Agora Raises $5 Million to Enhance Protocol Governance with Cross-Chain Platform

Agora 融資 500 萬美元，利用跨鏈平台增強協議治理

San Francisco, California - Agora, a groundbreaking cross-chain platform, has secured $5 million in seed funding to revolutionize governance systems for decentralized protocols. The company's innovative platform provides a comprehensive suite of tools that empower protocols to establish robust and transparent voting mechanisms. Notable early adopters include Uniswap, Optimism, and Nouns, underscoring the platform's growing traction within the blockchain ecosystem.

加州舊金山 - 開創性的跨鏈平台 Agora 已獲得 500 萬美元的種子資金，用於徹底改變去中心化協議的治理系統。該公司的創新平台提供了一套全面的工具，使協議能夠建立強大而透明的投票機制。著名的早期採用者包括 Uniswap、Optimism 和 Nouns，凸顯了該平台在區塊鏈生態系統中日益增長的吸引力。

"Agora enables protocols to reap the benefits of internet-native equity structures without the associated chaos," said Will Zhang, Co-Founder and CEO of Agora. "Our platform streamlines the governance process, allowing protocols to effectively manage their communities and make informed decisions."

Agora 聯合創始人兼首席執行官 Will Zhang 表示：“Agora 使協議能夠從互聯網原生股權結構中獲益，而不會產生相關的混亂。” “我們的平台簡化了治理流程，使協議能夠有效地管理其社區並做出明智的決策。”

Haun Ventures spearheaded the seed round, with significant contributions from Coinbase Ventures, Seed Club Ventures, and Consensys Ventures, among other prominent investors. Zhang, a former designer at Coinbase, leads a team of seasoned professionals including Co-Founders Charlie Feng and Kent Fenwick. Feng co-founded Clearco, a multibillion-dollar fintech company, while Fenwick served as an engineering executive at the same organization.

Haun Ventures 領投了種子輪融資，Coinbase Ventures、Seed Club Ventures 和 Consensys Ventures 等知名投資者也做出了重大貢獻。張是 Coinbase 的前設計師，領導著一支由經驗豐富的專業人士組成的團隊，其中包括共同創辦人 Charlie Feng 和 Kent Fenwick。 Feng 是價值數十億美元的金融科技公司 Clearco 的共同創辦人，而 Fenwick 則在同一組織擔任工程主管。

"This funding will enable us to accelerate our go-to-market strategy and invest heavily in product development," said Zhang. "The surge in demand for our platform over the past quarter has validated our mission to empower protocols with best-in-class governance solutions."

張說：“這筆資金將使我們能夠加速我們的市場策略並大力投資於產品開發。” “過去一個季度對我們平台的需求激增證實了我們為協議提供一流治理解決方案的使命。”

Agora's commitment to open-source infrastructure has fostered collaboration with a diverse network of developers, governance tooling teams, and startups. This collaborative ethos has significantly contributed to the platform's robust API development.

Agora 對開源基礎設施的承諾促進了與多元化的開發者網路、治理工具團隊和新創公司的合作。這種協作精神極大地促進了平台強大的 API 開發。

Agora firmly believes that token-backed voting and collective governance are essential to transition the internet from proprietary control to collective protocols. Zhang emphasizes that the Web2 era's focus on private applications has left collective protocols in their infancy.

Agora 堅信，代幣支持的投票和集體治理對於互聯網從專有控制過渡到集體協議至關重要。張強調，Web2 時代對私人應用程式的關注使集體協議處於起步階段。

"While traditional protocols may operate with minimal oversight, decentralized protocols require constant evolution and consensus from a complex network of stakeholders," said Zhang. "This complexity has led to the perception of protocols as inherently less effective than equity-governed companies."

「雖然傳統協議的運作可能需要最少的監督，但去中心化協議需要複雜的利害關係人網路的持續發展和共識，」張說。 “這種複雜性導致人們認為協議本質上不如股權治理的公司有效。”

Agora attributes this perceived inefficiency to the lack of investment in governance tooling. The company's mission is to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive suite of open-source software specifically designed to bolster protocol governance.

Agora 將這種明顯的低效率歸因於缺乏對治理工具的投資。該公司的使命是透過提供專門為加強協議治理而設計的一套全面的開源軟體來填補這一空白。

"We are confident that the timing and intent of our venture are aligned with the evolving needs of the blockchain ecosystem," said Agora in a statement. "We are committed to building a long-term foundation for the advancement of decentralized protocols."

Agora 在一份聲明中表示：“我們相信，我們的合資企業的時機和意圖符合區塊鏈生態系統不斷變化的需求。” “我們致力於為去中心化協議的發展奠定長期基礎。”
