Our Portfolio
Notebook Labs
Blockchain Infrastructure
Notebook uses zero-knowledge cryptography to create a new paradigm for identity verification, giving users full control of their data and allowing them to retain their privacy. Notebook’s technology equips Web3 protocols with simple Sybil-resistant login infrastructure that protects them from attackers and bots and allows them to verify users in a privacy preserving way.
Orb Labs
Orb Labs is a blockchain interoperability company building protocols and tools for developers to build affordable, secure cross-chain applications. Their flagship products are Earlybird, a generic cross-chain messaging protocol for passing data between blockchains, and MagicLane, an omnichain token and messaging platform built on Earlybird.
Community Labs
Blockchain Infrastructure
Community Labs develops critical developer tools and foundational ecosystem solutions for the Arweave ecosystem, beginning with 3EM – short for Web 3 Execution Machine, a code agnostic smart contract framework. Community Labs is modeled after ConsenSys, the well known software development company building on the Ethereum blockchain.
Curio
Curio is building the next-generation of crypto games and infrastructure with fully on-chain games, where user-generated content and player creativity can flourish through the composability and interoperability of blockchain.
Verto Exchange
DeFi
Verto is a decentralized trading protocol built on top of Arweave that facilitates the trading of Arweave profit sharing tokens.
Duality
DeFi
Duality leverages the power of app-specific infrastructure to build novel mechanisms for decentralized exchange, user-focused MEV-aware design, and the next generation of composable DeFi.
Variational Research

MakerDAO
DeFi
Maker (MKR) is a utility token, governance token and recapitalization resource of the Maker system.
It is required for paying the fees accrued on Collateralized Debt Positions (CDPs) used to generate Dai in the Maker system making it a utility token.
MKR holders vote for the risk management and business logic of the system using MKR as governance token. A holder can vote for any number of proposals with the MKR they have and submit a new proposal, or cast or withdraw his votes at any point. The voting process is done through continuous approval voting.

Community Labs is modeled after ConsenSys, the well known software development company building on the Ethereum blockchain.
Our Advantages
Three key areas of expertise help us support the teams building the new pillars of the internet—from ideation through scale.
Technical and economic research
We support teams with a hands-on, deeply technical approach from ideation through mature protocol operations.
Governance design and participation
Crypto protocols require a dedicated level of active participation on topics related to code contribution, risk parameter adjustment, DAO organization, and management. We participate actively in these ecosystems.
Participation across stages
Given the early liquidity dynamics of crypto protocols and limited capital intensity, protocol teams require investors that can participate across the liquidity spectrum, supporting teams in both private and public markets. We have the flexibility to participate across capital stages and even leverage protocols with our own capital.
