Claw Intelligence closes $3 million seed funding round, with participation from Castrum Istanbul and others

According to official announcements, Web3 intelligence-layer project Claw Intelligence has raised $3 million in seed funding. Investors include Castrum Istanbul, Titans Ventures, Super Labs, and Genesis Capital.
