ABOUT US

We are a team of entrepreneurs and builders with deep conviction that blockchain will soon encompass a part of our everyday lives, and alter the way we interact with one another

Whether it is in infrastructure, DeFi or Metaverse, we invest in and provide operational support to companies developing cutting edge technologies aimed at solving the current deficiencies in the digital asset space

MINING / VALIDATORS

Since 2018, we have operated bitcoin mining farms in Central Asia. In 2020, we expanded our mining operation to include a US footprint. Globally, we produce 2EH across 3 independent farms. We have also ran over 100 ETH2 validators since the start of the ETH2 phase 1 update. Beyond Bitcoin and Ether, we have also mined storage-based tokens (FIL, XCH) since 2021

MEV

We have been actively exploring MEV strategies and have been running arbitrage bots on Ethereum since early 2022. MEV is an emergent property of blockchains due to the distributed consensus protocol, and has become a key tool for DeFi protocols to outsource essential jobs to decentralized bots. We believe MEV is here to stay, and we are positioning ourselves to capture the upside
