"@irys_xyz has secured $10 million in Series A funding, are they about to launch a token?"
Big news! CoinFund is leading the round!
This also represents institutional capital's direct recognition of the $30 trillion data economy infrastructure 👇
➣ Funding details and institutional backing
Let me share a few key numbers to get everyone excited:
Currently, @irys_xyz has raised a total of $20 million
Series A: $10 million, led by CoinFund, with participation from Hypersphere, Tykhe, Varrock, Breed, Amber, WAGMI
➣ What’s the value of this round of funding?
① First of all, institutions are smart and won’t write 8-digit checks for experimental projects.
Top-tier venture capital like CoinFund invests in infrastructure that can change the game. They see the potential of Irys as the "AI economic infrastructure layer."
② Data shows the flywheel effect has been activated.
Look at the on-chain data: over 600 million on-chain transactions processed, over 4 million daily active wallets, and over 80 strategic partners.
Aethir and Metaplex have both chosen Irys.
③ The potential for growth is significant.
Currently, FIL has a market cap of $1.64 billion, and Walrus has a market cap of $500 million, so Irys has considerable room for growth compared to similar projects.
However, Irys has clear technical advantages:
- 20 times cheaper than Filecoin, with retrieval speeds reduced from days to instant.
- More complete than Walrus, a true Layer 1 rather than just a dApp.
- The first programmable data chain, with built-in value capture capabilities.
Conservatively estimating based on Walrus's half size, it has a market cap potential of $300 million, and if it gains Filecoin-level recognition due to its technical advantages, that could reach $1.7 billion.
➣ The last opportunity before the mainnet
It seems this is the last chance before the mainnet, brothers, don’t miss this train!

WE'RE THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE...
Our $10M Series A fundraise, led by @coinfund_io, bringing our total funding to $20M.
