Super excited to back the Hylo team — our team uses xSOL every day Why aren't you?

The promise of ZK-enabled Bitcoin yield is being realized one polynomial at a time (and will be here sooner than you might have expected)

Seven years ago, Robot Ventures started as one person’s hobby. Today, we’re proud to announce that we’re an upgraded and expanded team of five, and we’re more ready than ever to back the most interesting founders in crypto.

Very few folks genuinely understand how to make IBRL a reality. One of the things I love most about the @solana ecosystem is that it attracts the best and brightest who actually know how to make meaningful progress here. Saying I'm "excited" to partner with @pipenetwork doesn't quite capture it. @DavidRhodus and the Pipe team are more like kindred spirits, driven by the same deeply technical vision. When it comes to the content delivery stack for billions of users, Pipe operates literally one hop above us, right after the network layer. They're relentlessly obsessed with optimizing their layer, just as we are with ours. And because our layer directly hands off packets to theirs, this partnership is uniquely important. It means we have to execute flawlessly so Pipe's code can achieve peak performance. There's a specific piece of the DAWN Black Box purpose built exactly for this: the virtualization and network layer. Our system virtualizes workloads and passes data directly to applications using zero-copy networking. This ensures that the Pipe team can have confidence that on our end, bandwidth is maximized and latency minimized, down to the hardware level. I'm eager to dive deeper into this tech because as IBRL gains importance, every application serious about it will have to run something similar to what we've built. The Black Box isn't just a platform for convenience. It's a platform for performance.

Some genius named @tarunchitra wrote the smartest crypto paper we’ve ever seen so we kidnapped him for our podcast. Sorry @_choppingblock we’re not giving him back.

Great read on the state of solving protocols Once again, this is scoped at the protocol itself, not the external arbitrage factors
