we've raised a Series A to accelerate crypto development at @heliuslabs! in mid-2022, my co-founders (@liamvovk and @nick_pennie) and I left Coinbase & AWS to make a dent on a big problem facing crypto: a shortage of quality products it was (and still is) too hard to build fast, cheap, and scalable apps as a crypto developer Solana was the first real answer to this with its scale and performance, but it was hard to build on while everyone ruled it out due to vast information asymmetry — we doubled down on it, exclusively since then, we've grown to power the majority of the ecosystem, ranging from @helium's L1 migration to @MadLads' monumental mint and Discord/Shopify's first Solana integrations we've done this with a small team, while everyone called Solana dead and with a tiny fraction of our competitors' funding with this raise, we plan to accelerate the adoption of crypto-powered systems and Solana as much as humanly possible over the coming weeks, we'll be releasing important primitives such as generalized zk compression, next-gen RPC tooling and infra, and other surprises thank you to all who have supported us and Solana so far most importantly, thank you to all Solana developers who have trusted us to help them we have barely begun time to accelerate (p.s if this mission interests you, I'm hiring, DM me)
