-8% employee growth in 12 months

Our take

Connext, a blockchain interoperability protocol that enables developers to build cross-chain applications, is making the world of cryptosystems accessible to everyday Internet users.

Believing in the power of decentralized networks, Connext is focused on improving experiences for users of Ethereum and the broader ecosystem. By offering a crypto bridge - which allows activities on multiple blockchains, for example - users can borrow money on one crypto platform and spend it on another.

Deeply connected to the Web3 ecosystem, Connext is backed by over 80 of the leading L2s, DeFi Protocols, Exchanges, and Staking Service Providers. It has plans to use the funds it has raised to continue growing the company team as well as scaling up liquidity within the network.
