Obscuro Labs Secures $9M Funding for Ethereum Layer 2 TEN Development

Founded by former R3 executive Gavin Thomas in 2022, Obscuro Labs has seen substantial contributions from its team, with over half originating from R3, where they developed the renowned permissioned blockchain, Corda. Notably, R3’s co-founder Todd McDonald played a pivotal role in leading Obscuro’s funding round, emphasizing R3’s unwavering support for TEN since its inception.

Addressing concerns regarding DWF Labs, an investor in Obscuro, Thomas clarified that their involvement predates any controversies surrounding the firm. DWF Labs’ investment was made before any controversies emerged, and their actions as a market maker, which are unrelated to Obscuro, have been the subject of scrutiny. Additionally, Thomas highlighted that DWF Labs is among the smaller investors in Obscuro.

Overall, the latest funding round underscores the growing confidence in Obscuro’s innovative Ethereum Layer 2 solution, TEN, as it continues to garner support from industry leaders and investors alike.
