Nexton Raises $4 Million Led by Danal to Scale Its AI-Powered Restaking and Arbitrage Infrastructure

3 min read

Nexton Solutions, an AI-native restaking and arbitrage execution protocol, has expanded its strategic financing round to $4 million, securing fresh backing from Danal, one of South Korea’s largest regulated payment companies. The latest investment round also drew participation from several major institutions across Web3 and fintech, including Amber Group, Value Systems, Metalabs Ventures, Vista Labs, Outlier Ventures, Kaia Foundation, TON Foundation, STON.fi, PayProtocol, and others.

According to founder Minik Kim, the fundraise signals a broader shift in the industry. “This round shows that AI-powered restaking is moving from narrative to real infrastructure. Danal brings not only capital but real-world financial connectivity for our next phase of growth.”


Building the AI Execution Layer for Restaking and Arbitrage

Nexton Solutions is developing a unified AI-based infrastructure designed to automate and optimize yield generation across multiple blockchains and liquidity venues. The platform is powered by two core modules:

1. Nexton-ai — AI Arbitrage Routing Engine

The engine scans decentralized exchanges such as STON.fi, DeDust, EVAA, along with centralized exchanges including Binance and Hyperliquid, to identify profitable, risk-adjusted trades.
Its goal is to generate real PnL-based yield, not emissions-driven rewards.

2. Nexton-re — Automated Restaking Module

This module enables users to:

  • Stake TON and other assets

  • Mint performance-tracking staking NFTs

  • Execute layered restaking strategies across chains

All of this occurs within a Telegram-native execution environment, requiring no dashboards, browser extensions, or manual interfaces — a major differentiator in onboarding mainstream APAC users.


Strong Traction Across Asia

Nexton has rapidly become one of the fastest-growing AI yield layers within the TON ecosystem, especially across Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia.

Current traction includes:

  • $3M+ TVL

  • 60,000+ monthly active users

  • 75+ ecosystem partners across TON, Kaia, Base, and BNB Chain

  • AI strategies delivering 70–90% APY

  • 40%+ cumulative ROI from real arbitrage PnL

This growth positions Nexton as a leading AI execution engine in TON and a rising force in the broader restaking landscape.


Danal’s Strategic Role

As a regulated payments leader, Danal brings significant real-world value:

  • Fiat on/off-ramps integrated directly into TON-based DeFi

  • FATF-aligned compliance frameworks

  • Distribution channels across major APAC banks, fintechs, and payment networks

“Partnering with Danal connects Nexton directly to real-world financial rails,” said Kim. “It enables a seamless flow from fiat to AI-optimized yield.”


Expansion Plans: More Chains, More Markets, More Users

The new investment will fuel Nexton’s expansion across TON, KAIA, Base, and BNB Chain, as well as strengthen its AI execution capabilities.

Near-term roadmap:

  • Multi-route and cross-venue upgrades for Nexton-ai

  • APAC-focused Telegram-native growth funnels

  • Scaling Restake Asia Season 1

  • Preparing the NXT token private round and ecosystem campaign

Nexton’s broader goal is to surpass 500,000 organic users and establish itself as the default AI execution layer for restaking and arbitrage globally.
