# FUNDING AND ECOSYSTEM VISSION

<mark style="color:purple;">**CORDNODE**</mark> has achieved a major milestone in its journey toward building a truly decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN): **a successful&#x20;**<mark style="color:orange;background-color:yellow;">**$3 million**</mark>**&#x20;seed funding round** led by visionary private investors. This early capital infusion affirms our mission to decentralize access to real-world infrastructure and validates our long-term strategy to align community participation with sustainable growth.

This funding enables us to:

* **Accelerate development** of our core DePIN protocol and tooling infrastructure.
* **Expand the CORDNODE ecosystem** across key partnerships, geographical nodes, and deployment points.
* **Incentivize early adopters** and node operators through transparent, on-chain reward mechanisms.
* **Invest in research and development** focused on scalability, security, and real-world utility.
* **Grow our community** and contributor base through grassroots onboarding and education initiatives.

We are committed to **radically redefining infrastructure ownership** by placing the power in the hands of builders, operators, and users. With this funding milestone, we take a significant leap forward.

As we look ahead, **strategic partnerships, institutional support, and additional funding rounds** will play a pivotal role in scaling the <mark style="color:purple;">**CORDNODE**</mark> network.

<mark style="color:purple;">**CORDNODE**</mark> isn’t just raising capital, we’re **empowering a movement**. Through this capital and the collective effort of our community, we are building infrastructure that doesn’t just connect the digital and physical, it **decentralizes ownership of it.**
