Radar Relay aims to serve as a hub atop the 0x protocol, which is designed to act as a decentralized exchange mechanism for ERC-20 complaint tokens on the ethereum network. An initial coin offering (ICO) tied to 0x raised $24 million earlier this year.
According to Alan Curtis, Radar Relay's CEO, the funding will go toward expanding its existing team.
"We have 15 people now and the funds will be used for platform expansion, talent acquisition, and building out an integrations team," Curtis told CoinDesk.
Radar Relay has currently launched a beta version that runs on the decentralized ethereum network and requires users to get access to it via a Brave or Metamask browser. Record on 0xtracker shows that the most recent daily trading volume was around $60,000 to $70,000.
Curtis said the Radar Relay platform is expected to come out of the beta development stage sometime in the first quarter of 2018.
Disclosure: CoinDesk is a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, which has an ownership stake in Radar Relay.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
