AUSTIN, Texas, July 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – The Web3 platform Curios announced that it has completed and completed its seed round, raising $ 5,000,000 via Regulation-CF. Curios raised the entire round in six days, which indicated that the appetite for Web3 is still strong, but only for companies with a real product, traction and clear vision.
Curios plans to continue its mission to bring NFTs to “the other 90%” of the world by building “Web3 bridges” that include fiat payment ramps, custodian crypto wallets and more. Funds were raised through Republic, a widely used platform for equity financing.
“Most NFT experiences alienate 90-95% of the world that has neither a crypto wallet nor its own cryptocurrencies,” said Grant Powell, founder of Curios. “Curios’ vision is that any asset on any blockchain or wallet, in any Metaverse, game or marketplace, can be easily acquired, managed, liquidated or relocated without having to know the details of how the underlying blockchain technologies work.”
Curios will expand its product and engineering teams to continue developing the Curios Protocol team and browser-based tools, making it easy for any creator, business or developer to build robust NFT experiences with little to no knowledge of blockchain technology.
Curios’ REST API puts the power of all the features and functionality in the hands of game developers, Metaverses and marketplaces. Now these developers can focus on building powerful experiences without worrying about blockchain integration, payment settlements or related implementation challenges.
Curios early adopters consists of more than 8000 registered NFT marketplaces, creators and companies that have sold over 1 million NFTs to date on their branded platforms powered by Curios.
