Catalysis announced the completion of a 1.25 million USD pre-seed funding round.

💰 RootData Funding Report (4/24) - Catalysis @0xcatalysis has raised $1.25M in a pre-seed round to develop the first security abstraction layer for shared security protocols, with a strong emphasis on streamlining restaking infrastructure. The round was led by @HashedEM, with support from @Presto_Labs, @SpaceshipDAO, @FunFairVentures, @CosmostationVD, and @CryptoTimes_mag. This early backing, while modest in size, is strategically aligned with Catalysis’ vision of becoming the middleware layer for Actively Validated Services (AVSs) across restaking ecosystems like EigenLayer, Symbiotic, and SatLayer. Hashed Emergent, focused on early-stage innovation in the Indian and APAC Web3 ecosystems, brings regional expertise and deep-rooted community access—valuable for scaling adoption and attracting dev talent. Presto Labs and Funfair Ventures, known for their quantitative and Web3 infra investments, can offer both product development guidance and tokenomics insight, which will be crucial as Catalysis aims to unify fragmented security layers into a cohesive developer experience. Cosmostation, a key validator and infra player in the Cosmos ecosystem, strengthens Catalysis’ ties to modular blockchain architecture—especially as the team targets bridges, DA layers, oracles, and zero-knowledge use cases that benefit from dynamic shared security. By focusing on abstraction and UX improvements across multiple restaking layers, Catalysis is well-positioned to become the “Stripe for security” in the emerging modular blockchain stack. This funding sets a foundational step for its testnet and future integrations.
