TechFlow, November 7 — According to The Block, Sprinter, a cross-chain infrastructure startup founded by Ethereum developers, has raised $5.2 million in seed funding led by Robot Ventures, with participation from A Capital, Atka Capital, Topology, and Uniswap Labs Ventures. Several prominent angel investors also joined the round, including Ameen Soleimani of 0xbow and Eva Beylin of Optimism.
Sprinter focuses on enhancing the functionality of blockchain "solvers"—off-chain bots, algorithms, and market makers that execute on-chain operations on behalf of users. The protocol is currently in private beta, with core products including Sprinter Stash (a cross-chain credit protocol providing uncollateralized credit for solvers and market makers) and Sprinter Solve (a request-for-quote-based swap API for dApps, wallets, and protocols).
