Angels on the tour include Jongchan of Trepa, John Hunter metrix capital, Fez and It shines Wolter, with Sogo And Christian. Many of these angels are connected to original Solana projects such as Daedalus Angels, Meteora, and Trepa, confirming Botanika’s compatibility with the Solana ecosystem.
Botanika relies on three pillars: DePIN to provision hardware, RWA concepts to orchestrate ownership, and AI workloads to drive real usage. Its first product is called NIMBUS, which is positioned as an infrastructure stack where network revenue is supposed to come from actual demand rather than token inflation.
The team framed the project around the risks of concentrating AI infrastructure in a few large companies and said it aims to distribute ownership of that infrastructure through its model. Proceeds from the round are expected to support further development of Botanika’s hardware network, token economics and building out the broader ecosystem on Solana.
