@aleph_im
in their mission to decentralize computing. Much of the Web 3 stack is still far too centralized. We believe Aleph will play an important role in realizing a truly decentralized future.
We are thrilled to be supporting the team
@fuellabs_
! Its been a pleasure to watch as they deliver true scalability to Ethereum.
They were the first to launch a functioning optimistic rollup on Ethereum and they will soon ship the fastest modular execution layer in crypto!
Today, we're proud to announce $80M of support led by

Fuel is the fastest Modular Execution Layer delivering the highest flexible throughput with maximum security guarantees for the Ethereum ecosystem.
We recently sat down the founders of
@NetworkSubspace
to explore their Layer Zero solution for Web3. Including:
• Why Web3 needs a new storage and computer layer
• Why it needed to be interoperable with any layer one
• What this all unlocks

We are thrilled to be supporting the team
@primex_official
as they tackle the problem of crosschain margin trading in a fully trustless way. Primex is uniting the two largest DeFi primitives (Lending and Dexes) to further enhance the decentralized trading experience for users.
Aleph is already the go to indexing solution for Solana projects like
@ProjectSerum
