Logos Networks Funding Round
Payments Platform Logos Network Raises $3 Million in Seed Funding
Dublin, Ireland, August 2, 2018 — Logos Network, a hyper-scalable decentralized payments platform focused on providing high volume, high speed transactions at low cost, announced today that it has raised a $3 million seed round investment from leading venture capital firms and angel investors through its Logos US Fund.
Participating in the round are: ZhenFund, Digital Currency Group, Inc. (DCG), INBlockchain, and Blockwater Capital. Other notable investors include Global Blockchain Innovative Capital (GBIC) and AlphaBlock Capital.
This new funding will enable the ongoing development of the company’s groundbreaking Logos platform, designed to surpass other blockchain models that lack either the capacity, speed, or security to power digital payments at scale. In addition, the Logos platform delivers a scalable, low-latency decentralized payment processing engine that cannot be matched by legacy payments rails.
“This funding is an important validation of our technical vision for Logos Network,” said Michael Zochowski, founder of Logos Network. “If we are going to truly realize the disruptive potential of distributed ledger in payment applications, we need to remove the hurdles to adoption — namely speed, volume, cost, and security. The Logos Network platform provides an elegant and secure solution to enable organizations and communities to scale transactions to unprecedented volumes.”
“We’re excited to work with Michael and the team to accelerate the future of secure, frictionless transactions that can be used in a number of exciting applications,” said Travis Scher, VP Investments at Digital Currency Group.
The launch team is made up of seasoned professionals including COO/CFO Doug Wallace and Head of Engineering Carl Hua. The software deployment team is noteworthy for its expertise in high performance, high reliability sectors, particularly Aerospace and FinTech, and research experience in cryptography and decentralized networks.
