Spotlight on Key Portfolio Projects

Sei Network

Sei Network is engineered as the fastest Layer 1 blockchain optimized specifically for trading. With built-in orderbook primitives and parallelized transaction processing, Sei delivers unmatched speed and efficiency for decentralized exchanges and trading platforms.

Arbitrum

As one of the leading Layer 2 scaling solutions for Ethereum, Arbitrum leverages optimistic rollups to enable faster and cheaper transactions. Fully EVM-compatible, it supports a vast ecosystem of dApps and NFTs while maintaining Ethereum’s security guarantees.

ssv.network

Security and decentralization are paramount in Ethereum staking. ssv.network provides a robust infrastructure for distributed validator technology, enabling secure, non-custodial, and highly available staking setups — crucial for the long-term health of Ethereum’s proof-of-stake consensus.

LayerZero

Interoperability is no longer optional — it's essential. LayerZero offers a trustless cross-chain communication protocol that allows user applications to configure on-chain endpoints and transfer data or assets seamlessly between blockchains via its Ultra Light Node (ULN) architecture.

Scroll & zkSync

Both Scroll and zkSync represent cutting-edge advancements in zkEVM technology. Scroll delivers a native zkEVM Layer 2 solution for Ethereum, ensuring compatibility and scalability. zkSync goes further with off-chain data availability, slashing transaction fees to just 1–3 cents while maintaining full EVM equivalence through ZK Rollup innovation.

Gods Unchained

Blending gaming with true digital ownership, Gods Unchained is a free-to-play tactical card game where players own their in-game assets as NFTs. This model empowers gamers with real economic control — a cornerstone principle of Web3 gaming.

Aurora & WAX

Aurora brings full Ethereum compatibility to the NEAR Protocol, offering high throughput, low fees, and future-safe scalability. Meanwhile, WAX has established itself as the #1 Metaverse blockchain for gaming and NFTs, consistently outperforming others in daily transaction volume.

Clover Finance & Connext

Clover Finance is a Substrate-based, EVM-compatible platform focused on multi-chain DeFi interoperability. Paired with Connext — the leading protocol for trustless cross-chain transfers and contract calls — these projects are breaking down silos between blockchains and enabling fluid capital movement.

Outland

At the intersection of art and technology, Outland commissions NFT projects and fosters dialogue around digital culture, emerging tech, and contemporary artistic expression. It plays a vital role in legitimizing NFTs beyond speculation — positioning them as cultural artifacts.

StarkWare

Pioneers in zero-knowledge cryptography, StarkWare develops scalable solutions using STARK proofs. By compressing large datasets into succinct verifiable proofs, they tackle Ethereum’s scalability bottleneck head-on, enabling efficient Layer 2 systems like StarkNet.

Gitcoin

Gitcoin powers public goods funding in Web3 through quadratic funding mechanisms. With over 300,000 builders and funders engaged, it has become the go-to platform for open-source development and community-driven innovation on Ethereum.

Berachain

Berachain introduces a novel Proof of Liquidity consensus mechanism within the Cosmos SDK ecosystem. As an EVM-compatible Layer 1, it rewards users and protocols for staking ambient assets, creating deep liquidity pools that fuel DeFi growth organically.
