Blockchain data infrastructure company Cambrian closes $6 million seed round led by Franklin Templeton and Polychain

In comparison, blockchain data infrastructure startup Cambrian completed a $6 million seed round, co-led by Franklin Templeton and Polychain Capital, with the participation of Flow Traders, Selini Capital, Paper Ventures, and Nomad Capital.

Cambrian also received $5.9 million in pre-seed funding led by a16z Crypto Startup Accelerator, with a cumulative funding amount of $11.9 million.

According to reports, Cambrian was founded in 2024 and currently provides an API for institutions and AI agents, covering real-time and historical on-chain data such as earnings, risk, loan interest rates, trading activity, liquidity positions, and market sentiment to help users allocate capital on the chain. The company plans to expand the existing API into a verifiable blockchain data oracle network to serve institutional finance customers, AI agent builders, and protocols that require reliable data to control the flow of funds. Unlike traditional oracles that mainly provide price data, Cambrian wanted to aggregate lending agreement data, DEX liquidity, social sentiment, developer activity, and historical market data.

According to Cambrian, its platform has processed millions of API calls, currently indexes the four major lending agreements about $4.5 billion in TVL, tracks 1,789 vaults under 895 curators, and monitors over 320,000 DEX liquidity pools on Base and Solana. The company also plans to expand transaction data support to include Hyperliquid and richer perpetual contract data.
