Orochi Network has raised an additional $8 million, bringing its total funding to $20 million, as it continues to build the foundation for Verifiable Data Infrastructure (VDI), a system designed to ensure data authenticity, auditability, and compliance in the fast-evolving blockchain economy.
The funding round attracted support from MEXC Ventures, Plutus VC, Bolts Capital, Ant Labs, and several returning investors, alongside grants from the Ethereum Foundation. The raise underscores the rising institutional demand for verifiable and tamper-proof data infrastructure amid tightening global regulatory frameworks.
As financial institutions and governments worldwide prepare for compliance with the EU’s 2025 Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), which mandates data integrity and immutable audit capabilities, Orochi’s infrastructure is positioning itself as a regulatory enabler. “Verifiable data is no longer optional; it’s foundational,” said Chiro Hiro, Founder of Orochi Network.
Building the Backbone for RWA Tokenization
Orochi’s mission is to create a secure, audit-grade foundation for Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization, a market expected to unlock trillions of dollars in value by bridging traditional finance with blockchain technology.
Using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), Orochi enables institutions to prove data authenticity without exposing sensitive information, a crucial feature for regulatory compliance and privacy preservation. Its flagship product, the zkDatabase, serves as a “Truth Layer” for on-chain and off-chain data, allowing institutions to validate asset information with cryptographic certainty.
The zkDatabase has already processed more than 700 million proofs on mainnet, demonstrating scalability and reliability. Since launch, it has recorded over 10,000 downloads, with 120+ enterprise partners adopting the system. This includes major players across RWA, AI, and enterprise data management, such as Plume, Lumia, Nexus, and OG (AI), all relying on zkDatabase for audit-grade verification and compliance.
Orochi’s approach aligns with Vitalik Buterin’s vision for zero-knowledge systems as the cornerstone of Ethereum’s institutional future, reinforcing the Ethereum Foundation’s ongoing strategic shift toward collaboration with banks, enterprises, and regulators.
Driving Policy and Innovation in Southeast Asia
Beyond technology, Orochi Network has emerged as a policy and innovation leader in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. Acting as a technical advisor to government policymakers, the company supports the design of RWA sandboxes and forward-looking regulatory frameworks for blockchain-based finance.
“Orochi ensures enterprises and governments can innovate with confidence, on infrastructure that’s provable by design,” said founder Chiro Hiro, reflecting the network’s mission to unite technological advancement with regulatory readiness.
The company also plays a central role in regional ecosystem development through Super Vietnam, Asia’s premier blockchain and AI conference, co-backed by the Vietnamese government and leading media organisations. The event attracts key stakeholders from Big 4 banks such as VietinBank, MB, and Vietcombank, and high-level regulators including the Vice Chairman of the Da Nang People’s Council.
Mr. Tran Cong Quynh Lan, Deputy General Director of VietinBank, praised Orochi’s efforts, stating:
“I deeply value Orochi’s contributions. The Super Vietnam Conference is exceptionally well-organized and brings together experts across sectors to share critical insights on blockchain, data, and AI.”
Through the Business Dialogue Conference hosted at Super Vietnam, Orochi has also convened global leaders from Figment, HashKey Capital, GSR, Hedera, BitGo, Binance, and OKX, facilitating collaboration and policy dialogue to advance Da Nang’s blockchain and digital asset strategy.
What’s Next: Scaling Verifiable Infrastructure Globally
Following the funding round, Orochi Network is focused on four key growth pillars:
- Expanding Verifiable Infrastructure to accelerate global RWA adoption across financial and enterprise sectors.
- Scaling zkDatabase and zkDA Layer, enhancing integration across institutional systems.
- Deepening collaboration with Vietnam’s regulatory leaders and sandbox initiatives.
- Establishing Orochi as the backbone for compliant, interoperable, and provably secure systems worldwide.
With a rapidly expanding ecosystem, over 300,000 daily users, 1.5 million monthly active users, and 160 million+ transactions powering more than 40 dApps and blockchains, Orochi is already emerging as one of Asia’s most influential blockchain infrastructure providers.
The company’s proof-agnostic architecture integrates advanced ZK systems such as Halo2, zk-STARK, and Plonky3, enabling cost-effective, privacy-preserving computation. According to Orochi, these innovations reduce Ethereum data costs from roughly $25 to just $0.002 per KB, representing a significant breakthrough in blockchain data efficiency.
Pioneering the Future of Verifiable Data
As institutions, governments, and enterprises seek compliant and secure blockchain solutions, Orochi Network’s Verifiable Data Infrastructure is poised to become the MongoDB of the blockchain era: redefining how data is managed, verified, and audited in real time.
By bridging traditional finance with decentralized technologies, Orochi is enabling a new era of trust, transparency, and interoperability across the digital economy. Its zkDatabase technology doesn’t just store data; it proves it, establishing the cryptographic backbone for the next generation of global finance.
