Following its success at the hackathon, it raised $2 million from Alameda Research, which is owned by crypto exchange FTX’s CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. Step Finance is looking to expand its platform to encompass NFTs, and its acquisition of SolanaFloor will take the company one step further in that direction. Solana Floor also won a Solana Hackathon and apparently currently has 23,000 monthly active users.
Co-founder of Step Finance, George Harrap, stated: “There are some users who don’t really know about DeFi and likewise, a lot of DeFi people who don’t really know about NFTs, so the sum is greater than two parts”.
