Key claims & sources
What it means
Perp traders and users of the platform are the group most likely to notice this next, because the project now has fresh funding and named backers. That matters today as a signal that the team is still building the product and has more resources for the work it described. (per ambcrypto.com)
In practice, the platform remains a perpetual trading product, but the stated focus has shifted to AI-native infrastructure. The $240 million private-beta volume is already part of the story, while the addition of NEAR and Animoca Brands to the seed round changes who is formally behind the project.
