OneBalance, a crypto infrastructure and developer tooling startup, has raised $20 million in a new venture/Series A round co-led by cyber•Fund and Blockchain Capital, with participation from Mirana Ventures and L2 Iterative Ventures (L2IV). The London-based company, founded in 2024, is building a toolkit that lets mainstream developers integrate onchain features such as token swaps, memecoin trading, and peer‑to‑peer payments directly into their apps without requiring users to manage chains, bridges, or gas. This round brings OneBalance’s total funding to about $25 million. The OneBalance Toolkit is positioned as an abstraction layer over multiple blockchains, aiming to simplify cross-chain user experience so that end users can interact with onchain functionality with minimal friction. By focusing on non-crypto-native developers, OneBalance is targeting the broader software market and attempting to turn crypto functionality into a set of plug‑and‑play primitives, rather than something that requires deep Web3 expertise. The new capital will be used to expand the toolkit’s capabilities, including support for additional blockchains and broader feature coverage, reflecting investor conviction that improved UX and cross-chain abstractions are critical infrastructure for the next wave of consumer and fintech applications using crypto.
