🌿 Botanika Round Closing Announcement Botanika has successfully closed its $1.5M round. This round was joined by the following investors: Institutional Investors: CRIT Ventures (@CRIT_ventures) Baboon Ventures (@baboonvc) Marble X (@MARBLEXofficial) Daedalus Angels (@daedalus_angels) Angel Investors: Jongchan (@guyukyukgu) — Trepa Johannes Jäger (@jayhuntar) — Metrix Capital Fez (@fez_xbt) — Voltr Shayn (@shaynshin) — Voltr Soju (@0xSoju) Cristian (@kiddoq) For the past several months, we have been quietly building towards one mission. Hardware that actually runs. A network that puts that hardware to work. And a token model where revenue comes from real usage, not from token inflation. NIMBUS is the first iteration of that work. Botanika started from a simple question. "If AI-era infrastructure ends up concentrated in five companies, is there a way to distribute ownership of that infrastructure?" To answer that question, we chose to stand at the point where DePIN, RWA, and AI meet. → DePIN supplies the hardware → RWA shapes the ownership structure → AI creates the real demand Each is a narrative on its own. Together, they become an industry. This round also marks a meaningful step in Botanika's alignment with the Solana ecosystem. With angels coming from Daedalus Angels, Meteora, Trepa — teams that have contributed significantly on Solana — Botanika now stands closer than ever to the ecosystem where high-throughput infrastructure, real economic activity, and on-chain composability converge. This is more than a list of names. It is a foundation for what comes next. The investors who joined this round did not come simply to commit capital. They came to build alongside us — to help expand the Botanika ecosystem, open new pathways, and bring more of the right people into this network. The conviction they showed is matched by the commitment to grow this together, over the long term. The infrastructure is real. The roadmap is real. And there has never been a better moment than now.
