💫 About Artela

Artela is a blockchain network allowing developers to utilize WasmVM to build native extensions to coprocess with EVM for more customized functionalities. Beyond just dual-VM, these native extensions enable customization at the block level. It enables custom logic to be added throughout the transaction lifecycle with broader runtime context access.

While Uni v4 hooks are application-specific, Artela supports native-level hook design that is cheaper, computationally more powerful, provides runtime context access, and supports the major programming languages, allowing the flourishing of hooks that can be created by anyone and attached to any application.

Artela has raised over $6M in seed round funding led by Shima Capital, with participation from A&T Capital, Big Brain Holdings, SevenX Ventures, Dispersion Capital, Amino Capital, and others.
