Azura, a new platform for decentralized finance, launched on Tuesday after raising $6.9 million in a seed round led by Initialized. Jackson Denka, its 21-year-old CEO and founder, says Azura will make DeFi easier by connecting a wide variety of crypto wallets, blockchains, exchanges, and other protocols within one interfacing layer.
“Azura is pretty much a platform that will let anyone trade anything from anywhere in the world enabled by DeFi,” Denka told Fortune. The trading terminal provides access to market data, full trade life cycle support, and DeFi assets like Bitcoin or smart contracts.
