Venom makes strategic investment in Everscale Blockchain

Venom Ventures Fund, a Web3 and blockchain innovation fund managed by Abu Dhabi-based investment fund manager Iceberg Capital Limited, has announced a strategic partnership with Everscale, a leading blockchain that aims to solve the scalability issues plaguing the Web3 industry.

Venom Ventures Fund has committed a $5 million investment in Everscale to help it further expand its development teams and increase its number of projects. The investment will be phased, based on the progress and cooperation indicators.

Everscale has worked diligently to expand its reach and integrate its technology solutions in Asian countries over the past two years, while building a strong community. Its dynamic sharding technology enables it to efficiently adapt to varying workloads, thus making it an easy and convenient option for creating large Web3 and other types of applications.

Venom Ventures Fund was launched by Iceberg Capital Limited in partnership with Venom Foundation, the first officially licensed and regulated Layer-1 blockchain operating within the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).

Venom Ventures Fund Chairman Peter Knez, former CIO of BlackRock, said: “For us, this is a strategic investment aimed at technological development of projects and teams around technologies that we focus on and actively develop. In particular, we are talking about the Venom blockchain project and its ecosystem, which is planned to be launched soon and for which Everscale is a potential Layer 2 solution.”

The Venom and Everscale teams will work together on the further development of the core and ecosystem to bring the adoption of blockchain closer to real business applications. Current initiatives such as digital asset tokenization platforms, a complete framework for CBDCs and stablecoins, and payment solutions with crypto-to-fiat gateways are already making good progress.

Commenting on the investment, Everscale Foundation board member Moon Young Lee said, “This is a milestone for both the Everscale and Venom networks. The technological capabilities of Everscale are immense, but they have been underestimated by a wider audience. Now Everscale will be able to operate as an experimental network where updates and complex technical solutions can be introduced before being brought to Venom. This investment will allow Everscale to gain the recognition it deserves.”

Designed as a network of blockchains, Venom has no limit to the number of other auxiliary networks at the Layer 2 level and no limit to the type of economy or operation at Layer 2. This particular architecture means that mass adoption is now achievable on the Venom blockchain.

This makes it the ideal blockchain for hosting high-scale web3 and other load-intensive projects.
