Congratulations to the team – we were happy to support

[Ekiden @ekidenfi]

Ekiden has raised $​2M to bring institutional-grade, high-frequency trading infrastructure on-chain.

Here’s why this matters:

1/ On-chain trading has a large performance problem.

$​800B+ in perpetual futures are traded daily

Less than 1.5% is settled on-chain.

Institutions are ready, but products are not
Ekiden is here to change that.

[Hardcore Labs @hardcore_labs]

We’ve been working with @ResolvLabs for a long time, and the team has always struck us as extremely capable and professional.
Incidents happen; we hope the protocol comes back stronger than ever.

1/ We are so excited to highlight @hcl_labs, a market-neutral DeFi fund investing across ecosystems. In 2025, the team added separate managed accounts and expanded to new L1S and L2S. They needed uniform controls and faster execution.
