Leading the charge is Monad, which has raised $225 million. This new Layer-1 blockchain is designed for speed and interconnectivity, boasting capabilities like 10,000 transactions per second, one-second block times, and single-slot finality.
Monad’s EVM compatibility further improves its appeal, positioning it as a significant player in enhancing blockchain efficiency and scalability.
Berachain has also made a notable impact, raising $169 million. Known for its unique Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism, this EVM-compatible blockchain integrates validators and projects through an economic model designed to enhance liquidity and governance.
Its strategy to align network incentives has attracted significant investment. Subsequently, highlighting its potential to influence the blockchain ecosystem.
Not far behind, Farcaster has secured $150 million. This community-driven protocol aims to improve social networks by giving users control over their data.

Another important project is EigenLayer, which has secured $100 million in funding. Built on the Ethereum network, EigenLayer allows protocols to leverage Ethereum’s secure trust network without establishing its own validator set. By offering off-chain data availability to Layer 2s, EigenLayer helps reduce costs and improve efficiency.
The EIGEN token is used for staking alongside ETH restaking. More importantly, the protocol has amazed over $18 billion in total value locked to date.
Meanwhile, Babylon has raised $70 million, introducing Bitcoin as a staking asset. This approach allows Proof-of-Stake chains to tap into the vast reserves of BTC for funding. Therefore, they bridge the gap between Bitcoin and Proof-of-Stake ecosystems and offering new avenues for financial growth and stability.
“The ability for holders to stake their Bitcoin whilst retaining their keys is a significant breakthrough. It is a hard problem that has been solved by Babylon with some cryptographic genius,” Alasdair Foster, CEO of Bullish Capital, said.
Similarly, Avail has garnered $70 million in funding. This Web3 infrastructure layer supports modular execution layers to scale and interoperate in a trust-minimized way. Avail’s infrastructure caters to the growing demand for scalable and interoperable blockchain solutions, supporting a wide range of applications in the Web3 space.
Finally, Eclipse has raised $50 million by positioning itself as “Ethereum’s fastest Layer-2”. By running the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) as a rollup on Ethereum, Eclipse aims to provide scalable and cost-effective solutions. Indeed, these are built for developers and users interacting with Ethereum and Solana smart contracts.
With significant capital backing, these altcoin initiatives could drive the next wave of innovation in the crypto market.
