OneBalance was founded by core contributors to Flashbots, the Ethereum-centric research and development startup that aims to remove the negative impacts of maximal extractable value (MEV), and a former Coinbase (COIN) engineer.

The OneBalance Toolkit offers developers one-click access to transfers, swaps, and yield across chains, and already supports native Bitcoin-to-EVM swaps, with Solana integration coming soon, the company said.

"There is so much growth in the stablecoin world and that is bringing a lot of people onchain but they are not crypto native, and their expectation is to do one click operations," said Stephane Gosselin, CEO and co-founder of OneBalance, in an interview.

"Until now there hasn't been a way to build products that enable that," he added.

Early OneBalance partners include DSX, Vooi, Spritz, and Nuvolari.

The latest fundraising follows a $5M angel round in 2024 that included participation from Consensys, Wintermute, Anagram, Cobie, and others.
