. Jingle, NFTboi, Nate Whitehill (CEO of CryptoSlate), and Dan Held.

News of this funding comes just weeks after Liquidium introduced its innovative Runes borrowing and lending services just shortly after the release of the Rune’s protocol itself. Liquidium’s consistently fast turnaround time and success in staying on top of industry trends are strong indicators of its continuous improvement and dependability.

"I envision Liquidium to be the DeFi lending hub on Bitcoin with fully fledged liquidity pools to offer experiences like Aave, but on native Bitcoin," said Robin Obermaier, CEO of Liquidium. "This funding round brings us closer to realizing a platform where users can seamlessly supply liquidity to earn passive income or borrow assets in a secure, overcollateralized manner. We have the team, the investors, and the guts to execute on that vision."

Liquidium is currently the leading Bitcoin DeFi platform enabling peer-to-peer Bitcoin lending. Users can borrow or lend Bitcoin, using unique Bitcoin-based assets like Ordinals (Bitcoin NFTs) and Runes as collateral. This is facilitated securely through Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTs) and Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs), all on Layer-1 Bitcoin.

“We are excited to launch our runes borrowing and lending services that our developers have been hard at work on and continue expanding our assets offered,” said Peter Giammanco, CTO of Liquidium.

Alongside runes borrowing and lending, Liquidium is now compatible with Unisat and Leather wallets. Looking to the future, Liquidium is now prioritizing bringing BRC-20s assets onto the platform, as well as additional wallets such as OKX and Phantom. Their ultimate goal is to be accessible as possible to everybody in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and expand their reach to markets in the East that are heavily fungible token focused.

Investors are equally enthusiastic about Liquidium's potential to redefine Bitcoin liquidity markets. "It is a true pleasure to work alongside Robin and the Liquidium team, who are doing an exceptional job revolutionizing peer-to-peer Bitcoin lending. Their innovation with ordinals, runes, PSBTs, and DLCs is setting new standards in the industry. Outstanding in their dedication and vision!" voiced by Rubén, the founder of Wise3 Ventures.

Julian Mezger, CMO of Liquidium, added, "The support from our investors is everything, and it’s humbling to see the industry's confidence in our vision and capabilities. We are committed to building a platform that is not only innovative but also secure and user-friendly."

Select your $SUPRA token claim plan
Let's prep your hard earned tokens to be airdropped via the StarKey wallet. Follow the 3 steps outlined below to ensure a smooth journey.

How are the blast off tokens unlocked?

When the Token Generation Event (TGE) happens, which is essentially the public launch of the $SUPRA token, you’ll be able to claim 10% of your total Blast Off tokens to your wallet. As per $SUPRA tokenomics, the remaining 90% of those tokens will be distributed to you gradually over the next 30 months. But you can also select an alternative plan that involves locked delegation to a validator node with an earlier overall unlock along with potential delegator rewards.

What is vesting?

Vesting is a process where you receive your tokens over a period of time instead of all at once in order to facilitate gradual release of tokens into the circulating supply. This helps to prevent market flooding and encourages long-term holding. For Countdown to Blast Off players, you will get an initial 10% vest at the TGE, and the rest of your tokens will vest at a rate of 3% each month for the next 30 months.

Are there other options for my remaining tokens?
Yes, besides the gradual 30 month vesting schedule, you can choose to delegate your tokens to a validator node in a locked plan which unlocks at once in 15 months from TGE with the limited-time early bird plan. Delegation here means your tokens will be locked and not accessible during this period, but you may potentially get delegation rewards in this time period. At the end of the delegation period, all your delegated tokens will be unlocked at once.

Open-source #AI platform Sentient raised $85M in a Seed funding round led by Ffoundersfund, Pantera Capital, Framework, with participation from Etherealvc, Robot Ventures, Symbolic VC, Delphi Ventures, Hack VC, Arrington, HashKey Capital, Canonical Crypto, Foresight Ventures

What is Sentient
Sentient is an AI research organization fostering a new Open AGI Economy for AI Builders and Creators. They are building platforms and protocols to enable open-source AI developers to (1) monetize their models, data, and other innovations, (2) collaborate with each other to collectively build powerful AIs, and (3) be significant stakeholders in a new Open AGI economy.

Why Sentient
They are in an era reminiscent of the 1995 closed-source software landscape. At present, the dominance of closed-source AI has centralized immense power with a few organizations. Although open-source AI development exists, it lacks sufficient incentives for developers and does not enable them to be equal stakeholders. Furthermore, individual open-source AI contributions need to be composed through collaborations to get powerful AI that can compete with and surpass closed-source AI performance.

Sentient is building technology and products to address these critical challenges. They envision a future where AI development is open and transparent, and its access and monetization is decentralized.

How Sentient Does It
Sentient is building an AI platform for builders to collaborate and monetize their innovations. AI builders are the workhorses and principal actors of this economy, the ones who innovate and collaborate to build powerful new AI offerings. The underlying blockchain protocol and incentive mechanism provides the necessary economic alignment needed for the evolution of Open AGI in this collective offering.

For all this to work, it is necessary that the powerful AI models hosted on Sentient are Open, Monetizable and Loyal (OML) – “loyal” models are those which remain aligned with the community that built them, enforced by the underlying blockchain protocol.

Sentient has pioneered a new ambitious field in AI research with OML models. OML models will drive a shared Open AGI economy, supporting millions of AI agents and further downstream applications for billions of AI users.

Beyond introducing this new format, our platform will enable mass collaboration and discussion through the systems we are working on. They are building the tools for a new era of technology, finance and society.

𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜̇𝗡𝗚 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦: Investment manager Vaneck has filed an application with the SEC to launch a #Solana ETF

Head of digital assets reaserch Matthew Sigel announced details:

" Why did we file for it?
A competitor to Eth, Sol is open-source blockchain software designed to handle various applications,including payments,trading, gaming, and social interactions. Operating as a single global state machine without sharding or L2s, the Solana blockchain’s unique combination of scalability, speed, and low costs may offer a better user experience for many use cases.

By enabling thousands of transactions per second with minimal fees and employing an advanced security mechanism that combines POH and POS, we believe Solana stands out as a powerful and accessible blockchain software. We think this combination of high throughput, low fees, robust security, and a strong community vibe makes Solana an attractive option for an exchange-traded fund, offering investors exposure to a versatile and innovative open-source ecosystem.

Why do we believe SOL is a commodity like BTC, ETH, etc.?
We believe the native token,SOL, functions similarly to other digital commodities such as BTC and #ETH It is utilized to pay for transaction fees and computational services on the blockchain Like ether on the Ethereum network, SOL can be traded on digital asset platforms or used in peer-to-peer transactions.

The broad range of applications and services supported by the Solana ecosystem,from DeFi to NFTs, underscores SOL's utility and value as a digital commodity.No single intermediary or entity operates or controls the Solana Network,a principle referred to as decentralization.The transaction validation and recordkeeping infrastructure are collectively maintained by a diverse user base comprising numerous independent validators distributed globally. These validators are responsible for processing transactions and securing the network, ensuring no single entity can monopolize the system.

SOL’s decentralized nature,high utility and economic feasibility align with the characteristics of other established digital commodities, reinforcing our belief that SOL may be a valuable commodity with use cases for investors,builders, and entrepreneurs looking for alternatives to the duopoly app stores."
