We are excited to announce Daylight has raised $6M, led by USV and co-led by 1kx.
Daylight is the βonchain for youβ API that powers the Home and Discover tabs of major wallets like Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, Zerion, and OKX Wallet with personalized transaction recommendations: mints, claims, quests, and more.
Itβs like the home tabs of Netflix or Spotify, but with things to do onchain instead of movies or music. Every month, we make transaction recommendations to >6M addresses.
We are grateful to be backed in this round by USV and 1kx, whose experience in internet and crypto networks will give us a significant edge as we grow the Daylight network. Prior pre-seed investors Framework Ventures and Chapter One also participated in this round, as well as new angels including evgeny.eth (Co-Founder, Zerion), vadim.eth (Co-Founder, Zerion), corbin.eth (early Consensys), idobn.eth (Co-Founder, Blockaid), razniv.eth (Co-Founder, Blockaid), nir.eth (Co-Founder, Yup), and Shreyas Hariharan (Co-Founder, Llama). This round brings the total raised to $9M.
With this new capital, we are hiring staff-level backend engineers to scale from 6M monthly addresses to tens of millions, expand beyond mints, quests, and claims into new recommendation categories, and leverage our offchain data to improve our algorithm.
We are just getting started - powering the front doors of the onchain world is the first step in our mission to drive 5% of all onchain GDP.
We are looking for staff-level backend engineers with deep experience designing and scaling REST APIs. Our API serves tens of thousands of requests per second, summarizing millions of rows of offchain data and terabytes of onchain data in hundreds of milliseconds.
The problems we work on are meat-and-potatoes software engineering: writing code understandable to others; optimizing PostgreSQL queries; tracing code paths for bottlenecks; getting the most out of AWS infrastructure.
These are some things we believe in as a team:
Prioritizing the problems that most impact our goal
Minimizing distractions
Writing good tests
Communicating openly and directly
Everyone, and especially engineers, thinking about product and API design
More details can be found on our careers page.

I just collected Daylight Raises $6M from USV 1kx on Paragraph Congrats on the raise @kyle @daylight
A bug that is kinda brutal rn - anytime I navigate to a Paragraph article (ie https://blog.daylight.xyz/daylight-raises-6m-from-usv-1kx) I get auto redirected to https://paragraph.xyz/notes
cc @colin lmk if I can provide more details to troubleshoot. Logged in/connected via Rabby on Chrome.
Know this is a lot to ask, but mind sharing a screen recording? That would help us immensely and troubleshooting. And thank you for reporting!
Least I could do π«‘ Tried empty cache and hard reload before this
Thank you! We'll dig in and see if we can find a solution.
Are you logged out or in? Investigating the bug, havenβt heard this before
