BlockDesk Ventures Invests in HydraSwap

Dear Community,

We are pleased to announce a strategic investment from crypto investment and consultancy BlockDesk Ventures.

Owing to strong investor interest, HydraSwap’s private fundraising round has been extended. The strategic investment by BlockDesk Ventures follows funding from Momentum 6, Kyros Ventures, In Square Ventures, Titans Ventures, and Definitive Capital. HydraSwap plans to apply the proceeds towards its upcoming product release of HydraSwap 1.0 and advanced trading modules.

HydraSwap Empowers LPs With the Tools of Big Money Managers

As the automated market maker (AMM) model matures, DeFi users are seeking more control over their staking, mining, and trading strategies. DeFi is opening up not only more liquidity but also new profit-making opportunities through arbitrage, for example. Currently, though, liquidity providers lose yield to more sophisticated arbitrageurs because they lack the tools to adjust positions like traditional money managers.

Known as the “Smartest DEX Ever,” HydraSwap levels the playing field for users by providing them with new functionality, including advanced orders and trading modules.

At the core of the HydraSwap platform is the Hydra Market Maker (HMM) smart pricing mechanism that gives LPs the flexibility of money managers to improve capital efficiency and reduce impermanent loss. All of these smart contract operations benefit from the high speed and low transaction costs of the world’s fastest blockchain Solana.

On HydraSwap’s smart features, Edward Sirofsky — BlockDesk Ventures founder commented

“Hydra swap has been our most anticipated strategic investment; we can clearly see the team take no shortcuts when it comes to development and they are building not only a dex which will be the go-to place for the Solana eco-system but also for other chains and personally I would go as far as to say it will become the go to place for any crypto enthusiast.”

Leading Blockchain VC Backs HydraSwap

With the HydraSwap investment, BD Ventures expands its portfolio companies operating on interoperable multi-chains including the high performance Polkadot and Solana blockchains. Like other BD portfolio projects, HydraSwap has introduced innovative concepts (e.g., the HMM) to DeFi to bring advanced features of centralized finance to decentralized finance. In addition to a seasoned blockchain investment team, HydraSwap will benefit from BD Ventures ecosystem of resources. They include a service provider platform, matching projects with experts and the soon-to-be-launched BlockDesk launchpad.

“BlockDesk Ventures has distinguished itself as an investor in projects bringing unique value propositions to DeFi through advanced protocols leveraging the superior performance of cross-chain ecosystems like Solana. We foresee many synergies evolving between HydraSwap and these other projects.”

— The HydraSwap Team

Once HydraSwap closes its private fundraising round, the token generation event (TGE) will be announced. The utility token will give LPs access to HydraSwap’s one-stop CEX-level liquidity mining platform, designed to bring liquidity mining without limits to DeFi through HydraSwap 1.0, DeFi Arbitrage and Smart Aggregation modules, and half a dozen other advanced integrated trading modules to follow.
