Antares develops small modular reactors capable of producing roughly 100 kilowatts to 1 megawatt of electricity and designs its reactors to use TRISO fuel, which encapsulates uranium in carbon and ceramic shells. Its Mark-0 demonstration reactor reached criticality on June 4 at the Idaho National Laboratory. Antares is a finalist in the Pentagon’s Advanced Nuclear Power for Installations program and is pursuing deployments on Air Force bases in Colorado and Montana. The company plans to bring its first electricity-producing reactor online next year and targets military deployments in 2028. Financially, Antares has raised a total of $604 million to date, including a $96 million Series B in December and the $470 million Series C. The broader advanced nuclear sector faces challenges such as an immature U.S. supply chain and near-term cost competitiveness concerns; Lazard estimates new SMRs could cost about $214 per megawatt-hour, and Antares has not disclosed pricing.

Morpho Labs operates a decentralized lending and borrowing protocol that aggregates markets and allows users to create their own on-chain lending markets with bespoke risk parameters. The protocol had about $6.6 billion in assets locked and counts customers and integrators such as Coinbase, Kraken, Anchorage Digital, and Galaxy Digital. Morpho was initially built on top of Aave before evolving into a distinct protocol that seeks to compete with incumbents by offering customizable markets and higher yields. The team includes cofounder Paul Frambot, who launched the project at age 20, alongside Merlin Egalite, Julien Thomas, and Mathis Gontier Delaunay. Morpho has experienced some security exposure tied to a broader exploit that affected Aave but has continued to grow adoption. The company has signaled plans to court traditional financial institutions as it further develops its protocol and market reach.
