Blockchain investment firm CoinFund led a $10 million Series A funding round for Irys, a datachain platform focused on unlocking value within the trillions of dollars currently trapped in the data economy. This brings Irys’ total funding to $20 million as it aims to build a scalable infrastructure for onchain data management and monetization. The platform leverages programmable data access and security to provide an AWS-like experience for users, enabling them to embed instructions on licensing, monetizing, and controlling their data. Irys plans to use the funding to expand its infrastructure, team, and strategic partnerships as it moves closer to its mainnet launch and aims to drive widespread adoption within the institutional market.
