OKX Ventures Announces Pre-Seed Round Investment in Cygnus Finance, a Modular Real Yield Layer
OKX Ventures, the investment arm of global technology company OKX, today announced its participation in the pre-seed investment round for Cygnus Finance, a modular real yield layer, recognizing its potential to bridge Web3 and Web3 through innovative creator economy solutions while establishing new standards for restaking infrastructure.
Cygnus is a modular real yield layer, empowering any blockchain to easily customize its own restaking network and achieve shared security. As the end game of real yield, assets from both on-chain and off-chain can be restaked into Cygnus LVS to serve as liquidity validation, driving seamless coordination and economic security (including partners such as MakerDAO, Linea, Base, Movement, Sonic SVM, Omni Network, Synfutures, Bitlayer, Hemi Network and others). Cygnus will support more AI assets and computing power after the acquisition of OASIS AI Limited, driving forward the democratization of cutting-edge AI technology.
Cygnus is building the first Web3 Instagram App Layer, merging on-chain and off-chain assets to power the creator economy and onboard the next billion users onto Web3. Cygnus will deploy Instagram ads and partner with Instagram creators, so users can support their favorite creators and share in the earnings with the platform’s algorithm recommending Cygnus campaigns to users in target regions. Cygnus will also utilize the Instagram account for interactive games, branded challenges and live streams — building a central hub for blockchain education with simplified guides and tutorials.
Cygnus will ultimately build a transparent and decentralized economic network within emerging ecosystems, establishing a sustainable model that drives real-world utility and supports mass adoption.
