3. StakerDAO| $3m | Borderless Capital and others| series A round
StakerDAO closed round A for $ 3m, funds raised from lead investor Borderless Capital and additional investors Polychain and Lemniscap. The project develops DeFi products in the Algorand ecosystem. Algorand, in my opinion, is very underestimated now, since many STOs will go on it and DeFi is being developed.
