About Company

We enable dynamic scalable blockchain experiences. Currently dapps that are deployed to generalpurpose blockchain compete with thousands of other applications for space on the network this can lead tocongestion and high feesor evennetwork outages.

Thats where we come in.Were building software that makes it easy for the most innovative blockchain applications to launch their own ultraperformant blockchains (rollups) enabling applications to own their ecosystem scale to millions of users and provide a superior user experience to their players.

Were located in San Francisco and work inperson from the Financial District
