Thesis 建構的比特幣擴容網路 Mezo 已獲得 750 萬美元策略融資

此次募款也吸引了 ArkStream Capital、Aquarius Fund、Flowdesk、GSR、Origin Protocol 和 Mantle EcoFund 的參與。

Bitcoin scaling network Mezo, built by Thesis, has raised $7.5 million in a new strategic funding round. The round was led by Ledger Cathay Fund, the venture fund of hardware wallet provider Ledger. Other participants included ArkStream Capital, Aquarius Fund, Flowdesk, GSR, Origin Protocol and Mantle EcoFund.

由 Thesis 建構的比特幣擴容網路 Mezo 在新一輪戰略融資中籌集了 750 萬美元。此輪融資由硬體錢包供應商 Ledger 的創投基金 Ledger Cathay Fund 領投。其他參與者包括 ArkStream Capital、Aquarius Fund、Flowdesk、GSR、Origin Protocol 和 Mantle EcoFund。

The fundraising follows a $21 million funding round announced by Mezo in April, bringing its total funds raised to $30 million. “There were some additional checks put in following the last announcement that were not included in this strategic round,” said Mezo founder and Thesis CEO Matt Luongo, explaining how the total raised reached $30 million.

Mezo 在 4 月宣布了一輪 2,100 萬美元的融資，使其籌集的資金總額達到 3,000 萬美元。 Mezo 創辦人兼Thesis 執行長 Matt Luongo 在解釋融資總額如何達到3000 萬美元時表示：「在上次宣布之後，還有一些額外的支票未包含在本輪戰略融資中。

Mezo has onboarded 12,000 users who have deposited around 2,376 BTC, currently valued at about $160 million, according to Luongo. The platform also plans to use the new capital to further integrate with its other products.

據 Luongo 稱，Mezo 已吸引 12,000 名用戶存入約 2,376 BTC，目前價值約 1.6 億美元。該平台還計劃利用新資金進一步與其其他產品整合。

This includes its Bitcoin staking platform Acre, which allows users to mint liquid staked bitcoin (stBTC) by depositing Thesis’ (tBTC) or WBTC into Mezo. Users can then utilize stBTC across various applications on the Bitcoin ecosystem to earn yield.

這包括其比特幣質押平台 Acre，該平台允許用戶透過將 Thesis' (tBTC) 或 WBTC 存入 Mezo 來鑄造流動性質押比特幣 (stBTC)。然後，用戶可以在比特幣生態系統的各種應用程式中使用 stBTC 來賺取收益。

Ledger, whose venture fund led the round, will also integrate Mezo into its suite of products, according to Luongo.

Luongo 表示，Ledger 的創投基金領投了本輪融資，該公司也將把 Mezo 整合到其產品套件中。

While Mezo has yet to launch the MEZO token, plans for it will be announced later on, according to Luongo. The company currently utilizes a points-based program called “Proof of HODL,” which generates scores based on the length of time a contributor keeps their Bitcoins in storage.

Luongo 表示，雖然 Mezo 尚未推出 MEZO 代幣，但計劃將在稍後公佈。該公司目前使用一種名為「HODL 證明」的基於積分的程序，該程序根據貢獻者儲存比特幣的時間長度產生分數。

Details on whether the points earned from the “Proof of HODL” program will be converted into Mezo tokens will also be announced at a later date, according to Luongo.

Luongo 表示，有關「HODL 證明」計畫賺取的積分是否將轉換為 Mezo 代幣的詳細資訊也將在稍後公佈。
