此次募资还吸引了 ArkStream Capital、Aquarius Fund、Flowdesk、GSR、Origin Protocol 和 Mantle EcoFund 的参与。

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 构建的比特币扩容网络 Mezo 在新一轮战略融资中筹集了 750 万美元。此轮融资由硬件钱包提供商 Ledger 的风险基金 Ledger Cathay Fund 领投。其他参与者包括 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 月份宣布了一轮 2100 万美元的融资，使其筹集的资金总额达到 3000 万美元。 Mezo 创始人兼 Thesis 首席执行官马特·隆戈 (Matt Luongo) 在解释融资总额如何达到 3000 万美元时表示：“在上次宣布之后，还有一些额外的支票未包含在本轮战略融资中。”

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.

据 Luongo 称，Mezo 已吸引 12,000 名用户存入约 2,376 BTC，目前价值约 1.6 亿美元。该平台还计划利用新资金进一步与其其他产品整合。

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.

这包括其比特币质押平台 Acre，该平台允许用户通过将 Thesis' (tBTC) 或 WBTC 存入 Mezo 来铸造流动性质押比特币 (stBTC)。然后，用户可以在比特币生态系统的各种应用程序中使用 stBTC 来赚取收益。

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

Luongo 表示，Ledger 的风险基金领投了本轮融资，该公司还将把 Mezo 整合到其产品套件中。

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，虽然 Mezo 尚未推出 MEZO 代币，但计划将在稍后公布。该公司目前使用一种名为“HODL 证明”的基于积分的程序，该程序根据贡献者存储比特币的时间长度生成分数。

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，有关“HODL 证明”计划赚取的积分是否将转换为 Mezo 代币的详细信息也将在稍后公布。
