Credits and Disclaimers
Data Source: The data presented in this report is sourced from DefiLlama's funding rounds database. We acknowledge and appreciate their work in providing valuable insights into the web3 funding landscape. Issues up to and including March 2026 were compiled from Token Terminal and Crunchbase; the whole series has since been restated on a single source so that figures are comparable across months.
Methodology: The rounds included are those DefiLlama records as web3 fundraising, categorised by its own sector taxonomy. Each round is counted once, in the month it was announced. Where a round names several investors, each is counted once per round for the purposes of the investor ranking, and a round may appear under only one sector.
A note on valuation: earlier issues reported a median round valuation. Fewer than one round in ten discloses a valuation, so that median rested on a handful of observations each month and moved on sampling noise rather than on the market. It has been withdrawn rather than reported with a precision the data cannot carry. Median round size, which is disclosed for almost every round, is reported in its place.
Accuracy Disclaimer: While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information presented in this report, FinDaS does not guarantee the completeness, accuracy, or reliability of the data.

Potential Bias Notice: It is important to note that the data provided in this report may exhibit biases, primarily towards fundraising activities supported by large investors and deals in the United States. Since the majority of pure token sales are largely unregistered, this report is likely to underrepresent them. This bias is inherent to the data source and may not fully represent the global web3 funding landscape. Users are encouraged to consider this limitation when interpreting the findings.
