Lumia, which calls itself a “next-generation, hyper-capital-efficient, hyper-liquidity restakeable Layer 2 rollup,” announced a strategic funding round led by Nomura’s digital asset division, Laser Digital, with participation from key investors such as DWF Labs and TRGC. According to the team, “The round coincides with Lumia’s milestone of surpassing 25,000 selling nodes and is a key step in our mission to revolutionize DeFi and real-world asset (RWA) integration. The funds will support the development of Lumia’s innovative Layer 2 solutions and liquidity infrastructure, which aims to set a new industry standard by increasing the integration and utility of RWA on the blockchain.” Terms of the funding were not disclosed. According to project materials, Lumia is built on a “cutting-edge technology stack including PolygonCDK, NearDA and private DAC, Polygon AggLayer, EigenLayer AVS, account abstraction, and more, the result of joint development between GatewayFM (RaaS) and Lumia’s technology teams.” Lumia has its own “custom private Data Availability Committee (DAC), proprietary liquidity network (aka Lumia Stream), a decentralized sequencer, and fast finality and validity proofs for a secure, decentralized Web3 experience.”
