MsafeIn addition to introducing Circle's recent DeFi investments, I also list their recent investments related to blockchain services and infrastructure, as follows:
Rarimo: TipLink is a lightweight wallet designed to make transferring digital assets as easy as sending a link. Anyone with cryptocurrency can create a TipLink and send that link to anyone via any platform (text, discord, email, etc.). Once users connect their wallets to TipLink, they can deposit funds and then transfer ownership through a shared link. Each transaction also creates a new wallet, so the recipient doesn't need to download a new browser extension or app to spend the money. And, if the recipient does not claim the funds, the sender can still recover the funds.
: Zero-knowledge identity oracle provider zkMe, zkMe allows users to encrypt their data and prove it on their own devices using ZKP to efficiently authenticate users while protecting their privacy.
: Rarimo is a multi-chain protocol designed to address liquidity, access, and interoperability between non-fungible and fungible use cases. Rarimo makes it easier to work across different chains, allowing users to perform operations such as transferring tokens, pledging tokens, and providing proof of ownership across chains. The Rarify Labs behind it serve Rarimo's service providers and community members.
