NuConstruct, a company focused on accelerating Ethereum’s transaction speeds, has secured $6 million in seed funding from Cyber Fund. This investment will fuel the development of TOOL Protocol, an innovative platform aiming to achieve near-instantaneous transaction confirmation times on the Ethereum mainnet. 0xprincess, a developer on the TOOL Protocol team, emphasizes its permissionless nature and censorship resistance as key pillars for success, stating that TOOL aims to become ‘unmatched in liveness properties’. This funding will be instrumental in achieving the following: 1) reducing transaction time from potentially seconds to near-instantaneous confirmations; 2) potentially increasing Ethereum’s user adoption; 3) fostering new decentralized applications and services. By utilizing Intel TDX for enhanced security, TOOL Protocol seeks to improve upon existing protocols while addressing concerns around privacy and security, all while creating a more efficient platform. The project could disrupt the current landscape of Ethereum-based Layer 2 solutions, potentially offering faster and more secure transaction speeds compared to alternative options.
