APY.Finance, a yet-to-launch decentralized finance (DeFi) yield farming aggregator, announced Monday it has completed a $3.6M seed funding round joined by investors including Arrington XRP Capital, Alameda Research, Cluster Capital and CoinGecko.

  • The seed investment will be used for developing the platform, performing audits and risk insurance.
