Our take
Blocknative is a real-time Web3 infrastructure democratizing access to mempool data across multiple chains. It promises to enable dynamic user experiences and better decisions through pre-chain insight, whilst empowers users to see what is happening and what will happen next on public blockchain networks.
Not long ago, Blocknative received a round of series A funding, which put the company in a strong position to expand its core data platform. This financing, with investment from Robot Ventures and Bankless, among others, brought some of the industry’s leading minds and expertise to the table. Considering this, coupled with its unique goal of improving access to mempool data, the company certainly stands in good stead.
