Will Smith's Dreamers VC, Paris Hilton's M13, and other crypto industry pioneers from ventures including Origin Protocol, The Graph, FEI Labs, and exchange behemoths Crypto.com and Huobi also contributed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boba Network was valued at $1.5 billion in Series A, earning it the honour of being dubbed a unicorn. A unicorn in the startup world is a company with a valuation of at least $1 billion. In 2021, the crypto sector crowned dozens of unicorns<\/a>, with venture capitalists spending more than $25 billion on equity in developing blockchain enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enya, a decentralized infrastructure provider, introduced the Boba Network in 2018. Until the launch of its mainnet and BOBA governance token in September 2021, the project mainly went unnoticed. The BOBA coin is designed to help the network evolve into a DAO (decentralized autonomous organization).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
