Hibit, an L1 blockchain for AI agents and next-gen DEX Tailored for TON Ecosystem with Omni-Chain Compatibility, Raise $5M Funding Round

March 22, 2025

Hibit, a Layer 2 blockchain network designed to facilitate cross-chain transactions and AI-driven digital economies, has secured $5 million in funding. The round saw participation from multiple investors, including Bochsler Finance, NVIDIA, Bo Shen of Fenbushi Capital, Waterdrip Capital, Web3 Venture, Betterverse DAO, and Hitters, alongside established Web2 entrepreneurs. The funds will be allocated toward advancing Hibit’s decentralized exchange (DEX), expanding its Layer 2 infrastructure, and integrating AI-powered financial automation.

The network connects multiple blockchains—Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, BNB, Kaspa, ICP, and TON—without the use of bridges, a method that reduces security risks associated with cross-chain transactions. Hibit DEX, the first major application within its ecosystem, is designed to merge centralized exchange efficiency with decentralized trading. The platform supports over one million transactions per second, offers permissionless listings, and integrates with AI-driven financial systems and meme-based communities.

Hibit’s founding team includes MIT alumni and individuals who previously built and operated a top 10 global cryptocurrency exchange between 2013 and 2017. With this latest funding round, the project aims to position itself as a key infrastructure provider for AI-driven transactions in decentralized finance. In addition to its ongoing development efforts, Hibit has announced upcoming initiatives, including airdrops, node sales, and a token generation event (TGE) later this year.
