The Hub Crypto Payment, based in Tezos, said that it had raised 1.3 million euros (1.4 million dollars) in a seed financing cycle to extend the development of its platform.
La Ronde included the participation of investors of the angels Christopher Grilhault des Fontaines, founder of DFNS, and Jean-Luc Bernard, founder of Astek, according to an announcement by mail shared with Coindesk on Tuesday.
Lyzi, built on the Tezos Layer-1 blockchain, allows consumers to use cryptocurrency to make daily payments in retail and electronic sales environments. Merchants perceive payments in cryptocurrency and receive Fiat directly to their bank accounts.
After the increase in seeds, Lyzi’s next step is the launch on layer 2 of Tezos, Etherlink, which is compatible with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), the operating system of the second world blockchain.
“Our objective is to make the payments accepting in crypto so easy that traders must ask themselves:” Why would I not do that? “” Said Damien Patureaux in Tuesday’s announcement.
Based on Etherlink represents the next phase of his trip to extend to more markets around the world, he said.
