Crypto infrastructure provider Anoma Foundation is seeking a $1 billion valuation through a new $40 million funding round.
According to a recent Bloomberg report, the Anoma Foundation, based in Zug, Switzerland, is in talks with investors to raise $40 million. Sources who requested anonymity due to the private nature of the discussions indicated that the negotiations are still in progress and that the terms may be subject to change.
The company specializes in intent-centric architecture for decentralized counterparty discovery, problem-solving, information flow control, and atomic multi-chain settlement. It manages the Namada blockchain and develops software designed for decentralized applications.
“We are still in active discussions and the details of the round have not yet been finalized,” said an Anoma spokesperson.
