Blockchain firm Radix Tokens has raised $10 million in fresh funding ahead of the introduction of its Babylon mainnet, which will allow smart contract capability on the Radix network for the first time.

The funding round was led by market maker and investment firm DWF Labs and gives Radix Tokens a valuation of $400 million, the Jersey-based firm said in email on Thursday.

One of Radix's main aims is to tackle the risk of hacks in decentralized finance (DeFi). It does this through Scrypto, an "asset-orientated smart contract language," which provides developers with an off-the-shelf tool for creating assets and setting the rules by which they can be transacted. The blockchain has more than 50 projects building on it, offering trading, saving, lending, gaming, non-fungible tokens (NFT) and wallets.

Market Maker DWF Labs Emerges as Top Crypto Investor

Investment in crypto companies, which poured in at a record pace during the 2021 bull market, slowed to a near stop as the bear market began and headline-grabbing scandals rocked the industry.

Artificial intelligence-focused crypto protocol Fetch.ai has raised $40 million from market maker and investment firm DWF Labs

Both of these are traditional software that do not use cryptocurrencies or blockchain, However, a spike in institutional interest in their parent company โ€“ OpenAI, which recently raised $10 billion from Microsoft at a $29 billion valuation โ€“ has helped create a compelling argument for crypto traders to bet on AI-focused tokens as the next growth sector.
