Whetstone announced the completion of a $1.30 million Pre-Seed round of funding from Variant, Nascent, Credibly Neutral, Uniswap Ventures, Ambush, Figment and several angel investors. Whetstone launched the Doppler protocol, which aims to optimize on-chain asset issuance and liquidity guidance, reduce robot panic buying, improve price discovery efficiency, and introduce programmable auditable attribution periods to improve long-term incentive alignment between project parties and the community. Doppler has been deployed to Unichain and is the first to provide front-end support through Pure Markets.
