January 5th, 2022
Since ETHDenver 2020 we have been building out Swivel, the decentralized protocol for fixed-rate lending and interest-rate derivatives, as a small team of two working with the constraints of a minimal self-funded budget. \*\*Today, we are happy to announce that this changes with the closing of our 1.15M seed round led by Multicoin Capital. \*\*The round includes additional investment from industry leaders Electric Capital, CMS Holdings, Divergence Ventures and Defiance Capital as well as influential angels including Stani Kulechov, CEO of Aave, Alex Pack, Huobi Advisor, and Imran Khan of DeFi Alliance. We plan to use these funds to rev-up our development cycle and push towards our anticipated Swivel v1 mainnet launch
