On December 1st, DFINITY's first private email based on blockchainDmailAnnounced the completion of the seed round of financing at a valuation of US$10 million. Hashkey Capital, Draper Dragon, Outliers Fund, Parallel Ventures, FBG Capital, PAKA, Spark Digital Capital, etc. participated in the investment. Other angel investors include Distrikt's early explorer Nick Myers, DFINITY Founding members of the community are Dukakis Tejada, Daniel James, Sunny Gar, and more.
As a mailbox based on the IC public chain (DFINITY), Dmail is positioned as a Web3 development infrastructure tool.It is understood that the new financing will be used to expand the team, marketing, and develop new features for the mailbox.
Visible on the official website,Dmail hopes to become Gmail in the Web3 era, supporting users to communicate, store data, and transfer tokens (including NFT) safely and privately on DFINITY. In addition to personal and corporate mailboxes and encrypted wallet functions, Dmail will also provide convenient and cheap DFINITY chain storage, NFT auctions, airdrops, new tokens (Dmail calls it Initial Mail Offering) and other services in the future。
In the traditional Internet field, with the rise of IM and social software, the mailbox system seems to have been left behind. But even so, when I register for each Web2 application service, I still have to fill in my email, receive and backfill the verification code. Therefore, the mailbox still retains the basic "online identity" function (though not the only one).
In the blockchain world, the identities of individuals and businesses are transferred to addresses (public keys) and decentralized domain names, providing proof of ownership for higher-level applications (such as wallets). This time, the appearance of Dmail on the DFINITY ecosystem can not help but make people imagine that it may evolve into a series of on-chain services based on decentralized identities: for individuals, Dmail can be a wallet integrated with the Dapp Store, and for groups such as project parties , Dmail can be the DFINITY version of ENS (Ethereum Domain Name Service).
