This Acquisition will enhance the governance features for all existing and forthcoming web3 communication platforms built on the River Protocol.
River , the first-of-its-kind protocol for securing communication for end users, today announced its acquisition of Llama , a protocol designed for decentralized governance. Llama's technology will be integrated into River to further enhance its offerings for users. Earlier this month, Towns , an end-to-end encrypted on-chain communications platform, launched on River, cementing it as River's largest project to date with 125 thousand unique users onboarded and 81 thousand Towns created. The acquisition will benefit all existing and forthcoming platforms built on the protocol, including more robust governance tools for DAOs and expanding their use cases.
The protocol is focused on expanding its technical capabilities and shaping the future of web3 communications. The integration will enhance River's token governance capabilities and provide built-in governance contracts for users creating spaces within the platform. Additionally, Towns will benefit from a new tech stack, allowing users to build customizable governance systems.
Llama's governance system is powered by open-source smart contracts, providing flexibility and customization for users. It allows DAOs to define specific roles and permissions for executing on-chain transactions, or“actions,” such as protocol upgrades, fund transfers, parameter adjustments, and emergency pauses. By allowing users to determine who can propose, approve, or execute these actions, Llama incorporates robust checks and balances through advanced permissioning strategies. This granular control is important for securely managing complex operations and adapting to changing requirements.
In 2023, Llama raised a $6 million seed round led by Founders Fund and Electric Capital and notable investors including Elad Gil, Sandeep Nailwal (Polygon), and Stani Kulechov (Aave).
About River
River is the first-of-its-kind protocol for securing communication for end users. It unlocks the same experience you would expect from web2 communication platforms, while providing the security of web3. The River Protocol is an EVM-compatible L2 chain, leveraging decentralized off-chain stream nodes and smart contracts that are deployed on Base, to build programmable communication tools in a permissionless manner. River's utility token, RVR , is delegated to Node Operators to help secure the platform. Launched in May 2024, River's clients include Towns , the a16z-backed on-chain communications platform that launched in October 2024.
