My views are my own, not those of Hack VC and is not investment advice.

Looking forward to see @AlpackaP alongside a strong lineup at @CoinTelegraph CONNECT during Token2049 Singapore

[rodney() @0xRodney]

I'm very proud that @hack_vc invested in @MeckaAI's $60M round. Josh has been a friend for many years and it has been very inspiring to see his journey in solving data for physical AI.

When they started almost nobody thought collecting human motion data this way would work at scale. They just kept building. Now, their data fuels some of the most powerful models in the world.

Congrats again to @joshavata and the whole team.

[Alexander Pack @alpackaP]

We’re excited to back @Silicon_Data as they bring computer futures, indices, and data transparency to the world, including powering the CME’s landmark compute futures product next month.

The entire S&P 500 is now available onchain in the US via our portfolio company Dinari.

Happening now! 🤖

Another bright young FTX alumni made the news today.

Rome’s stack is open: apps, contracts, SDK, and chain. Ethereum-style contracts running inside Solana’s runtime.

(1) We’re here at Stanford for the Science of Blockchain Conference.

Hack VC is co-hosting three events - if you’re a founder, investor, researcher, or builder, we’d love to see you there.

[Hack VC @hack_vc]

Thanks to everyone who joined us yesterday at Stablecoin Sessions during SBC in Stanford.

Great conversations with founders, builders, investors, and operators working on the next generation of stablecoin infrastructure.

[ChrisF(✱,✱) @chris_anm01]

We couldn’t have achieved any of this without Hack's support from dayone.

We’re focused on long-term value and positive externalities.

Physical AI is a vast frontier — and we simply want to build something genuinely useful in it

BREAKING: @axisrobotics closes their $12M seed led by @hack_vc

Keeping my eyes on these guys 👀🤖

[Rome @RomeProtocol]

If you're bringing a protocol to Rome, the oracle question is already answered.

The Oracle Gateway exposes Solana's Pyth and Switchboard accounts through the interface your Solidity already uses — Chainlink's latestRoundData(). No relay, no new oracle network, no code changes.

[ChrisF(✱,��) @chris_anm01]

Grateful to all our investors for the trust and support.

Your backing is the strongest validation of our team and the community building with us.

Physical AI is a massive opportunity, but we’re still early.
Our goal is simple: move fast, stay grounded, and create real value at every step.

Onward!

[Hack VC @hack_vc]

We’re thrilled to announce our investment in @axisrobotics

Axis Robotics is cracking the embodied AI data crisis with hybrid data pipelines. Can’t wait to see the “GPT” moment for physical AI.

[David Schamis @dschamis]

Well - as I often do, I overthought this one.

It turned out to be as simple as the other three. @HyperliquidX was marking $CXMT at ~¥42.70 the day before listing. Yesterday the stock opened ¥49.50, traded as low as ¥38.39, as high as ¥55.00, and closed at ¥49.00.

The HL mark sat inside the first day's range. From an IPO price of ¥8.66.

I spent the weekend arguing there had to be a scarcity premium baked into that price, since offshore money is locked out of A-shares entirely. There wasn't. If anything the perp marked below where the stock actually cleared - and it has traded at a discount to the A-share ever since.

What did hold up was the mechanism. At 11:00 Shanghai time the contract converted from a pre-IPO perp to a standard equity perp - external oracle, funding multiplier from 0.005 to 0.5. You can see it in the funding data to the hour: a 107x step, exactly where @tradexyz's docs said it would be.

And the part I didn't see coming: post-conversion funding has been negative the entire time. The perp is trading below its oracle - meaning longs are currently being paid to hold it, not charged.

The moral, again: Hyperliquid delivered accurate and valuable price discovery ahead of a major IPO. That's four in a row now - @cerebras, @SpaceX, @SKhynix, and now CXMT.

[Axis Robotics @axisrobotics]

We’re thrilled to announce a $12M Seed round, led by @hack_vc, with participation from @NomadCapital_io , @PiCoreTeam Ventures , @10kventure and top angel investors.

Physical AI has a data problem. Models need more than static datasets—they need diverse data that evolves with them.

Axis’s compounding Data Engine is here to fix this gap. Our end-to-end closed-loop workflow unites large-scale simulation, egocentric real-world capture, and human-in-the-loop post-training to unlock scalable production of structured, multi-diverse robotic data — the core missing piece for Physical AI.

The capital will accelerate Axis’s mission to build a massively parallel, human-in-the-loop global data engine. We’re just getting started.

An API, not a custodian.

Rome's bridge runs on Circle's CCTP and Wormhole underneath — Rome adds no custodian on top. Your signature is the only authority, gas on arrival is sponsored, and it embeds in your own app.

7 chains, live on devnet 👇

[Rome @RomeProtocol]

Bring your Solidity.

Compound v3 runs on Rome today — the canonical Comet codebase, deployed against tokens that live on Solana.

No rewrite. The EVM runs natively inside the Solana runtime.
