## About

Based in Delaware, US, and founded in 2023 by Brandon Comer, and Rahul Patel, Intensity Labs operates as the developer of a decentralized platform for cryptocurrency trading. In May 2024, Intensity Labs raised USD 6.9 million in seed funding co-led by investors Polychain Capital and dao5, with participation from other investors Arrington Capital, Maelstrom, and Build-A-Bear.

The firm offers a DeFi protocol called Shogun that enhances user interactions in decentralized finance with purpose-driven features. Shogun's liquidity routing protocol optimizes exchange rates by combining intent-centric fulfillment with on-chain routing. The platform also provides a unified interface for trading across various blockchains, similar to Plaid in fintech, enabling easy DeFi integration for non-crypto companies.

The company intends to use the May 2024 funding to support its growth and manpower expansion.
