Layer3

Layer3 Foundation is the organization behind an omnichain identity and distribution protocol that connects crypto users to new projects by rewarding them for completing on-chain and off-chain tasks. The platform has served over 3 million unique users in 120 countries and supports 25 blockchains across the EVM and Solana ecosystem. Think of it as a staffing agency for crypto attention: protocols post tasks, users complete them, and both sides get what they need.

Uniswap, Base, Arbitrum, Linea, Polygon, Gnosis, and Celo are among the more than 100 crypto teams using Layer3’s distribution infrastructure. These are not small experiments. These are flagship protocols trusting Layer3 to put their products in front of qualified, active users.

The platform’s core product is the Quest. A Quest is a verifiable task, such as bridging tokens to a new chain, using a specific DeFi protocol, or minting an NFT. Users who complete a Quest earn CUBE credentials, Layer3’s on-chain proof of participation. CUBE stands for Credential to Unify Blockchain Events and functions as a cross-chain identity record that follows you across more than 31 supported chains. Your CUBE history becomes your on-chain reputation, which determines what rewards and opportunities you can access.

Layer3 tackles the dual challenges of attention and distribution in the crypto space. Centralized tech giants monopolize attention, while crypto protocols struggle to reach users and deliver token rewards effectively. Layer3 solves both problems at once by creating a marketplace where projects pay for real user engagement and users earn tokens for genuine action.

Layer3 has facilitated over 96 million interactions across 545 ecosystems by users in more than 150 countries. That scale of engagement proves Layer3’s distribution claims credible to investors and protocols alike.

Layer3 was founded in 2021. The company raised $2.5 million that year, followed by a strategic $3.7 million round in 2022. These early rounds funded the platform’s initial build-out and established its first protocol partnerships.

The growth trajectory changed meaningfully in June 2024. Layer3 raised $15 million in a Series A round co-led by ParaFi Capital and Greenfield Capital, with participation from Electric Capital, King River, Immutable, Lattice, Tioga, LeadBlock Bitpanda Ventures, Amber, Stateless, and GD1. Another $4 million came in February 2025, bringing total funding to about $26.8 million across four rounds.

The investor list tells you something important. Greenfield Capital described Layer3 as “poised to revolutionize onchain value distribution,” emphasizing that the platform solves a real acquisition problem for Web3 protocols while giving users a guided entry point into the space. Electric Capital, which also backed Magic Eden and Monad, brings both capital and deep ecosystem connections that help Layer3 expand its protocol partnerships.

The $L3 token is the native cryptocurrency of the Layer3 protocol and launched on July 30, 2024. 51% of the total L3 supply is designated to the community, distributed across multiple airdrops over time to build long-term alignment between users and ecosystems on the platform.

The token has three primary uses. Holders stake L3 to earn passive yield, participate in governance decisions, and unlock access to exclusive quests, tiered rewards, launchpad projects, and partner incentives. The second use is ecosystem gating. Protocols burn or stake L3 to post quests, deploy incentives, and access the CUBE credential network. That burning creates structural demand from protocols on the supply side, not just users. By October 2025, over 23 million L3 had been used to mint CUBEs, removing that supply from circulation.

All protocol revenue generated by Layer3 accrues to the Layer3 Foundation, which uses these resources to support the token and its ecosystem. Token holders benefit from network growth through incentive programs, staking rewards, and governance control over treasury assets and emissions.

The L3 token trades on centralized cryptocurrency exchanges and is accessible for standard purchases. For larger positions, locked tokens, or SAFT notes, Acquire.Fi’s OTC and Secondaries Marketplace is the right venue.

You can buy Layer3 tokens OTC on Acquire.Fi by browsing existing sell listings and engaging directly with one that fits your target price and amount. If no current listing matches what you need, you can submit a new Buy listing with your preferred valuation and token quantity.

You can also sell Layer3 tokens OTC if you hold a position and want to exit. Browse existing Buy listings to find a counterparty, or submit a new Sell listing with your asking price and the amount you want to sell.

Once your listing is in, Acquire.Fi takes it from there. The team runs background checks, issues non-disclosure agreements, and introduces buyer and seller to each other. Both parties handle their own due diligence and payment settlement. Acquire.Fi is not a broker-dealer, but the team stays involved throughout the process to help both sides close the deal.
