- ETHGas
Participated · Seed · Dec 2025
ETHGas provides settlement infrastructure that makes every unit of Ethereum blockspace—computation and storage—tradeable through a newly launched Blockspace Futures Market. By offering transaction futures ("pre-confirmations") across multiple maturities and 3 ms settlement latency, the platform lets wholesale Ethereum participants hedge transaction-pipeline risk, boost staking yields, and smooth gas-price volatility. The company is collaborating with the Ethereum Foundation and heeding Vitalik Buterin’s call for a dedicated gas-futures market. Led by former Morgan Stanley Asia structured-derivatives head Kevin Lepsoe, ETHGas’ team includes engineers and quants from Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, HKEx, and Lockheed Martin. At launch, ETHGas secured US$800 million in commitments from validators, block builders, and relays to seed liquidity and product development. Its mission is to evolve Ethereum into a real-time network where end users can hedge gas costs, unlock yield opportunities, and enjoy frictionless blockchain interactions. The company has raised a US$12 million seed round to fund further marketplace expansion and product enhancements.
