Astra Fintech, a recognized leader in blockchain infrastructure and fintech innovation, has launched a $100 million fund dedicated to accelerating the growth of the Solana ecosystem. The fund aims to identify and empower top-tier startups, builders, and trailblazing projects within the Solana network, reinforcing Astra’s deep commitment to advancing decentralized finance. This strategic initiative follows Astra’s impactful involvement in Seoulana-Superteam Korea’s flagship Solana event—where the company backed standout projects like Mulex, DEPE, and MoNE.
Having played a vital role in shaping Solana’s innovation landscape, Astra Fintech has now transitioned from an ecosystem sponsor to a long-term strategic investor. Highlighted initiatives include Mulex, a cross-chain infrastructure to boost subchain scalability; DEPE, a smart liquidity router for abstract pools; and MoNE, a no-code AI Agent Builder for seamless on-chain agent deployment on Solana.

In addition to ecosystem funding, Astra has strengthened its PayFi strategy through the integration of Banana Pay, a blockchain-powered payment solution that bridges traditional and decentralized finance. Anchoring its global growth in Asia, Astra has designated Korea as its regional launchpad. The company plans to deploy significant capital from the fund to support Solana-based ventures, forge local partnerships, and scale its PayFi solutions across the region.
“Our $100M fund is a testament to Astra’s belief in Solana’s potential to redefine global fintech,” said Jamie, Head of Partnership. “Korea’s vibrant blockchain ecosystem is the perfect launchpad for our Asia expansion, and we’re excited to back the next wave of innovators building on Solana.”
