On-chain market execution layer startup aPriori, founded by former engineers from Jump Trading, Coinbase, and Citadel Securities, announced the completion of a $20 million funding round, bringing its total fundraising to $30 million. Investors include Pantera Capital, HashKey Capital, IMC Trading, and others. The company plans to apply high-frequency trading methods to DeFi to address wide bid-ask spreads and MEV leakage issues, while redistributing MEV. They have already launched a staking platform and an AI-driven DEX aggregator, Swapr, and plan to use the new funds to expand hiring, accelerate product launches, and deepen collaborations within the trading and staking ecosystem.
