SONEX Closes Seed Round for DeFi Trading in Soneium Ecosystem
Singapore, Singapore, January 21st, 2025, Chainwire
SONEX, an AI-powered decentralized exchange (DEX) built on top of the Soneium ecosystem, has successfully raised $1 million in a seed funding round in less than 60 days. The round was co-led by Outliers Fund, with participation of Baboon VC, Taisu Ventures, Nonagon Capital, Flow Traders, Gate Ventures, and Lootex. Alongside our announced partners, the funding round also included a investment from an undisclosed lead investor, further underscoring the broad confidence in SONEX’s potential within the DeFi sector.
The funds will be allocated to enhance SONEX’s technical infrastructure, enabling advanced features such as derivatives trading and peer-to-peer trading pools. Additionally, the company will bolster security measures to protect user assets and data, and expand operational capacity to accommodate growing user demand. Resources will also support marketing initiatives to attract a broader user base and research efforts to explore emerging DeFi technologies and integrations.
SONEX plans to expand into the financial, gaming, and entertainment sectors through blockchain-tokenized AI agents. These agents operate autonomously, managing on-chain wallets and pursuing objectives independently. The platform’s multi-agent framework facilitates seamless coordination among AI agents, simplifying their deployment for collaborative tasks. This approach allows users to tokenize and co-manage AI agents, unlocking new revenue streams and fostering greater participation in the decentralized finance space.
“We are setting a new standard for DeFi platforms by pioneering the integration of AI-driven agents into the trading ecosystem,” said Kai, CEO of SONEX. “This isn’t just a technological upgrade—it’s a strategic evolution that empowers our users to harness advanced AI capabilities for better decision-making and enhanced trading experiences. With the support of our investors, we are excited to lead the charge in making decentralized finance more dynamic and accessible”.
“We’re proud to be an early believer of SONEX’s vision, pushing the boundaries of DeFi innovations” said Poseidon Ho, Founding Partner & CEO of Outliers Fund.
Takashi Hayashida, Founder and Managing Partner of Taisu Ventures, added, “We are immensely optimistic about the prospects of Soneium and SONEX. Our commitment is driven by the groundbreaking approach these platforms are taking towards decentralized finance, promising to reshape the industry with innovative solutions and robust growth potential.”
