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

Agora 融资 500 万美元，利用跨链平台增强协议治理

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.

加利福尼亚州旧金山 - 开创性的跨链平台 Agora 已获得 500 万美元的种子资金，用于彻底改变去中心化协议的治理系统。该公司的创新平台提供了一套全面的工具，使协议能够建立强大而透明的投票机制。著名的早期采用者包括 Uniswap、Optimism 和 Nouns，这凸显了该平台在区块链生态系统中日益增长的吸引力。

"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 联合创始人兼首席执行官 Will Zhang 表示：“Agora 使协议能够从互联网原生股权结构中获益，而不会产生相关的混乱。” “我们的平台简化了治理流程，使协议能够有效地管理其社区并做出明智的决策。”

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 领投了种子轮融资，Coinbase Ventures、Seed Club Ventures 和 Consensys Ventures 等知名投资者也做出了重大贡献。张是 Coinbase 的前设计师，领导着一支由经验丰富的专业人士组成的团队，其中包括联合创始人 Charlie Feng 和 Kent Fenwick。 Feng 是价值数十亿美元的金融科技公司 Clearco 的联合创始人，而 Fenwick 则在同一组织担任工程主管。

"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."

张说：“这笔资金将使我们能够加速我们的市场战略并大力投资于产品开发。” “过去一个季度对我们平台的需求激增证实了我们为协议提供一流治理解决方案的使命。”

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 对开源基础设施的承诺促进了与多元化的开发者网络、治理工具团队和初创公司的合作。这种协作精神极大地促进了平台强大的 API 开发。

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 坚信，代币支持的投票和集体治理对于互联网从专有控制过渡到集体协议至关重要。张强调，Web2 时代对私有应用程序的关注使集体协议处于起步阶段。

"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."

“虽然传统协议的运行可能需要最少的监督，但去中心化协议需要复杂的利益相关者网络的不断发展和共识，”张说。 “这种复杂性导致人们认为协议本质上不如股权治理的公司有效。”

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 将这种明显的低效率归因于缺乏对治理工具的投资。该公司的使命是通过提供专门为加强协议治理而设计的一套全面的开源软件来填补这一空白。

"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 在一份声明中表示：“我们相信，我们的合资企业的时机和意图符合区块链生态系统不断变化的需求。” “我们致力于为去中心化协议的发展奠定长期基础。”
