In an increasingly fragmented blockchain market, Analog – a rising project in chain interoperability – has successfully raised 15 million USD to drive its ambitious goal: unifying liquidity across different blockchains. This event has brought Analog's total funding to 36 million USD, marking an important step in the race to solve the biggest problem of DeFi today: cross-chain interoperability and liquidity.



Who is Analog and what problem are they solving?


Currently, blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, or Avalanche often operate as 'isolated islands', with liquidity dispersed and assets not easily transferable back and forth. This creates many barriers for users and developers wanting to interact across different ecosystems.


#Analog appears as a solution to that problem. The project is building a platform focused on multi-chain interoperability, with the goal:



  • Unified liquidity between existing blockchains.



  • Allows easy movement of assets, including both fungible tokens and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).



  • Expanding the application of tokenized real assets (RWA) – a trend that traditional financial institutions are particularly interested in.





Where did the new 15 million USD funding come from?


The latest investment of 15 million USD from Bolts Capital – a financial company specializing in digital assets. The transaction was carried out through token purchase, raising Analog's total fundraising to 36 million USD.


This is a noteworthy figure in the context of the crypto market still facing many challenges from macroeconomic factors and legal policies. The fact that an institutional investor like Bolts Capital invests heavily in Analog shows growing confidence in projects addressing the core infrastructure of blockchain.



Two core tools: OATS and Firestarter


The new capital will be focused by Analog on developing two core products:


1. OATS (Omnichain Analog Token Standard)

This is a multi-chain token standard that helps transfer fungible and non-fungible assets (tokens & NFTs) smoothly across different networks.



  • Similar to the ERC-20 standard for Ethereum, but expanded to multiple blockchains simultaneously.



  • Helps developers create compatible tokens or NFTs that can move between chains, reducing costs and risks when needing to 'bridge' through unsafe connections.




2. Firestarter – RWA (Real-World Asset) Market

Analog is also developing Firestarter, a platform to tokenize real assets, such as:



  • Real estate.



  • Collectibles.



  • Revenue-generating assets like securities.




Tokenizing RWA is seen as one of the closest applications to traditional finance and could open new capital flows from institutional investors who are still hesitant with pure crypto. However, the biggest barrier currently is the fragmented liquidity across platforms, making capital flow difficult.


Analog aims to break down that barrier through cross-chain connectivity – allowing tokenized assets to be traded and used across any blockchain ecosystem.



Why is 'liquidity unification' important for crypto and DeFi?


Currently, users wanting to transfer assets from one chain to another often have to use bridges, which are unsafe, costly, and slow. The isolated operation of blockchains also leads to fragmented liquidity, affecting:




  • Fair asset pricing.


  • Performance of DeFi protocols.



  • Application of tokenized assets in the real world.




If Analog succeeds with the model #OATS + Firestarter, they will create a 'liquidity highway' across ecosystems, enabling users to:



  • Easily and quickly trading assets.



  • Using NFTs or tokens on any chain on any other platform.



  • Promoting the application of tokenized real assets in traditional finance.





Connecting with the current crypto market


While the market closely watches memecoins, Layer 2 narratives, or RWA stories, projects like Analog play a foundational role in the long-term development of the entire industry.


Especially for users of exchanges like Binance, if Analog succeeds:



  • Tokens can be listed and traded across chains more smoothly.



  • Transferring assets between networks (Ethereum ↔ BNB Chain ↔ Solana…) will be much safer and faster than using the current bridges.



  • Binance could integrate the OATS standard to better support multi-chain for users.





Conclusion


Analog is not a popular blockchain project in the media, but their direction addresses the exact 'bottleneck' that the entire ecosystem is facing: interoperability and fragmented liquidity.


Successfully raising 15 million USD from Bolts Capital is an important step, not only for Analog but also for the future of DeFi and RWA.



Risk warning:

Investing in cryptocurrencies and blockchain projects can yield high returns but also comes with significant risks. Projects like Analog, despite having a long-term vision, are still in the development phase. Users need to consider carefully and should not invest beyond their risk tolerance. This is not investment advice.
