U2U Network Secures $13.8 Million in Funding to Accelerate DePIN Development

U2U Network, a cutting-edge modular layer-1 blockchain leveraging advanced subnet technology, is proud to announce the successful completion of its funding round, raising an impressive $13.8 million. This achievement marks a significant step in U2U Network's mission to provide scalable, robust infrastructure tailored to the rapidly growing Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) sector. The funds will accelerate U2U's efforts to build a comprehensive solution for DePIN, empowering the Web3 ecosystem with enhanced scalability and efficiency.

Prestigious Backing from Leading Investors

The latest funding round attracted significant support from a diverse group of high-profile venture capital firms, including KuCoin Ventures, Chain Capital, IDG Blockchain, Cointelegraph, V3V, JDI Ventures, Tesseract, IBG, Blockhive, Maxx Capital, and UB Ventures. Among the investors, JDI Ventures stands out with a notable equity investment, signaling a strong commitment to advancing U2U Network's research and development in hardware technologies—a critical area for the growth of DePIN.

The support from KuCoin Ventures, the investment arm of KuCoin Exchange, highlights U2U Network's increasing global recognition. With over 34 million users worldwide, KuCoin Ventures’ backing is a pivotal move in U2U's international expansion. The funds will help accelerate the development of U2U's DePIN subnet and expand its global ecosystem, alongside support from Chain Capital and JDI Ventures, two of Asia's leading DePIN-focused investment funds.

Strengthening DePIN Vision with Hardware Innovation

JDI Ventures, a leading DePIN investment fund managed by blockchain hardware innovator JDI Global, is known for its $200 million portfolio backing projects like Helium, MCX Foundation, and MetaBlox. By investing in U2U Network, JDI Ventures is signaling confidence in U2U's vision of integrating decentralized technologies with physical hardware to drive DePIN adoption.

“We believe U2U Network’s vision and technology have the potential to set a new standard for decentralized physical infrastructure,” said Mr. Wang, Founder of JDI Ventures. “Their comprehensive solution isn’t just innovative—it’s essential for driving the real-world adoption of blockchain technology.”

Similarly, Chain Capital, one of Asia’s premier crypto funds, has invested in over 300 projects, including major names like Filecoin and Theta Network. Their investment reinforces U2U Network's standing as a leader in the DePIN and blockchain space.

A Sustainable Vision for Blockchain Adoption

“We are deeply grateful for the trust and support from our investors,” said Chloe Phung, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of U2U Network. “These funding rounds not only provide financial backing but serve as a powerful endorsement of our vision to revolutionize the device economy and build a fully integrated DePIN solution. At U2U, we are committed to a sustainable future, bringing blockchain technology to the masses and enabling users to earn monetary value in the most decentralized and incentivized way possible.”

The funds raised will be used to enhance U2U Network’s Subnet technology, which focuses on infinite scalability and decentralized operations (DoD). This investment is part of a broader trend in the crypto consumer revolution, where blockchain extends beyond investment to real-world applications, enabling the seamless integration of decentralized technologies into everyday life.

Cutting-Edge Technology for a New Era of DePIN

U2U Network combines advanced Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility to offer a scalable, flexible solution for decentralized applications. The platform's innovative subnet technology allows developers to create custom, scalable sub-networks, making it an ideal foundation for DePIN development.

A key factor in U2U Network’s success is its talented core team, composed of former employees from top-tier companies such as Ethereum, Google, and Infina. U2U Network is one of the few Y Combinator-backed startups in Vietnam, reflecting its strong foundation and leadership in blockchain innovation.

The DePIN Revolution: Transforming Infrastructure

The DePIN industry is evolving rapidly, driven by its potential to disrupt traditional infrastructure systems. Similar to the broader crypto consumer revolution, U2U Network is focusing on creating hardware solutions designed for scalability, resilience, and real-world adoption. This will empower seamless integration of decentralized technologies across various sectors, driving widespread transformation and adoption in the DePIN ecosystem.

Conclusion: A Game-Changer for the Blockchain Space

U2U Network’s $13.8 million funding round marks a critical milestone in its journey to becoming a global leader in DePIN and blockchain technology. With strong backing from some of the most influential investors in space, U2U is poised to continue advancing its subnet technology, expand its global ecosystem, and drive mass adoption of decentralized physical infrastructure.

U2U Network's commitment to scalability, hardware innovation, and decentralized solutions positions it as a major player in the evolving blockchain landscape, paving the way for the future of DePIN and decentralized technologies.
