BBO Exchange (BBOX), a decentralized derivative trading platform, has closed its pre-seed funding round with $2.7 million in capital. The funding round was co-led by venture funds Hashed and Arrington Capital, with participation from Consensys, CMS Holdings, Flow Traders, and others. BBOX aims to augment the DeFi space through its unique strategy in decentralized derivative trading, with a signal-driven dynamic distribution Automated Market Maker (AMM) and an auction mechanism that leverages the inherent latency in Oracle price updates. The platform is also preparing to introduce its signal-driven AMM on Linea, a zkEVM Layer 2 Network designed for scaling Ethereum decentralized applications.
