Biconomy (https://biconomy.io/), a blockchain transaction platform with Indian founders, announced today that it has raised $9 million in a private funding round led by DACM and Mechanism Capital, with strategic investments from Coinbase, Bain Capital, Coinfund, NFX, True Ventures, Proof Group, Ledgerprime, Primitive Ventures, Genblock, Rarestone Capital, Huobi Innovation Labs, and Capital Partners. The raise also includes angel investments from Stani of Aave, Hasu, Stephane Gosselin from Flashbots, Prabhakar Reddy from Falcon X, Arbitrum founders, and more. The completion of this round of financing includes participation from previous investors Woodstock Capital, Eden Block, and Zee Prime.
Web3.0 applications face critical roadblocks to user adoption including complex user onboarding and confusing transaction experiences. India has a 4.2+ million-strong developer pool, but only around 19000 developers are being attributed to blockchain technology. Biconomy brings a much-needed reprieve into the Indian tech ecosystem too.
At the core of Biconomy’s mission is to facilitate decentralized blockchain interactions and create seamless multi-chain experiences. By enabling use cases such as gasless transactions, gas payments in ERC20 tokens, instant cross-chain transactions & easy onboarding to scaling solutions, Biconomy reduces the friction between blockchain-based applications and end-users.
Aniket Jindal, the co-founder of Biconomy, said:
“The current crypto experience is complicated. Each interaction with a decentralized application is a complicated blockchain transaction that the mainstream users don’t understand. If we are able to simplify these complexities, we believe we will be able to onboard the next billion users into the crypto ecosystem.”
The new round of funding will enable Biconomy to further propel its multi-chain transaction infrastructure for next-generation Web3.0 applications. It will decentralize its relayer network, including making essential technological developments, as well as expand its business ventures putting an emphasis on community growth. Biconomy has dubbed this phase ‘the revolution of Web 3.0 interactions.’
Andrew Kang, the Managing Partner at Mechanism Capital, said:
“Biconomy’s powerful plug and play SDK and APIs enable developers to offer a convenient Web3.0 experience removing many of the friction points users are currently facing. By doing this, they are removing blockchain complexities which drastically helps to reduce drop-off rates and increase user retention.”
Biconomy has grown rapidly since its inception in 2019. To date, it has raised a total of $10.5 million. Biconomy has already processed over 3.6 million mainnet transactions representing $572 million transaction volume for 30+ live integrations on all major chains. They are also on an exponential trajectory with over 200 dApp integrations in the pipeline.
Adan D'Augelli, Partner at True Ventures, said:
“By enhancing developer and end-user experiences, Biconomy is paving the way for how blockchain applications are built. The technology they have created will be a core infrastructure for the future of blockchain-enabled digital economies.”
In addition to new funding, Biconomy is also gearing up to launch its native token $BICO as part of decentralizing its multi-chain infrastructure. The native token will secure the network, enable community governance and incentivize all stakeholders. Further details on the token haven’t been announced yet.
