Svmuu News: Blockchain data infrastructure startup Cambrian has closed a $6 million seed round, co-led by Franklin Templeton and Polychain Capital, with participation from Flow Traders, Selini Capital, Paper Ventures, Nomad Capital, and others.
As previously reported by Svmuu, Cambrian had also secured $5.9 million in pre-seed funding led by a16z Crypto Startup Accelerator, bringing its total funding to $11.9 million.
Founded in 2024, Cambrian currently provides APIs for institutions and AI agents, covering real-time and historical on-chain data such as returns, risk, lending rates, trading activity, liquidity positions, and market sentiment, helping users allocate capital on-chain. The company plans to expand its existing APIs into a network of verifiable blockchain data oracles, serving institutional financial clients, AI agent builders, and protocols that require reliable data to manage capital flows. Unlike traditional oracles, which primarily provide price data, Cambrian aims to aggregate data from lending protocols, DEX liquidity, social sentiment, developer activity, and historical market data.
According to Cambrian, its platform has processed millions of API calls, currently indexes approximately $4.5 billion in TVL across four major lending protocols, tracks 1,789 vaults managed by 895 curators, and monitors over 320,000 DEX liquidity pools on Base and Solana. The company also plans to expand its trading data support by adding Hyperliquid and more comprehensive perpetual futures data.
