“Bitmain has demonstrated its commitment to expanding strong, DApp blockchain companies such as Lambda. This investment from a global industry leader is a significant endorsement and recognition of Lambda’s longstanding dedication in creating a world-class blockchain-based storage solution.”
“Storage is an interesting development area in blockchain infrastructure and Lambda’s technology vision, pragmatic roadmap, and progress to-date have been key factors for us,” said a spokesperson at Bitmain. “We look forward to working with Lambda.”
