Fuel Labs positions its technology as a new computation and development paradigm tailored for modular blockchains, branding itself as the fastest modular layer with strong security guarantees and adaptable bandwidth. The project currently offers the Fuel Wallet and an operational public testnet, encouraging users to interact with the network through detailed “from A to Z” testing guides. Community growth is a strategic priority: an ambassador program previously selected 10 participants, and the team signals that early contributors may be rewarded. While the company has not disclosed revenue or user counts, it highlights the significance of its testnet activity and community engagement on Discord and Twitter. Fuel Labs has secured more than $80 million in outside investment, underscoring substantial market confidence. The investor roster spans notable crypto funds, infrastructure projects, and DeFi platforms, including CoinFund, Blockchain Capital, MathWallet, TrustPad, Rarible, Boba Network, The Graph, THORChain, ParaSwap, and Celestia.

Ondefy is a Swiss startup founded in 2021 by Gauthier Vila that builds tools to make DeFi accessible to retail users. Its core product set includes a Fiat-to-any-token feature that enables onboarding to any token via a single URL, email and credit card in three steps, and a DeFi Marketplace meta-aggregator that abstracts on-chain complexity. The marketplace lets users view purchased assets, discover tokens, generate yield, and swap at the best rate using a Meta DEX aggregator. The company is headquartered in Lausanne and employs six people. Ondefy raised $1 million from a group of venture firms and ecosystem participants to support product development and team growth. Planned roadmap items include adding new chains to the fiat-onramp feature, improving user experience, and partnering with projects so their communities can access tokens with fiat.
