History

ODAILY was founded In 2018 by Mengdie Wang. In 2018, Mengdie Wang discovered that there was a surge of blockchain media outlets in China. However, many of these media sources did not bring about open and symmetrical information but rather intensified chaos. Some "media" treated blockchain as a means of monetization, chasing price surges and profiting from market downturns, rather than objectively and professionally reporting on the industry.^[3]

Mengdie Wang believes that the healthy development of every industry requires the power of the media. While the boundaries of media operations may expand, the core essence remains unchanged. Odaily's short-term goal is to become the "36Kr of the blockchain industry," assisting in the development of technology under regulation, uncovering the truth, presenting a comprehensive view, and delivering commercial value.^[3]

In May 2018, Odaily completed a 30 million RMB angel round of financing. The round was led by Huixiang Fund, with participation from SevenX Capital, Eight Dimension Capital, Chuangda Capital, and Xinghe Capital. The funds raised in this round will primarily be used for team expansion and business development.^[2]

In September 2019, Odaily entered into a strategic partnership with BitUniverse, a comprehensive asset management platform. The two parties will collaborate extensively in areas such as cryptocurrency market data, blockchain community information, in-depth articles, analysis reports, community operations, and media coverage.^[8]
