ChainCatcher news, modular blockchain Astria has completed a $5.5 million seed round financing, led by Maven 11, with participation from 1kx, Delphi Capital, and Figment Capital. The funds will be used to develop its shared Sequencer network. The Sequencer is responsible for coordinating transactions on Layer2 rollups, and Astria's goal is to enable anyone to deploy their own censorship-resistant rollup without relying on a centralized Sequencer.
