Odaily Planet Daily News: Byzantine Finance announced the completion of a $3 million pre-seed round of financing, led by Node Capital and Blockwall Ventures. More than 30 investors including Lightshift, Masterkey, and Kiln Ventures participated in the investment. The financing will support Byzantine Finance in developing its decentralized "aggregation layer" protocol, which aims to help multiple blockchains share liquidity, status, and users while maintaining their respective sovereignty. Byzantine's Restaking protocol is mainly aimed at institutions and professional investors, helping them to simultaneously secure multiple protocols by staking assets and earn returns from them.
