INIT Capital recently closed a successful seed round, amassing over $3 million in funding. Notable investors, including Electric Capital and Mirana Ventures, have shown robust confidence in INIT Capital’s innovative approach. This influx of capital will fuel the development of Liquidity Hooks and drive further innovation in the money market sector, aligning with the evolving demands of DeFi ecosystems.
Founder and Core Contributor at INIT Capital, Tascha Punyaneramitdee, shares insight into the upcoming launch of “Phase 2: Liquidity Hooks” slated for February 28th. Punyaneramitdee highlights the pivotal role Liquidity Hooks play in bootstrapping liquidity, thereby unlocking sustainable growth opportunities for DeFi startups.

Challenges in the DeFi Space
Despite the rapid growth of the DeFi industry, the existing money market architecture fails to adequately cater to user borrowing needs. This lack of evolution results in a composability gap within the space, hindering the growth potential of DeFi protocols. DeFi startups often struggle to source liquidity, relying heavily on user incentives, which proves unsustainable in the long run.
INIT Capital aims to address these liquidity access challenges by introducing Liquidity Hooks, serving as composable plugins for liquidity. These Hooks enable DApps to seamlessly integrate with INIT Capital’s liquidity, empowering startups to focus on developing yield and trading strategies for end-users. Punyaneramitdee explains:
“Liquidity Hooks are designed to bring greater levels of composability, addressing the information asymmetry in the space and reducing the barriers to entry for DeFi startups.”

With a vision to establish itself as a multi-chain Liquidity Hook money market, INIT Capital launches on the Mantle Network, signaling promising opportunities for expansion and development within the DeFi ecosystem. Igneus Terrenus, Public Liaison of Mantle, lauds INIT’s contributions, recognizing its role in facilitating sustainable growth and bolstering Mantle’s position as a yield powerhouse.
Supported by prominent investors like Electric Capital and Mirana Ventures, INIT Capital is poised to democratize liquidity access for DeFi startups. Ken Deeter, General Partner at Electric Capital, expresses excitement about INIT Capital’s potential, underscoring its pivotal role in addressing the unique needs of the burgeoning DeFi ecosystem.
