Our portfolio company Nabla Finance tried something new: a memecoin-like 'fair launch' pre-TGE sale on Fjord Foundry and was rewarded with a record sell-out of under a minute. Well done Aaron Lindner, PhD & team! The Nabla Finance yield protocol is live - try it out here: https://www.nabla.fi/

It is pivotal to build infrastructure for a web3 that enables privacy where it really matters. This is why we have selected a suite of four highly complimentary, emergent projects for our portfolio: Arcium, Enclave, Orochi Network, and Zap Labs. Each of these leverages zero-knowledge and other privacy-focused technologies to enhance scalability, privacy, and security in web3 applications. #portfolio #privacy https://lnkd.in/dSNdqjP2

Lava Network provides high-performance RPC services for Web3 applications. Great! But did you also know you can earn tokens from your favourite chains through their incentive pools? Read our interview below to find out all about it. https://lnkd.in/dU4x7pfS

We are delighted to announce the Final Close of our first, web3-native, token-first fund SMAPE Smart Perspectives I. The fund invests in core web3 infrastructure and web3 native business models. We’d like to thank all our LPs for their support, trust, valuable inputs, and commitment to us and our investment narrative. Without that, none of it would have been possible. Launched in early 2023, we raised €6.25M from a global LP base (ranging from web3 natives to institutional investors) to be invested in pre-seed/seed stage ventures (~€150-250k tickets at ~€5-25M valuation, token and equity investments) before they are widely known. We believe that web3 is the future and our experience enables us to identify, assess and develop value accretive token utility/economics in the projects we invest in. Our investments enable scaling, interoperability, and mass-adoption of new, web3-native business models and have the potential to advance markets into a new era. Get in touch to learn more about SMAPE, our portfolio, and our value adds. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll do it all over again… #SMAPE #SmartPerspectives #web3 #wellbeback https://lnkd.in/deXteyfC
