Hivello – a company that is at the cutting edge of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) – announced an upsized funding round, raising an additional $1.5 million and bringing the total raised in the prior four weeks to $2.5 million.

This capital infusion is a testament to the confidence the market places in Hivello’s mission to democratize access to decentralized infrastructure. And the extended round attracted a roster of eminent new investors, including Blockchange (USA), Cypher Capital, MH Ventures, Primal Capital, Contango Digital Assets, and Candaq, joining industry leaders NGC, Blockchain Founders Fund, IDG, and others from the prior pre-seed investment round.

The additional funding round will enable Hivello to expand its technological capabilities, expedite product development, and strengthen its market position as a leader in DePIN services. This funding round (both original and extended) showcases the high conviction investors have in Hivello’s team and the DePIN industry’s potential. And as Hivello prepares for an eventful year following its successful technology launch, the company is well-positioned to make a significant impact on the global stage of decentralized services.

The blockchain is ideally suited to utilize the massive number of computers across the globe. Working together, these machines can rival the largest cloud providers, allowing owners to monetize without any of the capital expenditure. We are excited to back the great founders of Hivello, which is helping owners generate and optimize revenue by redirecting computation and other digital resources to its highest and best use case.”
