AI Startup Donut Nabs $7M Pre-Seed to Build Crypto’s First ‘Agentic Browser’
Another day, another blockchain startup convincing VCs to throw millions at buzzwords. This time it’s Donut—promising to ‘reinvent web3 navigation’ with AI agents that’ll supposedly do your crypto dirty work while you sip margaritas.
The pre-seed haul suggests either: (a) investors missed the last three AI hype cycles, or (b) someone actually believes autonomous crypto browsing won’t end in wallet-draining disasters. Place your bets.
If Donut delivers, their agentic approach could slice through DeFi’s labyrinthine interfaces like a hot knife through institutional-grade butter. More likely? We’ll get another ‘AI-powered’ tab manager that occasionally swaps your NFTs for JPEGs of cartoon donuts.
