DWF Labs, the new generation Web3 investor and market maker, has led a $40 million funding round for tomii, a decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO) that is pioneering an alternative internet network.
Tomi is committed to creating a censorship-resistant online space, governed entirely by its community-led DAO. Unlike the traditional internet — often subject to government and corporate surveillance — tomi’s network is designed to uphold freedom of speech and provide access to uncensored information.
The tomiDAO plays a central role in managing the network, with token holders voting on key decisions, including code modifications and content moderation based on community guidelines. This decentralised governance model ensures a transparent and democratic approach to internet infrastructure.
Supporting Content Creators in a Privacy-Focused Ecosystem
The newly secured funding will be used to attract content creators to the platform, reinforcing tomi’s commitment to privacy, fair monetisation, and high-quality content.
Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner at DWF Labs, highlighted the significance of the investment:
'With its DAO-governed alternative network, tomi is paving the way for a censorship-free environment where users can access premium content without sacrificing their privacy. We believe the team's dedication to fair monetisation and privacy-led technologies will make tomi a leading destination for both content creators and internet users.'
Our participation as the leader of this funding round follows our investments of the native tokens of blockchain infrastructure provider Orbs Network and derivatives protocol Synthetix.
