Parlay Labs is proud to announce it has begun a $2 million funding round led by DNA.fund as it debuts Parlay, a multichain, no-code, meme coin launchpad and trading platform. Individual investors included in this round are Jon Najarian, co-founder of Market Rebellion and TV personality of FOX Business and CNBC, and Rick Schlesinger, co-founder of EOS New York, among others.
Parlay is the first platform of its kind on Ethereum and the first to integrate multi-chain launching and trading of tokens on Ethereum, Base, Optimism, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Polygon, BSC, and Blast. More networks and product enhancements are scheduled to be added soon.
We are excited to bring DNA.fund onboard as a highly regarded and trusted partner,” said Alex Mascioli, Parlay Labs Co-Founder. “Brock and Scott are legends in the crypto space and their expertise and friendship are valued by myself and the Parlay team. With their support, we add additional expertise and advisory to take Parlay Labs to the next level.”
Parlay Labs, which is hot-launching the Parlay platform globally this week, is on a mission to expand the total addressable crypto market through user-friendly tools. One important focus by the team is fairer, safer launches which is why the platform has begun rolling out its ‘safe-mode’ features, such as dev-lockups and anti-whale mechanisms. Other main features include token troll boxes with real-time chat, enhanced discovery with dual sorting, added token and trading metrics, along with Parlay points and jackpots.
Parlay Lab’s innovations are driven by its commitment to accessibility. By taking a no-code approach, the launchpad democratizes token creation and trading, allowing users to safely launch tokens on a chain of their choosing in as little as 60 seconds with easy-to-use tools.
Parlay further includes a points system and the progressive Parlay jackpot to reward users throughout the entire product lifecycle. Overall, the protocol offers comprehensive token discovery and trading capabilities, creating a full-service platform for token creators and traders. It is fully EVM-compatible.
