Slovakia-based exchange platform Mangata, which allows tokens of all ecosystems to be exchanged on a single platform, received investment from Paribu Ventures. In addition to Paribu Ventures, Mangata’s investment tour, which has collected 4.2 million dollars with a valuation of 60 million dollars; Altonomy, Polychain, IOSG Ventures, TRGC, Signum Capital, Infinity Ventures Crypto, Figment, ZMT Capital and AngelDAO participated.
Mangata will use the investment to develop and publish a protocol that finds a solution to MEV (Miner Extractable Value) attacks, which is seen as the biggest technical problem faced by decentralized exchanges. MEV attacks, which caused a loss of 902 million dollars to the users of the decentralized stock market only in 2020 and 2021; It means that the miner or validator does not queue the transactions in the produced blocks for his own benefit or takes it to the end of the queue. With this move, the miner or validator gets in front of the user during the transaction and manipulates the price, causing the user to pay higher fees for the same transaction.
Mangata, which was recently brought live on Polkadot’s Kusama network, plans to find a solution to the same problem not only in Polkadot but also in the Ethereum blockchain, with the protocol it has developed. Mangata aims to move its decentralized exchange platform to the Polkadot mainnet and grow rapidly with token issuance in the last quarter of this year.
Mangata Co-Founder and CEO Peter Kris, speaking about the investment round, said:
“ Mangata’s unique ‘Proof-of-Liquidity’ feature Together, we have added a different dimension to security in blockchain. While providing our users with an infrastructure that does not need to pay ‘gas fees’, we also managed to be fast and secure. With this investment round, we will continue to work across the Polkadot ecosystem and other blockchains with our vision to deliver a better decentralized finance experience for everyone. ”
Continuing to work with a team of 16 people for now, Slovakia-based Mangata continues to expand its team with the option to work remotely. You can follow the developments on Mangata’s Twitter page or Telegram group.
