- Supra
Participated · Equity · Sep 2023
Supra is developing a next-generation oracle and ‘bridgeless’ interoperability layer that targets sub-two-second finality while claiming security guarantees more than ten times stronger than incumbent bridge solutions through its proprietary Moonshot Consensus algorithm. Its vertically integrated IntraLayer platform bundles oracle feeds, verifiable randomness (VRF), automation, and the HyperNova cross-chain protocol into a single shared-security stack. The network already refreshes more than 1.5 million cryptocurrency data pairs daily, demonstrating early traction for its oracle service. Led by CEO and co-founder Joshua Tobkin and advised by cryptography researcher Dr. Aniket Kate, the team has produced 150+ pages of peer-reviewed research and multiple whitepapers on secure multi-party computation and decentralized consensus. Looking ahead, Supra plans a gamified learn-to-earn “Countdown to Blast Off” campaign and a Token Generation Event slated for early 2024, where it projects onboarding over 500,000 KYC-verified token holders. To date, the company has secured more than $24 million in early-stage private funding from a roster of prominent global investors to accelerate product rollout and ecosystem adoption.

OliveX (BVI) builds a fitness metaverse that lets players work out at home, in the gym, or outdoors to earn in-game rewards. The company develops gamified fitness apps and technologies, including Zombies, Run!, which has over a million players, KARA Smart Fitness, and 22 Pushups. OliveX is preparing a new mobile audio adventure game, Dustland Runner, and plans to add more content, unique in-game NFTs, and new app integrations with $DOSE, its native token. The team links experiences through $DOSE, an ERC-20-compatible token intended as the central in-game currency for purchase, utility and action. Recent strategic funding will be used to accelerate the Dustland Runner mobile release, expand game content, create NFTs, and develop $DOSE integrations across products. The company has announced forthcoming IDO offerings of the $DOSE token on Chainboost and Polkastarter.
