Analog Secures $15M from Bolts Capital to Build the Liquidity Layer of Web3
Analog, the fast-rising interoperability protocol, has secured a strategic $15 million funding commitment from Bolts Capital. This deal marks a major inflection point in Analog’s ambition to unify liquidity across blockchain ecosystems and become Web3’s definitive liquidity hub.
With a rapidly growing network of 60+ partners spanning DeFi, RWAs, wallets, gaming, and AI, Analog is well-positioned to disrupt how liquidity and capital flow across decentralized ecosystems.
Strategic Backing to Power Omnichain Liquidity
Bolts Capital Fuels Analog’s Mission
Bolts Capital’s $15 million injection came via a major token purchase, underscoring high conviction in Analog’s vision. The strategic partnership is designed to supercharge Analog’s product innovation and ecosystem expansion across Web3 verticals.
Victor Young, Founder of Analog, emphasized the deal’s significance:
“This funding commitment is a major step forward as we build the infrastructure layer for unified liquidity in Web3. With this capital, we’re accelerating groundbreaking solutions like OATS, Firestarter, and Zenswap to scale RWA adoption, optimize liquidity, and unlock deeper DeFi markets.”
Backed by the Industry’s Finest
Analog’s funding momentum didn’t begin with Bolts. The protocol has already raised $21 million from top-tier investors like Tribe Capital, Wintermute, NGC Ventures, NEAR Foundation, Samara Asset Group, OrangeDAO, and GSR. This deep backing positions Analog among the most well-capitalized players in the interoperability and RWA infrastructure space.
Unlocking Omnichain Value: The Analog Ecosystem
Rapid Growth Across Web3 Sectors
Analog isn’t just a concept—it’s a thriving network. With over 60 integrated partners, Analog’s liquidity layer is already powering real-world use cases across sectors. Key collaborators include OKX Wallet, Frax, MetaStreet, Rarible, E Money Network, and Base.
Analog’s staking program is also attracting attention. Its $ANLOG token offers a striking 82.7% APY as of April 2025, rewarding early believers with substantial yield.
Testnet Traction Signals Market Fit
The protocol’s testnet ecosystem is showing signs of serious momentum. As of January, Analog had:
-
384,000+ users on its testnet
-
121,000+ claims submitted
-
182,000+ users eligible for airdrop rewards
Even NFTs are making waves in the omnichain world. Apps like Pixelport have bridged nearly 15,000 NFTs across chains, onboarding 58,000+ users into Analog’s ecosystem.
The Product Stack: Infrastructure for a Unified Web3
OATS: The Token Standard of the Future
At the core of Analog’s technical roadmap is OATS—the Omnichain Analog Token Standard. OATS enables seamless transfers of fungible and non-fungible assets between EVM and non-EVM chains, dramatically simplifying cross-chain interactions for developers and end users alike.
Firestarter: Fractional Ownership Meets RWA Liquidity
Analog is also launching Firestarter, a user-driven marketplace that tokenizes real-world assets—think real estate, collectibles, and income-generating assets. Supported by Black Label Ventures, Firestarter brings transparency and fractional liquidity to historically illiquid markets.
This RWA-native marketplace aims to democratize access and unlock new yield-bearing opportunities for Web3 investors.
Zenswap: Cross-Chain Swapping Reimagined
Zenswap, developed with Soramitsu, will change how assets are swapped across chains. By abstracting away complex routing, messaging, and conversion steps, Zenswap lets users execute cross-chain swaps in a single seamless transaction.
This is a big leap forward for usability—and a crucial tool for scaling omnichain DeFi.
GMPv2 and Solana-EVM Integrations: Supercharging Cross-Chain Interoperability
Alongside its new products, Analog is also rolling out GMPv2, its next-gen messaging protocol. Designed to further streamline omnichain communication, GMPv2 will serve as the backbone for liquidity movement, asset coordination, and messaging across fragmented chains.
Analog is also integrating Solana and EVM chains, creating direct bridges between some of the highest-throughput and most developer-friendly ecosystems in crypto.
The Bigger Picture: Why Analog’s Role in Web3 Is Critical
Web3’s promise of decentralized everything is often bottlenecked by fragmented liquidity and ecosystem silos. Analog aims to solve this by building the connective tissue of Web3—a unified infrastructure layer that allows capital, data, and assets to move effortlessly across networks.
This is especially crucial for RWAs (Real World Assets), which require deep, omnichain liquidity to expand in a decentralized world. Analog’s infrastructure empowers protocols, dApps, and users to tap into a single, aggregated liquidity layer, removing the inefficiencies of isolated capital pools.
As cross-chain use cases explode—from tokenized treasuries to DeFi lending backed by real-world income—Analog is positioning itself as the default liquidity and messaging layer for Web3.
What’s Next: Expansion, Integration, and Impact
With $15 million in fresh capital and unwavering support from Bolts Capital, Analog is doubling down on product expansion, ecosystem partnerships, and cross-chain integrations. This next phase of growth will bring more builders, investors, and users into its omnichain liquidity network.
A Bolts Capital managing director summed it up:
“Analog is one of the few teams solving interoperability at scale. As RWAs and cross-chain use cases grow, foundational infrastructure like Analog becomes indispensable. We’re excited to support this mission.”
Analog Is Building Web3’s Financial Plumbing
From token standards and messaging protocols to user-centric products like Firestarter and Zenswap, Analog is creating the building blocks for unified capital flow across decentralized systems.
By making liquidity interoperable and accessible across chains, Analog is not just solving a pain point—it’s setting the stage for Web3’s next wave of adoption.
