• Cumulus Encrypted Storage System (CESS)

  Led · Series A · Jan 2024

  Cumulus Encrypted Storage System (CESS) provides a blockchain-powered decentralized storage and CDN infrastructure for Web3, enabling on-chain data sharing, value transactions, and DApp deployment. Led by Co-Founder and Chairman Nicholas Zaldastani, the platform emphasizes data sovereignty and user privacy through mechanisms such as Random Rotational Selection (R²S), Proof of Reduplication and Recovery (PoDR²), Multi-Format Data Confirmation (MDRC), and proxy re-encryption technology. CESS says R²S prevents miner concentration, enables low gas fees, and supports up to 10,000 TPS while incentivizing fair participation and candidate consensus miners. The company supports use cases including Metaverse, NFT, DeFi, streaming media, social media, gaming, RWA, and both Web2 and Web3 storage. The company intends to use the newly raised funds to provide decentralized data services for Web3, and it highlights proprietary technologies to ensure data integrity, availability, traceability and privacy.

• Odsy Foundation

  Participated · Seed · May 2023

  Odsy Foundation, established in August 2022 and led by Executive Director Sean Lee, is dedicated to fostering and developing the Odsy Network ecosystem. The Odsy Network, led by Omer Sadika, is building a secure and programmable access control layer for Web3 through a new crypto primitive called dWallets. dWallets are programmable, transferable signing mechanisms that live on the decentralized Odsy Network and can sign transactions on practically any blockchain. The foundation promotes research, education, development and partnerships to accelerate dWallet adoption and supports development of a universal access control layer following decentralized, open platform principles. The network is still in development, and there are already over 10 projects actively building in the Odsy ecosystem, many of them VC-backed (including dWallet Labs and Fun). The organization intends to use the newly raised funds to expand operations and further development efforts.
