Supra Raises $24 Million in Private Investment Rounds
Miami-based company Supra has successfully raised over $24 million in private investment rounds. The funding comes from prominent venture capital firms such as Animoca, Coinbase Ventures, HashKey, Prosus Ventures, Razer, United Overseas Bank Venture Management, and Valor Equity Partners, among others.
Developing an Innovative Cross-Chain Oracle Network
Supra is currently working on developing a cross-chain oracle and communication network that aims to achieve sub-2 second finality with enhanced security guarantees. They plan to achieve this through their bespoke consensus algorithm called “Moonshot Consensus.” The goal is to make their network more than 10 times more secure than existing bridges in the market.
Turbo-Charging Oracles for Web3 Migration
Supra is playing a crucial role in facilitating the migration of Web2 to Web3 by focusing on improving oracles, cross-chain communication protocols, and their cutting-edge consensus mechanism. Their next-gen oracle technology is already being used to update over 1.5 million cryptocurrency data pairs daily.
Strategic Partnerships and Academic Contributions
Supra has received significant funding from major digital asset funds and organizations. Additionally, they have published whitepapers on secure multi-party computation, decentralized consensus, and blockchain oracles, making valuable contributions to the academic field. Dr. Aniket Kate leads the team of PhDs at Supra and is known for his work on Ethereum’s L2 scaling roadmap.
Decentralizing Ownership and Governance
To decentralize ownership and governance of the network, Supra has brought in over 500 funds, node operators, and angel investors. This diverse group of stakeholders will help distribute the token supply and contribute to the long-term success of Supra’s decentralized network.
Airdrop Opportunity and Token Generation Event
Supra has announced a gamified learn-to-earn airdrop opportunity for community members to further distribute their token, $SUPRA. The Countdown to Blast Off campaign allows users to participate and learn more about Supra. The company aims to have over 500,000 KYC’d token holders during their Token Generation Event in early 2024.
Moving Forward: CEO’s Vision for Supra
Joshua Tobkin, CEO and Co-Founder of Supra, expressed excitement about bringing Supra to market and providing a high-performance oracle service for DeFi developers and end consumers. He emphasized the importance of strategic partnerships in driving future growth and securing oracles and bridges to protect decentralized finance.
Hot Take: Securing Oracles and Bridges for Web3’s Full Potential
Tobkin believes that securing oracles and bridges is crucial for blockchain to achieve its full potential. By implementing cryptography-driven solutions that prioritize speed and security guarantees, Supra aims to level the playing field in the Web3 ecosystem. Their goal is to provide a higher level of protection for end consumers, preventing hacks and exploits that have negatively impacted decentralized finance in the past.
