Nexio has recently raised $2.2 million in pre-seed funding led by Lattice Fund, with participation from HTX Ventures. Aiming to revolutionize Bitcoin's scalability and usability, this funding will enable Nexio to accelerate the development and adoption of its parallelized Bitcoin rollup technology. Nexio is establishing new norms in blockchain technology under the leadership of co-founders skilled in Bitcoin zkVM Rollup development.
Nexio's technology combines a zk-Rollup, Multi-Party Computation (MPC) Threshold Signature Scheme, and the Fractal interpreter to set new benchmarks in speed, security, and interoperability. By utilizing MPC Threshold Signatures, Nexio prevents single points of failure, offering robust, decentralized transaction validation that is more secure than traditional multisig approaches.
"Nexio's innovative Bitcoin scaling solution is designed to enhance Bitcoin's capabilities and bridge the gap between different blockchain ecosystems. It seamlessly integrates applications and liquidity from Move, Cosmos, and any EVM-compatible ecosystems into Bitcoin," said Edward, Managing Partner at HTX Ventures. "Nexio also offers highly competitive low gas fees while providing a high TPS infrastructure. HTX Ventures is excited to support Nexio in unlocking a new era of innovation and adoption within the Bitcoin ecosystem, facilitating the growth of complex DeFi applications, gaming platforms, NFT marketplaces, and infrastructure projects on its platform."
"Nexio's vision is to unlock Bitcoin's full potential by providing scalable, secure, and cost-effective infrastructure," said Charlie Gordon, co-founder of Nexio. Through its partnership with Movement Labs, Nexio has built a framework that combines horizontal interoperability through high-throughput modular Move Virtual Machines with vertical composability. This integration enables developers to build with Aptos move, Sui move, and Solidity, ensuring robust cross-chain functionality and seamless asset movement across platforms.
Nexio aims to achieve several key milestones in the next 6-12 months, including the rollout of a permissionless testnet and the subsequent launch of their mainnet solution. These developments will mark significant steps toward revolutionizing the Bitcoin ecosystem with enhanced scalability, security, and interoperability.
