Blockdaemon’s investment journey proves the growing blockchain ecosystem and the importance of the institutional-grade infrastructure that the company provides. Its services range from node operations and infrastructure tooling to staking as a service. The investor belief in Blockdaemon can be deduced from its successful funding rounds starting with the Series A raising $28 million and later in September 2021, the Series B round that raised $155 million to make the company officially a unicorn at a $1.26 billion valuation. Amassing a total of $400 million in investment, the company has achieved growth across all dimensions.
