PANews reported on April 8 that according to CoinDesk, the crypto payment center Lyzi completed a seed round of financing of 1.3 million euros (about 1.4 million US dollars). Participants in this round of financing included angel investors, Dfns founder Christopher Grilhault des Fontaines and Astek founder Jean-Luc Bernard.

According to reports, Lyzi is built on the Tezos Layer1 blockchain, allowing consumers to use cryptocurrencies for daily payments in retail and e-commerce environments. Merchants receive payments in cryptocurrencies and deposit fiat currency directly into their bank accounts. The next step for Lyzi is to launch on Tezos' Layer2 block Etherlink, which is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
