• Quasar Finance, a decentralized asset management protocol using the Inter Blockchain Communication (IBC) technology released by the Cosmos blockchain ecosystem, has raised $5.4 million in a funding round.

• The capital will go toward product development and scaling out the team.

Quasar Finance, the decentralized asset management protocol released by the Cosmos blockchain ecosystem, recently announced the successful completion of a $5.4 million funding round. The venture capital firm Shima Capital led the round, which was completed at a $70 million valuation.

The impressive funding round included investments from a number of prominent investors, including Polychain Capital, Blockchain Capital, HASH Capital, CIB and Osmosis co-founder Sunny Aggarwal. The capital raised will be used to further develop the Quasar product and expand its team.

Quasar Finance is an interoperability-focused protocol that uses its Inter Blockchain Communication (IBC) technology to address the fragmentation problem that exists between multiple blockchains. The protocol allows users to create and join vaults, which are independent asset containers capable of connecting tokens and data transfers across different blockchains.

The success of this funding round is a testament to the promise of decentralized finance, which has been put in the spotlight following the collapse of the multibillion-dollar centralized crypto exchange FTX. Quasar Finance’s plans to offer structured investment products for DeFi, starting with an automatically rebalancing index of the Cosmos ecosystem, could prove to be a game-changer for the DeFi space.

As Quasar Finance looks to further develop its product and expand its team, the protocol is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing interest in decentralized finance. With the help of this new funding, the protocol may be able to more effectively capitalize on the tremendous potential of the DeFi space and make a lasting impact on the industry.
