According to official news, Gate Ventures announced a lead investment in Goblin Finance’s strategic funding round to support the development of native liquid staking and yield infrastructure within the Aptos ecosystem. This funding round raises $1 million, which will be used to accelerate improvements to yield aggregation mechanisms and ecosystem collaboration.
As the venture capital arm of Gate, Gate Ventures consistently focuses on infrastructure development and innovative opportunities in multi-chain ecosystems. This investment aims to help the Aptos ecosystem build an efficient and secure revenue infrastructure, provide a sustainable utilization path for on-chain capital, and promote the long-term development of the Web3 financial infrastructure.
According to public data, Goblin Finance’s core architecture “Yield Hub + Yield Enhanced LST” is designed to build an integrated yield infrastructure. The project plans to leverage the funds to expand diversified revenue strategies, strengthen the competitiveness of goAPT products, deepen integration with major protocols in the Aptos ecosystem, and form an interconnected revenue network across chains and markets.
The Aptos ecosystem is currently in a rapid expansion phase, with total value locked (TVL) reaching approximately $680 million. Currently, the Aptos ecosystem protocol is mainly focused on DEXs and stablecoins, lacking a systematic revenue layer or efficient capital utilization mechanism. A mature yield infrastructure is urgently needed to improve capital efficiency and sustainability. Gate Ventures believes Goblin Finance’s model has the potential to become a key element of Aptos’ native LST yield standard and provide important support for the long-term growth of the ecosystem.
Since its launch, Goblin Finance’s total lock has increased five times and now stands at approximately $27.6 million. The platform integrates protocols such as Hyperion, covers over 10 core strategies and several mainstream trading pools, and demonstrates robust yield performance and high user retention.
Gate Ventures says this investment is another important move within the Aptos ecosystem. Going forward, Gate Ventures will continue to support the growth of high-quality projects in a multi-chain environment, drive infrastructure development in key sectors such as yield, liquidity, and asset management, and contribute to the professionalization and sustainable development of the Web3 financial ecosystem.
