Allium Labs Raises $16.5M in Series A Funding, says Jupiter Airdrop the Most Significant Blockchain Moment of 2024

Blockchain data platform Allium Labs has announced a successful Series A funding round, raising $16.5 million led by Theory Ventures. This brings the company's total funding to $21.5 million, with previous investments from Kleiner Perkins and Amplify Partners, who also participated in this round.

Founded in 2021, Allium Labs aims to simplify the complexities of blockchain data, making it more accessible and usable for businesses and individuals. The company's technology ingests, cleans, and standardizes blockchain data, transforming it into actionable insights.

According to Allium, the 2024 Jupiter Airdrop is one of the biggest moments in blockchain this year. It distributed nearly $700 million to almost 1 million wallets. This massive token issuance caused a significant surge in network activity, highlighting the scalability challenges faced by blockchain infrastructure.

Allium Labs played a crucial role in the landmark Jupiter Airdrop of 2024, one of the largest token distribution events in crypto. Their partnership with Phantom, a popular crypto wallet provider, enabled the smooth handling of the massive influx of queries during the airdrop.

The company has also been instrumental in analyzing the growth of stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency pegged to traditional assets like the US dollar. Their data insights have been utilized by major financial institutions such as Visa, Stripe, and PayPal, who are increasingly exploring the potential of stablecoins in payments.

In addition to their work with stablecoins, Allium Labs has been actively involved in combating Sybils' problem in the blockchain space. They have partnered with various projects, including Wormhole, Jupiter, the Drift protocol, and the Sanctum protocol on Solana, to detect and mitigate fraudulent activities like bot farms and fake accounts.

With the new funding, Allium Labs plans to expand its team, further develop its data platform, and continue its mission of making blockchain data more accessible and understandable.
