Investment thesis

The Cost of Trust framework identifies two mechanisms by which blockchains create venture-scale economic value within high-cost-of-trust markets: (1) trust-intermediary rent compression, undercutting fees extracted by existing intermediaries, and (2) enablement, creating trust-dependent outcomes that legacy infrastructure cannot produce. The strongest outcomes compound both mechanisms. The firm also emphasizes four structural properties of blockchains—programmable bearer settlement, verifiable computation and state, structural neutrality, and permissionless global participation—that enable centralized alternatives to be disrupted. Current deployment focuses on mature onchain finance segments (native asset tokenization, trade and invoice finance, commodity price discovery) and emerging trust markets created by AI, including permissionless AI infrastructure and sovereign agents.
