Tortola, British Virgin Islands, February 20th, 2025, Chainwire
Cygnus has announced the successful completion of a $20 million pre-seed funding round, backed by industry pioneers such as Manifold Trading, OKX Ventures, Mirana Ventures, Optimism Foundation Retro Funding, and more. As a modular real yield layer and the first Web3 Instagram App Layer, Cygnus merges on-chain & off-chain assets to power the creator economy. This investment positions Cygnus for accelerated growth as it expands its product offerings and strengthens its presence in key markets, onboarding the next billion users into blockchain and driving the crypto industry into the era of super apps.
Cygnus is a modular real yield layer, empowering any blockchain to easily customize its own restaking network and achieve shared security. As the end game of real yield, assets from both on-chain and off-chain can be restaked into Cygnus LVS to serve as liquidity validation, driving seamless coordination and economic security (including partners such as MakerDAO, Linea, Base, Movement, Sonic SVM, Omni Network, Synfutures, Bitlayer, Hemi Network and others). Cygnus will support more AI assets and computing power after the acquisition of OASIS AI Limited, driving forward the democratization of cutting-edge AI technology.
Cygnus is building the first Web3 Instagram App Layer, merging on-chain & off-chain assets to power the creator economy and onboard the next billion users onto Web3. Cygnus will deploy Instagram ads and partner with Instagram creators, so users can support their favorite creators and potentially share in the earnings with the platform’s algorithm recommending Cygnus campaign to users in target regions. Cygnus will also utilize the Instagram account for interactive games, branded challenges, and live streams —building a central hub for blockchain education with simplified guides and tutorials.
According to the team, Cygnus will ultimately build a transparent and decentralized economic network within emerging ecosystems, establishing a sustainable model that drives real-world utility and supports mass adoption.
