Orochi Network has closed its latest funding round, raising an additional $8 million and bringing its total funding to $20 million. Backed by the Ethereum Foundation (Grant), MEXC Ventures, Plutus VC, Bolts Capital, Presto Labs, Ant Labs, Anti Capital, Decom, and several returning investors from earlier rounds, this new investment underscores growing confidence in Orochi Network's vision and technology.
Why Trust, Not Hype, Will Shape the Future of On-Chain Assets
Every business leader exploring blockchain faces a key question: How can you trust the data behind high-value digital assets? For companies considering tokenizing real-world assets, such as property titles or supply chain inventories, the answer extends beyond technology.
It comes down to having enough confidence to rely on auditable data, not just promised data, for reputation, compliance, and operations.
Orochi Network, an R&D company recognized by the Ethereum Foundation, is placing data verifiability at the heart of this new era. Following a recent funding round, Orochi is advancing an infrastructure designed to make audit-grade, highly resistant records the norm for enterprise blockchains.
In essence, the company provides a verifiable data layer that underpins the next generation of financial systems. Imagine a global shipping company wanting to tokenize its container fleet. Each container has a digital record of its location, condition, and ownership history. If that data is compromised, the token loses its value.
They ensure that every record on a blockchain is cryptographically verified and highly tamper-resistant. It's the difference between taking a supplier's word for it and having an immutable, verifiable audit trail. This aims to establish them as a verifiable data layer for RWA.
This isn't just theoretical. The Orochi Network team highlights their zkDatabase, a product that has surpassed 10,000 downloads in just a few months and is already in use by over 40 enterprises. This adoption suggests growing demand for verifiable data solutions. It's one thing to have a whitepaper; it's another to have your technology quietly adopted by businesses that need verifiable data solutions now.
Backed by Builders, Adopted by Enterprises
A key signal of credibility in the often opaque Web3 world is validation from foundational organizations. Orochi Network is among the few blockchain R&D companies to have been officially supported by the Ethereum Foundation.
This backing is part of a broader base of support that includes investors like MEXC Ventures, Plutus VC, Presto Labs, Smape Capital, Anti Capital, Bolts Capital, and Connectico, with grants awarded by the Ethereum Foundation, Mina Protocol, Web3 Foundation, and BNB Chain
This foundation support represents meaningful validation. Orochi reports partnerships with over 120 enterprises and 1.5 million monthly users, signaling adoption beyond the experimental stage. They are addressing the complex data integrity issues that large businesses face daily.
"The gap between enterprise systems and blockchain trust has been the single biggest barrier to institutional adoption," says Mary Tran, CEO of Orochi Network. Her background at Binance and OKX gives her a clear-eyed view of what it takes to scale real adoption.
"Our infrastructure goes beyond proof; it provides a regulation-ready foundation for institutions," said Tran. "We're giving institutions the tools to meet compliance standards without sacrificing the core benefits of blockchain."
The Engine Under the Hood: Cutting-Edge R&D
The seamless experience Orochi Network aims to deliver is powered by some of the most advanced cryptography in the world.
With a team of over 30 researchers and developers who publish at top-tier academic conferences, this is a company built on deep technical fundamentals.
They aren't just using the technology; they're helping to build it. Founder and CTO of Orochi Network, Chiro Hiro, co-authored key Ethereum standards (ERC-6366 and ERC-6617) and has driven innovations like zkMemory, which, according to the company, is the first universal memory prover, and a zkDatabase granted by the Mina Protocol.
Their proof-agnostic approach, which seamlessly integrates with systems such as Halo2, zk-STARK, and Plonky3, is a key differentiator. Why does that matter? It indicates that they are not placing their bets on a single proof system.
That way, if the ecosystem shifts, say a new proof system becomes popular, they'll still be in a good position to adapt without slowing down. In short, they're building a multi-chain future in mind.
This technical prowess has a very practical bottom-line impact. By optimizing how data is proven and settled, Orochi Network aims to reduce the effective cost for an enterprise to anchor data on a chain like Ethereum.
Reducing the cost of verifying 1 KB of data might seem small, but at an institutional scale, cost savings could make tokenization more viable.
Trust as a Default Setting
For institutions, security isn't a feature; it's the baseline. Here, Orochi Network's credentials are stark. The network is ranked AA with a 90.35 score on CertiK, placing it in the top 3% of all projects globally for security.
Combined with a KYC Gold Badge, this creates a foundation of trust that is non-negotiable for corporate treasuries and asset managers.
This commitment to security and real-world applications is gaining notice beyond the crypto bubble. Orochi Network organizes Super Vietnam, the country's largest blockchain and AI enterprise conference, held in partnership with the Da Nang City People's Committee.
When a government body tasked with economic development seeks your counsel, it represents meaningful institutional recognition.
Positioned for the Next Wave
The Series A funding round comes at a pivotal moment. The conversation around RWAs is moving from "if" to "how." With a leadership team that combines deep cryptography expertise (CTO Chiro has over 17 years of experience in applied cryptography) with proven scale from traditional automotive (Co-Founder Vi Vi formerly led global community marketing for Vinfast), Orochi Network has positioned itself to pursue this opportunity.
They're not just building in a vacuum. According to reports, their GitHub traction exceeds that of several top 10 blockchains, indicating a strong development community has built around their products.
They're also putting real effort into mentoring the next generation of ZKP developers through the Orochi Foundation and ZKP Labs, which is a critical investment in the ecosystem's long-term development.
Orochi Network is working to build the infrastructure for institutional finance on blockchain. As real-world assets increasingly move on-chain, solutions for secure, interoperable, verifiable data infrastructure will become increasingly critical.
Armed with new funding and strong traction, Orochi aims to provide the infrastructure that will enable large-scale adoption of real-world asset tokenization.
