We recently led the round for @tori_finance, a protocol bringing institutional delta-neutral yield strategies on-chain, unlocking return amplification, composability, and access that traditional finance can't offer. Today we sat down with @0xNox_eth to go deep on the podcast: • How the carry trade actually works and why FX hedging spreads persist. • How positions survive a 30% currency drop. • The security architecture, from NAV oracles to lessons from recent DeFi exploits. • Why this yield was previously gated behind 8-9 figure balance sheets. • How real-time on-chain transparency actually works under the hood. • And how tokenization turns a strong baseline yield into something significantly more powerful.
A new episode of the Delphi Podcast is live! This week we sat down with the founder of @tori_finance to discuss how institutional-grade carry trades can be brought onchain. Watch the full episode here. delphi.link/Toripod

I met with @crabbylions of @colosseum in San Francisco last week and it was immediately clear we should do an in person podcast on their story Colosseum has built @solana's largest hackathon (80,000 participants) has a venture fund to back teams and a huge new physical office

Excited to drop a new episode of the Delphi Ventures Podcast🎙️ I sat down with @Austin_Federa, Co-Founder of @DoubleZero, to unpack why blockchains real-time systems are hitting 'the internet bottleneck' 🤯, and how DoubleZero addresses it. a) The Problem: The current internet is too slow for next-gen systems such as Solana, HFT firms, gaming companies, and AI inference companies b) The Solution: DoubleZero provides a high-speed, private internet w/ several optimizations that result in ultra-low latency and jitter compared to traditional internet rails, all delivered through fat pipes (often 100 Gbps) c) The Method: Contributors supply private fiber lines and are governed by a Proof-of-Utility model, thus incentivizing contributors to keep their routes reliable d) The Optimizations: Private fiber, specialized FPGA chips, and a multi-factor optimization software suite work together to make all this possible e) The Adoption: With 45 fiber links in place, and those expected to grow to 75 by EOY, and 16% of the Solana validator clients already using this, DoubleZero is showing tremendous product-market-fit. With mainnet quickly approaching, I think uptick will happen quicker than people think! f) The Disclosure: @Delphi_Ventures is an investor in DoubleZero, and a big believer in it. While this summary is great, watching the full video (link below) will allow you to be educated in this project. I look forward to doing a retrospective look in 4 years and seeing what percentage of the Internet’s high-value traffic is running over DoubleZero’s pipes. FORWARD!!

members.delphidigital.io/med… ICOs were what initially got me and so many others excited about crypto. 8 years later, capital formation is still one of crypto's killer apps. And for the first time ever it looks like we're gonna get regulatory clarity In this alpha-packed conversation, @legiondotcc and @cookie3 founders share their thoughts on the future of on-chain fundraising, and why they believe "Attention Capital Markets" are the future Check it out!

Noah discusses the brutal path to product market fit for Pumpfun. “People need to understand how difficult it is to hit PMF. I’d say maybe 15 of the top 100 tokens have it... We tried out like eight or nine different ideas—building an NFT launch pad, fundraising for content creators—and we just tried again and again.”

Had a blast hosting @sapijiju on the pod talking all things $PUMP The platform’s been polarizing, but the fundamentals are hard to ignore. At a time when many would call the trenches cooked, they’re running ~$650M in annualized buybacks off trailing 30d revenue Might need another SOL DAT just to keep up with all the SOL they’re offloading into PUMP
Everyone knows @a1lon9 But @pumpdotfun actually has three co-founders We hosted @sapijiju for his first-ever conversation about $PUMP Timestamps 0:00 Intro & Noah's Crypto Journey 7:15 Learning from Failure to Product Market Fit 11:20 Crypto's Lack of Innovation 16:30 Current Creator Models are Broken 18:00 Pump's Content Vision 23:00 Pump as a Product First Operation 25:00 Growing the Pie for Streaming 29:00 Innovating on Content Distribution 34:00 Letting Content Grow Organically 37:40 $1.5B worth of SOL is locked in Pump Liquidity Pools 40:20 Creating a Global Impact with Pump 42:20 What could Pump do with its Warchest? 47:00 The Pump Buybacks 51:00 Why People use Pump 54:00 The Culture Shift of Crypto 57:00 Traditional models no Longer Work 59:00 The Cycle of Human Nature
