Our take

, disrupting systems through cryptographic verification, game-theoretic equilibrium, and programmatic scarcity.

Polychain Capital is a leading venture capital firm with a focus on blockchain technologies. The company believes that society is poised to restructure itself around blockchain-based incentive systems, and it actively contributes to this future by allocating funds towards breakthrough technologies and the dedicated technical teams building these transformative systems.

Recently, Polychain Capital achieved a remarkable milestone by raising approximately $200M in its fourth crypto venture capital fund. This achievement demonstrates the firm's resilience and determination in navigating the somewhat turbulent crypto investment landscape. Going forward the company is shifting its research focus into promising Etherium-based projects which will help it excel in an otherwise bearish market.
