Odaily reports that Sprinter, a cross-chain infrastructure startup founded by Ethereum developers, has completed a $5.2 million seed funding round led by Robot Ventures, with participation from A Capital, Atka Capital, Topology, and Uniswap Labs Ventures. Several well-known angel investors also participated, including Ameen Soleimani of 0xbow and Eva Beylin of Optimism.

Sprinter focuses on improving the functionality of blockchain "solvers," which are off-chain bots, algorithms, and market makers that perform on-chain operations on behalf of users. The protocol is currently in private beta, and its core products include Sprinter Stash (a cross-chain credit protocol providing uncollateralized credit for solvers and market makers) and Sprinter Solve (providing a quote-based exchange API for dApps, wallets, and protocols).
