Semantic Layer secures $5 million in Series A funding to address the lack of institutional oversight in blockchain management
- Semantic Layer raised $5M in Series A led by Greenfield Capital, following a $3M seed round from Figment Capital. - The firm develops blockchain infrastructure enabling institutions to control on-chain transaction sequencing via AI agents, addressing DeFi fairness and front-running risks. - Investors highlight growing institutional demand for blockchain solutions, with Semantic Layer targeting tokenization, global payments, and dApp integration. - Challenges include scaling institutional-grade compliance
Semantic Layer, a company specializing in blockchain infrastructure with a focus on on-chain AI and decentralized applications (dApps), has raised $5 million in a Series A round led by Greenfield Capital, according to a
According to VentureBurn, the company’s solutions are designed to connect conventional financial processes with decentralized blockchain settlements, offering institutions the tools to incorporate blockchain into their operations. At the core of its platform is an on-chain execution framework, giving dApps the ability to determine the order and processing of actions. This is especially important in decentralized finance (DeFi), where the sequence of transactions can affect both efficiency and fairness. By utilizing AI-driven agents, Semantic Layer aims to minimize risks such as front-running and transaction lags, while also boosting transparency.
This investment comes as the need for institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure grows. VentureBurn reports that Semantic Layer has handled billions in transaction volume since its inception, positioning itself for expansion as the market shifts toward tokenization, international payments, and DeFi solutions. The company intends to grow its engineering team, improve its API offerings, and strengthen partnerships, all with an emphasis on wider adoption of its sequencing technology. Investors see this as a timely move, as blockchain companies transition from niche solutions to foundational infrastructure with broader goals.
The Series A funding for Semantic Layer reflects a larger movement toward greater investment in decentralized AI. By prioritizing asset sequencing autonomy—allowing clients to manage transaction order without depending on outside validators—the company addresses a significant barrier to institutional blockchain adoption. This strategy could pave the way for new types of dApps, where systems function with consistent logic and less dependence on middlemen, a point also discussed in an
Despite positive momentum, obstacles remain. VentureBurn notes that Semantic Layer must prove its technology can handle institutional-scale volumes while staying compliant across different legal environments. The blockchain infrastructure sector is becoming more competitive, and regulatory ambiguity continues in many areas. Still, with Greenfield Capital’s backing and earlier support from Figment Capital, the company appears well-positioned to address these challenges.
The $5 million Series A round gives Semantic Layer the resources to strengthen its presence in the
