Port Finance Raised 5.3M Strategic Series A Round

Published on: 26.12.2021

Port Finance has raised 5.3M Strategic Series A Round led by Alameda Research along with investments from Spartan CapitalBrevan Howarda41, and a number of angel investors.

They strongly believed that this will cement further development of Port Finance to realize its objective of becoming an integral part of Solana’s liquidity layer.

✔️ Extending Fixed Rate Lending Products

Port Finance has always been to bring a suite of interest rate products to Solana. They have launched their March 2022 USDC fixed-rate lending for their users. Port Finance’s next phase of development will be focused on extending its Fixed-Rate Lending Products to support more assets and also enabling fixed-rate borrowing against collateral.

✔️ Ecosystem Integrations

Composability is core to Decentralized Finance and it will bring that to Port Finance with their full suite of developer tool kits. The launch of the Port Finance Ecosystem Fund aims to incentivize developers to integrate with the Port via grants.

✔️ Governance

As the Port Finance protocol matures, they aim to establish a formalized DAO. As depicted in their genesis roadmap, the PORT token will serve as a core to align a shared vision across all stakeholders in the Port Ecosystem. They aim to layout the initial foundation of governance mechanisms to kickstart governance initiatives, community participation, incentive structures, and more, progressively moving towards their goal of full decentralization.

Port Finance’s Strategic Series A fundraise forges key partnerships for the protocol and provides it the resources to invest in building bigger, better, and more secure money market products for our users.
