Fasanara Digital also participated in the round to bring Idle's total funding to $2.4 million. The firm plans to use the funds to help further develop on-chain credit infrastructure among other endeavors, Idle Chief Marketing Officer Biaf told The Block.
Idle is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) providing yield automation and hedging tools for the decentralized finance (DeFi) market, according to a release shared with The Block. The platform amassed $300 million in liquidity and surpassed $2 billion in volume.
"With this business model change, Idle will address the less-than-ideal value proposition and product variation lag that sophisticated allocators, like our credit strategy, have experienced in DeFi over the last years,” said RockawayX Credit Portfolio Manager Adam Bilko.
Idle previously raised $1.2 million in a seed funding round led by Gumi Cryptos Capital in November 2020. Additional investors included Gumi Cryptos Capital, Consensys, Quantstamp, TheLAO, Dialectic, BlockRock Capital, Greenfield One, Long Hash, Jack Herrick, Josh Hannah, Qiao Wang and Imran Khan.
