Decentralized finance protocol Minterest has just secured $6.5 million in funding for a long-term yield optimization platform. The private fundraising round was contributed to by a number of venture capital companies including KR1, DigiStrats, Bitscale Capital, PNYX Ventures, CMT Digital and others. The Estonian-based team intends to use the funding to develop the lending and borrowing protocol which it claims is “designed to make DeFi fairer for users.” Minterest uses a buyback mechanism that captures value and passes all of the revenue generated by the platform to its community.
