Quicknode aims to streamline the Web2 to Web3 movement with $60 million in Series B funding led by 10T Holdings
On January 24, 2023, Quicknode revealed that it has raised $60 million in a Series B funding round led by 10T Holdings. Other participating investors in the round include QED, Tiger Global, Alexis Ohanian’s Seven Seven Six and Protocol Labs. “This latest round will be used to accelerate the company’s global expansion and further empower developers laying the foundation for a decentralized, globally connected future,” Quicknode’s announcement said.
Quicknode also raised $35 million in a Series A in October 2021. That round was led by Tiger Global, and Seven Seven Six, Soma Capital, Arrington XRP Capital, Crossbeam and Anthony Pompliano also participated. Quicknode claims to handle “billions of blockchain calls daily with 2X faster response time than competitors.”
Quicknode competitors include firms such as Kaleido, Alchemy, Blockcypher, Velas and Infura. The company said Tuesday that the funds will be used to “streamline the Web2 to Web3 movement at scale.” The company also plans to hire new and develop Web3 offerings for the Quicknode market. Despite the crypto winter, the company added that “QuickNode has seen remarkable growth over the past year with revenue growing more than 300%.”
“At Quicknode, we firmly believe in Web3 as the future of the Internet,” Alex Nabutovsky, CEO and co-founder of QuickNode, said in a statement. “Blockchain adoption and development continues to increase year over year and we expect continued momentum in the area. The industry is about to enter its next era, and with this surge we are preparing for mass adoption of blockchain technology in 2023 and throughout the rest of the decade. We are proud to help our customers scale to their full potential and move the industry forward,” added Nabutovsky.
