## About

Corn is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform built on the Ethereum blockchain. The company was founded by Chris Spadafora. In August 2024, Corn raised USD 6.7 million in seed funding led by Polychain Capital, ABCDE Capital, Binance Labs, Framework Ventures, HTX Ventures, and OKX Ventures.

The products and services offered by the company include BTCN, a hybrid tokenized Bitcoin that can be used as gas on the Corn network; $CORN, a token of the Corn platform, which is used for governance and rewards; and Kernels, which are points earned by users who participate in the early access phase, which will be used to determine the allocation of $CORN airdrops.

The company plans to use the funds raised in August 2024 to further develop its blockchain platform.
