Company profile
researched Aug 2026Clique is a San Francisco, California-based infrastructure company focused on data computing for blockchains. Its core product area is oracles that can process private data off-chain in a secure and trust-minimized way, using technologies such as zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and trusted execution environments (TEEs). The company states it was the first to productionize oracles handling private data in this manner.
The company is developing the Clique Compute Coordination Network, which organizes off-chain compute resources and allocates them to both general applications and smart contracts. Components include co-processors for verifiable computation over on-chain data, oracles that pull data from internet data sources, and specialized hardware for privacy, AI, and secure computation. The stated aim is to let applications select among compute vendors and adjust for preferences around trust, privacy, security, performance, and cost.
Clique was founded by Kevin Yu and Jaden Yan. Developers and protocols integrate with the company through its SDK.
Founding story
The company was founded by Kevin Yu and Jaden Yan, initially focused on oracles capable of handling private data off-chain.
Business model
Clique supplies compute and data infrastructure to blockchain applications and smart contracts, coordinating third-party compute vendors (ZKP-based verifiable compute, TEE-based confidential compute, GPU-based AI compute) and exposing access through an SDK that developers and protocols integrate.
Traction
Clique reports enabling over $3.5 billion in on-chain transactions through its protocol, serving more than 750,000 end users in the Web3 space, and partnerships with more than 500 businesses. It has helped bootstrap on-chain user data for ecosystems including Arbitrum, Optimism, Linea, Mantle, and Ronin, and lists counterparties such as Sony Music US, Trip.com, Aave, Eigenlayer, Sushiswap, Velodrome, and Synthetix.
Latest developments
In March 2024 Clique announced an $8 million Series A led by Polychain Capital, with proceeds directed at building its heterogeneous compute coordination network.
