BlockBeats News, February 23rd, Based, a Web3 transaction and payment app built on the Hyperliquid infrastructure, has completed a $11.5 million Series A funding round led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Wintermute Ventures, and Karatage.

Based Co-founder and CEO Edison Lim stated that the funding round was initiated in the fourth quarter of 2025 and was completed last week, using a combination of equity and token-based warrants, with the valuation undisclosed. Pantera secured a board observer seat.

This marks a new round of funding for Based following its announcement of completing two rounds of funding totaling $2.7 million in 2022 when the team operated under the Suberra brand, focusing on crypto payments.

Based is built on Hyperliquid's blockchain and transaction infrastructure, positioning itself as a consumer-facing Web3 "super app" that integrates transactions, wallet functionality, fiat on/off ramps, and a crypto Visa card within a single interface. The platform combines perpetual contract trading, prediction markets, and crypto payments in one.

1. Pantera Capital has made the largest investment in the fund's history in Telegram's TON blockchain project. 2. TON is a Layer 1 network designed by Telegram and continued to be developed by the open source community, aiming to create a decentralized network that supports a variety of applications. 3. As a platform with 930 million active users, Telegram's first principle is "freedom" and it does not sell user data. It is a neutral social platform. 4. The scalability and smart contract functions of the TON network make it possible for some breakthrough features that cannot be achieved in the Web2 environment, such as the Telegram wallet supports custody and self-custody options, which simplifies the use of encrypted applications. 5. The TON Foundation announced an incentive plan to incentivize successful TON applications to create more new and exciting applets and attract more users to join.
