Solana Optimistic Network (SOON) 结束了基于 Solana 的第 2 层扩展解决方案的融资

经过 2023 年开始的长达一年的下降之后，Web3 初创公司的融资正在趋于稳定。

Solana Optimistic Network (SOON) closed on a funding round for its Solana-based layer-2 scaling solution, an Aug. 27 announcement revealed.

8 月 27 日发布的公告显示，Solana Optimistic Network (SOON) 为其基于 Solana 的第 2 层扩展解决方案完成了一轮融资。

The funding round, dubbed the “co-builder” round, only solicited funds from individuals, notably excluding venture firms. Participants in the round included executives from Solana Foundation, Celestia, Avail, Coinbase Ventures and Solana Labs.

这轮融资被称为“共同建设者”轮，仅向个人募集资金，特别是不包括风险投资公司。此轮融资的参与者包括来自 Solana 基金会、Celestia、Avail、Coinbase Ventures 和 Solana Labs 的高管。

The funding round marks a relative recovery in funding for Web3 startups, which has seen a year-long decline since 2023. According to Crunchbase, crypto ventures locked up some $2 billion in financing in Q2 2024.

本轮融资标志着 Web3 初创公司融资的相对复苏，自 2023 年以来，Web3 初创公司经历了长达一年的下降。根据 Crunchbase 的数据，加密货币企业在 2024 年第二季度锁定了约 20 亿美元的融资。

SOON describes itself as an “efficient, high-performance rollup that allows for settlement on any layer-1, using the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) as the execution layer.”

SOON 将自己描述为“高效、高性能的汇总，允许使用 Solana 虚拟机 (SVM) 作为执行层，在任何第 1 层上进行结算。”

The funds from the round will support building SOON's core products, including SOON Mainnet and SOON Stack, the announcement noted. The specific amount of financing raised was not disclosed.

公告指出，本轮融资将支持 SOON 核心产品的建设，包括 SOON 主网和 SOON Stack。融资具体金额并未透露。

SOON Stack is “a modular framework that combines the SVM and OP Stack, allowing an SVM layer-2 to be deployed on any layer 1, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Cosmos.” Meanwhile, SOON Mainnet is a general-purpose SVM layer 2 deployed on Ethereum.

SOON Stack 是“一个结合了 SVM 和 OP Stack 的模块化框架，允许 SVM 第 2 层部署在任何第 1 层上，例如比特币、以太坊和 Cosmos。”同时，SOON Mainnet 是部署在以太坊上的通用 SVM 第 2 层。

“Our vision with SOON is to combine the power engine of Solana, SVM with liquidity and user base from other L1s, and to make SVM the standard for every L1 ecosystem - so every developer who has been constrained by the execution environment can bring the best UX to users,” said Joanna Zeng, SOON's co-founder and CEO.

“我们与 SOON 的愿景是将 Solana、SVM 的动力引擎与其他 L1 的流动性和用户群相结合，并使 SVM 成为每个 L1 生态系统的标准 - 让每个受到执行环境限制的开发人员都可以带来最好的结果用户体验”，SOON 联合创始人兼首席执行官 Joanna Zeng 说道。

SOON is designed to integrate with data availability (DA) layers, including EigenDA, CelestiaDA and Avail.

SOON 旨在与数据可用性 (DA) 层集成，包括 EigenDA、CelestiaDA 和 Avail。

The cost of securely storing and accessing transaction data has been a serious bottleneck for layer-2 scaling chains. Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade in March attempted to address this issue with temporary offchain data stores called “blobs.” Other protocols, such as EigenDA and Celestia, offer competing solutions.

安全存储和访问交易数据的成本一直是第二层扩容链的严重瓶颈。以太坊在三月份的 Dencun 升级试图通过称为“blob”的临时链下数据存储来解决这个问题。其他协议，例如 EigenDA 和 Celestia，提供了竞争性的解决方案。
