Verifiable yield arrives on @Monad.

Our YieldApp is now running on Monad's Mainnet as the first marketplace where every vault must show its underlying assets, liabilities, and capital flows in real time.

[Accountable @AccountableData]

We’ve seen it again this week: liquidity shocks, exploit contagion, and protocols forced into suspension because the verification layer is missing.

When data inputs, oracles, or curator incentives aren’t verifiable, the entire yield layer becomes an opaque risk-transfer game.

The truth is, the fragility we’re seeing isn’t unique to any specific protocol like @MorphoLabs or @eulerfinance. When visibility into positions, liabilities, and incentives depends on trust instead of proof, markets drift into opacity.

That’s the paradox of DeFi today: code is open, but information still isn’t. Yields are composable, but risk isn’t traceable.

That’s literally why we've built @AccountableData, to replace probabilistic trust with verifiable truth. To ensure solvency, collateral, and incentives are verifiable continuously.

Excited to announce that we have raised our third venture fund! I want to thank everyone involved for coming along with us in this new journey and build on top of our track record over the past 8 years. We will continue backing exciting projects in this space that push for innovation and creativity

This new fund will focus on supporting our portfolio companies to the best of our abilities with the experience and team we have assembled over the last 2 funds. We keep seeing interesting opportunities and new ways of using the technology every day, especially on the application side. This is an exciting time to be an investor in one of the most fast-paced industries.

[Maven 11 @Maven11Capital]

Incredibly proud to announce the closing of our third venture fund, building on our track record of investing in great founders.

More than ever, we will back brave outliers who are pushing this industry forward.

Introducing Verde

Verde is a high-scale verification system for machine learning over untrusted nodes. It ensures correct execution of ML operations across any device in the world, from data centres to the edge. It operates at runtime and doesn't require any onboarding.

The network for machine intelligence

Two years ago, we laid out our vision for a machine learning compute protocol. One that connects every device in the world into an open network for machine intelligence, with no gatekeepers or artificial boundaries.

This week, we’ll be sharing some of our early progress, beginning with RL Swarm, a peer-to-peer system for collaborative reinforcement learning over the internet.

Next month, we’ll open our Testnet, allowing anyone to contribute to the frontier of open machine intelligence.

Introducing RL Swarm

RL Swarm is a fully open source system for collaborative reinforcement learning over the internet. It is a live demo of our research findings, which show that models training with RL learn faster when they train as a collective swarm than they do on their own.

Join our swarm now to see this in practice. You can participate with consumer hardware at home or a powerful GPU in the cloud. You can follow along with the swarm’s progress by following the links below.

Maven 11 announces key promotions and new advisors as we launch our third fund, reinforcing our commitment to supporting brave outliers in the ever-evolving crypto industry.

[Bram Van Roelen @bram_m11]

Lots of tweets talking about the general fatigue in the industry, even saying people are ‘bored’. In general I would agree, but then you watch @buchmanster present his vision for @cyclesmoney and you know we are building something which can actually disrupt the status quo.

[Joost van der Plas @JCvdPlas]

Here we go again!

[Maven 11 @Maven11Capital]

We are looking forward to continuing our journey in supporting bold founders in this industry!

[Maven 11 @Maven11Capital]

What a stellar line-up for the Modular Summit https://t.co/Ez9OKEwaMO ! With talks from @VitalikButerin, @bertcmiller, @gakonst and @evansforbes, we will host the absolute best of the best in this industry.

We can’t wait to see you all there!

[Balder @BalderBomans]

The latest decision by @coinbase to launch their own chain fits well within our vision for a modular world we envisioned back in 2020 at @Maven11Capital.

I am convinced more will follow.

[M11 Credit @M11Credit]

We are pleased to share that we have reached a successful resolution with @Auros_global, enabling Liquidity Providers in M11 Credit’s USDC Permissioned and wETH pools on @maplefinance to expect a 100% return of their funds over time.
