Investment thesis
RockawayX invests in early-stage blockchain and crypto projects and then works hands-on to help them grow. Beyond capital, the firm's engineers contribute on-chain code daily, operates validators from its own data centers, and develops protocol-ready hardware and bare-metal infrastructure so projects can launch faster and operate more efficiently. As one of the largest on-chain liquidity providers across blockchain ecosystems, the firm brings deep DeFi expertise, having partnered with over 100 projects to design products and scalable liquidity programs. It was a seed backer of Solana and continues to expand within that and other ecosystems.
