Satsuma: The "Node Factory" Bought Out by Major Institutions

In this round of Modular heat, there is a low-key project @Satsuma_UK, a "Node as a Service" platform that specializes in modular blockchain infra.

Supports modular architectures such as Celestia, Polygon, ZK Stack, and Arbitrum Orbit. A single SDK can help the chain handle indexer, RPC, data mirroring, and even deploy a complete infra with one click.

♦️ The positioning is very clear:
It's not about building chains or middleware, but rather filling in a bunch of pitfalls that all AppChains encounter when dealing with infra, especially the issue of no one maintaining the RPC during the early stages of development.

♦️ The growth data is not flashy, but it is solid:
1. TVS (Total Value Served) increased by 40x+

2. Clients include Zora, Redstone, Worldcoin, Axiom, etc.

3. In less than a year since its launch, it has run on over a hundred chains.

♦️ More importantly, the "collective betting" on the capital side:
This round of financing raised 5.4M from a16z, Paradigm, Canonical, Robot Ventures, and others—essentially bringing on board all the influential players in the Infra space.

For new public chains like modular AI, ZK, and Data availability, outsourcing infra like Satsuma is a necessity; for AppChain developers, this is the Vercel on the chain.
Low market cap and precise entry points make it easy to understand why it can be bought out.
