Welcome @hal2001 our new Venture Partner to the Robot family 🦾
Hart brings a wealth of experience as the founder of UMA & Across protocols and will be working closely to assist the projects we invest in.
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.
Busted!
We like the LOOT, and have begun collecting it.
@lootproject is randomized adventurer gear generated and stored on chain, and an inflection-point that redefines what NFTs are capable of 🧵
Over the weekend, astounding NFT purchases hit the chain. But how do holders such as @FLAMINGODAO achieve liquidity on their assets?
Securitized NFT baskets are likely how most investors will get exposure and that’s why we invested in @NFTX_
We're excited to announce our $1.5M seed round led by @robotventures, with participation from @colosseum and @SolanaVentures.
The team proudly welcomes these legendary investors to the Hylo family as we stay focused on our mission: building DeFi Native Money on @solana.
If you’re going to build something great, we’re here to build it with you.
PS, we typically invest $1-3M, and love to lead pre-seed rounds, especially if you went to the same math camp as @tarunchitra 🤖
Congrats to @Lighter_xyz on officially launching their mainnet!
Lighter is one of the most exciting ZK applications ever built and we’re excited to keep supporting them on this journey.
The Lighter public mainnet is live after 8 months of private beta!

First, @0xmadisonn has been promoted to Investment Partner.
She’ll be spending more time with our favorite early-stage companies, working with teams on mechanism/protocol design, and reading a lot more code and whitepapers.
We haven’t updated our website in a year, because the pace of DeFi building has taken full focus 👷🚜🛠
But needless to say, there are some amazing companies we are backing, e.g @sirenprotocol, @feiprotocol, that we are very proud of and wanted to give a shout-out to ✌️
A proposal has been submitted to sell 10% of LDO tokens to Paradigm and other strategic partners, directly from Lido DAO's treasury, to further Lido’s stETH as the leading liquid staking solution for Ethereum.

We're excited to support them on this journey 🫡
Fault attribution is the most important aspect of decentralization — without a threat model for reasoning about the costs of adversarial attacks, one can't construct useful (let alone valid) proofs
