AetheriumX Completes $8 Million Strategic Financing to Accelerate Web3 Finance and Interactive Economy Ecosystem Development

Odaily News: Web3 project AetheriumX, based on the Distributed Capital Intelligent Protocol (DCIP), announced the completion of an $8 million strategic financing round. This round was jointly led by CGV, GAINS Associates, DuckDAO, and Genesis Capital, marking AetheriumX's official entry into a strategic development phase centered on ecosystem-driven growth.

AetheriumX stated that the funds from this financing round will be primarily allocated to the following areas:

First, continuously optimizing the Distributed Capital Intelligent Protocol (DCIP) and its strategy execution network, and expanding core modules such as DeFi, GameFi, prediction markets, and the creator economy.

Second, launching and accelerating the ecosystem fund to support the incubation and growth of developers, studios, and community nodes.

Third, advancing ecosystem deployment in the Asia-Pacific region, with a focus on the Japanese and Korean markets, and strengthening community building and regional cooperation.

The project team emphasized that AetheriumX is committed to building a long-term, sustainably scalable Web3 ecosystem with genuine participation, rather than relying on short-term incentive-driven growth models. Unlike traditional single-yield platforms, AetheriumX, based on DCIP, creates a composable and evolvable on-chain interactive growth system. Through a programmable strategy execution layer, it transforms passive yield into a continuous, participatory process of ecosystem growth.

In terms of ecosystem design, AetheriumX adopts a dual-token structure: AXT is primarily used for ecosystem participation and strategy execution mapping, while VEXA assumes functions related to governance, risk control, and ecosystem coordination to support long-term collaboration and stable system operation.

The AetheriumX team stated that from the project's inception, the design has focused on auditability, governability, and scalability, ensuring that yield, participation, and governance processes are all verifiable on-chain. This strategic financing round will further solidify the infrastructure and connect more developers, creators, and community contributors. 2026 will mark the starting point for the formal implementation of AetheriumX's ecosystem strategy, propelling the project from the foundational verification phase towards large-scale ecosystem expansion.
