Swell is a non-custodial liquidity staking protocol that is committed to providing the worlds best liquidity staking experience, simplifying access to DeFi, while ensuring the future security of Ethereum. It leverages a diversified AVS and a rich ecosystem of innovative applications (including Ion, Brahma, Ambient, etc.) to achieve re-staking upgrades. Through Swell, users can earn passive income by staking ETH, earn blockchain rewards, and receive a yield-generating liquidity staking token (LST) to hold or participate in the broader DeFi ecosystem to earn additional income.
It is worth mentioning that Swell L2 is migrating to the Optimism Superchain . This move will allow Swell L2 to join the Superchain as an Optimistic Rollup built on the OP Stack.
According to ROOTDATA data , in March 2022, Swell Network announced the completion of a US$3.75 million seed round of financing, led by Framework Ventures, with participation from IOSG Ventures, Apollo Capital, Maven 11, angel investor Mark Cuban, Synthetix co-founder Kain Warwick and Jordan Momtazi, Balancer founder Fernando Martinelli, Ryan Sean Adams, Bankless co-founder David Hoffman, Ren Protocol co-founder Loong Wang and Mask Network founder Suji Yan.
