Latest Saga Seed Round Led by Placeholder
Announced by Saga, a leading Layer-1 protocol and developer ecosystem in web3, the completion of its $5 million seed extension round is being touted as the fastest developer growth for a Layer-1 protocol. Placeholder, a prominent venture capital firm in decentralized protocols and web3 services, led the investment raising Saga’s total funding to $13.5 million, the largest percentage stake in a pre-Layer-1 launch in the firm’s history. The latest round also included investors like Longhash Ventures, Com2uS, and others.
Plans and Partnerships for Future Growth
Saga plans to expand its team, community, and ecosystem through strategic partnerships and growing its Saga Innovator Program.
