Haven Digital Partners is a regulated investment manager providing institutional and professional token holders with a tailored, transparent and secure pathway to access on-chain yield in the DePIN ecosystem, supported by Anchorage Digital’s qualified custody. While the DePIN sector offers compelling opportunities for token-based yield, institutional participation remains complex. Key barriers include: 1️⃣ Origination and Compliance - Identifying top-tier DePIN providers globally, conducting thorough KYC/AML, and completing technical, operational, and financial due diligence 2️⃣ Protocol Expertise – Understanding protocol-specific risks such as slashing, network fees, reward dynamics, and long-term adoption trends 3️⃣ Operational Complexity – Maintaining 24/7 monitoring, automation, and reporting across a multi-provider architecture 4️⃣ Asset Custody – Ensuring delegation of assets through a qualified and regulated custodian Haven simplifies and institutionalizes DePIN participation through a robust, end-to-end offering: ✅ Tailored Portfolios – Customized delegation strategies aligned with each token holder’s risk appetite—evaluating provider geography, concentration, and historical performance ✅ Full Transparency – Clients retain full visibility into delegated positions and provider performance, accessible via the Haven platform ✅ Secure Infrastructure – Partnering with Anchorage Digital, all delegations are executed under qualified custody, ensuring regulatory compliance and asset security 1st year milestones: - Filecoin Filecoin Foundation (decentralized storage): 8 million FIL delegated to vetted storage providers, supporting the onboarding of ~200 PiBs of verified data via the Filecoin Plus (FIL+) program -Aethir (decentralized compute): Recently launched institutional delegation for Aethir (ATH), enabling token holders to support compute providers scaling infrastructure for AI and gaming applications   ❇️ Looking ahead: Haven is actively expanding into additional verticals within the DePIN ecosystem, including energy, communications, mobility, and logistics, with the goal of broadening institutional access to this critical and emerging category of digital infrastructure.

Global payments are stuck in the past. We’ve built the fix. After months in stealth, I’m thrilled to share what we’ve been working on and be out in the wild! Xweave has raised $3M in seed funding to reinvent how money moves across borders—powered by blockchain, a fresh approach to infrastructure, and a deep understanding of what’s broken. We’re backed by Jungle Ventures , Lightshift, Menyala, White Star Capital, Fabric Ventures , DCG, The Venture Dept and some incredible angels who believe in a better future for global finance. The opportunity: Cross-border payments are slow, expensive, and full of friction. Legacy systems weren’t built for the web3 age. The fix: Xweave enables real-time, regulatorily compliant, asset agnostic, cross-border settlements — no pre-funding, no clunky integrations. Just programmable, stable coin-powered transactions - that work. This gives businesses the opportunity to focus on what they do best - serve their customers. Our intelligent routing engine is already live with design partners and moving money across borders - without pre-funding - since December of last year. Xweave enables near real-time, regulatorily compliant cross-border payments through digital asset–powered settlement. We simplify access to next-gen infrastructure and are uniquely positioned to capitalise on the exponential growth of stablecoins and CBDCs. TLDR; We’re already live. We’re scaling across key markets. Huge thanks to the incredible Xweave team Sandra Heng Hong Lina Benjamin Praise Agus —none of this happens without your talent, grit, and relentless focus. Let’s move money like it’s 2025.

Real estate is the world's largest asset class, valued at over $380 trillion, but it remains fragmented, slow, and trapped in outdated infrastructure. Today, I'm thrilled to announce Arda Labs is officially emerging from stealth with a $3m pre-seed from Lightshift. Think of us as AWS meets Visa, purpose-built for real estate, powered by AI and blockchain. We're creating the technology rails to digitize the entire lifecycle, unifying assets, data, and embedded finance onto a single, public, and open seamless ecosystem. For developers, this means faster financing. Asset owners gain instant liquidity from their holdings. Investors gain frictionless access to fractional ownership of large-scale assets, and institutions benefit from real-time visibility and built-in regulatory compliance. And for everyday users, it means unprecedented access, transparency, and ease in managing, trading, or investing in real estate. After more than a decade leading digital asset initiatives at Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan where I led and commercialized Quorum, the first enterprise Ethereum platform, I've developed a deep understanding of bridging traditional finance with emerging technology. My experience serving on the boards of companies like Anchorage Digital, BitGo, Blockdaemon and TRM Labs has given me years of partnering closely with founders, scaling new businesses, and navigating complex markets. Our team combines deep experience in real estate, finance, and technology, uniquely positioning us to transform real estate. We're not just digitizing the industry; we're reimagining it.
