Scalable blockchain database BigchainDB has raised €3m in a Series A investment.
The round comes from Earlybird Venture Capital, Anthemis Group, Digital Currency Group and innogy SE.
The Berlin-based company aims to serve enterprises with a blockchain database it claims can handle hundreds of thousands of transactions a second.
This allows developers to deploy blockchain proof-of-concepts, platform and apps such as real-time payments, machine-to-machine commerce and connections with other blockchain platforms.
BigchainDB says it its currently supporting proof-of-concepts for enterprises in financial service, supply chains, energy, IoT and IP.
Earlybird board member Ciaran O’Leary said, “BigchainDB is building an essential component for a decentralized storage that everyone will need to enable the multitude of use cases that are being tested.”
The company previously raised $2m in a seed round from Earlybird and Anthemis in 2015.
