Web3 infrastructure startup completes $1.25 million Pre Series funding round

According to Chainwire, decentralized service infrastructure startup Catalysis has completed a $1.25 million Pre Seed round of funding, led by Hashed Emergent, which focuses on the Web3 ecosystem in India, with participation from Presto Labs, Spaceship DAO, Funfair Ventures, Cosmostation, and Crypto Times. The funds will be used to develop a "security abstraction layer" for re staking protocols, aimed at simplifying the process for developers and node operators to obtain economic security from re staking ecosystems such as Eigenlayer. Co founder Abhishek stated that there is a high degree of fragmentation in the integration of shared security protocols, and Catalysis's core products will lower the development threshold for AVS (Active Verification Service) applications through standardized interfaces. The company has partnered with mainstream staking platforms such as Eigenlayer and Symbiotic, and plans to launch a public testnet in the second quarter of 2025. The application scenarios will cover Web2 service areas such as cross chain bridges, oracle machines, zero knowledge proofs, and medical data systems.
