Amitej Gajjala, CEO of Stader Labs had this to say in the press release:
This capital will be strategically deployed to accelerate our cross-chain expansion, as well as to nurture our growing ecosystem of third-parties developing staking applications with decentralized Stader infrastructure.
Stader Labs is currently focused solely on Terra Staking, but plans for expansion to offer Solana Staking and ETH Staking are well under way, and funding from the current round will be used in order to continue development work.
Gajjala said the company aims to have $10 billion in assets under management by the end of the year, with the goal of a 1,900% increase from current levels.
In a nutshell, we want to be the AWS for staking infrastructure.
