Our take

Every complex system requires appropriate infrastructure to function, and blockchain is no different. Proper blockchain infrastructure is vital to creating a better, more inclusive Web 3.0, and will be crucial to its long-term growth and success.

Founded in 2018, Figment plays a leading role in building the Web 3.0 ecosystem by providing essential blockchain infrastructure, protocol staking, and research. The company has seen explosive growth driven by increased network support, expanded services, and customer retention. And in Q1 2024, Figment reported fivefold growth from the previous year, surpassing $15B in staked assets with over 500 institutional clients.

Following significant funding rounds, Figment is expanding its product offerings and team. With security and compliance central to its operations, the company is well-positioned to benefit from the growing popularity of Web 3.0 amid increasing regulations. The establishment of Figment Europe and plans for new products like Figment Vaults and Ethereum restaking capabilities further support its growth trajectory.
