What izumi Finance does

iZUMi Finance is a Tokyo-headquartered, multi-chain decentralized finance protocol founded in 2020 that operates as a Liquidity as a Service (LaaS) platform built on top of Uniswap V3 architecture. It serves two distinct customer segments: crypto-native retail users seeking token swaps, liquidity provision, and yield farming, and corporate-treasury / institutional clients seeking 100% principal-protected deployment of digital assets into on-chain liquidity programs. The platform's pricing and revenue model combine transaction fees on swaps across all supported chains with managed-services fees for institutional liquidity infrastructure; pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed.

The protocol's product suite spans a multi-chain decentralized exchange (iZUMi Exchange) with Swap, Limit Order, Pools, Farm, LiquidityPump (concentrated-liquidity provision), Portal, Bridge, and Analytics surfaces, plus the LiquidBox liquidity-management platform launched alongside the Series A. Governance is driven by the native iZi token wrapped via veiZi for staking and voting, supplemented by Points and Airdrop incentive programs. Technically, the protocol runs across 16+ blockchain networks — Ethereum, Arbitrum, Linea, Base, zkSync Era, BNB Chain, Scroll, Mantle, Monad, Taiko, and several emerging chains — leveraging concentrated-liquidity primitives inherited from Uniswap V3. Core patents covering multi-chain liquidity technologies and liquidity management mechanisms are filed and form part of the firm's identifiable IP.

Go-to-market is product-led growth via self-serve wallet connection at izumi.finance, with no traditional sales channel or paid acquisition disclosed. The firm has raised approximately $27.6M in disclosed equity across a November 2021 seed (Mirana-led), December 2021 Series A of $3.5M (cumulative $5.6M), and an April 2023 round of approximately $22M. In December 2025 iZUMi partnered with Nasdaq-listed Massimo Group (MAMO) on a BTC treasury deployment, and in March 2026 Nasdaq-listed CIMG Inc. executed a binding agreement to acquire selected iZUMi assets, patents, and IP, alongside a prior MOU and a jointly managed $20M Upstarts Fund — collectively signaling a transition of iZUMi's core technology into a US-listed institutional digital-asset vehicle.
