According to a press release shared with U.Today, Cyclos, a new Solana-based decentralized cryptocurrency platform with an automated market-making engine, secures $2.1 million combined in private and public sales.

A clutch of top-tier blockchain-focused venture capitalists, including the likes of CMS Holdings, Hashkey, Solana Capital, Huobi Ventures, Coin98 Ventures, MXC, Gate.io, Skyvision Capital, Petrock Capital, Illusionist Group, Cryptomeria Capital, DigiStrats and Youbi Capital participated in this funding round.

Cyclos is going to advance liquidity processes on Serum DEX (SRM), a flagship decentralized cryptocurrency exchange on Solana (SOL).

Jason O'Brien, a spokesperson for Cyclos, stresses the paramount importance of this release for both Cyclos and the entire Solana DeFi ecosystem:

We're excited to fully begin the Cyclos journey with the strong backing we received. Cyclos introduces a myriad of functionalities to DeFi on Solana that, until now, were not possible with existing infrastructure. Range-limit orders, capital efficient liquidity pool bootstrapping and orderbook-based stable asset market making are all possible due to Cyclos' innovative approach to concentrating liquidity providers' assets.

Bringing novel AMMs to Solana (SOL)

Cyclos' core novelty is a one-of-a-kind type of concentrated liquidity pioneered by Uniswap V3. Funds transferred to Cyclos are utilized to provide liquidity on Serum DEX, according to the ranges specified by the LPs.
