Wrote a piece on the need for a neutral, onchain, harness.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Today marks one year since Cap launched. In that time, we’ve proven both our model and our resilience.

Here’s a look back at everything we’ve delivered.

In @jaeyong's presentation at @StanfordSBA, he illustrates how Cap is fixing the problems facing private credit 👇

- Verified collateral prevents double-pledging
- Underwriter skin in the game ensures accountability
- Instant liquidations maintain full collateralization

I've never recorded a video announcement before. But after 15 years of working in AI and 1.5 years heads down building @CambrianNetwork, I wanted to share this news myself.

I'm proud to announce the public launch of the Cambrian API, which you can try free on https://t.co/cNcQRMa8Xw

In 2024, while building an AI copilot for trading, I became convinced that the future of finance would be increasingly operated by agents. I also realized that existing data solutions were far from meeting the needs of a burgeoning industry called agentic finance.

So I assembled a team of data, infrastructure, and finance veterans, earned support from @a16zcrypto @Polychain @FTDA_US and many other amazing investors, and embarked on a mission to build the world's financial intelligence layer.

Today, the Cambrian API is out of beta. It's the best source of onchain and offchain signal for AI agents and institutions to make winning financial decisions, such as:

- Smarter trading strategies
- Automated yield-maximization
- Social sentiment-based trades
- Risk analyses & much more

Start using it for free and scale as your needs grow.

[Cambrian Network 🪴 @CambrianNetwork]

We’ve officially launched our first product: the Cambrian API, aka the best source of real-time and historical financial data across onchain and offchain sources.

Our financial intelligence allows agents, institutions, and traders alike to build strategies never before possible, by virtue of being built upon data that no one else has.

Start making winning financial decisions onchain.

Yield and Credit

Two narratives that have so much more going on under the hood, and two people who actually know the difference between narrative and mechanics

Franklin Crypto held its first venture team offsite this week in NY. The venture strategies will play an absolute vital, foundational role across the division as we seek out the most exciting, dynamic and innovative companies around the world, led by the most bold and intrepid entrepreneurs. These are the men and women with the biggest, most transformational ideas at a time when crypto, which will be accelerated by and more deeply integrated with AI and Quantum, promises to transform civilization as we know it. Hard not to be excited. 🚀🚀🚀
