Mysten Labs’ $300 million Series B round was led by FTX Ventures, the right arm of the FTX exchange founded by Sam Bankman-Fried.

Sui is the debut product of Mysten Labs and was announced in March. Mysten Labs is a startup specializing in Web3 infrastructure, jointly founded by Evan Cheng, Sam Blackshear, Adeniyi Abiodun and George Danezis , four former engineers from Meta’s Novi (formerly Facebook) crypto wallet.
