Paradigm

We build and invest in the companies and ideas shaping the frontier

[Georgios Konstantopoulos @gakonst]

Open Sourcing Centaur: Multiplayer, self-hosted, secure agents for Slack.

Centaur has been transforming how @paradigm and @tempo invest, build and research.

Now you can run it yourself on infrastructure you control. Instructions below.

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

Excited for Paradigm to co-lead this $110M investment in SendCutSend alongside @andrew__reed, @patrickc, and @collision.

24h turnaround manufacturing that your favorite robot, defense, space, and car companies all use.

Grateful that @jimbelosic allowed us all to get involved.

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

Congrats to Hermes Agent and the whole @NousResearch team!

[Alana Palmedo @alanapalmedo]

Space can become critical infrastructure only when we build the capabilities to defend it. In very rare cases, you come across a founder excruciatingly well suited to deliver on the mission. @jollyrogersta is that founder. Thrilled to back him and his team at @The_TrueAnomaly!

[Tempo @tempo]

Enterprises are bringing stablecoin payment flows into production on Tempo, including @DoorDash, @stripe, @CoastalBankWA, and @arq_finance.

We're also launching our Stablecoin Advisory to help more enterprises build real-world payments workloads on stablecoins.

Applications are now open for the 2026 Paradigm Fellowship: a 4-day retreat for young people who are obsessively good at something technical.

For our fourth year, we're expanding to welcome builders across every frontier — AI, robotics, energy, bio, prediction markets, or something we haven't thought of.

Last year's cohort came from 10 countries. Some were undergrads, some were dropouts, some were founders, some came from OpenAI, SpaceX, Citadel, and Kalshi.

The format is simple: firesides, whiteboarding sessions, and time to hack. What makes it special is what happens in between, and after. Fellows have met cofounders, started companies, and gone on to raise from Paradigm and others.

I was a fellow before joining Paradigm, the retreat was a transformative trip for me, and I met some of my closest friends through the program.

Apply by June 8th. Retreat runs August 12–15th.

We’re excited to finally announce a $5.2 million seed round led by @Paradigm

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

Excited to partner with @WMoushey and @andromeda_ai on shaping compute as the most important commodity of the 21st century

[Tempo @tempo]

Tempo Mainnet is live! Starting today, anyone can build on Tempo through our public RPC endpoints.

Alongside mainnet, we’re introducing the Machine Payments Protocol, an open standard for machine payments.

[John Collison @collision]

Prediction markets are one of the most hotly-discussed new technologies of the past few years. @mansourtarek_ and @luanalopeslara, founders of @kalshi, joined @matthuang and me in the Cheeky Pint pub. We discussed their landmark lawsuit against the CFTC, how market making works on Kalshi, and where prediction markets go from here.

[storm @notnotstorm]

today we are launching v2 of our prediction markets dashboard

the big new features = bar charts + line charts + improved labels

the dashboard is now an extremely powerful way to navigate high dimensional data. other people should steal the design because it's spectacular 🎨🎨

[Alpin Yukseloglu @0xalpo]

new collab from @paradigm and @OpenAI:

evmbench is a benchmark and agent harness for exploiting smart contract bugs

a few months ago, the best models found <20% of critical, fund-draining @Code4rena bugs in our benchmark. today they find > 70%

[storm @notnotstorm]

new from paradigm: we are building a tool for exploring prediction market data

try it out today. I bet you'll find new markets you never knew existed

[Noise @noise_xyz]

Noise is excited to announce a $7.1M Series Seed led by @paradigm

[Alana Palmedo @alanapalmedo]

Thrilled to back @johnrichard and the Crown team to build the Brazilian real stablecoin BRLV. Reais are bout to get rare, a matter for history museums.

[Tempo @tempo]

Tempo’s testnet is live!

Any company can now build on a payments-first chain designed for instant settlement, predictable fees, and a stablecoin-native experience.

Tempo has been shaped with a wide group of partners validating real workloads including @AnthropicAI, @Coupang, @DeutscheBank, @DoorDash, @Lead_Bank, @mercury, @nubank, @OpenAI, @Revolut, @Shopify, @StanChart, and @Visa.

Since our announcement, @brexHQ, @Coastal, @crossriverbank, @deel, @faire_wholesale, @Figure, @GustoHQ , @Kalshi, @Klarna, @Mastercard, @Payoneer, @withpersona, @tryramp, and @UBS have also joined as design partners.

Dedicated payment lanes, stablecoin gas, deterministic finality, a built-in stable asset DEX, and programmable smart accounts are all live on testnet.

If you’re building or modernizing payment flows, you can start integrating and testing today.

[ricardo @notawizard]

excited for our first brazilian investment: @CrownBRLV, the largest stablecoin in emerging markets

growing up in Brazil, crypto gave me access to financial systems that developed countries take for granted

@johnrichard and his team will expand these onchain rails even further

[Alana Palmedo @alanapalmedo]

365/24/7 global banking is here w/ @n3xtinc, the first and only open for business narrow bank backed 100% by reserves and connected onchain. Great to work with this team!
