Waterfall Network on Thursday announced it has raised $11.6 million in a funding round led by Bolt's Capital, with additional contributions from Alpha Token Capital and Enflux.
The funds will be used to improve the platform's infrastructure, simplify node operations, and enhance its scalability.
The funding comes after Waterfall Network achieved 12,778 transactions per second (TPS), demonstrating its capacity for high-speed blockchain performance, according to a press release shared with Benzinga.
Waterfall Network positions itself as a scalable and decentralized layer-1 blockchain compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
This compatibility facilitates migration for Ethereum-based decentralized applications (DApps), offering developers and users a simplified, user-friendly platform.

Waterfall also recently integrated with Chainspect, a blockchain analytics platform, to provide detailed performance metrics for investors and adopters.
Chainspect data suggests that Waterfall outperforms other notable networks, including Solana and Aptos, in scalability metrics.
Waterfall's validator network continues to grow, with 8,647 active validators reported as of December 2024, positioning it as the third-largest decentralized proof-of-stake (PoS) network globally by validator count.
Sergii Grybniak, CTO of Blue Wave and Head of Research at Waterfall, said, "This investment is a testament to the network's potential to improve scalability and operational efficiency.”
