Summary

Cosmos-based smart contracts platform Neutron acquired a 25% stake in Confio, the software company known for developing CosmWasm. This investment and strategic collaboration are aimed at increasing CosmWasm adoption and aligning the development strategies of Neutron and Confio.

In June 2023, Neutron raised $10 million in a seed funding round led by venture firms Binance Labs and CoinFund at an undisclosed valuation.
