Nexton Secures $4M Strategic Investment Led by Danal to Scale Its AI-Powered Restaking Infrastructure

Nexton, the AI-native restaking and arbitrage execution protocol, has expanded its strategic round to $4 million, anchored by a new investment from Danal, one of Korea’s largest regulated payment companies. The round includes participation from Amber Group, Value Systems, Metalabs Ventures, Vista Labs, Outlier Ventures, Kaia Foundation, TON Foundation, STON.fi, PayProtocol, and other institutional partners across Web3 and fintech. This additional capital strengthens Nexton’s multi-chain roadmap and supports the rollout of its core execution products: Nexton.ai, the AI arbitrage routing engine, and Nexton.re, the automated restaking module.

“This round proves that AI-powered restaking is shifting from narrative to infrastructure,” said Minik Kim, Founder of Nexton. “Danal’s investment brings not only capital but real-world financial connectivity for our next phase of growth.”

About Nexton: The AI Execution Layer for Restaking and Arbitrage

Nexton is building a unified execution layer that automates yield generation across chains and liquidity venues. Instead of manually navigating dashboards, users deposit once and let AI route liquidity for them.

Nexton.ai is an AI arbitrage and routing engine that scans liquidity across DEXs such as STON.fi, DeDust, and EVAA and CEXs including Binance and Hyperliquid to automatically execute profitable, risk-adjusted routes.

Nexton.re is an automated restaking module where users stake TON and other supported assets to mint staking NFTs that track performance and enable multi-layer restaking across strategies.

All interactions, including staking, restaking, and withdrawing, operate directly inside a Telegram bot. No browser extensions and no complex dashboards are required, allowing users to focus solely on execution. This model delivers real revenue-driven yields powered by arbitrage PnL rather than emissions, aligning with the next generation of sustainable DeFi.

Traction: Fastest-Growing AI Yield Layer in the TON Ecosystem

Nexton has quietly become one of the highest-performing and most active restaking platforms in Asia. The platform has surpassed $3,000,000 in TVL through organic user flow and has attracted more than 60,000 monthly active users. It now counts over 75 ecosystem partners across TON, Kaia, Base, and BNB Chain. Certain AI-driven strategies have sustained APYs in the 70 to 90 percent range, and the protocol has generated cumulative ROI above 40 percent from real PnL rather than token inflation. Nexton has established a strong presence across Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia, positioning itself as the leading AI execution engine within the TON ecosystem and a rising player in the broader restaking landscape.

Danal’s Strategic Role
Danal, a regulated fintech company powering payments infrastructure across Korea, provides fiat on/off-ramp rails that connect traditional finance to TON-based DeFi, along with compliance and risk frameworks aligned with FATF standards and distribution networks designed to scale across APAC banking and payments audiences.

“Partnering with Danal connects Nexton directly to real-world financial rails,” said Kim. “It expands our vision of moving users from fiat to AI-optimized yield in one seamless flow.”

Next Steps: Scaling to New Chains, New Markets, and More Users
With fresh capital and growing institutional support, Nexton is accelerating expansion across TON, KAIA, Base, and BNB Chain. Upgrades to Nexton.ai will introduce multi-route arbitrage and cross-venue execution capabilities, while user acquisition initiatives will leverage Telegram-native funnels. Liquidity programs such as Restake Asia Season 1 are scaling, and preparation for the NXT token private round and ecosystem campaign is underway. The company’s goal is to reach more than 500,000 organic users, deepen integrations within the TON and Base ecosystems, and establish itself as the default AI execution layer for restaking and arbitrage.

About the NXT Token
The NXT token has a total supply of 500,000,000 NXT and targets a $3 million private sale at a $25 million FDV. Its utility includes 20 to 30 percent protocol revenue sharing, access to advanced AI modules, governance rights, and collateral usage for NFTs and synthetic vaults. CEX and EVM expansion is planned through 2026.

For Investors
Nexton is selectively opening remaining allocations to strategic investors who can contribute liquidity, distribution, compliance support, and CEX and DeFi partnerships.
