Today, we rock with over 200 team members around the world. Our diverse team hails from 42 nationalities, with backgrounds ranging from DeFi natives to PhDs.

We support the growth of Web3 startups through our Accelerator Program, upgrade ecosystems by injecting liquidity into promising DeFi, RWA, and NFT protocols, and push the industry’s progress with our research and governance initiatives.
