Investment thesis
Polychain focuses on the emerging digital asset class created by bitcoin and subsequent blockchain technologies, where scarcity derives from mathematical properties. It views blockchain-based assets as capable of being created, issued, and transmitted via software through cryptographic verification and game-theoretic equilibrium.
