Ironforge nabs $2.6M to build platform

Serverless Solana development platform Ironforge announced that it has raised a $2.6 million pre-seed round led by Reciprocal Ventures. Other investors include Miami-based Hash3, 6th Man Ventures, Alchemy, Monoceros Ventures and Portage Ventures. These funds will enable Ironforge to build their platform and expand their team.

​The startup, which also released its product in a private beta, aims to make it easier for developers to integrate the blockchain powering Solana into existing systems. The idea is that the novel nature of Solana makes developing on its blockchain tricky. Ironforge reduces this complexity by simplifying app integrations and giving developers shortcuts to popular features.

“I’ve had the longstanding conviction that blockchain’s potential won’t be unlocked until web3 devs have access to frameworks and tooling that are similar to what we’ve grown accustomed to in web2,” Ironforge CEO Italo Casas said in a statement. 

“We created Ironforge to ensure developers need to do as little undifferentiated work as possible, devoting as much of their time and energy towards the thing that makes their product unique.”
