SEOUL, South Korea, April 12, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Binance Labs, the venture capital arm and incubator of Binance, has led the recent $1.6 million round of strategic investment in MOUND, the innovative team behind Pancake Bunny. Launched in December 2020, Pancake Bunny delivers an engaging Defi experience that is informed by decades of product design and live service expertise. Today, Pancake Bunny is one of the leading Defi projects on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), adding over USD 1.6 Billion in TVL and over 20,000 DAU in the month of March alone.
MOUND will use the strategic investment by Binance, IDEO CoLab, SparkLabs Korea, Andrew Lee and others to accelerate the delivery of new, cutting-edge features and products -- such as Cross-Chain Collateralization and Smart Vaults -- and enhance the ongoing development and optimization of the Pancake Bunny platform. With this strategic investment, Binance and MOUND will work together to innovate across the full spectrum of Defi activity on BSC -- from farming to lending to swapping -- and to deliver the uniquely high returns that BSC makes possible to consumers outside the BSC community.
"MOUND's focus on the user has resulted in a fantastic product in Pancake Bunny. Pancake Bunny's growth and MOUND's commitment to execution are impressive. Team MOUND's expertise in live product design and service was a key factor in our decision to invest. We look forward to expanding the horizons of Defi together with MOUND," said Wei Zhou, CFO Binance, Head of Binance Labs & M&A's.
"We are extremely excited to partner with Binance to bring the massive returns enabled by the Binance Smart Chain to new markets," said Jun Hur, CEO and Co-Founder of MOUND. "Innovations such as Cross Chain Collateralization and Smart Vaults expand our reach to Ethereum and beyond, bringing us one step closer to realizing our vision to put the power of Defi in everyone's hand. With decades of experience across the game, app, and finance industries, Team MOUND is committed to a user-centered approach to design and live service. We are profoundly grateful to the incredible Pancake Bunny community, whose amazing support and enthusiasm have propelled Pancake Bunny to a TVL of over $1.6 billion and a DAU of over 22,000 in just 4 months."
This investment is part of Binance Labs' ongoing initiative to promote DeFi and blockchain infrastructure, and to support startup innovation.
