Catenaa, Wednesday, February 04, 2026- On-chain token creation and launch protocol Doppler has raised $9 million in a seed funding round led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Variant, Figment Capital, and Coinbase Ventures.
The round marks the next growth phase for the Singapore- and New York-based platform, which aims to become a default infrastructure for tokenized assets across blockchains.
Doppler, developed by Whetstone Research alongside its Pure Markets interface, allows users to launch, distribute, and trade tokens efficiently.
The platform compresses token deployment, vesting, liquidity bootstrapping, governance, and fee routing into a single interface, while its price discovery auctions help limit bot activity and generate protocol-owned liquidity from day one.
Since its launch nine months ago, Doppler has emerged as the primary platform for token creation on Base and has expanded its reach across other blockchains.
More than 40,000 assets are now created daily using Doppler, representing over $1.5 billion in value and more than $1 billion in cumulative trading volume.
Founder Austin Adams said Doppler differentiates itself by focusing on market mechanics and outcomes rather than simply enabling token creation.
The platform integrates with aggregators, explorers, and routers to ensure new assets are widely accessible.
Doppler earns trading fees on assets regardless of where they are traded.
The Whetstone team currently has about 10 employees, primarily engineers and researchers in New York City, and is actively hiring to support continued growth.
Doppler’s domain ecosystem includes Doppler.lol for liquidity-focused tools, Pure.st for high-quality assets, and Whetstone.cc for broader infrastructure offerings.
