Investment Thesis
Blockchain solves the ‘cost-of-trust’ problem
Blockchain provides a new way to transfer and store value, powered by code instead of intermediaries. Blockchain eliminates the cost of trust.
The pillars of our thesis
Blockchain solves the cost-of-trust problem
Activity stops where establishing trust becomes too expensive. Blockchain solves this by collapsing the marginal cost of trust to close to zero. It does this by embedding trust in the infrastructure itself. That is what allows us to send stablecoins to anyone in the world for a fraction of a cent and to instantly spin up markets for assets that were previously uneconomic to trade.
The AI-era requires blockchain based infrastructure
As AI becomes a dominant economic force, it requires a financial and operational foundation that matches its nature. Legacy systems, defined by banking hours, geographic borders, and human-in-the-loop approvals, cannot keep pace with the speed of machine intelligence. Blockchain is the native operating system for agentic activity, providing the 24/7 programmable rails that allow AI agents to hold assets, settle payments, and access compute resources independently.
A specialized, investor universe
Backing decentralized protocols is a fundamentally different game than investing in centralized companies. The “moats,” the incentives, and the cap tables don’t follow the old rules. Today, 95% of the critical infrastructure layer is being built by a new cohort of deeply specialized crypto-native investors. Your traditional VC relationships won’t capture this alpha; it requires a specialized lens to navigate this new frontier.
