As decentralised finance continues expanding across blockchains and protocols, active crypto users are increasingly struggling to manage the growing complexity of their on chain activity. Investors today often hold positions across multiple chains, lending platforms, decentralised exchanges, derivatives protocols, NFTs, and prediction markets simultaneously. Monitoring all of these positions in real time has become increasingly difficult, with users constantly switching between dashboards while trying to avoid liquidations, unstable collateral positions, sudden rate spikes, or stablecoin depegs. DeFi intelligence startup Otomato is building infrastructure designed to simplify that experience, and the company has now secured fresh funding to accelerate product development and expansion.
Otomato has raised $2 million from Improbable.
The funding will support expansion of the platform’s product capabilities, multi chain coverage, protocol integrations, and go to market operations.
Solving Information Overload in DeFi
The decentralised finance ecosystem has grown rapidly over recent years, but many users still rely on fragmented tools and manual monitoring to track their positions.
Traditional alert systems often generate excessive notifications while lacking meaningful context about what actually matters to individual users.
Otomato aims to solve this by creating a personalised intelligence layer for DeFi participants.
Users simply connect their wallet addresses, after which the platform automatically detects and monitors their positions across lending protocols, token holdings, NFTs, prediction markets, and other on chain assets.
The system currently operates across blockchains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and HyperEVM.
According to the company, Otomato continuously monitors positions in real time and surfaces only the most relevant alerts rather than overwhelming users with generic notifications.
Growing Organically Through Product Adoption
Otomato initially launched as a Telegram bot and has grown entirely through organic user adoption without paid marketing campaigns.
The company says it has already attracted more than 2,000 users, with over 1,500 actively receiving alerts through the platform.
The product currently integrates with more than 10 major DeFi protocols including Aave, Pendle, Uniswap, Morpho, Euler, and Hyperliquid.
As decentralised finance ecosystems continue expanding across multiple blockchains and asset classes, tools capable of simplifying portfolio monitoring and risk management are becoming increasingly important for both retail and professional users.
Building the Intelligence Layer for DeFi
Herman Narula said decentralised finance is increasingly evolving into the infrastructure layer supporting a broader AI powered economy.
According to Narula, companies capable of building intelligence systems that understand users’ on chain positions and surface meaningful information have the potential to define an entirely new category within the DeFi ecosystem.
He added that Otomato’s product gives users greater control and visibility over their positions while reducing the operational complexity involved in managing decentralised assets.
Narula also highlighted the speed of execution demonstrated by Otomato’s founding team, noting that the company achieved strong viral growth and product engagement without relying on paid customer acquisition.
Expanding Beyond Alerts
Clement Hecquet said the company selected Improbable as an investor because of its operational involvement and hands on support around product strategy, scaling, and go to market execution.
According to Hecquet, the partnership is intended to help Otomato scale from its early user base toward significantly broader adoption.
The newly secured funding will help the company continue developing its platform while expanding multi chain and multi vertical coverage across the broader decentralised finance ecosystem.
As DeFi grows increasingly complex and interconnected, intelligence platforms capable of monitoring on chain activity in real time and translating blockchain data into actionable insights are becoming an increasingly important part of the future crypto infrastructure stack.
