Singapore October 11, 2023 HTX Ventures announced its investment in REPUBLIK, an emerging Web3 startup within the domain of social platforms. This investment aims to support REPUBLIK in advancing its Web3 platform designed for creators and their supporters to connect and earn rewards. HTX Ventures' investment underscores its steadfast commitment to long-term industry advancement and its dedication to fueling innovation and growth within the blockchain ecosystem and the creator economy.
HTX Ventures joined 13 other prominent investors in REPUBLIK's successful $6 million seed funding round, pushing its valuation to $75 million. Founded in 2022, REPUBLIK is a technology company headquartered in Singapore that provides content creators a platform to engage with their communities and reward their followers based on their interactions. This empowers creators to create, engage with, and monetize their content. As the community continues to expand rapidly, REPUBLIK is redefining the landscape of online interaction.
The funds raised will be allocated to furthering the development of REPUBLIK's platform and the establishment of their state-of-the-art Web3 creator tools on the blockchain. Although REPUBLIK's app is currently in beta on Android, iOS, and the web, it has garnered significant interest. The platform provides creators with inventive methods for interaction and recognition for their contributions.
A representative from HTX Ventures commented "the landscape of social platforms is undergoing a transformation with the emergence of Web3, and REPUBLIK's distinctive practice of consistently rewarding the community sets them apart within the realm of SocialFi projects. In addition to their creator-centric approach, REPUBLIK holds the potential to offer a compelling value proposition for existing Web2 users."
"For too long, people have devoted their time, attention, and creativity to existing platforms, often receiving little in return. REPUBLIK is set to change this by ensuring a fair distribution of community value. We're thrilled to have investors who share our vision and partners who are assisting us in building a genuinely community-owned platform," expressed REPUBLIK's CEO Daniel He.
