[DigitalToday reporter Chi-gyu Hwang (황치규)] Vangrid, a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) focused on collecting spatial data, has raised $9 million in a seed funding round.
A recent report from The Block stated that HashKey, Borderless, Crypto.com Capital, Animoca Brands, Gate Labs, and MapleBlock Capital joined the round as “key stakeholders.”
The Block said the round brought together investors providing capital only with strategic partners who also provided infrastructure, technology and exchange relationships.
Vangrid began fundraising in August 2025 and closed the round in several stages in January 2026. It delayed the announcement until the network was up and running.
The seed round was structured as a Simple Agreement for Future Tokens (SAFT).
