These tools are part of our commitment to optimize and expand Ethereum's potential for all its users.
Who We Are
Our team comprises over 80 professionals, including builders formerly from well-known Web3 organizations such as Consensys, Polygon, and Ethereum. Backed by influential tech investors like Blockchain Capital and Bain Capital Ventures, we are pioneering new possibilities in Ethereum scaling and usability. Our team works remotely, hailing from diverse locations globally, and we value curiosity, passion, and accountability in our collaborative efforts.
