L2 chain withdrawal service provider Rome raises $9 million in financing, with Hack VC, Bankless and others participating

Odaily News Crypto startup Rome announced that it has completed a $9 million financing round, with participation from Hack VC, Polygon Ventures, HashKey, Portal Ventures, Bankless Ventures, Robot VC, LBank, Anagram, TRGC, Perridon Ventures, and angel investors including Anatoly Yakovenko, Nick White, Santiago Santos, Comfy Capital, Austin Federa, and Jason Yanowitz. Founded by Anil Kumar and Sattvik Kansal, Rome aims to build Solana into a basic network for shared sequencers and data availability (DA), that is, using Solana as an auxiliary network to provide services for Layer2 blockchains built on Ethereum. The project is also committed to achieving "atomic transactions" between Ethereum Layer2 networks, that is, multiple transactions on different blockchains. If any part of the transaction fails, all transactions will not pass, and users will only pay the fees for Solana transactions. Rome plans to launch a test network at the end of 2024 and launch the main network in mid-2025. (CoinDesk)
