According to ChainCatcher, Paradigm co-founder Matt Huang posted on social media that when we founded Paradigm in 2018, we believed that cryptocurrency would become one of the most important technological and economic changes in the next few decades. Six years later, this belief has become even stronger.

Bitcoin is worth over $1 trillion. Ethereum, Solana, and other blockchain networks are expanding. Stablecoins are being adopted around the world, and cutting-edge research is accelerating. New infrastructure is enabling consumer applications. Hundreds of millions of people own cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies are now a major player in the global political arena.

Accelerating the positive development of crypto is more important than ever, not only as an investor, but also as a builder. Over the past few years, we have launched several open source projects, including the popular Ethereum development tool Foundry and the high-performance Ethereum execution node Reth, aimed at advancing the development of crypto technology.
