Vinci Protocol Completed 2.1M Seed Round Fundraising

With much excitement, we want to tell you Vinci Protocol has completed a 2.1M seed round fundraising led by UOB Venture Management, SigNum Capital, and TGE Capital.

This fundraising is to accelerate our mission of building a power suite of NFT data services and developer tools to empower native Web3 builders and applications.

We at Vinci Protocol believe NFTs are the new and most disruptive way of creative expression, allowing artists, brands, and companies to provide authenticity in the rising digital age. Of course, the future of NFTs is full of uncertainty, but the team behind Vinci Protocol is now pushing the boundary of what can be achieved from NFT, and we are having a blast being part of this journey.

We created Vinci Protocol with a clear WHY — to build an NFT infrastructure where users, developers, and companies can interact with the NFT space in their unique ways. With Vinci Protocol, we envision that Web3 builders and companies can leverage our tools and services, which encompass NFT finance, NFT Oracle, NFT Governance, and NFT Commerce, to bring mass adoption to NFT and Web3. However, to achieve this, we must rely on many trades that only exist at the intersection of art, blockchain, data, and financial engineering. This is why we turn to the market for help, as it is the ultimate judge and pusher.

Raising funds is a very common step for startups. However, it is extremely hard at this juncture, which, in contrast, shows what we can offer to the crypto market is even more valuable. This seed funding gives Vinci Protocol a significant financial boost, and having accredited investors and institutions behind us means more than just money.

In addition, we can address the essential topics by careful planning in our Advisory Board, and as a result, we are well positioned for the market. Our ability to interact with the vast NFT groups and maintain a strong network has come about due to frequent communication with our investors and advisers.

Looking back, our first announcement in February showed the world what we initially planned to achieve in this new NFT world, followed by an incredible response from the NFT community. Since then, we’ve seen tremendous organic growth in our multiple events, in which thousands of people have shared and claimed our community NFTs with their friends.

Besides the amazing community support we have received, technically, we had several significant milestones, the most important ones of which being:

The official mainnet was launched successfully.

We have completed the Certik audit report with no critical findings.

Developer documents were completed and ready for integration.

Launched blue-chip NFT lending pools on Ethereum mainnet.

Deployed NFT Oracle contract on Ethereum mainnet with the updated mechanism.

Deployed NFT floor price history graph.

Launched NFT Oracle landing page with a floor price list and price history charts.

The new funding presents us with incredible resources to continue building world-class services and products and accommodating the demand we are seeing in the NFT space.

We’ll continue investing heavily in our core product and build it to stand the test of market and time. For now, we are keeping our heads down and rolling up our sleeves to create the best possible product for our community.

  • SemiAnalysis CEO: Substrates are the 'Biggest Bottleneck'

    On October 25, the CEO of SemiAnalysis stated: 'I believe that in the semiconductor industry, the biggest limiting factor, aside from memory, is substrates. Substrates, PCB materials, and substrate materials are all severely under-invested. Many companies in the supply chain that produce these materials in Japan are relatively conservative and unwilling to make significant investments in capacity. As a result, there is a huge bottleneck. In terms of what can be produced in the next two years, whether it’s accelerators, CPUs, or any other component in the supply chain, I believe substrates are the biggest bottleneck.'

  • Keystone Hardware Wallet Website Hacked, Customer Information Leaked

    On October 25, Hong Kong-based self-custody hardware wallet brand Keystone, known for its full isolation and QR code signing, disclosed that its official website was unauthorizedly accessed on October 20, exposing customer names, contact information, shipping addresses, and order details (including purchased products and prices). The company confirmed on October 23, after verifying API activity with Shopify, that a third party obtained customer shipping information. Keystone emphasized that payment card and bank information, mnemonic phrases, private keys, and wallet passwords were not leaked. The company has blocked access, patched vulnerabilities, initiated an investigation, and notified affected customers via email, warning that scammers may impersonate Keystone to deceive customers under the pretext of refunds or device exchanges. Customers are advised not to click on suspicious links and not to disclose mnemonic phrases and private keys, with plans to release a detailed report within a few days. Other companies in the industry, such as Trezor (which experienced a leak from logistics provider ShipMonk in August) and Ledger (which had a security incident this month involving modified devices stealing mnemonic phrases), have also faced security issues.
