Cere Network said it secured an additional $1.5 million to roll out the first decentralized data cloud platform built on Polkadot.

Cere secured $3.5 million in its first fundraising round in August 2019. The first round investors included Binance Labs, Arrington XRP Capital and Neo Global Capital while in the latest round, Arrington, QCP Capital, Kinetic Capital, Monday Capital and AU21 Capital supported Cere.

After the mainnet, the company plans to launch the Cere Open Data Marketplace will launch somewhere around the second quarter, which will allow developers and data scientists
