According to ChainCatcher, ArkStream Capital announced its investment and dynamics in Q2 2024. A total of 5 projects were invested in this quarter, including:
Compute Labs: The aggregation center and financial layer of GPU computing power in the AI field. Its core technology, Compute Tokenization Protocol (CTP), can provide accurate pricing mechanisms and tokenization/NFT for various computing assets, so that GPU heavy asset operators can obtain large amounts of liquidity in advance.
DappOS: A network centered around intent execution. It converts intent into on-chain results and creates a two-sided market for it. On the supply side, service providers pledge collateral and choose to run one or more intent task execution services. On the demand side, developers are able to find solutions that meet user intent based on their status and supply side. To help developers improve the intent-centric capabilities of their applications, dappOS integrates advanced features such as unified accounts and real-time dApp interactions. In addition, dappOS uses the innovative Optimistic Minimum Staking (OMS) mechanism to ensure that each intent task can be executed efficiently and at low cost.
Avail: Through the two core technologies of data availability sampling (DAS) and light node mechanism, the data availability layer network ensures that the Rollup second-layer network data can be safely and efficiently released. DAS technology greatly improves the efficiency and reliability of data verification through random sampling verification of data, while the light node mechanism enables nodes to participate in the network with lower resource consumption, enhancing the decentralization and security of the network.
Mezo: Built on the trust-minimizing bridge BTC, it is an EVM-compatible Bitcoin Layer2 that provides native income to Bitcoin holders. As the economic layer of Bitcoin, Mezo actively integrates multiple Bitcoin income channels, such as Babylon, as well as trading and lending platforms in the DeFi sector, and adopts an innovative Proof of HODL consensus mechanism, allowing users to protect the network and obtain income by locking BTC and MEZO tokens. Users can obtain HODL points based on the locked time and BTC amount, and the corresponding HODL points continue to accumulate the income of the Mezo network.
Kelp DAO: An LRT solution built on EigenLayer, using rsETH tokens. It is a Restaking project launched by Stader Lab, a well-known multi-chain liquid staking protocol. Users can simply interact with protocols such as EigenLayer through smart contracts to re-stake their native ETH or LST assets on EigenLayer. Holding rsETH tokens represents the user's re-staked Ethereum certificate. In this way, not only can the re-staked tokens be traded on the secondary market, or used as collateral in the lending market, which directly improves the liquidity and utility of the staked assets, but also passively earn EigenLayer's point rewards, which are issued in the form of KEP tokens, allowing users to flexibly store and trade before EigenLayer officially opens.
