  • RockSolid

    Participated · Seed · Sep 2025

    RockSolid is a liquid vaults startup that enables protocols, institutions, wallets and digital asset treasuries to deploy capital into curated DeFi strategies through single-click, white-label vaults. Its first product is the officially endorsed rETH vault for Rocket Pool, integrated directly into Rocket Pool’s front end so rETH holders can seamlessly earn additional yield. By abstracting away technical complexity, the company aims to bring both retail communities and institutional players into on-chain yield opportunities without running their own infrastructure. The firm positions itself as complementary to existing liquid staking protocols, focusing on user experience and compliance rather than launching another experimental DeFi protocol. Proceeds from the current round will be used to scale engineering, sales, marketing and operations teams. Financially, RockSolid is at a pre-revenue, pre-seed stage and has secured $2.8 million in its first external financing.
