The documents show Zora Labs recently completed the funding round with five investors participating. Their identities were not immediately known and it was unclear at press time whether the raise includes October’s $2 million seed round.

Co-creator Jacob Horne, a Coinbase expat, did not return calls. Previous seed investors including streetwear designer Jeff Staple and Coinbase Ventures did not immediately return requests for comment.

Regardless of size, the raise demonstrates the accelerating flood of venture capital into the booming NFT ecosystem.
