Pollen Labs

We design and build digital products for mission-driven teams, especially where trust, transparency, privacy, or complex coordination matter.

Honored to help shape Cactus 🌵 At Pollen Labs, our job is to ensure cross-pollination, even under arid conditions. Some of the best work happens quietly, underground. As Cactus grows new buds through its nodes, thanks to the care of @ScopeLift and @BenDiFrancesco, we're glad to see @CactusHQxyz take root in the wild.

📢 ICYMI: Yesterday we announced our new brand for the Tally governance platform. We had big shoes to fill, but I'm proud of what we cooked up! 🌵 @CactusHQxyz

Major props to @PollenLabs_ 💚 They were instrumental partners in developing the new brand identity.

This is the kind of design challenge we live for at Pollen Labs: trust, privacy, transparency.

UniRep was a very early concept of leveraging ZKP. We enjoy these challenges and will share more about our learnings from various projects we developed.

Back in 2023, we incubated a privacy-preserving social media project.

Building social media is hard. Adding true anonymity on top?? 🧐 A whole different problem.

Reef.Regen dApp: https://t.co/QcGQ7jIqL4

[Pollen Labs @PollenLabs_]

Reef.Regen is now live on #Optimism mainnet, and today we invite the community, whether you’re part of web3 or a scientist to help us spread the word about this simple app. We look forward to creating more impact together with the restoration communities, for a healthier ocean.

[Pollen Labs @PollenLabs_]

Introducing you: Reef.Regen. A simple app for the coral restoration community.

When we met @MesoReefDAO and got inspired by their deSci mission, we started researching how we might design a solution to empower more people into a permissionless ecosystem.

[Pollen Labs @PollenLabs_]

The public can discover restoration efforts globally via Reef.Regen's map and see the activities happening in each location. We also know coral restoration groups need a hand publicizing their work, so a public shareable profile page and a map that can be embedded on any website.

Past work: Community Link, bridging the digital divide through DePIN: https://t.co/hELQT0Wpc8

[Pollen Labs @PollenLabs_]

While others chase the hype, we chase the problem.
Last year, when we explored the Community Link project, it felt like one of those exciting ideas everyone wanted to believe in. #DePIN , connectivity, sounded promising. But hype is easy, understanding the real problem isn’t.

[Pollen Labs @PollenLabs_]

Now we’re revisiting our old work with fresh eyes and chasing the problem more deeply, with more clarity and less noise. If you’re curious about what we’re exploring next, or want to jam on similar challenges.

DM us. Let’s meet. Let’s learn together.
