Woofun AI reports that blockchain data infrastructure startup Cambrian has closed a $6 million seed round co-led by Franklin Templeton and Polychain Capital. Additional participants include Flow Traders, Selini Capital, Paper Ventures, and Nomad Capital. This injection follows a prior $5.9 million pre-seed investment led by the a16z Crypto Startup Accelerator, bringing the company's total raised capital to $11.9 million.

Founded in 2024, Cambrian provides APIs for institutions and AI agents, delivering real-time and historical on-chain data on yield, risk, lending rates, trading activity, liquidity positions, and market sentiment. The platform currently processes millions of API calls, indexing approximately $4.5 billion in TVL across four major lending protocols. It tracks 1,789 vaults managed by 895 curators and monitors over 320,000 DEX liquidity pools on Base and Solana. Cambrian intends to evolve its API offerings into a verifiable blockchain data oracle network, aggregating data from lending protocols, DEX liquidity, social sentiment, developer activity, and historical markets. Future plans include integrating Hyperliquid and richer perpetual contract data to serve institutional financial clients, AI agent builders, and protocols requiring reliable capital flow controls.
