Have loved jamming with Rift as they invented a solution for it and brought it to mainnet
Excited to be backing them!

Self custody swaps between Ethereum and Bitcoin, with no middle men.
Powered by Uniswap liquidity. Secured by TEEs.

they're the perfect example of why we built succinct
give builders proofs and watch them build the impossible

I wrote a thing.
At @commonwarexyz, we're building components that massively scale blockchains. Check out why we think the Merkle Mountain Range (MMR) will be fundamental.
