according to the official X announcement, the Layer0 infrastructure project Openverse has completed a $8 million strategic Series B financing, with investors including Bright Capital, KC International, Innovation Engine, Go2Mars, Becker Ventures, GAEA Ventures, and several family offices. The funds will be used to strengthen cross-chain interoperability and mainnet capabilities, advancing the "value internet" infrastructure.

The official statement claims that the total strategic financing has reached $11 million, with early supporters including Castrum Capital, TB Ventures, DuckDAO, Asva Capital, and others. Openverse positions itself as Layer0 and has deployed its protocol stack on multiple L1s, focusing on building bridge-less cross-chain interoperability, RWA tokenization frameworks, and native multi-chain payments, with Bitgold (BTG) as the value anchor.
