Nexton Solutions Secures $4M Strategic Funding for AI-Powered Restaking Protocol

3 hour ago

Nexton Solutions, an AI-native restaking and arbitrage protocol, has raised $4 million in a strategic funding round led by Danal, a major South Korean regulated payment company. The investment round also saw participation from Amber Group, Value Systems, Metalabs Ventures, Vista Labs, Outlier Ventures, Kaia Foundation, TON Foundation, STON.fi, PayProtocol, and other institutional partners across Web3 and fintech.

Founder Minik Kim emphasized the significance, stating, "This round shows that AI-powered restaking is moving from narrative to real infrastructure." He highlighted that Danal brings not only capital but also real-world financial connectivity, including regulated fiat on/off-ramps linked to TON-based DeFi, FATF-aligned compliance, and distribution channels across APAC fintech and banking sectors.

The funding will accelerate development of Nexton's automated yield generation layer, which comprises two core components: Nexton-ai, an AI arbitrage routing engine that scans liquidity across DEXs (like STON.fi and DeDust) and CEXs (including Binance and Hyperliquid) to execute profitable routes, and Nexton-re, an automated restaking module for assets like TON, enabling multi-layer strategies via staking NFTs. All operations are accessible through a Telegram-native interface, eliminating the need for dashboards or manual navigation.

Nexton has demonstrated strong traction, with over $3 million in TVL, 60,000+ monthly active users, and 75+ ecosystem partners across TON, Kaia, Base, and BNB Chain. Its AI strategies have sustained 70–90% APY and generated a 40%+ cumulative ROI from real arbitrage profit and loss. The platform is recognized as a leading AI execution engine in the TON ecosystem and is expanding rapidly in Asia.

With the new capital, Nexton plans to enhance multi-route and cross-venue upgrades, scale Telegram-native growth funnels in APAC, launch Restake Asia Season 1, and prepare for a private round of its NXT token. The goal is to surpass 500,000 organic users and become the default AI execution layer for restaking and arbitrage globally.
