DeFi Foundry Wrapped 🎬✅
One year. No announcements that didn't ship. No partnerships that stayed on paper. No governance theater.
Just numbers.
👇
• 6 OTC deals closed • 10M+ raised across projects
•500K+ minimum tickets
• 30+ strategic partners
• 300+ scouts powering dealflow
• 1.8K+ builders & investors in our community
Year one was about proving the model.
Year two is about scaling it.
Thanks to everyone who showed up before we were obvious.
If you're watching from the outside — the door's still open. For now.
2026 will be louder. But more importantly, bigger.
Most founders think the hard part is building the prototype, It’s not.
The real challenge starts after advisory support ends, when you’re expected to turn early validation into real partnerships and capital.
Here’s a grounded playbook we’ve seen work repeatedly 👇
Would you rather raise $50K from believers or $500K from tourists?
Believers: • Show up when things get quiet • Introduce you to partners • Help you think, not just watch the chart • Stay aligned when timelines slip
Tourists: • Ask “wen listing?” • Panic at the first red candle • Disappear when execution starts • Add noise, not leverage
Here’s the uncomfortable truth most founders learn late: $50K from the right people compounds harder than $500K from the wrong ones.
Choose investors the same way you choose co-founders.
Money is easy to raise but alignment is rare.
What would you choose…and why?
OTC is back and Floki just proved it.
Their recent OTC activity wasn’t “just another transaction.” It was a live masterclass in how major ecosystems manage liquidity, protect market structure, and position themselves for the next expansion cycle without relying solely on public markets.
Here are the biggest insights 👇
🚀 Hello December.
Final lap of 2025 and we are not slowing down.
DeFi Foundry is pushing more dealflow, more mid-cap alpha, more support for founders, and more investor connections.
If you are building or backing serious Web3 projects, this is your month.
Let’s close the year strong. ⚡
🎮 Gaming isn’t a narrative. It’s a funnel with real users, real spend, and the cleanest on-chain growth curve.

Stay tuned for more alphas. Let's build a more stable financial portfolio
With the recent depeg of several yield protocol backed stablecoins, it's clear that not enough people have enough data of what is going on onchain in terms of proof of reserves, project loans, users, volume and alot more..
I'll be starting an analytical series where I curate data extensive Dune dashboards for some of the high TVL lending and borrowing markets + yield protocols, if you have any project favourite pls let me know ty
Early Projects with little or no hype you can position for or bag jobs.
We all know recently the meta has shifted to infofi projects
Leaving little or no attention to most projects actually building.
Here are lists of projects I think are actually worth it but have little hype for now.
> Prediction Markets
- @KairosTradeX
Building the fastest prediction market trading terminal and in partnership with @tier10k
Really bullish on kairos same with almost every prediction market audience like @Polymarket and @Kalshi
Private beta coming up soon so you can sign up on the waitlist.
https://t.co/W8SAI2gKdg
- @ConvergeMarkets
They have been on my radar for a long time and are the first prediction market aggregator and professional trading.

Pay attention to them.
> NFT Projects
- @WCNetizens
Early MegaETH NFT collection which I think you should pay attention to.
The artist behind the collection @shiro57102 has a good track record with past collections.

- @OriginalBlokyz
Another project I feel you can pay attention to.
They also have a partnership with @coingecko for now there are no much info on them.
> Other Projects
- @MentorableHQ
Still not a lot of hype on them because of no announcement of fundraising or discord roles.
No harm in having them on your watchlist of projects to watch out for.
- @shodai_network
Raised around $2 million+ days ago from @Consensys and @ConsensysMesh to rebuild what drives crypto inside out.
Might be a good addition to potential projects to watch out for.
- @harmonic_gg
Harmonic is an open block building system optimized for apps and built to make Solana faster.
No announcement on fundraising or discord yet.
- @Tunnl_io
Imagine Kaito, Xeet and wallchain but this time instant creator payouts daily.
You earn tickets:
By talking about projects on them, referrals e.t.c
Which in turn the tickets can be used to earn usdc.
E.g Their recent partnership with @base
Still really early so just sign up and connect your X.
- https://t.co/m5hO0Bh0uq
- @MavAgents
Even though they are currently live on kaito still little hype on them.
I see a lot of Top CT peeps bullish on them so check them out.
And they are also powered by @pip_world

Lately we've seen a decent amount of Defi protocols onboard Tradfi companies into the space ( some of these companies with the sole aim to build, some to max extract),but one concept I've not seen until yesterday was a protocol where you can be a who you are( a defi usoor) and you get benefits off that IRL without having to offramp..
I'm talking about @crediblefin, with over $97 million in volume,Credible has solidified their role as the RWA and credit layer of web3 for Tradfi, basically Credible provide vaults for users and pools instutions, with vaults you can get apy on your deposits( that's not all) you can also get Credible credit cards and you can use these credit cards IRL against your capital, basically bnpl but this time using your onchain txns history and behaviour..
Lets take for instance, a user deposits into an instution pool,when the Credible cards are live, that user can access the services of a Neobank or Fintech that Credible has partnered with, without having to offramp.
Tldr: Credible adopts the credit system but this time it's onchain.
The waitlist for the cred card Is now live, join with the link in the comments
We’re excited to announce our strategic partnership with @FinceptorApp, the most complete private Web3 investing platform.
Together, we’re building a stronger bridge between builders, liquidity, and capital; connecting high-potential projects with early-stage investors, public sale opportunities, and structured yield products.
This collaboration reinforces DeFi Foundry’s mission to scale ecosystems quietly and effectively: helping projects raise, grow, and thrive with the right partners.
💠 Smart capital meets strategic growth.
In a space where “partnership” often means a retweet or logo swap, Connectico Capital has built a different kind of reputation,one rooted in trust, long-term collaboration, and real value
creation .
At DeFi Foundry, we don’t just look for investors with capital,we look for partners who stay
through the build, not just the hype .
That’s why Connectico Capital stands out.
Connectico Capital is a global Web3 investment and advisory firm focused on early and
mid-stage projects in DeFi, infrastructure, and emerging blockchain use cases.
Their portfolio and partnerships span ecosystems like Ethereum, Solana, and emerging L1s —
but what makes them different is their hands-on involvement in every deal.
They help projects with:
🔹 Fundraising and investor syndication
🔹 Tokenomics and market-making structure
🔹 Exchange listings and liquidity support
🔹 Brand and go-to-market positioning
🤝 Why We Value Them ?
In OTC and private dealflow, trust is currency.
You’re not just moving capital, you’re aligning incentives, managing timelines, and navigating
volatile markets.
Connectico brings structure and transparency to that process. Their model ensures:
✅ Founders get access to investors who actually add value.
✅ Investors get curated exposure to quality dealflow.
✅ Both sides build relationships that extend beyond the first raise.
This alignment is what’s kept Connectico trusted among top-tier VCs, launchpads, and strategic
funds in 2025’s Web3 landscape.
As private deals and OTC rounds gain momentum again, the winners will be the ones who
partner right , not just the ones who raise fast.
That’s why DeFi Foundry works closely with Connectico Capital: to help serious projects raise
smart, grow sustainably, and tap into networks that drive real adoption.
Follow their journey: @Connectico_CON

Happy new month, fam. Let’s make October a winning month. 🏆
